Syrian rebels chanting "Allahu akbar" set fire to hundreds of bottles of alcohol

Yet more indication that the Syrian rebels are Islamic supremacist, pro-Sharia hardliners, not democratic pluralists any more than they were in Egypt, Tunisia or Libya.

"Is the Free Syrian Army destroying alcohol? (Video)," by Anup Kaphle in the Washington Post, July 13 (thanks to Wimpy):

What do you do with hundreds of bottles of scotch whiskey and other kinds of alcohol?

If you are in the Free Syrian Army, you destroy it. Or at least that is what members of the Syrian rebel group were doing in al-Bab city near Aleppo, according to a video posted on YouTube. In the video, a man holding a gun reads from a piece of paper to chants of “Allahu akbar” (God is great) while another man pour gasoline over hundreds of bottles of alcohol. Then they ignite the gasoline.

A rough translation of what the purported rebel is saying before burning the alcohol is posted on LiveLeak, a video-sharing Web site:

“In the name of god, in our holy book the alcohol is forbidden,and people who selling alcohol are devils and we must fight them. We did seize all that liquor from people who supports the infidel al-Assad, and in the future we will keep doing that till we clean syria from all liquor.”

Another video posted on LiveLeak shows two men, who are described as “members of the Free Syrian Army,” throwing away cartons of alcohol after seizing them from a truck....

And John 'Trigger Happy RINO' McCain & Co. are still calling for the intervention of the U.S. in that pedohammedan hell-hole called Syria?.

Well, DoI, I'm not even going to bother to ask you how you came by your "information" about the impending use of chemical weapons—perhaps it was from your "old contact in the former KGB".

But in any case, you've just given us some nifty—if not terribly original—ideas on how the United States can help bring about a Shari'ah state in Syria.

What you don't bother to address is *why* Americans—or anyone in the West—would want to usher in even worse treatment of liberals, women, Christians and other religious minorities, and their Jewish neighbors.

You're just hoping that we will do what we did in Libya—recognize the brutality of the dictator, while remaining utterly oblivious to the even more terrible brutality of the pious rebels.

That this would leave the region even more firmly in the hands of Sunnis—and perhaps of Turkey—would be another plus for you. Using the clueless West to smite your Shi'ite foes would just be icing on the cake for you...

And yet, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus all drank alcoholic beverages . . .

I have significant contacts Israel (lots of career military family) and I can tell you that while the IDF is cautiously optimistic that their defense tech is up to the task of intercepting Syrian ground to ground missiles, the general population is a little rattled.

Israeli families have been drilling in preparation for WMD attacks from their neighbors for many years now. Unfortunately, no one is under the misconception that they cannot be hurt by this.

We have lots of experience with being gassed and we don’t like it much. But after all these years we have good idea how to deal with it.


Never Again.

First no chemical weapon like gases where use in WWII the International Red Cross ask all the combatism of WWII it they are going to use poision gases they all said no. It Syria use chemical weapon it will open than can of worm by lower the barrien for useing chemical weapon. This infro came from Generals and Colenials who defect from the Syrian Government. Plus his father use chemical weapon in the past on his people. Turkey is planning than to free the people of Syria from they government.

All of you Islamistoproblic say all the Coptic in Egyt will be kill by the Muslum Brotherhood it didnot happen yet.

I have than very secret scource which the KGB, MI5 and MI6, CIA will kill each other over finding it.

The Muslim Brotherhood took power in Egypt—what?—three weeks ago? and they haven't murdered all eight million Copts yet? Guess there's no problem, then...sarc/off

In fact, almost 100,000 Copts had fled Egypt by last September due to mushrooming violence against them—this is only going to rise in the wake of the Muslim Brotherhood win.

"NGO report: 93,000 Copts left Egypt since March"

http://www.egyptindependent.com/news/ngo-report-93000-copts-left-egypt-march

And the fact is, the Muslim Brotherhood may be just as happy to extract crushing Jizya payments from the increasingly oppressed Copts as to murder them all outright. This has been the usual tactic of your oppressive coreligionists.

Bwahahahahahaha!

Watch out! It might be dangerous having that kind of classified information...sarc/off

I don't know what the Alawite position on liquor is.

What I do know is that in Iraq it was Christians who tended to make and sell alcohol; if this is also the case in Syria, then this is not simply about alcohol, this is actually an attack on the Christians.

From the article:

"In the name of god [sic: allah the arab demon of blood and war - dda], in our holy book the alcohol is forbidden, **and people who selling alcohol are devils and we must fight them.** [emphasis added - dda] We did seize all that liquor from **people who supports the infidel al-Assad** [emphasis added - dda], and in the future we will keep doing that till we clean syria from all liquor.”

'People who are selling alcohol are devils and we must fight them'. If it is only or primarily the Christians in Syria who sell alcohol, he has just identified them as 'devils' to be 'fought'.

'People who supports the infidel al-Assad'.

Assad's supporters are primarily the Alawites, who are not regarded as Muslims (hence 'the infidel Al-Assad') and...the Christians.

'clean Syria from all liquor'.

This sounds as though even dhimmitude (under which Infidels were permitted to have pork and alcohol so long as they consumed them somewhere quiet and private where Muslims couldn't possibly see them) is not going to be offered as an option.

Total religious 'cleansing' - of Alawites and Christians, and then, when the Sunnis have disposed of *them*, probably the Shiites also - is what a good few of these zealous power-hungry sharia-crazed Sunni Muslims clearly have in mind.

And sellers of alcohol in **western countries** have already been threatened by Muslims.

There's a classic article that appeared in the Sydney Morning Herald on 13 August 2006, by Australian journalist Paul Sheehan, that I keep having to re-post, because it covers these topics very well.

Here's his account of someone he interviewed personally, the owner of a small bottle-shop in a rapidly Islamifying area of Western Sydney. A man whom Sheehan identifies, a little further on in the article, as a *middle-eastern* **Christian** - possibly either Lebanese Maronite, or Iraqi (Assyrian Orthodox or Chaldean Catholic) Christian.

This man was being attacked **by Muslims**.

http://www.smh.com.au/news/paul-sheehan/ideals-become-casualties-of-war/2006/08/13/1155407666922.html


"One of the edges of the global clash between Muslims and the rest is a bottle shop in a small and ratty shopping mall in western Sydney.

"The owner of the bottle shop is suffering low-level but steady harassment from his neighbours, who want him gone.

"**He's a Christian who has been told repeatedly: "This is a Muslim area," and he is selling alcohol, which is proscribed by Islam.** [emphasis added - dda]

"The one-hour parking zone outside the bottle shop is always occupied because local Muslims leave their cars there all day. The owner has written to the local council to complain, and nothing has been done. He does not want to be identified because he fears retribution. His reaction is sensible."... "The harassed operator of the bottle shop... is an Arab Christian".

In Syria or Iraq, the Muslims would have fire-bombed his shop and either driven him out or killed him, or smashed his merchandise. In Australia they're not quite strong enough or bold enough to think they can get away with that...YET; so they resorted to lower levels of bullying and threats.

And the Muslims have tried it on with the mafia-style threats in New York City, too.

http://www.jihadwatch.org/2009/10/muslims-threaten-new-york-restaurant-for-serving-alcohol.html

"The much-hyped, soon-to-open Breslin restaurant, situated in the 12-story Ace Hotel on Broadway and 29th, is giving members of the Masjid Ar-Rahman mosque across the street some agita.

""Five times a day, there's a hundred cabs on the street--the good news is you can always get a cab," co-owner Ken Friedman told the Transom the other evening. He said **some mosque visitors "object to seeing people drink alcohol."** [emphasis added - dda].

"After the recent FergusStock, a festival during which famed British chef Fergus Henderson cooked whole pigs for a rapt crowd of New York chefs and foodies, Mr. Friedman said **the mosque's leaders called a meeting with the hotel.** [sorta like getting a visit from the Mafia - dda]

"They said, 'Can you move the bar?'" he said.

"And I laughed. And the guy said, 'Oh, you think that's funny?'

And I said, 'Yeah, that is funny, that is really funny, because we're not going to move the bar just because you discovered we're serving booze.' Can you name one restaurant in New York that doesn't serve booze?"

'Mr. Friedman and his partner, Spotted Pig chef April Bloomfield, did agree to nix plans for a dive bar in a townhouse next door, but as for the restaurant, "I said, 'This is the United States of America and we'll do whatever the f**k we want.'"

"He said **the mosque had suggested it couldn't control the behavior of "a few bad eggs"; i.e., "we could get a brick through our window."** [emphasis added - dda. IOW - 'nice little restaurant you got here, shame if something happened to it...]

"Mr. Friedman said he made the police aware of this threat."
