Free Arabs: Satire, Disobedience, and Disclaimers

By Nabil Echchaibi

…nt in Canada who keeps a diary against veiling. And the site’s Art section promotes controversial photo galleries on beauty and veiling, cultural and gender identities in Islam, and the use of humor in the Syrian war frontlines, among other things. As a critical space, Free Arab should be commended for promoting individual rights and civil liberties in the Arab context. The site’s work is also significant because it tries to locate secularism as a…

5 Reasons the Muslim Brotherhood Won’t Turn On Israel

By Haroon Moghul

…cs” become redundant. Hence Turkey talks to Iran, but talks to Israel, and Qatar talks to Hamas but also welcomes a US military presence in the region. I think that the Brotherhood’s position will probably be more in line with a hard bargain: “We’re not going to recognize Israel until we receive certain concessions for the Palestinian side.” But, if they are in power in any capacity, their ability to get any such concessions depends on their havin…

Can Mormon Glenn Beck Unite the Christian Right?

By Kathryn Joyce

…read of US culture-war tactics across the globe—from the Czech Republic to Qatar, where right-wing Mormon activist and WCF cofounder Richard Wilkins has found enough common cause with Muslim fundamentalists to build the Doha International Institute for Family Studies and Development. Wilkins joked to Butler that the coalition was “a very loose one of many good friends who are convinced I am going to burn in hell.” But the jocularity of his admissi…

How to Prevent Ethnic Cleansing in Syria

By Haroon Moghul

…Even the awkward and ultimately unsustainable political compromise that is today’s Bosnia suggests how hard it is to realize democracy and multiculturalism. But in Sarajevo, which has become overwhelmingly Muslim since the war, still you see, along with numerous mosques, Orthodox and Catholic churches. Sarajevo is the kind of city that doesn’t exist anymore in much of Europe, an echo of a messier patchwork of peoples and faiths that was once chara…

Missing the Forest for the Witches

By Joseph Laycock

…Constitution. In fact, much of their business comes from countries such as Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and Yemen that have very different notions of free speech and the separation between church and state. It was thoughtless for the library to check the box marked “occult” when planning their Internet filtering policy, but what’s even more disturbing here is that something as central to a democratic society as which sites can be accessed in a…

Will the Taliban Actually Remain Somewhat Moderate This Time?

By Mark Juergensmeyer

…esented President Donald Trump in meetings with Taliban representatives in Qatar. Trump essentially surrendered to the Taliban in exchange for assurances that the US would withdraw peaceably. The US. then drew down its military presence to a tiny fraction of what it had been before, and with no assurances given to the Afghan government (which wasn’t even a party to the negotiations), the US agreed to withdraw all of its troops by mid-2021. This wa…

Muslim Brotherhood: Protect Churches; Mufti Exempts Egyptians from Friday Prayer

By H.A. Hellyer

…angerous situation where they are. In stark contrast, Yusuf al-Qaradawi of Qatar argued that it was religiously compulsory to attend protests after prayers tomorrow. Yet again, however, it seems clear—the people on the streets, whether defending their homes, or protesting (regardless of the side) might be praying, but they’re not listening to any religious leader in particular. One sector of society might be paying attention: and those are the fan…

American Anti-Gay Campaign in Africa Opposes “Fictitious Sexual Rights”

By Warren Throckmorton

…es. Slater told me the same thing, saying “We do not support any laws that promote violence against homosexuals.” She added that her organization presents research showing that gays can change orientation. Such research is relevant to her stance because, “laws that promote violence would discourage therapy for people with unwanted same-sex attraction.” I asked Mrs. Slater if she considers a 14-year jail sentence a form of violence. She said that h…

By Haroon Moghul

…Mauritania, Morocco, Algeria, Libya, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Oman, Yemen, and Bahrain. That’s 15 countries, including the most populous, Egypt. And while I’m not sure about The Sudan, there are of course strong restrictions around women’s dress in Saudi Arabia. That’s possibly 2 countries for the other side. (In fact, in the whole Muslim world, only two other countries legally mandate the veil…

We Were Here Before September 11th

By Amina Wadud

…ca—except for those spokes persons who have literally capitalized on it to promote the “friendly neighborhood” variety. In fact, most of us lost and lost a great deal. That being said, I do however condemn terrorism. But I am not selective. I do not just condemn terrorism done by fellow Muslims; I condemn terrorism done against fellow Muslim—whether as a civil act of disobedience, or as a collective act of a powerful government. And because my con…
