ALEPPO, Syria, June 11 (UPI) -- The killing of a teenager allegedly by al-Qaida-linked fighters who accused him of blasphemy has been condemned by Syrian rebels and activists, officials say.
A spokesman for the Free Syrian Army said the death of Mohammad Qataa was an act of "terrorism," the BBC reported Tuesday.
There was "no justification" for the killing and those responsible should hand themselves over to "legitimate authorities" in Aleppo, said Louay Meqdad.
He emphasized the killers were not connected to FSA, the main rebel group fighting Syrian forces.

Is that right?
Half right as Russia,China,Iran,Turkey,Kuwait,Saudi Arabia,Pakistan,Yemen,Qatar is also funding that madness all for a 'minority elite' that has more blood on it's hands.
For the record for those of us who don't support either side have nothing to be ashamed about.
Yes you do, if you pay taxes, you are indirectly funding the violence as our governments are funding the rebels, like they did in Libya.
That is the reality. It isn't a nice reality, but if we keep paying taxes, we are funding what is happening. It is an undeniable reality.

No simple fact is the tax revenue collected from us doesn't cover government spending hence the trillion dollar borrowing from other countries primarily China.

The reality is the intellectual dishonesty for those who are only making an 'issue' of western governments as eastern, and middle eastern governments are right along side them in Syria.
Back to the vilification of the west, and pay no never mind to what their own people do.
With Russia and Iran arming Assad's forces, and Lebanon's Hezbollah fighters joining the war on his behalf, Western powers have agreed to step up aid to the mainly Sunni rebels.
Quoting two Gulf sources, reports that Saudi Arabia has stepped up its lead role in arming the rebels.
Egypt France Germany Italy Jordan Qatar Saudi Arabia Turkey United Arab Emirates United Kingdom United States
Seriously cut the BS how about some denying the majority of the Aid The FSA is receiving comes from those surrounding Arab states.
