American Muslims Face Growing Prejudice
Ten years after the 9/11 attacks, America's Muslims have become the

country has become paranoid.

coalition partners have unsettled markets and could "cost billions,"
German commentators warn.

Greeks Vow to Rebel Against New 'Monster Tax'
The Greek government's new real estate tax, a desperate bid to meet its
budget goals and secure fresh foreign aid, will hit the population hard.
Greeks have almost their entire wealth invested in property -- and are
more worried about the tax than about the prospect of a national
insolvency or leaving the euro.

Crashes Threaten Russian Aerospace Revival 
A series of plane crashes -- eight this year alone with the total loss
of 119 lives -- is threatening to undermine Russia's ambitions to revive
its once-proud aircraft industry. The country is pinning its hopes on a
new regional jet, the Sukhoi Superjet 100 -- but each new disaster
involving aging planes is dimming its prospects of success in the

Popular Mayor Set for Easy Re-Election on Sunday
Berlin has pressing economic and social problems and its mayor, Klaus
Wowereit, has done little to solve them over the last decade. But the
Social Democrat who has helped turn the "poor but sexy" city into a
major cultural hub looks sure to be re-elected -- because Berliners like
him.

Libyans Struggle Along Path Toward Reconciliation
How can a country come to terms with a 42-year reign of terror in which
many people played a part? Who should be convicted and who should be
