The reaction to what Sister Maya Ziadeh said at Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception School in the town of Ghabala was greatly exaggerated, and everyone who deserved to express an opinion or not deserved to express an opinion, as the language of treason, distribution of accusations, and obscene speech of every kind prevailed.
