Trump’s “Muslim Ban” A Gift to Terrorists

…izens of seven predominantly Muslim countries: Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.” The response to the proposal has been swift; spontaneous protests in support of immigrants and Muslims took place in airports across the nation, advocacy groups (successfully, so far) challenged portions of the order, while public figures like Madeleine Albright vowed to register as a Muslim. The immigration ban on refugees from Muslim-majority coun…

A New Frontier for Democrats and Religion?

…, as a young kid.”  He even hinted that the public should expect a meeting between President Obama and Pope Francis soon. The Pope Francis moment, even with its hype—perhaps because of its hype—seems to present both Kerry and President Obama with an opportunity to talk about religion on their own terms: as a potential contributor to peacemaking and justice, rather than a battleground for the culture wars. At home, Obama is still the subject of vit…

Electability of Biden is More ‘Conventional’—and Less ‘Wisdom’

…ed military action in countries as far afield as the former Yugoslavia and Sudan, and was part of the administration that fought the disastrous war in Libya. A social conservative for much of his career, Biden’s record on gay and abortion rights will further alienate the Democratic base, with his sudden, late-stage “evolutions” on these issues already being viewed as opportunistic.

Is ‘Western Self-Hatred’ the Problem in the Gaza War Protest Movement? 

…the near complete destruction of Gaza as “anti-Western” isn’t a whole lot better than dismissing it as just another manifestation of “eternal antisemitism.” And neither provides ample nuance to understand the Left’s anger at what’s transpiring in Gaza. It’s not unreasonable to see that Gaza today has become the embodiment of people living under a crushing war in an utterly dysfunctional situation with nowhere to go. Whether this is a legitimate r…

Does the Right Even Know Why it’s so Threatened by Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce?

…here people are being ethnically cleansed in places like Palestine, Congo, Sudan, and Rohingya would be even better. We’ve been here before. Silence is complicity—and no matter how the Right or the pop-culture world spin the Swift/Kelce story, it’s all about generating outrage to fill pockets while we ignore and suppress an instinctive human connection we all have deep within us.

Trump’s Muslim Ban and the History of Stolen Citizenship in America

…er fraud or Muslim terrorists) to justify certain actions. These are often promoted under the premise of upholding American values, when in reality they maliciously target the concept of equal citizenship in a democracy. What Trump has done is bring out into the open what had previously been done behind the scenes, or with little fanfare. He is now boasting of disenfranchising those from Muslim-majority countries under the call of being a “law and…
