C’mon Muslim Myth Believers! Just Admit It!

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…rsy earlier this year about his two-decade membership in Chicago’s Trinity United Church of Christ. Yet just 45 percent of those polled identified the Illinois senator as a Protestant. The Obama-is-a-Muslim confusion is caused by fallacious Internet rumors and radio talk-show gossip. McCain went so far at one of his town hall meetings to grab a microphone from a woman who claimed that Obama was an Arab. The Texas numbers are unusual because most n…

Religious Persecution Wolf in Anti-Defamation Sheep’s Clothing

By Austin Dacey

…the OIC is criticized most strenuously by those within OIC countries, like Arab human rights advocates and persecuted minority faiths like the Baha’i and the Ahmadiyya. These vulnerable communities know that the talk of safeguarding belief abroad will only safeguard the abuse of power at home. In Pakistan, blasphemy is a crime punished by death or life in prison. Pakistan’s blasphemy laws are regularly used against the Ahmadiyya, who are officiall…

King Hearings: Right to Attorney = Enabling Extremism?

By Hussein Rashid

…c and political engagement: make your society better. As we’ve seen in the Arab world recently, the “liberty narrative” is not foreign to Muslims, and does not need to be inculcated. Like any skill, it must be developed and nurtured. That holds true for all Americans, not just Muslims. Unfortunately, Jasser’s argument starts falling apart when he gets to specifics, and shows he does not comprehend why people are upset by these hearings. His eviden…

Aasif Mandvi on Islamophobia, Acting, and the Long Shadow of Jon Stewart

By Haroon Moghul

…crisis is Pakistan, but it sends the Middle East into a crisis, involving Arab countries, Israel, China. Everyone is reacting to this crisis including the U.S. government, which is reacting and trying to mitigate this crisis. We see the Foreign Service, the State Department, and the U.S. military. It debuts on June 21st. We are short on time, so I want to make time for one last question: What’s your advice to people who want to be creators, who w…

Watching Man of Steel in Istanbul

By Haroon Moghul

…lly, it is how we have tried to force Turkey’s Gezi Park protests into the Arab Spring. (Imagine the average American in Superman’s spandex.) Indeed Gezi Park’s a cause for celebration: thousands of Turks are vigorously protesting in favor of decentralization, a greater say in urbanization, a rollback of Erdogan’s increasingly authoritarian tendencies, and the preservation of green space, the spark which lit the fire which would have probably igni…

Religious Affiliation, ‘Mankind’: India’s Anti-Corruption Activist Leads Second Freedom Struggle

By April L. Bogle

…Corruption campaign as the movement evolves. What some are calling India’s Arab Spring has been more like a summer of discontent, complete with demonstrations and arrests, all in support of this epic fight against government corruption—what Anna Hazare, whose hunger strike made headlines, has named “India’s second freedom struggle.” I was glad to have the chance to interview Bedi when she came to Atlanta a few months ago for a conference. No Prima…

Women2Drive in Saudi Arabia

By Joanna Brooks

June 17 dawned many hours ago in Saudi Arabia, and early reports suggest that the day declared “Women 2 Drive” by Saudi women’s rights activists has been a success. Reports are coming in from Saudi journalists and Twitterists: about 20 women have been seen driving in Riyadh. Five or six drove past the capital. Women have also been reported driving in Jeddah. And there have been no arrests. An early morning YouTube video depicted one woman driving…

Mexico’s Religious Conservatives Seek Anti-LGBT Constitutional Amendment, LGBT Activists Defend Secular Government; Cash From Qatar Funds ‘Traditional’ Family Activism Worldwide; Global LGBT Recap

By Peter Montgomery

…sake of the little ones. Many little ones will fall into this sin if LGBT promoters push them. And we also protest for the sake of the LGBT promoters themselves. For their sin will be multiplied by every abused child that they push into sodomy.” Orozco discounts the likelihood of such an appeal, since Belizean law generally bars “interested parties” from appealing if the parties themselves decline. Rather, his focus is on understanding the decisi…

In Trump Era, Young Muslims Question Respectability Politics of Mosques

By Hebah H. Farrag

…geles called Horizontal Muslims, which she describes as an “activist group united by a desire to be active in other communities, to organize on behalf of other communities.” She said she appreciates the group’s diverse leadership, a contrast to the “board entirely made of middle-aged Arab men” at the mosque she used to attend. Aly now runs Collaboryst, an organization that helps Muslim American professionals hone and market their skills while prov…

The Anglican and the Evangelicals: Insights from the Sudanese Genocide

By Frederick Clarkson

…much of the hearing focused on the inadequacy of both the American and the United Nations’ response to the crisis. Chairman Smith was clearly upset that no one from the State Department was available to testify. And there was a deeper issue. Smith said, apparently referring to elements of the Obama administration. While Phillips’ fresh reports and documentation captured the attention of members of the House from both parties, when he took his info…
