RAKKA, Syria: - A young girl was
stoned to death by sunni-militant groups in Syria for operating Facebook account.
Fatoum Al-Jassem was taken to a
Sharia court after she was caught using the social networking website, in
Rakka, Syria. The Sharia court declared that using a Facebook account amounts
to adultery and the girl should be punished by stoning, according to a news
report published in Iran’s FARS news agency which quoted a report published in
Arabic-language Al-Rai Al-Youm.
The members of the Al- Qaeda group in Iraq, also known as Islamic State of
Iraq and Syria (ISIS) were behind the incident. The ISIS, or Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, is an hardline Islamic group present in Iraq. They have been fighting an active war against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in Syria
The group's ideology is based on
extremely strict interpretation of Islam. Ironically, the Al-Nusra Front
operates a Facebook account of its own.
