…rumpian candidate for Congress in 2020. (Feucht will be much in the news in 2024, because of his campaign with Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA youth organization to promote Donald Trump.)

Feucht was a volunteer worship leader at Bethel Church, headed by Apostle Bill Johnson, and went on to form his own ministry Burn 2…

Sharbat Gula’s Experience Exemplifies the ‘White Savior’ Lens Through Which Most Americans View Afghanistan

By Sara Kamali

…which many Americans have singularly viewed and continue to view Afghans, Afghanistan, and the US-led invasion of Sharbat’s nation of birth. This approach to Afghans and Afghanistan diminishes the agency of Afghans themselves, reducing their rich culture to a simplistic narrative of warfare, and determining the foreign governance and institutional infrastructure of the nation for decades. In 1984, Sharbat Gula’s photo was taken without her consen…

Gandhi, his Grandson, Israel, and the Jews

…s concern for making distinctions between the Jewish situation and that of Indians in South Africa and India. Buber addresses the Mahatma respectfully: I have been very slow in writing this letter to you, Mahatma. I made repeated pauses—sometimes days elapsed between short paragraphs—in order to test my knowledge and my way of thinking.

…spike in social unrest. Despite the complex nature of identity politics in India, one thing is more apparent: the unease with which Indians of all faiths are dealing with the conversation about conversion, as well as its ramifications beyond the country’s borders.

The Biggest Lesson Learned From the US War in Afghanistan is How Little We’ve Learned

By Sara Kamali

The tragedy that is Afghanistan was avoidable from the beginning had the United States regarded Afghans as human beings rather than pawns in a decades-long proxy war which preceded 9/11. As the current status of the Taliban makes clear, military might has not been—and will not be—an effective primary tool to achieve national security in Afghanista…

Oppose Afghanistan But Not a Pacifist? Tough.

By Gabriella Lettini

…s, as documented in the film Sir, No Sir. Most debates about both Iraq and Afghanistan have focused on whether or not they are winnable. The president’s speech in Oslo, however, raised the bar to moral grounds. He tried to defend his decision to escalate Afghanistan by contrasting the nonviolent principles of previous Nobel laureates, Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr., with the principles of just war that have informed the Nuremberg Principles and…
