Muslims support terrorism, says Google accidentally!

February 16, 2016

Google was auto-correcting searches so that they read "Muslims support terrorism," according to reports.

google In a slip-up that has now been fixed, Google would tell people searching for "Muslims report terrorism" that they might have been looking instead for "Muslims support terrorism."

The problem appears to have appeared automatically, and through no manual input from anyone at Google. It instead seems to be a result of the huge number of people searching for and writing that Muslims support acts of terror.

Google's auto-correcting feature is thought to work by analyzing words that tend to occur around each other, meaning that its computers are able to guess that one word is out of place, and what it might be supposed to read. But it appears to have done that for the terrorism phrase, with "support" being written around the world Muslims and terrorism so much more that the algorithm saw it as an error.

Hind Makki, a blogger who first found the issue, told Quartz that she had found it while looking for a report specifically about the fact that Muslims do report suspicions of terrorism.

She was reporting a piece about "Clinton's point about how American Muslims are 'on the frontline of our defense' and how problematic that framing is," Ms Makki told Quartz. "American Muslims *already* report suspicious activity & suspected terrorism to the authorities (and I wanted to link a particular study on my blog)."

Ms Makki said that the suggestion was "sad," since it shows just how many people believe that Muslims are involved in supporting terrorism.

"I thought it was hilarious, but also sad and immediately screen capped it," Ms Makki told Quartz. "I know it's not Google's 'fault,' but it goes to show just how many people online search for 'Muslims support terrorism,' though the reality on the ground is the opposite of that."

The auto-correct has now been removed. It isn't clear whether that was manually removed by Google, or if the articles posted about it have meant that "Muslims report terrorism" has been written together enough to alter Google's calculations.

Forget UAE banks, B R Shetty owes Rs 19.13 billion to Bank of Baroda too

News Network

May 19,2020

Mumbai, May 19: Even as banks in United Arab Emirates are trying to trace NMC founder BR Shetty, a prominent bank in India is seeking to recover loans worth Rs19.13 billion from him and his companies.

A local court has also barred him and his wife from selling or transferring some properties while it hears the case.

In the court filing, the Bank of Baroda said Shetty had an obligation to handover the title deeds of the 16 properties and mortgage the assets with the bank.

The 16 properties in several Indian cities including Bengaluru were among guarantees put up by Shetty and his wife against the Rs19.13 billion ($253 million) loans, according to a May 16 court order seen by Reuters. The court in Bengalaru set the next hearing in the case for June 8.

NMC, the largest private healthcare provider in the UAE, was placed under administration in April after months of turmoil. It disclosed in March it had debts of $6.6 billion, well above earlier estimates of $2.1 billion.

Finablr, in which Shetty has a controlling stake, said in April it may have nearly $1 billion more in debt than previously reported.

News Network

January 21,2020

Bengaluru, Jan 21: A massive protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), National Register of Citizens (NRC), and National Population Register (NPR) was witnessed at Shivajinagar's Chandni Chowk area on Tuesday.

Scores of people came together carrying national flags and placards to register their protest in the city.

Speaking to ANI, a protester said, "People of all religious community have assembled here in Chandni Chowk to protest against CAA, NRC, and NPR. We the people of India are against this law."

Terming the law as anti-constitutional, he said that we support all the states who oppose the CAA. We demand the revocation of CAA and the government should remove conditions in NPR which lead to NRC.

CAA grants citizenship to Hindu, Sikh, Jain, Parsi, Buddhist and Christian communities fleeing religious persecution from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh and who came to India on or before December 31, 2014.

Unfortunately Hitler brother is our HM who is deaf, dumb and blind. He has shit in his brain. He is unfit to be called as human being. He is thinking that he has no death. I am sure that he will meet a miserable end.
