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…

By Deborah Whitehead

…convincing was this product launch, complete with Facebook ad campaign and promotional website including a promo video that went viral, that a number of customers were disappointed and angry to find out that it was a fake. Part of the confusion seems to have been that the launch occurred on March 28, not the customary April 1. But just as important was consumer demand.

Innocent Until Proven Muslim — A Q&A with Dr. Maha Hilal

By Habiba Farh

…the War on Terror is over—Biden said this during the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, that the war is over.[7] They don’t understand that the War on Terror is much bigger than a visible, active [military] presence in countries like Iraq and Afghanistan, so they believe the war is over. This is also an indication of what war means to Americans domestically. What does it mean for the war to be over? For people in the U.S. versus people in the coun…

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.

Goy to the World: What Does Hanukkah Have to Teach Us About Living in Empire?

…ssion, then what? And how should we interpret a phrase like “the people of Afghanistan and Iraq” in one of my statements above? Which people? If an American occupying force is not viewed with favor by the people of Afghanistan, is a federation of local warlords? Does a girl whose face has been disfigured by a fanatic’s acid worry as much as I do about the dangers of American imperialism? That said, if a “good friend of America” oppressed its women…

Right Makes Might: The President as Political Realist

By John D. Carlson

…nvading a country and overthrowing its government. The US may have been in Afghanistan for eight years, but it never committed the resources to succeed. Obama, following Niebuhr, reminds us we are not as innocent as we think; amending for previous mistakes requires showing Afghans the US is serious about earning—quickly, one hopes—the right to withdraw. Finally, if Obama wants to root himself within the ethical realist tradition embodied by other…

…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…

…t American Muslim civil rights and the plight of Muslims in such places as Afghanistan, Iraq, and the Palestinian territories. Given his five options, the teenager Mohamud chose, not surprisingly, to become “operational.” But all he knew about what it meant to become operational was based on what he had seen on the news, particularly the news coverage of car bombs in the Middle East and the November 26, 2008 attacks in Mumbai. Most tellingly in th…
