Guardian Homework Week 1




This article is about people who have joined a group on Facebook which is about the hatred of Muslims.The group is called STOP OUR SIKH SISTERS BEING DRUGGED, RAPED, BEATEN AND USED FOR PROSTITUTION and claims that Sikh, Hindu and white girls from the ages of 13 to 22 are "being held against their will, drugged and gang raped" for the "pleasure" of Muslim extremists. The group has 2,900 members and was created by Singh Kaur.Senior figures from Hindu and Sikh groups have accused Muslims of using underhand, sometimes violent, methods to convert girls to Islam. There has never been a formal investigation and there is no official complaint on record.


Personally, I think that Facebook is just another way for people to meet others. However there have been groups such as the one above which suggests that if it is causing such a big issue then Facebook need to do somthing or their reputation within the media will decline not only that they will be portrayed to be unethical. On the other hand in relation to the last sentence I think there have been no complaints because people are afraid of what might happen to them.
