Will the Religious Side with Workers?

By Peter Laarman

…of oversimplified bullet points: An unpleasant aftertaste: As noted above, today’s labor movement is tremendously diverse, both ethnically and racially. Women and people of color run some of the biggest unions. But many religious leaders of a certain age are more likely to recall the older exclusionary craft unionism. They remember cranky George Meany and his ever-present cigar. They remember the building trades—Meany’s crowd—raining both bricks a…

Christian Epistle on Islamophobia

By Haroon Moghul

…e politics that has shaped many of us makes what we say very irrelevant to today’s issues. I think a good part of the church is in denial as to how this country has really changed. I never heard of this Dearborn Awakening event that happened until I read your piece today, but I want to offer an apology for this speaker that lied and confused people. I offer this as a Christian and student of the Word that is called by God to obey and not simply kn…

What’s Islamophobia, and Do I Have It?

By Haroon Moghul

…urately, lie and obfuscate, all to propose the end times can be mapped out today, which is cool, because you’ve already got all these ridiculous maps. So why not, I don’t know, invade a country preemptively? One cannot insist on innocuous analysis when one’s last chapter is ‘yes, Islam is evil, but Muslims are not.’ While Muslims might be too stupid to know Islam is evil—sound familiar?—we can rescue them from their ignorance—sound familiar? Thi…

The Santorum Legacy: The Fertility Wars

By Sarah Posner

…nt guarantees equal protection to fertilized eggs. At his press conference today, Santorum alluded to reproduction and procreation by praising the family as “the moral enterprise that is America,” and by specifically thanking the 19 Kids and Counting Duggars for campaigning for him. It might have sounded like a standard political homage to wholesome family life, but to anyone who knows Santorum’s views, it was an homage to uber-fertility. As Kathr…

Why #FreeBritney is an #Exvangelical Cause

By R.L. Stollar

…ours, recorded four albums, and performed 248 sold-out shows in Las Vegas. Today she’s worth more than $60 million. While everyone knows about Spears, few know—and even fewer discuss—the role religion has played in her life. Like Katy Perry, who was once a Contemporary Christian Music artist, Spears has deep roots in white American evangelicalism. Born and raised in the Bible Belt and surrounded by conservative evangelical Protestants, Spears grew…

Facing White Christianity’s Role in the January 6th Insurrection

By Robert P. Jones

…There have been significant symbolic transformations in our cultural landscape, catalyzed by the massive marches in support of the Black Lives Matter movement that erupted throughout the summer of 2020 in the wake of the killing of George Floyd by a white police officer. In my home state, the Mississippi Baptist Convention (MBC), the local arm of the Southern Baptist Convention, came out strongly in support of legislation to remove the Confederat…

Why Zubik is Especially Important for Women of Color

By Elizabeth Platt and Kira Shepherd

…large role in the overall health disparities faced by communities of color today. Women of color have the highest rates of unintended pregnancy, abortion, and maternal mortality, all of which have taken a toll on the psychological, economic, and social vitality of these communities. Moreover, as abortion clinics across the country close due to the conservative attack on abortion rights, women of color are harmed disproportionately. Clinic closings…

7 Women Scholars On the Gender Divide in Religious Studies, the Power of Mentors, and Leading While Female

By Rebecca Barrett-Fox

…ized around categories and silos that don’t reflect how people really live today or the work we have to do understand the world we live in. To change this, you have to be in conversation with the right kind of people. You have to make a commitment to talk interdisciplinarily. You can’t be with people who will retreat to the fallback position of their discipline. You have to invite people to the table who are willing to ask questions from new persp…

Russian Attack on LGBTs at UN Rejected; Gay Cake Controversy Rages in N. Ireland; Bishop Calls for Marriage Referendum in Puerto Rico; Global LGBT Recap

By Peter Montgomery

…ay well want to get your own back. But there is more at work here. The BBC Today programme on Monday brought on Patrick Strudwick, who is the LGBT editor of Buzzfeed. Mr Strudwick was made furiously righteous by the fact that Dolce himself is gay. His attitude proved, he said, “the internalised homophobia of gay people”, for which (of course) society is to blame. “Their subconscious is kind of poisoned”: gays who think that a child is best brought…

Muslim Mickey Mouse Tweet by Christian Billionaire Sparks Controversy

By Joseph Hammond

…huge double standard here. A few years ago many of these same people were promoting the Fulla doll. They wanted a Muslim version of Barbie and now they don’t want a Muslim version of Minnie and Mickey Mouse? These Salafi groups want all women to wear the veil. So why don’t they start with Minnie Mouse? Mickey Mouse Operations The Sawiris controversy has been far overshadowed in the Egyptian media by violent clashes in Tahrir Square over the past…
