This article, written by Hesham A. Hassaballa, appeared on the Washington Post on December 21,2011 She was alone, as she was wont to do, worshiping in the eastern section of the temple. Suddenly, she was startled by a strange presence: a man with whom she was not familiar. “I seek refuge from thee with the Most Gracious,” she said, “(Approach me not) if you are conscious of Him!” He sought to calm her by saying, “I am but a messenger of your Lord, (who says,) `I shall bestow upon thee the gift of a son endowed with purity.’”

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — The latest U.S.-Pakistan crisis continued Tuesday to threaten the Obama administration’s strategy for gradually ending the war in Afghanistan, as the Islamabad government said it would boycott an upcoming international conference in Germany on Afghanistan’s future. The Pakistani cabinet, after a meeting in the eastern city of Lahore, said in a statement that it supports “stability and peace in Afghanistan and the importance of an Afghan-led, Afghan-owned process of reconciliation and expressed the hope that the international community will reaffirm its support for peace and development in Afghanistan at the forthcoming Bonn Conference.” Read full article > >

For a fruit that doesn’t fall far from the tree, the apple has sure gotten around. Thank the itinerant 19th-century orchardist John Chapman , known as Johnny Appleseed, for planting this import in much of the country and making it as American as Mom — at least in pie. But what about our delectable native fruit, the papaw ? Although it once thrived throughout the eastern United States, only a small percentage of Americans have ever tasted it, and those who have even heard of it tend to confuse it with the tropical papaya, which it definitely is not. Cold-hardy but tropical-tasting, it looks a bit like a mango, but with pale yellow, custardy, spoonable flesh and black, shiny, easy-to-remove seeds. Read full article > >

BENGHAZI, Libya —Moammar Gaddafi’s wife and three of his children have apparently fled across the border into Algeria, underscoring how much of Libya has slipped out of the control of the former autocrat, who ruled the country for about 42 years. But there was still no indication where Gaddafi was hiding . Rebel leaders fear that violence will continue until Gaddafi is captured and Libyans can see that he is no longer in power. A businessmen’s club in the eastern rebel stronghold of Benghazi has offered a $2 million bounty for him. Read full article > >
