First Draft Of History Today Could Be Fox News Promo Tomorrow

…kowtow to the board and rewrite their social studies textbooks to meet the new standards, what kids could someday learn about health-care reform might sound like watching an hour of Fox News. Kids might be instructed to learn to compare and contrast the landmark legislation to the Black Plague, the 9/11 attacks, the attack on Pearl Harbor, Bloody Sunday, or even the Jonestown massacre, as commentator Pat Caddell told Sean Hannity. (Real classy.) R…

You Can Take The Boy Out of the Crack House: MyPillow CEO’s New Book Promo Has Deep Roots in American Christianity

…end time with our families.” Trump-as-the-chosen-hand-of-God is relatively new theology, to be sure, though no doubt the theology leading Trump to tout Lindell as a Senate candidate in Minnesota. (Lindell wouldn’t be the first Quistian candidate from the Land of 10,000 Lakes.) But Lindell’s remarks point to another extensive thread in American religious history: the belief, contrary to every bit of scriptural evidence, that the Christian God only…

If Muslims Stop Drinking Will They Become Violent?

…this article is laced with. Instead, the author references how “moderate” Bosnian Islam used to be by noting that Bosnians would drink after breaking the daily Ramadan fast. New rule: Define certain key words—‘moderate,’ ‘terrorist,’ ‘liberal.’ Notice the correlation: If Bosnians drink less, that must mean they’re on the road to terrorism and extremism. Even where some evidence is presented, such as the presence of foreign Muslim fighters, this i…

The Bleeding Heart of Muslim Europe

…to bury them. That’s the English-language edition of Turkey’s top-selling newspaper; the story is big news in Turkish, too. It means something different to people here. Today, while we fly to Sarajevo, Istanbul’s Taksim Meydanı—think Cairo’s Tahrir Square—will see the gathering of over 8,000 pairs of shoes in a memorial honoring each person who died at Srebrenica. Even the country’s Prime Minister has sent a pair in. The connections between Turke…

How to Prevent Ethnic Cleansing in Syria

…, Lebanon, and others in the region. Syria’s Destiny The reason the war in Bosnia remains frozen isn’t because a great political solution has been found. To the contrary, Bosnia’s political system is mired in endless gridlock. The country doesn’t work. The primary reason it’s still around is because the promise of European Union membership offers a far larger, wealthier, and safer space, within which tiny Bosnia becomes a little piece of a bigger…

What’s Islamophobia, and Do I Have It?

…ar.   Ian Frazier’s book came to my attention when it was excerpted in The New Yorker; as it turns out, The New Yorker funded his expedition. Now, of course, I don’t think his opinions of Islamic history are that magazine’s, and I don’t think Frazier is some kind of bigot. But still, the audience for Richardson’s book would not seem to be the audience for Frazier’s, and yet we spy similarly sloppy claims.   If you pay close attention, Islam and Mu…

Apocalyptic Rhetoric at Moms for Liberty Summit Illustrates Political Challenge of 2024

…t how “bad” things are, asserting several times that if Republicans lose in 2024 “there’s no coming back.” And interestingly enough, out of all four presidential candidates present at the summit, it was Trump who not only got the most enthusiastic reception, but also used the most explicit God talk. In his disinformation-filled rant, Trump referred to the “joyful warriors” in the audience as victims of “demented persecution,” spoke of the importan…

BYU Honor Code Used to Harass Black Atheletes

…de, we sounded a note of caution here at RD about the “dark side” of honor code enforcement. After all, the honor code had been created during the 1960s in an effort by ultra-conservative BYU President Ernest Wilkinson to root out liberals, and honor code enforcement (including anonymous referrals) had been used to bait and harrass feminist, liberal, and gay students, shut down campus free speech, and compromise the privacy of pastoral counseling…

Where’s Wallnau? A NAR Apostle Takes Aim at Swing Counties in ‘The Battle for the Mountain of Government’

…elicals reportedly voted for Trump in 2016, the percentage dropped to 76 percent in 2020, though experts contend that White evangelical support for Trump is “remarkably stable and consistently strong.” AFPI believes that if they can get back to 81, or even part way, that could make the difference in 2024. But wherever Wallnau, AFPI, and their partners go this election season, and whatever the outcomes of elections at all levels in 2024, the strugg…
