Syrian Catholic priest Francois Murad killed last weekend by jihadi fighters was beheaded, according to a report by Catholic Online which is linking to video purportedly showing the brutal murder.
As TheBlaze reported last week, Murad, 49, was setting up a monastery in Gassanieh, northern Syria. Last Sunday, on the Christian leader’s Sabbath, extremist militants trying to topple President Bashar Assad breached the monastery and grabbed Murad.
While earlier reports suggested Murad may have been shot to death, Catholic Online reported Saturday: “The Vatican is confirming the death by beheading of Franciscan Father, Francois Murad, who was martyred by Syrian jihadists on June 23.”
If Obama wanted to send a clear message to the jihadists of the world it would be this, “The United States is witholding all foreign aid to Syrian rebels until those who have participated in this slaughter are punished. Failure to do so will result in the permanent halt of all US aid. You have 30 days to comply.” End

I’m pretty sure beheading a priest has nothing to do with overthrowing Assad.
This was just having some fun for photo ops to the rebels.
So shouldn’t we be refraining from helping either side? It’s a civil war let their people fight it & we will deal with the behavior of whoever comes out on top.
Personally I think the Christians should get together in their own area & let asaad & the rebels kill each other for another few years. Bring in some Egyptians & kill them too. Heck import some Libyan rebels & kill them too.
So many news stories of hell on a Sunday morning it’s really getting me undone.

More evidence of the violent intolerance of extremists in the Middle East…no surprise there. I feel compelled to remind our readers that support for the extreme positions runs pretty high in the ME, at least by traditional American standards…liberty and justice for all.
Thanks for joining us Daddy-WAWH!

Sounds pretty good, there’s safety in numbers…unless…that puts them all in one place and vulnerable to one massive assault.
If they did that they better also be up on Israel’s security policy!
I feel like it’s been Sunday morning in America for a good five years now.
I feel like its been five years of Sunday mourning’s.
