A video of a Syrian rebel commander cutting the heart out of a soldier and biting into is emblematic of a civil war that has rapidly descended into sectarian hatred and revenge killings, Human Rights Watch said on Monday.
The New York-based group said an amateur video posted on the Internet on Sunday shows Abu Sakkar, a founder of the rebel Farouq Brigade who is well known to journalists as an insurgent from Homs, cutting into the torso of a dead soldier.
The video has caused outrage among both supporters of President Bashar al-Assad and opposition figures.
“I swear to God we will eat your hearts and your livers, you soldiers of Bashar the dog,” the man says to offscreen cheers of his comrades shouting “Allahu akbar (God is great)”.
Just for balance, when Bashir Assad's father was in charge and Jimmy Carter felt particularly close to the dictator, Syrian soldiers would strangle puppies and drink their blood at military parades, and girls would rip apart live snakes with their teeth, to the applause of Syria's leaders, as the first minutes of this video show:
Either way, the enemy of my enemy is a sick, perverted POS.
Maybe we can hope they all kill each other and the Kurds can take over Syria?
