What, they want all of the people they conquer to be pudgy and out of shape so they can't rebel easily?

Books cannot include any reference to evolution. And teachers must say that the laws of physics and chemistry "are due to Allah's rules and laws."

The letter ends with a firm warning: "This is an obligatory announcement, and all violators will be punished." 200 Syrians killed in one day.

The brutal advances of ISIS in Syria come as the country grapples with a three-year civil war with no clear victor in sight.

Reminds me of a certain political party here in the US that wants to outlaw evolution.

and "hide" it on the books while convincing everyone to look the other way while screaming "war" without mathematics. Geometry of how to get said oil to Turkey while everyone pretends they don't see it being shipped is also handy.

Doing quadratic equations in your head to block out the fact that more money will be thrown at the "anti-terror" business while supporting the "terror and spying on Americans" business" is just a bonus.
