    Yesterday, I was invited into a Syrian home which turned out to be THE BEST HOME COOKED MEAL that I've had in a loooong long time.
    The dish they made me is called kibbeh, and I think it's now my #1 favorite dish in the Middle East (behind shawarma and manaeesh).
    I spent 5 hours with this amazing family as we went to the market to get the ingredients, then cooked in the kitchen and ate together outside on a big table.
    This video was spontaneous. I had no idea what would unfold when I knocked on their door. Maybe it was going to be an awkward day with little conversation? Maybe the food wouldn't be tasty? ... But turns out that it was one of the most memorable experiences in recent memory, and I hope you enjoy this special taste of Syrian food and hospitality!
    Is it obvious to you yet that I am loving this country?!

      @@freetube5304 I'd argue Muslims for the most part rather than Syrians. Because Syria in its hey day was ruled by either the Byzantines or Muslims from Arabia. The Abbasid and Umayyad caliphate was not a Syrian one and in fact in Al Andalus the vast majority of Muslims were the indigenous people from Morocco/North African countries. No question people from Syria has influenced the Muslim world with culture/medicine/history/cuisine.

      @@harismunanda5322 Salahudeen was not Syrian. He was Kurdish. Before Salahudeen the rulers of Syria was Nurudeen Al Zengi's dynasty. Matter of fact Salahudeen had relations to them. And the Zengis were not Syrians themselves but rather Nomadic Turks. They maintained rule over Syria through military strength and again it goes back to the Seljuk Turks. Everything is connected somehow. I'm a big proponent of the Muslim world being great at some point in time and not limiting it to a certain region/race/nationality and so forth. Muslims from Arabia, Sham, Berbers, mughals, central asia, and Turkic Empires have done great things. Every muslim empire that lasted was because they were inclusive of all muslims, Christian's, and jews. Being just to people and not limiting a person to a race was the main reason Muslims were successful. Once nationalism ends Muslims can be in a position of leadership. America is the greatest country in the world today, because it is inclusive of everyone.
      Anyways I dont really want to go about history or politics anymore on Drew's videos. I come just to enjoy his videos. Can't believe he has 14 countries left. Quite incredible what he is doing.

      Assad is a dictator doing dictator stuffs is a given here and everyone knows that. However the reality is that he is here to stay FOR NOW and the faster Syrians met the normalcy is better for everyone involved.

In fact there's a lot of Sunni still backing baathist goverment. Wanna proof? There's article saying "If Sunnis were united behind the rebels, trust me, Bashar would've fallen within days," it was said by anti regime Syrian named Abu qays. If really every Sunni in Syria hate Bashar, Bashar should be dead years ago like Gaddafi. But he's not. He still got a lot of Sunni on his side, a lot of them even in Syrian people's council, pro goverment militia like al-quds most of them Sunni Syrian Palestinian, there's a Syrian army division full of Sunni too
