By Hussein Rashid and Murali Balaji

…alienable rights endowed by our creator” amongst haves and have nots. When East Asians started arriving in the United States, we were not sure if they were “white” or not. In 1922 the US Supreme Court ruled in Ozawa v. United States that being white meant being “Caucasian,” not just “not Black,” or “not Native American.” East Asians were promptly stripped of their citizenship, because they were not white enough for this country. South Asians belie…

COVID-Denying Father Sergei is Just the Latest Example of the Russian Orthodox Church’s ‘Holy Man’ Problem

By Katherine Kelaidis

…monk superstar. Just outside the town of Florence, Arizona, 63 miles southeast of Phoenix, in the middle of the desert, stands St. Anthony’s Monastery. Though built to resemble the great monastic houses of the medieval Christian East, there’s something too clean, too luxurious about St. Anthony’s to pass muster. It’s the mother house of 18 monasteries that, until his death last December, were all more or less under the direct control of one man:…

Americans Who Rage against Political Correctness Are Also the Most Xenophobic—And Most Likely to Vote Trump in 2020

By Samuel L Perry

…al government should do more to secure the Southern border and that Middle Eastern refugees pose a terrorist threat. In the second figure [below, right], we see a similar trend, but in the opposite direction. The more strongly Americans disagree with the statement “People need to be more careful with language to avoid offending people,” the more likely they are to hold xenophobic views about refugees from the Middle East and to want stricter borde…

Junior Falwell Unmasked Conservatism; Let’s Thank Him For It

By John Stoehr

…believes the disease outbreak can be blamed on totalitarian regimes in the east. For Cotton, that’s China. For Falwell, that’s North Korea. (While Falwell was on air, the president announced a state of national emergency related to the outbreak, undermining his and Cotton’s search for a scapegoat for his sake.) Falwell’s demagoguery isn’t what we should be thankful for. What we should be thankful for is his confessing, without appearing to know it…

Why Did a Muslim Civil Rights Group Oppose Democrats’ Plans to Confront White Nationalism?

By Elizabeth Shakman Hurd and Brannon Ingram

…ocial movements that are working hard for progressive change in the Middle East and North Africa. In her work, anthropologist Nadine Naber explores the mutually reinforcing relationship between the move to pathologize radical politics and narratives of “saving” Muslim women and LGBTQ people. She notes that, in the case of the Middle East, “society and culture are sensationalized as horrific and must be acted upon, whereas violence enacted by the U…

By Amy Fallas

…those in need. During World War I, American missionaries across the Middle East were key protagonists in forming the Near East Relief, which administered aid to millions displaced by war and conflict. Into the mid-twentieth century, missionaries and faith-based organizations were at the forefront of addressing global refugee crises following World War II and subsequent civil conflicts such as the migration from the Horn of Africa in the 1990s. The…

No, CNN, Saudi Arabia and Iran Have Not Been Fighting For “1,000 Years”

By Haroon Moghul

…h regimes are in different ways profoundly odious influences on the Middle East and Muslim politics, or that their involvement of America and Russia, respectively, in their clash of religious authoritarianisms, might contain the ingredients for the next World War. Certainly all of us should be paying close attention. But there’s no reason to become hyperbolic. This feud has lasted 38 years now, which is significantly less than 1,000 years. For one…

…chariah 13:8) and “On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will be split in two from east to west, forming a great valley, with half of the mountain moving north and half moving south” (Zechariah 14:4). I’ve seen preaching on this by evangelicals; I’ve talked to evangelicals who believe these verses to be true, accurate, and undeniable prophecy of what will happen in Jerusalem. (N.B.: Zech…

6 Years Later, Arab Spring May Only Have Just Begun

By Haroon Moghul

…ranian ally in the event of potential war, in exchange for a freer hand in Eastern Europe. The genocides in Eastern Europe, which overwhelmingly targeted Muslims and then Catholics, were only stopped by a combination of NATO intervention and the promise of European integration. What happens now? Those who supported Trump may be emboldened by his rhetoric against Muslims; in the Balkans, that may mean renewed war. Elsewhere supporters may come to r…

The Only Thing Evangelicals Will Never Forgive Is Not Hating the “Other”

By Frank Schaeffer

…, aesthetic, and liturgical to the historic Christian churches of both the East and West) is not to be confused with what Christians through most of the 2,000-year history of their religion would have recognized as even remotely familiar. According to traditional Christianity, a person was not “saved” or “lost” in a one-stop magical affirmation of “correct” doctrine, but, rather, the process of salvation was lived out in a community. Salvation was…
