…ut the same thing all Christopher Nolan’s films are about: memory, and the ways the past rises up to grab us in the current moment and remind us of who we are. It is memory that makes us, supplies us with identity, even (perhaps especially) when those memories are traumatic. “Bruce Wayne,” “Leonard,” “Robert Angier,” and “Cobb”—key protagonists in Nolan’s films over the past decade—are each haunted by a memory; in three of the four cases the memor…

Departure of the Queen

By Amina Wadud

…tch ride outside the gates of the estate where I can have bars for my cell phone and get in touch with them later today. Before the shaykh arrives, I continue with my Qur’an reading. I don’t use the tiny mp3 player anymore because this last juz’ includes most of the Qur’an that I have memorized myself, and this is more a review than a simple reflective read. Coming to the end of the Qur’an reading is also melancholy, and I forget why I felt I shou…

By Sunnivie Brydum

…ernment action.” As for the lesbian moms who have their sick child turned away by a “pious” doctor? Perhaps they should just follow Trump’s advice for those seeking safe abortions and “go to another state.” Speaking of health care, Trump’s pick for secretary of Health and Human Services, Georgia Rep.

By James F. McGrath

…day, every second.” This sums up the Doctor brilliantly—a being who will always, always push the “protest” button. And his action frees the people of Starship UK from their mysterious bondage, their self-imposed amnesia. The Doctor is an anarchist messiah, a man capable of transforming simple protest into liberation.

If You Were Faced With Him

By Amina Wadud

…picked up quickly and loaded the dishwasher, I said yes. Then I checked my phone. Like many people, I keep it on silent unless I’m expecting a call, so I missed a called from my youngest daughter. Instead she left a text message. It read: “your hajj packgat came” (sic) I burst out crying. So much so that my other daughter came forward and said, “What’s wrong?!” I couldn’t speak. I just showed her the text message and cried and hugged her. To her c…

Who’s Accusing Who of Mormon-Baiting?

By Joanna Brooks

…t Coke and a dozen pink-frosted sugar cookies that there is no anti-Mormon phonebanking script in use by Catholics for Obama. Anywhere. Is anti-Mormonism real? Yes. But even if one poorly-trained rogue phonebanker veered off script into an anti-Mormon ad lib, it does not make for a concerted anti-Mormon effort. (Leave that to orthographically challenged “Heaven is Easy” ministry in Florida.) May cool heads prevail as the race heats up in its fina…

The Prou…

The End of Jewish Education As We Know It?

By Benjamin Weiner

…in the service of CJP’s massive fundraising operation. And my mother was always going off to some BJE meeting or another, which I knew had something to do with the ethno-religious education we were receiving, whether in parochial school or at the synagogue. It’s only later on in life that people, if they take an interest, begin to comprehend the networks they were born into, the histories of the constellations they took for granted. CJP, though it…
