Your life must be very strange.' But of course I have not experienced any other life. It's not strange to me." That's Harry's uncle Prince Andrew, in a 2006 interview for TIME...

"If you hardly drive it, that's a really good point," she says. "There are people like you, but hopefully not too many. People with very old, well-looked-after Mercedes are probably not the target of this...
...trend: the rise of a Euro-Muslim middle class. A Gallup poll last year found European Muslims to be at least as likely to identify themselves as British, French or German as the general populations. Migrants' children have begun moving from corner shops and factory floors to offices. They swap business cards at Muslim networking events like Britain's Emerald Network or Holland's Toward a New Start, a group for Moroccans who, in the words of founder Ahmed Larouz, are "the sort of people who say, 'I want to be CEO of Philips.'"
