You Can Take The Boy Out of the Crack House: MyPillow CEO’s New Book Promo Has Deep Roots in American Christianity

By Daniel Schultz

…end time with our families.” Trump-as-the-chosen-hand-of-God is relatively new theology, to be sure, though no doubt the theology leading Trump to tout Lindell as a Senate candidate in Minnesota. (Lindell wouldn’t be the first Quistian candidate from the Land of 10,000 Lakes.) But Lindell’s remarks point to another extensive thread in American religious history: the belief, contrary to every bit of scriptural evidence, that the Christian God only…

Saudi Women Take to the Twittersphere to Protest Driving Ban

By Joanna Brooks

…r grassroots campaign against the driving ban. Her supporters have created new Facebook and Twitter sites. Despite threats of violence, Al-Sharif and other Saudi women have proposed a mass decentralized act of civil disobedience on June 17 to defy the driving ban. According to a recent Tweet from the group Women2Drive, the status of the June 17 event is uncertain, but other Saudi women activists report that the movement is gaining traction. The pr…

By Annika Brockschmidt

…the courtroom at which he places Horatio Alger medals around the necks of new lifetime members. And since this sham of an “ethics code” was published, even more details on the corruption at the highest court of the land have come to light, with ProPublica reporting that Clarence Thomas was threatening to retire in order to move GOP politicians to lobby for higher wages for SCOTUS justices. In 2024, we will also find out how the Supreme Court reac…

Contraband Valentine

By Svend White

…a kid growing up in a Muslim-American family Boston in the 1970s, I found Saudi Arabia’s “Islamic” pretensions exceedingly fishy and hard to swallow. My parents were neither politically active nor involved in the then-small Boston Muslim community, so I had little awareness of international affairs and my exposure to the Middle East was quite limited. Nonetheless, I instinctively sensed that Saudi Arabia’s claim to being an “Islamic” state was de…

Fearful Saudi Conservatives Flexing Muscles

By Hussein Rashid

…most telling in terms of how they view the religion as a tool of control. Saudi Arabian Grand Mufti (legal opiner) Abdul Aziz said: Allegiance of Yazid Ibn Muawiya was legitimate according to the sharia which was taken at the time of his father Muawiya and people had accepted and surrendered to it. But after Muawiya died, Hasan and Husain Ibn Ali and Ibn Zubair withheld their allegiances. Husain and Ibn Zubair in their decision of not giving thei…

Turkey and Egypt: Islam’s Future?

By Haroon Moghul

…ims to more ‘authentic’ expressions of their faith. Often this meant Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan pushing their religious agendas alongside their foreign policy objectives. It made for messy, even ugly, politics, with ideological wars complementing actual wars—and Islamic thought another victim. Saudi Arabia funded madrasas in Pakistan, leading to Iran and Iraq funding madrasas in Pakistan; in generally more benign instances, Egypt dispatched…

US Offers Help For Investigation of Bangladesh Killings

…people and other marginalised groups by these religious authorities. Even Saudi Arabia has taken steps to curtail the power of its religious police to raid and arrest, recognising the widespread abuses that have occurred. The federal and state authorities in Malaysia should follow their lead.

Big Love, Saudi-Style

By Haroon Moghul

…s simultaneously marrying two of her friends. Because polygamy is legal in Saudi Arabia, this isn’t surprising; what’s more surprising is that the wife-to-be proposed that the husband-to-be take a second and third wife, and then stipulated who those wives would be. Know your co-wives, I guess. (It’s a Big Love episode in Arabic.) At first the man resisted. Maybe he didn’t like her friends? We don’t know. Maybe he didn’t want to pay for three house…

Saudi Hypocrisy in Wahhabi “Disneyland”

By Reuven Firestone

…oted sheikh, Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab, in Dir`iyyah, near the capital of Saudi Arabia. Dir`iyyah, which is essentially a suburb of Riadh, was ruled in the middle of the 18th century by a tribal sheikh named Muhammad ibn Saud. It was also the home base of the founder of Wahhabi Islam. As the Times notes, the two Muhammads made a deal that would eventually take over most of the Arabian Peninsula. Muhammad ibn Saud would supply the warriors and Muh…

Maureen Dowd’s Reductio Ad Islam

By Haroon Moghul

…o—and here it comes, the very insight you paid through the paywall for—her Saudi Arabian upbringing, for that is where women are oppressed and learn helplessness. That makes complete sense! Consider: Huma’s one-time boss, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, stuck by a husband who did one worse, so far as these things can be weighed and inveighed against. He cheated on his wife in his office, which happened to be our office, meaning the Oval…
