I won’t go into the particulars—you know them very well, as we are recounting them to each other at an […]  The Middle Eastern Christian Dilemma
by Samuel Tadros via The Caravan Writing in his famous book, What Went Wrong, the Middle East’s eminent historian, Bernard Lewis remarked that “according to Islamic law and tradition, there were three groups of people who did not benefit from the general Muslim principle of legal and religious equality – unbelievers, slaves, and women …. the rise of Western power and the spread of Western influence brought important changes to all three groups.” But while the drive for the emancipation of the three groups elicited fierce opposition, the reason was hardly the same. We Need A Better Definition Of 'Refugee' by Ayaan Hirsi Ali via The Washington Post The global asylum and refugee system is no longer fit for purpose.

Humanitarianism is displacing Christianity, but without its redeeming effects.  Religion And Politics In Israel
by Itamar Rabinovich via The Caravan A complex relationship between religion and politics is inherent in Israel’s character as a Jewish state. The term Jewish denotes both a religion and an ethnicity, and, for the past seventy years, Israel’s leaders have had to deal with a host of issues regarding religion’s role in the life and politics of the Jewish state.  Restoring Religion's Role In Foreign And Domestic Policy In Erdogan's Turkey
