Home DEBUNKED MACC Chief "Speechless" That Selangor Refuses to Sign Anti-Graft Pledge
MACC Chief "Speechless" That Selangor Refuses to Sign Anti-Graft Pledge
Selangor the only state to yet adopt the anti-corruption pledge and reports of its refusal to do so have left the MACC chief "speechless".
Selangor executive councillor Iskandar Abdul Samad reportedly said that the state government would not sign the anti-corruption pledge, as it had better methods to prevent graft and abuse of power by all quarters, including the civil servants, according to a Malay daily.
"My comment is, I am speechless. Let the rakyat evaluate, that is all," the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief commissioner Datuk Dzulkifli Ahmad responded when asked to comment on the report.
"Selangor says it does not want to sign. I read about that in the newspaper, so I don't know whether that is really the stand of the state government," he told a press conference today.
Selangor is the only state government that has not adopted the anti-graft pledge.
On the question of why former Felda chairman Tan Sri Isa Samad was not handcuffed when he was brought to court to be remanded on Wednesday, Dzulkifli said it was the prerogative of the MACC officer to determine if a person should be handcuffed.
"I believe my officer in this case who exercised his prerogative has a valid reason," the MACC chief said.
The MACC chief was also asked for his comments on the allegation by Padang Serai MP N Surendran that the commission was in breach of Article 5 of the Federal Constitution by making detainees wear the orange lock-up attire.
"If any provision under the law is unconstitutional, take it up in court and challenge, that is what the court is for," Dzulkifli said.

Maintaining trust in business - and the profession - is at the heart of what accountants are, and must be, all about. So how are we doing?
ACCA recently held a symposium of the chairmen of its global forums, the expert groups which advise us on technical and policy issues. Trust was the number one topic of interest.
To inform the discussion, we invited Laurence Evans, the president of the consultancy firm Edelman-Berland, which produces the Global Trust Barometer, the leading global study of trust and reputation, as a guest speaker.
Mr Evans drew out a number of key findings from his firm's 2013 survey. They confirmed the common wisdom that the problem of trust in business among the general public since the Global Financial Crisis was widespread. Although it was noted that for all the banking scandals, tax avoidance controversies, executive pay furore and incidents such as the BP Deepwater Horizon oil disaster, people still trust business more than they do politicians. This was because business for all its faults, was seen as being able to get things done, while governments were deemed ineffectual.
The problem for business, Mr Evans said, was more one of perception rather than performance. It was governance and incentives that were questioned - the public had lost faith that decisions were being made for the right motives. Bank remuneration was an obvious example.
The key to reversing this trend of public scepticism, he stressed, was for business to make a strong commitment to transparency. Companies had an opportunity to create a 'virtuous circle' of trust by engaging in open and honest communication with stakeholders and the general public. And they would be foolish not to, for the debate about their performance would take place on social media, anyway, without their involvement. Accountants are in an ideal place to shape corporate communications, with regard to developments such as integrated reporting, which can demonstrate transparently the real value drivers in business.
There was another finding of specific interest to accountants. People generally placed more trust in the word of subject experts within a business than they do in CEOs. So accountants should step forward and speak for their companies - their expertise and knowledge is likely to be respected. And professional bodies have too a key role to play - as the only institutions that have enhanced their reputation during the crisis are non-governmental organisations, or NGOs. So there is much here we can take heart from.
While the specifics of audit improvements will be the subject of long debate - and ACCA sympathises with the commission's nod to enhanced auditor commentary as a possible way forward - it is clear that accountants must keep in mind the bigger picture. Trust, transparency and taking responsibility is essential, if public confidence in business and our own profession is to be regained and retained.

Report: Police DID NOT remove Lafayette Park protestors for Trump photo-op
The Interior Department Inspector General published the results of his investigation into the clash in Lafayette Park in June 2020. Mark Greenblatt found that federal police officers got involved to make room for contractors installing a new fence in the park.
This happened to coincide with then President Trump taking a photo in front of a nearby church. Many blamed Trump for the violent clashes.
Inspector General Greenblatt also found that police were "inconsistent with the guidance" when they violently removed protestors. But, he did not deny their authority to remove the protestors in the first place.
At the time, then presidential candidate Joe Biden railed against Trump. Biden ran with the reports that have since been proven false to tweet: "He's using the American military against the American people. He tear-gassed peaceful protesters and fired rubber bullets. For a photo."
He's using the American military against the American people.
He tear-gassed peaceful protesters and fired rubber bullets.

The mystery of Ray Epps continues to grow. Multiple videos of Epps have surfaced showing him repeatedly demanding pro-Trump rioters should enter the U.S. Capitol on January 6. Epps' involvement has led many to speculate that he was an FBI plant who incited the January 6th insurrection. One video of Epps shows Trump supporters shouting "no" to his suggestion of entering the Capitol and even begin to shout that he is a "fed."
I just played this video for AG Merrick Garland. He refused to comment on how many agents or assets of the federal government were present in the crowd on Jan 5th and 6th and how many entered the Capitol. pic.twitter.com/lvd9n4mMHK

Texas Representative Ronny Jackson tweeted Thursday, "Who's Ray Epps? Why did he mysteriously disappear from the FBI wanted list? Why can't we see what he said to the Cheney/Pelosi Witch Hunt committee? Was the FBI involved in any way in planning 1/6? Why won't they answer ANY of these questions? Something is NOT right here!"

A lot of questions need to be answered in deed. Jackson's tweet comes after Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) questioned Jill Sanborn, the executive assistant director of the FBI's national security branch, during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Tuesday.
Cruz got zero answers from Sanborn's testimony, only causing further curiosity about Epps; just as Jackson suggests. The New York Post transcribed some of the testimony, as follows:
"A lot of Americans are concerned that the federal government deliberately encouraged illegal and violent conduct on Jan . 6 ," Cruz (R-Texas) told Jill Sanborn, the executive assistant director of the FBI's national security branch during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing.
"My question to you – – and this is not an ordinary law enforcement question, this is a question of public accountability — did federal agents or those in service of federal agent s actively encourage violent and criminal conduct on Jan. 6 ?" he asked.
Sanborn responded by saying she couldn't disclose "sources and methods."
"Ms. Sanborn, was Ray Epps a fed?" asked Cruz after stating that Epps was captured on video the night of Jan. 5, 2021 rousing people to "get into the Capitol."
"Sir, I cannot answer that question," replied Sanborn, who added that she was "aware of the individual," but didn't have "specific background" on him.
Cruz went on and stated that on Jan. 6, Epps was seen talking to rioters moments before they ripped down police barricades outside the Capitol.
Sanborn responded that she couldn't answer whether Epps urged them to knock down the barricades.
Cruz then noted that Epps initially appeared on a poster issued by the FBI seeking information about people connected to criminal activity on Jan. 6, but was absent from another FBI "seeking information" poster distributed July 1.
Cruz then notes, "magically, Mr. Epps disappeared from the public posting" and "according to public records, Mr. Epps has not been charged with anything. No one's explained why a person videoed urging people to go to the Capitol, a person whose conduct was so suspect the crowd believed he was a fed, would magically disappear from the list of people the FBI was looking at."
Even more curious, the January 6th Committee investigating the riot has simply said claims that Epps was an informant were "unsupported." In a statement on Twitter, the panel said "Epps informed us that he was not employed by, working with, or acting at the direction of any law enforcement agency on January 5th of 6th or at any time, & that he has never been an informant for the FBI or any other law enforcement agency."
Yet the Committee will not release interview transcripts. Yet the Committee expects the American people to just accept their vague and useless tweet? No way.
John Blischak is the attorney for Epps, and told the Epoch Times that his client is not working with, or for the FBI. But…Blischak himself is a former FBI agent. Something smells fishy.


Over the Christmas holiday we made some sugar cookies. As in,I made some cookies that we enjoyed eating. But Charlie helped with the decorating. After I spread some icing on the cookie I would hand it over to him and he would douse it with sprinkles. Needless to say, it made a big mess and the dog got more than her fair share of sugar for the day.
We weren't able to decorate all the cookies that day, so Chris and I ended up finishing them up one evening after Charlie had gone to bed. There was much less of a mess that day. But I noticed as I put the cookies away into tins that while the cookies I had decorated were neater and conformed more to what is expected of a cookie, they weren't nearly as fun to look at. My evenly sprinkled, traditional looking cookies seemed to be missing some soul. Charlie's cookies had strange and unexpected mixtures of sprinkles. They were un-even and a little quirky. They looked like cookies that someone had had a lot of fun creating.
So this got me to thinking, as I am inclined to do from time to time. I started thinking about how we expect kids to make messes. It's considered a natural part of childhood to be creative and messy and quirky. When I handed Charlie those sprinkles, I wanted him to have fun and enjoy the process of making cookies. I wanted him to get excited about the colors. I wanted him to enjoy shaking the sprinkle jar around. I knew at the end that I could just clean up the mess. It was no big deal. After all, if I tried to keep him from making a mess then he would never get to decorate cookies.
But at some point it's like we decide that messes are no longer acceptable. As an adult I feel like my cookies need to be neat and perfect. I should try to make them look like something out of a magazine or a pinterest board. I get more concerned about the product of my work than the process. How many times have I refrained from trying something new because I knew my result wouldn't be as nice and pretty as I wanted it to be? How many times have I stressed out about making something look just so that I forgot to enjoy what little time I have to be creative? Have I ever tried to make something without the hope or expectation of being able to show it off?
When Charlie sits down with some crayons to color, I never feel the need to keep his artwork. Maybe I'm just not sentimental enough, but I think mainly I don't care to keep it because I know Charlie doesn't care. He doesn't care what the piece of paper looks like when he's done, he's too busy having fun coloring. It the process and the experience that matters to him, not the end product.
Oh, the things we learn from babes. As I move into this new year I want to give myself permission to not be so productive. I want to remember that not everything I do has to have an end product. I want to give myself the freedom to make messes, enjoy the experience, live my life with a little more soul.
You are such a good mom and so insightful with your blog posts! I'm a soppy mess right now. And mess is just fine!

The University of Sunderland is a public research university located in Sunderland in the North East of England. Its predecessor, Sunderland Technical College, was established as a municipal training college in 1901. It gained university status in 1992. It now has campuses in Sunderland, London and Hong Kong,[3] and has about 20,000 students.[4]
St Peter's Campus
Sunderland has been an important centre for education since 674 AD, when Benedict Biscop built St Peter's Church and monastery. St Peter's Church was the site of the greatest scriptorium north of the Alps. The oldest existing Latin version of the Bible – the Codex Amiatinus – was written at St Peter's Church. This area has been developed as the Sir Tom Cowie Campus at St Peter's of the University of Sunderland. The university's £9m state-of-the-art Media Centre, launched in 2004, is near St Peter's Church, Monkwearmouth.
Sunderland Technical College
The original Technical College was topped by an observatory used for navigational studies.
The university's modern roots can be traced back to 1901, when Sunderland Technical College was established as a municipal training college. It was the first to offer sandwich courses. It began with four departments: Chemistry, Mechanical & Civil Engineering, Physics & Electrical Engineering and Commerce & Languages. Part-time lecturers taught other subjects, ranging from Latin to navigation.[5] 671 students enrolled in the first year; it was more than three times the number expected.
The college's longest-serving principal, the physicist VA Mundella was appointed in 1908 and served until his retirement in 1932.
Pharmacy and naval architecture departments were established in 1921 and 1922 respectively. The Pharmacy Department began as a single bench in the Chemistry Department under the leadership of Hope Winch,[6] but soon grew to become the largest in the country.[citation needed] From 1930, some students in the Faculty of Applied Science read for degrees of the University of Durham. In 1930, a Mining Department was established and pharmacy students could read for the Bachelor of Pharmacy degree of the University of London.[7] Sunderland was also recognised by London University as a centre for its BEng (Bachelor of Engineering) degree in 1934.
During the Second World War, Sunderland ran special courses for the armed forces and the Ministry of Labour.
In the 1960s, a PDP-8 hybrid computer was installed at the Chester Road site. There was also an Elliot Brothers 803B digital computer.
A new complex of buildings, including a new Students' union and Hall of Residence facilities, on nearby Chester Road was opened by the Duke of Edinburgh in 1964.
Sunderland Polytechnic
Sunderland Polytechnic was established on 26 January 1969, incorporating the Technical College, the School of Art (which was also established in 1901) and the Sunderland Teacher Training College (established in 1908). Sunderland was among the first of 30 Polytechnics, like polytechnics or technological universities in other countries their aim was to teach both purely academic and professional vocational subjects. Their focus was applied education for work and their roots concentrated on engineering and applied science, they also created departments concerned with the humanities.
As a polytechnic, Sunderland created the first part-time, in-service BEd (Bachelor of Education) programme in the country.
Steve Cram at Freshers Week, 2018
After the passage of the Further and Higher Education Act 1992, the polytechnic gained university status.[8]
Lord Puttnam became the university's first Chancellor in 1998. The Sunderland Empire Theatre was the regular venue for the graduation ceremonies, although they have been hosted at the Stadium of Light since 2004. In July 2007, he stepped down to become the Chancellor of the Open University.[9][10]
On 23 May 2008 the university announced that former Olympic athlete Steve Cram had been appointed as Chancellor and would be officially installed at a ceremony on 27 June 2008.[11] Singer and songwriter, Emeli Sandé was officially installed as the University of Sunderland's new Chancellor on 10 July 2019 during the university's summer Academic Awards.[12]
In 2018, it was announced that Sunderland was to host one of five new medical schools established under a UK government initiative to increase the number of training places for doctors. The medical school opened in September 2019.[13]
On 24 September 2018, Sir David Bell became Vice-Chancellor and Chief Executive of the University of Sunderland.[14]

Being an excellent tool for activism for the promotion of veganism, it can be seen in demonstrations around the world and in various exhibits whose aim is one – the total liberation of all animals.
Among all the products and items that have been made, the artwork of the Dutch artist Maria Tiqwah, who with her great talent created the coat of arms of the vegan flag, is particularly striking.
In a long correspondence about the coat of arms with Maria, I got to know her amazing personality and was exposed to her works, all aimed at a better world for all people and animals.
I would be happy if you could tell a little about yourself.
I am a happy vegan of 35, born in The Netherlands and living in Istanbul (Turkey) with my husband from Iraq and our 4 cats. Good words to describe me might be creative, colourful and a bit odd.
Animals are my number one inspiration. My parents attic lies full of my drawings since I could hold a pencil, and… they are all animals. My mother even told me my first word was 'cat' and my second word was 'fish'. Although I always saw myself as an 'animal lover', when I went vegan in 2011 'animal lover' got a different meaning and I wanted to help the animals. A year later a quit my job and started my own green advertising agency and worked for clients like the Dutch political Party for the Animals, The Vegetarian Butcher, Animal & Rights, and many other animal charities. Besides my advertising work, painting animals has always been a passion. Another source of inspiration is nature and the beautiful old buildings with baroque details here in Istanbul. I live near the Yildiz Park, which once was the garden of the Yildiz Palace. It's my favorite spot to relax and study nature.
What brought you to draw the coat of arms?
What technique have you used for painting the coat of arms?
I used vegan materials: soft pastel, watercolour, black fineliner and white gel pen on paper. I love soft pastel because of the bright colours. Watercolour is great for sharp details like the hairs. I used the black fineliner for the text and the white gel pen for white details like the lights in the eyes.
Do you think art for animals can be a form of activism?
Yes, absolutely! For example in Turkey pigs are generally seen as 'dirty'. But when my art teacher showed my piglet painting, the whole class was smiling and said 'awww, so cute!' Images can change minds. With my animal paintings, I want to let people look at animals through my eyes. I want to show them as unique personalities who can feel emotions, pain, and pleasure just like us. I would love to encourage all vegans who enjoy making any kind of art, to express their feelings and views about animals through their work. Here are some interesting links: Aisha Ponders about art as vegan activism, making art for vegan charities, and vegan art from around the world.
Where can we find more of your works?
and in my webshop (worldwide shipping).
I am still working on my artist website and will take commissions.

California bans private gatherings as US braces for coronavirus surge
New York orders hospitals to increase capacity and considers reimposed ban on indoor dining

California compelled much of the state to close shop on Monday and New York ordered hospitals to increase bed capacity by 25 per cent, as the United States braced for yet another coronavirus surge during the upcoming holidays.
California governor Gavin Newsom's order came into effect one day after the state set a record with more than 30,000 new Covid-19 cases, triggered in areas of southern California where fewer than 15 per cent of intensive care hospital beds remain available.
In addition, five counties in northern California surrounding the San Francisco Bay Area have voluntarily imposed the restrictions n before reaching the intensive care unit threshold. Combined, the areas cover about three-quarters of the state's nearly 40 million people.
Dr Celine Gounder, a member of US president-elect Joe Biden's coronavirus advisory board, said California had little choice. "Given how out of control the virus is at this point, we are having to dial up some of those restrictions again," she told CBS News. "Ideally, we should be more proactive than this."
In reporting more than 30,000 new cases on Sunday, the state exceeded its previous high of 21,986 set on December 4th, and recorded a new high for hospitalised Covid-19 patients as well.
Nationwide, Covid-19 infections in US are at their peak with an average of 193,863 new cases reported each day over the past week, according to a Reuters tally of official data. There have been 14.7 million confirmed infections and 282,253 coronavirus-related deaths reported in the country since the pandemic began, the most in the world.

California has been under a stay-at-home order for all but essential services since March. The new order, which will last at least three weeks, bans private gatherings of any size, shuts all but critical infrastructure and retail operations, and requires everyone to wear a mask and maintain physical distancing.
But the sheriffs of Los Angeles, Orange and Riverside counties have said they will refuse to enforce the order.
Riverside County sheriff Chad Bianco said in a videotaped message that his office "will not be blackmailed" into enforcing the governor's orders, and Orange County sheriff Don Barnes said in a statement his deputies would not respond to calls to enforce violations of the mask mandate, stay-at-home orders or the ban on social gatherings.
Fauci warning
To avoid a critical shortage of hospital beds, New York state health officials will order hospitals to increase their capacity by 25 per cent and ask retired doctors and nurses to come back to work, governor Andrew Cuomo said on Monday.
If the hospitalisation rate fails to stabilise over the next five days, indoor dining in New York City will be halted, Mr Cuomo said.
Dr Anthony Fauci, tapped by Mr Biden to be his chief medical adviser on the coronavirus, warned the nationwide surge could get worse after the year-end holiday season. After millions ignored expert advice and travelled for the Thanksgiving holiday in November, Dr Fauci anticipated Americans would once again behave recklessly during Christmas and New Year's Eve festivities.
Spikes in the death toll typically appear about three weeks after surges in infections and hospitalisations. "Mid-January is probably going to be a bad time," said Dr Fauci, appearing with Mr Cuomo in his video news conference.
Mr Biden, a Democrat, has said he will make the pandemic his top priority upon taking over for departing president Donald Trump, a Republican, on January 20th.
Anticipating US Food and Drug Administration emergency authorisation of the first vaccine within the coming days, the White House will host a vaccine distribution summit on Tuesday with governors, retail pharmacy chains and shipping companies, health secretary Alex Azar told Fox News.
The aim of the meeting was "to be very transparent and show the world how comprehensively we have planned out every aspect of this distribution," Mr Azar said. – Reuters

My name is Ulrike, I am a CIS white woman and likely a quite imperfect feminist according to the books. I am also one of the founders of Feminista and with that, I have come under scrutiny not only in the public eye but also with my own consciousness.
The question is: What qualifies my partners and me to launch a feminist fragrance? Possibly nothing, other than, that we thought it was a right thing to do at the time.
The truth is, Feminista developed a life of its own right after birth and the people we met along the way over the past year defined its path, and we truly hope, you will be next to help define, what Feminista will become.
The crucial milestone to developing Feminista was Geza Schön, who when approached about collaborating on a perfume for a film by feminist filmmaker Margarethe von Trotta said: I love the idea of paying tribute to intersectional feminism with a scent. And when asked why he answered: I personally would never date a woman who is not a feminist, as a matter of fact, I wouldn't have anyone as a friend who is not a feminist. In today's culture, with parts of humanity either involved in selfishness, expressed in selfie-culture, reality TV, and the pseudo influencer stardom as well as intolerance, fear, and hate, feminism is a character trait distinguishing those with confidence and ethics to do right for themselves and others.
With Geza, we all of a sudden had a product at hand, that was really serious and so the adventure had begun.
Siding ourselves with Munroe Bergdorf: If your feminism isn't intersectional, you are only in it for yourself. That was the one thing we all believed in from the start. Whilst Feminista must pay tribute, to all those who have fought hard for equality over the years , we did not want to put on the western view alone and we sure as hell did not want to exclude POC, handicapped, non-binary, transsexual people while simultaneously being an open invitation to all men suffocating on old stereotypes.
And with that, we opened a can load of worms, becoming the most unpopular kid in town as it seemed.
But we were not in it for popularity, in contrast to common belief, Feminista was founded to make a difference and do it right. If we wanted to bring a perfume to market to get rich overnight we would have probably licensed WonderWoman instead of being inspired by a Margarethe von Trotta movie and her wonderful personality.
Finding new projects that also reflect a wide spectrum of diversity and breaking old stereotypes.
After I launched Feminista's Instagram early in the process. I had one of the most emotional weekends of my life. I was approached by several transsexual kids, asking if they were invited to the party. When I disclosed that I was not a "private person" but we were a company trying to launch a perfume, they really liked the fact that they were not just included, but more than welcome. They started to open up telling me stories that were so heartbreaking that I couldn't sleep for a very long time. – Since we are actively looking for a project to support transgender youth. But again the trolls came out. I am a CIS white woman running a company together with two men, so we have no right to fight for transgender awareness, they said.
Be my judge. There is only one thing I can tell you from the bottom of our hearts. Feminism and all the topics we hope to address and the awareness we want to build is much less popular than one might think. We are ready to go to hell and back, fight the trolls and stand back up again and yes we know our fight is not even close to the hardship of many people standing on the front line. But at the same time, we believe that silent approval is almost as bad as complicity and we do not want to be silent.
So if you have a project that needs funding that could fit the bill, please get in touch at https://feminista.world. We'd love to get to know you, even if its only for a cup of coffee, or two.


The United States is deeply concerned Mr. President about the loss of Palestinian and Israeli life in recent weeks and the tragic suffering of Palestinian civilians, who require urgent humanitarian and reconstruction assistance. Violations of international humanitarian law have been perpetrated by Hamas through its rocket attacks against Israeli civilians in southern Israel and the use of civilian facilities to provide protection for its terrorist attacks. There have also been numerous allegations made against Israel some of which are deliberately designed to inflame. We expect Israel will meet its international obligations to investigate and we also call upon all members of the international community to refrain from politicizing these important issues.
Notably, these allegations are being advanced by independent media groups like the BBC. Rice is clearly correct that Hamas routinely used human shields and has been using unguided rockets to terrorize Israel. However, there are clearly legitimate questions raised over how Israel responded. I am very sympathetic to the need for a response but obviously these allegations must be investigated and prosecuted.
Of course, unlike the "allegations" against Israel, the Bush torture program has been confirmed by Bush officials. Yet, President Obama and Eric Holder continue to withhold their commitment to investigation and prosecute any war crimes committed by our own country.
Was I the only one that took notice that in the picture taken of the only living presidents that Obama had positioned himself between Bush Sr. and Bush Jr. It was and is a clear sign that he is a Bush man. He knows that he had better be or he could windup like John and Robert Kennedy and like the over 3000 dead on 9-11. You don't mess with the Bush family. Will Bush ever be charged with any crime? No. He is to well protected. We better be glad he did not go ahead and become the first dictator of the United States has he had every thing set up to where he could have very easily and things are still set up for anyone who is in the office of the president to do so. So it is no great wonder that Obama does not want to chance things that Bush did to much and we, the American people, sleep on.
Further proof the worm has turned for the Neocons.
Lincoln DID suspend habeas corpus. On April 27 , 1861. He also abused that suspension to jail journalists he didn't like.
You're clearly not a historian either.
You ever wonder why you get so trashed? Look at the quality of your work. That says it all.

ISLAM: AN ENDLESS MARCH OF PROGRESS AND EXPANDING MODERNITY
(This is the first report on the interview conducted with Sheikh Abdurrahman on May 2nd, 2021. For its entire recording, see https://fb.watch/5eN6-jkkUu/)
I did not intend for this to be my first report on the interview with Sheikh Abdurrahman Ahmad. It did not even occur to me. However, three incidents prompted this. The first was when I announced that Ms. Kaosarat Aina, a graduate of the University of Ibadan, would be on the cast. Within 24 hours, I received over 40 email messages, with 29 saying they would want to be like her, with a First-Class degree, the best result in the Faculty, and multiple admissions to Ph.D. programs. Wonderful! I was excited. Then came six who wrote that a Muslim could not have such a stellar result and that her resume was exaggerated. One even said her success was due to attending a Christian school! I was disturbed, but I calmly responded that all the information about Ms. Aina is true, very true, and even understated.
After this came the second incident, critiquing a cast of interviewers as exceptional—one a pharmacist, a second a teacher, and a third the Vice-Chancellor of Fountain University. "They did not represent Islam," someone sent me a text. I was shocked! Muslims are highly educated, far more literate than most others if Arabic and Ajami are treated as an index. And the third incident followed swiftly. Sheikh Ahmad was regarded with exemplary qualities: "He does not use violent words as Muslims do," someone said. Am I in a dream? Praises of exceptionalism arrived in scores: he is sophisticated, knowledgeable, cosmopolitan, and the likes. These are values, as another person said, not associated with Islam. "Muslims," he sent in a WhatsApp message, "abuse others, are never calm, and use violent words." Social media has become the ground to insult anyone you dislike, to abuse people older than your mother, to heap lies on others. You can even call your officemate a thief on social media and get away with it.
These stereotypes portray Muslims as anti-modern. I was alarmed! I chose not to defend the Sheikh and the cast that interviewed him but to talk about the context, the long intellectual journey that has framed Islam as anti-modern. In the Nigerian discourse of the Civil War in the 1960s and the ongoing ethnic tensions, the core narrative is that Muslims are setting the country back. This context has become necessary.
Ms. Kaosarat Aina, the brilliant Muslim student, is not preternatural. There are many more Kaosarats in Nigeria and elsewhere. Professor Amidu Sanni, the Vice-Chancellor, is not new in the history of Islam. There have been those before him, and others will follow. Sheikh Ahmad should not be framed in the demeaning context of exceptionalism, as if he is the only intelligent Imam in Nigeria. They all represent the face of Islam and its modernity.
Who framed Islam as anti-modernist? In what follows, I will use this interview opportunity with Sheikh Ahmad to open up a controversy. We need it!
Sheikh Ahmad and Remi Adeseun
From the very end of the 17th century to the beginning of the following century, the Islamic world, represented especially by the Ottoman Empire, considered itself equal in civilizational and philosophical capacity with the European world. The comparison was necessary partly because these two civilizations were in a heated competition to control the world in every conceivable way, one of which was their determination for imperialist expansion, using whatever could give them an edge above the other. While the Europeans built a civilization around their cultural and religious identity, the Islamic world also used its religious principles as its foundation.
However, something happened that instantly transformed the European civilization, apparently beyond their Islamic counterpart, and that was their groundbreaking milestones in the technological front. By the 18th century, Europe was defined by a new accomplishment in the technological revolution, which stressed the values they placed on science, human reasoning, and creative ingenuity. By the time they gave this the right framework, the European countries had entered an Industrial Revolution that marked another historical epoch in their collective development. With the provision of intellectual contributions in scientific inquiry, the hitherto blurry lines of difference between Europe and the Islamic world have been widened, far beyond what they even could immediately challenge.
The differences between the two great civilizations have been a subject of unending debates. Here is a take anchored to a Western-derived ontology. As the analysis goes, Islam had experienced a relatively slower rise to prominence, predominantly because of the primordial Islamic culture and perception of scientific thinking. The crucible of Islamic culture had been founded on the assumption that critical thinking or scientific breakthrough could not be humanly encouraged, perhaps because the process of scientific thinking required the deconstruction of different cultural myths around which Islam built its civilization. With this reality, updating Islam with the modernity of the current period was philosophically difficult, as the argument goes, for it was naturally impossible to climb the step against which one had been psychologically programmed. And as the Western-derived narrative concludes, Islam suffered abandonment, slow developmental pace, and acute deterioration because of this rigidity of a system they practiced in Islam. On the other side, Europe made unprecedented progress that defined its magnificent transformation as the world progressed.
Ms. Kaosarat Aina
Interestingly, coming with technological revolution are some attendant economic benefits because, with improved technology occasioned by science knowledge, products naturally increased, promoting economic success or revolution. Triumphalism became injected into a non-neutral storyline: Europe became the hub for scientific breakthroughs, while Islam continued with its traditional development routine. Europe expanded in the political system and economic boundaries when Islam struggled to convince people other than force. This narrative was to spur not just intellectual disagreements but concrete conflicts and wars. We still live with the consequences.
To counter the narratives, or to respond to them, or to pressure Islam to change, "progressives" had emerged for hundreds of years presenting alternative ideas while "traditionalists" continue to insist on justifications. Whether stated or not, an ideological template has been created: as humans progressed, especially with the aid of scientific discoveries, they realized that a world that is adamant about the intimidating impact of the torrential change would eventually be helplessly frustrated. Islamists factored in the contributions of science to make partial but notable changes in their political stand to become the demands of the time and prevent their religion from becoming a history prematurely. However, changing the religion's philosophy means that very many injunctions in Islam would witness radical modifications. It would be revolutionized away from the traditional and "primitive" setting, as if Christianity is different, to accommodate the observed changes. This includes the paradigmatic shift from the rote learning of the Quran, its routinized memorization, which has forever been the traditional method, to the construction of a curriculum that will be skill-centered or an educational system where nearly all the courses offered in the European schools are adapted and taught, although in the Islamic way.
In whatever way possible, what is to be observed in the paradigm shift from this thinking of the Muslims of the period has ineluctably revolutionized the Islamic culture, including the religion. Starting from Egypt, for example, the administrative head incorporated scientific discoveries to reshape the country. In no time, Egypt became a center of attraction to people worldwide through the investment in scientific inquiry. It was this thinking that birthed modern industrialization and infrastructural revolutions resident in Dubai, for example. This means that the Islamic culture and world have opened their arms to the wonders of technology, which has changed the world's perception of Islam and the expanding modernity.
Islamic education, which was hitherto centered on the memorization of the Quran, Islamic legal studies (predominantly founded on Shari'a), hadith (the sayings and teachings of the Prophet of Islam, Mohammad), devotional poetry and theology, inculcated some of the knowledge systems of Europeans only to be updated to suit the agenda of the Islamic world. In the African world, the signs of modernization were too notable for discarding. For example, in the academic community, the Europeans' exclusive organization strategy led to the educational structures that redefined learning. Before the coming of the two civilizations, European and Arabic, the form of education available was non-formal. Whereas this was not changed by the Arabs even after they came to establish their educational system in different African countries, what they did was act on the (non-formal) system available and spread Islamic education and cultures. But this was immediately restructured at the emergence of Europeans on the continent. The first notable improvement was the organization of a formal education system where individuals can get an education, then become qualified in a particular field after spending a considerable amount of time with demonstrated competence in the school. In what is general among Islamic educational institutions today, Islam seemed to have incorporated the system.
How about certification? Islamic education in Africa has not always been defined by a marked system or methods of knowing an individual's educational status. Once an individual is entrusted to the custody of an Islamic scholar, graduation depends on the instructor's satisfaction, which in most cases is defined by different circumstances. An instructor could deny a student his/her graduation because there is no actual replacement of the student who would fulfill all the social and domestic responsibilities satisfied by the graduation-bound students. This also weakens the Islamic educational system, especially in Africa. Western education, however, is defined by a different system of engagement. A student has a stipulated time of educational experience, and the age usually determines the grade in which he/she would be enrolled. Upon completing their educational pursuit, the students are certified as graduates after passing an examination arranged by the school authority. With this development, Islam found itself in a keenly competitive environment where it must update its system or run out of relevance. Gradually and steadily, the education planners of Islam designed a curriculum system that would incorporate these developments to compete with others. In this way, the Western construction of their education system gave room for specialization in particular subjects instead of a mixture of knowledge systems seen in the Islamic educational culture. The planners must also correct this, which they did; otherwise, they would experience radical avoidance from a certain population segment.
From all these gradual modifications, Islamic culture made spaces for modernization by building universities in the 20th century and increasing the integration of ideas with a Western beginning. In the process, it restricts Islamic culture and traditions to family spaces where its influence would be ascertained. Yet, it would not affect the political calculations and economic plans for advancement. Although the Ottoman Empire had demonstrated its capacity to incorporate Western ideas for hybridization in the preceding century, it was not until the 20th century that the changes became more visible. At the educational front, the scientific revolution was important for the transformation of Islam, and they updated to accommodate the changes. On the legal front, too, Shari'a law was confined to families for domestic relevance. Islam, which had been a fervent critic of dramatic productions, began to invest more into it. Newspapers and similar engagements associated with print culture began to secure a place among many Islamic worlds, which immediately brought about their economic transformation. Since they are making these ideological concessions, they needed to gravitate more towards the European cultures that align with Islamic politics. All the new social ideologies identified with the Europeans were fast receiving evaluation among the Muslim communities, which was done differently in several Muslim countries.
There was immediate legal pronouncement against polygamy in India, while in some countries like Azerbaijan, there was the instant enfranchisement of the womenfolk in the second decade of the 20th century. This is directly related to the granting of freedom for female driving in Saudi Arabia, just in 2017. It, therefore, means that the Islamic world cannot but bow to the pressure of modernization, which is sweeping the world in amazing ways. Girl-child education became central in the yearnings of many people in the Islamic world. The reason for all these developments is rooted in the understanding that any civilization that needlessly refuses to update its perception about some general issues that especially border on human freedom can be shut out or ostracized from the other world. Apart from this, many Islamic countries have massive economic profits when they place their hands on these various development programs. For example, Dubai, a Muslim country, became a center for tourism and one of the most preferred destinations for business activities in the contemporary world because they shifted away from being religiously conservative. The benefits available to people on the occasion that they give modernization a proper place in their political system are enough to compel them to change their older mindsets.
The reformation of Islamic ideas and cultures did not come without corresponding challenges, especially from those who considered their religion too absolute to be modified. Criticisms were emerging from every quarter. After observing some Islamists who have witnessed the transformative capacity of science and technology in the European world, they created a society whose duty was the reinvigoration of the religion through its reformation. They believe that the Quran and the religion are not immune to various interpretations, contrary to all the assumptions of its critics. They argue that scientific revolution is not incompatible with the religion's ideological convictions. Islam is permissive of such development as long as it would aid the circulation of the religion to more people. Considering that with the help of the internet, access to people and civilizations is increased, the people have no reason to continuously reject scientific innovation when they understand that it could promote their ideas and philosophies. Also, with the internet, social groups create where individuals of the same ideological convictions meet and exchange ideas is possible. Therefore, it lacks evaluative prowess if the people refuse to integrate modern technology into their religious identity. Quite all the Islamic countries today have an imposing online presence, which is used to coordinate many of their political and economic activities.
Professor Amidu Sanni
Before World War I, several Muslim countries had found common ground with European models of modernization, even when some of them disagreed with their core values. In Pakistan, some Muslim leaders accepted the proposition to modernize the Islamic culture by hybridizing their ideas with the Europeans. These individuals took the forefront of the struggle and established European-induced systems of advancement. A similar development has also spread to Turkey in almost the same period. There have been inclinations to emulate those activities of modernization found in Europe, and the best way to attract this was to engage their systems and adapt their technological inventions. Turkey began from the reconstruction of its educational system by redesigning its curriculum and changing its outlook. Turkey, a Muslim country, had before depended on the Arabic language and systems as the foundation for its educational structures and programs, but this would only last for a while. At the discovery that their counterparts in Europe are doing comparatively better than them, their decision to change and reinvigorate their general knowledge systems started from modifying their educational system so that the school would be the ground for the creation of technological wonders as done in other climes. Some would argue that they carefully distanced themselves from the Arabic language by employing Latin as the language for transcribing their Turkish scripts.
In West Africa, most countries where Islamic culture remains popular inevitably accept the diplomatic quest to modify the religion's position to everyday activities. In Nigeria, for example, especially among the Hausa people, the translation of the Hausa language became common because of the forces of modernization. Since the countries where Islamic culture was firmly established were also modifying their stand, especially with relation to establishing an Islamic world that is equally inclined technologically, they were influenced to consider their ground. This trend continued right into the 21st century, and the activities of the Islamic countries revealed that they had opened their arms to modern dictates. It seems Turkey continues to occupy the forefront of this struggle. As recently as 2008, the Department of Religious Affairs embarked on a mission that sparked controversy, especially in the conservative Islamic nations. They made a conscious move to reinterpret the Hadith, that is, all the words and deeds of the Prophet Mohammad, which had before then been the basis for constructing their legal system. Although the move was criticized by many, the Turkish government, however, states that some cultural traditions of the Prophet Muhammad era are not always in tandem with the reality of the current global climate and must be modified to accommodate the change happening around the world. Their dissociation from the old system does not mean abandonment; it was seen principally as a reformation of the system.
From the happenings in Nigeria, one can see that the adopted method for adapting the European educational model was the creation of a learning method that was principally inspired by Western pedagogy. Schools were created, and their curriculum showcased that they have expanded their educational coverage and become more secular in approach. This is why there are hybrid Islamic schools, especially in these environments where the Islamic culture was dominant. These schools now shift from the epistemological framework of Islam, which emphasizes only the knowledge of Islam, to accommodate a more secular approach of European education to knowledge, which talks about the knowledge systems that are unrelated to religion. The creation of mathematics, history, geography, physics, chemistry, accounting, and many other disciplines comes from the understanding that human knowledge systems are independent of religious beliefs. They are mostly called Islamiyah schools in Nigeria, for example, and are addressed by different names in some other places. These schools offer courses that incorporate Western educational structures and epistemology to their own. Universities are created to prove this adaptation. Al-Hikmah University in Nigeria, Usmanu Danfodiyo Fodio University, Fountain University, Jamia Ahmadiyya, and others are the modern-day universities.
Fountain University, headed by Professor Sanni, has made numerous additions to education by redefining its academic engagements and epistemological framework. It has shown the capacity of the Islamic religion to open arms to the forces of modernization. Their intention to advance religiously and move forward in their technological ambitions can both be achieved simultaneously. Being a school that was formed based on expanding the religious solidarity and coverage of Islam, it has not failed to raise morally upright individuals who continue to break boundaries in the knowledge of Islam. However, it is the fact that making the epistemological framework to be both secular and religious has helped the university create courses like accounting, adult education, biochemistry, chemistry, economics, computer science, history, physics, and language courses like Yoruba. The integration of these courses has mandated the University to improve its curriculum design and meet the modern discoveries brought to the classroom setting. By creating a philosophy course, for example, the school has shown its ability to accommodate new thinking, even if it would challenge traditional views about the same topics. This development is influencing the magical turnaround of events in the Islamic culture and religion.
The reality of the contemporary world reiterates that the acquisition of theoretical information in school cannot guarantee one's socio-economic liberation. This was one of the bases for improving the Western epistemological framework that led to discovering science and technology as a viable alternative for self-dependence. All these are carefully considered by Islamic-oriented educational establishments, especially those considering accommodating the Western type of education. It motivated them to create academic fields that are in tune with the happenings of the world. As seen in the available courses at Fountain University, for example, there is the conscious decision to take students through courses that could enhance independence and economic sustainability in the contemporary world. Education that is centered only on religious inclination cannot ensure this. These are the underlying reasons for the pursuance of an agenda where the students in these Islamic educational systems or settings are permanently attuned to the dictates of modernity, science, and technology and continue the path of endlessly renewing the world through the lessons of Islam.

Q: Porting Github on Back4App How do I install my copy of PeerJS in my own Github account onto my Back4App backend?
What files need to go where?
On the Dashboard of my Back4App app, I have the 'Cloud Code' tab open. If shows 'Cloud' and 'Public' in the files section. I can add new files to each.
I do not think I have anything in the 'Public' section, as I will just be communicating with this app via another web host provider.
But what files of the PeerJS Github need to go to the 'Cloud' section?
Is there a faster way to do this, rather than copy each file separately?

Eleanor of Aquitaine is drawn from Chapter Three, beginning on page 72, of Volume Seven, A Glorious Disaster of the twelve-volume historical series The Christians: Their First Two Thousand Years. If you would like to order this book please visit www.TheChristians.info.
This still from Anthony Harvey's 1968 movie The Lion in Winter features Katharine Hepburn as the aging Eleanor of Aquitaine and Peter O'Toole as the old lion Henry II. In the film, as in history, it was the case of a couple who could live neither together nor apart.
In her time Eleanor of Aquitaine was called many things. To her youngest son, England's King John, she was "an unhappy and shameless woman." To Gervase, the monk-recorder of Canterbury, she was "an exceedingly shrewd and clever woman . . . but unstable and flighty." To late-twentieth-century feminists she was a valiant "gender warrior." Beyond all argument, however, she was the wife of two kings and the mother of two, and certainly one of the most influential women in medieval Europe.
Born in 1122 and raised in Aquitaine's hedonistic ducal palace at Poitiers, Eleanor was a pampered, headstrong, learned, and very beautiful auburn-haired girl. When her father, Duke William X, died young with no male heir, he left the duchies of Aquitaine and Gascony and the county of Poitou to the fifteen-year-old Eleanor, with France's King Louis VI as her guardian. Louis, by a marital treaty, wed her to his son, the future Louis VII, in order to secure her vast territory, stretching from the Loire to the Pyrenees, for the French crown. Neither the treaty nor the marriage worked. The marriage lasted fifteen years and produced only daughters. The melancholy Louis rarely visited her bed. But many others did, including, by one account, her forty-seven-year-old uncle Raymond, prince of Antioch, with whom the royal couple stayed during the ill-fated Second Crusade (see accompanying chapter).
Eleanor's role in the crusade is noteworthy. One chronicle records that she arrived in Outremer with a troop of female crusaders in an Amazonian couture of white tunics slit up the side to reveal knee-high red leather boots turned with an orange lining. Eleanor, as the leader, had a royal crest on her arm and a plume in her hat. The spectacle, observes the chronicler, much distracted the troops.
At one point when the ladies insisted that the crusaders camp in a charming green valley surrounded by treed hills, a Muslim army descended on Louis' forces. The French fought them off but lost seven thousand men. By then the conviction was growing among the troops that Eleanor's presence had doomed the Second Crusade. An enraged Louis had Eleanor confined to her quarters. He then brought her against her will back to France. Their marriage survived two more years but then was annulled.
She now contrived to marry the youthful, lustful, brazen, redheaded Henry of Anjou, aged nineteen, who would become Henry II, one of England's greatest ever monarchs, and establish the Plantagenet line of English kings. Eleanor was about thirty (her birth date is uncertain), and over the next thirteen years she produced for Henry five sons and three daughters. Two sons, Richard and John, would become kings of England.
But her marriage to Henry was to prove even more tumultuous than her first had been. While Henry consolidated his hold on England and much of France, masterminded the institution of English common law, and developed an effective bureaucracy to unite the country, he also developed liaisons with an assortment of tarts and mistresses, eventually driving an infuriated Eleanor back to Aquitaine. There she provided a charter to an abbey for nuns at Fontevrault, fashioned her Poitiers court into a center for troubadours and the celebration of courtly love, raised and schooled her favorite son, Richard, and plotted against Henry with all her sons to divorce Aquitaine from the English crown.
Learning of this betrayal, Henry confined Eleanor in various English castles for sixteen years. Yet their marriage, while certainly beset by argument, quarrels, and even war, was not altogether unhappy. Eleanor herself described it as much happier than her union with Louis. The couple often spent Christmas together, providing a plot for the delightful 1968 film The Lion in Winter, winner of three Academy Awards, with Katharine Hepburn playing Eleanor and Peter O'Toole Henry. It portrays that species of dysfunctional marriage where the couple cannot live together and cannot live apart either.
Henry died in 1189 at age fifty-six. Eleanor would outlive him by fifteen years. She threw herself into the production of a splendid coronation for Richard at Westminster, and she remained a behind-the-scenes instigator and fixer for her son. She arranged his strategic marriage to Berengaria of Navarre, she kept an eye on England while he was crusading, she arranged for the lavish ransom paid to free Richard from imprisonment in Austria, and she organized his funeral after he was killed by an arrow in a skirmish in France in 1199.
On April 1, 1204, as her husband's once vast territory was being lost to Philip of France by John, Eleanor, observes a monastic chronicler, "passed from the world as a candle in the sconce goeth out when the wind striketh it." She was eighty-two. Her body was interred in the crypt at the abbey at Fontevrault in a fine tomb between those of Henry II and Richard I, her second royal mate and her first royal son.
