The lies of the Syrian exile opposition: the story of the killing of Al-Buti

I really have not seen liars worse than the Saudi-Qatari branch of the Syrian exile opposition.  They have been for long months calling the cleric Al-Buti a traitor and an apostate and have even issued rulings for his murder and he has been attacked day and night by opposition leaders and supporters.  And yet: when he was killed (along with scores of civilians) by a suicide bomb (clearly by opposition armed gangs), those same enemies of Al-Buti are vomiting the most ridiculous stories and theories about his murder: that he converted to the opposition the night before, that the regime killed him (presumably because he had only days ago supported a ruling that considered Jihad to be only on the side of the regime), or whatever.  I mean, can they at least vomit lies that are less ridiculous?  If this is the quality of their lies before even reaching power, can they imagine the quality of their propaganda once (or if) in power?
