By Dianne M. Stewart

…n people their own territory after having suffered 400 years of bondage in Egypt. Although that territory was already occupied, God authorized his chosen people to invade, rape, pillage, massacre and even commit genocide against their Baal-worshipping Canaanite neighbors. But rarely do I read any commentary about this narrative of terrorism in the Bible when perusing critical articles on white Christian supremacy. It’s like decrying the increased…

By Kristin Rawls

…fierce beatings at the hands of his brothers, who sold him into slavery in Egypt. That violence, Toscano continued, “is a part of the long history of oppression of gender non-conforming and transgender people by other people of faith.” “Who Drafted Me as a Gay Icon?” There were some jarring exceptions to the generally welcoming atmosphere of the festival. While helping set up his booth, Justin Lee of the Gay Christian Network was confronted by a m…

Can Islam Save The Economy?

There are some loose connections to radicalism. Sayyid Qutb, a hero of Osama bin Laden’s, was an early advocate.

…thy nor large. With the exception of some significant Greek communities in Egypt and South Africa (who are decidedly not in the market for a new Russian bishop), the relatively few African convert communities on the continent are neither financially affluent nor politically powerful—yet. Modern Russia also has designs on Africa, where it seeks to compete with China and the Western powers for influence on a continent of natural resources and growin…

America Appears to be Heading for a Religious Civil War

By Nilay Saiya

…ases of mass religious violence around the world in settings as diverse as Egypt, India, Myanmar, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. At first blush, it may seem that the United States shares little in common with these developing countries. Yet I have found unsettling similarities. In all these countries, the widespread adoption of a more militant approach stemmed centrally from fears that a historically and culturally dominant religious group was in danger…

S.O.S.

By Amina Wadud

…r plate to eat out of or off of are a minimal requirement. When I lived in Egypt, there was almost a second tier religious mandate to eat “ful mudamas” (fava beans) for suhur. The rationale was that it “lasted” longer in the stomach and I guess made you less hungry for the day long. Uh-Uh! This was NOT my cup of tea. I resorted to my good old American pastimes for the morning and accepted that in most cultures there is not a special breakfast food…

The “F” Word: Feminism in Islam

By Amina Wadud

…in the room, even if it is purple. This week a young feminist Muslim from Egypt is visiting in the Bay Area under a program from the US Department of State, called an “exchange.” But they don’t exchange, she said, they only tell us and tell us and tell us—as if Muslim women are clean slates that need to be informed by the likes of the state department. But it’s not just my young friend, but other fabulous Muslim women from Bahrain, Saudi Arabia,…

Which Side Are You On?

By Daniel Schultz

…meantime, the people are doing a pretty good job of getting ready to leave Egypt all on their own, and we’re stuck wondering why it is nobody thinks we’re relevant anymore. *Harold Meyerson calls Scott Walker “the cheddarhead pharaoh.” Update: No sooner have I spoken than a religious voice weighs in – on the side of the unions. Jerome Listecki, Archbishop of the Diocese of Milwaukee, says: “this much needed call for cooperation and communication b…

Introducing The Cubit, RD’s New Religion & Science Portal

By Andrew Aghapour and Michael Schulson

…between the elbow and the tip of the middle finger. Ancient China, ancient Egypt, the Roman Empire, and other cultures independently made the forearm a standard of measure. And why not? It’s convenient and ubiquitous. When you lift a hammer, it’s already sitting at the end of a cubit. We chose this humble unit for two reasons. First, the cubit is an intersection; it’s where the human body meets the material world. In the Bible, it’s where divine l…
