		<description><![CDATA[The right in America is not Islamophobic. In fact, it often goes to special lengths to emphasize its impartiality towards the Muslim faith. In the March 2007 edition of the California Patriot, for example, Aditya Kashap confirms suspicions that there are good Muslims somewhere in the world: &#8220;it is quite obvious to me that most [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A look at the case of Abdelkarim Soliman, the disingenuous media attention surrounding it, and the implications this has for human rights activists in the Middle East. Abdelkarim Soliman, also known as the blogger Kareem Amer, is just one of the many hundreds of innocent people who have suffered at the hands of Western ally [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the fall of 2006, conspicuous posters printed by a marketing firm called BlueStarPR began to appear on the University of California, Berkeley campus. Others reported seeing them in places around the Bay Area. The stated goal of BlueStarPR is to &#8220;shape public opinion through knowledge and understanding&#8221; by producing &#8220;positive and educational posters, advertisements, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I almost entered this essay contest on civil rights in the Middle East last year sponsored by the Hands Across the Mideast Support Alliance. Looking over the first place essay, I&#8217;m glad I didn&#8217;t, and I&#8217;m almost certain I will not participate this year either. Responding to the question &#8220;Why should Americans like you help [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If there is such thing as a Holocaust industry allowing Israel to act with impunity in Palestine, then now it is also true that President Ahmadenijad has succeeded in creating an industry out of Holocaust denial. Dressing first a Holocaust cartoon contest and later an equally revolting Holocaust &#8216;conference&#8217; in the language of academic freedom [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I value the idea of protest, but I have always had an anxious relationship with protests. Attending one for me is always an exercise in the suspension of any sense of self-consciousness&#8211;participating does in a sense require being melded into the crowd.
