Indoctrination is fierce. Faith should find its place in education with other myths, while the basic visions of life and growth should be exclusively scientific and wholistic with a humanistic component of improvement and hope, and of understanding natural processes.

The merde-och media hates Assad. It has been told by the US "intelligence" agencies and the White House (under Obama) to hate Assad. Assad is the elected leader of Syria. Throughout this website you can find some merde-och press headlines such as "Assad has to go". So what's wrong with the headline? It should say "FROM ISIS (ISIL. IS) WITH HATE if you will but not "from Syria...". The headline is designed to tell you that Syria IS A PROBLEM, When ISIS is the problem. This is a deliberate manipulation of information.
