Did You Read About Conservative Judaism’s Anti-Black Antisemitic Smearing of Hebrew Israelites? Neither Did I

By A. E. Brooks-Key

…good will with purposeful misinformation. I fully respect the right of the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism to say who qualifies as a Conservative Jew or as clergy in their affiliated congregations. There’s nothing objectionable about either of these concerns if the USCJ likewise would frown upon an Orthodox, Reform, Reconstructionist, Renewal, or Humanistic (did I leave anyone out) ordained rabbi from also serving in the same capacity as…

Who Gets Paid to Make America Hate? The Roots of the Islamophobia Network

By Haroon Moghul

…he concocted rhetoric about a supposed Islamic allergy to freedom. As the United States faces shifting economic and geopolitical patterns, the Muslim-majority world will become increasingly important to the direction the world takes. That also includes the global relevance of democratic institutions, which is good for us, since right now the Western world is economically troubled, and challenged by rising authoritarian powers. Arab and Muslim…

Confusion Reigns on Cairo Streets

By H.A. Hellyer

…f leaders. This was and is a leaderless and rudderless unrest, who are not united on a vision for the future past a very few basic demands. They’ve made a number of strategic errors, and will probably continue to do so. As I left, I thought that eventually, they’d all just go home, and then we would see how the coming months would unfold. That the next nine months would be a time of transition for Egypt, and that at the end of it, Mubarak would re…

Behind New Zealand Terror Attack Is a Problem Bigger Than Islamophobia

By Murali Balaji

…rism and pluralism. While white Christian nationalism has its roots in the United States during Reconstruction, it grew in the 1960s as the evangelical movement attracted new congregants fearful of racial and gender equality activism. Over time, these congregants conflated their racial resentment with religiosity, and viewed the idea of a secular country—and a pluralistic one—as tantamount to their extinction. This Christian nationalism found its…

Religious Persecution Wolf in Anti-Defamation Sheep’s Clothing

By Austin Dacey

…the OIC is criticized most strenuously by those within OIC countries, like Arab human rights advocates and persecuted minority faiths like the Baha’i and the Ahmadiyya. These vulnerable communities know that the talk of safeguarding belief abroad will only safeguard the abuse of power at home. In Pakistan, blasphemy is a crime punished by death or life in prison. Pakistan’s blasphemy laws are regularly used against the Ahmadiyya, who are officiall…

LGBT Rights in the New Egypt

By Hussein Rashid

…he state, typified by the Queen Boat trials. She also correctly notes that Arab culture is infused with homoerotic imagery and actions. A scholar like Khaled El-Rouayheb argues that what we now call homosexuality was much more accepted in the pre-modern Islamic period. And Alaa Al-Awany’s wonderful novel The Yacoubian Building shows what an open secret homosexuality is in Egypt. More importantly, and credit to the interviewer Michelangelo Signori…

Rabbi Lerner is Wrong on Rahm

By Hussein Rashid

…de over at Abu Aardvark as to how the announcement is being greeted in the Arab world. It seems to be with the same alarmism that Rabbi Lerner displays. Unfortunately, while we can discuss our disagreements with Rabbi Lerner, the damage to President-elect Obama’s reputation could be severe. Rep. Emmanuel’s appointment is a public diplomacy mistake, not in his appointment, but in the preparation of the announcement. I believe that there needs to be…

Herman Cain Doesn’t Know his Afghan from his Uzbek

By Haroon Moghul

…o do to win in Afghanistan. Uzbekistan is once again very important to the United States. As Pakistan becomes a more unwilling ally, and sending supplies through Pakistani access points to Afghanistan becomes a more difficult and dangerous proposition, the Obama administration has been making overtures to Uzbekistan. If it helps things any, think of central Asia as another corner of the Muslim world that resembles the Arab world politically. In a…

The Uneasy Coexistence of the Cairo Rumor Mill with Muslim Principle of Isnad

By H.A. Hellyer

…ciety, and Islamic thought is based on the principle of ‘isnad’ – from the Arabic word that means ‘support’. The idea is that no principle or idea can be believed or relied upon unless it has a confirmed and absolute chain of transmission, so that people can verify the authenticity of the information that is coming to them. It’s described by some Muslim sages as being the secret of Islam that ensures that it remains authentic to the original teach…

ISIS, Walking Dead and Our Zombie Moral Compass

By Evan Derkacz

…the story has largely been, in effect, that it’s because they’re Muslims. Arab Muslims. Islam is “the mother lode of bad ideas,” as Sam Harris recently said, referring to Islam’s alleged intrinsic opposition to liberalism. Beyond being offensive and unsophisticated, the racial/ethnic/religion frame lacks logic. It holds little explanatory value since, as anyone who can read data can see, attitudes greatly differ according to which Muslim country…
