...member of a modern, moderate, educated and liberal sector of society, I have learned to respect other people's rights and feelings. And as a Muslim, I was not only hurt but also surprised and disgusted by the cartoons of Muhammad. When the world is on the brink of dividing into two deadly blocs, the Muslims and the West, such cartoons only serve as a catalyst to widen the gap. Even moderate Muslims who are against terrorism can't tolerate any mocking of the Holy Prophet, no matter how the joke is intended. Komal Mehreen Karachi...
...first - and then, in 1998, another chance to see parts of his program through - but Howard found it would not be so easy to win their affection or trust. After more than 25 years in politics, he had by habit found comfort in being right. It had garnered him respect. Being popular, however, was novel - and fleeting.

Except when they lost the Ashes five months ago, Australia under Ponting have trampled everyone in their path. He has played numerous sublime captain's knocks, and clearly has the respect, loyalty and affection of his players. But on another level, Australian cricket has suffered under a leader whose goals seem too narrow. Defeat in England stung him; the response hasn't always been edifying...
...Those who see sport as the pursuit of victory at any cost won't be bothered by some of the habits that have crept into Ponting's teams. Sport soars, however, when the participants show qualities incidental to the goal of winning - like respect for opponents and fans. The exuberance with which Australian batsmen are celebrating on reaching their centuries has become absurd. Much fuss was made over Michael Slater's reaction to making a hundred at Lord's in 1993. But that display, which included kissing the Australian crest on his helmet, was subdued compared to the fits...
