NPR : Role of Islam vs. National Identity in Tsunami Aid
An interesting topic this islam vs. national identity. Islam seems not be supernational in all circumstances.

ULM, Germany (Reuters) – Police have arrested 22 people in a series of pre-dawn raids across Germany in pursuit of Islamic extremists suspected of helping militant groups and recruiting fighters for “holy war”.

The operation was one of the biggest of its kind in Germany, which has stepped up surveillance of suspected extremists among its Muslim population of more than three million since the September 11, 2001, attacks on the United States.
