Rage Against the New Age Machine: Three Days at the Osho International Meditation Resort

By Diane Winston

…my worst possible self. That’s almost true. I took my journalism class to India this past spring to cover the role of religion in the recent election. I’d done similar trips before to Israel and Ireland, but this time I wanted the students to have more than a fleeting encounter with the religion they were covering. During a previous trip to India, the class had visited one of Delhi’s Hanuman temples, where the synesthetic overload of traditional…

By Joseph Laycock

…d it’s certainly not going to affect persecution in Paraguay, Nigeria, and Saudi Arabia. So why waste the energy? At stake in the outrage over the Time article is a religious identity constructed around the history of “The Burning Times” and a sympathy with the oppressed. In 1921, Margaret Murray published her book The Witch Cult in Western Europe, in which she asserted that witches had been practitioners of a pre-Christian goddess-centered religi…

…ng Administration was serious when he made the claim. A couple of cases in Saudi Arabia demonstrate a growing discontent with the volunteer morality police: when questioned about their relationship to their male companions, two women in separate instances became physical.

…ave to know where your flight is going. As it happens my flight will enter Saudi Arabia from a non-Muslim majority country, France, so will land in Jeddah, the transitional port. However, since my next stop is Makkah, and Jeddah is closer to it than any of the five miqat, then technically I have to make my intention and take on the ihram before I leave the U.S. (or in France, or mid-air). Everybody says it is great to clean up again in Jeddah wher…

T-Shirts and Minarets: The Rending of the Social Contract

By Hussein Rashid

…e refrain one hears is that there is no religious freedom in Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia is atrocious when it comes to matters of religious freedom. However, they do not claim to embrace the Enlightenment or difference. It does not seem to be a good idea to race to the bottom of the barrel when it comes to rights. Either rights are good thing or they are not. It should not be a matter of “rights are good thing, but if no one else is doing it, why s…

…ve their own constitutional order (even if not a written constitution like Saudi Arabia), legal systems, penal codes, etc. It is therefore misleading to invoke general principles of Shari`a, even if we accept for the sake of argument that they may have applied in the pre-colonial era, as if they are the legal system of nation states today. Apostasy is only a crime in the penal codes of four or five out of the 40 Muslim-majority countries today. Dr…

Is ISIS A Sign of the End Times? It May Only Matter That They Believe So

By Haroon Moghul

…proxies. In the past, of course, when terrified of Soviet military might, Saudi Arabia and other Muslim governments funneled weapons and cash to those who would fight them in Afghanistan. Why would this time be any different? If only, perhaps, worse. Our ten years in Iraq accomplished what, exactly? The country is in shambles, and there is an Islamic State where there was none before. Russian intervention in Syria, however, could be worse. First,…
