Incredibly horrible story.   A 15-year-old boy in Syria selling coffee was overheard saying:

 “Even if the Prophet Mohammad comes down (from heaven), I will not become a believer.”

So the Islamists, the “rebels”, the guys John McCain wants to support, dragged the boy through the street, took him to his parents and while Mom and Dad stood horrified they shot him in the head.

SYRIA VIA REUTERS – Members of an al Qaeda-linked Islamist group in the northern Syrian city of Aleppo executed a 15-year-old boy in front of his parents on Sunday as punishment for what the group regarded as a heretical comment, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.

Mohammad Qataa was shot in the face and neck a day after being seized, said the pro-opposition monitoring group, which is based in Britain and uses a network of observers across Syria.

“The Observatory cannot ignore these crimes, which only serve the enemies of the revolution and the enemies of humanity,” said the group’s leader Rami Abdulrahman.

A photo released by the Observatory showed Qataa’s face with his mouth and jaw bloodied and destroyed, as well as a bullet wound in his neck.
