Mubarak on trial: Egypt, Syria, Libya<\/em> and Middle East live blog<\/a><\/h3>\n

\u200eThe Guardian – Alaa Mubarak<\/a><\/p>\n

In Syria<\/strong>, the Local Co-ordination Committees, which report on and organise protests, have put up a number of Facebook updates<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Now, the West has encouraged the use of social media such as Facebook and Twitter for organizing protests in the Middle East, but apparently many have not considered that the criminals and the disgruntled have figured out how to use them for their purposes in the West.\u00a0 “Flash mobs” seem to be people who decide that since they believe they have nothing better to do, that they respond to social media requests to protest and\/or riot.\u00a0 This may turn into a trend.<\/p>\n

Of course, I am not objecting to the use of all “social media”, but it does seem that the world has a tendency to often misuse technical and other resources.<\/p>\n

“Social media” may be being used as a tool of the horseman of war (Revelation 6:3-4).\u00a0 And at minimum, it seems to be used to stir up part of “troubles” which also have been prophesied\u00a0 as part of the “beginning of sorrows” (Mark 13:8).\u00a0 If we are entering a “double-dip recession” (which I have suspected we may for some time), more protests, civil unrest, and riots may also materialize.<\/p>\n

I still expect more civil unrest and riots in the USA and UK.\u00a0 And Facebook, Twitter, and\/or other forms of “social media” may be tools used to help cause them.<\/p>\n
