Democratic Egypt Tests a Divided Israel

By Shaul Magid

…Israel’s leader is well aware that Mubarak has protected the fragile peace between Israel and Egypt, and that Mubarak has consistently marginalized the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood from Egyptian politics. And indeed, it’s true that if Mubarak steps down and democracy ensues the Brotherhood (with the backing of 35% of Egyptians, according to recent polls) will likely enter a new unity government. The fact that the Brotherhood has agreed to back the…

4 Reasons Why Egypt’s Revolution Is Not Islamic

By Haroon Moghul

…dly to such a reading, but there you have it.) That difference in dynamics between Egypt and Iran needs to be stressed. While Iran’s Shah campaigned against Islam and sought to erase its role in Persian history and culture, Mubarak never attacked Islam with anywhere near the same vehemence. He’s far more concerned with preserving power for himself than he is with rewriting Egyptian history (unfortunately for his prospects of remaining in power, he…

…ownright bizarre things “Cussing Pastor” Mark Driscoll says, usually while promoting a new book, as well as the ensuing negative publicity and essays critical of Mark Driscoll, which somehow increase the popularity of Mark Driscoll’s new book. Mark Driscoll has a new book coming out, and with suspiciously good timing, he’s managed to initiate back to back controversies.

…rica’s past. The organization, which champions faith and defends religious freedom, sent a letter to top publishing companies. Rev. Dr. C. Welton Gaddy, president of Interfaith Alliance, said: The Texas SBOE members certainly are entitled to believe whatever they want about our country and its history. The problem arises when their religious beliefs begin to essentially rewrite history for our children. Separation of church and state was a core t…

You Can Take The Boy Out of the Crack House: MyPillow CEO’s New Book Promo Has Deep Roots in American Christianity

By Daniel Schultz

…It might as well be as old as Moses, given what a commonplace it is for right-wing Christians. The rest of it is a chestnut of its own. We ought to just be grateful that Lindell isn’t enforcing coronavirus rectitude with a hatchet. (Carrie Nation was also an unabashed self-promoter, by the way.) It’s a strand that goes back to Wesleyan perfectionism and Calvinist propriety, some of the deepest roots of American religion. It may look like faith se…

By Peter Montgomery

…powers of autonomy. A draft bylaw sent to AFP on Saturday outlaws anal sex between men and “the rubbing of body parts between women for stimulation”, and for the first time applies Islamic laws and punishments to non-Muslims. The bylaw also punishes adultery with 100 lashes of the cane. The bylaw reinforces previous sharia legislation that bans alcohol consumption, gambling, fraternising between unmarried men and women, and physical displays of af…

Turkey and Egypt: Islam’s Future?

By Haroon Moghul

…her spheres. The most popular Qur’an reciters, for example, are dominantly Egyptian. Let’s hope Egypt develops democratically; in that case, very quickly we’ll see Egypt’s religious culture birth new movements and tendencies which seek to marry their historical religious legitimacy and the energy of their recent revolution. Without a doubt, Egypt has played a key and perhaps unparalleled role in the last two centuries of Middle Eastern Islam, and…

Paranoia Over Foreigners in Egypt Eclipsed by Cooperation

By H.A. Hellyer

…the crowd, or donated by the tea-shop owner – its just another part of the Egypt I have always known. But the Egypt I have known would never have seen people feeling free to voice their criticisms of the president so strongly or openly – that type of attitude certainly existed prior to this uprising, but was limited to private meetings, or outside of Egypt. In that Square, while it is still the same country that we have always known, there was som…

Four Reasons Why Egypt’s Revolution Is Islamic

By Zaid Hassan

…mmentary on Egypt. The argument that this is not an Islamic revolution because Egypt in 2011 is unlike Iran in 1979 or that the Muslim Brotherhood lacks a Khomeini-like figure does not actually tell us anything about the nature of this particular revolution. Less than a month ago the myth of Arab Authoritarianism was intact. For decades, scholars pondered the so called “puzzle” of “Arab exceptionalism” while scratching their heads as to why the…

Egypt’s ’Secular’ Gov Uses Religion as Tool of Repression

By Mohamad Elmasry

…ri’ah as the primary source of legislation. Three factors make the current Egyptian regime’s use of religion significant, however. First, the regime took power in a cataclysmic event apparently aimed at saving the country from a group, the Muslim Brotherhood, allegedly bent on exploiting religion for political gain; second, the post-coup government has suggested that secularism is a safer political path, as evidenced by its decision to ban religio…
