War is deception. If this is what Garcia intended then this is the digital equivalent of a rope-a-dope - incredible

The London Central Mosque has corrected false claims that it said it was okay for Michaela Secondary School to ban children from praying individually on their own time (during breaks)

They do *not* think it was okay for the children to systematically miss prayers, as was claimed

The Ottoman traveler Evliya Çelebi's story about eating honey in a Circassian village is the most insane thing you'll read today

Most significant news from #Syria
