❊ Thank you Tom MacMaster

I don’t know who you are, but I already know that you’re a prick.

You say you never expected this kind of attention? Bullshit! A gay girl in Damascus who writes in perfectly good English? A damsel in distress who’s easy on the eyes and fights tyranny in her country, only in the end to be kidnapped by regime goons? Can there be a more effective attention grabbing device? A prick and a liar you are Mr. MacMaster.

Thanks for deceiving tens of thousands of people into supporting “Amina”, joining Facebook groups and changing our avatars on Twitter. Thank you for making us all look like idiots and for diverting our attention from the real people who are being tortured in Syrian jails..

You have forever tarnished the reputation of bloggers in this region who chose to write in English. One day if I’m kidnapped by my government, many readers won’t care because I could turn out to be another Amina. A fictional entity concocted by a western fool who had good intentions.

Thanks a lot…
