Why Romney Won’t Stand up to the Bigotry of Bryan Fischer

By Joanna Brooks

…sed mastermind of last summer’s white Christian supremacist mass-murder in Norway, as an “accurate” thinker. And called for the deportation of Muslims. And described Nazism as the invention of “homosexual thugs.” And blamed the genocide of American Indians on the alleged immorality of indigenous people. And, most recently, Fischer argued that the First Amendment does not apply to non-Christians, including (and perhaps especially) Mormons. That’s…

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…

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…

Pamela Geller Accuses Critics of “Blood Libel of the Worst Kind”

By Sarah Posner

…ry, inciting speech against Islam played a role in shaping the thinking of Norway terrorist Anders Behring Breivik. Yesterday, she called these criticisms of the “über-left, Islamic media machine” and “a blood libel of the worst kind.” When Sarah Palin accused her critics, who raised questions about her crosshairs map in the wake of Jared Loughner’s shooting rampage, of engaging in “blood libel,” Anthea Butler wrote in these pages: Blood libel, a…

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

…The one advantage of religiously-based morality—the fact that it claims to promote “absolute” or “objective” values—is also its greatest weakness. For one, religious ethics require belief in certain theological doctrines or sacred texts, limiting moral discourse to one religious tradition and excluding the majority of humanity. In an increasingly pluralistic and globalized society, religiously-based ethics cannot produce any sort of moral consensu…

Expelled: Christian Student Claims Discrimination, But Judge Says No

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…ntended she violated school policy and the American Counseling Association code of ethics. That code, by the way, is clear about what is expected from counselors: Counselors do not condone or engage in discrimination based on age, culture, disability, ethnicity, race, religion/spirituality, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, marital status/partnership, language preference, socioeconomic status, or any basis proscribed by law. Counselors…

It’s Up to You, New York… To Oppose Islamophobia

By Randall Balmer

…ll Manhattan, Henry Hudson, an Englishman under contract to the Dutch East India Company, nosed the Half Moon through the same Narrows and struggled north on the river that now bears his name. The first group of settlers to disembark in Manhattan were Walloons, French-speaking Belgians, followed shortly by a modest influx of Netherlanders, Germans and French. English Puritans bracketed Dutch settlement on Long Island, while Swedes and Finns became…

RDBook: Bernard Avishai’s The Hebrew Republic

By Mitchell Plitnick

…s its expertise in high-tech. Yet the fact of the matter is that China and India, with their massive populations, have a much bigger human resource pool to draw upon than Israel. If the instability created by constant conflict continues, Israel will continue to see an exodus of innovators and venture capitalists-the very population it needs to retain its market. I say “continues” because the brain drain has already begun. Though Israel experience…

Why are Nuns and Monks in the Streets? (Parts I & II)

By José Cabezón

…traditionally varies according to the Tibetan lunar calendar, in order to promote tourism. Of the various policies implemented by Chinese governmental agencies in recent years two have been the greatest source of friction between the clergy and the government. The control of the number of monks and nuns in monastic institutions, and the implementation of “patriotic re-education.” Since it is largely these policies that have brought the clergy int…
