By Haroon Moghul

…itual identity, but fundamentally he feels it is too late. Islam confronts Europe and Europe is likely to lose: Because Islam is in no mood for compromise (somehow, Islam is an actor with a foreign policy) and because Muslims cannot by their nature compromise. Caldwell is right to point out that much of the European Union, as a project, is undemocratic, including the strange attraction among many European elites for admitting Turkey even though mo…

By Carolyn Gallaher and Priya Dixit

…ed closely on the heels of two efforts pushed by the VCDL shortly after the 2019 election. In a two-and-a-half-month period just after the 2019 election, for example, a wave of local governments—including 91 of Virginia’s 133 counties and 16 of its cities[58]—passed Second Amendment Sanctuary resolutions.

By Jocelyne Cesari

…omic, and migratory conditions that form the experience of many Muslims in Europe. An understanding of Muslims in Europe today cannot be achieved through facile analyses of a monolithic Islam; but instead in the unpacking of several important assertions that tend to conflate Islam, immigration, and socio-economic issues. As mentioned above, most Muslims in Europe are immigrants, but the opposite is not true. Although immigrants arrive in Europe fr…

Titanic: “Eurabian” Alarmism 2.0

By Haroon Moghul

…efit from this or want it to come to pass. For one thing, immigrant-origin European Muslims came to Europe, often against great odds, for economic opportunities. The loss of those opportunities is not a good thing. (Stowaways drown too.) More to my point, there are many European Muslims whose ancestry in Europe goes back very far, and it’s safe to assume that they care about Europe as they would their home—because it is their home. The last two ti…

By Patrick Hornbeck

…ts gave the Court a means to avoid the fundamental conflict in the case. In 2019, other disputes percolating up through the lower courts will present the clash between anti-gay religious beliefs and LGBTQ rights much more clearly. Two cases are about to be heard by state supreme courts: one concerning wedding flowers in Washington and another about custom wedding invitations in Arizona. Is a cross always a cross? And other Establishment Clause mat…

Mile-High Identity Politics: What We Can Learn From the Same-Sex Seating Controversy

By Eboo Patel

…, not the fourth century … You’re not free to practice your religion in my airline seat.’ ‘This is male entitlement .. the height of male arrogance.’ One comment referred to this as a ‘back of the bus’ issue; as in, women being asked to move in such circumstances was tantamount to assigning them a lesser status as citizens and lower dignity as human beings. Other readers proposed that airlines set aside special seating for men requiring such accom…

The Key to Understanding the Federalist Society Isn’t Originalism — It’s This 800-Year Old Tradition

By Peter Schwartz

…notions of “human dignity” and “human flourishing,” Catholic natural law—an 800-year-old tradition dating back to Thomas Aquinas—is a lens that offers utter clarity to conservative Catholic jurists, activists, policymakers, and scholars as they observe, describe, and engage the world. The power and sharpness of this lens allow them to confidently snap every human movement—every human desire and motive and act—into its divinely appointed and proper…

Pope: Heterosexual Marriage “Makes Europe Europe”

By Louis A. Ruprecht

…nial: this sober conception of marriage is nothing less than what has made Europe distinctively European (and distinctively humanist). That is the cultural gauntlet the Supreme Pontiff throws down in the very next sentence. Europe would no longer be Europe if this basic cell of the social fabric were to disappear or to be substantially transformed. In other words, the current debate about the nature and the future of state-sponsored heterosexual m…
