"I'm native born in New Orleans, live in the French Quarter, been here all my life," he says. "We've recovered from the Civil War, from yellow-fever epidemics, from hurricanes--the hurricane of 1915, and the hurricane of 1947 that like to have wiped out the city. Then Betsy...

At Adhamiya's ancient Abu Hanifa mosque, close to the Bridge of Imams, sermons routinely laud the jihadis who have been killing Shi'ite civilians and curse the Shi'ite-dominated government.
