| Syrians Burn Jordan Camp Tents in Protest |
| 2012-10-24 |
| [An Nahar] A group of angry Syrians set fire to their tents in protest at "bad living conditions" at the Zaatari desert refugee camp in northern Jordan, a leading charity said on Tuesday. That makes sense. Not a lot of sense, but kind of. In an Islamic sort of way... Kinda. "A number of Syrian refugees torched 20 tents last night, protesting bad living conditions in Zaatari and demanding the authorities replace tents with caravans," said Zayed Hammad, head of the Ketab and Sunna Society, a charity that helps hundreds of thousands of Syrians in the kingdom. "Police did not make any arrests and no one was hurt. I think Syrian regime supporters did this in an attempt to create riots inside the camp," Hammad told AFP. There are 5,000 tents and 350 caravans in Zaatari, which houses 37,000 refugees, he said. |

| #3 So let 'em sleep without tents. Or just round up the troublemakers and push 'em back across the border. |
