...over the world are oppressed in the name of Islam," she says from VVD party headquarters in the Hague, as her bodyguards wait outside. The bodyguards are needed because Hirsi Ali has been threatened by Islamic fundamentalists ever since she first openly criticized Islam on a local TV station in March. After death threats in October, she went into hiding in the U.S., returning two weeks...
...ancestor - which, in terms of cultural spending, he did. Never had art and secular politics been brought closer together than in late Medicean Florence. Cosimo's patronage dominated the production of visual meaning and the consumption of art in the city, rather as the ownership of a local TV station might help magnify the image of a determined and self-centered mayor...

About 45% of the 300,000 party members turned out, despite a Palestinian attack on a polling station in the northern city of Beit She'an, which killed six people and wounded 30. They were, one commentator said, "voting under fire." When the gunmen struck in the early afternoon, barely 30% of the voters had turned out. Worried that a low turnout might help the challenger, Sharon summoned a press...
