Muslims Are Not the Only Group Endangered By Hate

By Shabana Mir

…der of Marwa Sherbini in a Dresden courtroom and the proceeding silence in Germany point to a disturbing trend in Europe. It is okay to hate Muslims. Alex W. was not a “lone wolf” and many xenophobic groups are no longer quite fringe. These developments are disturbing to all Europeans, not just to Muslims. Because the doors of hatred do not operate singly. One door of hatred opens multiple doors. Non-Muslim immigrants and minorities should not rea…

…usive regulation” are “as wrong and immoral and stealing;” and the the tax code should be revamped “so we can rejoice together because it would stimulate economic growth.” But there’s more. There’s good, and there’s evil, and in laying out a parade of evils, Robison lists “radical Islam,” “terrorism” and “extreme environmental activism” all in the same breath.

The Biblical Circus of William Stringfellow

By Nathan Schneider

…room full of the country’s top theologians, the great Karl Barth came from Germany and proclaimed over Stringfellow, the sole layperson, “Listen to this man!” What struck me when I first discovered his books was how impossible he seemed. Then a little more than now, the terms for discussion about religion in America were set by George W. Bush’s presidency and its constituency. You were either with the faith-based, Bible-beating “values” or you wer…

…e.” He cited Bonhoffer looking the evil of Naziism in the face in Hitler’s Germany. Americans, he said are being “trampled” by the “secular left” because churches and pastors have “stopped defending the truth fearlessly.” Hagee said “We as a people need to become bold and aggressive.” “This is my mantra to my congregation and to America,” said Hagee. “Vote the Bible.” More specifically, he said, it was impermissible to vote for the Democratic Par…

By Mary Rambaran-Olm

…shadow of death to secure a wifi connection long enough to learn what this latest outrage is about. Swift has hit songs like “Anti-Hero” and “Sad, Beautiful, Tragic,” but apparently she sings and dances stiffly (I mean swiftly) and she has a fantastic PR team that carefully crafts her political views so she simultaneously has no vocal opinions or has some opinions on things, or “a penchant for liberal politics,” and/or may or may not be a feminist…

What the Fight over Allah says about the Future of Evangelical Christianity

By Richard Flory

…en ruined in the name of theological purity. Professor Hawkins is just the latest casualty. But things are changing within evangelicalism. Evangelical schools are facing decreasing enrollments and a declining pool of religiously acceptable students. Other evangelical institutions (such as megachurches) appear to be carrying on as usual, but they are showing signs of stress. Memberships have plateaued over the last several years, and some megachurc…
