…f a choice really. I mean, it’s not like comparing apples and oranges. So, today when the post office opens I will surrender my passport to FedEx. I hope the tour company will get it to the embassy on Friday. (Who knows, they may just wait until Monday). I have then to compose my letter of decline for the event in Berlin.

Interfaith: Whose Faith?

By Amina Wadud

…t this did make me think about the phenomenon of interfaith as it is being promoted these days. First of all, this is not an idea promoted by the oppressed to invite others to celebrate their faith. It is something those already in power or with privilege extend to make an opening or orchestrate a collective. This means, those who do get invitations are usually at a disadvantage. If nothing else, it could be from the mere organizational standpoint…

…ggingheads segment on how the American right is spinning the revolution in Egypt, and using it as an opportunity to perpetuate myths about shari’ah law.

…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…

…n when he responds to the groans and cries of unpaid laborers in Pharoah’s Egypt (Exodus 6:5). From that point forward the biblical emphasis on the just treatment of labor remains in full force and effect: Leviticus 19:13: “You shall not defraud your neighbor; you shall not steal; and you shall not keep for yourself the wages of a laborer until morning.” Deuteronomy 24:14-15: “You shall not withhold the wages of poor and needy laborers…You shall…
