By Joanna Brooks

…tion about polygamy came, I imagined listeners in Wales and Bangladesh and Kenya, listeners who had no concept of Mormonism, perhaps, beyond the most rudimentary and familiar stereotypes; including nineteenth-century Mormon polygamy. I squeezed my eyes shut. “No,” I said, “we no longer practice polygamy,” agreeing this time around with the LDS Church public-relations official. As I did, I registered an old, familiar, sinking feeling. I tried to te…

The Only Common Denominator of American Conservatism is Anti-Blackness

By Yannick Marshall

…. They would hear conservatives out when they claim that South Africa’s or Kenya’s richest farmland ended up in white hands because of the “white work ethic” or that Reconstruction’s Black farms found today in white pockets got there fair and square. They will believe that the reason Harriett Tubman’s image will not appear on U.S. currency as planned is that the current administration has concerns about counterfeiting. Or that a president who boug…

Op-Ed: God’s Will in Iraq: Sarah Palin and America’s Global Mission

By Joel Schalit

…the last twelve months, a mixed race Senator from Illinois, with roots in Kenya, and bearing an Arabic middle name, became the front-runner in a campaign to take over the US presidency. Nothing could augur a more dramatic shift, culturally as well as ideologically, than this. Though a religious Christian, Obama is, in the eyes of many Americans, the opposite of Palin. Reason instead of revelation, democracy, not theocracy, education instead of pr…

Single Greatest Idea Ever: On the 150th Anniversary of Darwin’s Origin of Species

By Lauri Lebo

…a sizable portion of the population continues to believe Obama was born in Kenya, about half of Americans continue to say they don’t accept the reality of evolution. The big difference between the Kitzmiller trial and what we’e witnessing today is that the Seattle-based Discovery Institute (intelligent design’s chief champion) at least pretended it had developed a legitimate scientific theory—even though, to this day, there remains not one peer re…

What Happens If the Bible Is the “Owner’s Manual For Life”

By Sarah Posner

…policy. This is the same Chris Smith, by the way, who recently traveled to Kenya to condemn that country’s recent decriminalization of abortion, after expending taxpayer resources demanding a USAID Inspector General investigation into whether the Obama administration had broken the law prohibiting taxpayer dollars from being used to lobby for or against abortion overseas. USAID had supported the passage of a new Kenyan constitution, which decrimin…

Saving Teens from Obama: When Bible Study Goes Wrong

By Vyckie Garrison

…e can’t perceive the president’s values without understanding those of his Kenyan father. As Chassé and I sat in the theater after the film ended, I wondered again why the local Salvation Army pastors, known as “officers,” felt it was appropriate to take my daughter and seven other youth group members—mostly disadvantaged, mostly Hispanic kids between the ages of 10 and 19—to see such a partisan film as part of their Bible study discussion on “jus…

Rush Limbaugh’s Race-Baiting and Gaslighting of Obama Paved the Way for Trump

By Ian Reifowitz

…ck Hussein Obama.” He had a Muslim father and an extended Muslim family in Kenya. He was partly raised and educated in Indonesia by a Muslim stepfather. He has Muslim half-sisters and brothers.” This went on for a while before, at the end of the segment, Limbaugh pulled back ever so slightly: “Now, having said all that, none of what I have said means that Obama’s a Muslim and none of it means that Obama’s not a sincere Christian. If he’s going to…

By Jeff Sharlet

…rue identity as a Muslim sleeper agent from the mostly Christian nation of Kenya. If a White man doesn’t see a Black man, does the Black man even exist? “I will give you my country,” Root is shouting, his fist high above his head now, “when you pry it from my cold. Dead. Hands!” He gathers up the screaming crowd. “Will you fight! Will you fight! Are! You! Warriors! For Trump! Are you the Trump Army?” Of course they are. Thus their reward: “Do you…

…Kiir and the rebel leader Riek Machar, andinaugurated an airport hangar in Kenya. Graham is also anti-gay, backing Russia’s draconian laws against sexual minorities. He told delegates at a recent Oklahoma State Evangelism Conference to “get involved in politics. [The] gays and lesbians are in politics [and] all the anti-God people are.” Despite repeated requests, the group refused to provide details on the amount of money it currently spends in So…

Not a Review of Would You Baptise an Extraterrestrial?

By Nick Tabor

…he University of Arizona. After a stint of teaching at Harvard, he went to Kenya on an assignment for the Peace Corps, which convinced him that he wanted to put his work in the service of his values, instead of just his income. He didn’t particularly care about marrying. As he explains in Brother Astronomer, he felt a strong sense one day while praying that it was time he joined the Jesuits, whose avowed mission is to “find God in all things.” Aft…
