Profiling of Muslims Produced No Terror Leads, NYPD Concedes

By Sarah Posner

…as “rakers” overheard two Pakistani men complaining about airport security policies that they believed unfairly singled out Muslims. They bemoaned what they saw as the nation’s anti-Muslim sentiment since the 2001 terrorist attacks. Galati said police were allowed to collect that information because the men spoke Urdu, a fact that could help police find potential terrorists in the future. “I’m seeing Urdu.

Where Did White Evangelicalism’s Hatred of Critical Race Theory Really Begin?

By Andre E. Johnson

…cism in the present.” It’s often “portrayed as the basis of race-conscious policies, diversity trainings and education about racism, regardless of how much the academic concept actually affects those efforts.” But how did an academic theory, taught primarily to upper-division undergraduates and graduate students, about how racism has impacted the nation and world, become this iniquitous thing ‘ruining’ America? In a recent essay in the New Yorker,…

By Mark Juergensmeyer

…in some parts of the United States, over one-third of the opponents of the policies of President Barack Obama believe he is the Antichrist as characterized in the End-Times Rapture scenario.

Randall Terry (founder of the militant anti-abortion organization Operation Rescue and a writer for the Dominion magazine Crosswinds) signed the magazine’s “Manifesto for the…

UK Muslims & the “War on Christmas”

By Svend White

…he Right who’ve appointed themselves Christmas’ defenders may extol the virtues of love and peace on earth on December 25, but the other 364 days of the year play the Grinch, fighting tooth and nail against humane social and economic policies for America’s weakest and most disadvantaged in the name of heartless standards of responsibility or efficiency that I suspect Mary would have found hard to understand as she found herself forced to give birt…

What’s The Matter With Joe Biden? As Disgust Builds Over Calamity in Gaza the President Offers Only Toothless Criticism

By Haroon Moghul

…us towards shared goals. But how else can I make sense of the president’s policies and politics? Elite Democrats love to remind us of the danger Trump represents to democracy and diversity, even as they’ve been awfully contemptuous of actual democracy and diversity themselves in many cases. I came of age in New York City, where I quickly found that plenty of the people who congratulated themselves on their cosmopolitanism, who spoke the language…

RDPulpit: Obama Missed the Hope in State of the Union Address

By Daniel Schultz

…gful change. This is precisely why the 2008 Obama campaign ran against the policies of the Bush Administration under the rubric of “hope.” Modest, incremental change motivates no one. Old Testament scholar and theologian Walter Brueggemann says that when “serious hopefulness” is locked out of the public conversation, the consciousness created to serve the interests of the powerful cannot be pierced, and the idea of real change cannot be entertaine…

Are Evangelicals Sweetness and Light or Enablers of Cruelty and Racism? Gender Roles Hint at an Answer

By Kristin Kobes Du Mez

…d charitable giving than for their support of a ruthless president and his policies, but rather how it is that salt-of-the-earth evangelicals can do all of these things at the same time. For many evangelicals, there is little conflict between their support for Donald Trump and the faith they profess. A softer, kinder evangelicalism has always coexisted alongside the culture wars militancy that has propelled the faithful into the arms of Trump. To…

Does the President Need Churching?

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…f with. What matters is if steps up and works tirelessly to implement real policies that help “the least of these.” If Obama’s efforts raise people out of poverty, gives them the health coverage they need to withstand a health crisis both financially and physically, and brings this country to a better understanding of what it means to live in true harmony with one another, then he will have accomplished more than any other president who regularly…

Bin Laden’s Death Does Not Prove that Torture Works

By Sarah Sentilles

…our only guide when deciding whether or not to advocate certain actions or policies, we will end up supporting horrible, unethical things. Like child labor. Or slavery. Or dictatorships. Torture is wrong because it is wrong, and its effectiveness would not change that fact. Revenge is Not Justice The prohibition against torture is well-established under international law as jus cogens, which essentially means that some things are so fundamentally…
