The Fallout From “Spinning Ft. Hood”

By The Editors

…ng-standing in the case of Islam, and of more recent vintage among the FOX news tea-baggers et al., deserve our attention and full gaze. They should not be swept under the rug in the interests of the sensitive feelings of those who, as apparently exemplified by the quotes in this article, do not fully understand their own traditions. Sensitive feelings can be genuine, but they can also be, as rioting after various blasphemous events has made clear…

Pigging Out: What ‘Radically Unkosher’ Jewish Foodies Like Michael Pollan Are Missing

By Jonathan Schorsch

…Jewish foodies. Kashrut comes within a dense, rich, long-standing culture promoting, ideally, upright, prudent, modest living, including, reverence for and balanced coexistence with the natural world. The final, and perhaps greatest irony to the dismissal of kashrut, is that Jews through the ages have adopted the local cuisines and food cultures of all of their homelands—whether Persia, Greece, Morocco, Poland, or India—and adapted them all quite…

Times‘ Cutesy Guide Veils Humanity of Muslim Women

By Mariam Durrani

…‘ ‘World’ page, beneath articles about British political parties, economic news stories, and other matters of international newsworthiness, you’ll find a peculiar section called: “What in the World.” Sandwiched between articles on cows belching in India and a cutesy rumination on nicknames for Nobel Laureate Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, you’ll find an article about what to call that thing on a woman’s head in various Muslim countries. “What’s That You’re…

Dispatches from the Workplace: The Big Squeeze

By Kim Bobo

…ar, and Myra Bronstein, who was required to train her own replacement from India in order to qualify for severance. Greenhouse then provides an overview of what’s going on for workers: One of the least examined but most important trends taking place in the United States today is the broad decline in the status and treatment of American workers—white-collar and blue-collar workers, middle-class and low-end workers—that began nearly three decades ag…

American Buddhism: Beyond the Search for Inner Peace

By Joshua Eaton

…izens. Finally, I’m curious: you’ve talked in interviews about your online news reading. What news sources do you regularly read? I normally look at several alternative news sources and commentaries. I follow Democracy Now! almost daily—though I don’t watch all segments every day. I also read Common Dreams, Truthout, AlterNet, TomDispatch, and Climate Progress. The commentators that I most appreciate are Amy Goodman, Glenn Greenwald on justice is…

Muslim Women Go Public

By Fatemeh Fakhraie

…med V. Morocco sent many of these preachers to Europe for Ramadan, and the news of their recruitment, training, and graduating was covered in worldwide outlets. • Dr. Amina Wadud garnered worldwide media attention for her leading Muslim prayer in the U.S. and Britain. Other Muslim women have led mixed-gender prayers and also lead khutbahs in several different countries (or sermons). • Laleh Bakhtiar’s 2007 English translation of the Qur’an gained…

Hagee and McCain Part Ways

By Ira Chernus

…ish vote is concentrated in states that are almost bound to go Democratic (New York, California, Illinois). Among the big swing states, only Florida supposedly has a crucial Jewish vote. Yet it turns out to be only about 5%. Surely the Catholic vote even in Florida is bigger than that. Why do McCain and his campaign strategists think that they can risk offending Catholics more than they can risk offending Jews? What does that tell us about their a…

Will Istanbul Ever Be a Part of the European Union?

By Haroon Moghul

…orth, probably Dubai in the south, central Europe in the west and probably India in the east to get this kind of economic power. It doesn’t deserve to be second fiddle to anyone, and with Turkey’s rise, I can see it playing a global role, in the near future, commensurate with its historic one. At the moment I’m overlooking the last stop on the European rail network. From here, you can go all the way to London. There’s another rail station on the A…

Doll Says “Islam Is The Light”: People Freak Out

By Hussein Rashid

…maginary fear, that blinds them to the real and immediate danger. As a parent, my immediate concern is that Mattel’s manufacturing process was violated. How did it happen? What is being done to remedy the situation? Almost half the Muslim world lives in the five countries of Indonesia, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Turkey. All of them have democratically elected a female head of state. MAMAs may find the message offensive—that is their right—bu…

Turkey and Egypt: Islam’s Future?

By Haroon Moghul

…. Muslims often focus more on making Muslims better Muslims than on making new Muslims. Take the largest Muslim movement in the world, the Tablighi Jama’at; it’s a non-hierarchical movement of Muslims leaving their homes to visit other Muslim communities, encouraging congregations to renew their focus on core Islamic practices. Muslim reformers of all stripes seek to take Islam back to the spirit of the Prophet Muhammad, the embodiment of moral tr…
