An American Muslim Responds to Muslim Orgs Questioning Armenian Genocide

By Haroon Moghul

…, our institutional leadership is some years behind the conversation. What Turkey was five years ago is not where Turkey appears to be headed five years from now. Why should American Muslim organizations endorse this? When I want American Muslims to be more politically involved, to talk to people who don’t talk to us, it’s not in order for us to accept their narratives uncritically. But to be willing to hear them, in order that we too may be heard…

By Johnny P. Flynn

…ny federal lands not in use will revert back to the Indians. While you eat turkey, we will fast, or eat hot dogs. Over the years Indian militants have also been called communists, fascists, socialists, and radicals bent on destroying America. In fact, those names—which cancel each other out in any logical mind—have been applied in recent months to another tribal man, Luo of Kenya, who occupies the Oval Office at the moment.

By Haroon Moghul

…pparently making their way, on Ukrainian aircraft, to Syria, via Qatar and Turkey. Of course the latter countries’ involvement means these are not helping Bashar, unless you think his overthrow is good for his long-term life plans. This means that the Sunni Islamist regime in North Africa, closely allied to China and Iran, is shipping locally- and Chinese-made weapons to Syrian rebels who are fighting against a regime whose survival is critical to…

By Carolyn Gallaher and Priya Dixit

…illegally self-muster on Trump’s behalf if the Democratic nominee wins the 2024 election. Even barring this worst-case scenario, militias are a different force to be reckoned with today than they were 30 years ago. By vacillating between guerilla and paramilitary postures, or anti- and pro-state stances, militias have become empowered as independent forces to be reckoned with by opponents and supporters alike. A racial justice protest in nearby L…

…he race in his constituency, becoming the only LGBT friendly mayor outside Turkey’s biggest metropolis. Homosexuality is legal in Turkey but discrimination and anti-gay violence persist; efforts to include constitutional protections failed when a new draft constitution was defeated last November.

…nt, and a pledge at the end. A final admonition declares that breaking the Code will result in immediate execution. The Code is illustrated with images pulled from a website promoting the 2007 Swedish film Arn: The Knights Templar.

Will Istanbul Ever Be a Part of the European Union?

By Haroon Moghul

…ay Turkish membership talks go forward, and enough Europeans are convinced Turkey won’t dilute whatever it is they want Europe to be. By the time Europe gets over its economic crisis and Turkey clears its hurdles, this country may well be more populous than Germany, making it the largest in the EU. Would Europe be okay with that?

…nstructive example (trivial tidbit: Tunisia’s flag is a deliberate echo of Turkey’s, since the territory was part of the Ottoman Empire for centuries.) In Turkey, a popular, democratically elected party, many of whose members are individually pious, is using the ballot box to push an unelected secular elite out of its privileged statist position. If we don’t get this dynamic, we won’t get Muslim politics. I’m not talking about a religious agenda d…

…China’s rise, and began to look to their own country with dissatisfaction. Turkey Turkey brings it even closer to home. In the last few decades, the average Egyptian has barely seen his salary rise, while Turkey’s GDP rose by 300 percent. Turkey has raced past Iran to become dominant in the Middle East, and has done so with a curious blend of secularization and an originally Islamist party repeatedly elected to power. In short: Egypt watched its s…
