We have been for some time now teetering on the brink of disaster with Iran, formerly known as Persia, and amid all of this, who rises to become America’s most beloved poet? Walt Whitman? Robert Frost? No, a Persian Sufi whirling dervish from Afghanistan who preached of u…

…unist government, which gesture led to the deaths of nearly ten percent of Afghanistan’s population. Afghanistan has still not recovered.

By Peter Montgomery

…. But who is to decide what constitutes a “vice against nature”? The Portuguese legislators had been too coy to mention gay sex explicitly, and so a meaningless clause entered the statute books, which no court could act upon.

An Open Letter to Western Feminists

By Shabana Mir

…neously evade any mention about the plight of women in Palestine, Iraq, or Afghanistan. Their statements continue to focus only on female genital mutilation or dowry deaths under the guise of breaking the “politically correct” silence on abuses of women in the “Muslim world” that the Right disingenuously laments. Some progressives may support such statements with good intentions, but these critiques ignore the fact that Palestinian, Arab, and Musl…
