By Kaya Oakes

…r “Ripple” conversation, and today, there are hundreds of Dead songs on my phone and dozens of live recordings in playlists, even a nod when I see a Deadhead sticker on a car. I am a relapsed Catholic, and thanks to my friend, I am also a repentant Deadhead. Dear Jesus, let me confess: I even wear Birkenstocks. Shannon. Deadshow, Deadhead. Dominquez Hills, 1990.

…cultures. (One such acquaintance, a candidate for British Parliament from Glasgow, represents the Scottish National Party.) That Muslims are incapable of change is similarly inaccurate. I will let Caldwell disprove himself on this point. He observes that Turkey has democratized over the past decades, and this partway explains the more confident role Islam plays in Turkish culture. Is that not a change? That Muslims are all opposed to democracy, a…

Why Don’t Muslims Condemn Terrorism?

By Hussein Rashid

…nglophone metropole, and I assume most people think of New York (9/11) and London (7/7). How many thought of Madrid (3/11)? With New York and London we are witnesses, at a distance, of the lives of the people who died and, to a certain extent, the people who carried out these attacks. We know at least some of their names and we’re inundated with multiple day coverage of the event. With Madrid, the dominant coverage after the attack was the arrest…

…lorer of art, life, and beauty until a couple of weeks before his death in London on Thursday June 9. In 2003, to celebrate his 88th birthday, he produced 88 oils across four Indian cities. “After open-heart surgery they said: ‘take it easy, and only paint miniatures,’” he scoffed, referring to an operation he had in 1988. Yet controversy embroiled him from the mid-’90s because he loved, and painted from, India. Politically-minded Hindu partisans…

So we assumed people would come, see it was a good time, and eventually we would start doing community things.

America, the Mythical: “Mother of Exiles” or Denier of Safe Haven?

By Ed Simon

…eruse. It would, perhaps, be just as well to say that the Mayflower Pub in London is the place where “America was born” as Plymouth Rock in Massachusetts. Of course there is no real moment when “America was born.” That a pub in South London is as suitable a christening place as a beach in New England speaks to the arbitrary power of myths. As concerns the religious separatists of 1620, legend can be as potent as fact. The pilgrims, and later the P…
