Well people fleeing Syria is a pretty good sign that they fear for their safety.

That's fair. I'd imagine it's from a variety of reasons given the state of Syria right now but I won't deny there is probably truth to these words.

Meanwhile, there are now lots of posts on social media showing all the usual ISIS horrors unfolding in Syria such as beheadings, hangings, and so on. The worst kinds of terrorists have taken over the country, and they do the things they always do.

I don't have social media so that might explain why I'm out of the loop. The new government says something and HTS does another. Seems HTS isn't as completely "reformed" from their Al-Nusra/Al-Qaeda days as they would like you to believe.
