ABSTRACT: Harvard Divinity School will give back a $2.5 million cash gift from the president of the United Arab Emirates, ending more than a year of controversy spurred by the country's support of an Arab League think tank that promoted anti-Semitic ideas. The donation from Sheik Zayed bin Sultan al-Nahyan, announced four years ago, was supposed to have funded an endowed professorship in Islamic religious studies to promote "a better understanding of Islam among the non-Muslim people of the world." Harvard froze the donation in spring 2003, before a professor had been named, after some students raised concerns over the...

The father and stepmother of a five-year-old girl were convicted Thursday of murdering the child four years ago and disposing of her dismembered body parts in two parks in a horrific case that continues to stun the city with every new revelation. snip The apparent ease with which the jurors reached their guilty verdicts came despite being unaware of some of the case's more gruesome evidence - especially allegations that Khan, angry because he believed little Farah Khan was the "bastard child" of his first wife in Pakistan, visited a butcher shop several times before her murder to watch a...

It appears to be the first time an al-Qaeda fighter reads some portions of his will in English. Ashraf bin Ibrahim al-Sayye, made the following threats in English: ?For the American soldiers, we say, ?You have to know that your government has become...

Princess Haifa, wife of Saudi Arabia’s ambassador to the US, rarely graces the society pages, so it was shocking to see her in Newsweek’s "terrorism" pages recently as an Al-Qaeda financier. Princess Haifa fell under suspicion because she wrote some personal checks to a woman claiming, like a fairy-tale character who lived in a shoe, that she had six children and a thyroid condition, and did not know what to do (except to write Princess Haifa and ask for money).
