How to Meet Muslims: A (Cinematic) Primer

By Haroon Moghul

…ome of the issues that bind Muslims together or drive them apart, striking questions which anyone open to the breadth of human experience can relate to. These films do their best to show the beautiful and the terrible in the incredibly diverse and often traumatized peoples and societies of the Muslim world; in the case of the three American movies, they show both the differences and similarities of the immigrant experience and the need to find ech…

Evangelicals in Moral Panic Over Exvangelicals

By Chrissy Stroop

…s one of the evangelical leaders giving voice to a but-for-the-grace-of-God-I-could-be-an-exvangelical sentiment. In fairness, Moore gives “the children” some credit in his lament on exvangelicals, agreeing that there is much hypocrisy in evangelicalism worth criticizing before coming to the nonsense conclusion that “We are losing a generation—not because they are secularists, but because they believe we are.” In late April, I responded to Moore’s…

Election Day: Hope, Heartbreak, Naiveté, and Studs Terkel

By The Editors

…o. The WPA provided jobs. We have got to get back to that. We need more reg-u-la-tion. Having watched Alan Greenspan’s recent testimony, Terkel also pointed out that “he’s an idiot, and by the way, so was Ayn Rand!” Terkel’s death just before the election of America’s first African-American president: God as trickster? David Sorkin: Rescuing Toleration? The presidential election is turning into a referendum on toleration. Colin Powell pointed th…

Feared Taliban Leader Killed, But Military Strategy is Not the Answer in Afghanistan

By Mark Juergensmeyer

…s have made alliances with the Punjab-based militant groups such as Lashkar-e-Taiba (connected with Kashmir insurgency and accused of the Mumbai attacks). But there are many branches that reject this jihadi ideology. Even within the more moderate religious groups there is a great deal of diversity. Besides Shia and Sunni streams, there is a long tradition of Sufi practices in the subcontinent. Within the Sunnis there are differences between the De…

DREAMing of Faith

By Sarah Posner

…f “people of faith” more complex than the rather obvious statements of well-known religious leaders? A new Washington Post poll finds that 70% of white evangelicals support open service by gays and lesbians in the military (although this poll shows a wide differential from a Pew poll which found only 43% of white evangelicals support open service). Still, though, there are plenty of religious people and religious leaders who support repealing DADT…

Battle of Antisemitism Definitions is Actually a Proxy War For Criticism of Israel

By Joshua Shanes

…harge. The JDA addresses this and other problems with specific examples of common anti-Israel rhetoric that crosses the line to antisemitism and specific examples of common rhetoric or actions (e.g. boycott) that do not. The list of signatures and subsequent endorsements is impressive, although there has been heated pushback by those who insist that the IHRA definition must be maintained. Indeed, one respondent—David Hirsh, author of Contemporary…

Republican Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith Spouts Christian Nationalism Defending Racist Voter Suppression

By Andrew L. Seidel

…” initiatives historically used by Black churches to get out the vote. Hyde-Smith, the latest in a long and shameful line of senators from Mississippi—including mediocrities such as Theodore Bilbo and James Vardaman—rose to defend the measure that seeks to make it harder for people to vote if they don’t look like her. And she turned to a Christian Nationalist motto and the Bible to justify her defense of disenfranchisement. “Georgia is a Southern…

Is the Prochoice Religious Community a Sleeping Giant?

By Frederick Clarkson

…ction cycles. But there’s no analogous sustained organizing in the moderate-to-liberal religious community with the broad political and electoral vision and ongoing development of related skills and practices that define the Christian Right. But there could be. Some may argue that a religious prochoice political movement would be little more than a funhouse mirror of the Christian Right and the institutions that undergird it. That would be a good…

Pentagon Report Rejects Religious Right Arguments On DADT

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…at those with divergent religious views are already serving compatibly side-by-side. Adding homosexuality to the mix should cause no new problems: However, the reality is that in today’s U.S. military, people of sharply different moral values and religious convictions – including those who believe that abortion is murder and those who do not, and those who believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God and those who do not – and those who have no religiou…

Good News Bad News

By Amina Wadud

…specific duration. Indonesia renders a 30-day visa upon arrival—and so a 30-day visa, a 14-day visa, etc., could be standard, then used according to people’s actual date of arrival. Anyway, I digress. I told them that whenever they began the processing I would FedEx my passport back to them for processing. Travel is my life and I needed my passport back. Just having it sit in their office when I could be using it was not the right fit for me. So t…
