@SamHarrisOrg All the 'moderates' are fine with Assad & merely want an end to the conflict. Its the fanatics/al qaeda who are in the fight

@vijaygkg Do you have any sources on that? That's not how the media seem to be reporting it. -
@SamHarrisOrg@vijaygkg this is a confusion over the word "moderate". The FSA is not moderate, (they are armed rebels), but they're secular. -
.
@lt_diablo@vijaygkg Yes, by "moderate" I mean (comparatively) secular. -
@SamHarrisOrg@vijaygkg right; & even though it's a joke to many, secular Syrians do exist &they hate Jihadists as much as they loathe Assad

@SamHarrisOrg How do we trust those who say they are moderate to actually be moderate? -
@sjzara Well, clearly that would require some intelligence. But we know that some of the people fighting Assad aren't jihadists. -
@SamHarrisOrg If we know that, then I can't see a disadvantage to your idea, if only to provide forms of self-defence. - 1 more reply

@SamHarrisOrg Nice but would pose practical problems 1) finding them 2) In a democracy, moderates may be the minority, rendering it futile.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
