Revelations from Family of Secrets (an addendum)

By Frederick Clarkson

…ails the Bush family’s personal, political and business connections to the Saudi royal family; and to apparent international slush funds and money laundering schemes. Much of this is told in such a matter of fact fashion that it is easy to lose sight of the significance of many of the individual facts. Regarding George W. Bush, in addition to the manufacture of the legend his conversion story (see main story) the book covers familiar turf regardin…

Trump Gives Davos Press Credentials to Racist Conspiracy Outlet. Again.

By Gordon Haber

…de, among other things, the details of an overheard conversation between a Saudi official and a political consultant whose breathless non-scoop is that the president doesn’t care much about the peace process (along with speculation that Trump’s assistance to Netanyahu before the Israeli election was “probably at the prompting of Jared Kushner”).

As a Muslim, I am Exhausted…

By Nabil Echchaibi

…e, or politically correct. And Muslims themselves have to work harder at opening up the boundaries of the category ‘Muslim’ away from its ghettoized religious connotation and its basic premise that if ‘good’ Muslims can speak, things will be better. “Free cultures get what they celebrate,” said the inventor Dean Kamen.

By Sarah Posner

…to blacks—portrayed President Obama as an emissary to this world of secret codes and seditious intent, and his much-lauded religious freedom speech in Cairo as evidence of that. . . . [National Review contributor Andrew] McCarthy, author of the books The Grand Jihad: How Islam and the Left Sabotage America and How Obama Embraces Islam’s Sharia Agenda, links both President Obama and the American left to this supposed plot, claiming that they share…

6 Years Later, Arab Spring May Only Have Just Begun

By Haroon Moghul

…is the worst violence in the Middle East, but not the only violence. Saudi Arabian and allied forces are pummeling Yemen, a catastrophe that usually goes uncommented on; the Gaza Strip remains under siege; the West Bank is even more occupied; Iraq teeters on the edge of anarchy; and Turkey has fallen under an authoritarian shadow. There are bright spots in the Muslim world, but a sense of ominousness is inescapable. It doesn’t just seem like the A…

Rage or Courage?: YouTube Terrorism Take Two

By Bruce B. Lawrence

…tay on YouTube,” it said. Google is, in effect, walking a precarious line between advocacy of free speech and incitement to violence. Blocking the video might encourage copycat endeavors to prohibit other material, yet most would no doubt agree that endless provocation of violence must also be avoided—or at least mitigated. All companies that allow people to post content online—Facebook and Twitter, as well as Google—have grappled with similar is…

Why I Boycotted a Conference at Brigham Young University

By Mark Juergensmeyer

…us jobs at the same time. This seemed so counter to the spirit of academic freedom—and to the very issues of religious liberty that the conference was promoting—that in conscience I felt that I had to take a stand. I had looked forward to the conference. The issue was important, the international roster of scholars participating was impressive, and my old friend and colleague, David Little, was to receive an award for his work on issues of religio…

NPR Gives a Free Pass to Biblical Literalists

By Peter Laarman

…his wives AND his concubines, between a man and a woman plus other women, between a man and his brother’s widow, between a man-as-rapist and his victim, and between male soldiers and their female prisoners of war. While it is true that advocates for equality and inclusion can never persuade biblical literalists that the clear direction of biblical testimony points toward inclusion (let alone shake their hilarious conviction that the Bible’s only…

Pulitzer-Prize Winning Historian’s Latest Reveals the Problem with Today’s ‘Religious Freedom’

By Andrew L. Seidel

…than a historical summation, described by Rakove thusly: “Disestablishment promoted free exercise, and free exercise made establishment superfluous.” Beyond Belief recounts this history, and, while Rakove touches on the present, his focus is the past. But it’s impossible to read Beyond Belief and not notice that, in their desperation to “make America great again” Trump, Pence, and the other Christian nationalist politicians and judges have turned…
