If you live in a country that in the middle of a civil war then each side will demand your support or else consider you as an enemy. If you are not "with them" then you are "against them".
Learn some history.
Maybe you should learn some military history.
Many of our own American heroes joined us due to the ruthless nature and tactics of British officers. They didn't want to fight and wanted to remain neutral only to pick a "side" in the war when they were mistreated by British officers.
They would give aid to both sides and only chose the Colonialist after having their homes destroyed by the "with us or against us" attitude displayed by men that think just like you.
So if I am a Syrian male, who believed in Islam, which side would I choose? How about the side that isn't trying to force my hand in joining them, by attacking and harming them in an effort to intimidate or bully?
Just like I would be with the Colonialist during the Revolutionary War.
Now I know how you will take this, however I would be standing with the Confederates during the Civil War. Based off of my own research, I have found that the North was very aggressive toward the South and they had committed acts similar to what the British did. Since the North won some aspects are glossed over such as small farms being targeted by Union troops as well as the people, not the Military, as a way to put pressure on those that were "not taking a side" to choose the Union.
Yes, you do "take a side" but only when your hand is forced, men like myself would choose to stand against the bully, even if it means we would lose. Men like you would stand with the bully, because you think it is the "smart" thing to do.
Now the 3rd option is another one that you support, that is "running away" to a place not quite so war torn and do everything you can to bring negative aspects of your country with you, such as raping women. I have seen you post earlier in this thread that Cologne is a "bad place", if you educate yourself on all of the things going on in Europe, there have been multiple attacks similar all across Europe. Cologne is just where the majority took place.
