By Peter Montgomery

…raQueer, that operates underground. He hopes the aftermath of the Orlando killing will generate more international support for LGBT communities that face official and unofficial violence every day: “Although what happened there is a terrible tragedy and we all need to react as global citizens to make sure that such violence and racist actions don’t occur again, it is also important to reflect on the fact that we are being selective in showing soli…

It’s Not Raining Eligible Muslim Men

By Shabana Mir

…it will be interesting to see how their children are raised, and how this will affect their children’s identities. It will be interesting to see how this changes the face of the community in the United States. For the record, I do not feel that marriage outside the faith is an ideal solution for most religious individuals.

By Bruce Wilson

…ns the first in a series that its producers assert has brought to tens of millions, even hundreds of millions, the doctrine that Christians can create a utopia on Earth by driving out territorial demon spirits and alleged witches with the power of massed prayer. The exposure brought Thomas Muthee global fame. Transformations I was released in 1999. The same year, it reached the members of a Mat-Su Valley, Alaska, church network (the Valley Pastors…

By Frederick Clarkson

…fur, where most Darfuri people are Muslims, the Khartoum regime has shown willingness to kill Muslims; so it is obviously not just a matter of Islamic religion. The Khartoum regime is led by individuals who are Arabs and who are indicted war criminals, and who have a record of oppressing black people, whatever religions we take. But the Khartoum regime does not speak for all Arabs, any more than they speak for [all] Muslims. As Chairman of Interfa…

By Peter Montgomery

…e venue was surrounded by about 200 members of far-right groups shouting “kill, kill, kill.” There seems to have been resistance from a number of quarters to the planned event, including from the Lviv Eparchy of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church under the Moscow Patriarchate. It was probably unfortunate timing that the festival was planned during Lent, however Bishop Filaret’s strong language about ‘sinners’ makes it clear that his objections were not…

The Atheist Encounter with Christianity: A Failure to Disbelieve?

By Paul Wallace

…But what outcome is this that is probably already decided? That “science will win” and “religion will lose”? Unless I am wildly mistaken, that is the subtext of the remark. I suspect the war, to employ the writer’s hawkish language, will not work out that simply. I think the science and religion will come to coexist peacefully, just as they do in the minds of so many. Christianity, like other great faith traditions, is not easily done away with….

…rican sympathizers’ have been labeled traitors, imprisoned, tortured, and killed.” At home, Obama directed U.S. intelligence services “to cease all wiretapping of alleged terrorist phone calls unless they first obtained a specific court warrant for each case.” Captured overseas terrorists are no longer given military tribunals but are “now given full trials in the U.S. court system.” The relaxing of the Bush Administration’s rules of engagement wi…

By Mark Juergensmeyer

…nt resistence may lead to a violent backlash once again. Not all protests will end like Tunisia and Egypt. Others will be ruthlessly crushed, as was the Green Revolution in Iran in 2009. The current protests in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and Libya face an uncertain end. Failure of nonviolent revolution has, in the past, been the occasion for renewed acts of violence. So the jihadi warriors may again have their day. For the moment, however, bin Laden i…

Just Like January 6, One of the Most Disturbing Aspects of the Right-Wing Coup Attempt in Germany is Who Was Behind It

By Annika Brockschmidt

…tails ties to the Reichsbürger milieu. Experts attribute the stark rise in numbers to a heightened awareness and the agencies’ attempts to reduce the number of unreported cases. The conservative Minister of the interior of the previous Merkel administration, Horst Seehofer, had always refused to conduct a study of right-wing sentiments in the police and military, in spite of the warnings of social scientists who urged him to commission one.
