Depok, MINA – Director of Education for Religious Schools and Islamic Boarding Schools (Pesantren) of the Ministry of Religious Affairs Ahmad Zayadi has said santris can fight hoaxes and accusations of Muslims as terrorists through a literacy culture.

Zayadi asserted, in the current millenial age, the youth must change the civilization of muscles by writing. “We have to fight thoughts with thoughts as well as writing with writing” he said.
This literacy strategy, said Zayadi became the focus of the celebration of santri Day second edition whose purpose is to raise the dignity of students and pesantren who are still considered weak and backwarded.
