How can Englishness accommodate secularity, considering that widespread agnosticism and rising atheism are arguably as new to England as Islam? And what happens to the fair number of ethnically English Muslims? They may well see no contradiction between a mosque and St. George’s Cross. They may choose a mosque that is dom…

By Kaya Oakes

…spend some serious time listening to new members who have arrived from a fundamentalist background. While there’s doubtlessly a great deal of sincerity in those denominations, the issue for a queer person, as evidenced by this book, is that the pain Christianity has caused them will take more than a rainbow banner or a “welcome” sign to address. All of which leads us to the question I asked myself several times while reading the book: who is the…

By Peter Laarman

…t the editorial page director said was already in the works and that now becomes still more urgent. I recommend the project’s eye-popping opening primer on the extent of savage inequality we seem to be inured to accepting. Problem is, we already know how bad it is, but wealth’s ownership of the political system means that nothing basically changes. And wealth is very, very good at preserving its power. Note how some of the wealthiest of all—the me…
