...someone should do this in the name of a god," she said. But mixed in with compassion and understanding was a niggling sense that Nicholson had somehow failed. For Christians, forgiveness is, if not a spiritual duty, then at least a much-preached-about aspiration. Nicholson hinted at the conflict herself. "I have always been very in awe and humbled by those who stand up and say from a faith perspective, 'I forgive'," she said. But Nicholson decided that there are some things in life "unforgivable by the human spirit." So, she confessed, "it is very difficult...
...four-year cease-fire. Your story recounted the amazement of former Johns Hopkins visiting scholar Dayan Jayatilleka as he witnessed soldiers' donating blood for Tamils in the days after the tsunami.

...increase undergraduates’ understanding of Islam. Record enrollment in Arabic language (a 20% increase in the past year alone) and Foreign Cultures classes on “Islamic understanding” reflects Harvard students’ awareness of Islam as a global issue and their motivation to resolve conflict. The Alwaleed program may someday offer certificates or even undergraduate degrees. If the program is sucessful, students walking through the Yard might not stare so blankly at the prayer-callers in front of Widener during future Islamic Awareness Weeks...
