One Of Those “Oh Crap” Moments

We all have one of those days or moments where you do something and you realize that it was the wrong thing to do…..and what is the for instinct?  “OH Crap!”  Right?

Well one of the biggest oh crap moments occurred in Syria among the rebels fighting Assad….

(Newser) – Everybody makes mistakes at work. Here at Newser, that means making a typo. For fighters in al-Qaeda-affiliated rebel groups, it means beheading the wrong guy. Militants from the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria posted a video online recently in which they showed off a severed, bearded head, saying it belonged to an Iraqi volunteer for President Bashar al-Assad’s forces. That would have been par for the course for Syria, had another Islamist rebel group not recognized the head as belonging to one of its commanders, the BBC reports.

After being wounded in battle, Harakat Ahrar al-Sham commander Fares Maroush apparently believed he’d been captured by a pro-government militia, so he said a prayer that would mark him as a Shiite—and likely governent ally. But he was actually being taken to the hospital by the ISIS, and when they heard the prayer they took it at face value and killed him. ISIS has apologized, asking for “understanding and forgiveness,” the Telegraph reports. A spokesman pointed out a Koran passage saying Allah would forgive someone who killed in error.

If this was not so tragic….my devious mind could find a couple levels of humor in this……but in the mindset of good taste I will let it go…..

I see that Muslims are NO different than so-called Christians…..they will use their Holy book to justify anything and everything….

Next level of analysis…….this is a prime example of what will be happening in Syria for decades if not longer, after Assad is no longer calling the shots, so to speak….Syria is going to be a carbon copy of Iraq….NO one knows who is who only that they are fighting Assad….a terrible way to run a a war……..no amount of mindless banter by politician and so called do-gooders will change the fact that violence is there to stay in Syria….. dream on for a peaceful solution….just like Iraq!
