Dispatches From the Site of a Massacre

By Haroon Moghul

…t “real Islam” is 1) not to be found in Indonesia, but 2) found instead in Saudi Arabia or Iran, where it’s magically “unadulterated,” 3) therefore revealing real Islam as irredeemably toxic. Muslims themselves deploy a similar language, tying Arabness and Islam or Pakistani-ness and Islam, judging any other experience inferior and derivative. But Islam has been in Bosnia for as long as it’s been in much of India, where my family’s from. It’s pos…

“The Left” and Islamists to Bring Down Judeo-Christian America

By Julie Ingersoll

…don’t know where the money comes from before asserting that it comes from Saudi Arabia) in “residential neighborhoods where there are no Muslims… If you build it they will come.” But building a worship center isn’t a protected religious right, according to Guandolo, “this isn’t about the First Amendment it’s about Article 6 of the Constitution.” Ironically, while Article 6 lays out the sovereignty of the laws of the United States. it is also proh…

What Does Shari’ah Mean?

By Hussein Rashid

…terpretations. It takes a certain amount of mind-twisting logic to look at Saudi Arabia’s laws that it calls shari’ah, where women are not allowed to drive and Iran’s laws that it calls shari’ah, where women are integral part of the government, and say that these systems form a unitary whole. There are certain laws that come out of Qur’an for which all Muslims agree are clear limits. These include commands not to murder, not to steal, to give char…

5 Reasons the Muslim Brotherhood Won’t Turn On Israel

By Haroon Moghul

…s it always has. We hear Newt Gingrich say all sorts of things about Saudi Arabia, but do we really think that if Newt Gingrich was in power he would suddenly drop that alliance? The Brotherhood’s position on foreign policy reflects to some degree a wider Arab and Muslim opinion on the region, and a vacuum in power which has emerged since America’s relative decline in the region has become increasingly obvious. We’ll simply see more countries pla…

The Risks of Remaining Neutral on Egypt

By Haroon Moghul

…our traditional allies in the region; especially Israel, Egypt, Jordan and Saudi Arabia—something Mubarak is well aware of. Because Iran and the resistance it claims to lead has for now stymied our aspirations for Lebanon, we might be tempted to do whatever we can to preserve the “moderate” Arab regimes (here, “moderate” implies a secular dictatorship and nothing more) and make sure our interests suffer no further reversals. It’s all too easy for…

Updated with Audio: Secular Good, Muslim Bad: Unveiling Tunisia’s Revolution

By Haroon Moghul

…The Sudan, there are of course strong restrictions around women’s dress in Saudi Arabia. That’s possibly 2 countries for the other side. (In fact, in the whole Muslim world, only two other countries legally mandate the veil: Iran and Afghanistan.) There must be an explanation for why a journalist would make such a broad, unsubstantiated statement, and it returns us to the simple need to define Arabs as either secular (like us) or religious (unlike…

Frank Gaffney Appointed to Clarion Fund Board

By Sarah Posner

…in Alexandria, Virginia, called it “the protocols of the learned elders of Saudi Arabia,” when I interviewed him for a story I wrote two years ago. In that story, I reported on how the Clarion Fund was founded by officials with the ultra-orthodox Jewish group Aish HaTorah, although Ronn Torossian, the group’s spokesperson, denied official involvement. (Torossian represents other right-wing religious individuals and organizations; after the Washing…

My Lowest Point

By Amina Wadud

…oint, and this party of five would see me through until my entire visit to Saudi Arabia was completed. It is not true that my only contribution was 100 riyal. When we left the Ramy Jamarat, I was the only one who knew the way back to our tents in Mina because I had carefully plotted the course from the first time I made Ramy with our tour leader. We rejoined our camp around 11 p.m.—then, my last night in Mina was over. One last Ramy Jamarat and I…

Sacrifice

By Amina Wadud

…stones at each of them in turn. If I had my way I would do this first, because symbolically one is stoning one’s own personal demons. But then I guess, if you think about it, it is sort of like what they say about any vice that you try to get rid of. You are tempted to backslide. So maybe this as a moment of clarifying whatever it is that reduces the person from sustaining the state of ritual and moral purity that the day on Arafat has granted. So…

Jesus, Carpet Bomb My Heart: An Undercover Muslim in Detroit

By Haroon Moghul

…al closed with his conversion story, and a reminder that since converting, Saudi Arabia, the PLO, and the Muslim Brotherhood had all put a price on his head. All the friendly diversity from Friday night, the warm and smiley openness, had vanished. Love and freedom were convenient catchphrases justifying the identification of nearly one-quarter of humanity with the demonic. It’s one thing to say that you’d like Muslims to convert to Christianity. F…
