In The Daily Beast, Niall Ferguson Says: Bomb Iran

By Haroon Moghul

…at man’s mind, surely he can come up with some other means by which we can promote good governance or counter dictatorship. Allow me to offer a bracing scenario. Let’s say we bomb Iran’s nuclear sites with sufficient force to provoke a crisis in its regime, which then begins to collapse. Just because a government falls doesn’t mean another will rise in its place. What will we have accomplished then? Creating an open front, so to speak, a giant sec…

Don’t Call it a Turkish Spring

By Haroon Moghul

…Arabic for utilitarian Latin, then erasing as much evidence of Persian and Arabic as he could. Going through the dictionary with a black highlighter. Even snipping out subversive letters. There is, for example, no ‘q’. But there would be, if he’d faithfully transliterated from Arabic. So a Shari’ah-compliant lounge called ‘Huqqa’? With fantastic views of the Bosphorus, situated on the far edge of Europe and facing the far edge of Asia—not some geo…

Palestinian Orthodox Christians, Desperate for Help, Have Caught the Attention of Russia

By Katherine Kelaidis

…he seized hotel. The vast majority of Christians in Israel are Palestinian Arabs, although they make up a small minority among Palestinians as a whole. Their status as a minority within a minority has been a source of significant difficulty for Arab Christians, and the sizable wealth of the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem has made it a target for both the Israeli government and Palestinian Authority. In 2020, an Israeli District Court rul…

No Democracy in Huckabee’s Orientalist Egypt

By Michael J. Altman

…inherently different about Egypt—something inherently different about the Arab world. Democracy won’t work there and we should just settle for stability, or so the narrative goes. The late Edward Said labeled this notion of inherent difference between the West and the East/Middle East “Orientalism.” In his groundbreaking study, aptly titled Orientalism, he wrote, “the Orient has helped to define Europe (or the West) as its contrasting image, idea…

The Women’s March, Anti-Semitism, and ‘The Jewish Farrakhan’

By Shaul Magid

…uspended sentence. Kahane immigrated to Israel in 1971 but returned to the United States often, becoming a leading figure in the Movement for Soviet Jewry. After numerous parole violations, Kahane was sentenced in 1975 to serve a year in the Allenwood prison before returning to Israel to launch his political career. Founding his own party, he was elected to the Israeli Parliament in 1984, and in 1987 the Parliament passed a “Racism Law” (written s…

What Did Kyrie Say That Was So Wrong? When Black Antisemitism Meets White Jewish Privilege

By A. E. Brooks-Key

…cademic discussion in linguistics engaged in a conversation about Semites? Arabic being the most widely spoken Semitic language is (once again outside of linguistics) rarely discussed in the context of its identification as a Semitic language, and Arabic speakers are not generally described principally as “Semites.” Let’s call this notion of Semites: “linguistic Semite-ness.” In response to the assertion “Jews ain’t the only Semites” we must admit…

Why Salma Hayek Adapting The Prophet for Screen Makes Sense

By Brook Wilensky-Lanford

…flaged nightstand. Apparently it was good PR to be shown with a book by an Arab writer. Which brings us back to Salma Hayek. Although we think of her as “Mexican-American,” she is actually “Mexican-Lebanese-American.” Her ancestors left Lebanon in the late 19th or early 20th century in search of a better life, as did The Prophet’s author Kahlil Gibran. Gibran came to the U.S. 1895, at age 12, with his mother, two sisters and brother. Hayek, who is…

Feisal Abdul-Rauf Still not Providing Leadership on Park51

By Hussein Rashid

Feisal Abdul-Rauf’s return to the United States, first from an extended visit to Malaysia and then an a short State Department-funded trip to several Arab nations, reignites the questions about leadership at the Park51 Project. His return resulted in a coordinated media outreach that continues to confuse the issue and show that no one really seems to be in charge. Abdul-Rauf begins this media offensive by writing an op-ed in the New York Times, i…

No Virginia, There’s No “Clash of Civilizations”

By Anne Norton

…rd!”; the sorrow of Yehuda Amichai “everything in three languages/ Hebrew, Arabic and death”; and the strength of Langston Hughes, “Don’t be discouraged, builder.” What’s your next book? Usually one book shows me the way to another. I wanted to make it clear in this book that Islam is not “the other of democracy,” hostile to democracy or working against it. As I wrote, the Arab Spring came. Watching the people of Cairo, I remembered something I ha…
