The first Wave of protest videos
9 years
Every Friday has a theme, one agreed upon by activists inside and outside of Syria who vote on some of the leading opposition organizations' Facebook pages. "The 47th," a prominent Twitter activist, provides us with this translation and interpretation of today's theme:
"The people loved by the messengers [of Allah] are being slaughtered," In [reference] to how the people (whom the prophet loves) are being killed [by the regime]. A sad, and desperate appeal for Muslims worldwide to show outrage with Syria. Even if 1 tenth of [the outrage that they've shown] for the cartoon.
Here, we'll be collecting protest videos from Today's marches in Syria. For complete coverage of the day's events, and even more videos, see our live coverage: Syria (and Beyond) Live Coverage: Assad Proclaims, "We Will Defeat Armed Groups", as His Planes Kill 100s of Civilians
