. @BurhanGhalioun's perspective on the Opposition on the Syrian Uprising's 10-Year Anniversary
"It is an exaggeration to talk about opposition in Assad’s Syria. There were opposition figures, but there were no opposition institutions."

Everyone who stands against an existing regime and seeks to change it or its policy, in any direction, is called opposition. There is an Islamic, secular, and extremist opposition, and perhaps sectarian, tribal, nationalist, and racist opposition.
In my book titled Criticism of Politics: The State and Religion, I had called on the Muslim Brothers to shift to an Islamic democracy along the lines of Christian democracy that was known in most European countries after World War II.
It is imperative to open an in-depth dialogue with all Syrian Kurdish political forces, as there should be no barriers to working together on a democratic project. In previous years, some Kurdish forces... worked on different national and party agendas.
Syrians need hope and want a dignified life. An important step to do so would be for major democracies to form a special tribunal to look into war crimes in Syria.
Internationalization has fragmented the country. Syrians need to take their fate into their own hands.
