#HijabiLivesMatter: The Burkini Ban, Black Hair and the Meaning of “Natural”

By Shaina Hammerman

…que” (“I am secular”), the way one might say, “I am Jewish/Muslim/Catholic/Arab.” In 2016, America has #BlackLivesMatter, and France has #JeSuisParis. On one level, both proclamations encourage empathy with the innocent victims of senseless violence.While black Americans can fully claim BLM, not all French citizens can proclaim #JeSuisParis and be believed. This is because, as one of the women interviewed in the Times made explicit, “My heart is 1…

The Anti-Defamation League Jumps the Shark

By Jay Michaelson

…ack. In an interview with the Forward, the largest Jewish newspaper in the United States, Foxman explained that, to him, this controversy was like the one in the late 1980s over a Carmelite convent at Auschwitz. Then, Foxman said, “we asked the world to understand our pain, our sensitivity.” And now? “I felt and we felt that here is another group who is in the same position.” Of course, there are at least two huge holes in the syllogism here. The…

Egyptians Queue Up to Say: On February 4, 2011, I was in Tahrir Square

By H.A. Hellyer

…Moussa (the former foreign minister of Egypt, and Secretary General of the Arab League). The Mufti of Egypt declared he would resign if a single protestor were harmed; but there was no sign today at Tahrir Square that any real violence would occur. As the Muslim protestors carried out their congregational prayers in the square, and their Christian compatriots protected them as human shields, the imam of the main mosque in Tahrir Square declared, “…

Paranoia Over Foreigners in Egypt Eclipsed by Cooperation

By H.A. Hellyer

…e scene of a protest bereft of state authority, the magnitude of which the Arab world has never seen, is remarkably safe. Going across Cairo, on the other hand, if one chooses to go by car, and holds a foreign passport, one is likely to find their way home elongated quite a bit. I had the misfortune of being stuck outside my neighbourhood after curfew, and took a cab to get home – bad idea. Better to walk home, and take an hour or so in the walkin…

How a Bill O’Reilly Bestseller Helps Explain the Anti-Semitism Behind the Poway Shooting

By Tony Keddie

…ods and Kings (2014). In response to this criticism, Scott hired actors of Arab, African, and Indian descent for Killing Jesus. The Lebanese-American actor Haaz Sleiman was even cast as Jesus. But here’s the rub: while Scott hired people of color to play Jesus and his disciples, he hired white actors of European descent to portray the Roman elites, Herodian kings (Kelsey Grammer—Frasier himself—is Herod!), Jewish high priests, and the traitor Juda…

Intellectualized Islamophobia

By Hussein Rashid

…pansion, with classical Greek and Latin thought being transmitted from the Arab-Muslim world back into Europe; with Venice adopting the architecture of the “East.” If it was not for this flow of ideas, the Enlightenment may never have come to pass. While there may be fantasies of returning to a great colonial past, the so-called “Golden Age” of Islam happened long before colonization. The attempt to “spread democracy” in the Middle East under Pres…

Israel’s Immigration Debate: “Where is the Jewish Spirit?”

By Mati Wagner

…the advent of Eurabia and the imminent demise of European culture. In the United States, meanwhile, a controversial immigration law granting law enforcement officers wider powers to question and arrest suspected illegal aliens was adopted by the state of Arizona. The law, nixed this week by a federal judge, has sparked lively debate. At least one Republican legislator has recommended a change in the 14th Amendment granting US citizenship to anyon…

Of Gods and Men Resurrects Martyrdom

By Nathan Schneider

…eeds at a monk’s pace, with long silent portions between spoken French and Arabic. It’s to Beauvois’ credit that you’ll never wish you could fast-forward; as for a monk, there is no reason to hurry. Such ordinariness is also a feature of the martyrdom he portrays. It stems from neither overzealousness nor a death wish. (May some early Christian martyrs forgive me for saying they could’ve learned from this.) The monks aren’t living in harm’s way si…

The Politically Incorrect Guide to Ramadan

By Haroon Moghul

…e’s not going to take (the Imam’s recitation of Qur’an) anymore. See also: Arab Spring, spillover of. Eid: ‘Die’ spelled backwards, because that’s how you feel when you stuff your face early in the AM after doing the very opposite for 29 or 30 days; also, a holiday celebrated across the Muslim world at the conclusion of Ramadan (and another one, concluding the Hajj, some seventy days apart. Did you think of 72 virgins? Good for you.) Because it co…

Updated: A Response to President Obama’s Speech in Cairo

By Hussein Rashid

…the points I hoped he would. He began with the traditional greeting of the Arab and Muslim worlds, as-salam alaykum (peace be upon you). He then talked about the importance of Al-Azhar University, the problem of settlements, Sunni-Shi’ah conflict, interfaith history, the history of Muslims in America, and rule of tyrany under the guise of democracy. Of course, he touched on much more and in much more depth. It is worth looking at the content of hi…
