This presents not one bit of evidence about Mihrac Ural, who is Turkish and not Syrian. The sectarian outlets like to harp on anti-Alawite sentiment, of course. Perhaps the terrorists should stop their indiscriminate attacks against Alawite population centers.

DECADES of oppression & finally the torture of children caught spray painting anti-Assad slogans on government buildings in which the Assad regime shipped the beaten & tortured bodies of the children back to their parents as a warning to all not to mess with the Assad regime...That was literally the straw that broke the back of Syria!!

To act as if the opposition started this mess is ABSURD!! YES, there are atrocities taking place on both sides but EVERYONE KNOWS WHO STARTED THIS MESS!

I find it quite telling that so many here on DU support tyrannical regimes if it fits into their preconceived geopolitical narrative. SAD!!!

I was talking about sectarianism and anti-Alawite murders and attacks. The Alawite people have been long-oppressed within Syria. It is a terrible state of affairs.

showing the rebels executing 2 young boys. Just head over to liveleak to view it if you want. At this point, booth sides in the Syria conflict needs to unite and drive out the extremist fighters in their country. These guys will make Assad Syria look like Disney world if they ever take over Syria

But they are making trouble for everyone. They perfectly understand that they can stay in Syria only if it become a totally failed state as Somali.
