To do so, the police block access to prayers at the Muslim holy sites for men under the age of 50, which further inflames Palestinian passions, as does the heavy police presence required to keep order. It's a vicious cycle, says Jerusalem Police Chief Aharon Franco. "No one knows if there is going to be another intifada, but if there is, it will start in Jerusalem."

...returned to civilian rule. While democracy permits greater freedom of religious expression in Nigeria, it has also intensified the political and economic friction between ethnic groups. Rioting in 2001 killed more than 1,000 people, and subsequent outbreaks in 2004 and 2008 killed another thousand. Smaller but no less vicious attacks in 2009 claimed dozens of lives.
