Gutless Americans: Religion-Baiting Heading into Election Day

By Evan Derkacz

…merica is ominously described as a “liberal advocacy group that ran ads on Arab TV apologizing for the actions of US troops”: See if this sounds different: Faithful America ran an ad on al Jazeera expressing regret for the abhorrent abuses that took place at Abu Ghraib—sort of similar to the way that George W. Bush (quite appropriately) apologized to Jordan’s King Abdullah at a Rose Garden press conference back in May of 2004: “I told him I was so…

Indifference, ridicule, pity — any of these would’ve been an appropriate response to this fool. Arguing him down outside the center would’ve been fine, too, for the more passionate among us. But throwing the man in jail truly risks turning a gasbag into a poster boy for the fight against governmental assaults on free speech. What’s more, it’ll…

In The Daily Beast, Niall Ferguson Says: Bomb Iran

By Haroon Moghul

…at man’s mind, surely he can come up with some other means by which we can promote good governance or counter dictatorship. Allow me to offer a bracing scenario. Let’s say we bomb Iran’s nuclear sites with sufficient force to provoke a crisis in its regime, which then begins to collapse. Just because a government falls doesn’t mean another will rise in its place. What will we have accomplished then? Creating an open front, so to speak, a giant sec…

Muslim Leaders Want Less Cover-Up

By Fatemeh Fakhraie

…f. The Uzbek and Tajik headscarves often look more like kerchiefs than the Arab headscarf styles, which cover all or most of the hair, the ears, and the neck. The latter style is what Tursunov finds troubling, especially since this style is increasing in popularity among Uzbek women. In pressing for national dress, the imams caution against the Arabization of Islam, attempting to revive Uzbekistan’s and Tajikistan’s Islamic identities rather than…

…ods and Kings (2014). In response to this criticism, Scott hired actors of Arab, African, and Indian descent for Killing Jesus. The Lebanese-American actor Haaz Sleiman was even cast as Jesus. But here’s the rub: while Scott hired people of color to play Jesus and his disciples, he hired white actors of European descent to portray the Roman elites, Herodian kings (Kelsey Grammer—Frasier himself—is Herod!), Jewish high priests, and the traitor Juda…

…uspended sentence. Kahane immigrated to Israel in 1971 but returned to the United States often, becoming a leading figure in the Movement for Soviet Jewry. After numerous parole violations, Kahane was sentenced in 1975 to serve a year in the Allenwood prison before returning to Israel to launch his political career. Founding his own party, he was elected to the Israeli Parliament in 1984, and in 1987 the Parliament passed a “Racism Law” (written s…

Egyptians Rejecting Religious Leadership, But Not Religion

By H.A. Hellyer

…t that the ruling National Democratic Party fell, Egypt would turn into an Arab version of Iran — a fear that was repeated many times over the last few days by the right-wing press all over the world. There have been other things said relating to religious figures or organizations that are to be taken with a heavy dose of salt. Some in the Egyptian pro-Mubarak camp argued that Hizbollah from Lebanon were the ones responsible for opening the prison…

No Virginia, There’s No “Clash of Civilizations”

By Anne Norton

…rd!”; the sorrow of Yehuda Amichai “everything in three languages/ Hebrew, Arabic and death”; and the strength of Langston Hughes, “Don’t be discouraged, builder.” What’s your next book? Usually one book shows me the way to another. I wanted to make it clear in this book that Islam is not “the other of democracy,” hostile to democracy or working against it. As I wrote, the Arab Spring came. Watching the people of Cairo, I remembered something I ha…
