Is Religious Freedom a Casualty at Ground Zero?

By Kambiz GhaneaBassiri

…the New York YMCA and Jewish Community Center, is a continuation of century-old efforts at community building and an attempt to represent Islam in lower Manhattan as American Muslims have understood and experienced it rather than through the actions of terrorists. The decision to allow the building of the mosques and community center is yet another episode in American history that moves us closer to the realization of our nation’s founding ideal o…

Huckabee Says Obama is “Pretending to Be a Christian”

By Carlos Wilton

…mmitted relationships to marry. When President Obama invited a few marriage-equality activists, including gay Episcopal Bishop Gene Robinson, to be part of the large crowd that greeted Pope Francis, the proverbial smoke started emerging from Mr. Huckabee’s ears (I swear I heard it, over the radio). Pope Francis—he of the beneficent “Who am I to judge?” remark—did not appear to have a problem with the President’s guest list (although Vatican functi…

Forget Debates and Dialogue about LGBT Justice, the Religious Right isn’t Listening

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…LGBT community? Behind the Koch brothers and the WalMart folks and the Chic-fil-A’s—these guys who are funding the religious right, that’s their goal—to protect their money from being too generous with the poor. It’s the fundamentalists themselves who are leading the movement. None of them is particularly rich. Pat Robertson is phenomenally rich, but Jerry Falwell never made much money to speak of, and [James] Dobson never lived high on the hog. T…

How Hell Has Shaped America

By Kathryn Gin Lum

…ill save humanity. My next project investigates the origins of this belief and its connections to the Protestantism that has long dominated the American landscape. I return to the nineteenth century, when many Euro-Americans believed that technology and Protestant commitment went hand-in-hand, and hoped that both would save the world. I am interested in how technology became a marker of religious difference, defining the “progressive Protestant” a…

Catholic Citizenship: Massimo Faggioli on the Role of Public Theologians Today

By Kaya Oakes

…forgotten and neglected an important part of the Vatican II message.” His new book, and his additional role as a public theologian writing for Commonweal, La Croix International, and speaking both across the U.S. and abroad, is an attempt to reclaim and reframe that message.

Discovery Institute’s Bill Dembski Recants

By Lauri Lebo

…, learned of Dembski’s statements, he called him into a meeting with other high-ranking officials. According to the Baptist Witness: At that meeting, Dembski was quick to admit that he was wrong about the flood, Patterson said. “Had I had any inkling that Dr. Dembski was actually denying the absolute trustworthiness of the Bible, then that would have, of course, ended his relationship with the school,” he said. In response to the meeting, Dembski…

Nonviolence, Muslim Style: From Ghaffar Khan to Tahrir Square

By Eric Stoner

…tion, The Progressive’s managing editor Amitabh Pal joked that it made his new book, “Islam” Means Peace: Understanding the Muslim Principle of Nonviolence Today, both “more topical and dated at the same time.” While many books will no doubt be written about the momentous events that are unfolding in the Middle East, many of them will doubtless leave out the prehistory. By exploring the rich tradition of nonviolent resistance in the Muslim world…

An American and a Muslim: Reading Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf

By Sarah Eltantawi

…ake them complementary. He argues that the United States is more “shari’ah compliant” than many Muslim-majority countries, not least because freedom of religion is guaranteed. Despite the western media’s flattening of shari’ah to not much more than an alarm, Abdul-Rauf brings to the concept evidence of classical training and attitudes. For Rauf, like halakha in the Jewish tradition, shari’ah is a way of life that is protected by Constitutional gua…

Spiritual-Not-Religious or Just Lazy?

By Kate Blanchard

…dog provides an opportunity to think about prejudice that perpetuates an us-vs.-them mentality. A memoir about often being the new kid in school causes her to consider the radical teachings of Jesus about whom it’s acceptable to eat with. A connection to an ancestor on the Mayflower provides fodder for thought about immigration in the 21st century. Perhaps the most powerful chapter is a meditation on teaching a class among prisoners at Sing Sing….

An Agnostic Biography of the Prophet Muhammad

By Lesley Hazleton

…ave a specific audience in mind? It kind of hurts to think of intelligent, open-minded readers as a specific audience… Are you hoping to just inform readers? Give them pleasure? Piss them off? Far more than inform! The pleasure for me lies in the “aha!” of understanding, of grasping the richness of reality, with all its uncertainties and dilemmas. It’s in the practice of empathy—not sympathy, but empathy, which is the good-faith attempt to underst…
