Project 2025: How Trump Loyalists and Right-Wing Leaders Are Paving a Fast Road to Fascism

…ll present a series of articles from the magazine’s Fall 2023/Winter 2024 issue. Former President Donald Trump, nursing personal grievances against “deep state” officials and White House staff who thwarted his plans to stay in power after his 2020 defeat, has made it clear that his second term would be far more dangerous to American democracy than his first.

Studying Religion is Suddenly Popular

…context, programs in Religious Studies, or the Academic Study of Religion (ASR), may be vulnerable. Last month Newsweek online launched a special section devoted to education—and, in somewhat of a shocker, offered the good news that Religious Studies is experiencing a burst of popularity on college campuses.  The article, “Religious Studies Revival,” holds interest for anyone who has a stake in keeping the academic study of religion strong.

Sacrifice

…the three I mentioned before: ihram, sa’iy and tawwaf, (sacred posture/dress, walk-run between Safa and Marwa, and circumambulate around the Ka’aba). After performing these for umrah, with the umrah/ hajj tamattu’, I can clip a bit of my hair, (or the men can shave) and then end my ihram, returning to “regular clothes”. As I said, I do plan to take this break (even if I make a second umrah). I mean I am hoping to stay in the spirit of place witho…

Pat Robertson’s Women Warriors Leading Spiritual Warfare In Zimbabwe

…, 49-year-old real estate broker and grandmother, wipes the feet dry and kisses them. At the heart of this women’s conference is the concept of “spiritual warfare,” the idea that God has anointed his “generals” to defeat Satan and bring the world to Christ. During this pre-conference prayer session, the group prays for a “mega-breakthrough” and for God to “take down the enemy.” It’s not a war of flesh and blood, conference speakers are quick to po…

Forgiveness

…ever be as funny as he, so you’ll have to take my word for it. Still the lesson was learned, we are not meant to sleep away the pangs of the difficult fast. In fact, that is part of this arduous act of devotion and to sleep it away is a contradiction. He made me reflect on the topic I had already chosen for today: forgiveness. The synchronicity between my own spiritual states and what comes out of the mouth of the imam never ceases to amaze me and…

Truth or Dare?

…ow why it came to mind this morning at prayer, but I was recitingsurat-al-‘Asr, which says, By the token of time Verily humankind is at a loss Except for those who believe Who do righteous deeds (and) Encourage one another to the Truth And encourage one another to patience. As I recited it, I thought: if I had to choose between the two, I’d choose truth, because, well truthfully, I am not very patient. That’s how I feel on this two-week marker bef…

Hajj Journal:
This Cultural Hajj

…mmad never did it. To which I actually try to argue, well he never wore glasses either, or actually facilitated the collection of the Qur’an in writing.

I needed a collective of funky progressive Sufi, activists, scholars to feel my culture and my community. So I decided on the next best thing from t…
