The Myth of the ‘Lone Wolf’ Shooter Blinds Us to the Reality of White Supremacy

By Ivan Strenski

…a “pack”? And how can we act while protecting our First Amendment right to free speech? Leaving aside spectacles of wolf-pack frenzy like Charlottesville’s torchlight parade, we don’t routinely see these wolf packs rallying at the local VFW hall. Yet, we know these shooters run with a “pack” of their own kind. We know who gives them aid and comfort. Anyone who can surf the web knows white supremacists have a tendency to broadcast their views far a…

Breivik’s Demographic Warfare and the American Right’s Demographic Winter

By Sarah Posner

…s from 2011 would be 2081; why did he date the final purge of Muslims from Norway to be two years later, in 2083? I found the answer on page 242 of Breivik’s manifesto, where he explains that on 1683 at the Battle of Vienna, the Ottoman Empire’s military was defeated in a protracted struggle, thereby insuring that most of Europe would not become part of the Muslim empire. The date in Breivik’s title is the 400th anniversary of that decisive battle…

Case Against Church-State Separation From Unlikely Source

By Peter Laarman

…ges that in plumping for faith-based initiatives, he is also recycling and promoting ideas from his 2009 book, God’s Economy, which embraced the theory of the Bush initiative. Holes in the History, Perils in the Prescription I’m very glad that Daly uncovers the historical currents informing both Catholic social thought and US labor history. I join him in wishing that more people knew about the work of moral theologian John Ryan, for example, and I…

AFA’s Fischer Calls Breivik’s Manifesto “Accurate”

By Sarah Posner

…s murder. Breivik’s angst was caused by the presence of so many Muslims in Norway and Europe, which he correctly observes is leading to “cultural annihilation.” But he blames their presence not on the Muslims themselves but on the “cultural Marxists” and their obsession with diversity and unrestricted Islamic immigration. So he went after the Marxists rather than the Muslims. (emphasis added). Fischer (whose columns always include the disclaimer t…

Breivik’s Christianity About Culture Not Piety

By Julie Ingersoll

…ure. The media and academia are “the enemy” and the Marxism he claims they promote is at the root of an impending social collapse of Western Christendom. And he is vitriolic in his Islamophobia. Breivik apparently was baptized a Protestant, and he does use the Bible, though he does not do so in the way fundamentalists do. In fact, he is explicit that sola scriptura leads to “incipient subjectivism:” The Protestant doctrine of Sola Scriptura (by sc…

The Far-Right Embrace of the Knights Templar isn’t Just About Faith, Tradition or History — It’s About Hate

By Thomas Lecaque

…mbership in his manifesto connected to the 2011 bombing and mass murder in Norway. Far-right groups like the Knights Templar International use the same kinds of rhetoric, promoting anti-Muslim hate and Christian nationalism in Serbia and elsewhere. And Brenton Tarrant, the terrorist responsible for the Christchurch mosque mass shootings, copied the language of Breivik’s manifesto and covered his weapons with names, dates and rhetoric of white supr…

Espionage Allegations Against Russian Church Raise Religious Freedom Issue in Ukraine

By Katherine Kelaidis

…security reasons to do so, is unquestionably placing a limit on religious freedom in Ukraine. Which in theory should be a problem for a country that, seemingly as part of its national security strategy, is increasingly positioning itself on the world stage as dedicated to liberalism and pluralism. The easiest answer to this problem is to say that the Russian Orthodox Church deserves to be banned if it’s operating as a spy network for Putin; that…

Jihad Chai Latte

By Haroon Moghul

…like Jeffrey Goldberg and Pamela Geller immediately blamed Muslims for the Norway attacks, even in the first minutes after the attack, when absolutely no evidence was available as to who was responsible (that’s not all Geller did). Millions of American Muslims go about their lives in entirely normal ways, and the actions of a few, amplified by media platforms and irresponsible journalists, obscure that reality. Then Joe Nocera tries to compare Te…

Crisis in Sudan: ‘If the World Stands Idly By This Time, They Will Bring Genocide’

By Frederick Clarkson

…ken away and killed. Therefore, we call on the United States, Britain, and Norway [nations with an historic interest in Sudan] to stop the bombing campaigns that kill civilians. Why can’t they create a no-fly zone over the Nuba Mountains and the entire South Kordofan state to protect civilians from [our] own government’s air strikes? The international community must also intervene to open up full access for the humanitarian organizations to supply…

Imagine No Religion: Sustaining Morality Without God

By Konstantin Petrenko

…however, lies not in their rejection of religion, but in how they approach freedom of conscience and religious liberty. Whenever the state tries to enforce ideological or religious conformity, such policies will always result in tragedy. This was the case in Stalinist Soviet Union and Maoist China, but the same was true of Taliban-controlled Afghanistan, Puritan Massachusetts, Catholic Spain, or Christian Rome. In reality, despite all the tragedie…
