...DAR ES SALAAM, Tanzania —My parents, friends and relatives wondered how I’d ever get by here. I like the amenities of life in the developed world—decent cups of tea served loose leaf with similarly decent china, pan-Asian cuisine, good gin, clean bathrooms with toilets instead of ceramic holes. The Third World, despite my academic interest in its colonization, just didn’t seem to fit with my palate or hygienic pattern...
Eidmann, a social studies concentrator, will intern in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, where she will document and disseminate information on human rights abuses in the region...
...these God-obsessed terrorists, the imperative to free Iraq is profound. The country is in the heartland of Dar al-Islam, the true realm of the faith, not some backwater like Afghanistan. For 500 years, Baghdad was home to the Caliph, the leader of all Muslims, the equivalent of both Pope and King. For them, U.S. occupation of this land is an existential affront.

That requires the radicals to bloody the Americans--the more savagely, the better...
...State Colin Powell and British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw released a statement decrying the killings and admonishing Pakistan to respect Kashmir's de facto border. But years of international pressure have failed to help resolve the Kashmir issue; local efforts are faring no better. On March 22, Abdul Majid Dar, an ex-militant who had been calling for negotiations, was assassinated. Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mufti Mohammed Sayeed is trying a "healing touch" policy, hoping goodwill gestures-for example, disbanding "counterinsurgency squads" and releasing detained militants-point toward peace. Scores of Muslims aided Nadimarg's Hindus after the murders...
...asserts the superiority of Islam and rejects assimilation with non-Muslim societies - is supplanting the more flexible faith that long prevailed in the diaspora. Fueled by Wahhabi funds from the Persian Gulf and a radical interpretation of the Koran, Muslim preachers insist that their European congregants are living in dar al-harb, the realm of war. They seek to reshape European Muslim communities into virtual ghettos. By mirroring the de facto separatism fostered by European attitudes, radical imams have created fertile ground for the recruitment and protection of terrorists. Throughout Europe, Muslims suffer high unemployment, poor health and low literacy...
