The Deadly Burqini, Or, What Exactly is an “Islamic Swimsuit”?

By Shabana Mir

…n Oklahoma). Women stay home and forget about getting their exercise. Was that what y’all wanted? Stay away from the good Christian-secular pools? The woman prevented from swimming may have an argument when she argues that this is simply segregation. Strictly speaking, the liberators of Muslim women ought to jump up and down in joy if these oppressed women make it as far as a co-ed public pool. They’ll get some exercise; they’ll spend some time de…

The Theological Hijacking of Religious “Freedom”

By Timothy K. Snyder

…y to continue. The idea that one’s conscience should never be challenged, that its freedom is a freedom from an other may benefit from recent legal actions, but it will not support the common good.

…s, exemptions from minimum wage laws, laws requiring LGBT equal treatment, or any other law to which a person (or a corporation) makes a free exercise claim will hang on whether the state can make a convincing case that it has a compelling interest that it cannot achieve in another way. Since “compelling” is a subjective standard, it’s likely to skew toward the interests of the majority and against those of minorities….

By PRA Staff

…ia’s transfer of power away from the communist government, Caner tells us that what the “communist government did not expect was the sovereignty of God and the providence of his people.” Caner also shares his parenting principles: life over death; liberty over authority; nationalism over globalism; American exceptionalism; capitalism over socialism; defense over passivism.

…sons” and, on the other, “the right of all persons to exercise fundamental freedoms,” including the free exercise of religion.

Stem Cell Chronicles: Why Politics and Science Most Certainly Should Not Be Separated

By Louis A. Ruprecht

…commitments. The lifting of the ban was a crucial moment in the defense of free speech and the exercise of free expression, said the President. This kind rhetoric is maddening to conservatives and rightly so; it places their moral concerns on a back burner, by suggesting that the articulation of such concern makes one anti-scientific. Don’t get me wrong: President Obama is surely right to announce, and in bold terms, that the nightmarish condition…

Who’s to Blame for BP?

By David True

…whether we have finally woken up from our dream of perpetually cheap oil, free of all cost, free of all sacrifice. And yet the events in the Gulf call out for confession, for corporate confession and repentance. By corporate I mean BP, of course, but even more importantly I mean our society as a corporate whole.

By Andrew L. Seidel

…lize thought (potentially condoning slavery and the treatment of women as chattel as it does so). Instead of spending time paring down what they claim is the holy word of their god to conform with modern morality, Walters and Olsen would do far better to read Thomas Jefferson’s Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom, which we celebrate in just a few days. In it, Jefferson slams “the impious presumption of legislators and rulers … who, being themse…
