Shabiha terrorists capture transgender rebel leader, possibly torture her

[Ann Egg]

When will the West finally wake up and do something about the discrimination faced by pro-democracy LGTB forces in Syria at the hands of the dictatorship?


Abu Anas Assaheebe, one of Al Nusra's leaders in the city of Raqa who was first rooted by Jordan, was caught by the Syrian Army as he, dressed like a woman, was attempting to flee to Lebanon.

Yesterday, many Arabic-language Internet news websites posted the following pictures, purporting to be of the leader (or “emir”) of the al-Qaeda linked al-Nusra ["Victory"] Front, which is in Syria waging jihad. According to these reports, Abu Anas Assaheebe had managed to pass several military checkpoints dressed as a woman, until he was arrested by the Syrian army in al-Jaswiya, al-Qusayr, in his attempt to flee to neighboring Lebanonhttp://edge.liveleak.com/80281E/ll_a_s/2014/Jan/11/LiveLeak-dot-com-9f8_1389452100-1486675_658216744225320_2071720356_n.jpg.resized.j pg?d5e8cc8eccfb6039332f41f6249e92b06c91b4db65f5e99 818badf9f4840ded15454&ec_rate=230

Is the leader actually transgender? Disguising yourself as a member of the opposite gender to flee enemies has been fairly commonplace throughout history. James II did it.

Oh for fuck's sake. Stop this bullshit.

[IBleedRed]

Are you sure the person in question is transgender? The quotes you posted only indicate that this person dressed up as a woman to flee to safety.

At any rate:

1) "When will the West do something..." seriously? Imperialism isn't cool, bro
2) I rather doubt that transgender and LGB people are going to be treated very well under an al-Qaida - WOOPS - I mean "rebel" victory

Given Ann Egg's previous stances on the rebels (such as http://www.revleft.com/vb/showpost.php?p=2686720&postcount=1), it seems to me like the statement about "pro-democracy LGTB forces" is sarcasm, and intended to denigrate the person in question/the Islamists.

I wonder who he got as makeup artist. It looks good.
