I AM always amused by the posts and comments of the self-proclaimed preachers of various political thoughts and religious sects on Facebook who give their interpretation to events and incidents and try to give a spin to all that is happening in the world. The most recent one of was about Amjad Sabri’s murder.

The near endless baseless allegations and counter allegations from Facebook minds always had the potential to amuse a sane mind.

Do they really think that their fierce Facebook battles will change the outlook of the practical world? Pitiful it is.
