Why the Obama/Hillary Clinton Approach to Middle East Peace is Doomed to Failure

By Rabbi Michael Lerner

…onists who consistently support the militarist perspective in dealing with Arabs and Palestinians), has insisted as a matter of faith that American politicians promise not to deal with Hamas, just as in the 1980s and 1990s these same forces insisted that the U.S. not negotiate with the PLO. According to several Israeli analysts, the Obama Administration’s game plan is this: To call for a cease-fire that will freeze in place Israel’s commanding mil…

Tragic Violence in Libya: No Excuse for Perpetrators—or for Provocateurs

By Haroon Moghul

…Eve.) This film was produced by a man who calls Islam a “cancer,” and was promoted by Terry Jones, who seems to best love undermining his country’s soldiers and diplomats time and again. Consider for a moment: How do we think this kind of film plays out in the minds of those to whom American foreign policy seems wrapped up in anti-Muslim sentiment? (Consider, for example, how the fate of Adnan Latif is read across the Atlantic.) Terry Jones, mind…

Amid Horrors, Muslim ‘John Hancocks’ Forge Secular Sudan

By Frederick Clarkson

…oad struggle is more accurately seen as one between rising state-sponsored Arabist Islamic nationalism, against racial and religious pluralism. Episcopal Bishop Andudu Adam Elnail of South Kordofan testified to Congress last year, that Khartoum’s ethnic cleansing campaign has not singled out Christians so much as anyone who happens to stand in their way, and he cited the compelling example of an SAF rocket attack on a mosque in Kauda. Omer Ismail,…

Orientalizing Ourselves

By Hussein Rashid

…gued that the study of Muslim Arab lands was predicated on the belief that Arabs and Muslims represented an inferior “Other” to the West and Christendom. Since the a priori belief was that Muslims were inferior, all discourse around Muslims helped to perpetuate this idea. From my perspective, perhaps most damaging was a definition of Islam and Muslims that flattened identity and erased centuries of diversity in practice, thought, and belief. In th…

Republican Party: You Are What You Are!

By Jonathan L. Walton

…n when the crazy-haired lady in Minnesota referred to Senator Obama as an “Arab,” one could see a few attendees shaking their heads in embarrassment and shame prior to Senator McCain’s ill-worded rebuke. I admit now that I was just plain wrong. The “Obama Bucks” distributed on the Chaffey Community Republican Women of California newsletter [ironically created to parody the ideology of the people who ultimately took it seriously] and the “Waterboar…

Make no Mistake, if There’s a War Between Russia and Ukraine, it Will be a Religious War

By Katherine Kelaidis

…frequently in opposition to, its powerful allure. As the uprisings of the Arab Spring suggested, the conflicts of the early 21st century weren’t a “clash of civilizations,” but a clash within a civilization, the crescendo of a 40-year conflict. This same drama is being played out within Orthodox Christianity at this very moment. Just like Muslims, Orthodox Christians have spent the better part of the modern age in an uncomfortable dance with the…

Can Interfaith Dialogue Cure Religious Violence?

By Lucia Hulsether

…when we consider widespread abuse directed at people profiled as Muslim or Arab—a response that began before the second bomb had even exploded. But I think we should be cautious about attempts to frame the Boston bombings, or for that matter any profound act of violence, mainly as a failure of (or an injunction toward) “interfaith cooperation.” There are four questions worth raising: 1. What other dynamics of power move out of focus when celebrat…

Violent, Genocidal Anti-Palestinian Rhetoric Moving to US?

By David Sheen

…lians, damning them to death along with the militants in their midst. Anti-Arab racist rhetoric is common in Israeli politics. Recent comments by a Member of Knesset and whip of the religious Jewish Home party – key members of Prime Minister Netanyahu’s governing coalition – were especially heinous. In a Facebook post published a month ago, Ayelet Shaked advocated for the killing of “the entire Palestinian people… including its elderly and its wom…

In the clip below, we discuss Newsweek’s “Muslim Rage” cover story, and how the magazine’s invitation to Twitter to use a #MuslimRage hashtage turned to mockery of Newsweek. What’s more,…

The Muslim Brand of Liberty’s Ergun Caner

By Hussein Rashid

…who wants to be seen as having knowledge about “Islam” by virtue of being Arab. They leverage the worst stereotypes of Muslims, particularly with respect to gender relations—notice how many of these speakers are women. They would not carry out acts of violence, but they have no problem suggesting that Muslims should be treated violently. The mean girls try to rule supreme. Perhaps the most underappreciated of all of these cast of characters is th…
