Reports of the Death of ISIS Have Been Greatly Exaggerated

By Mark Juergensmeyer

…t claimed credit. They also gave ISIS credit for attacks in Nigeria and in Egypt a few days before. Earlier in the year a group of Muslim separatists said to be associated with ISIS took over a town in Mindanao, the insurgent region of Southern Philippines, and controlled it for months in a stand-off with the Filipono army. And, of course, this past November a rented truck veered down a bicycle path in lower Manhattan, killing eight; the driver, a…

Pigging Out: What ‘Radically Unkosher’ Jewish Foodies Like Michael Pollan Are Missing

By Jonathan Schorsch

…d that those erecting such boundaries considered, with some justification, Egypt to be a cruel and barbaric empire of hypocritical elites and abhorrent licentiousness, and Canaanite society thoroughly immoral from its forms of sexuality to child-sacrificing religiosity. We don’t have to share these perspectives, or the prohibitions derived from them, but as motivations for a culture they are hardly arbitrary or unique. Pollan ignores what is perha…

On Eve of Sudan Split Clashes Continue

By Ashley Makar

…emption and present-day lamentation. When William talks about crossing the Egyptian desert, he talks about the Holy Spirit. He remembers Pentecost, when, in the Christian Scripture, the first apostles received the guidance of the Holy Spirit in Jerusalem. William, however, didn’t make it to Jerusalem or to a university. After he crossed from Egypt into Israel, border guards took him to immigration prison. Months later, he was handed over to an Isr…

Why David Sometimes Wins: What We Must Learn From Cesar Chavez

By Frederick Clarkson

…odus is not merely the story of Moses leading his people out of slavery in Egypt. “I came to see this as a journey that passes from generation to generation.” For Ganz, the story of Moses and the story of David and Goliath are not merely ancient tales of God’s champions, but the story of how we live: metaphorical maps of who we are, who we might become, and how we might get there. Ganz’s father was a rabbi, and a military chaplain during WWII; man…

Intellectualized Islamophobia

By Hussein Rashid

…tuation of poor literacy rates in the Muslim-majority world: Turkey (87%), Egypt (71%), and Pakistan (50%), and of course rates of sale. How does an Islamist pamphlet compare to fiction or poetry in the same region? Finding the man on the street who screams “the West” is the great Satan is great for proving what one person thinks. How about what a billion Muslims might actually think? This smear is predicated on guilt by association and on the ass…

Israel’s Immigration Debate: “Where is the Jewish Spirit?”

By Mati Wagner

…ner in a land that is not his. The Jew must remember his history, first in Egypt and later in other exiles, of being a guest in another people’s land. Holocaust survivor and Nobel Laureate Eli Wiesel pleaded with Israel not to deport the children. “Where is the Jewish spirit, the Jewish heart and the Jewish compassion?” The sides were protagonists in an age-old Jewish dispute. Shas’s Yishai represented the particularistic, parochial protector of J…

Graham’s Muslim Brotherhood Conspiracy Theory Not New

By Sarah Posner

…ama administration has been working with him to coordinate the protests in Egypt.” (emphasis added). In my long piece about the shari’ah conspiracy theory industry earlier this month, I noted: ACT!, along with several conservative websites, has promoted the conspiracy theory that Obama has “quietly” appointed people with Brotherhood ties to top positions in his administration in order to orchestrate uprisings in the Muslim world. According to this…

Updated: A Response to President Obama’s Speech in Cairo

By Hussein Rashid

…acy. This section is highly evocative of Ali ibn Ali Talib’s letter to his Egyptian governor, a section of which is quoted in this article. Although he does mention Cordoba as a center of tolerance, I found it odd he did not mention Fatimid Cairo as well. Although less well-known, it was a strong center of Jewish life as well, and the current discrimination against Copts has little historical precedent. It would have been a good reminder to the Eg…

6 Years Later, Arab Spring May Only Have Just Begun

By Haroon Moghul

…n act of protest that toppled the Tunisian regime, captivated and captured Egypt, and from there reached Libya and Bahrain, Yemen and even Syria. The world without was mesmerized, astonished, amazed and inspired. Everything we thought we know about Arabs and Muslims, Middle Easterners and North Africans, was upended. President Obama even gave a speech. He said some nice things, but that was about it. What he brought to this historical moment wasn’…

Salaam Obama

By Mark Juergensmeyer

…ommunities such as Maronite Christians in Lebanon and Coptic Christians in Egypt, the conflict between the Shi’a and Sunni branches of Islam, the presence of religious extremists such as al Qaeda, and the persistence of unequal rights for women in some traditional Islamic societies. Yet even these criticisms were couched in measured language, and salted with quotations from the Qur’an. Far from apologizing or pandering to his audience in Cairo and…
