Does It Matter If Islam Is A Religion? An American Ahmadi Explains The Effects Of Religious Discrimination

By Daniel Schultz

…facto decisions about what counts as a religion and what doesn’t. The tax code makes implicit judgments about religious legitimacy in parceling out breaks to some groups and not others. Those rules, however, are fairly broad, and they don’t target certain religions as enemies of American society. Throughout the 2016 campaign, Trump made repeated promises to curb Muslim immigration to the United States and institute a registry of Muslims in the co…

A New Book Traces the Influence of Racism and Imperialism on White Christian Feminism

By Caroline Matas

…to Laura Bush’s 2001 radio address on the Taliban’s oppression of women in Afghanistan. In this famous speech, the First Lady contrasts the “brutal” Taliban with the distress and concern of “civilized people around the world,” ending with a call to Americans to be “especially thankful for all of the blessings of American life.” And yet, in one important way, Bush diverges from her Protestant forebears. Describing the Taliban as inimical not just t…

This World Refugee Day, Rising White Nationalism Meets the Largest Refugee Population in History — Which is No Coincidence

By Sara Kamali

…as an unexpected site of war, because it was “civilized,’’ unlike “Iraq or Afghanistan, that has seen conflict raging for decades.” Though D’Agata provided a formulaic apology soon thereafter, if not for the failure to recognize that the lack of “civility” in Iraq and Afghanistan could be attributed to US-led war, then because his choice of words revealed the mindset of many, from celebrities to individuals, who’ve converged to provide an outpouri…

This Narrative of Death that is So Powerful Among Us

By Daniel Schultz

…ush for the wars. I heard a guy the other day say on NPR, “We will stay in Afghanistan until we can’t afford it anymore. We will never find a reason to leave, we will never arrive at a victory, but we will finally have to quit.” I think the judgment that we can’t afford it—we’re probably not very far from that. Dan: I think I saw the figure the other day that it costs us about a million dollars for every insurgent we’ve killed in Afghanistan. ** W…

…out Obama’s recalibrated Afghanistan policy, “Pressing the Reset Button on Afghanistan.” Former UN Ambassador John Bolton recently ridiculed the notion of “pressing the reset button” with Russia, calling it a “bumper-sticker slogan” that “is entirely consistent with the new administration’s endless-campaign mindset.” Venezuela president Hugo Chavez recently said that he is “willing to use the reset button” regarding U.S.-Venezuela relations.

Interview with Karen Armstrong

…e been traumatic and have even become chronic: the Middle East, Palestine, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Kashmir. In regard to the Arab-Israeli conflict, you have said that for Muslims it has become “a symbol of their impotence in the modern world.” What does that really mean? The Arab-Israeli conflict began, on both sides, as a purely secular conflict about a land. Zionism began as a rebellion against religious Judaism; and at the outset most Orthodox r…

…s weak and the rest of the world knows it. Boykin cites US withdrawal from Afghanistan as the worst failure in US history which, as Chang confirms, encouraged Russia to invade Ukraine and has made China bolder in its threats to invade Taiwan. Youssef cheers the efforts of missionaries to convert Afghani civilians to Christianity in the two decades since the US invasion of Afghanistan, and argues forcefully for Christian Afghanis to be resettled an…

Shari’ah (Panic) Threatens the Constitution

By Sarah Posner

…e insist that it is. Terry Jones is a despicable man, and the marauders in Afghanistan who killed UN workers and others have committed unspeakable crimes. We can agree that both things are true, and also agree that Jones’ Qur’an burning was unpopular but protected free speech, and that the angry mobs in Afghanistan don’t represent all Muslims. If you want to game all the possible Constitution-threatening ramifications of the Obama administration’s…

Al-Qaeda calls Obama “house Negro,” Muslims Answer

By Fatemeh Fakhraie

…ma’s policies in the Middle East revolve around moving troops from Iraq to Afghanistan and taking a harder stance on Pakistan (both countries with strong al-Qaeda presences), al-Zawahiri is obviously reacting out of panic. Obama’s promises to end the war in Iraq, close Guantanamo Bay, and use more diplomacy in the Muslim world all translate to more international cooperation from the US and less support for al-Qaeda. Without international support,…

Qur’an-Burning Pastor Says It’s Time “To Hold Islam Accountable”

By Sarah Posner

…or the Qur’an-burning Terry Jones, the murders of UN workers and others in Afghanistan proves his point: that Islam is a violent religion. Jones apparently sought such a response. “There was somewhat of an awareness that there could be a violent reaction,” he told a British news service today. In a press release distributed through the Christian Newswire service, Jones issued a statement defending his Qur’an burning on the grounds that the resulti…
