Ekhlaas member Abu al-Bara’ al-Shami uploaded this video as proof that sincere Muslim youth are fighting solely to protect their religion and coreligionists in Tripoli.

That doesn’t mean they aren’t sincere, but it’s hard to believe that there’s not a little bit of this going on. You be the judge:
