"Creating cartoons and comic strips for educational uses can be quite interesting task. It obviously pushes the reluctant students to participate more and rub the dust off their brains. Students love to work in groups and compete with each other especially when there are motivating incentives for them. One of these incentives is the integration of comic strips into parts of your lesson."

The situation of Syria is not just due to internal affairs but is also affected by the Arab civil war. The consequence was the proxy war between Iran and Saudi Arabia. The main supplier of money and arms to the Syrian army is Saudi Arabia and Qatar. They Syrian army was supported by the Saud's in the golf wars of the 1990's. Syria also got financial help from Saudi Arabia and benefited from them a lot. But after the assassination of the leader of the Saudi Arabia and after the war was ended between Hezbollah and Israel, Syria joined hands with Iran. The reason of the proxy war between Iran and Saudi Arabia is also that the Sauds are totally against the Shias of Iran and they know that Syria is helping Iran to conduct all the affairs and also the support for the economic sanctions given by the US. Syria is also economically helping Iran and which was not tolerated by the Sauds. They want to destroy Iran and they do not want to see it like a free and independent state. The gulf countries also opposed the allied friendship of Syria with Iran and they also started many political and social campaigns to stop Syria from helping Iran.

Islam is the religion of peace and harmony. It teaches the tolerance and to give respect to all the religions and their Prophets. However, unfortunately Muslims have, always been exploited and misunderstood by the west. A very incidence of anti Islamic film has spread the rage across the Muslim world. This anti Islamic film is the sign of blind freedom of expression in the west. This film is propaganda and is, produced to invoke the Muslim's extreme reaction. Thus, it gives the right insight to motives of an extremist driving force working behind such kind of incidences. Protests are, held in a number of countries across the world. Some were peaceful others turned into violence. Muslims need to know the real aim of those inhumane actors working behind these blasphemous acts. They should have to tell the world that they should not lose their senses while protesting against such anti Islamic act. Like in many countries, other people have lost their lives during these protests by action of security forces or in some cases, by some unknown attackers who took advantage to get their aims. One of the prominent country in which Muslims protested is Egypt where in Cairo some 200 young men stormed the US embassy and this crowd was then dispersed by the security forces with tear gas. Due to concerns over the turning of the protesting rallies into some violent clash, Islamist party called off the rally even then thousands of people protested in demonstrations at different parts of Egypt.
