Administrator of the “Syrian Revolution 2011 Facebook Page<\/a>” Speaks Out. The official spokesman of the cite lives in Sweden and leads Sweden’s chapter of the Muslim Brotherhood according to the Syrian press<\/a>. His name is ???? ????? ???? ????? ????\u00a0 Fida’<\/span> ad-Din Tariif as-Sayyid `Isa, born 1985. Syria Revolution 2011 is the most important webpage of the Syria revolution. It has over 130,000 members. It is the major source of news and Youtube videos about the Syrian revolution.
\n<\/object><\/p>\n

An account of how the video was captured and what happened to the Syria Revolution 2011<\/a> webpage on Saturday 2011, sent to me by a friend.<\/p>\n

On Saturday afternoon, the https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Syrian.Revolution<\/a> suffered a sudden technical glitch. The main content page lost most of its content and its membership read only a few hundred rather than the nearly 138,000 members it had had.\u00a0 Shortly after chrashing, a video appeared on the site.\u00a0 In this video, a man – the administrator of the site – is seen angrily lashing out against those he believed had hacked the original Facebook page and taken it down.<\/p>\n

Approximately 15 minutes later, a new message was loaded on the page. This message explained how it was an error by Facebook that brought the page down.\u00a0 Shortly after the original page was restored along with the nearly 138,000 members who have joined.\u00a0 The video accusing the Syrian authorities of having hacked the site was immediately taken down by the owner.\u00a0 It has been sent to Syria Comment, which will presumably publish it.\u00a0 The owner of the site “Syria Revolution 2011” is clearly the same man that was mentioned by Champress<\/a> a few weeks ago. In that article, it was revealed that the gentleman is based in Sweden and that he belongs to the Moslem Brotherhood.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Here is another email about Fida’<\/strong><\/p>\n

All I know is that on March 22nd, Champress got it right when they said that he is the admin of the revolution page. Someone managed to get into his Facebook page and got all the photos in that article. Plus according to Champress:<\/p>\n

????? ?? ????? ?????? ??? ??? (??? ???) ?????? “??????? ????????” ? ??? ????? ?? ?????? “???????” ?? ??? ???????? ?????? ??? ??? ?????? ?? ????? ??????.<\/p>\n

???? ???? ??? ?????????? ??? ??????? ???????? ??? ????? ?? ????? ? ????? ??? ????? ???? ???? ???? ????? ?? ???? ?????? ? ???? ??? ??? ???? ?? ??? ???? ??? ?? ?? ?? ????? ??? ???? ????? ??????? ??? ????? ???? ???? ???????? ??? ????? ???????.<\/p>\n

Also, on his Facebook profile he had photos of meetings he held with Egyptian brotherhood leaders, he had the logo of the brotherhood, but when he appeared on the BBC and exposed his identity, he removed all previous photos from his profile on FB.<\/p>\n

Also, he spoke to Barada TV on Feb 5th and called upon the Syrian people to demonstrate in the streets using “???????” (which is normally used to imply the Muslim Brotherhood.<\/p>\n

I don’t know much more, but I have the administrator’s original (first few weeks’) posts and they were big time ikhwan.<\/p>\n

See the attached sample where one Egyptian comment says “Dear administrator: I wish you can reduce the heavy use of religious language, we want to attract the whole spectrum of people”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Also, you can check this Egyptian imam’s video<\/a> (Fadel Suleiman) that the admin posted proudly<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/object><\/p>\n

It says “to Syrian Alawites … join us or your children will pay a heavy price from now until eternity”<\/p>\n

….Mr. Monajed [A London based activist] estimates that 18 to 20 people are engaged in helping coordinate and cover the protests full time, though he boasts that he can find someone in his broader community to translate English to French at 4 a.m. He has a contact in every Syrian province, who in turn have their networks of 10 people. \u201cAnd the regime can\u2019t do anything about it,\u201d he said.

Several say they relied on Syrian businessmen \u2014 abroad or in Syria \u2014 to finance one of their most impressive feats. After witnessing the Egyptian\u00a0 government\u2019s success in shutting down the Internet and mobile phone networks in January, they made a concerted attempt to circumvent a similar move by delivering satellite phones and modems across Syria.<\/p>\n

Ammar Abdulhamid<\/a>, an activist in Maryland, estimated that they delivered 100 satellite phones, along with hundreds of cameras and laptops…. Ammar’s site: Syrian Revolution Digest<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Mr. Nakhle said he had urged people to use slogans that are free of the sectarian or religious bent popular with Islamic activists. \u201cWe have to worry about these people,\u201d he admitted.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The unprecedented power of the long-distance activists to shape the message troubled Camille Otrakji, a Damascus-born political blogger who lives in Montreal. Where others see coordination, he sees manipulation, arguing that the activists\u2019 mastery of image belies a revolt more sectarian than national, and deaf to the fears of minorities. \u201cI call it deception,\u201d said Mr. Otrakji, a somewhat lonely voice in the Internet tumult. \u201cIt\u2019s like putting something on the wrapping of a product which has nothing to do with what\u2019s inside. This is all being manipulated.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
