By Austin Dacey

…ual recompense. In the video message that was played before my last United Airlines flight, you expressed your desire to greet each and every passenger; you invited us to sit back, relax, and enjoy the flight. If I could greet you now, I would want to know: were you unaware of the monstrosity that was about to follow?

Hajj Journal: The Journey Begins and Ends

By Amina Wadud

…ly swarm to three million persons! But others travel to Jeddah too on this flight, including Muslims and non-Muslims. Jeddah is a port city; and as the major airport hub for Saudi Arabia, this flight has all types. Now, I’ve been on many planes, but this is the first time I’ve been on a plane where 50% of the seats are business- and first-class. Sorta gives you an idea who comes to the Kingdom, among Muslims and non-Muslims alike: big business. Ok…

By Eboo Patel

…omen have long been marginalized by men. A man asking a woman to move on a flight may reasonably be interpreted as another chapter in a seemingly never-ending story. I am sympathetic to such a view. But haven’t Orthodox Jews experienced a long history of oppression? As far as who feels marginalized in the specific context of a typical commercial flight, consider that separation of sexes is far more common in traditional religious environments. Doe…

By Michael J. Altman

…assages from the Egyptian Book of the Dead. For Zeitgeist, there’s nothing new under the sun-worshipers. The Bible is an “Astrotheological Literary Hybrid.” At the conclusion of Part I of Zeitgeist, Christianity is rendered as a political myth born in the minds of ancients staring at the sky, raised up by the Romans to control their empire, and put to work as a functional myth by modern ruling elites in need of a force to control the masses. Using…

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

By Peter Schwartz

…Oxford University under the renowned and controversial philosopher of the “new natural law,” John Finnis. Two years later based on his dissertation he published a book about assisted suicide from the premises of natural law theory. When he repeatedly invoked the term “ordered liberty” in the majority opinion he wrote for Dobbs, Samuel Alito used natural law ideas and language that echoed many of the amicus briefs submitted to the Court by a broad…

Our Failure To Understand Ferguson: A Cognitive Explanation

By Andrew Aghapour

…our flight to JFK, the first leg in a thirty-hour series of international flights, without notification. At the airport we learned that our savvier co-passengers had already filled the Delta flight that was our only alternative. I assumed that the system would somehow take care of us—we had paid good money and followed every rule—until our travel agent called with frantic instructions: “You must make this connection. Bribe two Delta passengers! P…

6 Reservations About U.S. Intervention in Libya

By Haroon Moghul

…my apartment need repair. Can we get NATO to send some army engineers in? New York City also desperately needs new airports, which I’m sure we could build up at least partway, and then address the American people as to why we were forced to build it without clearing it first; after all, New York is vital to the American and global economy. If we’re going to transgress certain democratic principles, at the very least we should do so in our own cl…

…elligence (CSETI) and in 1991 Greer’s team reported their first successful contact with a UFO, which appeared in the sky and blinked its lights at them. CE5 has continued to grow over since. In April 2020, Greer was featured prominently in the documentary Close Encounters of the Fifth Kind: Contact has Begun, directed by DC’s friend Michael Mazzola. As DC recalls, the film was perfectly timed to coincide with Covid lockdown: It was the middle of C…

Time is on Our Side

By Amina Wadud

…eem to notice with the same details that a fasting Muslim must notice, the sun set and sunrise moves every day; especially for those of us in the northern hemisphere. The daily observance of the fast begins with a pre-dawn meal, called Suhur. The time for the end of suhur corresponds precisely with the time for the beginning of the five daily prayers, salat-al-fajr. Fajr (for short) starts approximately one and one half hour before sun rise. So su…

AFA: Native Americans Lost their Land for Not Being Christians

By Daniel Schultz

…ht of conquest.” Fischer went on to blame poverty and alcoholism on Indian reservations on Native Americans themselves, because they “continue to cling to the darkness of indigenous superstition” and refuse to come into “the light of Christianity” and assimilate “into Christian culture.” How Christianity would have helped Native Americans adapt to confinement on reservations is anybody’s guess. Fischer was apparently propelled into his diatribe by…
