Did SCOTUS Just Restore Sanity to Religious Liberty Debate?

By Patricia Miller

…el Alito, who questioned the need for such laws and called it an “ominous” sign for religious liberty: There are strong reasons to doubt whether the regulations were adopted for—or that they actually serve—any legitimate purpose. And there is much evidence that the impetus for the adoption of the regulations was hostility to pharmacists whose religious beliefs regarding abortion and contraception are out of step with prevailing opinion in the Stat…

U.S. Religious Right Groups Support Move Toward ‘Illiberalism’ of Hungary and Poland; and More in Global LGBT Recap

By Peter Montgomery

…lam by luring them into bed. The stories claimed he made the four-fingered sign of the Muslim Brotherhood during sex, like a religious form of fisting. The allegations are often ludicrous. But the arrests of LGBTQ people lend legitimacy to the regime’s other repressive measures. The tortured bodies of trans women and gay men cement the dictatorship’s bloody but insecure foundations. Romania: U.S. Religious Right Groups Back ‘Illiberal’ Path A plan…

Better Dead Than ‘Fed’: Behind Palin’s Dig at ‘Unbiblical’ Fed

By Julie Ingersoll

…legitimately held by civil government (because God didn’t grant it) and it promotes inflation, which he says is nothing more than theft from those who are not in debt in favor of those who are. Many of North’s works are popularly accessible and have made their way into fundamentalist church Bible studies, as well as homeschool and Christian school curriculum. He lectures on these issues at American Vision’s annual Worldview Super Conferences and h…

In Trump Era, Young Muslims Question Respectability Politics of Mosques

By Hebah H. Farrag

…he also feels a growing sense of frustration with the Muslim community. “I signed that letter because it’s a step forward,” Aly said. “But the letter just focuses on Muslim issues, and at this point, we don’t need to have 400 people sign one letter. We need 400 letters—you know what I mean? We are not one voice, we are not a monolith.” Given the demographics of American Muslims, the most diverse faith community in the nation, it might seem natural…

Missing the Anger for the Shoes

By Hussein Rashid

…rd to understand? Do we as Americans treat having a shoe thrown at us as a sign of happiness or joy? We have become so conditioned to seeing Arabs and Muslims as the “Other” that we have to process simple human emotion through a filter that makes that emotion foreign. The shoe is constructed in a culturally different way amongst Arabs than among non-Arabs. Maybe. Maybe not. Does it actually have any relevance to this argument? Now Iraqis are throw…

We Were Here Before September 11th

By Amina Wadud

…ize African-American Muslims, no matter how long we’ve practiced. I once designed a tee-shirt slogan to say: “Muslim by choice American by force.” When I described this at a luncheon table at this fancy-shmancy Islam and America conference in Qatar, a white guy at my table said, “That’s ridiculous. No one is American by force.” I said, “Well, now that is interesting. What about generations of slaves? There was no sign over the port when slave ship…

Muslims Are Not the Only Group Endangered By Hate

By Shabana Mir

…hers, there’s not enough left for them. So one group may think it’s a good sign for their survival when another group gets branded. But the targeting of one group is merely a sign that the disease is spreading across the bodypolitic. It’s a matter of time before it reaches you. The European right-wing trend of hatred, rejection, and xenophobia threatens to sweep entire societies into its dark embrace. Non-Whites, non-Christians, and non-nationals…

End of the World: An Update

By Lauri Lebo

…interviewed Marie Exley, an unemployed woman who paid $1,200 to put up the sign on a park bench, alerting the people along the 10 Springs bus route that Christ will return May 21, 2011. The sign doesn’t say it, but the web site that it refers to let’s us know that Oct. 21, 2011 will be the day “when He will destroy the world and all that is therein.” At the end of the article, there is what may be the saddest quote I have ever read in a news story…

Renovating Marriage, One Gay Couple at a Time

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…nd neighborhoods. The turnaround was so astounding that one year, the best sign at Atlanta’s gay pride read: “We can rehab marriage and sell it back to you at twice the price.” Seems that sign was a bit prescient. As more and more states accept same-sex marriage, researchers are showing that gays and lesbians have much to teach their straight counterparts about the institution they have been bogarting for the last few centuries. As Liz Mundy recal…

Op-Ed: A Few Things I Wish Barack Obama Had Said

By Garret Keizer

…says in the Bible that “a wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign.” What do we say of a generation that sees a sign of shallowness in the ability to construct a graceful English sentence? If a person moved by my rhetoric is gullible, then what of the person who was similarly moved by the rhetoric of Patrick Henry, Martin Luther King, or the Prophet Isaiah? I don’t presume to put myself in their league, but shame on anyone who presume…
