By Lucia Hulsether

…ground sustained arguments in favor of ongoing military campaigns in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan; domestic spying programs; and the adoption of policies like the one that recently invoked to deny Dzhokhar Tsarnaev a reading of his Miranda Rights.

By Haroon Moghul

…o now? But, of course, we’ve been here before. We overthrew the Taliban in Afghanistan, and we invaded Iraq. Bush declared the Taliban were no more, and that major combat operations in Iraq had ended. Though bin Laden is dead, however, the aftermath is much darker.

Alone in the booth, the billowing voices and squeaky sneakers on the wood floor and exasperated sighs from nearby voters fel…

Howling at the Moon

By Amina Wadud

…tants more important than Muslim civilians and combatants with the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. We have a very different sense of the shared human community now, and we need to adjust accordingly. This year, I face a dilemma because it seems the most pressing needs are actually in my own family. Some jurists say the zakah cannot be given to one’s own family. I think the rationale was appropriate for the extended family networks. If we give to our…

By Chrissy Stroop

…observers’ eyes. In addition, with the withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan and the rapid takeover of the country by the Taliban, white evangelicals’ status as the most anti-immigrant, anti-refugee religious demographic in the United States is receiving renewed attention. https://twitter.com/socofthesacred/status/1427973457703211012?s=20 With respect to Afghan refugees specifically, it should be noted that the National Association of Ev…

A Third Reconstruction? Rev. William Barber Lifts the Trumpet

By Peter Laarman

…So was Mother Emmanuel AME. So are the drone attacks on civilian homes in Afghanistan. So is the carpet-bombing of cities. But we have empirical proof that the Southern slave and Jim Crow states, where the great majority of African Americans and many Latinos live, are ripe for a new Southern Human Rights Moral Strategy. This new demographic in the South feels a deepening need for relief from the pain caused by extremist politicians who vote again…

Rage or Courage?: YouTube Terrorism Take Two

By Bruce B. Lawrence

…not only by world dominance but also by local occupying forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. A visual counterpoint to this perspective has been provided by Al-Jazeera English in a documentary first aired in late 2011 and repeatedly since. The 9/11 Decade tells the inside story of the 21st century’s most significant conflict in three one-hour episodes: “The Intelligence War,” “The Image War,” and “The Clash of Civilizations?” which strives to make three…

Why Obama for the Nobel? A Nudge? A Reminder?

By Louis A. Ruprecht

…ly what political message was intended. It is, he argues, an anti-surge-in-Afghanistan award.. Maybe. I’m less certain of how to read this decision as there are many ways to go. And perhaps a quick survey of several recent Nobel Peace Prize recipients who were also political figures may offer a longer historical view of the matter. Surely the most dramatic award in recent memory was the 1978 decision to recognize two men: Anwar al-Sadat and Menach…
