Swiss Referendum on Mosque Minarets
The referendum banning the construction of mosque minaret in Switzerland is another indication that Islamophobia is eroding the liberal secular image of Europe.
According to The Associated Press the referendum backed by nationalist parties was approved by 57.5 % of population.
Prior to the referendum, on television and in the news papers Swiss flag was shown superimposed with images of minarets as missiles and a woman covered in black from head to toe.
The supporters of ban claim that number of Muslims has sharply grown in Switzerland since 1980, but in reality they only constitute 4 percent of the 7.5 million Swiss. The majority of Muslim immigrants in Switzerland are from Bosnia and Turkey.
The Justice Minister Eveline Widmer-Schlumpf and other legal experts have raised the questions whether ban on the minarets is compatible with the Swiss constitution and international human right code.
The Swedish foreign minister, Carl Bildt, whose country holds the rotating E.U. presidency, described the vote as “an expression of quite a bit of prejudice and maybe even fear.”
Asma Jahangir the United Nation’s special investigator on religious freedom considers “the ban a clear discrimination against member of Muslim community in Switzerland”.
Similar sentiments are expressed by Daniel Warner the Swiss American political scientist at the Graduate Institute in Geneva “Switzerland’s self image of tolerance and multiculturalism has taken a huge hit”
This may be beginning of a new crusade?

ALIGARH November 27: The agitating students of Aligarh Muslim University yesterday called off their Dharna at Jantar Mantar, New Delhi and decided to withdraw their month long agitation. They were protesting over the murder of a student, Shanawaz Alam on October 25, 2009.
The agitating students said in a press release that they have full confidence in the Vice Chancellor and hoped that the Vice Chancellor will protect their interest and would not let their career suffer adversely. The students appreciated the persuasive role of Prof. Ziauddin Khairoowala, Dean Faculty of Commerce who was engaged as the chief negotiator instilling confidence in the students.

What Is The Cause Of Bleeding Gums And Bad Breath ? What Is The Treatment ?
Bleeding gums and bad breath are common complaints of most of my patients. I thought to write about the causes and treatment for my readers.
The Bacterial Colonies
The oral cavity or the mouth harbours 200 - 300 different types of bacterial species. In the absence of brushing these bacterial species grow to form a layer on the tooth known as dental plaque. Various metabolic products released from these bacteria are the major cause of bad breath. These metabolites affect the teeth, gums and deeper supporting tissues as well. In response to these toxin the margins of the gums adjacent to the tooth start getting inflamed and red which is the starting point of bleeding gums. This is known as Gingivitis.
The Calculus Formation
As time passes the minerals of the saliva get deposited in the plaque which hardens gradually leading to calculus formation. Calculus is the hard yellow to brown deposit on the tooth surface especially seen at the junction of the tooth and gums, which cannot be removed by brushing alone. After the formation of calculus a viscous cycle starts where calculus leads to more plaque formation and more plaque in turn gives rise to more calculus.
Gingivitis to Periodontitis
If the bacterial plaque and calculus cycle continues, the attachment of the gums to the tooth gets destroyed leading to Periodontitis. Still further destruction leads to exposed roots, mobile teeth and pocket formation. This is a very slow process and takes years to reveal its signs and symptoms so the patients almost never complain of pain even if the tooth or teeth become too mobile to be restored back to its original health.
How To Prevent And Treat It ?
Routine brushing disrupts and washes away the layer of plaque. This is the best method to stop the initiation and progression of gingivitis and periodontitis. Brushing of a child should be started as soon as the child gets his full set of teeth i.e. about 24 to 30 months of age. It should be noted however that even when the first tooth erupts in the mouth, about 6 to 7 months of age, cleaning should be performed with a damp cloth, mounted on the finger of the kid's parents.
Adults should brush twice a day, with greater emphasis on the bedtime brushing. If bleeding has started, a dentist prescribed mouthwash can help. If the calculus has been deposited, and bleeding occurs spontaneously, without any stimulation, it is the time for professional oral prophylaxis by a dentist.Specialized hand instruments as well as ultrasonic instruments are used to remove the calculus.
If you have any more questions please feel free to ask.
