I don't usually make these threads but this was just horrifying.

Beirut (AFP) - The most radical jihadist group fighting in Syria on Sunday killed a 102-year-old man along with his whole family in the heart of the country, a monitoring group said.

"Some members of the family were burned alive, others killed in their sleep,"

Syria is just the Wild West of jihad right now. When I was in Afghanistan they explained that a lot of the ideologically driven fighters were heading to Syria. The things you will see people do in the name of Jihad is just nuts.

Burned alive? Medieval.

Obama is hellbent on continuing this bloodshed too. 3 billion dollars on the way to those guys to help them kill even more innocent people. this would have been over by now without international involvement from the US.

Is this any worse than any other 5 casualties in war? When the US kills five people its collateral damage or we hear the usual "war is hell".

Are you purposely being daft? Or can you really not see the difference?

Murdering a family in their sleep for being Alawites is not remotely close to being the same thing as collateral damage.

Its murder either way. If you bomb a house block to kill one guy then you purposly killed all the other people living there.

If US really wanted to fight terrorism, it would support a secular Assad regime. However, that was never the goal, so it arms the religious fundamentalist filled opposition.

The old man was sleeping when he was slayed.

I'm sure they had guns, and yes it would have.
