A 16-year-old Jew was arrested on the Temple Mount on Wednesday, after members of the Jordanian Waqf (Islamic trust) ordered Israeli police to do so. The Waqf members said they had seen the youth's lips moving as he said a silent prayer.

The special accommodations for Carver Elementary's nearly 100 Somali Muslims don't stop with organized prayer. The school cafeteria has banned pork and other foods that conflict with the Islamic diet.
