Free Syrian Army sectarianism

From Akram--who does not sleep:

"In an interview with Al-Arabyia TV station, Ryiad Al-Assa'ad, the puppet commander in chief of the Free Syrian Army, said that Al-Salamyiah city is pro-regime because it "facilitate the passage of the military reinforcements [of the Syrian Army] heading to Aleppo" (Arabic).

Al-Salamyiah is an Ismaili (a sort of Alawite) city and, contrary of what this thug Ryiad Al-Assa'ad said, it's not a pro-regime city (if one has the right to describe all the residents of a city of being pro or anti regime), it, actually, hosts a very active opposition movement. But for Ryiad Al-Assa'ad and his fellows, you can't be an opponent to the Syrian regime unless you are Wahabi.

So what can we say on this: an invitation to commit a sectarian massacre?"
