By Rebecca Barrett-Fox

…n of Iraq on false grounds, the failure of promised democracy to launch in Afghanistan, the abuses at Abu Ghraib, indefinite detentions at Guantanamo Bay, the collateral damage of drone attacks in Pakistan, and the untold civilian deaths (with estimates heading into the hundreds of thousands) associated with US-led wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are the events that could doom relations between the Muslim world and America. Symbolic acts do matter, b…

Humanitarian Victims or Christian Martyrs: What’s in a Word?

By Donald Heinz

…t in all the faces of the needy and marginalized. The Christian martyrs in Afghanistan called themselves “the hands and feet of Jesus, not his mouth.” There is a lesson here for “progressive religion” as well. Blasé secular liberals and fervent conservatives have long bought the notion that a religious Democrat is an oxymoron, and that any spiritually fervent Democrat is probably a hypocrite or a political panderer. No true Christian could be call…

Gun Owners of America Celebrates Defeat of Gun Control Amendments

By Sarah Posner

…not suitable for sporting use, and they would register all the rest. Since registration has never solved a crime in Canada, or in Hawaii, where they have registered handguns since the ‘30s, I wonder what they want that registration list for. I think most of the rest of the world has experienced what they want it for. It’s a grab list when the government decides that the subjects are getting a little uppity. A rifle is the emblem of a free man. So…

Found in Translation: How a Thirteenth-Century Islamic Poet Conquered America

By Ryann Croken

…er the circumstances on the ground. The United States is fighting a war in Afghanistan, the birthplace of Rumi. We’re fighting a war, of sorts, in Iraq, the birthplace of Sufism. We have been for some time now teetering on the brink of disaster with Iran, formerly known as Persia, and amid all of this, who rises to become America’s most beloved poet? Walt Whitman? Robert Frost? No, a Persian Sufi whirling dervish from Afghanistan who preached of u…

In recent years, al Qaeda in Pakistan and Afghanistan has become increasingly reliant on the military strength of regional allies such as the Afghan Taliban, the Tehrik-i Taliban Pakistan, and the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan. Each of these allies has an independent organizational structure and operates independently, though sometimes in alliance with, al Qaeda. The Afghan Taliban and the TTP also have a range of…

Is ISIS A Sign of the End Times? It May Only Matter That They Believe So

By Haroon Moghul

…re (remember, al-Qaeda was created in the course of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan); but also for this simple reason: Russian intervention confirms the jihadist narrative, which belongs especially, but not exclusively, to ISIS. Maybe it’s this vulnerability to ISIS and jihadist forces that makes Russia more inclined to act. In which case, of course, the move smacks less of resolve and more of desperation. Only a government that has so deeply a…

Are We Living Through World War III?

…entalist movements on the ground, preferring the more religiously extreme. Afghanistan has known war, occupation, starvation, extremism, and hardship, for some thirty-seven years now, and there appears to be no end in sight. Much more happened beside, but the nadir might have come with the Bush administration. Secular, democratic, modern. And violent. In 2003, the United States invaded Iraq on the obviously false pretext of weapons of mass destruc…

By Joshua Shanes

…We have seen unthinkable atrocities committed by the U.S., Hamas, Israel, Afghanistan, and the Taliban. I asked @SecBlinken where people are supposed to go for justice.” https://twitter.com/Ilhan/status/1401985884191404041 This summary introduction to a straightforward question evoked an avalanche of outrage by both Republicans and some Democrats.
