'Burn Isis Flag Challenge' Goes Viral

"A social media viral campaign has sprung up in the Arab world that involves burning the Isis flag.

The trend started after three Lebanese youths posted pictures of them burning the flag associated with the militant group, also known as Islamic State, in the middle of Sassine Square in Beirut.

Soon afterwards, a Lebanese YouTube user uploaded a video of himself burning a flag. Similar to the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge in which people choose others to their do own videos, the user nominated "the whole world " to take part in the #BurnISISFlagChallenge.

The campaign soon went viral, especially in Lebanon following the beheading of one of the country's soldiers by IS.

However, some are not happy with the protest campaign and are calling for those found burning the flag to face the "sternest punishments upon them".

Lebanon's justice minister Ashraf Rifi accused the three who burnt the flag at Sassine Square of insulting Islam since their banner featured the words: "There is no god but God and Muhammad is his Prophet," written on it. Rifi said this "has nothing to do with Isis and its terrorist approach," reported Asharq Al-Awsat.

Nabil Naqoula, a member of Lebanon's Change and Reform parliamentary group, dismissed Rifi's suggestions the group intended to insult Islam.

He said: "The youths who burned the Isis flag did not mean to insult the Islamic religion", adding that "this flag does not represent Islam in the slightest".

US president Barack Obama and prime minister David Cameron have said they will use the Nato summit in Wales to discuss with other world leaders, especially from the Middle east, how they can "squeeze out" IS."

Of course there'll be 1000's of things like this going on through-out the arab world but you wont hear about them in western media.

Just like all the India rapes cases, people got the idea that it was some kind of popular trend yet if you ever went to India you'd read about nothing but debates and anti-rape marches and protests etc etc. But you wouldn't hear about them in western media.

Media is a big deal - it can deliver news, fail to deliver some news or deliver propaganda. Whatever is delivered, the masses eat it up.

But why am I tell you this? You're no dumbo...... :2 cents:

The real challenge is to burn their flag in front of ISIS members.

I'm always suspicious of this.

Maybe it did happen organically in the Arab world, but too often it seems like Jewspeak for "giving it the big push".

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Went viral? How many of you have seen one? I know I haven't

This is the biggest thing that's going to destroy Islamic extremism -- and it doesn't seem to happen very much...

A vocal and loud rejection of the nutbag ideology by other Muslims.

Do you frequent a lot of Arab sites?

it's a trap !

Of course he does, he's Baddog. :1orglaugh

Good that it is started by arabs and such, otherwise it would have been "racist".

I nominate @MittRomney @BarackObama and @RobSchneider for the #BurnISISFlagChallenge! You have 24 hours or you have to join ISIS!

I already made the point in post number 2. They ARE vocal about it and their are marches and protests but do you expect the BBC or CNN or FOX news to go to Syria and cover it? Of course not, YOU WILL NEVER HEAR ABOUT IT.

How many muslims do you personally know? I know many and I can tell you that they are totally angry, ashamed and disgusted about it but don't expect them to set up a radio station and start broadcasting about it.

I don't listen to some people:winkwink:

better campaign would be pissing on it .

Sounds pretty lame.

Here's to beheading!
