So You’ve Decided to Run for Senate Against a Pro Wrestling Mogul

…American who was fed up with post-9/11 American jingoism, and rampant anti-Arab discrimination. The character, along with his Arab sidekick, Khosrow Daivairi, would sometimes end his anti-American tirades by raising his hands to the sky in praise of Allah. The duo enacted the far-Right’s paranoid delusion of who really pulled the strings in organizations like the Council on American-Islamic Relations: America-hating religious fanatics, bent on the…

No One Can Tell I’m a Muslim: All-American Muslim Debuts

…vert, may just propel the show into another set of tropes: all Muslims are Arabs, all Arabs are Muslim, and all Muslims are immigrants. Indeed some Muslims are Arab, some Arabs are Muslim, and some Muslims are immigrants. But many are not. Many will celebrate the show, and those who do may read this review (if they get this far) as a killjoy—after all there is only so much a TV show can do. After all, even with all its imperfections All-American M…

Is Liberalism Islamic?: An Interview with Mustafa Akyol

…and Pomaks who have been living in that country for centuries. As for the Arab Spring, I am of course very supportive of it, for it is toppling or challenging the dictators who oppressed Arab societies for decades. (Right now, I am keeping my fingers crossed for the fall of the Baath tyranny Syria.) But democracies—let alone liberal democracies—do not emerge overnight, and the post-revolutionary countries will need some time and lots of effort to…

YouTube Terrorism

…ght such destruction at hypersensitive urban nodes in the rapidly changing Arab Muslim world. What seems more and more likely is that the video itself was simply the pretext for a pre-planned attack, likely by al-Qaeda operatives or sympathizers. But that still raises the question: how did a B movie get rendered into Arabic, then used to justify an attack on American sites overseas? The two principles—freedom of speech and protection of American d…

Pope Denounces Gender Colonization; Indonesian Court Considers Islamist Request To Criminalize Homosexuality; Egypt’s Grand Mufti Says No One Has Right to Harm Homosexuals; Global LGBT Recap

…e open-minded, really educated people that speak at least three languages, Arab gay guys who are actually not so far from the Western [way of] life and can talk at the same eye level as Western people… I identify with almost 80 percent of the Arab world because there is at least 20 percent that I cannot even relate to. I’m talking about fanatic Islam and I’m talking about Muslims that are homophobic. But 80 percent of the Arab world today are figh…

How 95% of Jewish Israelis Support a ‘Plausible’ Genocide

…or providing service in Arab Israeli villages. Jews are afraid to shop at Arab stores or hire Arab employees. You never know, maybe they support terrorism? For Jewish Israelis, the myriad of reports carefully documenting Israeli apartheid, the Israeli army’s use of human shields, starvation as a weapon of war, and now a plausible genocide violate a basic principle of Jewish life in Israel: namely, that the Israeli Defense Forces are, at the end o…

Ross Douthat on the Brink

…terrible assaults in Cologne as not the fault of several dozen youth, but Arab and Muslim culture entirely, the kind of conclusion we’d expect from a Pamela Geller, or a Tommy Robinson. Not a New York Times columnist. Speaking of the large numbers of mostly male refugees entering Germany and Western Europe, Douthat writes that “many of these men carry assumptions about women’s roles that are diametrically opposed to the values of contemporary Eur…

…” Miller writes that the article “has sparked a flurry of condemnations by Arab civil society, shining a light on a usually suppressed debate on gay rights.” Khatib’s comments quickly drew fire from Israeli Arabs on social media, who attacked both the style and content of his article. “Dear Kamal Khatib, how can any self-respecting person write an article titled ‘You make me sick?” wrote social activist and Arabic teacher Hanin Majadli to her 4,00…

#Occupy: A Deeper Form of Protest?

…m shifts. In this regard, comparisons to the Arab Spring are mistaken; the Arab Spring had clear demands (step down!) and focused on the key issues which united diverse constituencies (constituencies which, as in Egypt, are now busy fighting one another). Here, in contrast, there are no clear demands. And while there are some threads that unite everybody, there are also lots of split ends, digressions into issues which divide us. Working Americans…
