...lined face tells of toil and distress. Three years after Munich she married an older man, Neil Innes, a fundamentalist Christian contemptuous of competitive sport. They drove across the continent to Western Australia, where they bought land and practiced subsistence farming while raising four children...
...tall man with stylishly unkempt hair and no beard who wore Western clothes, Zougam hardly looked like an Islamic fundamentalist. He did not appear religious. In Lavapies, a Madrid melting pot of North African, Chinese and Indian immigrants, Zougam ran a locutorio, one of the popular shops where you can make cheap phone calls abroad.

Fundamentalist Christians continue to support Bush after he lied to America so he could bomb Iraq; yet, they called for Clinton’s head when he lied about having sex. Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell denounce Islam as a “violent religion” but then use Old Testament texts to prove that Christianity isn?...
