Graphic Images: Syrian Rebels Allegedly Use ‘Small Boy’ to Help Them Behead Captive
Iran’s Fars News website is reporting on a video it says was just released on a Syrian opposition website showing rebels using a machete to behead loyalists to President Bashar Assad. Sickeningly, a child is shown aiding in the crime. Fars reports:
The Syrian website al-Haqiqa posted a video which is the most horrific of all videos released so far about the Syrian crisis.
The tragic incident has reportedly happened in an area located between Talbisiyeh and Rastan towns in the Western Homs province
The video shows a group of Takfiri armed rebels affiliated to the so-called Free Syrian Army (FSA) who call themselves Khaled bin Walid Battalion and use children for beheading abducted citizens.
Fars News calls the rebels “Takfiri,” by which it is accusing them in Arabic of being non-believers. The Shiite Iranian regime has been a staunch supporter of President Assad in the almost two-year uprising against mostly Sunni opponents. Fars further reports:
The video showed the terrorists bringing down the heads of the people on a piece of stone and beheaded them by using a machete.
The video appeared on the facebook page of Khaled bin Walid which is run by Qassem Sadeddin, a defected Syrian Air Force colonel.
The Iranian news agency reflects its government’s concern with the influx of Sunni terrorists to Syria, who now pose a serious threat to Assad. Fars accuses other Muslim nations as well as the U.S. of supporting the Islamist radicals:
Moreover, a new al-Qaeda was formed with the support of Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the western countries, specially the US, in Syria.
The above countries recruit the Salafis from different countries such as Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, Libya, Europe, even Afghanistan and some Central Asian countries, train them in Libya and Turkey, and eventually send them to Syria to fight President Bashar al-Assad’s government.
Terrorists have tried hard in the last several days to make Syrian cities unsafe for citizens, but the army has purged them from most neighborhoods and districts, killed tens of them and arrested many others.
The website InfoWars on Monday posted the disturbing video. Like most videos emerging from Syria, TheBlaze is unable to verify the veracity of the tape. Men on the tape are heard loudly shouting “Allahu Akbar” (Allah is Great) after each blow to one of the victims.
An Arabic translator tells TheBlaze that the subtitle on the video says: “Terrorists of Khaled ibn Al-Walid, use a small boy to cut off the head of a kidnapped Syrian citizen.” Two Arabic speakers say that the Arabic of those speaking on the tape does not sound like the regional dialect spoken in Syria. This would bolster the Fars claim – and previous evidence reported by the Western media — that foreign jihadis are actively engaged in the Syrian conflict.
Paul Joseph Watson of InfoWars writes that President Assad’s opponents:
…are committing atrocities on a routine basis on a par with anything the Assad regime has been accused of, and again emphasizes that they are not democratic freedom fighters but jihadist extremists who will stop at nothing to achieve their goals, even to the point of making children do their dirty work for them.
A recent article in Global Post drove home how important it is to examine each purportedly new video with skepticism. Videos posted on YouTube claiming to be “new” or in Syria have sometimes been shown to be taken from past conflicts far away. With Western journalists unable to be at the site of each atrocity in Syria, these videos play a key role in spreading the message of each side. Global Post wrote in November about a different video:
On the screen was a video of someone beheading a prisoner with a chainsaw. It had been circulating in Syria for at least a year. The footage itself is very real, but it is five years old, and was shot in Mexico. Drug lords carried out the crime. The video has been used by rebels in conflicts all over the world.
The sham videos can have very real effects, creating sympathy for one side or the other. Last week, the United Nations accused the rebels of war crimes, based on a YouTube video of fighters executing prisoners. This type of atrocity makes intervention less appealing to the West.
While that video appears to have been real, many other bogus ones have found their way onto major television networks in the United States and beyond, and are spread widely by social media. It’s not uncommon for the two sides to use the same footage to make opposite claims.
TheBlaze cannot verify that the beheading atrocity on this latest tape took place in Syria or recently, but hope further information will be made available either by reporters covering the conflict in Syria or by those in the position to tell more.
The extraordinarily disturbing video was available here. However, moments before this story was published it was removed.

Posted on December 10, 2012 at 4:25pmHey Beckwill,
When Iran and the Russians have swept through that country like a sharp axe, destroying any semblance of resistance, “collateral damage” won’t mean squat to the interests of the USA.
For Obama, it’s all about the chaos; and oil “necessarily skyrocketing” to $500.00 per bbl would suit his plans for world-wide economic chaos to a tee. He’s carrying out a plan for economic collapse while idiots like Boehner want to engage him on the “Fiscal Cliff.” Well, “Fiscal Cliff” my rear end! That’s like arguing about who changed the “talking points” for Benghazi. None of that means squat when our Community Organizer-in-Chief is hanging heroes out to dry.
Four pieces of advice: Food, Water, Guns and (plenty) Ammo.
“Remember Benghazi”

Posted on December 10, 2012 at 4:01pmCan you imagine a child who would not be mentally destroyed for having hacked a man’s head off? Such monsters are only seen in sick shows such as “Batman” or “KickAss” where the child is irrevocably altered by having witnessed, or partaken in, such callous human depravity.
Children don’t start life believing in such mayhem they would be playing in the dirt with soccer balls, and toy dump trucks except for the evil input from older parental guides who should damn well know better.
I am growing old and impatient with this sickened perverted world…I keep asking that Jesus return and bring justice to this awful world. I ask that He save those who are willing and to hell with those who aren’t. Why all this waiting….Oh that’s right… in the hope that none may perish. In the meantime I guess we who are adults will have to stand up to the fools, call evil what it is, and love the un-lovable into the kingdom of heaven even though I, for one, would prefer a pillar of smoke, fire, and brimstone to be raised over the major Arab/Islam centers of the world.

Posted on December 10, 2012 at 4:01pmIn the historical sense of the Crusades, their primary purpose was the overthrow and elimination of the culture of the savagery/barbarism of the Muslim/Turk hordes and the freedom of the Middle East. The “evil” Europeans were attempting to “force” their “hate-filled” religion on the “peaceful” Muslims.
Today the only area of the Middle East that truly has freedom is Israel, and that same barbaric savagery is a constant threat to Israel.
I often hear liberals decry Christianity as the cause of war, and we hear Islam referred to as “a religion of peace,” when the opposite is much more often the case.

You should pick up a history book.
You wrote:
“the “evil” Europeans were attempting to “force” their “hate-filled” religion on the “peaceful” Muslims.”
Have you read / studied about the muslim conquests of the 7th century. First off, they were horrific. The violence they brought to the subjugated was shameful. Secondly, they expanded like the plague. They were in route to conquering all of Europe until Charles The Hammer Martel stopped them and started to push them back. They still held Spain and still ventured into Italy 100 years after Martel beat them.
It is when we let morons revise history that we end up with this sorta jacked up moral relativism that you just presented. I’m not defending the Crusades. There were certainly parts that we should not be proud of, but to allow your assessment to survive is an affront to truth.

Posted on December 10, 2012 at 5:05pmRoth,
I put those words like “evil” and “hate-filled” and “peaceful” in quotation marks because that is the revisionist view of history, not the true history of the Crusades.
No, I would not agree completely with the Crusades, but I believe that their intent of freeing people subjugated by the Muslims hordes was a GOOD intent; just like I believe that WMD’s or not, it was GOOD for us to remove an evil dictator like Saddam Hussein from Iraq and to free the Iraqi people from the horrors that he and his sons forced upon them.

Posted on December 10, 2012 at 3:49pmIt does? I think there are large pockets who do, but I’d argue the western culture does not value life. We had the Russian purge(s), the holocaust, countless wars, a pro-abortion culture, etc. The only difference I see is that there are more people in the west that reject the culture of death than those in the “east”. However, it isn’t enough to change anything. Perhaps, we also are better at packing up our “death” and putting it away in dark spaces so we don’t have to see/deal with it whereas the “east” has been more flamboyant about it.

Is there a connection?
I would go further and agree that the “western culture” you refer to is Biblical Christianity and that as the influence of the Bible on our culture decreases, so the culture of death increases.

Seriously though, this kinda crap is why I don’t care a lick about the people of the middle east… Every time you think they MAY turn their actions around and make an attempt to act like civilized humans, they show their butts and prove themselves to be the primates we know them to be…
I feel bad for the “innocent” people that are killed by these monsters, however, almost every one in the middle east has been part of actions like these one way or another… So I have stopped caring..
They willingly slaughter each other, all while educating their children to behave the exact same way… I agree with a comment above… Lets just carpet bomb the entire middle east, and just be done with all of this non-sense… Then we can send a message to Mexico, saying “If you keep it up…. YOUR NEXT!”
I really do pity the innocent, but the innocence of today, tend to become the guilty of tomorrow…
