...conclusion: ban all these religions, cults and man-made concepts of how to worship God. Bar the different religious leaders from spreading their views as the only absolute. Mankind can always use religion as a casus belli. Forbid religions, and there will be far fewer fights. JORMA KAJASTE Espoo, Finland...
...mixed last week with investors' now-traditional agony. Markets had the biggest four-day rise in a decade, surging over 10% on encouraging earnings. But like the days of irrational exuberance, it soon ended. Sure, banks earned more, but only by increasing consumer debt - raising larger economic doubts.

"Why should I be given any more consideration than an elderly grandmother hoping to visit relatives?" he says. His friend and fellow director Aki Kaurismäki of Finland boycotted the festival in solidarity. Ten, Kiarostami's latest film, also reflects his unobtrusive approach. Shot with two digital cameras affixed to the dashboard of the car in which the entire film takes place, it records the young driver's conversations with ten passengers as she ferries them around Tehran.
