• Fisk: Dubai may soon become a satellite of India
Allah was kind to Dubai yesterday. Just when the emirate's unspeakable wealth appeared on the point of collapse – stock markets, of course, naturally 'trembled' – along came the feast of Eid al-Adha and sent all the kings and emirs and sheikhs off to their diwans to celebrate the decision by the father of monotheism – the Prophet Ibrahim himself – not to kill his son Ismail.
• Come rain or revolution, it's money they all want
Haven't the 20th anniversary celebrations of the overthrow of communism been miserable?
• Why shouldn’t a priest fall in love and get married?
Fr Sean McKenna’s dramatic announcement during mass at Holy Family church in Ballymagroarty, Co Londonderry that he was leaving the priesthood because of his relationship with a woman sent shockwaves through the Catholic Church.
• The war in Helmand cannot be lost on the streets of Wiltshire
What would have happened to Northern Ireland in the 1970s if repetitive, round-the-clock TV news had been available to record all British Army deaths in Ulster?Historic Ulster: Towns and villages
