 countries with Muslim majorities and a further 60 countries where Muslims represent substantial minorities? Trying to press almost a quarter of humanity into a single ghetto based on religious apartheid is the fruit of either woeful ignorance or dangerous provocation.
Obama’s mea culpa vis-à-vis Islam extended beyond the short span of US history. He appropriated the guilt for the Crusades, Western colonialism and support for despotic regimes during the Cold War, and countered that with a flattering narrative about Islam’s role in history, featuring outlandish claims that would astonish many Muslims.
Ignoring the role of ancient Greece, pre-Islamic Persia, China and India, he credited Islam with having invented modern medicine, algebra, navigation and even the use of pen and printing. He went so far as to trace the genesis of the Renaissance and the Enlightenment to Cairo’s medieval Al Azhar theological school.
Noting that Thomas Jefferson had a copy of the Koran, Obama stated that “Islam has always been a part of American history.” He also exaggerated the number of Muslim Americans at 7 million, a figure designed to promote Islam as the second-largest religious community in America after Christianity.
Obama promised to help change the US taxation system to allow Muslims to pay zakat, an Islamic tax, and threatened to prosecute those who don’t allow US Muslim women to cover their hair.
He then committed America’s support to the Saudi initiative known as Interfaith Dialogue and the Turkish-sponsored Dialogue of Civilizations, both of which divide the world on the basis of religious creed.
Obama voiced no support for “Muslims around the world” who are fighting for democracy and human rights, making no mention of the tens of thousands of political prisoners in the 57 Muslim-majority countries. He had no warm words for those fighting for women’s rights and equal rights for ethnic and religious minorities.
The president may not know it, but his “Muslim world” is experiencing a historic civil war of ideas in which growing movements for freedom and human rights are fighting a variety of despotic, fanatical terrorist groups that use Islam as a fascist ideology.
Meanwhile, Egypt’s democratic movement Kifayah! (Enough!), officially invited, refused to show up. “We cannot endorse a policy of support for despots in the name of fostering stability,” a spokesman said in Cairo.

The Government of Andhra Pradesh's proposal to take over aided schools and merge them with government schools continues to draw flak from parents and management. Instead of a merger, the government should constitute a recruitment board and fill the vacant teacher posts in the aided schools to benefit the students, teachers association leaders opined.
A couple of months ago, the government had directed the management of aided educational institutions to either run their institutions on their own or hand them over to the government. According to the information provided by the state education department officials, there are around 2,203 private-aided schools across the state with 1.96 lakh students in total, apart from 6,700 teachers. When it comes to aided junior colleges, the state has 182 of them and as many as 71,035 students are pursuing their education in them. Over 2.50 lakh students are studying in 116 aided degree colleges.
''Most of the private aided schools in the state were founded post-independence by Christian missionaries and religious organisations. The state government provides salaries for teaching and non-teaching staff at aided institutions. Since 2004, promotions for existing staff and filling of vacant posts has been stalled. Steps should be taken by the government for filling up the vacant teacher posts in the aided institutions instead of seeking consent for merger with the government,” said Municipal Teachers Federation’s (MTF) President S Ramakrishna.
The same is the case with Andhra Pradesh Patasala Parents Association (APPA) and they have also asked the government to stop the Amma Vodi scheme for students in aided schools and allow them to function as usual by filling up the vacant teacher posts. P Chandram, President, APPA, said, ''Already, several parents have approached the judiciary opposing the government's proposal to merge aided schools. The High Court, after going through the petition, has directed the state government not to stop the release of grant-in-aid to government-aided schools in case they are unwilling to merge with the government. Taking the students' future into consideration, the government should recall its proposal and allow aided schools to function as usual by filling the vacant teacher posts to maintain the teacher-pupil ratio properly."
Meanwhile, Education Minister Adimulapu Suresh made it clear that the state government is not forcing any aided educational institutions to merge with the government. More than 137 degree colleges have responded positively, of which, managements of seven colleges have agreed on paper that they are willing to give up their staff along with their properties, 124 colleges have agreed to surrender only their staff, not the property, and run them as private colleges.
The minister said that out of 122 junior colleges, five junior colleges have opted to surrender their properties along with their staff while 103 junior colleges opted to surrender their staff too. When it comes to schools, 1,200 out of 1,988 of them have agreed on paper to surrender their staff and 88 schools opted to surrender properties along with their staff. ''In case private educational institutions are willing to hand over their schools to the government for better management, we are ready to improve the infrastructure under the Nadu-Nedu programme and fill the teaching vacancies to ensure better education for students," the minister said.
Dr Oetker have launched a chocolate pizza selling very good in Norway. But when I wanted to write about this, then I came over that Domino’s launched Lotta-Chocca Pizzza. So, I put all my efforts in writing about that. Since this is something that you can order and eat within just a few seconds!
Pizza is perfect as Weekend food, but Chocolate Pizza?
Most outlets will have a range of delicious doughy products but the desserts are always kind of pedestrian.
Sure, I probably wouldn’t turn down some churros, pancakes, brownies, mousse, cake or ice-cream. But Domino’s has certainly changed the game with its newest addition that they are calling Lotta-Chocca Pizza. It just looks Yummy!!!
Served on a six-inch dough base, it’s topped with melted milk chocolate and is supposed to serve four. Let’s be honest, I don’t think anyone will be sharing that beauty.
People on social media couldn’t be more excited. This is what we found from earlier this year!
Domino’s is also now doing chocolate pizza and i’m already in a food coma and i havent ate any yet.
Featured Image Credit goes to Domino’s marketing team. This pizza looks like a perfect taste extravaganza like no other.
Here in Scandinavia, Sweden had this chocolate pizza introduced last year. However, now its in Finland and Norway thanks to Dr. Oetker trying to introduce new tastes. I have tested this pizza myself even and it’s really a nice thing. It tastes great! However, the chocolate type that Dr. Oetker is using isn’t fully compatible I think. But the white chocolate bites helps it a lot I think, but this is my own opinion.
So, if Domino’s launches this pizza in Norway. I will be more than happy to try it out as this pizza really look delicious. Maybe the picture says something else than what it tastes. But I need to try!.. I want to… Can I? Should I? ….
