School Segregation is Making a Comeback
Inside Story - Is the War on Terror Failing?
The subject was on the agenda at the recent BRICS conference in China, and will debated at the upcoming UN General Assembly. This week it's catapulted back into the spotlight for an obvious reason, the 16th anniversary of 9/11.
The September 11 attacks in the United States in 2001 have largely defined U.S. foreign policy since, and affected lives throughout the world. Almost 3000 people were killed when hijackers flew planes into the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon.
And the attacks triggered a series of events including new wars, new immigration policies, and new prejudices.
What will it take to defeat terror?

Obsessed with Virginity – Female Sexuality among Western Muslims | DW Documentary
What significance does the requirement for virginity have among young Muslims? Are their own expectations and outlooks compatible with their parents' traditions? Filmmaker Güner Yasemin Balci heard some extremely personal responses to these questions while making the documentary ‘Obsessed with Virginity’. She was born to Turkish immigrants and grew up in the multicultural Berlin district of Neukölln. From an early age she was eager to know why Muslims often deny their children the right to self-determination, and what price the younger generation have to pay to be free. She talks to female activists, women's rights campaigners and psychologists, who themselves have Muslim roots. All of them have had to fight to be able to live their own lives. It meant breaking away from families and friends due to the women's rejection of moral concepts that make sexuality a crime - and which are still promoted by preachers in many mosques today as they were 900 years ago. These are women who want to educate and change society, with an agenda that is both personal and political.
