We lost an absolute giant in the scholarly community. Dr. Esposito did much to counter the errant public perspectives on Muslims and Islam in the aftermath of 9/11--and he uplifted a generation of scholars trying to do the same. May his memory be a blessing. www.linkedin.com/pulse/memori...

You may be tempted to call this chutzpah. It wasn't. It was not nerve or audacity that drove these settlers to DETAIN A SITTING US LEGISLATOR. It was impunity. They knew, with CERTAINTY, that nothing would happen to them.

A rare endearing (and super nerdy!) "well, actually"

Meme-style image with white text on a black background reading: "A Norway fan has gone viral for not taking part in their Row celebration after matches and won't do it if they win the World Cup."

Below, a quote: "It's factually wrong; they didn't row, they sailed over the Atlantic."

Two photos show fans in red-and-blue Norway jerseys seated in a stadium, one man resting his chin on his hand looking unimpressed.

I’m rooting so hard for Colombia 🇨🇴 I hope they put this team of wannabe Europeans in their place I hope they score 5 on them so that there is no opportunity for FIFA and the refs to fix it And, of course, in case there was any doubt, it’s otherwise Dima Maghrib 🇲🇦 all the way

This historically dumb intervention from FIFA is an extraordinary opportunity for the USMNT But only if Folarin Balogun sits himself out against Belgium That one act would 1) stick it to Orange w/o alienating MAGA folk, 2) bring on support from anti-MAGA folk, and 3) attract global good will
