They try to portray themselves as religious leaders, holy warriors in defence of Islam.“That’s why ISIL presumes to declare itself the Islamic State and they propagate the notion that America, and the West generally, are at war with Islam. That’s how they recruit. That’s how they try to radicalise young people,” he said. Mr. Obama said those outside Muslim communities need to reject the terrorist narrative that the West and Islam are in conflict or modern life and Islam are in conflict.“We must never accept the premise that they put forward, because it is a lie, nor should we grant these terrorists the religious legitimacy that they seek. They are not religious leaders, they’re terrorists,” he said on the second day of the three-day conference, which is being attended by leaders from more than 60 countries including India. “I also believe that Muslim communities have a responsibility as well. ISIL and al-Qaeda do draw selectively from the Islamic texts,” he said. “They do depend upon the misperception around the world that they speak in some fashion for people of the Muslim faith, that Islam is somehow inherently violent, that there is some sort of clash of civilisations,” he said, adding that the terrorists do not speak for a billion Muslims who reject their ideology. Mr. Obama said there is need to speak up against violent extremism. |

The controversy around Nestle's Maggi noodles has caused panic throughout the nation and it doesn't look like it will die down any time soon.
After the initial test results by Uttar Pradesh Department of Food and Drug Administration (FDA) showed harmful levels of monosodium glutamate (MSG) and lead in Maggi, various states across India and even Bangladesh conducted tests on Maggi to find out whether the food product is safe or not.
The controversy around Maggi has led to tests being conducted across the country.
The entire controversy began when the UP FDA last month asked Nestle India to withdraw a batch of Maggi noodles "which were manufactured in February 2014" after it found high levels of added MSG, a taste enhancer, in the noodles and lead beyond permissible limits.
