People of All Faiths Recall Pope With Fondness
Muslims remembered the pope for reaching out to them, especially after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Jews said they were grateful for the pope's outspokenness against anti-Semitism and the Holocaust, although some said they were troubled by his meeting with the late Palestinian leader Yasir Arafat in 2000 and his beatification of a Jewish-born nun, Edith Stein. Imam Hassan al-Qazwini of Detroit, who leads the Islamic Center of America, the country's largest mosque, said that in December 2001, the pope called on Catholics to fast with Muslims on the last Friday of the holy month of Ramadan. [John Paul II] apologized, at another time, for the violence of the Crusades. Jewish leaders also praised the pope's efforts over the years to reach out to them. John Paul was the first pope to visit a synagogue, they said. He called anti-Semitism ''a sin against God'' and confirmed the validity of God's covenant with the Jews. He also established full diplomatic ties with Israel in 1993 and acknowledged the special and profound suffering of Jews in the Holocaust.

Ordinary-Looking Liquid, to Be Used as a Weapon? A Wake-Up Call Across the U.S
In their homeliest particulars -- mothers were being asked to take sips of infant formula before boarding flights yesterday -- the plot and the response seemed to deliver a fresh jolt to people who had grown numb to the subject of terrorism. Many reflected on their own movements and vulnerability, seeing futility in hoping to evade an attack that could be launched at the moment they closed their eyes on a plane or train. The news from London landed nearly five years after President Bush declared a ''war on terror.'' Across the schism of national opinion on Mr. Bush's wisdom, skill and candor in battling the terror threat, the details had powerful if opposing resonances. Outside the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum in Springfield, Ill., Alan Fikes said he was impressed with the work of the British authorities in cutting off attacks. He said the absence of other attacks on U.S. soil in five years was a credit to the Bush administration's tactics.
