Don’t believe this garbage. The opposition are lying because they want the stupid infidels to come fight their war for them. I don’t trust anything the muslims say. They’re commanded by their faith to lie to non-muslims.
When a group of bloodthirsty, radical Islamists announces to the world that they intend to brutally slaughter a dictator’s wife and children as the Syrian rebels did, they should no be surprised when said dictator uses whatever means are necessary to prevent them doing so.
