Extremists are using the upsurge in violence in Syria to strengthen the call to a false 'jihad' in Iraq. The pan-regional 'jihad' is developing beyond the borders of Syria. The Iraqi government has sealed their side of the crossings after Al-Qaeda black flag elements briefly took control of border posts. The extremists however continue to find ways to move between the two countries, and the propaganda call to 'jihad' is more widely spread across the internet and news channels, including many Western channels. (Note: the video states over 90 dead, but official media reports are now increasing the number of dead to over 170 spread across 15 cities.)

Rules for commenters: Due to an abuse of the comment system by 'Free Syrian Army factions and their backers, unfortunately some rules must now be posted. They are: (1) no insults to other users (2) no links here to other sites please, if you want to push propaganda you can do that by making your own posts! (3) no accusations that such and such is such and such religion, race (4) no multiple accounters posting a myriad of comments on a video, which actually come from one person, in order to give a false illusion, noting that 'Free Syrian Army' multiple accounters have been bombarding the site (5) no stupid comments against other users who express their opinions, for example by slandering them that they are propagandists, or everything they say is a lie and not worth listening to for example, or other techniques of blanket discredit used to sway opinions (6) no comments about other user's parents or families, or perceived origins. These rules may be altered and developed in view of the changing challenges posed by the factions. Abusers will not be warned further, abusers will be both deleted and blocked.
