Combating the Propaganda Machine in Syria

On August 4, 2013 the Radical Islamic group known as Free Syrian Army (FSA) entered Ballouta, a small village near Latakia, Syria. These terrorists had their headquarters at Selma, which was within hiking distance. This area is quite close to the Turkish border and since the border is open to the terrorists, they can pass over and back from Syria at will. They use Turkey as their base for medical supplies, weapons, vehicles and transportation, and food. 

The FSA terrorists came into Ballouta for the purpose of sectarian cleansing. The people of Ballouta are Muslims of the Alowi sect. The FSA are exclusively Sunni Muslims. They believe all other Muslims, and non-Muslims are infidels and should be killed. They further believe that all Sunni Muslims who do not follow their Radical Islamic political ideology should also die. Unarmed civilians inhabited Ballouta. They were small family farmers, and there were no military targets in or near Ballouta. It was a fairly small, remote hillside village that had seen no violence previously, but was indeed close to the terrorists.
