Andrew Sullivan Really Took This Opportunity to Misread Intersectionality?

By Sunnivie Brydum and Evan Derkacz

…know, a discredited ideologue paid by the American Enterprise Institute to promote public policies targeting people of color, women and the poor. His work has employed a combination of eugenics and other pseudo-science that has time and time again shown to be based on false premises, inadequate research and erroneous conclusions. He is not an academic nor a “critically acclaimed” public scholar, but a well-funded phony. His research is an insult t…

Do Intelligent People Need Religion?

By Brett Beasley

…tically rather than intuitively. David Bentley Hart would disagree. In his latest book, The Experience of God: Being, Consciousness, Bliss, the Eastern Orthodox theologian argues, instead, that that “the absolutely convinced atheist” is not an uncompromising intellectual, but rather “someone who has failed to notice something very obvious.” And while Zuckerman’s study is rigorously researched, it actually demonstrates Hart’s point: the study gets…

The Jerusalem Tinderbox

By Sarah Posner

…en though Netanyahu opposes it — “pyromania.” This week, in discussing the latest escalations in violence and rising tensions in Jerusalem and the Temple Mount in particular, Seidemann told me that current situation in the “home town for people dealing with the apocalypse” “augurs for a non-routine violent event,” in part because “we have seen a serious destabilization at the Temple Mount.” Later that day, Glick was shot. If you want to understand…

Is “Israel-Firster” Anti-Semitic?

By Sarah Posner

On the latest episode of my Bloggingheads show, I discuss this with Sarah Wildman: In the rest of the program, we discuss the neoconservative Emergency Committee for Israel ad aimed at demonizing (and defunding) the Center for American Progress and Media Matters for America; how issues relating to Israel-Palestine get discussed among American Jews; and Wildman’s excellent piece about the web magazine 972, published in the current issue of the Nat…

Delillo and Doctor Strange: Orientalist Fantasy is Alive and Well

By Noah Berlatsky

…of course, every ideology needs its narratives. Doctor Strange is just the latest in a long line of blockbuster fantasies that can easily be named Orientalist. Batman Begins has its hero gain fighting skills by traveling to Tibet (which was improbably filled with ninjas); Indiana Jones bopped from Nepal to Egypt in search of an ancient “Jewish” artifact. And the list goes on. A Journey to No-Place Don DeLillo’s latest novel, Zero K—a book that is…

The Week in Religion, Poetically:

By Michael J. Altman

…ope know how to reach the kids. There’s the Italian DJ priest spinning the latest from Lady Gaga. Then there’s the skateboarding priest in Hungary. Awesome. Even more awesome: pilgrimages on a motorcycle. 10,000 motorcyclists took part in the festival of the Madonna of the Bikers in Porcaro, France. Christian Scientists want spiritual care covered in the federal health package. A new law in North Carolina requires schools and colleges to give stud…

Trump Smashing Religious Right Formula to Bits

By Sarah Posner

…walked in.” For the evangelicals who are (rightfully) horrified by Trump’s latest, perhaps it might be time to put Islamophobia at the top of their religious freedom agenda, way, way above wedding cakes and insurance coverage for IUDs. Is there good news in the latest Monmouth University poll in Iowa, which has Cruz leading Trump among that state’s all-important evangelical voters, by a 30 to 18 percent margin? Yesterday Cruz offered no condemnati…

PFOX Accuses PTA of being PC

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…scriminated against, it’s because the jig is up, and with Rekers being the latest in a line of “ex-gay” proponents defecting from the program or being outed as being what they profess to cure, the National PTA can spot a charlatan. Griggs isn’t done yet, though. This rejection can only mean one thing: “The PTA has become a left-wing advocacy group instead of serving the needs of all children,” said Griggs. Hardly. Only a quick gander at the speake…

Gambian Leaders Portray Anti-Gay Law as Defense of Islam, Ugandan Politicians as ‘Christmas Gift’; Global LGBT Recap

By Peter Montgomery

…as just days after declaring at the United Nations in New York, “Those who promote homosexuality want to put an end to human existence. It is becoming an epidemic and we Muslims and Africans will fight to end this behavior…. Homosexuality in all its forms and manifestations which, though very evil, antihuman as well as anti-Allah, is being promoted as a human right by some powers.” Fatou Camara, who briefly served as Jammeh’s communications direct…

Creators of Missing Lowe’s Ad Tell All

By Hussein Rashid

…an Family Association, pressured Lowe’s to pull its advertising from TLC’s latest reality TV series, All American Muslim. Caton’s website, as Sarah Posner points out, claims that the show “profiles only Muslims that appear to be ordinary folks.” This is, ostensibly, to conceal the “Islamic believers whose agenda poses a clear and present danger to liberties and traditional values that the majority of Americans cherish.” Lowe’s subsequently bowed t…
