...someone's back room. (In a poll released in September by the Federation of Student Islamic Societies, only 2% of British Muslims said the mosque was their primary source of religious knowledge; 31% cited books, pamphlets, websites and videos.) Nor can it be easily argued that social deprivation or ethnic discrimination breeds radicalism; many of those arrested last week were from middle-class homes--the sort that send their children to university--in standard British multicultural neighborhoods, where Muslims, white Britons and more recent immigrants from Eastern Europe live together...
...more important for the security system to be geared towards detecting passengers with intent to do harm rather than relying on detecting the specific means they've chosen.

Variously Roman Catholics, Orthodox Christians or Jews, who presumably barrack for the Dragons, Knights, Sharks, Roosters and Bulldogs, they are a mix of lawyers, engineers and political...
...sense, it's formulaic film-making (the triumph over adversity), but Footy Legends has heart and depth. As Do, the 2005 Young Australian of the Year, has said, the film draws on his experiences of growing up in a grimy suburb and playing football in a losing team where ethnic lines were never an issue...
