and highly civilized and refined culture. Mustafa Tlass, who was Syria's Minister of Defense from 1972 to 2004, boasted to the Syrian National Assembly about atrocities committed against Israeli soldiers who fell captive in the 1973 Yom Kippur war: "I gave the Medal of the Republic's Hero, to a soldier from Aleppo, who killed 28 Jewish soldiers. He did not use the military weapon to kill them but utilized the ax to decapitate them. He then devoured the neck of one of them and ate it in front of the people. I am proud of his courage and bravery, for he actually killed by himself 28 Jews by count and cash."

Jerome ,   Basalt, Colorado   (05.14.13)
But now I know we should send as much BBQ sauce as possible. We don't want them to get a bad taste in their foul mouths.
7. #1 Charles - you are so right
Rachel ,   US   (05.14.13)
8. Cannibals, cannibals, cannibals. Thats what you are.
Tayfun   (05.14.13)
Shame on you.
9. Interesting...

10. At The Time of The Roman Empire
Marcohoe ,   San Francisco, USA   (05.14.13)
Arab mercenaries at the time of the Roman Empire were already notorious for drinking the blood of slain enemies. It's pre-Islamic!
11. May god have mercy on friends and enemy!
Jew1 ,   Ashdod   (05.14.13)
Where humanity is leading towards?
12. Syria should be turned to glass. For the good of humanity.

13. And you expect to make peace with these savages?
Al   (05.14.13)
14. Disgusting...
Farid H. ,   Germany / Morocco   (05.14.13)
... and those are the savages that the West unconditionally supports, and intends to arm up to their bloody teeth so they may do more of the same? Has reality morphed into some kind of dystopian science fiction horror movie?
15. Abu Sakkar swearing to "God"?
Johannes ,   Norway   (05.14.13)
I cannot understand why Western media always translate Allah with "God"? Who are they trying to fool?
16. eating the heart....
Toledano Jean-Pierre ,   Israel   (05.14.13)
If the video is not fake or manipulated, it's disgusting. I'm against the al-Assad-Alawi- Baath gang and killing someone (one of the Assad troops) in a war or in a fight I can accept, but then eating his entrails (heart) … by an Arabic-Islamic Hannibal Lector! Maybe there are still Neanderthals among us! But, sincerely, I hope that Abu Sakkar was eating the heart of an AIDS-patient!
17. Hearts
The MonkeyMan ,   Arabia   (05.14.13)
All is fair in love and war!!! Don't diss!!!!
18. #1 This has nothing to do
Khaled ,   Jerusalem   (05.14.13)
with any religion on earth. On the contrary, these people are as far from religion as the distance between the earth and the sun!
19. The UN will convene an inquiry promptly
Carl ,   USA   (05.14.13)
Just like all the thousands of inquests when Israel defends from these very same barbarians. This is almost as bad as that Palestinian prisoner Israel tortured to death a while back (i.e., died a natural death of cancer despite proper medical treatment) that prompted mass riots. I'm sure riots are already underway following this abuse of a muslim corpse.
20. Omg....
Israeli ,   Haifa   (05.14.13)
This shows they have gone demonic.
21. It say that in the koran, its true..
jonny ,   norway   (05.14.13)

22. May be the world is better off with assad

23. Fava beans and a nice chianti
ds ,   Los Angeles   (05.15.13)
Eating swine is strictly forbidden to the muslim.....eating people, not so much...
24. #15
Beary White ,   Norway   (05.15.13)
Agree, the islamic god is NOT the jewish/christian G_d. It is one of those pagan house-gods which survived because it was the house-god of muhammed. Muhammed destroyed the other 364 pagan-gods. Once, som emonths ago, I almost fell of my chair when a female priest in norwegian state media said she felt the feelings of the holy ghost when she was visiting a moske in Oslo. And THAT is the way leftist journalist works very hard to laundre the islamic god, they control the main media.
25. #22 the world is better off without Assad
Jerome ,   Basalt, Colorado   (05.15.13)
and the the Islamic rebels!
26. I'm staying away from Halal foods

tom ,   tel aviv   (05.15.13)
tegrate the Muslims in England, France, Germany,Denmark... This is bound to cause some frustration among the followers of Allah. If you don't believe me just ask any European progressive multiculturalist, or an Israeli follower of Meretz.
28. Is cannibalism Hallal ?

30. This happened in Ramallah too
Joe   (05.15.13)
