...Indonesia matters. The battle for its soul is taking place within a wider war in the Islamic world pitting progressive Muslims, who believe their faith can coexist with modernity and liberal Western influences, against fundamentalists, who want the religion to return to its more austere Arab roots. What happens in Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim nation, could presage the direction other Islamic societies take. Over the past four years, dozens of regencies-provincial subdivisions-across Indonesia have used the more permissive political climate to implement Shari'a-based bylaws that include bans on alcohol and prohibitions on women...
...images of both cities. "Shanghai and Miami Beach share a great deal in common," explains the MDPL's spokesman Scott Timm. "They are both economic and business centers for their regions, represent a blending of cultures and both contain a large number of Art Deco structures that must coexist with growing pressure for high-rise development...
...national and personal background may contribute to his fondness for bright lines staunchly defended. Nigeria is a country where boundless enthusiasm and resources coexist with harsh factionalism, not the least between Muslims in its north and Christians in its south.

...Dividing Iraq would serve no purpose. The fighting there would just escalate from an Iraqi civil war to a war among Arab states. If the different factions in Iraq are separated, it won't mean they would peacefully coexist; they would keep fighting. Nobody but a few Sunni tribes liked Saddam, and nobody can say it isn't good that he is gone, but most Iraqis share only one viewpoint now: they want the U.S. out. If the U.S. set a deadline for getting out of Iraq, it would help. Reuben Luoma-Overstreet Dulles, South Africa...
