…ries, including the most populous, Egypt. And while I’m not sure about 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.)

Mainliners, Be a Little Brutal and Divisive

By Daniel Schultz

…with the marginalized” that their members experience, the issue studies on Sudan, immigration and other subjects they have done, their longstanding mission to the UN and lobbying office in DC. Let me say upfront that there’s nothing wrong with those answers. Had I been in their shoes, I probably would have given the same ones. And let me be equally upfront in saying that I muffed my questions a bit. What I was trying to ask, and couldn’t quite art…

Ahmadinejad Aside, Anti-Racism Conference Was Deeply Flawed

By Austin Dacey

…freedom of expression, the Obama era may see a narrowing of the policy gap between Europe and the United States; not because the Americans have finally come around to the European position, but because the Europeans are beginning to realize that the Americans may just have gotten speech right.

…e). The positive-negative distinction is often mapped onto the distinction between supposedly positive social, economic, and cultural rights and supposedly negative civil and political rights— a flashpoint since the Cold War confrontation between communism and the capitalist democracies. (For a succinct critique of this mapping, see Jack Donnelly, Universal Human Rights in Theory and Practice.) Perhaps unwittingly, the Declaration’s take on childr…

By Andrew Aghapour

…and other leftists of “moral blindness” towards the important differences between “the kind of force civilized democracies project in the world, warts and all, and the internecine violence [perpetuated by Muslim governments].” Harris argues that there is a qualitative moral difference between the U.S. and the Muslim world, which leftists like Chomsky cannot see. Chomsky critiques Harris on two fronts. First, he deconstructs the accusation of “mor…

By Peter Montgomery

…draconian laws that forbid activism while allowing Western evangelicals to promote homophobia, Ethiopia is on track to join their ranks. “In many countries, it’s getting better for the LGBT community,” says reporter Katie J.M. Baker. “In Ethiopia, it’s getting worse.” She writes that anti-terrorism and anti-advocacy laws, both adopted in 2009, mean that “there are no health centers, charities, publications or even nightclubs that expressly serve E…

By Sunnivie Brydum

…ions for Muslims fleeing sectarian violence in Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, or Yemen. “The executive order violates the Establishment Clause by singling out Muslims for disfavored treatment and granting special preferences to non-Muslims,” the complaint alleges. It also discriminates “between ‘minority religions’ and majority religions, explicitly granting official preference to foreign adherents of minority faiths in the refugee-appl…

By Peter Laarman

…of Secretary Tillerson. He commended Brownback’s early good work on South Sudan’s liberation struggle and on the ongoing plague of human trafficking. Rabbi Saperstein’s insight about the particular situation of global Christians struck me as especially valuable.

…ked to Silvan Shalom, Israel’s foreign minister, that the new museum would promote tolerance “just as building health clubs promoted health.” This was not the first time that the Wiesenthal Center and the LA Museum of Tolerance formulated its own foreign policy; and in doing so implied that they were speaking for the American Jewish community at large. The center endorsed enthusiastically the Bush administration’s Iraq War, and in 2006 it dubbed V…
