What Does Heidegger’s Anti-Semitism Mean for Jewish Philosophy?

By Aubrey L. Glazer

…always remains before us. Why does it seem that the most rigorous thinkers today engaged in the philosophical theological questions you are grappling with are either from France or Germany rather than America? There are some important American thinkers engaged in this book, although you are correct that the core of the book deals with European thinkers, who wrote in German and French. On the most elemental level, my philosophical training was prim…

Will Sisters Save the Catholic Church?

By Mary E. Hunt

…cism as a cultural given is coming to an end. The Roman Catholic Church of Germany is on the skids. Revelations of abuses in Catholic institutions are coming thick and fast. Ironically, one of the actors who plays Jesus in the once-a-decade Passion Play at Oberammergau this year has “researched the bureaucratic steps needed to leave the church officially last year.” ‘Jesus’ leaving the Church; a Saturday Night Live moment for sure! In developing c…

Rarefied Islamophobia: When Americans Duplicate the European Cultural Talk

By Jocelyne Cesari

…xperience of many Muslims in Europe. An understanding of Muslims in Europe today cannot be achieved through facile analyses of a monolithic Islam; but instead in the unpacking of several important assertions that tend to conflate Islam, immigration, and socio-economic issues. As mentioned above, most Muslims in Europe are immigrants, but the opposite is not true. Although immigrants arrive in Europe from all over the world, the countries with exis…

Sacred Real Estate: What Makes Washington’s WWII Memorial So Dreadful?

By Michael A. Elliott

…o World War II, and of the eventual victory of the Allies over the Axis of Germany and Japan. But for most Americans on December 7, 1941, none of those things were evident. I was thinking about my grandfather and his football game earlier this month, when I walked, for the first time, through the World War II Memorial on the National Mall in Washington. Dedicated in 2004, the Memorial is a broad plaza of fountains, pillars, and sculpted wreaths. I…

The Most Religious Race: Islam in Europe

By Haroon Moghul

…visited a comparable level of death and destruction on Algeria as affected Germany in World War II. This fact could explain why so many Algerians were so eager to get out of Algeria, if Caldwell only bothered to share it. But in the service of communicating a deep cultural unease with rapid social change, Caldwell has attempted to provide a veneer of neutral correctness (he has, in effect, internalized the multiculturalism he professes to so detes…

Ten Commandments of the Antichrist: The Georgia Guidestones

By Joseph Laycock

…Fendley were accused of perpetuating a hoax, either out of amusement or to promote Fendley’s business. Both men took lie detector tests, which they passed. Sullivan suggests that the hoax rumor may have come from rival granite workers. According to Jim Miles (author of Weird Georgia), shortly after the Guidestones were unveiled, a local minister stated his suspicion that “Mr. Christian is not a Christian” and that the monument was designed for the…

Training God’s Rottweiler: Catholic Church Sexual Abuse Must End

By Anthea Butler

…hope in reviving the Church. Recent news of sexual abuse cases in Ireland, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, and the Netherlands suggest that much like the scandal uncovered by the Globe reporters, the roots are deep, the crimes unimaginable, the secrecy and subversion of blame epidemic. The Pope’s brother even admitted to slapping children, though not molesting them. As Andrew Sullivan remarked in a recent blog post, “what’s staggering to me is the…

Sex Work: In Bed with the Religious Right

By Dagmar Herzog

…my prior book, Sex after Fascism: Memory and Morality in Twentieth-Century Germany (2005), which offered a major revision of our assumptions about the Third Reich’s sexual politics and its aftermath, including close attention to the complicity of the Christian churches under Nazism. In his book American Fascists, Chris Hedges had drawn direct parallels between the religious right in the United States and the Nazis, but I thought that was not the p…

What in the Name of the Crusades are Tennessee Evangelicals Doing in Kurdish Iraq?

By Bill Berkowitz

…as widened its presence, establishing bases in Turkey, Liberia, Indonesia, Germany, and Norway. Can you describe how Servant Group International operates? What is especially distinctive about SGI—and its partners—is its development of a military model of evangelism (‘spiritual warfare’), which includes covert action tactics (‘tentmaking’), intelligence gathering (‘spiritual mapping’). They have an ingrained animosity to Islam, and their Dominionis…

Overture To Catholics, From an Episcopal Priest

By Randall Balmer

…it seems, carries fresh disclosures about priestly pedophilia in Ireland, Germany, and (most appallingly) at a Catholic school for the deaf in Wisconsin. Sadly enough, priestly pedophilia is old news by now. What’s new, in the opening of court documents that the Vatican sought desperately to suppress, is that the Catholic hierarchy stubbornly refused to deal with these cases in a way that would protect children against further abuse by predatory…
