Please Stop Using Islam to Critique the Abortion Ban: It Only Excuses the Very Christian, Very White Roots of Anti-Choice Movements

By Sajida Jalalzai

…er the law went into effect that drew explicit connections between the anti-abortion restrictions and Islam. Hashtags like #ShariaLawInTexas and #TexasTaliban, as well as political cartoons featuring burqa-clad women in black “pray[ing] for Texas women,” or embraced by fist bumping, bearded men (one in a turban and the other in a cowboy hat) have gone viral. These tags and images show how Islam and Muslims continue to be used in America as short-h…

Clues in the Data Suggest That Increase in LGBTQ Acceptance May Be Skewed By Conservative Desire For ‘Respectability’

By Chrissy Stroop

…ght bans on gender-affirming healthcare for minors and members of Christian-flag-bearing fascist mobs shouting “The fist of Christ will come down on you very soon!” at people just trying to attend a drag brunch. To be sure, backlash regularly follows civil rights gains. The beneficiaries of the longstanding White supremacist patriarchal, Christian-normative social hierarchy will inevitably attempt to reassert themselves. Fearful bigots and bullies…

Sharbat Gula’s Experience Exemplifies the ‘White Savior’ Lens Through Which Most Americans View Afghanistan

By Sara Kamali

…ne 1985 edition of National Geographic, is one of them. Sharbat Gula’s then-ten-year-old face is also one of the most enduring images of Afghanistan for the West. Her picture, however, isn’t merely a portrait of an Afghan girl. It’s a synecdoche for the White Savior lens through which many Americans have singularly viewed and continue to view Afghans, Afghanistan, and the US-led invasion of Sharbat’s nation of birth. This approach to Afghans and A…

Turn On The News: The Times Has to Make a Choice: It Can’t Laugh at Satanic Claims and Take the Christian Right at Face Value

By Daniel Schultz

…rticular form. And, in fact, von Hausswolff names the issue herself. In an Instagram post the day after her canceled concert, she speaks of Catholic integralism, which scholars define as the idea that “rendering God true worship is essential to that common good, and that political authority therefore has the duty of recognizing and promoting the true religion.” In plain English: the government is responsible for enforcing social norms based in rel…

The ‘Freedom Convoy’ is Inspired by a Biblical Account of Divine Massacre: Welcome to the Jericho March

By Thomas Lecaque

…spiracy theory. Viganò has promoted it relentlessly. It’s also used by anti-vaxx, anti-mask and other anti-mandate groups as their way of drumming up support internationally and bringing in more conspiracy theorists. Viganò’s message focuses on Christian nationalism from a Catholic perspective. It’s also permeated with QAnon tropes: “But, even more, dear Canadian brothers, it is necessary to understand that this dystopia serves to establish the di…

Pray Vote Stand 2022 Kicks Off With Some Head-Scratchers on Predictable Topics

By PRA Staff

…s have been answered thusly, Katy Faust, founder of Them Before Us, an anti-LGBT, anti-trans, anti-abortion children’s advocacy organization, takes the stage. Faust claims that children haven’t changed since 1996 when the Defense of Marriage Act was passed, prohibiting federal recognition of marriages outside of one man and one woman. She asks if children haven’t changed, why has marriage? It is time, Faust urges the crowd, to bring back that defi…

‘This is a War Meeting…This is Gonna Get Dirty,’ Anti-Woke Capitalism, & American ‘History’: Day 2 Roundup

By PRA Staff

…e capitalism.” (Target, curiously, has also been the focus of chronic right-wing conspiracy theories about sex-trafficking, which had been flaring up once again in the weeks prior to Pray Vote Stand). With the panelists acting as David, they have the perfect slingshot loaded with two stones: 1) leveraging large assets and 2) organizing consumer voices. According to Jonathan Danhof, Head of Corporate Governance for Strive (an asset management firm…

Barna Plays God, School Board Boot Camp, and the Birth of the ‘SAGECON’: Day 3

By PRA Staff

…worldview, built on the typical Christian Right talking points: God is all-knowing and all-powerful, absolute moral truth exists, humans are sinful by nature, the Bible is literally true and written by God, and God created only two genders meant to love each other in marriage. Unfortunately, a majority of Americans practice “syncretism” by taking pieces of different worldviews to create their own personal worldview. Barna considers this an “evil”…

DeSantis is a No-Show, the Right’s ‘Secret Sauce,’ and Final Thoughts on Pray Vote Stand

By PRA Staff

…on alternative media sources is a refreshing surprise—Libby Emmons, editor-in-chief of Canadian conservative magazine The Post Millennial does not toe the party line. Emmons dismisses her co-panelist Rob Bluey, executive editor at Heritage Foundation’s The Daily Signal with a simple quip about the Post Millennial being an independent outlet. Mainstream media are “be-clowning themselves with nonsense and lies,” says Emmons. “They say there’s no su…

The Wrong Man: Why Falwell’s Paying for His Indiscretion But Trump Gets a Pass

By Leslie Dorrough Smith

…the public spotlight. The offending picture features Falwell holding a dark-colored drink (which he calls “black water”) and his arm around a female friend’s waist. Falwell’s pants are unzipped, with his stomach and underwear intentionally exposed in a way intended to mimic his friend’s similarly-bare pregnant belly. This photo may strike some as a relatively tame reason for Falwell to be ushered from the stage, at least compared to his other, mor…
