Rate Article:
The al-Qaeda linked al-Nusra Front executed 11 men they accused of taking part in massacres against Syrian people, a video posted online showed.
An unidentified man whose face is covered by a black balaclava is seen shooting the men, who are blindfolded and kneeling in a row, in the back of the head. As each man is shot, cried of "God is great" can be heard from off camera.
The sharia court for the eastern region in Deir al-Zor has sentenced to death these apostate soldiers that committed massacres against our brothers and families in Syria," the executioner said as he walked behind the men. He returned to shoot some men more than once to ensure they were dead. The man also says that the executed men were responsible for the massacre of civilians in Banias, two weeks ago.
It's the second execution style video to come out of Syria this week, after similar footage emerged from the Northern province of Raqqa, in which three blindfolded men were executed by a shot to the head.

I seriously don't know how to form an opinion over this. Nobody deserves to be shot from behind, especially unarmed. I have watched movies and documentaries about how Americans who commit treason are executed, and if I am not mistaken, they are tied to a post and out of 8-12 men, it is one man's rifle that executes the prisoner so that no one knows who fired the fatal shot. In biblical times, when men or women commited sin according to God's word (old testament, Torah), they were stoned to death. I have watched a documentary showing how someone is stoned to death. It is rivoting to witness to say the least. I despise what is happening to the Syrian people because of Bashar al Assad. When anyone is wronged, justice should prevail. The matter of how it should prevail is what I find questionable because if we take matters into our own hands, then are we any better then they who are murderers?
