Saudi Women Take to the Twittersphere to Protest Driving Ban

By Joanna Brooks

…y’s stringent bans on basic human freedoms for women. Manal Al-Sharif, a 32-year-old computer security analyst for the state-run oil company and a single mother of a five-year-old son, remains in Dammam prison after being arrested on Saturday for “violating public order” after making and distributing a YouTube video of herself driving her own car. The video was filmed last Thursday by Saudi feminist activist Wajeha al-Huwaider in the city of Khoba…

Already Beatified by the Right for Surviving an Assassination Attempt, Must We All Pray for Donald Trump?

By Daniel Schultz

…rs for “God’s protection.” Likewise, it’s fine for Democrats and other left-of-center types to offer prayers for Trump. Neither Biden nor Kamala Harris nor any other leader can risk appearing to fan the flames of political violence, and it certainly matches the American context to call for prayer to turn down the temperature a bit. Certainly, no minister like me will ever snub a bit of empathy. But this approach risks overshadowing the very real,…

American Indians Irate over Bin Laden Code Name “Geronimo”

By Johnny P. Flynn

…und the world failing to hear the same message over and over again. Steven Newcomb, a Shawnee Indian, said it best in a column in Indian Country Today: What the hell were they thinking… the code name was based on an extension of the metaphor “Indians Are Enemies” to “Geronimo was a Terrorist,” thus perpetuating the US tradition of treating Indian nations and peoples as enemies. Maybe if the lessons of the Indian wars had been pondered before the m…

America’s First Mormon Televangelist

By Joanna Brooks

…ational mall (which drew about 90,000, not 300,000) was no evangelical fire-and-brimstone call to repentance, but a classic Mormon-style testimony complete with tears. Glenn Beck has remade himself as America’s first Mormon televangelist. Of course self-reinvention is key to the survival of any media figure: just ask Madonna. And his latest move from connect-the-dots-conspiracy-theorist to ecumenical revivalist seems to be working for Beck. Part o…

Sullivan v. Gallagher: Catholics Debate LGBT Rights At Georgetown

By Sarah Posner

…justifiable rant about the church sex abuse scandals. Gallagher’s chief protest as self-appointed martyr, an article of faith in the religious anti-gay movement, is that LGBT equality spells a lack of freedom for religious people, an effort to “repress and marginalize” them. Yet her own most unseemly moment — and there were many — was NOM’s distribution of a sheet of paper about Catholics for Equality, “In Their Own Words,” intended to smear the g…

Resurrecting Marley at 70: Rastafari History in 5 Songs

By Darren J. N. Middleton

…these five songs. Listeners will not simply hear the music’s familiar drum-and-bassline, they will emerge with proficiency in Rastafari and a newfound sense of black history. Bob Marley would be proud. 1. Ancient King, “Ethiopie” Adored by Rastafari founders as the fulfilment of Marcus Garvey’s late 1920s prophecy (“Look to Africa for the crowning of a King, for the day of deliverance is near”), Ras Tafari was crowned Emperor of Ethiopia on Novem…

400 Churchgoing Mormons March in SLC Pride Parade

By Joanna Brooks

…says Barrus, who came to march in support of his gay nephew and gay sister-in-law. “People really felt compelled to come out no matter how miserable. And it was hot.” Meredith Hudson LeSueur, a straight LDS mother of two from Herriman, Utah, started to cry when she arrived at the Mormons Building Bridges meeting spot to find what she described as a “sea of Sunday best and strollers,” including her own—festooned in rainbow streamers. It was import…

Rape-Marriage of Nigerian Girls is ‘Biblical Marriage’

By Wil Gafney

…In Ruth 1:4, the verb used for their union is not the verb for marriage (l-q-ch) but the verb n-s-’, to “lift,” “abduct,” as in “throw her over your shoulder and run off with her.” It is the same verb used in the Judges text detailing the abduction and rape of the girls in Shiloh. We must tell the truth that what is biblical is not always godly, holy or even right. We must teach the bible’s Iron Age theology because it permeates our culture and s…

Lila Rose and the Right Resurrect Malicious Child Predator Myth Putting LGBTQ People in Even Greater Danger

By R.L. Stollar

…amilies were close.) Her big break, however, didn’t come until she was a 19-year-old history undergraduate at UCLA. It was while attending UCLA that Rose began filming undercover videos of Planned Parenthoods across the United States. Her first videos, produced in conjunction with right-wing provocateur and convicted criminal James O’Keefe, caught the attention of national media with their claims that Planned Parenthood violated mandatory reportin…

Francis Visits the Church that John Paul Broke

By Patricia Miller

…vatives question Francis’ legitimacy, like my conservative Catholic brother-in-law who recently told me: “He’s not my pope.” While many Catholics rejected the church’s teaching on birth control because it didn’t align with either their own sense of morality or the realities of their lives, Republican-leaning Catholics have been politically conditioned to ignore Francis’ message on everything from climate change to economics. Francis faces another…
