On YouTube one of their supporters also added this heartfelt message:
“Fuck bashar and his slut mother he destroyed all of syria with the help of kuffar shia irani pigs and russian communist atheist bastards but our mujahdeen bros will now rid syria of bashar bastard and we will have an islamic country where there will be no alchoal drugs and prostitutes everywhere it will be a islamic laws not wester laws u shia kuffar pigs time to pay now for killing thousands of sunni muslims ur god khomeni is in hell roting and u all pieces of scum will join him inshallah”
Here is another video where the same folks burn down an Armenian church:
I think that these videos, combined with the rather unambiguous message, make the future these insurgents plan for Syria pretty clear.

I seem to recall the West went to war with Serbia on the grounds it was committing ethnic cleansing and atrocities motivated by religious bigotry.
I don’t like Assad or his regime at all but it was secular and upheld religious tolerance.
Vast numbers of Iraqi refugees fled into Syria during the Iraq war and now it’s happening in reverse. God help them.
Interestingly Lord Paddy Ashdown erstwhile King of Bosnia has gone on the record saying the situation in the Arab world has degenerated into a Shia Sunni conflict and he fears the West will be drawn into the conflict on the Sunni side and Russia the Shia. He also feels the West may be being manipulated Sunni forces including Saudi and Qatar though I don’t think he named those two states directly.
I don’t think it would help if the Shia and Nasrallah denounced Wahabism. Wahabism is something the Sunnis have to deal with. It’s a Sunni heresy.
@Robert:I don’t think it would help if the Shia and Nasrallah denounced Wahabism. Wahabism is something the Sunnis have to deal with. It’s a Sunni heresy.
I see this differently. I think Wahabism is “a problem” for any Muslim who recognizes the Wahabis as fellow Muslims. Besides, Wahabism really gives a bad name to all of Islam and it is used by the Zio-media to paint all Muslims as potential terrorists. So Wahabism is a mortal danger to Islam internally (as it corrupts) and externally (as it turns the rest of the world against Islam).
I therefore think that *all* Muslims should denounce, condemn and totally reject any form of Wahabism.
My 2cts. and YMMV of course.

Thank you very much for that interesting link. God willing, this is true, though I remind you that when the Libyan insurgents entered Tripoli, Saif al-Islam also said that this was a trap to lure them in and the regime fell right after that.
Very true although its pretty clear there were significant NATO special forces in Libya that may not be true in Syria to same extent. If there were it would come to light and cause major political embarassment for invading a country with no UN Resolution. The Dubya neocons wouldn’t give a damn about that but that may not be true of the Obama administration.
