» Conservative, insular, sometimes radical -- these are some people's perceptions of Islam and its followers. The after-effect of the Sept 11 terrorist attacks intensified by the headline-grabbing surge of the Islamic State, the image of Islam sometimes sparks fear that results in waves of Islamophobia and even anti-Muslim policies in certain parts of the world.

» Dazzling jewellery, the finest clothes, colourful hijabs tailored especially for Eid al-Fitr, the joyous day that marks the end of Ramadan, which falls today in most parts of the world.

» The only thing that will resolve the violence in the Deep South is peace dialogue -- this could be just a dull, standard statement.
