There is a way to block all friend request on facebook from people you don't know. Only friends of friends can send you these requests and keep your profile private at all times.

The police won't do anything. As said below, it's part of their MO to use social media in this way. Report and tidy up your profile settings. Honestly, I wouldn't think they've targeted you specifically. It's scary for sure, however it's just a random attempt I should think. They probably aren't using their real identities either. The suggestion to report to the FBI was a good one I thought.

I had heard that some of it is just kids mucking around. Stupid I know, but these are the ones that they should be stopping. I would imagine that the real deal are being watched very closely.

Sarahlou, I am sure they dont have that power but at least they could keep tabs on these individuals; thats 300 whose identities are openly public. They are all from such an array of countries, mainly Europe sadly and Eastern Europe; and under their photo they have "works for Islamic state". They are all over Youtube and Twitter also. Social media doesn't seem to want to block/ban these sorts of pages

yes I have taken my profile photo down and made just about everything private (no sleep doing all that through the night). Yes I shall report it to facebook right now. As for police, yes I need to get some strength up to make that call as you say Izzy for the sake of others they are trying to net. send your husband to the police station Will the Police do anything though? Will they have that power to seek out these individuals in another country?. I have seen some hideous stuff on FB and even when reported FB haven't done anything or taken the page down.

Report and block and as the others state adjust your security/privacy settings so only friends can send you messages or see you contact You cannot hide your profile picture but you can stop them viewing your stuff I get very odd messages in my "other" message box however I just delete and block them Click on the little lock symbol on the top right You have 3 options who can see my stuff-click on friends only and also if they or you post pictures make sure the icon next to the photos etc is set to friends only Who can contact me Click on strict filtering How do I stop some from bothering me Block them

I get friend requests from men all the time - usually American soldiers or Africans...you have the option to block them or report them. Also, in your "other" inbox there may be messages from the same type of men telling you how your profile pic is so beautiful blah blah...don't worry - they probably won't even have seen it they just send the message to hundreds of women..I know they haven't seen my pic by some of the things they say !! so I wouldn't worry about it too much... If you go into your privacy settings you can edit who can send you friend requests and who can send you messages. <em>edited by Doubting Thomas on 21/10/2014</em>

I am so surprised they are brazenly showing themselves like this and are so public. But if I report this then I dont really want to get involved in this nasty business of war with these evil beings. What do you all think is the best thing to do? And actually, it is part of their public relations policy to be so open. They are openly trying to draw the west into a conflict again.

you should report this to the police - think of how many other people they are trying to contact.

Just block this person and adjust your settings, so only friends can see what you're up to. Unfortunately I don't know how you can stop strangers seeing your profile photo. No, you absolutely must report this - you can report it to Facebook - on the upper right handside, there is a dropdown menu that says "report a problem" and then abusive content - Facebook is very responsive and when I reported a pornographic picture, I got an email back within 24 hours. You can actually also report content like that to the FBI in the USA pretty easily: https://tips.fbi.gov/ and they will follow up.
