...practice contrary to the basic tenets of the faith (hence the need for inverted commas). This condemnation must take practical shape. Parents must be vigilant against the radicalization of their children; congregations must reject radical preachers who claim the mimbar (pulpit); the wider community must be ready to cast from its midst those plotting and carrying out criminal acts. With the Muslim community as an ally...
...original parts. The firm's reman engineers now work closely with designers to produce components that will be easy and profitable to revitalize years later. "That's an absolute key," says Fisher. "It's designing for several life cycles." Take those cylinder heads, for instance. When they're first cast, they're now given a slightly thicker layer of metal on top in expectation that they will ultimately be milled down several times. Fisher says that makes the original manufacturing a bit more expensive, but it's a cost that's more than recouped by the two or three extra...
Indeed, the deadly bombing and the threat of further attacks has cast a shadow over an otherwise successful year for UNIFIL. From 2,000 armed observers last summer, UNIFIL today stands at some 13,500 troops drawn from 30 nations, including European heavyweights such as France, Italy and Spain.

Abdi's room feels like a field hospital. But it was to escape such horrors - militiamen had killed their mother and another brother on their farm outside Baidoa - that Abdi and his brother left in 2004. "We chose South Africa for a better life," he says. "We came here...
Rescue Dawn hasn't quite the intensity or veracity of Little Dieter. Somehow, hearing Dengler testify to the atrocities he survived is more vivid than watching an excellent cast re-enact them. But the Herzog team's devotion to the horror of the story, and to Dengler's unkillable spirit, is gratifying. Rescue Dawn is a tale of heroism untainted by political skepticism. In an age when U.S. soldiers are seen as villains or victims, the movie offers a GI who bravely, or madly, simply refuses...
