America Appears to be Heading for a Religious Civil War

By Nilay Saiya

…mass religious violence around the world in settings as diverse as Egypt, India, Myanmar, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. At first blush, it may seem that the United States shares little in common with these developing countries. Yet I have found unsettling similarities. In all these countries, the widespread adoption of a more militant approach stemmed centrally from fears that a historically and culturally dominant religious group was in danger of los…

We Would Be Wise to Pay Attention to Trump’s Apocalyptic QAnon Posting Spree

By Thomas Lecaque

…ind him. He holds in his right hand a ghostly “Q+” (according to some, the code name Trump himself uses when he posts on Q message boards) and the text reads “The World Will Soon Understand/Nothing Can Stop What is Coming,” a direct reference to “The Storm.” As I wrote back in 2020: The QAnoners’ apocalypse, unsurprisingly, is one of political partisan violence, culminating in “The Storm,” when all of the so-called “deep state leaders” will be arr…

The Anglican and the Evangelicals: Insights from the Sudanese Genocide

By Frederick Clarkson

…’ and sisters’ keepers, wherever they may be. Loving our neighbor requires promoting peace and justice in a world marred by genocidal violence.” …and the Evangelicals Brad Phillips, who heads the Virginia-based Persecution Project, now lives in Kenya, and simultaneously serves as the Sudan country director for Voice of the Martyrs, an evangelical agency that since 1967 has focused on helping Christians in restricted countries, emphasizing communis…

RDBook: Is Zionism Anti-Semitic?: Zizek’s Violence

By Joel Schalit

…fortunately, it rings true. When genocide has become routinized (Cambodia, Bosnia, Rwanda, and now Darfur), it becomes necessary to find ways to criticize European “anti-anti-Semitism”—to point out that this posture actually ends up restraining debate about state-sanctioned discrimination, even mass murder. What makes pundits like Plocker so uncomfortable is that anti-anti-Semitism should be up for question at all, let alone critiqued—even in the…

In “The Promise,” A Reminder That U.S. Apathy to Genocide Endures

By Hussein Rashid

…ven when we memorialize recent and catastrophic events like the Holocaust, Bosnia, or Rwanda, it is with a shake of our heads and the wonder that people could let this happen. It helps us to think we are neither the perpetrators nor victims of genocide, and we never will be. Yet, as the Rohingya are being cleansed from their ancestral land, as Syrian children are washed up like refuse on beaches, we still do not acknowledge the lesson that it take…

Convergence of Far-Right, Anti-Democratic Factions in the Northwest Could Provide a Model for the Rest of the Nation

By Frederick Clarkson and Cloee Cooper

…t. He’s a former officer in the Army and the National Guard, who served in Bosnia and Iraq and has a remarkable post-military resume that established his credentials as a leader in both the Christian Right and the Patriot movement. He was a cofounder of the state political affiliate of Focus on the Family as well as founder of the Spokane chapter of the anti-Muslim group, ACT for America. In 2017 Shea was elected chair of the Republican Caucus. A…

Breivik Sought to Create ‘Mirror Universe’ of EU

By Haroon Moghul

…not substantive. The instances Breivik approvingly cites (say, the war in Bosnia) pre-date al Qaeda’s prominence by years. To try to construct a chronology of responsibility is not going to clarify the reasons for this massacre; or give us ideas on how to prevent it. The reason Muslim and Christian extremism resemble each other is because they are products of the same global processes, which transcend and subsume religions and regions and even na…

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

By Sara Kamali

…such as the Srebrenica massacre took place. Indeed, the wars in Rwanda and Bosnia have many similarities. Yet, the media coverage differed greatly. Fair-skinned Bosnians were contextualized, personalized, and humanized, while Black Rwandans were depicted as the undeserving Other. Whatever the color of our skin, we’re living on the same planet that’s currently beleaguered by overlapping crises, including racism, wars, the climate crisis, inflation,…

Forget the Pope—We Need a New Caliph!

By Haroon Moghul

…How many Muslim leaders are women? Bam! Plus: she’s the elected mayor of a Bosnian town, which means she can handle Eastern European men—an added bonus. Wham! She’s won praise for her administration, commitment, and seriousness, which means she can finally get Muslim events to start on time. Plus, she’d remove stereotypes that Islam is purely an “Arab” phenomenon. Also, a white woman in a headscarf as Caliph would destroy Orientalist narratives an…

Sex Work: In Bed with the Religious Right

By Dagmar Herzog

…th. It’s not about hellfire anymore. Repression has now been repackaged as promotion of mental well-being. Suddenly everything is about low self-esteem: homosexuality, abortions, pornography, premarital sex. The Bush administration mandated in 2006 that high school curricula dependent on federal funding (and at that point 46 of the 50 states took federal funding for abstinence ed) must inform students that sex before marriage could lead to depress…
