Conservative Republican Muslim Condemns Fox Report on Congressional Staffers as “Anti-Muslim Bigotry”

By Sarah Posner

…r information that is critical of Muslims and Muslim-Americans getting involved in public policy. They compile that into a guilt-by-association Powerpoint and then shop it to reporters.” These individuals include, said Khan, Frank Gaffney, who issues baseless warnings to members of Congress about “creeping shari’ah;” Paul Sperry, co-author of the book Muslim Mafia, which claimed that the Council on American Islamic Relations had infiltrated Capito…

8 Great Hanukkah Clips from TV

By Michael J. Altman

Note: The second clip below (it may be after the jump depending on how you got to this post) begins playing automatically. You may want to pause it before reading and enjoying the videos. — eds. Most articles during the course of Hanukkah’s 8 days will remind you about the holiday’s history or, perhaps, relate stories about how various communities are celebrating. Not being Jewish and growing up in the Bible belt, everything I learned about Hanuk…

War on Christmas, War on Schmistmas, Happy Holiday

By Julie Ingersoll

Today I told someone I won’t see again until the first of the year that I hoped he would have a happy holiday. This genuinely warm wish generated an unsettling response in which I was accused of participating in a “war on Christmas” in favor of “political correctness.” For the record, I am in no “war on Christmas.” I am not a Christian and have no desire to regulate how Christians celebrate this holiday. Nor have I engaged in any effort to limit…

A Meditation on Shopping and Desire

By Michelle Gonzalez Maldonado

…d to shop and told that filling our shopping carts will be our country’s salvation. The very shopping that put individuals and families spiraling into debt is now being celebrated once again. While last year was the year of reserve and frugality, we are now back where we belong: in the season of spending. While not reviving the post-September 11 rhetoric of shopping as an act of nationalism, we are once again being encouraged to spend—and told tha…

Atheists and Christians Compete to Give More

By Lauri Lebo

I get so weary of hearing that unless someone believes in a being who will condemn them to Hell if they don’t behave, they can’t possibly be a good person. It seems to never end, this debate over who is more moral—Christians or those who don’t believe in God. But you know, if atheists and Christians are going to brawl, at least they should brawl over something that actually makes the world a little bit better of a place. Which is why I get a kick…

High School Senior Leads Effort to Repeal Louisiana Anti-Evolution Law

By Lauri Lebo

I’ve long had a soft spot for young people standing up to religious bullying. So I want to give a shout out to Zack Kopplin, a Baton Rouge Magnet High School Senior. Kopplin is leading a campaign to repeal the stealth creationist law that is the 2008 Louisiana Science Eduction Act. In December, Kopplin stood up to the Louisiana Family Forum, a Christian organization that had been trying to get creationist-language inserted into state public schoo…

Coming Out on a Christian Campus, Then and Now

By Ed Madden

…ing finding ourselves in a world in which something fundamental about ourselves is a category of silence at best, more likely a category of condemnation and stigmatization. I have no doubt that many find themselves coming to sexual awareness at Harding, as I did, or they hope and pray that Harding and its culture will, in some way, cure them—something I had also hoped. Self-awareness is difficult at Harding, coming out well-nigh impossible. It’s i…

Judgment Day is Coming; Wear Clean Underwear

By Lauri Lebo

I last wrote about the End of the World in July, so I thought it was time for an update. Apparently, it’s still scheduled for May 21. Actually, May 21 isn’t technically the end of the world. Rather, it’s the Day of Rapture, when the righteous are magically taken up to heaven. Which also means, as anyone who has read the Left Behind series knows, that suddenly pilotless planes will fall from the sky and driverless cars will crash. So folks might w…

Tokyo Governor Says Tsunami is Divine Punishment—Religious Groups Ignore Him

By Levi McLaughlin

…t,” and they inspire thousands of clergy and lay adherents to devote themselves to the this-worldly and transcendent salvation of suffering people. More generally, the spirit of community, resilience, and an obstinate refusal to give up in the face of adversity speaks to the country’s legacy of self-cultivation, communitarianism, and self-sacrifice in the interest of social improvement—all qualities that can be characterized as “religious.” It is…
