I've Been Thinking:

A very popular blogger from Syria named Amina Arraf turns out to be a 40 year old American living in Scotland named Tom MacMaster.
The hoax was unveiled yesterday.

Tom, using the persona of a lesbian in Syria named Amina, had been chronicling the oppression sponsored by the Syrian regime.

MacMaster admitted that he created the character and blogged as a lesbian Syrian woman in order to educate the world about the abuses of the tyrannical regime in Syria.

The blog smacked of professional propaganda from the outset. That should have sounded the warning bell for all those who read it.
