…thy nor large. With the exception of some significant Greek communities in Egypt and South Africa (who are decidedly not in the market for a new Russian bishop), the relatively few African convert communities on the continent are neither financially affluent nor politically powerful—yet. Modern Russia also has designs on Africa, where it seeks to compete with China and the Western powers for influence on a continent of natural resources and growin…

America Appears to be Heading for a Religious Civil War

By Nilay Saiya

…ases of mass religious violence around the world in settings as diverse as Egypt, India, Myanmar, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. At first blush, it may seem that the United States shares little in common with these developing countries. Yet I have found unsettling similarities.

S.O.S.

By Amina Wadud

…r plate to eat out of or off of are a minimal requirement. When I lived in Egypt, there was almost a second tier religious mandate to eat “ful mudamas” (fava beans) for suhur. The rationale was that it “lasted” longer in the stomach and I guess made you less hungry for the day long. Uh-Uh! This was NOT my cup of tea. I resorted to my good old American pastimes for the morning and accepted that in most cultures there is not a special breakfast food…

The “F” Word: Feminism in Islam

By Amina Wadud

…in the room, even if it is purple. This week a young feminist Muslim from Egypt is visiting in the Bay Area under a program from the US Department of State, called an “exchange.” But they don’t exchange, she said, they only tell us and tell us and tell us—as if Muslim women are clean slates that need to be informed by the likes of the state department. But it’s not just my young friend, but other fabulous Muslim women from Bahrain, Saudi Arabia,…

By Daniel Schultz

…meantime, the people are doing a pretty good job of getting ready to leave Egypt all on their own, and we’re stuck wondering why it is nobody thinks we’re relevant anymore. *Harold Meyerson calls Scott Walker “the cheddarhead pharaoh.” Update: No sooner have I spoken than a religious voice weighs in – on the side of the unions. Jerome Listecki, Archbishop of the Diocese of Milwaukee, says: “this much needed call for cooperation and communication b…

…that just as the latter struggled and freed themselves from oppression in Egypt, so shall today’s Christian Right zealots liberate themselves from the oppression they imagine they suffer under the movement’s many named enemies.

Introducing The Cubit, RD’s New Religion & Science Portal

By Andrew Aghapour and Michael Schulson

…between the elbow and the tip of the middle finger. Ancient China, ancient Egypt, the Roman Empire, and other cultures independently made the forearm a standard of measure. And why not? It’s convenient and ubiquitous. When you lift a hammer, it’s already sitting at the end of a cubit. We chose this humble unit for two reasons. First, the cubit is an intersection; it’s where the human body meets the material world. In the Bible, it’s where divine l…

Rarefied Islamophobia: When Americans Duplicate the European Cultural Talk

By Jocelyne Cesari

…that high variations in fertility occur throughout the Muslim world; from Egypt to Morocco and Indonesia. Such analysis would attribute variation in fertility rates not to Islam, but to the specific cultural and political conditions within each locality. It is certainly true that immigrant communities often exhibit higher fertility rates than host populations overall. But over time these rates usually fall in line with those of the indigenous pop…

These are among the salient facts of the discovery at this point, and scholars quickly began queuing up to weigh in on whether or not the fragment is authentic.

…alestine feared that the Nazis would break through the British defenses in Egypt and conquer the shores of the Eastern Mediterranean. Prayers were said through the Yishuv, the Jewish community in Palestine. Among them were prayers offered from a small plane. Other such attempts at invoking divine intercession from the air were made by a group of rabbis in the mid-1990s; they were praying for an end to the numerous suicide bombings of that period….
