...Thurman never gains depth past that surface glow. Only newcomer Greenberg really draws the audience into Dave’s experience, allowing them to feel Dave’s tortured frustration without being able to keep pace with an older woman. This relationship and Dave’s reaction to it, pose the pertinent modern question: do men need to serve as the providers in order to feel relationship fulfillment? Not to sound like an Amish prude, but Rafi and Dave’s sex life takes up too much screen time. While Thurman and Greenberg do have fabulous...

Critics in print and on e-mail lists have claimed that The Salient represents a broad trend to demonize Islam in American society. I beg to differ. As the reaction to our parody amply demonstrates, any assertion that women in the Islamic world do enjoy fewer rights than their Western counterparts is met with instantaneous, shrill outrage. There is no debate, no consideration of reality.Instead of taking out their ill-reasoned rage on The Salient, campus Muslims would be wise to focus...
