    Slightly outside our area, but important. Western media can be very lazy with important details. Nasim is a recent Dickinson grad.

  • Afghanistan has to be strong enough to assert itself in the ongoing Great Game
  • A more realistic (and prudent) national security policy is to aggressively support transitions from weak or autocratic states to pluralistic and democratic societies, whether in South Asia, North Africa, or the Middle East. U.S. leadership and engagement will still be vital, but with less reliance on military means and greater use of civilian tools.

  • I am very excited that the Middle East Studies program has been able to bring Waltz with Bashir to Carlisle.  It will play for four nights at the Carlisle Theatre, a cool art deco relic.  On the last evening, next Wednesday, I will moderate a panel discussion after the showing.  Among the panelists will be someone who was serving in the Israeli army at the time of the 1982 invasion of Lebanon - the events remembered in the film - as well as someone who was protesting the war as a member of Peace Now.  How cool is that?

  • “The mayor faces many problems with the opposition in Baqa al-Gharbiyye,” Muasi said. “Despite being secular himself, he needs the support of this Salafist group to bolster his coalition. And this is done at my expense. He simply sacrificed me as a teacher to serve his own political interests.”
  • Despite having negligible political weight, radical Islamic groups like the Hedaya movement in Baqa al-Gharbiyye are central to the current political struggles within Arab society. Local leaders keep them politically on their side, apparently because they don’t know when and if they might need their support.
  • “In the past three years we have seen at least 20 cases whereby artists or institutions came under attack by groups alleging to be Islam’s bona fide representatives,” Muasi said. “These are groups from Salafist Islam, far removed from the mainstream. Their people are trying to impose their worldview on an entire society and even on other Islamic movements that are more moderate than they are.”

    Note here that the teacher is being punished at the behest of a tiny group advocating views not shared by most in their community. But the mayor may rely on their political support at some point, so the teacher and his students suffer. The film is excellent, by the way: Omar was part of the Middle East Film Series at Dickinson in fall 2015.
