She has been labelled everything from a government spy to a pro-Bashar al-Assad mouthpiece to a Kim Kardashian wannabe.

But Syrian-Australian blogger Maram Susli, who goes by Mimi Al Laham or 'Syrian Girl', says she is just a patriot 'dedicated to the truth'.The 27-year-old, who lives in Australia, has a large and like-minded following on social media.Her YouTube channel has received more than 2.5 million views, where she posts videos such as 'Exposed: The "Assad backs Al-Qaeda" Myth' and 'If Syria Disarms Chemical Weapons We Lose The War'.Born in Damascus in 1987 to what she describes as a middle class, professional family of the majority Muslim sect, Ms Susli moved to Australia when she was a child.'My mother was a big fan of the series Neighbours during the early 90s and was convinced Australia would be just like it,' she said.Ms Susli says she speaks out on social media because she is dismayed by watching her birth country being destroyed. She is critical of Syrian rebels, ISIS and the United States. She wants to see Syria's 'army strong' and its 'borders solid'.'People are dying, and I have a duty as a human being and as someone of Syrian origin to expose the truth about why,' Ms Susli said.'A duty to give a voice to those Syrians who have not been heard, who have rejected the instability caused by the US support of the extremist rebels.' But along with her loyal followers come her many detractors who say she is a fame-hungry conspiracy theorist.Some of her more controversial assertions include that 9/11 was an 'inside job', that Ebola could be a US biological weapon and that chemical weapons are Syria's 'only hope'.She says she was recently accused by one commentator of doing what she does because aspires to have 'Kim Kardashian fame'.'Highly offensive when I do what I do because I'm watching the country of my birth destroyed before my eyes.'Ms Susli believes that many don't take her seriously simply because she's a female talking about politics.'You have to fight tooth and nail for respect and legitimacy that would have comes naturally if you were a middle-aged man in a suit and tie,' she said.'But far worse are journalists who, because they disagree with my point of view, attack me with misogyny rather than argue against me with facts.
