Pakistani Taliban recruits via Facebook
By AFP Published: December 7, 2012
PESHAWAR: The Pakistani Taliban has set up a page on Facebook to recruit enthusiasts to write for a quarterly magazine and to edit video, a spokesman confirmed Friday.
The Umar Media TTP page, which has more than 270 likes, appears to have been created in September and has just a handful of messages written in English.
“Umar Media is proud to announce online jobs oppertunities (sic),” says the first post on the networking website, written on October 25.
“Job discription (sic) is video editing, translations, sharing, uploading, downloading and collection of required data,” it says, giving an email address and asking readers to “plz spread it. This fb account ma be deleted.”
Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) spokesman Ehsanullah Ehsan confirmed to AFP by telephone on Friday that the faction was “temporarily” using the page “to fulfil its requirements” before launching its own website.
US-based organisation SITE Intelligence Group says the TTP uses Facebook as “a recruitment centre”.
“Through its official media arm, Umar Media, the TTP has taken to Facebook to recruit contributors for their media work and the group’s forthcoming publication ‘Ayah-E-Khilafat’ (Sign of the Caliphate),” it said in a statement.
The TTP Facebook page describes the publication as its “official quarterly magazine” and asks writers to submit articles “on (a) topic of your choice”, or on ****** current affairs, history, Islamic movements or the plight of Muslims.
Last month, the TTP claimed responsibility for planting a bomb under the car of a prominent Pakistani journalist and TV anchorman, Hamid Mir.
Mir had been criticised by the Taliban after the faction claimed responsibility for shooting teenage activist Malala Yousafzai in October.

It is pathetic to see these terrorists use the social media as a platform to promote their evil agenda. The people of the region know better. They have experienced Taliban’s brutality one way or the other. There are always a few naïve individuals who believe that the Taliban can be the torch bearers for their religious believes. Our message to them is look at Taliban’s history and you will see that most of their actions are contrary to religious beliefs of a common person in the region. It is time for the civilian populace to ignore their online presence and support the efforts of security forces to rid the threat of the Taliban. The people of the region have suffered enough at the hands of the terrorists, and it is now time to make them irrelevant not only in the holes that they are operating from, but on the online space as well.

Can you suggest some other options like an employment exchange or some kinda job sites or recruitment drive centers.

Facebook can be as fake as people claiming to be immortals and tough guys even on this forum.
