Embed from Getty Images By Sabeeha Rehman A bomb goes off in my neighborhood. I sit stunned and horrified, as the news flashes on my computer screen. My husband had just gone out to mail a letter. Dear God. Let him be ok. I reach out to call him. No answer. Maybe he didn’t hear the phone ring. Please let him be ok. I grab my keys and rush out. Come on, elevator! I turnaround, make my way to the... Read more

This is the second in a four-part series focusing on the 2016 election cycle and how American Muslim communities factor into the political process. Click here for part one. By Youssef Chouhoud One of the hallmark theories in political science is the so-called “paradox of voting.” The reward citizens get from casting a ballot, according to this model, is a function of the benefit accrued from their preferred candidate being elected, multiplied by the probability that their vote would prove pivotal,...

Last updated on: October 11, 2016 at 2:10 pm By Guest Contributor

Regardless of party affiliation or what we may think of either candidate in the presidential election this much is clear: America is at a crossroads. Not to sound alarmist, but the very fate of our nation and the direction we want to take our nation lies in this years’ presidential election on who we could potentially have as... Read more

Last updated on: October 7, 2016 at 1:34 pm By Guest Contributor

By Asma Uddin and Rabbi Jack Moline What is the purpose of terror attacks against civilians, like what we saw recently in New York, Minnesota and New Jersey? They don’t just aim to harm innocent life, they also aim to inflict spiritual harm against our nation as a whole. They seek to weaken us, provoke fear and cause neighbor to turn against neighbor. We pray for those injured in the attacks and we renew our resolve to not fall prey... Read more

Noor Tagouri in Playboy: Embodied Dialogic Journalism

Last updated on: October 9, 2025 at 3:59 pm By Guest Contributor

Noor Tagouri’s journalistic approach in her appearance in Playboy’s 2016 Renegades issue functioned as embodied storytelling — using visibility itself as a narrative device to spark dialogue. By combining two contrasting representations — hijab and Playboy — she foregrounded a new visibility that invited reflection and engagement. Embodiment as Narrative By appearing as herself — a woman, a Muslim, a hijab-wearing journalist — in a magazine historically associated with opposing imagery, Tagouri created an encounter that defied simple interpretation. Her act became a form... Read more
