Hacked - Thank You!

Anumber of prominent anti-Jihadists were all hacked last night. I am proud to be among them. I am not "naming names." But here is the story.
Someone copied my photo and set up a new Facebook account in the name of another anti-jihadist, Pakistani-Canadian, Tahir Aslam Gora, in the hope that I would report Gora to Facebook and to the police. Meanwhile, the fake "Phyllis Chesler" began contacting all my real Facebook friends under the name of "Fatai Chesler." Many were savvy enough to ask this unknown entity what books I had written or where I was born. His fake bio for me placed me in Toronto.
I definitely do not live in Toronto.
Tahir Aslam Gora (the real one) is a novelist and poet, the founder of the Canadian Thinkers' Forum and the Muslim Committee Against Anti-Semitism.
He's a "lantsman," a colleague, an ally, one of the brave ones—although he is someone I have yet to meet. Please allow me to thank the hacker for introducing us. But why did he (or she) do so at this moment in time?
