Packed with Threats of Political Violence, Media Largely Ignore the NAR’s ‘Million Women’ Rally in DC

By Frederick Clarkson

…torate, and encouraged them to download his voter mobilization app (the QR code for which was projected onto the Jumbotrons placed around the mall). This may have been the largest voter mobilization event this election season. Illustration in Mario Murillo’s essay, “The Daughter of Lies” Wallnau has been engaged in election mobilization all year, notably on The Courage Tour, which seeks to register and mobilize evangelicals in 19 key counties in n…

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’…

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…

How to Choose a Tour Company for Your Hajj

By Amina Wadud

…t well in advance, two maybe three years. I first tried to go on hajj from Egypt (in 1981-2) because the total airfare was like 250 US dollars. I had my air ticket before I applied for a visa locally. In the end, the quota prevented me from going, despite the “reasons” given. We don’t have a quota in the United States. So when I first went online to get general information (earlier this year while still in Indonesia listening to my friends’ incred…

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…

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…

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…

Why Conservatives are Turning on Beck

By Sarah Posner

…s nuclear threat, at the Heritage Foundation, and about how the film being promoted by a former colleague of World Net Daily’s Aaron Klein, who was one of the first conservative writers to jump on the conspiracy train: lest you forget, that line of thinking goes, Mohamed ElBaradei, while head of the IAEA, let Iran off the hook on its nuclear ambitions; ElBaradei’s OK with the Muslim Brotherhood; therefore he must be behind the plot to install a nu…

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…

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…
