Phelps’ Vile Words Test First Amendment

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. The church operates a number of Web sites, including www.godhatesfags.com, on which it disseminates its rabidly anti-homosexual views. The church has gained notoriety for staging protests at the funerals of US soldiers in order to draw attention to it…

Obama to Cave on Bush Tax Cuts: Letter to the Washingtonians, Chapter 1

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…

For God or for Fame? The Making of a Teenage Bomber

By Kambiz GhaneaBassiri

…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? (I’m sure the fact that politicians who fall into the latter category tend disproportionately to be Republicans rather than Democrats has nothing, nothing at all, to do with the distinction….

Obsession with Attackers’ Backgrounds Misses the Point of Terrorism

By Ali Olomi

…the country is asking all the wrong questions. Though the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (Daesh) has claimed responsibility for the Minnesota mall stabbings, the bombs found in New York and New Jersey remain ongoing investigations with no entity claiming responsibility. Whether the bombs were part of jihadist terrorism or some other form of terror, remains unknown at this time; the real questions are bogged down in a rush to judgement by public c…

Racing Toward Armageddon: The Three Great Religions and the Plot to End the World: An Excerpt

By Michael J. Baigent

…de that the fundamentalist religions of all denominations are opposing the free will and vibrancy of human life—they are, paradoxically, performing the very task they attribute to the feared Antichrist: they are attempting to convert a distorted view of reality into such a skillfully packaged shape that it might be taken as truth. Fundamentalist religions are humanity’s greatest enemy. Blunt speaking, certainly, but time is short, and I see no rea…

The Religious Lives of Soldiers

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? Piss them off? I grew up in Minnesota. Pissing people off terrifies me. I’m only slightly more comfortable with the concept…

This World Refugee Day, Rising White Nationalism Meets the Largest Refugee Population in History — Which is No Coincidence

By Sara Kamali

…raine, was an unexpected site of war, because it was “civilized,’’ unlike “Iraq or Afghanistan, that has seen conflict raging for decades.” Though D’Agata provided a formulaic apology soon thereafter, if not for the failure to recognize that the lack of “civility” in Iraq and Afghanistan could be attributed to US-led war, then because his choice of words revealed the mindset of many, from celebrities to individuals, who’ve converged to provide an…

Vainglory Days: A Foremost Expert on Religious Violence Offers Clues to How QAnon Might End

By Mark Juergensmeyer

…sily. By “being based on fiction” I mean not only the “big lie” that QAnon promotes, that the 2020 election was stolen and that Donald Trump is still the president. Associated with this big lie is a quite remarkable alternative reality that proposes that there’s a hidden cabal of manipulators in the government, the media, and in the motion picture industry. These Satan-worshippers are part of the “deep state” that runs the country for its own evil…
