Arguments That Caste Protections ‘Unjustly Target’ South Asians Don’t Stand Up to Scrutiny

By Pranay Somayajula and Nikhil Mandalaparthy

…th Asians. Under Cal State’s facially neutral policy, a non-South Asian professor who makes an inappropriate comment about a student’s caste identity would be just as liable as a South Asian student who ostracizes their classmate on the basis of caste. Cal State’s policy isn’t limited to South Asians, because casteism isn’t limited to South Asians—the largest survey of Indian American attitudes to date, which found that 5 percent of Indian America…

What Salman Rushdie’s Attacker Shares with Insurrectionist Ashli Babbitt

By Mark Juergensmeyer

…one it simply to impress them and to receive what he imagined would be accolades from the community. Still, it was a daring act, especially for someone described by those who knew him as a shy loner. Why would he undertake such a risky operation that provided no easy escape, and that was almost certain to result in his death, injury, and/or a long period of incarceration? What we know about Matar replicates the story of the Tsarnaev brothers who w…

Contrary to Popular Narrative the Supreme Court’s ‘303’ Decision Gutting Civil Rights Laws is not About an Individual Standing Up For Her Beliefs

By Andrew L. Seidel

…se they packed the court. Some outlets, in their misguided quest to prize balance over truth, will tell you that this case is about Lorie Smith, a small business owner—an artist. It’s not. It’s about a Christian nationalist crusade to gut civil rights laws. ADF has an extensive and repugnant anti-LGTBQ history. It’s argued versions of the same case—anti-LGBTQ Christians challenging public accommodation laws—for about a decade. Florists, photograph…

As a Queer Catholic Woman I Had High Hopes Before the 2023 Catholic Synod on Synodality

By Emma Cieslik

…holics, acknowledge that the changes Francis and other LGBTQ Catholics and allies are pushing for will not be achieved this year. They probably won’t be achieved this century. The door is rusted and rooted—it’s probably going to take more substantial remodeling. The Church moves at a slow pace, and I’m hopeful that these small moments will mean something, perhaps in a few decades or centuries. But at this moment, it feels like it doesn’t. The prog…

Wrestling and Religion: We Know It’s Fake and We Don’t Care

By Jess Peacock

…ate educational parody film,” as he calls it, is that what people think professional wrestling is, it’s not. Its rich storytelling and epic, almost mythological, canon is generally obscured by that ever present question from baffled non-fans, “You know it’s all fake, right?” I’m not going to lie – I absolutely love professional wrestling. Since I first laid my adolescent eyes upon the masked Mr. Wrestling II on Georgia Championship Wrestling in th…

“Who Is This God?”: The Controversial Sequel to the Jesus Seminar

By Sarah Morice-Brubaker

…asked. Ah, the nineties; they were a marvel. But back to the question that festooned our wrists and hopefully sometimes occupied our minds: What would Jesus, a first-century Jewish Palestinian peasant, do? Well… he would probably do first-century Jewish Palestinian things, wouldn’t he? But then, how do we know? Whom do we consult? The authors of the ancient texts that comprise what we now know as the canonical New Testament, and those in the inter…

No Buddhists in Washington?

By Danny Fisher

…er the Insight Meditation Society, the San Francisco Zen Center, and Shambhala Mountain Center, each of which attract thousands of visitors every year for programs of contemplative practice and study. Consider Maitri Compassionate Care in San Francisco, a very early North American AIDS hospice established by the late Issan Dorsey of the Hartford Street Zen Center. Consider the Prison Dharma Network and the National Prison Hospice Association, both…

Pat Robertson Warns Yoga Will Have You Speaking Hindu

By Andrea R. Jain

…orthodoxy such as the historical-critical study of religions and Darwin’s theory of evolution), so contemporary yogaphobia flourishes in direct proportion to yoga’s increasing popularization. In other words, as yoga becomes more and more a part of the norm in places, such as the United States, where it only underwent popularization in the last few decades, the social and religious conservatives will voice their opposition more frequently and in in…

By Michael J. Altman

…ronmentalism DVD series. Bummer. Hummus sparked a controversy between pro-Palestinian and Jewish students at DePaul University. A federal judge has put a permanent hold on the Oklahoma ballot measure that prohibited Sharia law in state courts. In Saudi Arabia, the Mecca Clock Royal Tower is under construction. When finished it will be the second tallest building in the world. It is also located right next to the Kaaba, Islam’s holiest site. And th…

RDBook: Power Belongs to God

By Nathan Schneider

…re of American Protestant fundamentalism, and The Family is its purest manifestation. So we don’t have to, Sharlet catches himself in the act: “We keep trying to explain away American fundamentalism.” Barack Obama’s notorious suggestion that in their misery, small-towners “cling to guns or religion” certainly belongs to this old Marxist habit. But while Sharlet stops himself short of explaining away, he never quite abandons the “we” who are not th…
