...French Islam expert Olivier Roy writes that since 9/11, Muslims find themselves, their actions, and their motives being interpreted, characterized, and frequently skewed from non-Muslim perspectives. He's got a great point. One shouldn't doubt the concern and good intentions of progressives and secularists calling for Muslim women to resist socio-cultural coercion and shed the hijab and niqab as an impediment to full integration into European society. Still, those same opponents of the veil shouldn't presume they can dismiss as misguided or deluded the conviction of women who say they wear hijab by choice...

Arroyo has condemned the killings, but she will not implicate the military?even as it implicates itself. Col. Eduardo del Rosario, head of a military antiterrorist unit called Task Force Davao, admitted...
...unexpected, and he stepped in when one of his bowlers was sending down rubbish, regardless of the bowler's name. Richie Benaud was the master of appearing assured even when the plane was in a nosedive, a knack Ponting rarely displayed in England. What's not in doubt is that his players want him as captain. "I know he has a lot to offer, and there's probably nobody else who could do it at the moment," says MacGill. "I think he's copped a lot of grief from a lot of observers when maybe he was just let down...
