6 Years Later, Arab Spring May Only Have Just Begun

By Haroon Moghul

Saudi Arabian and allied forces are pummeling Yemen, a catastrophe that usually goes uncommented on; the Gaza Strip remains under siege; the West Bank is even more occupied; Iraq teeters on the edge of anarchy; and Turkey has fallen under an authoritarian shadow.

…d may have been the one who arranged for a translation into Arabic and the promotion of the video in Cairo. In Egypt and throughout the Muslim world, the filmmakers finally received the negative publicity and public protests that they’d sought all along.

Where is the extremism we’re supposed to be afraid of? Is it simply a woman wearing a headscarf who’s elected and appears to be a competent leader? And if that’s the case, why are we so afraid of Muslim expressions of religiosity? In any case, it’s become clea…

In the years since I lost my faith, I’ve developed my own personal and largely private practice of fasting, invisible to believers and nonbelievers,…
