...puttering about the garden is your thing, you've got HGTV. If you're a weekend chef, there's the Food Network.

...with renewed determination against bin Laden's Taliban hosts after Sept. 11, but some of Islam's most influential scholars and clerics began refusing to give their support to the Kabul regime. Egyptian Sheik Yusuf al-Qaradawi, who is host of a religious program on the pan-Arab television channel al-Jazeera, issued a statement condemning the suicide attacks.
