Cloverfield: Sin & Redemption, with Monsters

By Gabriel Mckee

…onds, people have lined up in front of it to take pictures with their cell phones. They’re distanced from what’s happening around them, oblivious to what it really means. Many reviewers have made the obvious connection to 9/11, and it’s certainly true that the monster’s initial rampage eerily evokes that day’s images. But there’s a deeper level to it. At one point, the characters are caught in the middle of a firefight between the monster and a Na…

Evangelicalism “Wasn’t Created for Someone Like Me”: Following a Queer Evangelical of Color in the Age of Trump

By Deborah Jian Lee

…n edited and condensed version of our conversations, which took place over phone and email. FEBRUARY 2017 Since the election, how has your relationship with white evangelicalism shifted? Sundays are hard. The last few months, as the temperature has turned up, I just get angry when sermons don’t address the injustice and violence in our country. I do not want to leave the first church that ever felt like a home to me. I’ve spent my entire Christian…

…for empathy and understanding one’s fellow human beings. 10. Darwin Tours Egypt In November, the British Council hosted the first Darwin conference in Egypt. The event was more significant for where it was held (in a conservative Muslim country where there is little teaching of evolutionary theory) than for what was discussed: Darwin and his legacy. Many of the 150 academics and college students who participated in the conference had little knowl…

Why Conservatives are Turning on Beck

By Sarah Posner

…Anthea put it yesterday, circling Beck like sharks? As I discussed as the Egypt news was breaking and Beck was jumping on the opportunity to link the Muslim Brotherhood to the grand socialist conspiracy, American conservatives have a long-standing affection for conspiracy theories surrounding the Muslim Brotherhood and its supposed plot to take over America with a “caliphate.” As Media Matters notes today, Beck shares a pundit with the “creeping…

Equal Protection of First Amendment

…e he tried to turn you away from the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. 11 Then all Israel will hear and be afraid, and no one among you will do such an evil thing again. 12 If you hear it said about one of the towns the LORD your God is giving you to live in 13 that wicked men have arisen among you and have led the people of their town astray, saying, “Let us go and worship other gods” (gods you have not know…

You Asked For It

By Amina Wadud

…More Muslims participate in the fast than any other ritual. Let’s get the numbers in our head then: of the 1.3 billion Muslims, if less than half are children and even children fast, then you could say almost a billion Muslims are fasting. I don’t think we can make a case about Ramadan and what ever number of incidents that might occur due to some individual Muslims. There is no statistical corollary between fasting, Islam, Muslims and the (still…

Interfaith: Whose Faith?

By Amina Wadud

…ve from Egypt. We were excited at first to take her to her first dhikr. In Egypt dhikr is mostly the territory of the men and in the mosque or open spaces. I’ve attended some in private homes for women, but she had not had an occasion to attend. Although nothing offensive was said or done, it was not a comfortable setting for my young friend. When you enter into the scared space of another there can be little expectation save that the events that…

…rk here, but it is pretty comprehensive. In 1982 I tried to make hajj from Egypt. I was barred twice. And although I managed to get over the first two hurdles, I could not get over this, the third: woman, where’s your mahram? There are a few ways around this: legally Saudi women can get a permanent pass from their mahram which says they are permitted to travel. And they do, as much as anyone who has the means to travel. With regard to hajj or umra…

What Does Anti-Christian Even Mean?

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…ructs: “Do not mistreat or oppress a foreigner, for you were foreigners in Egypt.” Leviticus 19:34 is even more direct: “The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.” 4. Ongoing wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. So much for “blessed are the peacemakers” (Matthew 5:9) or Jesus’ admonishment to “Put your sword back in its place, for all who draw the…
