Your moral and intellectual superiors in the British media classify the slaughter in Syria thus:
The stupid is very strong with this:
"the killing is part of an escalating struggle within the armed uprising between moderates and Islamists linked to al-Qaeda"
Because this is the reality, as per the same genius reporter:
"In truth, almost all of those fighting the regime are to some degree
religious, including those FSA brigades commonly labelled "secular"."
"The crucial difference, though, is that the "secular" FSA
will accept a civil state while the jihadis are fighting to establish an
Islamic theocracy."
And if you believe that, I have a lovely bridge in Brooklyn that is for sale-really cheap! Great deal.
Same genius reports again:
"In a video uploaded to YouTube, three FSA fighters stand looking at
the camera and declare they will defend Khaldiya to their last breath"
"This is the only weapon we have left," says one, pointing to
a suicide belt he is wearing."
"By God's will, we can hold this place."
"The suicide belt is a sign of how Islamist ideology has
spread even through the FSA, as well as of how desperate the battle
against the regime has become."
Ummm. No. Not "desperate". Just another pathetic Islamic excuse for a state. A prison for humans. A slaughterhouse.
I dearly hope BOTH SIDES LOSE.
