Why Antisemitism is an Insufficient (and Risky) Explanation for Hamas’s October 7 Attack on Israel

By Shane Burley

…happen. The assumption of a Jewish conspiracy is all that’s required to decode the attacker’s rationale. Violence stemming from this logic has a long history in the US and around the world. The Pittsburgh synagogue shooting in 2018 was an effort to stop the “migrant caravan” because, according to the shooter, Jews are responsible for orchestrating non-White immigration to replace native-born Whites. In 2006, a Moroccan-Jewish man named Ilan Halim…

UPDATED: Religion Has Been Framed; Covering the Aga Khan’s Visit

By Hussein Rashid

…ce individuals that they are besieged and need to “circle the wagons.” The Saudi state, hardly the most impoverished people on Earth, uses the foil of Iran, or the Crusader Nation, or the Zionist Aggressor, to bind their people to Wahhabi ideology. The logical outgrowth of the ideology was the Taliban and al-Qaeda. By not understanding and portraying how odious these movements are to many Muslims, they contribute to the recruiting causes of these…

The Fitna Debacle: Extremists Gone Wild

By Andrea Useem

…f anything is infuriating about Wilders’ film, it’s how he (like those who promote similar ideas in the United States, including Robert Spencer and Daniel Pipes) ignores Muslim reform and insists on a totalitarian vision of Islam, demanding that Muslims either rip up their scripture or admit to being terrorist sympathizers. Like Christopher Hitchens attacking belief, these voices seem to want to annihilate all forms of Islam—and that’s a tough pos…

As a Muslim, I am Exhausted…

By Nabil Echchaibi

…ts. The CAIR (Council of American Islamic Relations) representative or the Saudi mufti who denounce ISIS are doing important work, but it is naïve to believe that positive images of Islam alone can drown out the paranoia of Islamophobia, that the solution to all our problems lies only in the depths of our spirituality. We need raunchier stories that reflect how complex our Muslim lives really are. Muslim lives are not stable, one-dimensional or pe…

RDPulpit: Israel in Gaza: Right but not Smart

By Rabbi Michael Lerner

…srael. 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 symbo…

On the Taliban’s Hit List: An Exiled Pakistani Singer’s Plea to Save Music

By Austin Dacey

…musicians in Pakistan? Unfortunately, very little effort has been made to promote Pashto music in the past. Now that popular Pashto music and culture are diminishing, it’s high time to work seriously for its preservation and promotion. We can consider the following steps in this regard. *Create awareness regarding the plight of Pashtun artists in international media. *Organize cultural exchange programs, wherein Pashtun artists could get opportun…

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

By Gordon Haber

…de, among other things, the details of an overheard conversation between a Saudi official and a political consultant whose breathless non-scoop is that the president doesn’t care much about the peace process (along with speculation that Trump’s assistance to Netanyahu before the Israeli election was “probably at the prompting of Jared Kushner”). Of course, this isn’t the first time that TruNews has been given access to Trump events. It’s not even…

“We Found My Father, Except for His Hand”

By Haroon Moghul

…its young folk in their fashionable clothes, and even its new investments, Saudi-funded luxury apartments or hotels and the occasional shiny shopping malls, the Bosniaks have a country that doesn’t work, a country in which they can’t pursue the development they believe is required to make themselves secure. For who now would want to invest in Sarajevo? Aid from European countries, though it is their largest source of funding, seems an uncertain bl…

Hajj Journal: Using the Toilet at the Grand Mosque

By Amina Wadud

…, whatever little shopping I did in Makkah. The shopkeepers are mostly not Saudi, so they detect an accent, but usually think I’m Egyptian, the dialect I use the most. My roommate said many of the shopkeepers are Urdu-speaking, but she got better service when she spoke English, especially in the jewelry shop. Anyway, by now I hope you see that it helps always to have a plan. Today, I encountered something I was hoping at all costs to never have to…

Hajj Journal: Door Number 89: The Door with No Name

By Amina Wadud

…l-Ubaydah. There was a door named bab al-’Umrah, and of course a few other Saudi Kings, Islamic historical male figures, like bab Umar, and important cites, like bab al-Madinah. The thing is, as far as I could tell, women are hustled out of every place on the first floor, but especially as salat time approaches. Sometimes if it gets late enough and there is a large enough unyielding cluster, they may eke out a space behind some men. But the rudene…
