If you care about the future of America’s role in the #MiddleEast, we need to give today’s students alternatives to the failed programs of our “elite” universities. Thank you to @tikvahfund & @mosaicmag for giving me a platform to explain how @WashInstitute and @PepperdineSPP are…

ICYMI, here's advice from my @WashInstitute colleague @dstroul and yours truly on what should be on @POTUS' agenda for this evening's get-together with #Israel prime minister @netanyahu. washingtoninstitute.org/policy-analysi…
Thank you for reminding believers that Ashura is the commemoration of the liberation of Israelites from slavery in #Egypt, beginning their journey to the land of #Israel.
The day of Ashura has come to us — a day belonging to Allah the Almighty, a great day on which Allah saved Moses (PBUH) and his people from Pharaoh. Both Prophet Moses (PBUH) and our noble Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) fasted on the day of Ashura in gratitude to Allah Almighty, and…

When is the prospect of a #Gaza 60-day ceasefire actually disappointing news? When the Administration didn’t use this unique moment of post-#Iran success to finally end the war on the right terms, incl. release of all hostages, exile of #Hamas leaders, phased @IDF withdrawal to…
