HELL ON EARTH

The UN Documents Congo's Bloodbath
Women and girls were raped. Men slaughtered. Refugees killed with
machetes and sticks. A new UN report describes an orgy of violence in
Congo between 1993 and 2003, meticulously documenting how law and
humanity were abandoned. It also accuses Rwanda of atrocities in Congo
-- something that has not gone down well in Kigali.

THE SARRAZIN DEBATE
--------------------

Germany Is Becoming Islamophobic
Thilo Sarrazin's comments about Muslims have triggered outrage in
Germany and abroad, but have met with willing listeners among the
general public. His rhetoric is slowly bringing about change in Germany,
transforming it from a tolerant society into one dominated by fear and
Islamophobia.
