House Health Care Bill Discriminates Against Religious Freedom

By Gordon D. Newby

…ion is allowed for good cause. This is true of the Shafi’i Muslims of Southeast Asia and East Africa. For the Malikis in North Africa and the Hanbalis of Saudi Arabia and the Emirates, ensoulment occurs at day 40, with abortions allowed up to that time. On the basis of Qur’an 2:233, which states that the mother should not be made to suffer on account of the child, many Muslim jurists allow abortion even after the period of ensoulment, particularly…

By Michael J. Baigent

…inously rearing its seven heads and ten horns. Finally, a servant of this beast will arrive on the stage, a “false prophet” (16:13)—the Antichrist—who will lead his international satanic army against the forces of God. All these satanic forces will be gathered together “at the place called in Hebrew, Armageddon” (16:16). Abruptly, a white horse bearing a divine warrior will appear from heaven, a warrior described as “The Word of God” (19:13), whom…

Found in Translation: How a Thirteenth-Century Islamic Poet Conquered America

By Ryann Croken

…ity. In his defense, Barks has amassed a dedicated following in the Middle East, and despite accusations of cultural insensitivity, he was awarded an honorary doctorate from the University of Tehran for his success in making Rumi a hit in places across the United States where many feared that Barack Obama might be a secret Arab-Muslim. What strikes me most about the criticisms against Barks is that they generally accuse him of giving Rumi too frie…

Americans Who Rage against Political Correctness Are Also the Most Xenophobic—And Most Likely to Vote Trump in 2020

By Samuel L Perry

…al government should do more to secure the Southern border and that Middle Eastern refugees pose a terrorist threat. In the second figure [below, right], we see a similar trend, but in the opposite direction. The more strongly Americans disagree with the statement “People need to be more careful with language to avoid offending people,” the more likely they are to hold xenophobic views about refugees from the Middle East and to want stricter borde…

The Untold Story of The Greatest Yiddish Poet in America

By Jerome E. Copulsky

…otten Yiddish volumes, immersing himself in the language and literature of Eastern European Jews. Manseau has taken the stories he has heard and read, especially those of a generation of sweatshop workers on the Lower East Side who spent their free moments composing Yiddish literature, and woven them into a fantasy of love and loss, of a woman and of a language, of the mystery of bashert. Manseau himself is clearly aware of the boldness, or perhap…

Obama’s Bunker-Busters to Israel

By Sarah Posner

…k of Ezekiel, leading to an “inferno [that] will explode across the Middle East, plunging the world toward Armageddon” . . . . In Hagee’s telling, Israel has no choice but to strike at Iran’s nuclear facilities, with or without America’s help. The strike will provoke Russia—which wants Persian Gulf oil—to lead an army of Arab nations against Israel. Then God will wipe out all but one-sixth of the Russian-led army, as the world watches “with shock…

Beinart’s Indictment And The Evangelical Right

By Sarah Posner

…reflexively defends the Israeli government’s policies, but it is actively promoting the idea that the conflict there is not over land or politics, but is a clash of civilizations and religions. “Freedom” is not about human rights for all; it’s about Christianity ascendant. At the Freedom Federation Summit in Lynchburg, Virginia, last month, an entire session was devoted to “Israel, the Middle East, and Military Readiness.” (The event as a whole w…

By Daniel Schultz

…a post-Civil War influx of Confederates to Brazil to crusades against the beast of communism to the emergence of a new beast in need of conversion: Muslims. This interview has been edited for length and clarity. Tell us about this network of missionaries, which, as I understand it, sort of flows from the US into Latin America and out across the world? Brazil at first received a few missionaries. There were some Presbyterians from the American Boar…

Meet the ‘Bronze Age Zionists’ — Far-Right Jews Embracing Fascism in the Wake of October 7

By Ben Lorber

…But what about our own border?’ (as if two causes cannot be supported, at least morally, at the same time), ‘LOL Ben Shapiro takes the Hitl0r pill!’ (as if the strongest motivation among our crowd is to not be Ben Shapiro). You know what I mean. What he ‘means’ is that strong currents of antisemitism, combined with America First isolationism, preclude large portions of the dissident Right from enthusiastically supporting Israeli nationalism and it…
