Latakia Fashion Week has been underway in the city of Latakia on the Syrian coast and has been attended by some of Syria's best models and designers. This is the modern Syria that the jihadis and religious-fascists want to destroy so as to create a drab world devoid of any culture and in which women are banned from leaving home without a burkha/niqab, working or doing anything without the permission of a husband or male guardian. Naturally the women of Syria value their freedom and are grateful for the efforts of the SAA, NDF and President Assad in keeping the terrorists and extremists at bay.
