By Randall Balmer, Anthea Butler, Evan Derkacz, Jeff Sharlet, and Diane Winston

…politics is almost irresistible.” Indeed, he succumbs, dividing the world between good liberals and “tacky” conservatives, the distinguished and the sophomoric. When confronted by evidence that these categories are not so hard and fast as his inner social scientist would like, he falls back on a rhetoric that constructs a reasonable middle by dismissing all to its left and its right as paranoid.

The USA is good to sell obscure Malaysian and Japanese records in, but it’s not a good place to play this kind of music. We’d do much better in South Eastern Asia, which yes, we get a lot of traffic from online. Tons of people from Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia add us. We’ve been covered in the major Malaysian music magazine. I thi…

By Timothy King

…d sod of New Hampshire again, this time for farming stints in the hills of Turkey and along coastline of the Adriatic. My story bears little resemblance to struggle of the Immokalee workers or the army of poorly-paid farm hands who are the bulwark of our current agricultural system. It is even more privileged than that of many of my peers, as I will be returning to family land with significant existing infrastructure and a debt-free tractor. The r…

Why Egypt is America’s Enemy

By Haroon Moghul

…orced local cultures to change. (Ataturk and Reza Shah, secular leaders of Turkey and Iran, obligated women to uncover their heads and men to change how they covered theirs; in Turkey, some who refused to change their clothes were executed). This merry-go-round is getting nauseating. After June 30th, people wondered whether Algeria was Egypt’s fate, or whether something worse is around the corner. In Today’s Zaman, I argued that Pakistan might be…

…ake out the garbage, mow the lawn, shovel the snow, coach hockey, burn the turkey. They’ll help you sell your home, check your x-ray, serve your coffee at the local cafe, and remember your name (and whether you like cream and one sugar). They teach your kids, get you out of jail if you need a lawyer, help you survive cancer or a heart attack, and provide your hospice care—whispering loving things in your ear and helping you cross the divide. Most…

When Is Hosni Mubarak?

By Haroon Moghul

…). I can think of two powers 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.

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…

By Shabana Mir

…le ghetto, with the conservative religious Muslims in it, you know what I mean?—so that they don’t remain an eyesore. But what if other women start taking up hijabs and burqas? Women’s subjugation could be contagious. Well, then, maybe we could ship them all off to the nearest Muslim country—like Turkey, perhaps. Or then Turkey would vote to keep us out of the EU. A political-cultural observer or historian of Western societies might be permitted t…
