Syrian regime forces and sectarian militias carried out on Monday nearly two hundred executions in Aleppo, which included women and children, according to eyewitnesses from within the city, Al Arabiya News Channel reported.
According to activists on the ground, Hezbollah militia carried out most of the mass executions in the war-torn city.
Muhammad Al-Yaqoubi, a prominent Syrian Islamic scholar and religious leader who fled Syria tweeted on Tuesday, that he was receiving questions from Aleppo, including whether “a man can kill his wife or sister before she is raped by Assad Forces in front of him.”
The situation there is horrendous...and on a very large scale...
Many Americans are unaware of the facts...the media has not been giving it a lot of coverage.
(And online discussion seems to be marked by an amazing lack of compassion fr fellow human beings...most people seem to only care about scoring points in trying to advance their partisan political agendas... if they can't spin the story to either blame or praise Trump..or Obama..they could care less).
But the human suffering..and the devastation is on a really large scale. "Before" and "After":
Where did all the people go? Are they refugees in Jordan or somewhere? What a horrible site-- it has the roofless look of an archaeological dig. This reminds me of Germany, after WWII.
That Assad would do this to his own people is horrendous!
Is it all about the oil? I mean, is that why the Russians are helping Assad?
The times were different, back then. I don't blame Lincoln, but I do blame Assad. This is wholesale slaughter of civilians, and our Civil War wasn't. It was wholesale slaughter of soldiers. Yes, civilians died in our Civil War, too, but they weren't targeted.

Did he say yes or no? I don't know much about what those muslims believe but a yes answer would not surprise me.
Dear God-- what a question!!!
What horrible choices to face! My prayers are with them!

Yes, it is-- no mercy shown for the people caught up in it, either. Utterly horrendous!
Here's a typical view-- just one of many. This is what Syria looks like today:

It's a civil war you can't blame Lincoln for the over six hundred thousand that died in our civil war.

We used atomic bombs on civilians.
During the Civil War? What?
What a horrible mess!
