BYU Honor Code Used to Harass Black Atheletes

By Joanna Brooks

…de, we sounded a note of caution here at RD about the “dark side” of honor code enforcement. After all, the honor code had been created during the 1960s in an effort by ultra-conservative BYU President Ernest Wilkinson to root out liberals, and honor code enforcement (including anonymous referrals) had been used to bait and harrass feminist, liberal, and gay students, shut down campus free speech, and compromise the privacy of pastoral counseling…

5 Reasons the Muslim Brotherhood Won’t Turn On Israel

By Haroon Moghul

…d from the world. Aggressive national policy will accomplish nothing for Egypt and the many Egyptians whose jobs depend on the tourist sector. That’s worth keeping in mind when people ask if a new Egypt will be a pro-Hamas Egypt. 2. Why, How Many Tanks and Planes You Have Any post-Mubarak regime will have to incorporate not only the military’s interests, but reward the military (assuming the revolution succeeds, it’ll only succeed with military…

By Peter Montgomery

…re part of a discussion about moderate Islam, are a historic milestone for Egypt’s religious institution. Along with the grand imam of al-Azhar mosque, the grand mufti of Egypt holds one of the highest positions on religious authority and plays an important role in determining opinions on religious law. Allam noted that other religious communities in Egypt, such as the Coptic Church, have also condemned homosexuality but say gays and lesbians shou…

Egypt and the Problem of Religion

By Asma Afsaruddin

…e David Brooks, have remarked, the question to be posed now is not whether Egypt is ready for democracy or not—that ship has sailed. The relevant question is: are Egyptians ready to uphold the rule of law regardless of the political consequences? The creation of just, ordered societies is in fact the primary objective of the Muslim political tradition—and Muslim scholars often took it upon themselves to promote this, sometimes even overriding rel…

The Risks of Remaining Neutral on Egypt

By Haroon Moghul

…zed, or to gingerly urge the government (as Secretary of State Clinton did today) to allow freedom of expression and assembly. But in supporting the government or remaining equivocal, we point the way away from Turkey—which, in the long run, is the best possible example for a religiously Muslim society to turn to—and we may even potentially empower Iran. Really. If the people of the Arab world feel that America is not behind them—or worse, is acti…

The Islamists vs. The Markets: Egypt’s Election Analyzed

By Haroon Moghul

…I have no idea where these parties will lead their countries. I think, in Egypt’s case, while the Freedom and Justice Party will have little choice but to support democratic politics, they will not pursue a liberal democracy—they are a right-wing party, after all. I also believe Tunisia is, in the short-run, in much better shape than Egypt, and its Islamist party seems a lot nuanced and ready for government. The Muslim Brotherhood, if it becomes…

…ch were there, as well as imams from the Azhar, because they are a part of Egypt. Those with disabilities, those without, young, old, poor, rich—all parts of Egypt were in that Square. When anyone ever entered the Square, they knew they were seeing what Egypt really was, and it was inspiring to see it all in that microcosm, where plurality existed in an environment of peace and coexistence. As the weeks and months ahead unfold, its clear that ther…

Egyptian President Al-Sisi is a Dictator, Not a Reformer of Islam

By Mohamad Elmasry

…, prior to a military coup and unprecedented state-sponsored repression in Egypt, there was no terrorism in Egypt’s major cities. Recently, however, Cairo, Alexandria and other major Egyptian cities have been the sites of terrorist violence. Sadly, Egypt’s state-sponsored massacres, current torture programs, mass arrests, mass death sentences, and political exclusionism have made the nation a popular recruiting ground for Al-Qaeda and ISIS. Rather…

No Democracy in Huckabee’s Orientalist Egypt

By Michael J. Altman

…gypt. When he talks about America Huckabee’s emphasis is always on values, freedom, liberty and democracy but, when he shifts to Egypt, “stability” and an “even keel” seem to suffice. Sarah already pointed to Reza Aslan’s piece at the Washington Post that highlighted how Huckabee and the Muslim Brotherhood share similar ideas about the role of religion in government. Whereas, in America, religion ought to influence government and enhance liberty,…

The Dark Side of BYU’s Honor Code

By Joanna Brooks

…reating serious backlash among BYU students and faculty. Since then, Honor Code enforcement has been conducted through referrals—even third party referrals—of suspect students to a campus Honor Code office, a system of enforcement that has created significant opportunities for abuse. (When I was a BYU student, it was possible to make an anonymous third-party referral.) Honor Code enforcement on campus has been used to bait and target gays and libe…
