By Randall Balmer

…ed in greater numbers in the nineteenth century, from places like Ireland, Germany, and Italy. As with other groups, finding their place in the rich tapestry of American diversity did not always come easy.

Case Against Church-State Separation From Unlikely Source

By Peter Laarman

…ges that in plumping for faith-based initiatives, he is also recycling and promoting ideas from his 2009 book, God’s Economy, which embraced the theory of the Bush initiative.

…captivating essays, each devoted to places like Greece, Ireland, Iceland, Germany, and the United States. His descriptions of how the crisis unfolded differently in different places are powerful, easily digestible, and deeply aggravating.

Will Istanbul Ever Be a Part of the European Union?

…and Turkey clears its hurdles, this country may well be more populous than Germany, making it the largest in the EU. Would Europe be okay with that? The Turks I’ve talked to so far, an admittedly small sample, generally feel Europe will accept them, because it must. Perhaps this is wishful thinking. But perhaps it’s something more: a feeling that they’re going somewhere good, and everyone will have to deal with that reality. How can Turkey not,…

By Sarah Posner

…sed last year while helping Ralph Reed promote the launch of his Faith and Freedom Coalition). In a nutshell: America should be ruled by God, not government, with no abortion, gay marriage, or jurisprudence Robison disagrees with; the market should be kept “free, healthy, and under the influence of people who understand that importance of personal responsibility,” as “out of control spending” and “intrusive regulation” are “as wrong and immoral an…

Afterward, al-Ghannouchi told al-Jazeera TV that Tunisia had found a “third way”; not one of authoritarianism or violent extremism but one of “brotherhood, justice, freedom, equality, humanity.” Tunisia’s role in the broader events of the Middle East was identified early on by Mohamm…
