Bashar Assad is worshipped as god.
See
http://www.presidentassad.net website by a syrian journalist who worships assad as god. This man is not alone. MANY people in Syria worship him as god. Hafez al-Assad, Bashar Assad's dad, developed a state-sponsored cult of personality. Portraits of him, often depicting him engaging in heroic activities, were placed in every public space. He named myriad numbers of places and institutions in Syria after himself, and other members of his family. At school, children were taught to sing songs of adulation about Hafez al-Assad. Teachers would begin each lesson with the song "Our eternal leader, Hafez al-Assad". In some cases, he portrayed himself with apparently divine properties. Sculptures and portraits depicted him alongside the prophet Mohammad, while, following her death, the government produced portraits of Assad's mother surrounded by a halo. Syrian officials were made to refer to him as the 'Sanctified one'. This strategy of creating a cult of personality was pursued further by Hafez's son Bashar al-Assad.

Syrian soldiers force people to say "No god but Bashar Al Assad, no god but Maher Al-Assad"
Now WHY would his soldiers believe he is god, the only god, higher than allah? ONLY IF he himself proclaims it or at least doesn't deny it. Also, i have now received word from someone who knows someone who has family in Syria that people are being beheaded for refusing to say that Assad is god above all gods. This isn't something i just read online, it's a report from people living in that area!
