...among Arab states. If the different factions in Iraq are separated, it won't mean they would peacefully coexist; they would keep fighting. Nobody but a few Sunni tribes liked Saddam, and nobody can say it isn't good that he is gone, but most Iraqis share only one viewpoint now: they want the U.S. out. If the U.S. set a deadline for getting out of Iraq, it would help. Reuben Luoma-Overstreet Dulles, South Africa...
...deeply offended by James C. Dobson's Viewpoint "Two Mommies Is One Too Many" [Dec. 18].

Islam has an expansion policy, which is that every Muslim has a duty to spread the religion in the name of the Prophet. Criticized as a myopic hard-liner when elected, Benedict might become the Pope...
...Commentator Tariq Ramadan's viewpoint column urged the West to remember "the critical role that Muslims played in the development of Western thought" [Nov. 27]. If Ramadan wants to bolster the image of Islam in the West today, however, he would do better to implore Muslims around the world to protest any and all acts of violence, intimidation and terrorism committed in the name of Allah. Until then, how can Ramadan blame anyone for fearing Muslim immigration? Only when Muslims learn to accept Christians and members of other religions will they no longer be taken as a threat to world...
