Syrian rebels encouraged to rape non-Sunni women

"An Islamic cleric has cleared the path for rebels in Syria, who are trying to oust President Bashar Assad, to rape women, so long as they’re non-Sunni. Salafi Sheikh Yasir al-Ajlawni, who hails from Jordan but who lived in Damascus for 17 years, sent a message via YouTube: It's a "legitimate fatwa" for Muslims waging war against Mr. Assad and trying to put in place a Sharia government to "capture and have sex with" Alawites and other non-Sunni, non-Muslim women".
