The Myth of the ‘Lone Wolf’ Terrorist Continues with New Zealand Attack

…tween Tarrant and the Norwegian terrorist Andres Breivik is relevant for a number of reasons. Like Breivik, Tarrant was part of a wider subculture of hatred. He likely thought of himself not as a terrorist but as a soldier in a great and hidden war, carrying out a mission on behalf of an imagined constituency of supporters. Like Breivik, he dressed up in military garb with militant patches—in Tarrant’s case he wore the symbol of the Azov Battalion…

4 (or 5) American Muslims For Ben Carson to Interrogate

…e’s qualified to sit down with Vladimir Putin to discuss the occupation of Ukraine, or Russian support for the brutal Assad regime, then certainly Carson won’t mind sitting across from some American Muslims and asking them to prove their loyalty. Given that we are several million, however, it wouldn’t make sense for him to interrogate every single one of us. So I’ve suggested some names, if only to get him started. If Carson’s willing to address t…

COVID-Denying Father Sergei is Just the Latest Example of the Russian Orthodox Church’s ‘Holy Man’ Problem

…an ad hoc personal army that includes veterans of the recent conflicts in Ukraine, seized control of the women’s monastery in the Ural mountains he’d founded. Now, he’s been excommunicated. But the story isn’t over. There’s plenty of reason to believe that the official Russian Orthodox Church won’t be able to rein him in, even now. The civil authorities have proven ineffective against him; a police visit to the monastery turned up no violations o…

Barr and Pompeo Speeches Show Why Evangelical Warriors Won’t Abandon the President

…reign policy in Turkey, much less his willingness to withhold aid from the Ukraine in order to garner an investigation into a political rival. These ideologies allow for the Kurds to be collateral damage in the larger cosmic war being fought by President Trump and his administration. As Robert Jeffress, one of the president’s trusted spiritual advisors and the pastor of a Dallas megachurch said, there is no way his decision on Syria will lead evan…

…have been Russia’s weapons of choice to project its power into neighboring Ukraine and Georgia, Mr. Putin has also mobilized faith to expand the country’s reach and influence. A fervent foe of homosexuality and any attempt to put individual rights above those of family, community or nation, the Russian Orthodox Church helps project Russia as the natural ally of all those who pine for a more secure, illiberal world free from the tradition-crushing…

Is ‘Western Self-Hatred’ the Problem in the Gaza War Protest Movement? 

…Israel with ammunition to bomb Gaza. And speakers also talked about Sudan, Ukraine, climate change, and the US military-industrial complex. In other words it became a protest of the Left. Gaza was the rallying cry, but the protest fanned out far beyond that conflict, which is becoming more common. Then there’s a recent piece in The Boston Globe, “Socialism’s at the Core of the Pro-Palestinian Movements’ Next Phase on College Campuses.” The report…

‘It’s Time to Defend our Children Outside of the Womb’: Pray Vote Stand Connects Anti-Abortion and Anti-Trans Messages

…ailure in US history which, as Chang confirms, encouraged Russia to invade Ukraine and has made China bolder in its threats to invade Taiwan. Youssef cheers the efforts of missionaries to convert Afghani civilians to Christianity in the two decades since the US invasion of Afghanistan, and argues forcefully for Christian Afghanis to be resettled and “assimilated” in the US—a paradoxical exception to the Right’s increasingly strident anti-immigrant…

Mennonite in a Midlife Crisis (of Faith)

…onite history is complicated by the fact that for centuries, many lived in Ukraine. Feeling a bit righteously selected to witness to the Russians and Jews, the Mennonites had an advantageous social standing to boot. Janzen illustrates her point with photos of wagons taken from a Mennonite pictorial history. Under the photos, the captions are some variant on the same theme: “A Mennonite covered wagon, unfamiliar among the Russians.” Only later, aft…

Scott Lively’s Crimes Against Humanity Aren’t Conservative Christian Outliers

…eople in places as far-flung as Latvia, Moldova, and (shocker!) Russia and Ukraine. So while Lively is spreading his hateful brand of Christianity abroad, Liberty Counsel and its contemporaries are working tirelessly to make sure this exclusionary model of faith remains at the forefront of American conversations about Christianity. Liberty Counsel—and, to a more insidious extent, more sophisticated groups like the Alliance Defending Freedom and Be…

A Reporter’s Guide to the New Apostolic Reformation

…ir multi-national, multi-racial and multi-ethnic character. That said, the numbers of nations and people that we mention are sourced solely on the claims of the groups themselves. We have no way to independently verify these numbers, so they should be used advisedly. Simply put, the global vision of the NAR is based on their understanding of the Great Commission text of Matthew 28:18-20, with an emphasis on “discipling nations” (28:19). Internatio…
