...sure, many Islamist terrorists have come from well-off, integrated families. But the U.S. Muslim community is less likely to breed disaffection, because it is extremely diverse. In fact, it is probably the most diverse in the world, hailing from many parts of the globe, speaking numerous languages and practicing several different versions of Islam. This makes it less likely that any one group will dominate and more likely that each subgroup will adapt to its new surroundings...
...Chinese, particularly in the south, do have a taste for fresh dog meat. But in recent years, urban pet ownership has skyrocketed, as yuppies (or Chuppies, as they're locally dubbed) find a poodle or a schnauzer or a schnoodle (a cross between the two breeds) the perfect accompaniment to their modern lives.

Then there are Luc's mates from Yagoona High School - including Aborigine Shane, Islander Donald and Arab Walid - all struggling to make their way in life. In their late 20s, some have children or a partner in jail...
...Along with other smaller blasts over the last few years, India has tackled terrorism in Kashmir, Maoist insurgencies and frequent acts of terrorism across the country, as well as sporadic acts of terror from separatist groups in Assam and southern India. The blasts of 7/11, however, represent a new breed of terror for India. The blasts were synchronized and used a high-quality explosive. This was the work of a well-financed terror group that needed no suicide bombers. As a nation, India must now move on from merely praising its phenomenal ability to seemingly brush off and heal from...
