We need the voices of Muslim-Americans to help us reform U.S. foreign policy in the Muslim world. If Muslim-American voices are silenced, reforming U.S. policy is going to be much harder.
Is GOP adopting a soft birtherism when it repeats that the American president doesn't understand the country that elected him?
We'll have to wait until next week to see if and how the late night shows tackle the tragic shooting in Aurora, Colorado (except for Craig Ferguson, w...
As important as it is it is to defend Huma Abedin or to rebuke Michele Bachmann, this is not enough. We must commit to changing the way we talk about Islam and the Arab World.

Instead of criticizing those who simply show respect to a candidate, Democrats must claim the moral high ground and not engage in personal attacks on Mitt Romney and his family.
Lately, I've been hearing all this talk about election fraud, "noncitizens," and the like. Well, I say forget about it. Not necessary! What we need is an election dance-off à la Dancing with the Stars, and the winner gets to be president of the United States!
What we've seen in the last few years is the gradual and systematic transformation of the far right's pundit class into the mainstream right's elected class.
As in most presidential election years, noisy battles have been raging as the nation's political armies gear up for what promises to be an even nois...
