There are plenty of articles out there about the Syrian rebels killing Syrian Christians. Here's a few:

I don't think the men who is parading the little girl's body around is showing any respect for her.

Her body is not being cradled by this man or anyone else. The child’s body is being treated as a prop.

There are indeed many instances of Syrian rebels killing Christians, I have never claimed otherwise.

The men are not treating the body of the child with the respect that we in the west would accord it but grieving people in different cultures behave differently. When Ayatollah Khomeini’s body was paraded through Tehran thousands of people lunged at it and pulled it around in their grief. Sickening to us perhaps but not a display of triumphalism over a hated enemy.

None of which changes the fact that you posted a deliberately misleading and extremely emotive thread. It is one of the fundamental points about this website that we can access accurate and factual information that is not being covered in the mainstream media.

When a poster lies to other members about what he has posted this defeats the point of the site. I call on you again to ask the admin to delete your utterly inaccurate and downright fallacious article.
