The Contradictions of the Khilafat Movement - (USA)
I first came across the writings of Mr. Hamza Alavi in College. This piece in particular shaped my ideas about South Asian history more decisively than others. It was therefore a pleasant surprise to see this up on Red Diary. Enjoy. YLHby Hamza AlaviThe ‘Khilafat’ Movement of 1919-24, is probably quite unique inasmuch as it has been glorified with one voice by Islamic ideologists, Indian nationalists and communists alike and along with them by Western scholars, as an anti-colonial movement of

Generation Greed (Generational Theft) - (USA)
"Generation Greed” is a name frequently used by New York City blogger Larry Littlefield in his posts on Room Eight (a New York City political blog) and other websites. Several generations have been nicknamed, such as the “Lost Generation” (immediately after World War I), the “Greatest Generation” (Americans who grew up in the Great Depression of the 1930s and fought in World War II), and the “Me Generation” (author Tom Wolfe wrote about the “Me Decade” in 1976). “Generation Greed” is a p

Technical Notes on Guy Debord’s First Three Films - (USA)
Howls for Sade, a feature-length film created in June 1952, contains no images whatsoever. The soundtrack is accompanied by a completely blank white screen during the spoken dialogues. These dialogues, which altogether total no more than twenty minutes, are broken up into short fragments amid passages of total silence totaling one hour (the final portion of the film consisting of an uninterrupted 24-minute period of silence). During the silences the screen, and thus the theater, remains totally

Literal Interpretation Revisited (Part 2) - (USA)
In the end, quoting 50-year-old works by your theological opponents is not, in and of itself, the problem. If that alone is unfair—as Waldron seems to think in the case of MacArthur’s 2007 Shepherds’ Conference address—then he has clearly fallen short of his own standard ( see part 1 ). The real problem comes when you select quotations which misrepresent your opponents’ position, like Waldron does in citing the old Scofield Reference Bible in favor of a separate way of salvation for OT Israel. T

Bastiat quote or non-quote 2 - (USA)
Following up on my first post and having gotten my hands on a copy of the Alfred E. Eckes's book, "A Search for Solvency: Bretton Woods and the International Monetary System, 1941-1971", I can confirm that the said quote is on page 37. Eckes writes, Like nineteenth-century liberals, Otto Mallery believed that free trade was the panacea for economic nationalism and great power rivalries. "If soldiers are not to cross international boundaries," he said, "goods must do so." The reference that Eck

Rape New York: Jana Leo - (USA)
Interview by Richard Marshall. 3:AM: How did the actual writing of the book happen? Were there people encouraging you to do this or was this something that really was just you. And was it something that you started to do without thinking of publishing it or was that always what you were aiming at? Can you say whether there were key moments when the motivation clarified for you? JL: By early 2007, the assailant was in jail, and the civil suit with my landlord was settled. I thought about

Do You Like Cheese? - (USA)
Cheese is great. So if you are a fan of cheese you might be asking yourself the question, is cheese made by non-Muslims allowed or not? Well if it is cheese made from vegetarian rennet then there is no concern but the issue is with cheese made from natural rennet. Rennet is extracted from the stomachs of calves and contains enzymes that are used in the cheese making process. Bellow are quotes from scholars of the four schools: Al Mabsoot, a Hannafi reference, states: “Cheese is halal even if

Gently Read Lit - (USA)
Hecate Lochia, Hoa Nguyen, Hot Whiskey PressIt is perhaps most relevant to begin reviewing Hoa Nguyen’s ferocious poetry collection, Hecate Lochia, with a brief consideration of the title. With a nod toward the Greek goddess associated with nurturing and childbirth (Hecate) and with a reference to post-partum vaginal discharge (lochia), Hecate Lochia is an extended metaphor about the perils of motherhood in the age of late capitalism and neoliberal philosophy. The word “lochia” is derived from

Full Metal Jacket Saturday - (USA)
by Smitty Sending this week's Full Metal Jacket Reach Around installment from Las Vegas. Not so much fear and loathing here, though there is some shock and awe from seeing the Blue Man Group. Why the Troglopundit called Stacy a big doodyhead isn't exactly clear. The Trgolopundit makes an understandable mistake , so let me clarify: it was always 'My Sharona' , not my sharia. Apparently this post is composed not too far from Right of Course, who linked the Carrie Prejean topless phot
