By Lauri Lebo

…science views by name, changed the wording to read: Creationists do a poor service to the memory of Holocaust victims by using their deaths in a politically motivated attack against science.

When editors don’t know about disability perspectives and don’t engage them, the articles they run won’t do so either. “If you don’t think—or care—that disabled people are part of your community, then perhaps it’s not surprising that you won’t feel the ne…

…tour before a crowd of people who perhaps needed to hear it the least. June 11 marked the end of the celebration of the “Year of the Priest” and the Pope marked it by celebrating mass along with 15,000 priests visiting Rome for the occasion.

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…public opinion as dramatically as support for gay and lesbian rights. Since 1994 the numbers really pop off the charts over a 20-year period. These trends occur across all religious communities. So the white evangelical fundamentalists today are far more accommodating to gays and lesbians than they were twenty years ago. So are Catholics and mainline Protestants.” Despite that growing accommodation, some more conservative religious leaders—especia…

Challenging 2-D Depictions of Islam on CNN

By Hussein Rashid

…picture of Nidal Hassan as a terrorist, absent any facts, denigrating the service of the Muslim-American service members who serve with honor. Lemon then says that most acts are carried about by Muslims, ignoring the points raised by Arsalan and Soumaya. I wish I mentioned that a Muslim was involved in reporting the Times Square bomb car, or that Soumaya mentioned that it was a Muslim who turned in the Hutaree, but I am glad Arsalan got in the ra…
