Inauguration of memorial for Muslims died for France
By: Anjum Kermani
VERDUN, France: President of France
Jacques Chirac inaugurated a memorial to the 28,000 Muslims
who died during the First World War blood-soaked battle of
Verdun.
Marking the 90th anniversary of the battle, Chirac hailed the
force that held the line against Germany for 300 days in
clashes that left some 300,000 dead.
The commemoration has came at a time of turbulence in France’s
relations with its multi-ethnic minorities and a senior Muslim
leader said that he hoped the belated recognition of his
community’s war dead would help ease the tensions.

"Knowledge is
better than wealth because it protects you while you have to
guard wealth. it decreases if you keep on spending it but the
more you make use of knowledge ,the more it increases . what you
get through wealth disappears as soon as wealth disappears but
what you achieve through knowledge will remain even after you."MORE
