It’s like local political version of ‘Saturday Night Live.’ “Since my intended humorous context was lost in translation, I apologize. I still believe Ms. Haley is pretending to be someone she is not, much as Obama did, but I apologize to both for an unintended slur.” But, as the Free Times reports…

…at remain) has been attacked or threatened, is evidence of the strong ties between Christian and Muslim in this country. Seeing the immensely polite attitude of people searching those coming into Tahrir.

By Zaid Hassan

…des. It ensures that the US makes public proclamations about democracy and freedom, while in reality, democracy is subsumed and sacrificed every day to self-interest, be that oil or domestic support for Israel. Realpolitik ideologues fear the unleashing of Arab democracy, because in the battle for resources, for alliances and for fraternity, they have largely sided against Muslims. Muslims, and Arabs in particular, have been conditioned by decad…

By Kasai Rex

…tion. As Rev. Osagyefo Sekou has noted here on RD, this has led to discord between activists and black churches with the former accusing the latter of Civil Rights era “respectability politics.” As Black Lives Matter has gained a foothold in the American consciousness, the sentiment among some in the city has become, if your pastors aren’t directly speaking to the challenges we face in the headlines and in the household, perhaps it might be time t…

By Haroon Moghul

…owers that would have to be involved: Indonesia and Turkey. Indonesia, because it is the world’s largest Muslim democracy, and is far enough away to be presumed neutral. More important still is Turkey, the power in the region with the diplomatic skill and flexibility to handle this charge. If we ask ourselves, who else would the Egyptian people trust, we would find ourselves forced to admit that in the last week we have lost what little leverage w…

Democratic Egypt Tests a Divided Israel

By Shaul Magid

…tant forces in the government and its citizenry and end the occupation because it is the right thing to do—right for them and right for the Palestinians—the Arab street in Egypt may take notice. These are fluid times. Egyptians are in an expansive mood and the Arab world in general is tasting freedom. A window has cracked open across the border that Israel can either help widen or else it can join Mubarak on the wrong side of history. Perhaps this…
