Passover with Mohammed: A Jewish Journalist in Yemen

By Sam Kestenbaum

…Jews don’t eat anything leavened during Passover, to remember that we fled Egypt in such a rush we couldn’t even let the bread finish rising.

…of the family’ was only a means to an end. This emerged most critically in Egypt’s statement introducing the resolution. As Egypt noted, Speaking about absolute and unspecified diversity can be an invitation to cast protection on family settings where human rights may not flourish to be respected. Family is family everywhere as a unit that bonds men, women and children together…[family] should remain reflective of similar essence and shared values…

Was George W. Bush the Last Hippie?

By David R. Williams

…wer is to go to the Old Testament, to the children of Israel escaping from Egypt, and seeing in that an escape from the Text. Derrida said there is nothing outside the text. He was wrong. What looks like void is wilderness, and scripture holds out the hope that we don’t have to work on Pharoah’s farm no more, that if we abandon structure and head out into that chaos, somewhere on the other side of that void is the promised land of true vision. Thi…

…inked efforts of NAR networks, it’s become a potent far-right symbol and a coded emblem for an extensive spiritual warfare campaign, all of which became entwined with the Trump Administration and Trump 2020 Campaign.

America Appears to be Heading for a Religious Civil War

By Nilay Saiya

…ases of mass religious violence around the world in settings as diverse as Egypt, India, Myanmar, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. At first blush, it may seem that the United States shares little in common with these developing countries. Yet I have found unsettling similarities. In all these countries, the widespread adoption of a more militant approach stemmed centrally from fears that a historically and culturally dominant religious group was in danger…

The Right Wing Bible and the Politics of Impotence

By Christopher B. Hays

…terious impotence. The American young adult is powerless while the average Egyptian’s salary is roughly $2000 per year? The Egyptian educational system is far less developed than America’s, and the opportunities for young people are far less numerous. So for young Egyptians fighting Mubarak’s rule, the fight really wasn’t fair. But Mayer and his friends “don’t have the means” to rise above? It seems to me that the song’s one false statement is tha…

Looking at Libya, and at Ourselves

By Hussein Rashid

…d and colleague, Haroon Moghul, wrote a piece on the violence in Libya and Egypt—exactly what we needed to hear based on the information we had earlier today.

We have become so conditioned to assume that Muslims a…
