…e of the aisle”—only enemies In a morning panel of the second day of NatCon 2024, a group of Republican senators hammered home a confrontational message. Sen. Jim DeMint: “There is no reasonable consensus between what we believe, and the ideology of the progressive Left. We have to beat them.” Senator Ron Johnson: “It’s not our friend on the other side of the aisle, even though I wish it would be. It’s a real battle. The radical Left and progressi…

6 Reservations About U.S. Intervention in Libya

…o fight (diplomatically) to get Turkey onboard. While Qatar and the United Arab Emirates have loaned out fighter planes, they’re probably going to make, at best, a miniscule contribution; and neither are democracies that, theoretically, have to consult their people about their entanglements. And, while the Arab League has endorsed the Security Council resolution, let us not confuse the Arab League for a democratic body that speaks for the majority…

‘Spooky Action’ of Quantum Physics Offers an Alternative Frame for War in the Middle East and the 2024 Election

…ion in the Unholy Land and the political and religious situation in the Disunited States of America. Other correlations of this sort exist throughout the world. They are a product of the Great Dis-Ordering of global relationships since the end of the Cold War, which have reproduced and spread as we’ve transitioned from a stable world order governed largely by the United States to a multi-polar world governed by… no one. Hyperlocal affinities Let’s…

Neither Radical Nor Secular: The West Struggles with the New Islamism

…bility to create democracy, goes the conventional wisdom, an idea has been promoted that the Arabs need a strong ruler to lead. In the interest of “stability,” international aid was given in the form of guns, money, and diplomatic legitimacy to support authoritarian post-colonial regimes across the Middle East.

Clueless in Gaza

…he West Bank and Gaza and the normalization of the political status of the Arab citizens of the Israel—and of the Arabs of the West Bank and Gaza. Thus we can see that in the understanding of many of its best minds Israel’s fixation on military force and the application of that force to the civilian populations of the West Bank and Gaza has turned Israel into a garrison state and an international pariah.

…elicals reportedly voted for Trump in 2016, the percentage dropped to 76 percent in 2020, though experts contend that White evangelical support for Trump is “remarkably stable and consistently strong.” AFPI believes that if they can get back to 81, or even part way, that could make the difference in 2024.

How to Prevent Ethnic Cleansing in Syria

…that what is happening is far more complicated than mere battles of ‘good Arabs’ versus ‘bad Arabs,’ usually mapped out over religious and secular (except that, in this fight, we are allied with conservative Turkey, along with religious Saudi Arabia and Qatar, against a secular, autocratic Syria, even as we worry about Islamists. Come again?) While we are correct to consider the role of religion in the future of Arab democracies, we should also c…

Muslim Voices Festival: A Teahouse, and a Shakespeare Play

…ng was excellent, but one thing that did stand out was the wide variety of Arab accents that the actors had. Each region in the Arab world has a distinct accent, and in some cases, the accent is fairly country specific. At first, I thought it was simply what actors were best-suited for each part. However, Anastasia Tsioulcas mentioned that perhaps the diversity was to indicate that this a problem in the Arab world, not just one country. I prefer t…

The Jersey Shores of Tripoli: MTV and Arab Revolution

…the face, and they know in their heart: Yes, we can, too. The magic power of white culture is taken away, revealed to be human, the product of historical events and decisions, and thus susceptible to change, transformation, failures and successes.
