Freed Soldier Says Ali al-Sayyed 'Not Beheaded, Still Alive'
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
One of the soldiers freed by Islamists on Saturday revealed that soldier Ali a-Sayyed, who was allegedly beheaded by the extremists, is in fact alive, various media outlets reported on Sunday.
Ibrahim Shaaban sad that he was informed by al-Nusra Front that Sayyed “was not beheaded, but he is still alive.”
He made the revelation upon his return to his family in the northern region of Akkar.
Meanwhile, another freed soldier said Ahmed Ghiyeh said that all the captives are “alive and well.”
Four soldiers and a security forces member were released by Islamists on Saturday after being kidnapped earlier in August in the northeastern border town of Arsal following clashes between the army and extremists in the area.
Conflicting reports emerged on Saturday over the validity of images showing Sayyed being beheaded by an alleged Islamic State militant calling himself Abu Musaab Hafid al-Baghdadi.
Security sources questioned, in comments published in the pan-Arab daily al-Hayat on Saturday, the validity of the pictures, estimating that the beheaded man is not soldier Ali al-Sayyed.
On Thursday, al-Baghdadi posted pictures on his Twitter account that show him cutting off the head of a blindfolded man with a medium beard.
He identified the supposed victim as “Ali al-Sayyed, an apostate soldier belonging to the army of the cross (Lebanese army).”
The militant said the purported execution is in response to “the attempts of the party of Satan (Hizbullah) to torpedo the negotiations” over the captive Lebanese soldiers and policemen who were abducted after jihadists overran the Bekaa border town of Arsal on August 2.

Sane Lebanese, I agree with you but then what to do with the moderate Muslims??! Let's stick to adding extremist or moderate we talk about Muslims

I agree with you, Danny. I hope that moderate Muslims refute killing under the name of Islam. By them doing so, Islamic scripture will authorize their killing too.

Reality hurts.

My religion does not dictate to kill whoever disagree with me. What's your faith -Southern-? I hope you do not feel insulted for admitting your faith. Kisses.

Who is squeezed here? You either have to admit that your faith ISLAM dictate to kill all non-believers, convert to a pea full faith, or label yourself as a moderate Muslim. If you convert, or do not follow all all Islamic doctrines, true Muslims will have to kill you. It is your choice.

You think your Torah is better?
Deuteronomy 13.1
If your brother, son, daughter, wife, or friend tries to get you to worship another god, "thou shalt surely kill him, thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to...
Deuteronomy13:15
Thou shalt surely smite the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, and all that is therein, and the cattle thereof, with the edge of the sword.

They entered into a covenant to seek the Lord, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and soul; and everyone who would not seek the Lord, the God of Israel, was to be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.

Haha, what does ISLAM stand for? Look above. ISIS or HA, are nothing but evil in different size.

Are you saying that HA is better now? Is it because they are not holding ISLAM sharia they did years ago. Indirectly, you agreed that holding the true verses of Islam by any Muslim is destructive. What makes moderate Muslims better is they are not as adherent to the scripture. Sharia followers like ISIS want to kill all moderate Muslims, converters, or non-believers. The way you see ISIS is the same way HA act/acted by killing non-Muslims. The same poison they used against innocent civilians is being used against them
