…to co-opt the cause). Hamas, governing a Gaza under siege from Israel and Egypt, is facing internal disaffection, some of which comes from even more radical Islamic groups, which are far more dangerous to Israel. But can Israel and Palestinians come to terms, or will the ongoing conflict be exploited by ISIL? Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed solidarity with France, while making a similar claim on behalf of his people: Israelis…

Martyr of the Hijab: Marwa Sherbini, a Walking Veil?

By Shabana Mir

…sta, hated acrylic sweaters, loved the smell of rain, missed her family in Egypt and cried when they called her, and suffered from dust allergies. She was a living human being—at least until the hatred channeled through Alex W. struck her down. Shot her? No. Not so easy. Stabbed her. In a courtroom. Once? Twice? No, 18 times. She was a wife, whose husband is in critical condition after trying to save her life. His misfortune deserves mention: it s…

Christ is Pissed, Again

By Hollis Phelps

…,” the now-blockbuster YouTube trailer that triggered protest in Libya and Egypt. Commenting to Fox News, Staten Island Representative Michael Grimm has called the work a “deplorable piece,” one that is as “offensive” to Christians as ‘Innocence of Muslims’ is to “the Islamic world.” Unfortunately, but not surprisingly, the comparison has provided opportunity to emphasize the supposed moral high ground that Christians occupy over Muslims when it c…

It’s Theology, Not Baseball: Misunderstanding Iraq’s Sectarian Conflicts

By Amyn B. Sajoo

…s of governance are fraught with high political risk, as in ex-Yugoslavia, Egypt, and Iraq. Moreover, most of these radical groups, including the “Islamic State,” have a record of cynical gangsterism, routinely taking hostages and terrorizing targets for ransom. Many of their recruits are ex-cons and social dropouts. In the diasporas of Europe and North America, the seeming romance of radical ideological causes can appeal to those who are disencha…

Are We Living Through World War III?

By Haroon Moghul

…an; the U.S. worked with Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and other countries, like Egypt and China, to offer assistance and arms to mujahidin fighters to resist and defeat that occupation. In 2003, the United States mustered a coalition of some forty-nine countries, which was strong enough to swiftly topple Iraq’s government, but not strong enough to pacify Iraq, establish a new government, or secure it from foreign fighters. Jihadists poured into Iraq, i…

Bearded Soldiers: Religious Tension in Israel

By Benjamin Weiner

…ion. As the Seder draws to a close, we invoke a final symbol: the cup of Elijah, which, because of the prophet Elijah’s place in Jewish mythology as a harbinger of messianic times, expresses our desire that the redemptions of our past, in Egypt and elsewhere, be transformed into an ultimate deliverance. Ideally, this would be a deliverance from the need for soldiers altogether. In the meantime, we might hope that every step away from extremist coe…

The White Nationalist Fantasy of Ancient Christian-Muslim Conflict Would Get an ‘F’ in History Class

By Tony Keddie

…he Theotokos (“God-bearer”). Some Christians in places like Syria, Persia, Egypt, Ethiopia, and the Arabian peninsula resisted these doctrines. In these regions, there were two main theological camps—the Monophysites, who spoke of Christ as having “one nature of the incarnate Word” (Logos), and the Nestorians who accepted that Christ had two harmonious natures but refused to attribute human sufferings to the divine nature. They also called Mary th…

By Shaul Magid

…them and thus they had a strong attachment to him. Yet he was, to them, an Egyptian (even if he was really a Hebrew) raised in the house of Pharaoh, only discovering his “Hebrew” identity by accident when he witnessed the Egyptian taskmaster beating the Hebrew slave. In short, they did not completely trust him as is evident in the numerous times they blame him for taking them out to die in the wilderness. Basing his theory on nineteenth-century bi…

Goldstone 2.0: God Plays No Favorites

By Jill Jacobs

…dom. In the biblical liberation narrative, the Israelites have barely left Egypt when God warns them against mistreating sojourners and other vulnerable populations. “If you afflict them in any way,” God says, “if they cry out to me, I will surely hear their cry.” (Exodus 22:23) In explaining this verse, the medieval commentator Rabbi Moshe ben Nachman (Ramban) imagines God saying, “I save every person ‘from the hands of those who are stronger tha…
