By Hussein Rashid

…ade that their reporters in America are not as free as American clients in Iraq, where the Prime Minister expressed his admiration, or Jordan, where the King expressed his.

By Lauri Lebo

…a fundamentalist Christian church that contends that God kills soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan as punishment for America’s tolerance of homosexuality and for the presence of gays in the US military.

By Brian Kaylor

…nt, then dissent becomes blasphemous. To question America’s involvement in Iraq becomes an act of heretical defiance.

By Jonathan Ebel

…thcoming books on the World Wars, Korea, Vietnam, the Cold War writ large, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Iraq and, to my knowledge, there aren’t. It has been almost seventy years and still there isn’t a good religious history of American involvement in the Second World War. Are you hoping to just inform readers? Give them pleasure?

By Daniel Schultz

…ur civilization. Days after the first troops poured across the border into Iraq, my son was born, though I did not know him at the time. His mother, poor, ill, and struggling with drugs and booze, lost him and his sister to the county some time later. I doubt very much that as she sank into the arms of addiction that she took notice of one election after another, of one economic setback after another, of torture and Katrina and corruption and the…

…He is political and concerned about the plight of Muslims in Afghanistan, Iraq, and the Palestinian territories. He may wish to lend moral and financial support to Muslims in these regions but is not “operational.” The third type is the militant Muslim willing to fight and die for “Muslim causes.” Missing entirely from this discourse is the option to organize and become active in nonviolent civic or political organizations that support his causes…

Papal Consultant: Cuomo Should Be Denied Communion

By Randall Balmer

…example, and John Paul II adamantly opposed the United States’ invasion of Iraq. By the same logic that applied to John Kerry’s “wafer watch,” shouldn’t Roman Catholic politicians who support capital punishment or the war in Iraq also be denied Holy Communion?

…port a long list of grievances that include the US military occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan, the killing of civilians in drone and other US military strikes, Western support for Arab and Muslim autocratic regimes, torture, Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo, and the “dishonoring” of Muslims around the world.
