Members of an al Qaeda-linked Islamist group in the northern Syrian city of Aleppo executed a 15-year-old boy in front of his parents on Sunday as punishment for what the group regarded as a heretical comment, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
Mohammad Qataa was shot in the face and neck a day after being seized, said the pro-opposition monitoring group, which is based in Britain and uses a network of observers across Syria. "The Observatory cannot ignore these crimes, which only serve the enemies of the revolution and the enemies of humanity," said the group's leader Rami Abdulrahman.
A photo released by the Observatory showed Qataa's face with his mouth and jaw bloodied and destroyed, as well as a bullet wound in his neck. The Observatory, which based its report on witness accounts of the killing, said Qataa, who was a street vendor selling coffee in the working-class Shaar neighborhood, had been arguing with someone when he was overheard saying:"Even if the Prophet Mohammad comes down (from heaven), I will not become a believer."
Certainly it is a damn shame, but unfortunately the US lost whatever moral authority we used to have to condemn summary executions and the killing of civilians given that we reserve the right to take out anybody we want and those standing near them with a drone.
And what's the line on how long it takes the weapons we'll be providing to kill an American?
You matter. Unless you multiply yourself by c squared. Then you energy.

If you look at it, you will see that the Nuremburg rallies were held to get the population up. Call it a "Fertilization Rally". I mean, they had a sign of fertility everywhere. Jeesh.
