Topic Reading-Vol.1584-8/12/2016

Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Iran destroys 100,000 'corrupting' satellite dishes
Militia seems to have higher authority than the government in Iran.
The country has the Revolutionary Guard to protect the country's Islamic system besides ordinary military, to prevent foreign interference and coups by the military or any other forces.
Under this spiritual guard unit, there is a paramilitary organization that works on the ground level called Basij. They recently collected and destroyed a large number of satellite dishes to protect the country from spiritual corruption despite the criticism by the president and education minister. Their rationale is that satellites undermine the family value and spoil children.
If satellites do such harm to people, what about the Internet?
Enjoy reading and comparing this militia to Nazi’s paramilitary wing or the Red Guards during the cultural revolution.
