Inside Outsourced: Come See Where Your Jobs Went

By Haroon Moghul

…nd their sheikh wants to fund you, but if you want to make a film about an African-American, Muslim single mother in the hood who’s torn between protecting her daughter and running a drug ring she inherited, good luck! The latter is a script by new filmmaker Nia Malika Dixon, and would probably interest a more popular audience than a Hajj film. And for all the talk about bridging gaps between affluent immigrant Muslim groups and the longstanding A…

Harry Jackson Shakes Religious Right Money Tree for “Below the Radar” Anti-Obama Campaign

By Peter Montgomery

…ircumspect, perhaps because he is asking for checks to be made to his self-promoting High Impact Leadership Coalition, whose website says it is a 501(c)(3) organization and which seems to operate as a ministry of his church. Jackson said on the call that his campaign “really is a defense of marriage strategy” designed to make sure whoever is president cannot change the definition of marriage. But later in the call he spoke admiringly about strateg…

Something So Broken: What’s Frightening About Beasts of the Southern Wild

By Michael Pasquier

…cinates me about Louisiana. There’s just some sort of internal or external freedom that exists there that I don’t feel anywhere else in America… There’s some kind of enlightenment that exists in Louisiana. There’s a fearlessness in the culture down there that has everything to do with how close to death it is. If we take Zeitlin at his word—that Louisiana is some kind of grim pleasure garden of freedom and frivolity that perspires enlightenment, v…

Obama’s Marriage Switch Will Have No Impact on Election

By Sarah Posner

…uncement did not alter their opinion of Obama. About two-thirds (68%) say this, while about as many say it made them view Obama more favorably (16%) as less favorably (13%). In other words, it’s a wash. Those Republicans weren’t going to vote for him anyway, and it doesn’t appear the impact on African-American perceptions of him matches the hype that Obama was going to experience a dip in support….

The Failure of Obama’s Faith Strategy Revealed

By Sarah Posner

…e compelled to perform or otherwise assist same-sex ceremonies, “religious freedom” will be the cover for pastors and their followers who are loathe to use the bigoted language of someone like Bryan Fischer but nonetheless are opposed to marriage equality. This isn’t the first time Hunter has raised “religious freedom” concerns. He did it in response to the Obama administration’s contraception coverage requirement under the Affordable Care Act as…

Why Peter Beinart is Wrong on Democrats and Anti-Mormonism

By Joanna Brooks

…nt of Democrats would oppose a Mormon candidate, compared to 18 percent of Republicans (as though the question can be treated in the abstract when a particular Mormon, a Republican, is actually participating the race). He then meanders into half-cooked theorizations of what constitutes “anti-Mormon bigotry,” suggesting that “African-Americans, gays, and lesbians are more anti-Mormon” because they use “the church’s historic (and even present-day) i…

Amid Horrors, Muslim ‘John Hancocks’ Forge Secular Sudan

By Frederick Clarkson

…b Islamic nationalists in Khartoum are historically at odds with the Black Africans, including African Muslims. Ismail says that this history can be overcome so that one day everyone “can identify as Sudanese.” The authors of the Political Declaration do, however, want to continue the discussion. “We have not yet created the tools of making it operational, and to make it the rallying point,” notes Ismail. “But everyone agrees: It is the Bible for…

LDS Church Acknowledges Past Racism, Repudiates Racist Remarks

By Joanna Brooks

…n the Church there was a restriction on the priesthood for male members of African descent. It is not known precisely why, how, or when this restriction began in the Church but what is clear is that it ended decades ago. Some have attempted to explain the reason for this restriction but these attempts should be viewed as speculation and opinion, not doctrine. The Church is not bound by speculation or opinions given with limited understanding. We c…

NYPD Lied About Islamophobic Third Jihad

By Hussein Rashid

…t The Atlantic, Ta-Nehisi Coates continues to document police profiling of African Americans, and now Muslims. Essentially, the NYPD is getting further militarized, arrogating powers normally given to the FBI and the CIA. They’re even working with the CIA, in a move that barely skirts the law preventing the CIA from carrying out domestic spying operations. In fact, what the NYPD has been doing seems to be done without the necessary legal approval…

Jesus, Carpet Bomb My Heart: An Undercover Muslim in Detroit

By Haroon Moghul

…ty from Friday night, the warm and smiley openness, had vanished. Love and freedom were convenient catchphrases justifying the identification of nearly one-quarter of humanity with the demonic. It’s one thing to say that you’d like Muslims to convert to Christianity. Fair enough. Many Muslims want Christians to convert to Islam. It’s another thing to so brazenly misrepresent Islam. Conflicts in the past could be safely broached, but when it came t…
