1 / 15

They are France's millions-strong minority with a voice that usually falls silent at election time. But this year, there is a special new effort to mobilize French Muslims to speak up at the ballot box in Sunday's presidential race. (AP Photo/Jacques Brinon, File)

  • Freefall

    A homeless man begs for money while an artist paints for tourists in the Plaza Mayor, in Madrid, Monday, April 30, 2012. Spain's National Statistics Institute announce on Monday that Spain is officially back in recession as the country's economy shrank 0.3 percent in the first quarter compared to the previous three months. This is Spain's second recession in three years. Spain's economic problems have become the focus of Europe's debt crisis as investors worry over Spain's ability to push through austerity measures and reforms at a time of recession and an unemployment rate hitting 24 per cent - or 50 per cent for those aged under 25. Late last week, S&P downgraded the country's credit rating by two notches from A to BBB+, citing a worsening budget deficit, worries over the banking system, and poor economic prospects.(AP Photo/Daniel Ochoa de Olza)
