Is New Park51 Advisor Any Better Than Feisal Abdul-Rauf?

…t from another activist that pointed out that this is not a new canard. To talk about homosexuality as an illness is an old trope and it does not belong to any one religion. We still see ongoing issues in various Christian “ex-Gay” movements. Most importantly, they got a gay Muslim, Parvez Sharma, to talk about his reaction and his question as to whether the community will be welcoming. Only time will answer Sharma’s question, but according to the…

Will ABC ‘Whitewash’ Radical Rand Paul Tonight?

…ducation. Neither father nor son are anything close to mainstream—you can read some more about them background here, and here.   The clip below ends with Paul saying, in a visionary tone: “we can fix what’s wrong, we just can’t be afraid to talk about it. I’m not afraid to talk about it and I’m not afraid to not get re-elected.” It’ll be interesting to see if the full show is more substantial, or if, perhaps, David Letterman finds a way to really…

Romney on Israel: More GOP Than LDS

…to be fundamentally critical of the Zionist project because our scriptures talk about the return of Jews to the Holy Land,” said Peterson, “there’s certainly room to disagree about the form that it’s taken or specific policies of the Israeli government. Some are going to be very sympathetic. You take someone like Glenn Beck who’s obviously very closely aligned with the government of Israel but others who are extremely critical and embarrassed that…

…ullors, a co-founder of the Black Lives Matter movement. At the end of her talk she exhorted us to repeat the famous words of Assata Shakur: It is our duty to fight for our freedom It is our duty to win We must love each other and support each other We have nothing to lose but our chains I remember speaking the words loudly despite the lump in my throat.

Why We Can’t Afford to “Wait And See” How Trump Dismantles LGBT Rights

…o try desperately to hang on to the protections we’ve earned thus far. Any talk of expanding those protections is essentially off the table. Sessions is also one of two Trump cabinet appointees who are co-sponsors of the odious First Amendment Defense Act (FADA), which, if passed, would carve out a yuuuge religious exemption to the nation’s already weakened nondiscrimination laws. A sort of mutant offspring of Vice President-elect Mike Pence’s con…

Dutch Treat: Betsy DeVos and the Christian Schools Movement

…etter way to rebuild our families and our communities. If all of the DeVos talk about “advancing God’s Kingdom” and making the church, not the public school, the center of community life sounds a bit weird to you, dear reader, it does not sound weird at all to me. I grew up hearing exactly that kind of talk. Betsy DeVos happens to be the now-very-public face of what has long been a quiet but very powerful drive for taxpayer-supported religious sch…

Hanukkah Marks the Complexities of Assimilation and Syncretism Faced by American Jews

…seems that America is a deeply religious country that doesn’t know how to talk about religious sincerity in public without an airing of grievance, in a story of its loss, or through a political lens. Most of us American Jews know two things about our tradition: that we’re working out our struggles with aspects of it all the time even as we live inside it; and that if and when we see ourselves in Jewish life and community, it’s because we’ve made…

Well, the Harris-Trump Debate Happened — Now Enjoy Your Freedom and Choose Wisely

…c hygiene products or basic anesthetic during childbirth. There was little talk about the details of policies (though, to be fair, when Harris tried her efforts were met with increasingly byzantine lies), mostly due to the fact that Harris will continue Biden’s policies and Trump doesn’t necessarily care if he wins or loses. It’s all a game. People are expendable the world over, and both Trump and Harris talked over each other, climbing some imagi…
