...Islam and Violence Irshad Manji's essay "When Denial Can Kill" succinctly captured the complex issue of Islam's intertwinings with terrorism and noted that Muslims, of which she is one, need to admit that Islam might be motivating suicide bombers [Aug. 1]. As a Muslim, I find it not only refreshing but also encouraging to read an article that challenges what Manji referred to as a "dangerous denial from which mainstream Muslims need to emerge." Perhaps other Muslims will follow Manji's lead and be less hesitant to create a much needed bridge of "cross-cultural understanding." Sara Sadik...
...blast. I believe the modernization occurred because the U.S. simply did not comprehend the extent of destruction the atom bomb would cause and thus set about rebuilding the city to ease the pain and guilt Americans felt.

Whether they succeed in disrupting the evacuation, the protesters are intent on turning it into a test of Israel's very identity. In this showdown, Sharon's detractors--including former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who resigned from the Cabinet last week to side with the opposition--claim the higher power...
...Hilburg house, no steps have been taken to leave. Like so many Gaza residents, they are counting on denial and faith to save their community at the zero hour. Bryna folds her hands in her lap and says, "The simple fact is, I don't want to go. It's my home of 26 years. My roots are here. Netzer Hazani has what I need and want. We built it up. We made a beautiful place, beautiful in spirit." So the Hilburgs say they will do anything peaceable and lawful that will stop the clock, but nothing more. They obeyed...
