CLAIM: Free Syrian Army and The Army of Islam Use Women As Human Shields

[Christie Brinkley]

U.S backed rebels put alawite women in cages to use as human shields to prevent air strikes.




In order to deter the Syrian and Russian Air Forces inside the East Ghouta (collection of farms) region of rural Damascus, the U.S. backed moderate rebels from “Jaysh Al-Islam” (Army of Islam) and the Free Syrian Army (FSA) have placed kidnapped Alawite women in cages to protect themselves from airstrikes.
The U.S. backed Syrian Opposition’s social media activists posted the photos of the six kidnapped Alawite women on Twitter, adding their extra commentary that included sectarian insults to degrade the helpless women and taunt the Syrian President Dr. Bashar Al-Assad.

This is not the first time that the U.S. backed moderate rebels have used the Syrian people as human shields in order to deter airstrikes; however, this blatant disregard for human life has contradicted their alleged ethos to protect the Syrian people and put an end to the government of Dr. Bashar Al-Assad.

Muslims have been using human shields since like forever. This is nothing, the Palestinians like to do the same - but prefer to use women AND children (like the children to wear bombs too). And I have news for ANYONE that thinks it's just the "US backed rebels" - I'll guarantee you that the other side does too, if they're muslims.
