Fatima al-Fihri (early 9th century CE) was a visionary Muslim woman and educational pioneer who founded the University of al-Qarawiyyin in Fez, Morocco, in 859 CE. This institution is recognized by UNESCO and the Guinness World Records as the oldest continuously operating degree-granting university in the world.
Born into a wealthy and educated family that had migrated from Tunisia, Fatima inherited her father's fortune and chose to invest it in creating a center for religious and academic learning. She personally oversaw the university’s construction, designing it as a space for advanced study in subjects such as theology, law, mathematics, astronomy, and languages.
Her remarkable contribution not only advanced Islamic scholarship but also established a lasting legacy of education and inclusion, with the university eventually open to students of all backgrounds and faiths.

BONDI SUBPOENAED! ⚖️🚨
The House Oversight Committee just served AG Pam Bondi over the Epstein cover-up. 48,000 files were scrubbed to protect Trump, but even Republicans are voting to force her to testify. The redactions didn’t work!

I am frankly more concerned about the apathy of the American public and even more importantly the lack of leadership in the Democratic Party.
This is not a dress rehearsal. Every single American must speak out against this Facist administration.

4 minuutin uutiskatsaus, jonka pitäisi olla joka ilta televisiossa ja muissa uutislähteissä, jotta ymmmärtäisimme mitä on tapahtumassa - olemme evoluution näkökulmasta räjähdyksenomaisessa elonkehän muutoksessa, joka tuhoaa elinolosuhteet jo lähitulevaisuudessa.
