#Syria protesters from secular parties and groups called for their broad participation in the incoming government to help build a modern Syria free from sectarian and religious divisions.
“We are here today to demand a civil state that respects all individuals, regardless of their sect or religious beliefs,” said Tasleem Hamsho, a teacher participating in the protest. Some held up banners in Arabic that read, “Democracy, not Theocracy.”
