Niqab and Short Shorts

By Hussein Rashid

…run amok. These ladies, who call themselves Niqabitches, have done a great service in showing the inherent contradictions of the law, rather than just stating them. Perhaps one of my favorite parts of the video is when the female police officer, who will be required to ticket them in the near future, asks to take a picture of them.

By Sarah Posner

…mass is not a political rally. It is actually a religious, very important service, where people come together to receive the body and blood of Christ.

Carlton Veazey, president of the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice (RCRC) and a Baptist minister. “It’s a perception that the bishops c…

By The Editors

…er the election, I reached out to a local imam and was invited to a prayer service. I wanted to show them physically that people of faith, especially those who claim to be Christian, weren’t against them and would stand with them in this climate. When I was invited to come to the mic, I made a confession. I confessed that, in the past, I had been part of the problem of Islamophobia. I had negative attitudes toward them. But then I realized that I’…
