Hamas et al. on Facebook

A number of surprising groups have utilized Facebook's networking tools:

Mujahideen is a global Facebook group with 189 members. The group type is classified under the common interest of Religion & Spirituality. The group communicates primarily in Arabic, but there are a few comments in English.

A comment posted in November, 2008: "Lets go Jihad brothers, lets die as Heroes in the name of Allah...I am ready to kill Jews and Hindus and Americans, are you?"

Another Facebook group called Mujahideen has 43 members. It is under the common interest of Beliefs & Causes. The group description says "Fight for God......" A group member from Trinidad and Tobago, Stuart Muhammad, has Osama bin Laden as his profile picture.

Apparently, the group is open to any Facebook member. Someone who is obviously not a supporter has joined and posted messages, pictures, and video against the group.

HEZBOLLAH resembles what I could see as an 'official' Hezbollah Facebook group. On its page is a history of Hezbollah and election information. It is affiliated with http://www.hezbollah.com/.

Interestingly there is a group called F*** Hezbollah that uses the same group image.

Some other 'anti' groups include Disarm hezbollah Now !, Down with Hezbollah, and anti-hezbollah which boasts over 2 thousand members.

HAMAS is a Facebook group with 204 members. It is a Religion and Spirituality group that communicates in both English and Arabic. One member posted, "Assalamualaikum, I come from Indonesia, how can i come to palestine for jihad?"
