...another state, where the school years start and end on time and students aren't afraid to walk to class. But Qadiri is a Kashmiri Muslim. He chose a college near Ahmadabad, the main city in the western Indian state of Gujarat. Two months ago, a mob of Muslims torched a train carriage near Ahmadabad, killing 58 Hindus. In the aftermath, nearly a thousand Muslims have been killed in reprisals that fail to simmer down.

Cee-lo sounds a lot like Al Green, and so do his songs, full of complicated themes, big grooves and deep...
...Eastern countries. In the small Persian Gulf nation of Bahrain, where the U.S. maintains a major naval facility, a demonstrator died after a throng of protesters broke through the gates of the U.S. embassy. Another protester was killed in Alexandria, Egypt when police fired rubber bullets to stop a mob from marching on the city's American cultural center. In the most troubling incident to date, an apparent terrorist attack on the Tunisian island of Djerba targeted one of the last remnants of North Africa's 2,000-year-old Jewish community. The attack, which may have been timed...
