Tunis: Three Tunisian jihadists have been arrested by the Syrian army, Xinhua reported.

According to Shems FM, the three belong to a group of foreign fighters, dubbed "Jibhat Nosrat El Shem", who are supporting the rebel Free Syrian Army against the forces of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

It is estimated that hundreds of Tunisian jihadists are currently fighting against Assad's troops.

The Syrian conflict has claimed up to 20,000 lives, according to various groups. The UN puts the toll at over 18,000 people, while Syrian authorities say 8,000 have died.

I like the answer of this German Scholar when he was asked about terrorism and Islam: He said: · Who started the First World War, which killed 37 million and injured 22, 379, 053 that includes 7 million civilians? Muslims? · Who started the Second World War, which killed over 60 million, which was over 2.5% of the world population? Muslims? · Who killed about 20 million of Aborigines in Australia? Muslims? · Who drop the nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which killed 166,000 people in Hiroshima and 80,000 in Nagasaki? Muslims? · Who killed more than 100 million Red Indians in North America? Muslims? · Who killed more than 50 million Indian in South America? Muslims? · Who took about 180 million African people as slaves and when 88% of them died, threw them into the Atlantic Ocean? Muslims? NO They weren’t Muslims! First of all, you have to define terrorism properly…. If a non-Muslim does something bad… it is crime. But if a Muslim commits the same, he is a terrorist. So first remove the double standard… then come to the point. Just for your information
