...Ramadan blame anyone for fearing Muslim immigration? Only when Muslims learn to accept Christians and members of other religions will they no longer be taken as a threat to world peace. Jack Treese Simi Valley, California, U.S. I would like to ask Ramadan three questions. If Islam is a European religion, why are other European religions not permitted in many Islamic countries? If atrocities like 9/11 and the bombings in London, Madrid and Bali are being committed by a marginal minority of radicals, why weren't European Muslims out on the streets demonstrating against such atrocities, as Europeans demonstrated against...

The boutique is a miniversion of a typical Sephora store, replete with fanciful makeup and pricey skin-care lines presented on accessible, self-service shelves...
...Religious fanaticism, political and tribal animosities and irrational anti-Western sentiments have created a crisis of national self-destruction. To reduce the regional prejudice against Western culture, a large scholarship program for young Muslims (not only from Iraq), with stays of two to four years in the U.S. and European countries, should be launched. I remember gratefully the liberation of Germany at the end of World War II and the subsequent favorable social, cultural and economic development. Gerhard Fritsch Nuremberg, Germany...
