American Anti-Gay Campaign in Africa Opposes “Fictitious Sexual Rights”

By Warren Throckmorton

…lls a “conflict” and its lack of resolution, FWI is aggressively resisting United Nations and United States policy regarding homosexuality. In January, FWI hosted 26 UN staffers from 23 different countries for a two-day conference on how to resist UN initiatives on sexuality. The conference was co-hosted with the Foundation for African Cultural Heritage, a group that is linked with the WCF. The only supporter listed on FACH’s website is Don Feder,…

An End to the “Gentleman’s Agreement” on Israel?

By Jay Michaelson

…as mediator in the Mideast conflict, and possibly lead to violence on the Arab Street. The “gentleman’s agreement” is also why Americans born in Jerusalem are, on their US passports, stateless people. Technically, Jerusalem is still disputed territory, and so the State Department refuses to list Israel as the child’s country of birth. In 2002, Congress passed a law requiring the State Department to end this charade. But, in accordance with the te…

…ds of people. They carried signs like “Stop the persecution of gays in the Arab world” and “Your life isn’t worth more than mine.” So it felt like a deep betrayal when local officials banned the march at the last minute and police turned tear gas, plastic bullets, and water cannons on participants. (Turkish LGBT activists are not sure why the event was shut down after years without incident, but it fell during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan and…

Heaven On Earth: A Non-Hysterical History of Shari’ah

By Haroon Moghul

…g new ways to honor its spirit would benefit everyone. Some people say the Arab Spring killed al-Qaeda; do you think that’s true? Do you think the Muslim world, by which I mean not just Muslim countries but Muslim communities and institutions, has the resources and intellects to fight off extremism? Only a fool, a fanatic, or a politician would presume to predict the future of the Arab Spring and the fate of al-Qaeda. The emergence of semi-democ…

Jesus, Carpet Bomb My Heart: An Undercover Muslim in Detroit

By Haroon Moghul

…d by the emotional commitment requested by TheCall. A friend took me to an Arab restaurant, where all the waitresses wore hijab. That, and seeing Arabic signs and advertisements everywhere, only fifteen minutes from Ford Field, was pleasingly jarring (and strategically reassuring: In case things turned ugly, I knew where to run, and had a reasonable sense of how fast). I explained to one of the friendly, all-American, veiled waitresses what I was…

Living Between Worlds: Muslim, American, Five Percenter

By Hussein Rashid

…idence. Early on, he also actively discounts any potential evidence for an Arab background for Fard. However, at the end of the text, as he explores the intellectual precursors to the Five Percent, he most closely aligns them with Arab movements, which is where my sympathies lie. I think he needs to address these competing ideas he puts forward more directly. He also talks about the fact that placing the Five Percent in a broader Islamic framework…

Obama’s Bunker-Busters to Israel

By Sarah Posner

…strike will provoke Russia—which wants Persian Gulf oil—to lead an army of Arab nations against Israel. Then God will wipe out all but one-sixth of the Russian-led army, as the world watches “with shock and awe . . . .” But Hagee doesn’t stop there. He adds that Ezekiel predicts fire upon those who “live in security in the coastlands.” From this sentence he concludes that there will be judgment upon all who stood by while the Russian-led force inv…

Transforming America’s Israel Lobby

By Dan Fleshler

…America’s political elite to push for a different American approach to the Arab-Israeli conflict? How can they expect anyone in the executive branch to avoid anticipatory vetoes and start showing more courage? And how can they expect to make common cause with non-Jewish Americans who share their goals and could add political impetus for change? It is time for the anti-occupation wing of the pro-Israel community to wrest control of the conversation…

Libya’s Religious Leaders take Surprising Position:

By H.A. Hellyer

The Arab world is like a genie out of the bottle right now—it just won’t be put back in. First it was Tunisia, then it was Egypt, and now it’s as though the entire Arab world is stirring. Nothing is certain in Libya, except that violence will continue. But in a country that bred the likes of Omar al-Mukhtar, the famed 20th century resistance leader who struggled against Italian fascist occupation for so long, there’s no lack of courage or a taste…
