Talk:Sectarianism in the Syrian Conflict

There is now a discussion page. Much on the front page at the moment would better fit here, getting only short mentions on a detailed front page. Maybe I'll move it all, I don't know. Anyone else with something to add and not inclined to work it in up front, can drop it here. --Caustic Logic (talk) 10:00, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

Al-Qaeda on Facebook
I have long wondered about the Jihadist networks on Facebook. If you use bin Laden's face on Facebook and have hundreds of friends with similar profiles, you would at least en up on the US no-fly list. Yet people do seem to be ashamed of showing their al-Qaeda sympathies on Facebook. Some of the Islamist profiles are pseudonymous, but what's the point in social networking if no one knows who you are.

Today I came across this; Rise Up Ya Ahlul Sunnah – an English language fan page for Jabhat Al-Nusra. The level of propaganda is horrifying, especially considering that the Western media seems to take their "facts" from these pages. The theme of the day seems to be killing shia. This post glorifying the Aleppo prisoner massacres has received 37 likes. In total the page has over 7000 followers.

Here is a related "kill all the Shia" page; Al-Farooq Media. The real point of the page seems to be to recruit European and other English speaking Muslims for jihad in Syria.

One must wonder how all these hate pages are allowed to operate on Facebook? Makes me think that the whole thing is a CIA operation. -- Petri Krohn (talk) 06:04, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
