By Edward E. Curtis IV

…The globe’s most powerful symbol of resistance to U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War was the Nation of Islam’s most famous member, boxer Muhammad Ali. In 1967, Ali refused induction in the U.S. armed forces to protest the war, and as a result, was forced to give up his heavyweight boxing crown. In 2017, even though no Muslim American critic of U.S. foreign policy has the international stature of Muhammad Ali, the very presence of Muslims in the…

…ing the country together after the Kent State massacre and the toll of the Vietnam War. Graham led a prayer service on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. Graham’s sermon included checking the “stitches” (on the US flag) of racism, poverty and foreign policy.

MLK Monument That Never Was, is a Reminder of the King Too Often Ignored

By Ed Simon

…justified prophetic fury, could write in 1968 that American imperialism in Vietnam constituted “an unjust, evil, and futile war,” is to not fully respect the enormity of King’s vision. Conservatives, like Jesse Helms and the since-sainted John McCain, who despicably opposed the institution of a Martin Luther King Day holiday when it was first proposed in 1979, did so in part precisely because of the minister’s prophetic, radical urgency.

Did Pence Decline to Wear a Mask Because He’s a ‘Muscular Christian’?

By John Stoehr

…illed more Americans over a month and a half than all who died fighting in Vietnam over 19 years. It’s the smart thing to do in a health clinic whose patients are recovering from COVID-19, the disease caused by the new coronavirus. It’s the smart thing to do for the official second-in-line to the most powerful office in the land. Pence is no dummy. What gives? Some have speculated he doesn’t believe he needs one. As a twice-born conservative Chris…

High Holidays Watch: Seth Rogen’s Latest Highlights the ‘American Pickle’ of Living with Death

…arly 1970s as the anchor duly reported the number of US soldiers killed in Vietnam. After a while we became numb to the numbers. We bantered during the reportage, or got up to get a drink, either because we couldn’t bear to hear it, or because it became meaningless. Numbers are the entry point to the banality of death. An American Pickle is a film about two people, who are really one person (Seth Rogen plays both roles), the hapless Herschel Green…

He also took aim at Time and Newsweek, instead recommending conservative magazines such as Human Events and Conservative Digest, and he called for a fourth television news network “committed to rendering a conservative view…

Are We Seeing the End of the ‘Good Arabs’ in Israel?

By Shaul Magid

…e sought to indoctrinate Arab schoolchildren with the Zionist narrative…to promote obedience to the authorities, and to challenge non-Israeli national identities.” Cohen shows that while there were some real successes in that area, the project mostly failed, and the half century occupation of individuals, many of whom are relatives of these Arab Israelis, eroded that assimilatory project even more. Thus, many of these individuals prefer “Palestini…

Irony Repeats Itself: Reconsidering Reinhold Niebuhr in the Trump Era

By Gary Dorrien

…ate 1950s, and stunned many Niebuhrians, in the mid-1960s, by opposing the Vietnam War. Any attempt to capture his extraordinary life, thought, and career has to show how and why he changed so many times, and why he attained such a commanding stature in social ethics. Doblmeier pulls it off adeptly, mixing snippets of Niebuhr’s writing, archival photos, and interviews with Elisabeth Sifton (Niebuhr’s daughter), Andrew Young, Jimmy Carter, David Br…
