By Bill Berkowitz

…boys and paired them with adult homosexual soldiers. Brownshirt leaders in Germany recruited boys from the local high schools for sex. Roehm himself once briefly fled Germany for South America over a scandal involving a young male prostitute. This bodes ill for the young men who will be our future draftees. The scenario I see unfolding if we allow homosexuals to serve openly in the military is an initial period of turmoil in which members of the s…

By Mark Juergensmeyer

…rder. According to Bray, Americans live in a situation “comparable to Nazi Germany,” a state of hidden warfare, as the comforts of modern society have lulled the populace into apathy. Bray was convinced that a dramatic event, such as economic collapse or social chaos would reveal the demonic role of the government, and people would have “the strength and the zeal to take up arms” in a revolutionary struggle. What he envisioned as the outcome of th…

Does ISIS Vindicate Pope Benedict’s Islam Remarks, as George Weigel Believes?

By Scott C. Alexander

…n faith and reason delivered at the University of Regensburg in his native Germany, the pontiff used a quote from a medieval Byzantine Emperor which denigrated the Prophet Muhammad. Benedict then compounded the problem with his implication that Islam has always suffered from a special challenge when it comes to the incoherence of proclaiming a rational faith and irrationally propagating violence in the interest of said faith. Recently, the widely…

By Maryam Jamshidi

…’s The Human Condition. Arendt was a political theorist who came of age in Germany during the 1920s. Trained as a philosopher (she was a student of Martin Heidegger and also his lover), Arendt, who was Jewish, was forced to leave Germany in the early 1930s, as Hitler rose to power. World War II was an important influence on Hannah Arendt, and is reflected in her writings, which focus on topics like totalitarianism and violence. In The Human Condit…

Christianity Without the Cross

…ent to the art. The search took them to Rome, Ravenna, and Turkey; then to Germany. “It took Jesus a long time to die,” Brock says. Not until 965 in northern Germany was the life-sized oak crucifix called the Gero Cross carved. On it, the Christian God was suffering and dying: an image of terror, torture, and desolation. The carving is now in the Cathedral of St. Peter and Maria in Cologne. Could there be a connection that one hundred years later,…

According to local news accounts during coverage of Dove’s 2009 anti-Muslim activities, former congregants, including Jones’ own daughter, claimed Jones and his wife left Germany after being confronted about improprieties in the church structure, including diverting church resources for profit, demanding that church members work for the church without pay, and thre…

Some Thoughts on Richard Dawkins’ Terrible Tweet

By Haroon Moghul

…hat happened to Chechnya, it’s not surprising there’s little move to break free. There are, of course, sadly plenty of conflicts in which Muslims are involved, as aggressors, and worse still, plenty of Muslims who justify their sadism, barbarism and immorality in the name of Islam. The best response to Richard Dawkins is not a history lesson, nor an appeal to specific verses, but a calm perusal of the newspaper. How can the Arab world, for example…

The Incredible Shrinking Catholic Church

By Paul Gorrell

…ogy of Opus Dei. It is no surprise that Pope Benedict comes from a country—Germany—where the percentage of Church members attending Sunday mass is one of the lowest in the world. Strict adherence to orthodoxy will not be popular. In an odd parallel, Benedict’s view of the Church resembles the ecclesiology of the Protestant theologian Stanley Hauerwas, who argued that the Christian church should focus on creating a community of character that stric…
