"We are going to stop this deification of Hitler," he said without elaborating.
Deification through a small restaurant .
Gromit, I was like Australia ("WTF^^?") too, when I learned that Finnish Jews are against something going on in Finland. Now, really, I can understand spreading a nation thin... But that's just hilarious

[sigh] For the record, all I was implying is that there's an obvious possible explanation for the phenom which the journalist neglected to address. And that means I'm unimpressed with the journalist, though glad I saw the story anyway. Unlike the shmucks you link to, I did not intend it as a slight against Islam. If the restaurant was in northern Idaho and the manager, Adolf Schmidt, said he'd opened the Hitler-themed restaurant merely to stand out as different, I would also be wondering why the journalist didn't bother to ask about the obvious possible white supremacist angle.
Tokyo had a similar place, iirc, and I'm pretty sure it wasn't run by Muslims.

The experiment involved for the first time a macroscopic atomic object containing thousands of billions of atoms. They also teleported the information a distance of half a meter but believe it can be extended further.
"Teleportation between two single atoms had been done two years ago by two teams but this was done at a distance of a fraction of a millimeter," Polzik, of the Danish National Research Foundation Center for Quantum Optics, explained.
"Our method allows teleportation to be taken over longer distances because it involves light as the carrier of entanglement," he added.
Quantum entanglement involves entwining two or more particles without physical contact.

In Africa, reports of human-elephant conflicts appear almost daily, from Zambia to Tanzania, from Uganda to Sierra Leone, where 300 villagers evacuated their homes last year because of unprovoked elephant attacks.
Still, it is not only the increasing number of these incidents that is causing alarm but also the singular perversity "” for want of a less anthropocentric term "” of recent elephant aggression. Since the early 1990's, for example, young male elephants in Pilanesberg National Park and the Hluhluwe-Umfolozi Game Reserve in South Africa have been raping and killing rhinoceroses; this abnormal behavior, according to a 2001 study in the journal Pachyderm, has been reported in "a number of reserves" in the region. In July of last year, officials in Pilanesberg shot three young male elephants who were responsible for the killings of 63 rhinos, as well as attacks on people in safari vehicles.
...
For a number of biologists and ethologists who have spent their careers studying elephant behavior, the attacks have become so abnormal in both number and kind that they can no longer be attributed entirely to the customary factors. Typically, elephant researchers have cited, as a cause of aggression, the high levels of testosterone in newly matured male elephants or the competition for land and resources between elephants and humans. But in "Elephant Breakdown," a 2005 essay in the journal Nature, Bradshaw and several colleagues argued that today's elephant populations are suffering from a form of chronic stress, a kind of species-wide trauma. Decades of poaching and culling and habitat loss, they claim, have so disrupted the intricate web of familial and societal relations by which young elephants have traditionally been raised in the wild, and by which established elephant herds are governed, that what we are now witnessing is nothing less than a precipitous collapse of elephant culture.
