...daring it to discuss them, while exhorting Western audiences to be morally armed? Or does he back away from further confrontation in the hope of tamping down the rage his words have already provoked? Those who know him say he was clearly shocked and appalled by the violent reaction to the Germany speech. Yet it seems unlikely that he will completely drop the topic and the megaphone he has discovered he is holding. "The Pope has the intention to say what he thinks," says a high-ranking Vatican diplomat. "He may adjust his tone, but his direction won't change...
Islam played a particular role--as both a threat and a model--in the drama that probably lies closest to Benedict's heart: the secularization of Christian Europe.

Neither justifies what I see as a physical symbol of self-denigration that, consciously or not, has kept women in the Arab and Muslim world in a subordinate social position as a whole.

...cried on the air.David Rees felt the same sorrow, confusion, and anger. “In New York City after 9-11 you could literally smell death,” he recalls. “It was dreadful.” But he had an entirely different reaction from those other funnymen. He decided to make a comic strip.Five years later, that strip, “Get Your War On,” (GYWO) has turned David Rees into one of America’s most forceful satirical voices. His success has brought him back to Harvard Square?...
