Syria: 15 Year-old Boy Executed by U.S. Backed "Rebels" for Blasphemy
According to Aljazeera, Mohammad Kattaa was a young vendor selling coffee in the Shaar neighborhood of the northern city of Aleppo. A customer was trying to get free coffee, to which the boy is said to have responded, "Even if Muhammad comes down, I will not give it as debt." This was overheard by so-called "rebels" who, like many of the U.S. backed "rebels" in Syria today, don't speak the Syrian dialect of Arabic because they are foreign mercenaries recruited from elsewhere in the Middle East. These religious fanatics misunderstood what was said to be blasphemy against their religion, so they kidnapped Kataa, beat him, and then executed Kataa by shooting him. His mother and father were also tracked down, captured, and forced to watch the execution.
The area of this crime will likely be the next targeted for capture by the Syrian Arab Army after their stunning victories that have now taken Qusair. The battle to retake Aleppo is expected within the next couple days, perhaps hours. There are many things wrong with the Syrian government, but the U.S. backed rebels are far worse.
Among those supporting the "rebels" has been the United States, European Union, Turkey, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Israel. U.S. aid to them has officially been non-military, as if there is such a thing to a "rebel" army, but the U.S. is expected to decide on openly arming the Free Syria Army this week.
End U.S. Aid to Syrian "Rebels"! End U.S. Economic Sanctions Against Syria!
