The Women’s March, Anti-Semitism, and ‘The Jewish Farrakhan’

By Shaul Magid

…greement.” What is antisemitism, and who is an antisemite? The issue has become important, yet again, because the upcoming Women’s March has been derailed due precisely to this very conundrum. The controversy centers around a figure, Louis Farrakhan, who as leader of the Nation of Islam (NOI) has repeatedly and overtly espoused views of Jew-hatred that one could unequivocally call antisemitic. But he’s not really the issue, since he has nothing to…

Conservative Christians: Think Twice Before Claiming ‘Islam Is Not a Religion’

By Chad Bauman

…ics of Muslims in America suggest that Islam is intolerant and therefore incompatible with American democracy, Indian authors such as these have criticized Christianity and its cousins for their claims that they alone possess the singular path to God or salvation. “The fact is that intolerance is inbuilt into the basic Semitic [religious] approach,” wrote Ram Swarup in Hinduism vis-à-vis Christianity and Islam. Similarly, since at least 2011, the…

Religion as a Front for Tyranny: A Roundtable on the Timeliness of Hulu’s “The Handmaid’s Tale”

By Anita Little

…g Trump’s presidency. And it makes me wonder what we can expect. Will we become numb? Complacent? Kaya Oakes: There are some things the series portrays that aren’t realistic, in my opinion. Atwood herself describes it as speculative fiction, which always operates on the worst case scenario. Maybe this is my California filter, but I don’t see women being rounded up and forced into Puritan-style outfits (maybe ours will be designed by Ivanka?), or L…

Louis C.K., Paige Patterson, and the White Male Forgiveness Charade

By Dianna Anderson

…edy Cellar was met with both support and criticism—with the support mostly coming from fellow white male comedians and the criticism largely coming from women. Patterson’s return has likewise been met with questions about whether or not such a move is appropriate or reasonable—especially for teaching a course allegedly designed to shape the ethical decisions of future pastors. The parallel lines here are of two men trying to return to the only thi…

The Religious Origins of Fake News and ‘Alternative Facts’

By Christopher Douglas

…and editors of scripture, scholars began to demonstrate, sometimes with incompatible stories and contradictory theologies. The New Testament’s gospels, this scholarship showed, were not composed shortly after Jesus’ death by his eyewitness disciples like Matthew and John. Rather, they were written accounts based on oral traditions and other now-lost writings, composed decades after Jesus’s death—with all the attendant problems of memory and recor…

The ‘Pro-Family’ Movement Has Little to Say About Family Separation

By Sophie Bjork-James

…s://twitter.com/GaryLBauer/status/1011566286109839362 Yet another response comes from James Dobson, who, despite decades of political commentary, is choosing to sit this one out. Instead, it’s business as usual at Family Talk, his radio program, where Dobson has been busy hosting a three-part program on “Confronting Guilt in Motherhood” and, in another tone-deaf moment, tweeted a link to a blog post on the importance of a mother’s presence to her…

Is Cardinal Dolan’s Pro-Life Piece More Evidence of Pro-Catholic Bias from RNS Publisher?

By Evan Derkacz

…to turn its efforts toward reduction. The Cardinal, who is chairman of the Committee on Pro-Life Activities for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, offers the perspective, arguments, and framing of the Committee on Pro-Life Activities for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. Which is to say that it essentially amounts to a position statement from a well-organized and well-funded sectarian group. Dolan’s piece is clearly identified as an o…

Parkland Activists Don’t Care What You Think And They’re Not Interested in the Faith Wars

By Daniel Schultz

…ys found corrosive on both sides of the equation. Forced to choose between competing views of a faith, many people will simply walk away instead. (And to be fair, even white evangelicals—among the most conservative demographics in the nation—support stricter gun controls.) And again, the Parkland activists have made it pretty clear that they don’t see themselves as perfect, much less moral paragons, and certainly not exemplars in any religious sen…

SCOTUS’s Incoherent ‘Masterpiece Cakeshop’ Decision

By Daniel Schultz

…t its wide margin, in contravention of the English language, subtlety, and comprehension skills. Mook is as mook tweets, I suppose. The ruling itself doesn’t directly give a green light to religious discrimination, though that’s surely cold comfort to those it affects. Anthony Kennedy, writing for the majority, appears to have concluded that the state of Colorado copped an unusually hostile attitude toward the Christian beliefs of Masterpiece’s ow…

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin’s Legacy of Eugenics and Racism Can’t Be Ignored

By John P. Slattery

…e writes, “that there is no ‘Scientific Commission’…along with a ‘Biblical Commission’”? Such a commission could encourage the world to embrace three important eugenical ideas: “the optimum rather than the maximum in reproduction”; “a gradual separation of sexuality from reproduction”; and, in horrifying final words, “the absolute right…to try everything right to the end—even in the matter of human biology.” At this juncture, one must ask why no s…
