…e more successful. Morris Sadek, another US-based Coptic Christian, helped promote the film on his website, and may have been the one who arranged for a translation into Arabic and the promotion of the video in Cairo. In Egypt and throughout the Muslim world, the filmmakers finally received the negative publicity and public protests that they’d sought all along. But although many Muslims were offended by the tawdry mocking of their Prophet in the…

…he word “Allah,” citing national security concerns. The New York City Museum of Jewish Heritage, with its many exhibits dedicated to the Holocaust, could be the new hotspot for Orthodox Jewish singles to meet, according to Jewcy.com. Honoring the separation of church and state, Republican legislators in Florida are sponsoring a measure that would repeal a ban on public dollars going to religious groups and allow teachers to pray with childr…

Feminist Critics of Wearing Hijab in Solidarity Fall Into Same Old Traps

By Mariam Durrani

…argue, they do not have—to ask that no one wear hijab in solidiarity, because the hijab itself is a problem. Their stance is particularly problematic when we consider their absurd connection between all hijab and conservative, sexist Muslim patriarchal cultural practices. To strip hijabi women of their agency is a powerfully dangerous move that should be identified as such. Recently, I had a short chat with one of my research participants, a Musl…

CPAC Conservatives Shun “Crazy Bigot” Gaffney

By Sarah Posner

…from Gaffney. The conservative shunning of Gaffney, said Khan, is not “because of any pressure from Muslim activists but because they didn’t want to be associated with a crazy bigot.” *Khan points out that it wasn’t conservatives, but Gaffney making these unfounded accusations. Those accusations got play, however, in magazines like Front Page, which published Gaffney’s “Khan Job” when Khan was first running for the ACU board, and which drew on an…

6 Years Later, Arab Spring May Only Have Just Begun

By Haroon Moghul

…That is the worst violence in the Middle East, but not the only violence. Saudi Arabian and allied forces are pummeling Yemen, a catastrophe that usually goes uncommented on; the Gaza Strip remains under siege; the West Bank is even more occupied; Iraq teeters on the edge of anarchy; and Turkey has fallen under an authoritarian shadow. There are bright spots in the Muslim world, but a sense of ominousness is inescapable. It doesn’t just seem like…

Graham’s Muslim Brotherhood Conspiracy Theory Not New

By Sarah Posner

…s like asking a fox, like a farmer asking a fox, “How do I protect my henhouse from foxes?” We’ve brought in Muslims to tell us how to make policy toward Muslim countries. And many of these people we’ve brought in, I’m afraid, are under the Muslim Brotherhood. Graham was sounding a lot like Beck and other right-wing talking heads because they have already put forth that very conspiracy theory, and repeated it at virtually every opportunity. As I r…

…riminalize “insulting or inciting contempt of any religious belief which causes a breach of the peace.” Saudi cleric Sheikh Ahmed al-Ghamdi challenged the notion that men and women should not mix in public places, sparking a controversy that led another cleric to call for his death.

Trump Gives Davos Press Credentials to Racist Conspiracy Outlet. Again.

By Gordon Haber

…red access to CNN’s troubles. Whatever the network’s failings, it does not promote homophobia and antisemitic and racist conspiracy theories. Yet in November 2018, CNN had to sue to get the White House to reinstate Jim Acosta’s press credentials, which the administration had pulled after Acosta dared to ask pointed questions about the Russia investigation. (Sarah Huckabee’s justification—that Acosta was “placing his hands” on the intern who tried…

Revelations from Family of Secrets (an addendum)

By Frederick Clarkson

…vice; and how his failure was systematically covered-up and politically defused. Also covered are the allegations of how W. was an abuser of illegal drugs in addition to his apparently drinking problems as a young man. One important story from W.’s past that has long been rumored is confirmed in this book. It is a story that perhaps as much as his going AWOL from the National Guard and orchestrating a cover-up could have derailed his political car…

RDPulpit: Israel in Gaza: Right but not Smart

By Rabbi Michael Lerner

…d in Israel. Hamas has made it clear that it would accept the terms of the Saudi Arabian peace agreement, though it would never formally recognize Israel. It would live peacefully in a two-state arrangement, but it would never acknowledge Israel’s “right to exist.” This position is unnecessarily provocative, and represents deep self-destructiveness on the part of Palestinians who believe that this refusal to acknowledge Israel’s rights is the only…
