All-American Muslim is Just TV, Folks

By Zeba Iqbal

…it lacked and how it could have (read: should have) been better—more profound, representative, and educational. Somehow profound, representative, and educational are not adjectives I associate with reality TV. For others that do, I can understand their disappointment. After I saw the crit-fest online by my people, I felt both stupid and guilty for watching and enjoying this ‘dumb, sub-standard’ show merely for its entertainment value. I chided my…

By Nathan Schneider

…Occupy Catholics are among the so-called “lapsed”: people who haven’t felt comfortable being part of a Catholic anything for years until this came along. The idea is to find ways for Catholics to support the Occupy movement, as well as to think together about challenges the movement poses to our church. “We are the church, and we love our church, and right now the church needs to speak,” we declared through the people’s mic at St. Patrick’s. “Love…

By Shaul Magid

…s contemporary Jews face. These are topics for continued conversation. For now, I hope The Crisis in Zionism is read, discussed, and debated widely on its depiction of the conflict and on the substance of its solutions. Peter Beinart should be commended for a valiant and courageous project, continuing to do what he and many of us have been doing for the past twenty years. While I find his conclusions in need of revision and further thought,…

Why are Romney SuperPac Donors Shy?

By Joanna Brooks

…who used a false company name to obscure his identity. The donor? Steven Lund, one of the founders of Provo, Utah-based NuSkin, a multilevel marketing cosmetics company. NPR remarked on the “Go down the list of people who have given a million dollars to a superPAC, and you realize many of them are not shy about their wealth.” But not so for this particular Romney donor. Why? Wealth means status in the world of Mormonism, as it does just about eve…

By Joanna Piacenza

…itually-curious online followers? But his atheistic-toned words should not come as a surprise. Back in June, he tweeted that he is “increasingly convinced that the time has come to find a way of thinking about spirituality and ethics beyond religion altogether.” Slowly, HHDL’s social media team has been tweaking the guru’s image to better align with our more secular views. Westerners are drawn to Buddhism precisely because of its liberating qualit…

…ject. FURTHER UPDATE, via Jeffrey Goldberg at the Atlantic, who talks to Klein: Klein told me that Bacile, the producer of the film, is not Israeli, and most likely not Jewish, as has been reported, and that the name is, in fact, a pseudonym. He said he did not know “Bacile”‘s real name. He said Bacile contacted him because he leads anti-Islam protests outside of mosques and schools, and because, he said, he is a Vietnam veteran and an expert on u…

By Sarah Posner

…osed to the other kind) in an effort to further restrict the circumstances under which federal funds could be used to pay for an abortion. Akin isn’t out of the mainstream for the GOP. He is the GOP, notwithstanding how some Republicans are calling him an idiot now. The GOP has pandered to the extremism of the anti-choice movement by including a plank in its platform calling for outlawing of abortion with no exceptions since 1984; why are they sud…

By Gillian Kane

…a strategic alliance of Orthodox Christians, Catholics, and traditional Protestants, of all those who defend the true Christian values.” The online debate as to whether the Pussy Riot trial was a triumph or a disaster for the Russian state will likely continue for some time. In the UN however, the influence of a traditional values-promoting Russia has met its limits. The week before the Pussy Riot members were convicted of blasphemy by the Russian…

Sikh Temple Shooting: Two Massacres and the Virtual Transformation of Trauma

By Shruti Devgan

…nces in the reasons for why members of the Sikh community found themselves under siege in two different contexts and times. The Wisconsin tragedy is unfolding, but it is quite clear that the perpetrator, Wade Michael Page, was motivated by xenophobia. On the other hand, the massacre in India 28 years ago was a culmination of tensions between the Indian state and the Sikh community. The most sacred of all Sikh places of worship or gurdwara had been…
