Terlebih dahulu harus dapat Freedom, nanti kalau sudah dapat freedom baru 
syariah. Bukankah petama-tama  naik ke tahta kekuasaan negera baru sesudah itu 
syariah, contohnya Iran. Dalam mengulingkan Sah Pahlevi semua tanpa pandang 
bulu atau aliran politik maupun agama turut, baru setelah Imam Khomeni pegang 
kekuasaan baru diberlakukan hukum syariah, yang dianggap lawan dibasmikan.

  Thousands take to streets in Syria protests

  Pro-democracy protests have taken place in several cities in Syria, a day 
after Bashar al-Assad, the country's president, attempted to calm mounting 
opposition to his rule.

  Around 2,500 people marched in the Syrian town of Daraa on Friday, chanting 
slogans calling for the "freedom" of the southern town, which has been the 
epicentre of protests against President Assad's rule.

  "Between 2,500 and 3,000 people showed up at Al-Saraya area in the centre of 
the city, chanting slogans in favour of freedom and against the hostile 
regime," a human rights activist told the AFP news agency, speaking on 
condition of anonymity.

  Protests are also under way in Baniyas, Homs, Latakia and Deir ez Zor, as 
well as in the Douma suburb of the capital Damascus.

  Rula Amin, Al Jazeera's correspondent in Daraa, reported that the army and 
security forces were not visible in the city, and that the protesters were 
being allowed to hold their demonstration.

  "It's a completely different scene from last Friday when more than 26 people 
were killed during protests and clashes with the security forces and protesters 
here. Today, no security forces are visible at all. People went after the 
Friday prayers ... in thousands. They were marching carrying olive branches 
saying 'peaceful, freedom'. Some were demanding the toppling of the regime, 
others were saying they just want reforms," she reported.

  "It comes one day after they met with President Assad in an attempt by the 
government to calm the situation. Now here in Daraa, these measures seem to 
have calmed the situation a little bit. People say the president promised them 
very specific reforms that will be announced very soon, maybe as early as next 
week."

  A large pro-democracy protest also took place in the city of Deir ez Zor, on 
the Euphrates river, while a smaller demonstration was reported in the Barzeh 
district of Damascus, Reuters reported.

  In the coastal city of Baniyas, meanwhile, about 1,500 people chanted 
"freedom" after Friday prayers, despite the deployment of the army in the city 
as part of a deal to contain protests, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights 
said.

  The latest demonstrations come a day after the Syrian government announced an 
amnesty for scores of prisoners detained since protests began. President Assad 
has also unveiled a new cabinet, in a move to placate those calling for 
political changes.

  Last Friday, Syrian security forces shot dead more than 26 people in Daraa 
after thousands of people staged pro-democracy rallies after midday prayers.

  The protesters were killed when security forces opened fire with rubber 
bullets and live rounds to disperse stone-throwing protesters.

  One of the key demands of the protesters has been the lifting of emergency 
law in the country, which has been in place since 1963.

  Al Jazeera's Amin reported that the delegation from Daraa which met with the 
president was satisfied with his promises that the law would lifted in the 
coming weeks.

  "According to the delegation that met with the president, he told them that 
[the emergency law] will be lifted. They said it is going to be lifted by April 
25, the deadline that the government had announced, and they are happy with 
that.

  "They feel this is one of the major issues and the source of many of the 
problems. They are tired and have had enough of the security forces having a 
free hand in arresting people, putting them in prison without trial for years," 
she reported.
