Iraqi Youth Challenge Extremists on Facebook

In Basra, Iraq, a Facebook group representing the city youths are frustrated with a group of extremists who have attempted against their rights on a peaceful sit-in.

Having an appreciation for music, according to some extremist groups is considered a violation of religious laws and a reason enough to threaten the lives of those who have a passion for it.
