…The AMC had a series of op-eds and a big ad buy. 2. The way the op-eds and website were argued implied that the AMC were good Muslims and the rest of the community was bad because of certain markers defined by these pieces. 3. The logical conclusion of such a construction is that there is a power-play involved. You will note that I never, in my piece, make categorical accusations. I cannot speak to the intentionality of the pieces, but only the ap…

Sarah Palin Calls Biblical Patriarchs “Neanderthals”

By Julie Ingersoll

…be the head of her home or to be the elder of a local church (simply because she is a woman), is qualified and free, they believe, to seek the vice presidency of the United States of America.” In another Reconstructionist response to Palin’s comments, John Lofton posted comments on his website The American View, and went on to decry that “even The ‘Conservative’ Women—Most Of Whom Claim To Be ‘Christians’—Are Feminists! Not A Good Sign…” with a li…

Meet the Christian Reconstructionists Behind the Latest Birther Theory

By Sarah Posner

…and The Obama Nation (published in 2008). Farah is the editor of WND, the website that has played a key role in promoting birtherism. Lofton said he expected Titus’ theory to figure in Corsi’s forthcoming book, which is already being promoted on WND. (Lofton was critical of WND for focusing too much on the birth certificate rather than on this, in his view, more critical question.) Both Lofton and Titus are admirers of R.J. Rushdoony, the intelle…

Will Christian Publishers Stand Behind Mars Hill’s Sketchy Legacy?

By Becky Garrison

…view with him on November 21, 2013, the documentation disappeared from her website though she remained unapologetic about the substance of her allegations. Initially, MHC accused a “research assistant” with the Docent Group of sending unsourced research notes to Driscoll that made their way into the Trial book.

Why it (Still) Makes Little Sense to Call ISIS Islamic

By Haroon Moghul

…sés on the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS), including Graeme Wood’s website-busting What ISIS Really Wants, Callimachi’s reporting is unusually receptive to the movement’s claims. Namely, that plausible Islamic arguments can be made for slavery, rape, and other crimes. In support of his own argument that ISIS isn’t just “Islamic,” but “very Islamic,” Wood cited Princeton academic Bernard Haykel who insists that anyone who denies ISIS’ Islam…

Herman Cain: The Tea Party-Religious Right Candidate?

By Sarah Posner

…in February, Cain co-founded tvTownhall with religious right activist Allen Hardage, who told me “you cannot restore this country to the founding fathers’ vision and exclude the fact that they understood our rights and ability to grow as a nation from our reverence to God.” At the tvTownhall website, the “about” link brings you to an extended biography (and beaming photograph) of Cain. There’s not a whole lot of action at the site apart from post…

Netflix’s Carlton Pearson Biopic, “Come Sunday,” Reveals Christianity’s Struggle for its Soul

By Peter Laarman

…out long before Carlton Pearson took his stand in Tulsa. According to his website, the real Carlton Pearson of today is migrating well beyond universalism to something he calls “Metacostalism”: a New Age-sounding brew of self-actualization and religious science. Personally, I wish that the impressively gifted Pearson could have stuck it out and fought the good fight within a Christianity that desperately needs to “go and learn what this means: ‘I…

By Mark Bergen

…proudly as “The Tea Party Republican.” It’s blazoned all over his campaign website. And his positions follow the now familiar anti-establishment tropes of the Tea Party. His platform centers on his promise to be a one-man state border patrol—keeping government out, and God in. For Howie, the ability for pastors to voice political opinions is a basic Constitutional right. He recorded a video urging good Christians to join him in his “battle for our…
