[New York Times]

A man who went on a post-9/11 race-motivated killing spree is scheduled to be executed on Wednesday.  One of his victims, however, is fighting against the death sentence, citing his Muslim faith as the reason. [CNN]

The Dalai Lama’s visit to Chicago sparks unity among people from several different faith traditions. [Chicago Tribune]
