Guns and the Wyoming Legislator Proposing the Shari’ah Law Ban

…o Wyoming court rulings have been based on Islamic law, or Shariah,” the Billings Gazette reports, “But state Rep. Gerald Gay, R-Casper, said his proposed constitutional amendment, House Joint Resolution 8, is meant as a ‘pre-emptive strike’ to ensure judges don’t rely on Shariah in cases involving, for example, arranged marriages, ‘honor killings’ or usury cases.” Gay needs approval of two-thirds of the legislature and the governor’s signature to…

Meet Wyoming’s Anti-Shari’ah Crusader

…n ongoing conversation, not a set of concrete rules or laws that must be followed. Indeed a federal judge, in issuing a preliminary injunction blocking implementation of a similar ban in Oklahoma, found that the ban itself may very well be a violation of church-state separation.  Ruling on a challenge by the Oklahoma chapter of the Council on American Islamic Relations, Judge Vicki Miles-LaGrange wrote: the amendment conveys an official government…

The Other Mormon Candidate

Chris Henrichsen, Democrat, is running for Congress in Wyoming against well-funded Republican Representative Cynthia Lummis. Not only that, he’s a Mormon. While he hasn’t been featured in “I’m a Mormon” commercials yet, he has been in the Washington Post and written up by the AP in papers across the country. Henrichsen may be waging a David v. Goliath battle, but he is giving it his all. Unlike that other well-known Mormon candidate, Henrichsen i…

New Report: Angels & Aliens in Texas Schools

…of public school Bible courses that taught that Jewish festivals are actually typological predictions of Jesus, that the “African races” are descendants of Noah’s cursed son Ham, that biblical stories about angels may have referred to extraterrestrial visitors, or that Genesis’ six-day creation story is scientifically accurate if interpreted correctly? Clark is the justice who penned the Court’s majority opinion in the 1963 case of Abington Towns…

His Own Received Him Not: Jimmy Carter, First Evangelical President

…mmy Carter emerged onto the national stage. Like many evangelicals, especially those reared within the evangelical subculture, I was astonished to hear a politician speak unapologetically about being a “born again” Christian. It was a bracing moment, especially for someone who was considering a bid for elective office someday (I actually ran for a seat in the Connecticut legislature in 2004). Mark Hatfield was a hero of mine, of course, especially…

Welcome to the Shari’ah Conspiracy Theory Industry

…ion at Liberty University asked members of a panel titled “The Shari’ah Challenge to the West”: “Are we going to see a rise of Islamic Europe, and America just sits there on its own… are we actually going to win?” Another audience member asked, “what recourse does America have as a country… to deal with that problem with a completely won Islamist population? What recourse do we have at home and abroad?” That these questions were treated as legitim…

What To Do When Fred Phelps Arrives in Your Neighborhood

We all face dilemmas now and then—perhaps especially when once distant issues arrive at our own doorsteps. This month, mine is Fred Phelps. I am not ambivalent about Fred Phelps. His views are (to use his favorite language) an abomination, and his actions abhorrent. This time, though, his circus may be coming to my own region. A local soldier, from Cohocton, New York, Army Sergeant Devin Snyder, was killed in Afghanistan on June 4, 2011. Her body…

Rick Perry’s Kingmaker, and David Brooks Wakes Up

…ception, coming back to debt ceiling showdowns and other evidence of the collapse of reason. Last night, before bed, I read the New York Times on my iPad, and I must have caught David Brooks’ column just as it went up. And I thought, ah, he has evolved, he realizes the GOP has gone off the rails. And I anticipated that he would (in Beltway journalist parlance) “win the morning” by saying what everyone else is thinking but is too afraid to say lest…

The Bible is a Good Book, But God Didn’t Write It

…ouple of years ago when he issued a “Manifesto” in which he declared: “I will no longer debate the issue of homosexuality in the church with anyone.” Southern Baptist Theological Seminary president Albert Mohler responded that this was fine with him as “Bishop Spong rejects any claim that the Bible is the Word of God.” Mohler will find verification of his view in Spong’s new book Reclaiming the Bible for a Non-Religious World. Right there, on page…

Call Centers and… Congregational Email Lists

…ribes the way the Romney campaign is putting his Utah supporters to work calling into battleground states. It is, after all, standard operating procedure for political parties to put supporters in non-contested states to work for the larger campaign. But it looks like at least a few of Romney’s Utah supporters are using LDS congregational email lists to drum up donations—despite explicit instructions not to do so from LDS Church Headquarters. We k…
