Secular End Times & Apocalyptic ‘Roosters’

By Gordon Haber

…odern Era, in Landes’ telling, brought the “four humiliations of modernity—Western superiority, Israel’s existence, women’s liberation, and globalization,” resulting in the bloody, triumphalist fantasies of apocalyptic jihad. While apocalyptic jihad does indeed pose a serious threat, Landes’ narrative reads like warmed-over Bernard Lewis. While we can’t completely dismiss this narrative (Christian apocalyptic texts, from Revelations to Left Behind…

Sin is Not a Crime: A Conversation with Patrick Cheng

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…s model—even though it’s ancient and in some ways even more beautiful than Western notions of sin and grace that we’ve inherited. Those in the moveable middle or a little bit to the right are longing for ways to heal themselves, and I think that this crime-based Augustinian model may have hurt them too. My experience has been that when these people hear this it opens their eyes in ways that is healing for them. They can be more compassionate to ot…

A Seminary for Nonbelievers: Is A. C. Grayling Creating His Own Religion?

By Jessica Weisberg

…ature, or philosophy. History students will have a course on the “birth of Western Christendom” and philosophy students may take an elective in “medieval philosophy,” but there is no religious studies department. There’s a required elective on “the nature of good and the good life.” The curriculum bypasses cultural history and postmodernism in favor of a more rigorous study of the classics. “My guess is that religion will be included in a similar…

Forward Christian Europe!

By Ludger Viefhues-Bailey

…he “Islamization of Europe” is a matter of life and death for European and Western civilization—especially those who argue that the culprits for this development are those who gave up Europe’s Christian character. The blogger Fjordman, for example (whom Breivik admiringly and extensively quotes) writes in a 2007 post for The Brussels Journal, “In more and more cities across the continent, non-Muslims are being harassed, robbed, mugged, raped, stab…

Breivik’s Manifesto on Islam vs. “Christendom” as “Demographic Warfare”

By Sarah Posner

…te scheme to feminise/pacify” European youth. “Multiculturalism is an anti-Western hate ideology aimed at undermining the indigenous peoples of Europe and destroying European civilisation and culture,” the manifesto reads. As a result of multiculturalism, Europe has few “cultural defenses,” writes Breivik, from “any force which would want to conquer us,” that is, Muslims. Thus, Breivik goes on, “the Islamic Ummah” is “currently colonising us, faci…

Ghana Moves to Arrest Gays and Lesbians

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…fear for their lives in Africa. According to news reports from Ghana, “the Western Region Minister Paul Evans Aidoo has ordered the immediate arrest of all homosexuals in the region.” The move comes after the Christian Council of Ghana released “a strongly worded message against the practice [of homosexuality] and courting Ghanaians not to vote for any politician who believes in the rights of homosexuals.” What moved the “Christian Council” to act…

The Right Wing Bible and the Politics of Impotence

By Christopher B. Hays

Like much of the Western world, I’ve watched the coverage of the uprisings in the Arab world with a mixture of awe and trepidation. Despite lingering questions about Egypt’s leadership, our hearts go out to common people around the world who assert that self-governance is a basic human right—particularly when they do so in a peaceful manner. The people have discovered the ability to see beyond the horizons of their present reality, and have taken…

Et Tu, Bibi?

By Sarah Posner

…Christians and usher in an Islamic caliphate.” As I’ve said before, Beck’s promotion of the caliphate paranoias is nothing new. Meanwhile, David Horowitz (whose “Islamofascism Awareness Weeks” on college campuses were agitating as early as 2007 about the supposed caliphate’s threats to Western Civilization and “Christendom“) is defending Beck. Just last year, at his Restoration Weekend, Horowitz’s Freedom Center hosted Christians United for Israel…

5 Reasons the Muslim Brotherhood Won’t Turn On Israel

By Haroon Moghul

…personally religious, proud to identify as an Egyptian, an Arab, and a Muslim. Because Egypt never went through the radical secularization that Turkey went through from the 1920s onward, it is unlikely Egypt will ever become that Westernized of a society, with such stark oppositions in public lifestyle between the religious and the non-religious. But Westernization is not a precondition for democracy, nor is there only one form of secularism in a…

Updated with Audio: Secular Good, Muslim Bad: Unveiling Tunisia’s Revolution

By Haroon Moghul

…expect it? It’s because of this mind-map: If an Arab/Muslim is culturally Western, he is naturally in favor of democracy; if culturally other, he is some kind of authoritarian. I’m saying this because of the New York Times’ coverage of Tunisia’s revolution, which expresses a deep concern for Tunisia’s “secularity,” a term that vexes me precisely for its imprecision. A secular Muslim society can be one whose government has no religion (in that sen…
