The Islamists vs. The Markets: Egypt’s Election Analyzed

By Haroon Moghul

…ting from a disadvantage: many major powers around the world (specifically Western powers, but also some Arab and Muslim countries) will immediately distrust that government, no matter what its platform. Predicting Even More in the Futures I also think that the value of these democracies is perhaps romanticized. We are currently in a global situation wherein long-established Western democracies are completely powerless before international finance…

What Passover Taught Me About Being Black

By A. E. Brooks-Key

…transgenerational suffering of Black and Indigenous people throughout the western hemisphere—or so I believed at the time. Fast forward to the late 2000s and 2010s, with the advent of social media the beliefs of Hebrew Israelite groups such as the ISUPK have moved from public access TV stations to YouTube. Their teachings and beliefs have shifted from the margins of Black religious life to the mainstream. It’s not uncommon to hear an African Amer…

It’s Not Climate Change, It’s Climate Chaos: Lessons from COP22

By Donna Schaper

…92) and the Wallace Global Fund. A third important shift will occur as the Western nations figure out if they can work together, at all, within a Trump presidency. President Sarkozy may indeed put a carbon tariff on American imports. The EU will surely wonder if we are going to play a role either for peace in Syria or for the refugees. There will likely not be a unified Western position. President Angela Merkel’s decision to run for a fourth term…

Biblical Inerrancy: Responses to “What Do ‘The Christians’ Believe?”

By C. Joshua Villines

…ic stance” against contemporary Western society (and sometimes against non-Western religions), which aligns them with radically alienated conservatives who have more secular concerns (e.g., the Tea Party Movement in the United States). It is this trend, I suspect, that more than any other factor has increased tensions among Christians to the breaking point, despite occasional efforts (e.g., the recent “Civility Covenant” signed by progressive and…

Religion vs. Science: America’s Perilous Fight

By Edward J. Larson

…t to the tenets of natural history, creationism retained the upper hand in Western thought until the mid-1800s. Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection transformed the terms of this debate by supplying a materialistic account of how species evolve. Every offspring differs from its parents and siblings, Darwin argued. With limited resources, only the fittest of these offspring survive to propagate their variations. In this manner,…

The White Nationalist Fringe Just Took a Giant Step Closer to the Center of the GOP

…e of American democracy are potentially devastating. Zimmer warns: “Every ‘Western’ society harbors far-right extremists like Rogers who dream of committing acts of fascistic violence. But it’s the fact that the Republican Party embraces and elevates her, and others like her, that constitutes an acute danger to democracy.” Gorski puts it like this: “Today, the United States finds itself at a crossroads. To the left, lies multiracial democracy; to…

…y the Advisory Committee of the UN Human Rights Council eviscerated Russia’s traditional values resolution. Not only did it not recognize universal traditional rights, it went further “Negative impacts of traditional values arise not only in non-Western countries. The Special Rapporteur on violence against women warned against ‘Orientalising’ cultures and traditions, and noted that traditional and cultural values in Western countries propagate har…

The Burning Houses of Worship We Missed

By Gordon Haber

…actively follow the issues facing minority religions. The Koriya Mosque in Western China reportedly dates from 1237. Last week the Guardian published satellite images of the mosque in a kind of grotesque before-and-after. The first image, from 2017, shows the mosque from above, casting an elongated shadow. The second image shows “a smooth patch of earth.” There’s a less radical but nevertheless disturbing story about China’s Kargilik Mosque. Accor…

Killing the Prophet: The Spanish Exception

By Anouar Majid

…ts killed without anyone getting too offended. I am thinking of Spain, the Western nation that has had the longest continuous contact with Islam. Last September, when Muslims were celebrating the holy month of Ramadan, I attended a festival of Moors and Christians in the small town of Villena, in the region of Alicante. There, every year from September 5th to the 9th, the town reenacts the medieval clash of Moors and Christians in a never-ending f…

Why Utah Felt the Bern: Mormonism’s Forgotten Progressive Past

By Benjamin E. Park

…d more validity to Sanders’s continued campaign, especially going into the western states’ primaries where he is expected to demonstrate the appeal of his national movement. “Charting the progressive components of the Mormon Church’s founding decades not only displays a road not taken, but also potential tools to construct future roads not yet realized.” It also validates a lingering progressive strain within the Mormon tradition. The Church of Je…
