Which Islamists?: Religion and the Syrian Civil War

By Haroon Moghul

…Spring? The Syrian opposition mostly considers itself an extension of the Arab Spring. Most agree that the Arab Spring created an environment that allowed the immediate causes of this conflict to turn it into a revolution. They consider their revolution far more brutal than any other, but unlike in Libya, which also involved an all-out war, there’s a deep sense of being abandoned by the world. You were in Turkey during Israel’s war with Hamas. Ho…

By Robert P. Jones

…t 44% of White evangelical Protestant Republicans preferred Trump to be the 2024 nominee for president, compared to 23% who preferred DeSantis and 5% who preferred Haley. Against this backdrop of White evangelical support for Trump, a broad, unsupported hypothesis has re-emerged that Trump’s stalwart continued support among White evangelicals can be explained by his strength among what I’ll abbreviate as WEINO’s, or “White evangelicals in name onl…

By Carmen Celestini and Amarnath Amarasingam

…the exact nature of new or evolving conspiracy theories that may emerge in 2024, it’s likely that the pervasive conspiracy theories of 2023 will continue to influence the political landscape, particularly in the context of the 2024 election.

Church=State in Putin’s Orthodox Empire?; Evangelical-Orthodox Anti-Gay Alliance; Malaysian Court Protects Transwomen; Catholicism (Still) Declining in Latin America; Global LGBT Recap

By Peter Montgomery

…. But who is to decide what constitutes a “vice against nature”? The Portuguese legislators had been too coy to mention gay sex explicitly, and so a meaningless clause entered the statute books, which no court could act upon. This year, the Penal Code was rewritten. The new Penal Code sweeps away a great deal of the musty colonial legacy, including the mention of “vices against nature”. Now not even the most contorted of arguments could claim that…

Enough people were convinced by the slick product rollout that they actually wa…
