Leave Your Stereotypes at the Door: 10Q on “Keeping it Halal”

By John O'Brien

…cultural tensions when living in an “Islamic” context, that of the United Arab Emirates. I’ve spent over a year hanging out and talking to people at a social club for Westerners and conducted interviews of mostly white British and American expatriates. Central themes emerging in this project so far include how white migrants from Europe and America construct and maintain a pan-Western white identity within a highly multicultural Arab society, as…

Australian Church Leaders See Marriage Vote as Battle for Soul of Australia: Global LGBT Recap 10/30

By Peter Montgomery

…frica, who were among 13 human rights activists detained and charged with “promoting homosexuality,” were deported: Local police chief Lazaro Mambosasa said they had been “promoting homosexuality”. “Tanzanian law forbids this act between people of the same sex, it is a violation of our country’s laws,” said Mambosasa. Just days later an NGO, the Community Health Education Services and Advocacy (CHESA) centre, was suspended on the same charge and a…

Doing a Dukakis (But with Jesus) — Biden Does Not Need to Be More Publicly Christian

By Chrissy Stroop

…a misappropriation of resources. That money would be better spent on voter registration and ground game turnout efforts among the Democratic base, or on powerful messaging on reproductive freedom, which has worked strongly in Democrats’ favor since the illegitimately stacked Supreme Court overturned Roe. Democrats also have a lot of work to do to shore up their base this year given how many have been alienated by Biden’s refusal to stop supplying…

The Biblical Money Code!

By Gordon Haber

…we find an investment advisor named Sean Hyman pushing “The Biblical Money Code,” which claims that advice “woven” into Scripture has helped him go from earning $15,000 to giving away up to $50,000 a year. Unlike Hovind, Hyman is giving away his system for free. All you have to do is sit through an hour-long video, during which Hyman explains how “to unlock vast amounts of wealth safely and ethically.” Fancy explanations are provided, but it’s act…

Capricology: Tattoos, Blood, Cyber-Dating

By Anthea Butler

…ke away that free will, except for those who have the capacity to hack the code and reprogram the car. We normally think of robots as almost pure code, yet the scene last week when Graystone orders the Zoebot to rip off her arm raises some interesting stakes in this. It seems to me that people may be treating the Cylons differently depending on what mix of code and law they believe governs their behavior. And of course, those of you who study reli…

Goliath the Israel Slayer: Why Max Blumenthal’s New Book is a Painful Read

By Shaul Magid

…f Israel’s democracy, which reveals the failure of Israel to integrate its Arab population. An early Zionist once said “The success or failure of Zionism will depend on how its treats its Arab population.” Among the more damning parts of Goliath are selected comments of Israeli leaders before 1967, like Moshe Dayan’s open acknowledgment of Israel’s “colonialist” polices; more recent events like the settlers’ consistent abuse of Palestinians under…

Busta Rhymes Offends Arabs, Then Muslims

By Fatemeh Fakhraie

…licious a few weeks ago. My major qualm: the song’s offensive portrayal of Arabs. Since addressing criticisms that the song is offensive to Arabs, Busta Rhymes has released a remix featuring Akon, Lil Wayne, Diddy, Swizz Beatz, and T-Pain, except the remix promises to cause him just as much trouble as the first version, only this time with Muslims. In the remix of “Arab Money,” one of the guest stars (frankly, I can’t tell who with the voice box)…

Islamophobia and Racism: Civil Rights at the Breaking Point

By Erik Love

…” Is there anything you had to leave out? I wanted to look more closely at Arab American civil rights activism in the 1980s and earlier. Fortunately, several excellent books (like Pamela E. Pennock’s The Rise of the Arab American Left) provide in-depth discussions of this history. I also devoted far too little attention to the relationships between primarily “immigrant Muslim” advocates and African-American and other “native Muslim” advocacy effor…

RDPulpit: Ahmadinejad Gives Another Victory to the Israeli Right

By Rabbi Michael Lerner

…y support in Israel or among the Jewish people as a whole is that too many Arabs and Palestinians seek not a two-state solution, but the total elimination of the State of Israel as a Jewish homeland. Ahmadinejad, like Hamas, and like many other voices in the Arab and Islamic world, conflate legitimate criticism of Israel’s policies with an assault on Israel’s existence; an error which becomes even more outrageous when linked to a denial of the Hol…

Forget the Pope—We Need a New Caliph!

By Haroon Moghul

…defend itself. Not to mention, with only 20% of the world’s Muslims being Arab, this would be a little too convenient, especially for all the Muslims tired of Arab-centric Islam. Also, his Caliphate would mainstream melodramatic Egyptian soap operas, hookahs, and intrusive Egyptian mother-in-laws to the world. Plus Egyptians would be insufferable: ‘Hey, we invented civilization!’ ‘Hey we overthrew a dictator!’ ‘Hey we have the Caliph!’ Ugh. (V)…
