The conspiracy continues… the project of dividing Syria and inciting sectarian Fitna, despising women, raping girls and divorcing couples under the pretext of Hisba (when accusing the husband or the wife of being infidel or apostasy) is still going on. This is the darkest truth of this day.

Damascus: The proposed personal status law in Syria is causing a stir among religious authorities, activists and the public.

Campaigns against the law are taking place on ground and on internet websites, with participants calling for scrapping the draft and coming up with a new one that is more suitable to the modern Syrian society and which must take into considerations the rights of women, children and minorities.

There is no longer any doubt that there are evil minds working to drag Syria into the mire of sectarian emirates, where anyone dreaming of his own personal realm of war or religious dominion or glittering pleasure palace can crown himself king of kings, sheikh of sheikhs, and God's shadow on earth!

When law and order didn’t exist, people sought their own vengeance by killing their adversaries, murdering those who opposed them or forcing them to flee. In some tribes a man could eat the body of his brother if he was hungry, untroubled by pangs of conscience or fear of rebuke.

It has become clear that the Presidency of the Council of Ministers is not blameless in the outcome reached by the "Secret Council", which has conspired to partition Syria into sectarian emirates and to legitimize the enslavement of women and rape of young girls, and all in the name of "Islam"! This is due to the Presidency's acceptance of the conclusions of this council, after having set a "deadline" of 30 days (for 665 articles!), as if it were merely a matter of semantics! As well as the Presidency's decision to study the draft law through a committee thrown together with a bunch of names in a shameful attempt to whitewash the crime which they are planning to perpetrate against Syria, against its men and women and children alike!

We had previously published the news that the Presidency of the Council of Ministers had potentially rejected the draft law named "The Personal Status Law", which set a dangerous precedent in terms of violating the constitution and international agreements and conventions signed by Syria, as well as serving as an explicit formula for the sectarian and religious partitioning of Syria, by way of the most immoral and inhuman ideas and opinions.

It has become clear that those manipulating our nation and its future are intent on passing the draft law of "partitioning Syria, degrading its women, raping its daughters"! The Council of Ministers has recently decided to form another secret commission "inlaid" with several different names with the sole aim of carrying out "several revisions" to the sectarian draft law named "The Personal Statutes Law", and passing it as fast as possible! These "several revisions" are worse and even more extreme than what is currently in the law, indeed worse than what someone intent on destroying this country in the fastest way possible could ever imagine!
