By Sarah Posner

…Donnell has proved herself to be a sexual puritan, but the masturbation clip shouldn’t be re-told with too much glee about discovering “the crazy.” But does she still think women serving in Iraq or Afghanistan endanger our national security?

…rvival of Christian minorities in Muslim-majority countries like Pakistan, Iraq, and Egypt over recent months and years, but not every part of the world where Muslims and Christians live together is the same. I have lived in West Africa for nearly three decades and in Nigeria for eleven of those years.

…s revealed. Submissions had been anonymous up to that point, discussed and promoted by a jury selected to represent (some parts of) New York City. The excitement turns to tension, then to panic. The selected design has been produced by a Muslim, an American Muslim architect of some renown named Mohammed Khan, and the committee is flabbergasted.

Confounding political allies and opponents alike, he also remained an outspoken opponent of abortion and the death penalty. For these and other positions, Hatfield came under relentless attack by the Republican leadership.

Can Romney Win by Embracing his Mormon Masculinity?

By Joanna Brooks

…d back into the jobs crisis. Another came when he modestly suggested that those who vociferously support the troops should put their money where their mouths are. That’s right, everyone: freedom isn’t free. We’re all paying the tax bills for the Republican-declared wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
