UK Columnist Calls for Torture of Assad and Rape of His Children

Hat tip Gates of Vienna

Nothing below should be construed as support for the brutal Syrian dictator Bashar Assad, however this piece is disturbing. A young Frenchman, Aldo Sterone, who grew up in Algeria, posted this video of himself talking behind the wheel of a car while visiting Britain. He talks of a a tweet posted by Rana Kabbani, a Syrian-born  columnist for the Guardian, a left-wing UK newspaper calling for the torture of Bashar Assad and the rape of his wife and small children in front of his eyes. Sterone has lodged a formal complaint in the UK.  The video is in French with English sub-titles, and in it, he goes off into his thoughts on pedophilia.

Make no mistake: I will not shed tears if Assad comes out of this war as a dead man. However, Ms Kabbani, as a journalist and broadcaster, should weigh her words more carefully. I don't know how British law would apply here, but this just goes to show the sheer brutality of this conflict on all sides.

Another good reason why I don't get involved with this Twitter nonsense.
