If anyone still had any doubt about how stupid it would be to arm the Syrian rebels, those doubts should have been erased when a video surfaced that showed a prominent rebel fighter carving open the body of a soldier and eating his heart…
The ghastly video shows how barbaric the Syrian civil war can be.
A man, said to be a well-known rebel fighter, carves into the body of a government soldier and cuts out his heart and liver.
“I swear to God we will eat your hearts out, you soldiers of Bashar. You dogs. God is greater!” the man says. “Heroes of Baba Amr … we will take out their hearts to eat them.”
He then puts the heart in his mouth and takes a bite.
This is one of the “rebels” that we want to spend our tax dollars helping?
Are we insane?
The truth is that “moderate” groups that plan to establish a “democracy” in Syria have been completely overwhelmed by al-Qaeda and other jihadist groups in territories that are controlled by rebels. This is something that journalists from Reuters saw very clearly during a recent trip through war-torn areas of Syria…
During a 10-day journey through rebel-held territory in Syria, Reuters journalists found that radical Islamist units are sidelining more moderate groups that do not share the Islamists’ goal of establishing a supreme religious leadership in the country.
The moderates, often underfunded, fragmented and chaotic, appear no match for Islamist units, which include fighters from organizations designated “terrorist” by the United States.
With all of the spying that the NSA is doing, you would think that this shouldn’t be too difficult to figure out. Al-Qaeda and other radical jihadists groups are running the show over there. Even the mainstream media has been openly reporting on this. The following is from a USA Today article entitled “Syrian rebels pledge loyalty to al-Qaeda“…
A Syrian rebel group’s April pledge of allegiance to al-Qaeda’s replacement for Osama bin Laden suggests that the terrorist group’s influence is not waning and that it may take a greater role in the Western-backed fight to topple Syrian President Bashar Assad.
These jihadists are not “tolerant” and they have no interest in “democracy”. Instead, they have already shown exactly what they plan to do once they are in power. They have been killing Christians everywhere they go, and in some cases they have wiped out entire Christian villages. For example, the following is from a news report that was posted on May 29th…
Armed rebels attacked a village in Syria’s Western province of Homs and slaughtered all its Christian residents on Monday.
The armed rebels affiliated to the Free Syrian Army (FSA) raided the Christian-populated al-Duvair village in Reef (outskirts of) Homs near the border with Lebanon today and massacred all its civilian residents, including women and children.
Should we really be arming such people?
What in the world is Barack Obama thinking?
Does he actually approve of the rebels dragging kids off the street and executing them for saying things against Mohammed? Because that is what is actually happening…
15-year-old Mohammad Qataa was taken hostage by the extremist group and was then summarily executed in the northern city of Aleppo on Sunday night. Pro-opposition group the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) released a photo of the boy with bullet wounds in both his face and neck.
The SOHR said witnesses claim Qataa got into an argument at a coffee stand where he worked in the Sh’ar neighborhood of Aleppo. He was overheard saying: “Even if the Prophet Mohammad comes down (from heaven), I will not become a believer.”
His words caught the attention of members of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria who kidnapped Qatta. They then brought him back to the stall late on Sunday night with whiplash marks on his body.
According to the report published by the SOHR, one of the members of the group addressed the crowd and said: “Generous citizens of Aleppo, disbelieving in God is polytheism and cursing the prophet is polytheism. Whoever curses even once will be punished like this.”
“He then fired two bullets from an automatic rifle in view of the crowd and in front of the boy’s mother and father, and got into a car and left,” the report said.
How in the world can the U.S. claim to have “moral authority” if this is the kind of people that we are backing?
The following is a video report from reporter Ben Swann about these rebels. Some of the things that he has uncovered are absolutely amazing…
So what is going to happen if these rebels actually take over Syria?
Well, for one thing they will immediately impose Sharia law on the entire nation. The people of Syria will be under an even more tyrannical regime than before.
Life under such a system can be incredibly cruel. For example, two girls in Pakistan were recently shot dead for dancing in the rain…
Two teenage sisters have been murdered in Pakistan after they were accused of tarnishing their family’s name by making a video of themselves dancing in the rain.
The girls, aged 15 and 16, are seen running around in traditional dress with two other younger children outside their bungalow in the town of Chilas, in the northern region of Gilgit.
The sisters, named as Noor Basra and Noor Sheza, appear to break into dance and one even flashes a smile at the camera.
However, when the footage was circulated via mobile phones, it caused outrage in the conservative Pakistani town.
Last Sunday the girls were shot alongside their mother in their home by five gunmen.
Why are we spending our tax dollars to help al-Qaeda set up such a system in Syria?
It is hard to put into words how stupid this all is. Please share this article with as many people as you can. Hopefully we can help the American people to understand how foolish it is to help these rebels.
