No Fireworks, Only Candles: Our Work as Americans and Muslims

By Ayesha Mattu

…tunned and relieved at Osama bin Laden’s death, watching Twitter swell and listening to President Obama’s address through the laptop. The relief dissipates. I have no desire to set off fireworks, jump into a car and yell out the window while waving fists and flags. If I were in New York City, I would light a candle at the memorial and keep vigil. In San Francisco, I pray in a room lit only by a streetlamp, filled with sadness for those who have di…

The Week in Religion: Haggard Would Identify
as Bisexual, Trademarking
the Virgin, Woman Kills
‘Devil Dog’

By Michael J. Altman

…wife. What happens when a pastor who studies prophecy meets a graphic novelists? Armageddon Now: World War 3 Cities around the country are beginning to charge churches usage fees for roads and drainage. Churches claim these fees violate the separation of church and state. In Virginia, the Giles County School Board decided to rehang four-foot-tall copies of the Ten Commandments after they had been removed in December, out of fear of a lawsuit. A n…

Goldstone 2.0: God Plays No Favorites

By Jill Jacobs

…g figure in the Jewish community than Richard Goldstone? When the esteemed South African judge issued his 2009 report alleging that Israel had committed human rights abuses during the 2008-2009 Gaza War (known as Operation Cast Lead), many in the Jewish community condemned him as a traitor. A synagogue sought to ban him from attending his own grandson’s Bar Mitzvah. On the other side, some skipped over the report’s criticisms of Hamas and the call…

Palin’s Israel Trip

By Sarah Posner

…not at all convinced that they would make a difference for Pain in Iowa or South Carolina, although they more obviously could in Florida. Frum, a Republican Jewish Coalition board member, complains in his column that Palin snubbed the group’s offers to sponsor her Israel trip, as it has done for other presidential hopefuls, instead booking it through a Christian tour agency. He thinks, perhaps, that Palin is miffed that he and other RJC board memb…

Of Gods and Men Resurrects Martyrdom

By Nathan Schneider

…map, a staple of humanitarians that shows the true vastness of the global south. The burden on these men feels just as vast. Mercifully, though, their way of life doesn’t allow for a whole lot of time for agonizing. As Trappist monks—the Order of Cistercians of the Strict Observance, officially—they gather in the church several times a day to chant prayers, from before dawn until after dusk. In between, they’re busy with “spiritual reading” and o…

Gingrich and Hagee, End-Times Buddies

By Sarah Posner

…g happen in the Middle East prophetically? You are seeing the King of the South come together with lightning speed. Egypt has an army of one million men armed with 1500 Abram Tanks which are America’s best. We sold them to Egypt along with hundreds of our latest and greatest fighter jets because Egypt was controlled by Mubarak who was America’s friend. Can you imagine what Israel faces with Iran, Egypt, Syria, Turkey and Russia coming after the…

Scott Walker Loves Jesus. That’s Nice

By Peter Laarman

…n a decade Kohler was shipping the work to new non-union facilities in the South. Just last year the current magnate—yet another Herbert Kohler—pushed through a greatly weakened contract for the small number of Local 833 members still employed in Wisconsin. I say all this to make the point that American business and its “business-friendly” sock puppets like Gov. Scott Walker will stop at nothing—nothing—to roll back worker rights and worker securi…

The Revival of the Pastors’ Policy Briefings

By Sarah Posner

…If the Iowa Renewal Project — if not the ones in later primary states like South Carolina and Florida — helped Huckabee win the caucuses there, having other presidential hopefuls will certainly dilute the meetings’ apparent endorsement of one candidate over another. One thing is certain though: there won’t be any dilution of the “Judeo-Christian heritage” themes by any of the candidates who want to get the Iowa advantage, even supposedly culture w…

Dreaming Beyond the Madman: Reflections on the Revolution in Libya

By Haroon Moghul

…hed a radical revolutionary state in 1969. This would be some kind of socialist and Third-Worldist bastion of freedom, or so the rhetoric went. It is perhaps not too horrific to imagine that, if America were Libya, we would still be ruled by Richard Nixon. What exactly Qaddafi wants out of his country is unclear. It is not just money, power, and vanity. In a sane world, he would be classified insane, and some kind of universal health care would pr…

TN Conservatives: Government Butt Out… Government Butt In

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…businesses also is reminiscent of those who defended Jim Crow laws in the South. Those business owners, too, thought they had a right to serve whomever they pleased and bar whomever they hated. But, if you’re a business open to the public—no matter how private your ownership—you must be open to the entire public. This is the basis of “equal treatment” and the government has a right to enforce that. So, Rev. Davis and his cohorts want the governme…
