There are many reasons for these early deliveries, making it particularly difficult to target one or even a few factors and address them head-on.

In Krasinski’s film, as in Wallace’s prose, no man or woman is left spared...

The Council on American-Islamic Relations, a Washington advocacy group for American Muslims and itself often a target of criticism from conservatives, warned that the move could constitute a chilling effect on religion, and send a very negative message not only to people of faith, particularly American Muslims, but to Muslims worldwide. "Already we're seeing around the Muslim world headlines saying the United States government seizes American mosques," he said...
