Only good can come of this. Khutzpah: ‘Can you believe the Imam went on and on for 45 minutes in his Friday sermon (Khutbah)? How’s he not dying of thirst?’ 1.

When Is Hosni Mubarak?

By Haroon Moghul

…vernment, perhaps a unity coalition guaranteed by the military, leading to free and fair elections after the shortest time possible within which campaigning can be organized. This requires all the stakeholders on the ground, who are not representatives of the dictatorship, to come to the table, and to receive guarantees both from one another but also from regional powers who can help nudge the process forward. The military has won itself a seat at…

Is There Anyone in the Press Who Can Recognize the Bad Faith in Evangelical Faith?

By John Stoehr

…rapple with Herschel Walker’s controversial image.” “Grapple” connotes soul-searching, but the interview subject, Timothy Head of the Faith & Freedom Coalition, didn’t seem as vexed by the choice as much as he was vexed by press corps’ scrutiny of it. NPR clearly doesn’t have anyone in a key position who was born into, but left, an ultra-conservative religious tradition. If it did, the radio network wouldn’t have given Head a chance to explain why…

“I’m a Creationist,” Says Former Times Tech Writer, Heffernan

By Michael Schulson

…tories she knew. “I was…considerably less amused and moved by the character-free Big Bang story (‘something exploded’) than by the twisted and picturesque misadventures of Eve and Adam and Cain and Abel and Abraham,” she writes. Because she doesn’t really understand evolution, and because she finds the Biblical account so much more compelling, Heffernan opts for creationism. The outrage from science-minded writers isn’t surprising. What’s unfortu…

Why So Many American Christians Don’t Understand Protest

By Leah Pannell

…rd to the Colin Kaepernick controversy. The sentiment of so many people I knew was that these protests—against black death, for black life, for justice and freedom for all people—were disrespectful, disruptive. They shouldn’t inconvenience others by blocking interstates, interrupting games. Yet in Luke 4, Jesus stood in the synagogue, echoed the words of the prophet Isaiah that the oppressed shall be free, and proceeded to be disruptive. In respon…

Global LGBT Recap: Asylum for Victims of Homophobia Exports; Orthodox Church Sees Anti-Gay Campaign Turned Toward Itself

By Peter Montgomery

…ct every human being. It is only natural that such a reminder will exist in Tel Aviv-Yafo – a city that warmly embraces all groups and minorities.” Haaretz reported last month on the construction of the memorial park. Hong Kong: Polls Show Widespread Support for LGBT Rights, Not Marriage Equality Researchers from the University of Hong Kong released polling data that showed strong public support for moves toward greater LGBT equality, but only…

Day of (Anti-Bullying) Silence Shows “Pro-Family” Activists to be Anti-Gay Bullies

By Julie Ingersoll

…ool funding is based on attendance, they advocated keeping students out of the classroom for the explicit purpose costing the school money to “prevent the Day of Silence” and/or “punish” school administrators that “allow” students to remain silent. Calling the event an “immoral takeover” and “in-your-face sexual indoctrination,” SaveCalifornia claims that some students (being allowed to) keep silent for all or part of the day “make it difficult fo…

When Religion is a Refuge for Scoundrels: ‘Ryan Budget’ Edition

By Daniel C. Maguire

…with public funds” when necessary. It excoriates “neoliberalism,” the greed-is-good creed of the right wing. Maggie Thatcher used it, and when she entered office 1 out of 10 Britons was in poverty; when she left, 1 out of every 4 (1 in 3 children) was impoverished. Reagan was married to it—as are his worshiping successors—and the 99% continue to lose while the 1% gorge and the economy sinks. It’s not complicated. It’s dumb. And, as the Vatican say…

ACLU and Thomas More Law Center Rush to Terry Jones Defense

By Lauri Lebo

…ning a Qu’ran, the Florida pastor decided last week to ride the wave of ill-gotten publicity by going to Dearborn, Michigan to protest outside the Islamic Center for America. But following a hearing Friday in Wayne County, Jones was arrested and put in jail for refusing to post a $1 “peace bond.” The judge issued the bond requirement to keep Jones from inciting a riot, I guess, by outraged Muslims. What’s most disturbing about the case was that Jo…

In a Time of Chaos and Misrule, Mardi Gras’ Subversive Message is Virtually Meaningless

By Ed Simon

…nsense of sense.” In this world of rigid social structures, carnival was a free-floating utopia, not of location but of duration, found not in a particular place but during a particular time. Carnival signified a subversive promise, a taste of the abolishment of those things which control our lives. Even death, the plague in the midst of the celebration, was to be mocked by the partygoers. Academic debate has long centered around how radical the c…
