…book with David Henry Hwang for Tarzan. He then applied for a Fulbright to Egypt, which led him to a post as the Playwright in Residence at the Library of Alexandria (Egypt), researching, writing and holding developmental readings of his play A Matter of Fact about the destruction of the Ancient Library. Whilst in Alexandria, he led a State Department program for Egyptian youth to write and perform a site-specific play, Let’s Make a Change, for wh…

The General’s Son Recounts Very Different Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

By Ira Chernus

…to destroy it. But in fact Egypt massed troops on Israel’s border only because the Egyptians believed (from faulty intelligence) that Israel was preparing to invade its ally, Syria. Though that wasn’t true, it is true that Israeli military leaders were urging their civilian government to fight a war sooner rather than later. The Israelis knew that the Egyptian army was far too weak to resist the Jewish forces. Indeed the Egyptians never would have…

Some Thoughts on Richard Dawkins’ Terrible Tweet

By Haroon Moghul

…rge? Do I pursue a career that makes me more money, or leaves the planet a better place? Do I use what I know about Islam to fight back against its misuse and at the same time misunderstanding of it? Once Muslims used to develop a language that looked out positively at the world, and inspired action in it, inflected by Islam but not limited to Muslims—or to any particular peoples. This was a great age, comparatively speaking, for Muslim culture, a…

Christian Passover, Yes or No?: A Response to Rabbi Moffic

By David Greenspoon

…deed often facilitated by knowledgeable lay people who would travel from house to house helping those who did not have the capacity to conduct the seder themselves. Finally, while the seder meal might not be a sacrament per se, it is still a uniquely Jewish telling of a particularly Jewish experience. While “not under the authority of one person of group”, the ownership of Jewish rituals and practices can safely be claimed by the committed Jews wh…

Updated with Audio: Secular Good, Muslim Bad: Unveiling Tunisia’s Revolution

By Haroon Moghul

…er secular (like us) or religious (unlike us), an effect of which is a confused causation. Namely, because many Arab states aren’t democracies, they must be Islamist states, where of course women must have to cover their heads. This assumption lazily equates the public practice of Islam with all things undemocratic, whereas we are inclined to view secularism–even when enforced by a dictator–as explicitly preferable, even though in the experience o…

A Long History of Blaming the Jews

By Gordon Haber

…nd that promise” to gentiles. Paul resolved the quandary by distinguishing between flesh and spirit, between the Jewish focus on the things of this world—“texts, bodies, objects”—and salvation through faith in Jesus. Although aspects of Paul’s teachings are debatable (such as the extent of his dualism), when he defined Christianity in opposition to Judaism, he created a remarkably useful framework for those who came after him. According to Nirenbe…

Debunking Shari’ah Myths

By Sarah Posner

…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. We not only discussed the situation in Egypt, but how some conservative activists are using this opportunity to raise a panic about the supposed infiltration of shari’ah law in the United States, and how all of this could play out in states where politicians are seeking to ban shari’ah, and in Rep…

Equal Protection of First Amendment

By Lauri Lebo

…ocation because they say Islam doesn’t qualify under the First Amendment’s Free Exercise Clause. They argue that passages in the Koran teach that infidels should be killed and so it can’t be considered a true religion. So, I’ve been thinking. Maybe Christians have a point. Maybe any religion that relies on scripture that preaches the killing of non-believers shouldn’t be considered a true religion and therefore its adherents shouldn’t enjoy the fu…

What Does Anti-Christian Even Mean?

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…l of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. Now, to prove that growing threat to religious freedom (especially Christian religious freedom), Dr. Gary Cass at the web site Defend Christians has come out with his top ten “Anti-Christian Acts of 2010.” Coming it at number one on the hit parade is the passage of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) that ended employment discrimination against gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender Americans. Cass warns that…

Invited by Allah

By Amina Wadud

…uotas, and that what had been a factor —no matter what technicalities were used from the embassy in Cairo—the real matter was that Egypt is not only very conveniently located vis-à-vis the Arabian Peninsula, it is also a very highly populated Muslim country and too many people request visas for hajj. Like Indonesia, one has to plan two or three years in advance. No walking up to the embassy three weeks before. So, mostly I was nervous because of t…
