...words were taken out of context, Hilali fell into the arms of his physicians. He rode out the storm behind a floral wall his supporters had laid out for him at a Sydney hospital. Again, the questions came: Is Islam anti-women? Can Muslims be true to their faith and practice Australian values? Has multiculturalism and tolerance gone too far in allowing the mufti to preach vile views...

HSA needs to seriously reconsider to whom it subcontracts its storage services, and the University needs to lend Kirklanders a hand in recovering their belongings...
...Your special report cited research describing Americans' religious beliefs. While it is bound to be difficult to construct a questionnaire that neatly pigeonholes people's religious faith, the viewpoints representing "How Americans See God"-which included an "Authoritarian God" and a "Benevolent God"-were simplistic and incomplete. Is God authoritarian or benevolent? According to the Bible, he is both. The way people view God may be an interesting sociological study, but those views do not define who God is.
