But, someday, soon… We will not confuse competency in one’s chosen field with lesbianism—not a soccer field, not a…

Egypt and the Problem of Religion

By Asma Afsaruddin

…Can both sides be right or wrong at the same time? It is clear that political allegiances are driving the current situation in Egypt, even though such allegiances are frequently cloaked in highly emotive religious idiom.

It wouldn’t be especially egregious were it not for the frequent complaints by non-believers and believers alike that “creation scientist” is an oxymoron.

By SJ Crasnow

…ountry.” White Jews function in this mythology as the politically and economically powerful traitors behind inclusive immigration policy and who therefore undermine the white nation (constructed as Christian, patriarchal, hetero/cissexist, ableist, and so on). Given this history, there’s a clear connection to recent accusations that George Soros, a progressive Jewish billionaire, funded the migrant caravan to the U.S. comprised of Central American…
