The bill’s sponsors promote it as a measure to “protect children from harmful information.” Member of Parliament Aldan Smayil said the legislation’s intent was ““to protect children from information that kills the feeling of warmth and humanity, which is harmful to the health and psyche, promotes violence and is, in short, spiritually devastating to the younger generation.” Finland: Marriage E…

Libya’s Religious Leaders take Surprising Position:

By H.A. Hellyer

…right now—it just won’t be put back in. First it was Tunisia, then it was Egypt, and now it’s as though the entire Arab world is stirring. Nothing is certain in Libya, except that violence will continue. But in a country that bred the likes of Omar al-Mukhtar, the famed 20th century resistance leader who struggled against Italian fascist occupation for so long, there’s no lack of courage or a taste for defeat. One interesting aspect of the revolt…

Why Are Muslims So Concerned with Muhammad?

By Haroon Moghul

…owing the recent violence in Libya and the storming of the U.S. embassy in Egypt, many media outlets will report that Muslims find portrayals of the Prophet Muhammad—images, videos, movies—to be blasphemous and offensive. While many Muslims (especially Sunnis) find portrayals of the Prophet Muhammad, and other sacred religious figures (Jesus, Mary, Moses, etc.) to be offensive in and of themselves, this doesn’t quite explain the degree of offense…

End Times in North African Revolutions

By Joanna Brooks

Even after they’ve been goaded by the likes of Glenn Beck to fear the Egyptian revolution, I’m getting the sense that conservative religious folks don’t know quite what to make of the anti-authoritarian revolutions across North Africa. “Just tell me, is this the kind of thing where missionaries are going to lay dead in the streets of Jerusalem for three days?” a close friend asked me, referring to a sign-of-the-times prophecy popular among LDS pe…

By Amy Laura Hall

…s basic. That part of the myth abides, and, while not pretty, is a kind of code of right masculinity. The note draws on a shorthand “WE SEE” regarding how Ennis is “exemplary.” You, we, can judge a man by how he treats “his animals” and, in this case, the animals he’s paid to keep alive. Ennis’s father had forced Ennis at age 9 to look at the body of a man dismembered alive, and he made sure Ennis knew why. Ennis and Jack each marry women not only…

First it Was an Insurrection Flag, Now Supreme Court Justice Alito is Caught Flying Another Far-Right Flag — An ‘Emblem for an Extensive Spiritual Warfare Campaign’

…inked efforts of NAR networks, it’s become a potent far-right symbol and a coded emblem for an extensive spiritual warfare campaign, all of which became entwined with the Trump Administration and Trump 2020 Campaign. […] In the helter-skelter season between the 2020 election and the January 6 attempt to forcibly interfere with the result, the Appeal to Heaven flag had become a ubiquitous symbol adopted by charismatic Christians to exhibit their fa…

Capricology Week 5: Fathers, Funerals, and the Ethics of Gaming

By Henry Jenkins

…with free will (though this may still be an illusion of free will, as the code for the game is likely to be quite deterministic). Since she is the only one in the game that suffers pain but no death, it will be interesting to see the evolution of her ethical code within the virtual world. The transformation of Tamara from a helpless lost soul to a gun-toting avenger sets up the stage for her probable showdown with Zoe—a continuation of Adama-Gray…

Conservative Military Chaplains Fight Repeal of DADT

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…en.” In the military, the answer is quite clear: they are to obey military code, period. Otherwise, they won’t remain military chaplains for long. If President Obama makes good on his promise to repeal Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, a group of conservative Christian chaplains expressed their fear in a letter to the president and Defense Secretary Robert Gates that they’ll “face a reduction in the free exercise of their faith.” The chaplains use the letter…
