<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 8.5pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">Even
as Baba Ramdev’s fast that stretched to nine days, undertaken to press his
demand for bringing back black money stashed away in foreign banks, and to step
up war against corruption, got national attention, the death of an ascetic who
valiantly fought against the stone quarries and pollution of River Ganga, by
observing a fast for 114 days, went unnoticed. This unsung hero is Swami
Nigamanananda. Ironically, he died at Himalayan Institute of Medical Sciences
here, where Baba Ramdev was being treated. For two days, he had shared the
intensive care unit of the hospital with Baba Ramdev, and died within hours
after Baba was discharged.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 8.5pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">The
people are angry that Uttarakhand government, which convened repeated press
conferences to pledge its support for Baba Ramdev’s efforts, failed to even
express regret at the sad demise of Swami Nigamananda. The Swami had slipped to
coma about a month before his death. He began his fast on February 19, slipped
to coma on May 2, and did not recover since then. Haridwar district magistrate,
R Meenakshisundaram, has said that post mortem was ordered on the mortal
remains of the ascetic, as there are allegations that his fellow Sanyasis in
the Ashram had fed him poison. Swami Shivananda, founder chief of Matru
Sadan had alleged, in a complaint to Kotwali police station on May 11 that
poison was given to the Swami through a nurse on April 30. He said that this
was responsible for the comatose condition of the Swami since May 2, and has
blamed chief medical officer of the hospital, Dr P K Bhatnagar, and Jnanesh
Kumar, owner of Himalayan Stone Crusher, for the episode. He said that a
chemical compound named organophosphate was used by the nurse.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 8.5pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">Swami
Nigamananda from Matru Sadan Ashram in Haridwar, had been on fast since the
last nearly four months, demanding shifting of stone crushers being operated at
the spot where Kumbhamela is held, alleging that the powdered stone has been
polluting River Ganga, considered to be holy by Hindus. The government
neglected to look into his demands, and he breathed his last at the hospital on
Monday June 13. Nigamananda (36) had fought a lone battle against the state
government’s apathy relating to environmental damage inflicted by the stone
crushing units, and had been trying to attract the attention of the national
media towards the natural calamities suffered by the people of the state.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 8.5pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">The
death of the Sadhu away from media glare because of the utter neglect of the
state government has given rise to a number of questions about the sincerity of
the government and the media towards causes backed by social concern. While
eminent leaders from various fields including political, rushed to ask Ramdev
to end his fast, no one batted an eyelid as Nigamananda continued to lie on his
deathbed for causes that were dear to his heart, and in the interests of his
homeland.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 8.5pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">Congress
leaders from Uttarakhand including Tehri MLA, Kishore Upadhyaya, have blamed
the state government for the death of Swami Nigamananda. The leaders have been
blaming the Chief Minister, who had visited Baba Ramdev regularly to press for
early ending of his fast, of not caring to meet Swami Nigamananda. Swami
Nigamananda’s noble motives got dashed because of stays obtained by owners of
stone crushers from the High Court, and lack of support from the local people
who did not rally behind him. In the coming days, Congress is likely to use
this incident as a weapon to take on BJP. All India Congress Committee general
secretary, Janardan Dwivedi, said that the BJP, which had steadfastly supported
Baba Ramdev, could have saved Swami Nigamananda, if it had paid heed to his
plea for saving River Ganga from pollution.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><o:p></o:p></span><br />

Much before the national media went into a frenzy trying to dig information on Baba Ramdev’s wealth, TEHELKA HINDI published a cover story on his business empire and his corrupt ways of purchasing and misusing land. (Yog se Udyog 5 April 2011 by Manoj Rawat and Mahipal Kunwar). Here are some highlights from the article:<br />
Politics and money: In response to a question from Congress General Secretary Digvijay Singh, Ramdev divulged the turnover of his two trusts, Divya Yog Mandir and Patanjali Yogpeeth Trust as Rs 1,100 crore. He also added that he doesn’t own even a single rupee worth of property in his name.<br />
Patanjali Ayurved Limited, which was set up in 2006, donated Rs 10 lakh to the BJP during the 2009 Lok Sabha elections. Ramdev’s aide, Acharya Balkrishna accepted that the company had also donated to the Congress.<br />
Land scam: The law enforced by the Congress government of Uttarakhand in 2004 restricts the purchase of land by non-residents of Uttarakhand to 500 sq m. For purchases beyond that, government permission was made mandatory. But by then Ramdev had amassed 800 bighas. Thereafter, the law was diluted with the addition of a clause, according to which, if the government doesn’t respond within three months, a person can purchase any amount of land by filing an affidavit on a Rs 100 stamp paper. In 2007, after the BJP government had come to power, the law was made stricter and the 500 sq m limit was scaled down to 250 sq m. But even this did not deter Ramdev, his trusts and companies from purchasing 1,700 bigha in lieu of two orders issued by the government in July 2008. His proposal was cleared for the purpose of conducting research and manufacturing medicines. But Ramdev instead sought permissions to use 800 bighas of the abovementioned land to set up a technology park in Mustafabad. Similarly, Ramdev bought 600 bigha land in Aurangabad, just 20 km off Haridwar on which he built a Yogagram. Villagers claim that this Yogagram has encroached upon 200 bighas of land owned by gram sabhas. The village Thakur Ajab Singh Chauhan says that much of the encroached land includes that owned by farmers and allotted to Harijans. Access to the jungle has also been cut off as the pathway leading to it runs through the encroached land. The Tehelka team verified this through Revenue records of Uttarakhand.<br />
Acharya Balkrishna: His nationality is being questioned but while applying for a passport, he claimed he is an Indian citizen and that his birthplace is Haridwar. On 19 April 1998, the Bareilly passport office issued him a passport (AS 245797). According to the documents accessed by Tehelka, on 5 April 2005 the Local Intelligence Unit, Haridwar, held Balkrishna responsible for attaining the passport and an arms license for a pistol and a rifle (License no. 125/4 and 127/4) by presenting incorrect information. On being asked for his opinion, the senior prosecution officer, Bhopal Dutt Joshi sent a letter to LIU finding Balkrishna guilty of violating Section 468, 471 of IPC and Section 12 - A of the Indian Passport Act.<br />
According to a source, in 2006, Balkrishna suggested a draft Act to the higher education department for setting up a private university. The draft had several flaws but instead of addressing them, he contacted the Chief Minister of Uttarakhand, ND Tiwari directly and got it cleared.<br />
Minimum wage dispute: In May 2005, his brother and the manager of Divya Pharmacy fired 90 labourers who were demanding minimum wages. Later, others also joined in. After 16 days of strike, a tripartite agreement was reached between the Labour Commissioner (Haridwar), Divya Yog Mandir Trust (Kankhal) and the labourers after which the Trust agreed to pay minimum wages. But the very next day, they weren’t allowed to enter the factory premises, and 114 labourers were fired. The matter is still pending with the Labour Commission.<br />
Illegal land reclamation: On a tip-off from the villagers, the Tehelka team on its visit to Yogagram, found that the Ratmau River was being filled to reclaim land. On a stretch of around half a kilometre in length, the river was being filled for approximately 20 metres in width. The village Thakur, Ajab Singh Chauhan claims that Ramdev diverted the river to his farms during the last monsoon which rendered 500 bigha land infertile.<br />
Ramdev's refusal to name a "corrupt minister": Ramdev caused an uproar in November last year when he said that a minister in Uttarakhand had asked him for a Rs 2 crore bribe to get some work done. He even dragged the Chief Minister, Bhuvan Chandra Khanduri saying that when he complained to him, the CM simply said that the minister should have asked for the money as funds for the party. In response, the CM immediately called a press conference announcing that Ramdev had never complained against the minister and even challenged Ramdev to name the minister. He also warned that he would file a case of defamation against Ramdev. But Ramdev remained silent and did not disclose the minister's name. Uttarakhand Kranti Dal's chairman, Trivendra Singh Pawar claims that Ramdev - who started the drive against corruption- lost the fight on moral grounds when Ramdev instead of naming the minister who demanded a Rs 2 crore bribe, chose to remain silent.<br />

</b><br />
Haider arrived in London on Monday and in an interview broadcast by a private television channel on Tuesday, said he had discussed his status with immigration officials and “according to their rules, I will have to follow this procedure.” </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: white; line-height: normal;">“I understand there is rule in Britain that if you are on right and if you are not a criminal, then they always protect you,” Haider said.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: white; line-height: normal;">Haider would not identify who threatened him or the nature of the threats that prompted him to flee the team hotel in Dubai and fly out to England without telling anyone.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: white; line-height: normal;">“I was approached by one person who asked me to fix the fourth and fifth match and there would be problem for me if I did not do it,” Haider said.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: white; line-height: normal;">“I do not want to say who is involved and who is not involved in the match fixing.”</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: white; line-height: normal;">The alleged threats came after he scored the winning run in the fourth one-day international against South Africa on Friday to clinch a one-wicket victory for Pakistan, thereby foiling an alleged plan to allow South Africa to win the game.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: white; line-height: normal;">“The country is like a mother and any one who sells it cannot get anything in life,” Haider said.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: white; line-height: normal;">“I did not want to sell my mother, I did not want to sell my country and I did what I thought was better.”</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: white; line-height: normal;">Following the game, Haider asked a Pakistan Cricket Board official for his passport, pretending that he needed it to buy a mobile phone connection, and then left the hotel to fly to London.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: white; line-height: normal;">“I did not do what I was asked to do in the fourth one-dayer and I also did not let it happen what was being asked to do, so this is the reason that I left it and came here and I did what I felt better,” he said.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: white; line-height: normal;">Haider would not detail the threats made to him, but Pakistan police had beefed up security at his house in Lahore, according to senior police official Sahahzada Salim, “to avoid any untoward incident.”</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: white; line-height: normal;">“I cannot say what kind of threats I have received as my family is still in Pakistan,” Haider said, adding his reluctance to provide details was in the interests of family safety.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: white; line-height: normal;">Haider said he was new in Pakistan cricket and did not have enough money to hire a lawyer to represent him in the immigration case or any future legal disputes. He said he would approach some of his friends in London as he seeks a place to stay.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: white; line-height: normal;">The alleged threats and match fixing were the latest setback for a Pakistan team that has been troubled by matters off the pitch.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: white; line-height: normal;">In August, Salman Butt, Mohammad Amir and Mohammad Asif were accused of involvement in an alleged betting scandal during a test in England.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: white; line-height: normal;">The ICC described the allegations against the trio as the sport’s biggest fixing scandal in decades. It charged the trio with corruption in September and suspended them after a British tabloid sting alleged money was paid for bowling no-balls at prearranged times against England to fix spot-betting markets.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: white; line-height: normal;">On Sunday, Pakistan’s team manager Intikhab Alam told The Associated that Haider and two other players had been fined for breaking curfew during the team’s series with South Africa.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: white; line-height: normal;">Alam said opener Shahzaib Hasan, spinner Abdul Rehman and Haider were fined 500 dirhams ($136) for staying out late in Abu Dhabi, where the series began last month.

<span style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: white;">The new global power lineup for 2010 also predicted that New Delhi's clout in the world will further rise by 2025, according to 'Global Governance 2025' jointly issued by the National Intelligence Council (NIC) of the US and the European Union's Institute for Security Studies (EUISS).</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: white;">Using the insights of a host of experts from Brazil, Russia, India and China, among others, and fictionalised scenarios, the report illustrates what could happen over the next 25 years in terms of global governance.</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: white;">In 2010, the US tops the list of powerful countries/regions, accounting for nearly 22 percent of the global power.</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: white;">The US is followed by China with European Union at 16 percent and India at eight percent. India is followed by Japan, Russia and Brazil with less than five percent each.</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: white;">According to this international futures model, by 2025 the power of the US, EU, Japan and Russia will decline while that of China, India and Brazil will increase, even though there will be no change in this listing.</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: white;">By 2025, the US will still be the most powerful country of the world, but it will have a little over 18 percent of the global power.</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: white;">The US will be closely followed by China with 16 percent, European Union with 14 percent and India with 10 per cent.</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: white;">'The growing number of issues on the international agenda, and their complexity, is outpacing the ability of international organisations and national governments to cope,' the report warns.</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: white;">This critical turning point includes issues of climate change, ethnic and regional conflicts, new technology, and the managing of natural resources.</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: white;">The report also highlights the challenges proponents of effective global governance face.</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: white;">On one hand, rapid globalistion, economic and otherwise, has led to an intertwining of domestic politics and international issues and fueled the need for more cooperation and more effective leadership.</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: white;">But on the other hand, an increasingly multipolar world, often dominated by non-state actors, have put a snag in progress toward effectual global governance, it said.</span><br />

<span style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />

<span style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"></span><br />
<span style="color: white;">After the attacks, all that was found of Abdoul-Karim Traoré, a cook at the Windows on the World restaurant, were his leather wallet, his identification cards and a few coins.</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: white;">“I like to go down there and pray and see the place and remember,” said Mrs. Traoré, a native of Ivory Coast who came to the United States in 1997. “When I go there, I feel closer to him. And him to me. I pray for him, too.”</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: white;">When she prays, she calls God Allah. Mrs. Traoré, 40, says praying in the pit feels entirely natural, even if some of those standing with her — widows and widowers, parents and children — blame her religion for the destruction of that day.</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: white;">“That’s not fair,” she said. “It’s not because of Allah that these buildings fell.”</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />

<span style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: white;">Mrs. Traoré is the widow of one of roughly 60 Muslim victims — cooks, businessmen, emergency responders and airline passengers — believed to have died on 9/11. It is a group that has been little examined, and no precisely reliable count of their ranks exists. But their stories, when told, have frequently been offered as counterweights in the latest public argument over terrorism and Islam.</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: white;">Mrs. Traoré works the overnight shift as a nurse’s assistant at Jacobi Medical Center in the Bronx. She loves to cook: peanut sauce and doughy fritters are her specialties. She has a wide smile and a raspy laugh. Her life, a juggling act of homework, bills and prayer, is one Sept. 11 story — the kind of personal account Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg and others have sought to highlight amid the debate over a planned Islamic community center near the pit where Ms. Traoré prays every September.</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: white;">Over the past nine years, Mrs. Traoré has lived a kind of dual life. She is a 9/11 widow struggling to raise her children, cope with her loss and tame her anger. The trials of her days would ring familiar to single mothers and fathers from Staten Island to Washington. But she is also a Muslim woman, both devoted to her faith and conscious of the discomfort it can evoke in her adopted homeland.</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: white;">She wears Western clothes when she shops at Costco. But she wears a robe and head scarf when she visits her mosque in the Bronx. When she is in her religious attire, she can sense a shift as people on the street appear to regard her with suspicion.</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: white;">“When people run away from me, I feel sad,” she said. “But I understand why they’re doing that. What happened was terrible.”</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: white;">Her two sons, Souleymane, 11, and Siaka, 9, attend a Roman Catholic school near their home. During prayer, they sit in the back of the classroom with the few other non-Catholic students. They feel comfortable there, but they, too, have hidden their religion from schoolyard bullies. Mrs. Traoré received government money from the Sept. 11 compensation fund, and she said she was both unsurprised by and grateful for the American generosity.</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: white;">Mrs. Traoré is also frustrated and troubled, she said, that so many Americans find it impossible to separate the pious of her faith from its fanatics. But it has not buckled her beliefs.</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: white;">“I’m proud to be Muslim,” she said. “I’m going to be Muslim until God takes my spirit.”</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: white;">Africa and New York</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: white;">Mrs. Traoré met her husband in 1990 in Abidjan, Ivory Coast. He was a handsome mechanic, she worked at a health clinic, and they quickly fell in love. They married in 1992, and she was pregnant the next year. Before their daughter was born, however, Mr. Traoré moved to New York in search of a better life. Mrs. Traoré followed four years later.</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: white;">They lived, at first, in the Parkchester section of the Bronx. She braided women’s hair and spent most of her time with other West Africans. She felt comfortable in the city and never felt the need to hide her religion.</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: white;">Mr. Traoré first worked delivering groceries; later he got a job as a cook at the restaurant inside the American Museum of Natural History, and then came the opportunity at Windows on the World. He worked the 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. shift, which allowed him to make extra money delivering USA Today in the early morning.</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: white;">Mr. Traoré never met his daughter, Djenebou, a quiet 17-year-old who now looks after her brothers as something of a surrogate parent. Unable to move to the United States with her mother, she grew up with relatives in Ivory Coast, and came to New York in 2002 after receiving “humanitarian parole.”</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: white;">Their home, a jumble of New York and Africa, is filled with the laugh track of Disney Channel sitcoms and the smell of peanut stew. A pile of shoes lies by the door — leopard-print Timberland boots, shiny high-top sneakers, slippers, sandals and high heels.</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: white;">Mrs. Traoré keeps hand-drawn Mother’s Day cards taped to her bedroom door and posters of Mecca taped to the living room walls. Those walls could use a fresh coat of paint, and the ragged carpet has seen better days. But the family is busy, and the house is well loved, a refuge from the rough streets of Hunts Point outside.</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: white;">Mrs. Traoré is strict — she keeps her children indoors or in their small backyard — and she tries to limit television to an hour a day. Djenebou spends much of her time checking Facebook and juggling instant messages, but her sessions are routinely interrupted by the call to prayer, which Mrs. Traoré has set to issue from the family laptop’s speakers.</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: white;">Mrs. Traoré wants her children to pray, but that can take some nudging. They pray together in her bedroom, and they have long, quiet conversations about their religion. And on Fridays, they visit a ground-floor mosque nearby on Southern Boulevard that sits opposite a graffiti-covered junkyard, down the street from El Mundo Department Store.</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: white;">“I tell them we have to believe in God, you have to pray,” she said.</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: white;">While she finishes her overnight shift at the hospital, the children get themselves up and prepare their bowls of cereal. She calls when she is five minutes away so they can jump in the car and race to school. “We’re always late,” she said. “Always, always.”</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: white;">She sleeps until 3 p.m., and then picks them up from after-school programs, prepares dinner, reviews homework and checks backpacks before leaving for another night shift.</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: white;">“I’m the father and mother now,” she said.</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: white;">‘He Went to Work’</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: white;">Mrs. Traoré can barely discuss Sept. 11, 2001, without tears pooling in her eyes. “He went to work,” she said. “That’s it.”</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: white;">She remembers her husband praying and getting dressed for his first job of the day, delivering newspapers, but it was too early for them to speak. She woke up at 8 a.m. for what was to be her second day of formal English classes. Though she had spent four years in New York, she knew only rudimentary phrases.</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: white;">As she was hurrying to leave, her brother-in-law called to ask if Abdoul had gone to the World Trade Center. Yes, of course. Like always. He told her to turn on the television.</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: white;">She saw the towers burning, but she could not understand what the newscasters were saying. She began crying, dialing her husband’s cellphone “again, again, again.” Relatives rushed to the apartment to translate the TV for her.</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: white;">For two weeks, Mrs. Traoré barely slept. She called her husband’s phone repeatedly and visited a string of hospitals in search of him. She did not tell her children what she most feared.</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: white;">“I just said he went away,” she remembered. “I said he’s coming, he’s coming.”</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: white;">Souleymane, then 3, struggled. He insisted, for whatever reason, on sleeping on sheets that were perfectly white. A social worker advised her to tell the children what happened, and nine years later they still have not made peace with their father’s death.</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: white;">“I want to ask why they did that,” Souleymane said on a recent afternoon. “If they were mad at somebody, they could have sorted it out instead of starting a war.”</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: white;">Mr. Traoré’s remains were never found, but his wallet was recovered intact, as if he had only forgotten it on the nightside table. For years, Souleymane kept it as a totem.</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: white;">Soon after the attacks, the family moved from Parkchester to a three-story home in Hunts Point that Mr. Traoré had found before he died. His brother, a taxi driver, lives on the top floor. A family friend from Ivory Coast lives on the second floor. Mrs. Traoré has support. She is not one to live in the past, even if her busy life allowed for more reflection.</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: white;">“Life has never been normal, but it’s better,” she said. “I still miss him. But it’s not horrible like before.”</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: white;">‘Everything Has Changed’</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: white;">If the attacks forever upended her family, they also altered her understanding of America, and her place in this country.</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: white;">“After 9/11, everything has changed,” she said. “At the beginning after 9/11, they were saying terrorists are all Islamic people. But terrorists and the religious people are different. God doesn’t say kill people.”</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: white;">At home, the river of mail and bills never stops, a deluge her husband managed so smoothly. She still struggles with English. Perhaps the one part of her world that has remained fixed is her faith.</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: white;">“My children are Muslim and my parents are Muslim,” she said. “I read the Koran and I am proud.”</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: white;">Islam, indeed, acts as the ballast of her life. “It puts me in the right direction, and it protects me from doing bad things,” she said.</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: white;">She does not blame God for her husband’s death. “That was my husband’s destiny,” she said.</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: white;">If they had stayed in Ivory Coast, she reasons, perhaps he would have fallen fatally ill. “I’m praying to God to make me strong to protect them and raise them,” she said of her children. “I believe God is helping me because my children here are growing and they’re healthy and I’m doing my work.”</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: white;">“I move closer to prayer, closer to God, and I thank him,” she said. “I keep praying to God to make me strong.”</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: white;">On Friday, she will have a birthday party for Siaka. He has asked for ice cream cake. On Saturday, Sept. 11, the family will return to ground zero. And she will pray to Allah.</span><br />
