do you not find it disturbing that bbc would use pictures of western wars to infuriate western viewers of the evils of muslim nations?
if you were to be 'anti mainstream', whatever that's defined as, wouldn't you find it odd that there is a pattern of these 'fake pictures' or 'fake sets'?

My comments were on the topic of trusted news sources, and not the photo.
When I said anti-mainstream I mostly meant anti-mainstream media, ie. BBC, etc... No one who wants to be taken seriously should use Infowars as their source. Have you ever read through historical posts on Infowars.com to see if any of the dangers or conspiracies ever turned out to be true?
I don't know if you can trust the BBC's explanation or not, but it's at least plausible.

A spokesman for the BBC said: ?We were aware of this image being widely circulated on the internet in the early hours of this morning following the most recent atrocities in Syria.
?We used it with a clear disclaimer saying it could not be independently verified.
?Efforts were made overnight to track down the original source of the image and when it was established the picture was inaccurate we removed it immediately.?

As to the story, do you believe it is real? Is the Reuters photo also fake?

United Nations observers on the ground have confirmed that at least 108 people were killed, including 49 children and 34 women. Some were killed by shell fire, but the majority appear to have been shot or stabbed at close range.
