Is the Ryan VP Pick Good for Mormonism?

By Joanna Brooks

…eturns and Obama’s attacks on Romney. And Romney was actually losing that, compounding his longstanding problem connecting to voters. And now, there’s Paul Ryan. The focus has shifted. RAF: All of the character stuff was of a piece—Romney at Bain. Romney and his tax returns. Romney, the businessman. Romney, the Mormon priesthood leader. Romney, this out-of-touch, elite, hard-to-connect with figure who belongs to this “odd” hard-to-connect-with Chu…

Bishops Search for Condoms in Cookie Boxes

By Mary E. Hunt

…wess by choosing to investigate the Girl Scouts of the USA. Which would be comical—first the nuns, now the Girl Scouts—if the goal were not so pernicious and the outcome so damaging, especially to the bishops. The tactics against the girls and the women are taken from one playbook, the goal of intimidation is the same, and the pushback in both cases is distracting from more pressing problems at hand. Still, you wonder who does their public relatio…

Heaven On Earth: A Non-Hysterical History of Shari’ah

By Haroon Moghul

…urns to the earliest generations for its proofs and ideals—it has no other common ground, in a sense. How then is Ibn Taymiyya any different? What makes him “radical”? Of course you’re right that appealing to Islam’s origins is an integral aspect of the faith. As I observe at one point, “respect for the salafs, the first generations of Muslims, is perfectly conventional among believers.” What made Ibn Taymiyya so remarkable was his re-evaluation o…

When Straight People Tell Gay Stories

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…was fake. The people he met thought he was something he was not. He was welcomed under false pretenses, acting like someone who understood the struggle that his LGBT friends faced. He did not. His heart might have been in the right place, and his intentions might have been pure, but what he leaves is a wake of people lied to. In this case, the ends don’t justify the means. Especially not when the ends could have been reached without lying to anyon…

In The Daily Beast, Niall Ferguson Says: Bomb Iran

By Haroon Moghul

…or it. Not to mention the suffering in Iraq. Ferguson says nothing of the hundreds of thousands of Iraqis who died, and the hundreds of thousands more who suffer, who were expelled, maimed, forced into prostitution, and otherwise traumatized. To Ferguson, humans are second-order policy considerations, though he might ask: Would you rather Saddam was still in power? I would counter: Would you rather hundreds of thousands dead in an ongoing sectaria…

R.I.P. Pope John Paul’s “Contraceptive Mentality”: 1979–2014

By Patricia Miller

…is conceived. … The life which could result from a sexual encounter thus becomes an enemy to be avoided at all costs, and abortion becomes the only possible decisive response to failed contraception. This is the thinking about women and contraception that has guided the Catholic Church since Ronald Reagan was in office and explains much of the bishops’ irrational hostility to contraception—John Paul taught that it was “abortion lite.” It stands in…

GOP, Gingrich, Perry Team Up to put Satirists Out of Work

By Sarah Posner

…of the human person, but truly part of the personal reality of the human being. Human beings are not merely centers of consciousness or emotion, or minds, or spirits, inhabiting non-personal bodies. The human person is a dynamic unity of body, mind, and spirit. Marriage is what one man and one woman establish when, forsaking all others and pledging lifelong commitment, they found a sharing of life at every level of being—the biological, the emoti…

Cronus, Chronos, and Christ

By Louis A. Ruprecht

…Latin world that did not speak much Greek. This is all important poetic evidence of what Saturn was becoming in the Roman mind after the conquests in Greece: the symbol of a nostalgized, purer past, one lost in the fluidity of time and the frenetic repetition of conquest. It’s a hell of a poetic message for the newly emerging empire of Augustus that was already bragging about its “eternity” (and so it’s small wonder that the emperor eventually exi…

The Real (and More Interesting) World Behind Magic in the Moonlight

By David Walker

…istory and (references to) Nietzsche. And I’m less inclined than others to complain about Magic in the Moonlight being a “hollow shell,” because, well, I think the raison d’etre of magic itself is to create miniature containers for critical thought. My only hope is that, even with our persistent fascination with synthetic magic stories, we do not overlook the fun of narrating the interstices—the spaces of clear-eyed ambivalence—in greater detail….

Is Liberalism Islamic?: An Interview with Mustafa Akyol

By Haroon Moghul

…Muslims and non-Muslims who believe that Islam and liberal democracy are fundamentally incompatible. Obviously, I disagree with them. I rather want to show them that a genuinely Islamic yet liberal view of the world is possible. Muslims can tolerate the “freedom to sin,” for example, not because they condone sin, but that its judgment should be left to God. Can you explain what you mean by liberalism? By liberalism, I mean a political and economi…
