The Sprüngli café on Paradeplatz is a traditional meeting-place of the elderly ladies of Zürich's upper class. Local folklore has it that young men who attend the café alone may signal their availability to these well-to-do women by turning over their coffee spoons in their cups.

Even under the Almoravids, some Jews prospered (although far more so under Ali III, than under his father Yusuf ibn Tashfin).

A Quran Belt is a region where conservative Islamic values are strong. It is most commonly associated with an area where Islam has been historically influential in northwest China (Xinjiang, Ningxia, Gansu and Qinghai) along the borders of central Asia, Tibet and Mongolia.The Chinese Sultanate: p 34 David G. Atwill - 2005 Other parts of the world where Islam is or has historically been highly influential have also adopted this name, such as Kabul and Kandahar in Afghanistan, central Saudi Arabia,The Arab Predicament: Fouad Ajami - 1992 Southeastern Anatolia,The Lost History of Christianity - Page 163, John Philip Jenkins - 2009 Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and India's Jammu and Kashmir territory, Lakshadweep islands, and Barak Valley region of Assam state.
