Video Shows Jihadis From Al-Qaeda’s Islamic State In Iraq And Syria Stopping Truck Drivers On Side of Road, Executing Them For Being Alawites…

WARNING: Video is graphic.

Via The Blaze:

    New video posted on YouTube purports to show the graphic murder – execution style – of three Syrian truck drivers who did nothing more than belong to a minority faith the local Al Qaeda affiliate does not like.

    In the video, a small band of Islamist radicals with the Al Qaeda-linked ISIS (Islamic State in Iraq and Syria) group is seen waving the tractor trailers off the side of an Iraqi road and then proceeds to interrogate the unsuspecting drivers about their prayer habits, trying to discover if they are Sunnis or members of the Alawite minority in Syria.

    When they “fail” the Sunni jihadis’ pop roadside quiz, the truck drivers are seated in a line in the median of the road and shot in the back of their heads firing squad style by the self-appointed law enforcers, jury, judge and executioner.

    The three truck drivers are shot in the back repeatedly, as chants of Allahu Akbar (Allah is the greatest) are audible in the background.

NB:  More @ TheBlaze
Also, the Alawites are a largely peaceful Islamic sect and protected, along with Syrian Christians, by the Assad government.

Let me get this straight.

This happened in _Iraq_?

The country we spent years in trying to "build a nation"?

At the cost of thousands of deaths and injured soldiers, and the expenditure of billions of dollars?

For what?

No mate - Syria. There is a faction that wants to unite Syria and Iraq under one leadership - theocratic dictatorship, of course.

Fair enough.

The other story: http://www.gopbriefingroom.com/index.php/topic,111250.0.html indicates it happened in Syria, and Alawites are pretty damned rare in Iraq. They are hated even worse than Jews.
