We Can’t Have Religious Freedom Without Reproductive Freedom

By Frederick Clarkson and Cari Jackson

…under the First Amendment. We think it’s time for us all to seek religious freedom for reproductive freedom, and to recognize that persistent efforts to interfere in reproductive decisions is “an infringement of a natural right” in the sense the Virginia Statute warned. Of course, women didn’t share in this natural right at the time—but the right to believe differently than the rich and the powerful as codified in the Statute and the First Amendme…

What’s Islamophobia, and Do I Have It?

By Haroon Moghul

…rs—but religion is doubtless part of the story. You can’t kill tens of thousands and rape thousands on the basis of their religion, and claim religion has nothing to do with it. One does not slaughter a people until one has hated them sufficiently to go from seeing them as individuals to seeing them as a mass to be done away with. And that hate is Islamophobia. Fears of “creeping Shari’ah”—the manufactured fear Islamophobes haunt America with, too…

Not Cause, But Effect: Jared Loughner and Tea Party Rhetoric

By Finbarr Curtis

…ment (or the expenditure of tax dollars). As Loughner explains, algebra is free. Charging a student for an algebra class amounts to selling a free product and is a scam. If the world worked properly, grammar and currency would convey real value without distortion. But because of government practices of mind control and currency fraud, they do not. As a way out of these misrepresentations, individuals need to learn to dream, a practice that he lab…

Capitalism and Christianity

By Peter Montgomery

…data: 50 percent of white evangelicals say they believe capitalism and the free market are at odds with Christian values. According to the survey, white evangelicals are more likely to say the free market and Christian values are at odds than black Protestants, mainline Protestants, Catholics, and religiously unaffiliated Americans. On first glance that seems difficult to accept given white evangelicals’ overwhelming electoral support for the Repu…

New History Finally Recognizes Afro-Creole Spiritualists

By Paul Harvey

…lic, and hailed from economically successful families. Their families were free during the antebellum period, and they were politically active. Their séance records are utterly fascinating. Nearly all the communications were recorded in French, and messages arrived from Abraham Lincoln, Napoleon Bonaparte, John Brown, Montesquieu, Robert E. Lee, Confucius, Robespierre, George Washington, Jesus and Toussaint Louverture. And that’s an abbreviated li…

State of the Union Stuck in that Olde-Time Semi-Niebuhrianism

By Ira Chernus

…age-old struggles; we are blessed by a unique ability—indeed destiny—to be free of conflict, to be free of the past, to “believe in the same dream that says this is a country where anything’s possible.” Anything? Really? You can almost hear the pantheon of European Christian theologians groaning from their graves in disbelief. But, hey, this is the New World where the frontier has traditionally offered the eternal lure of new beginnings and…

What Does Repentance Look Like For the White Church?: A Conversation with Lisa Sharon Harper

By Deborah Jian Lee

…ates and our nations. We have not done the work that is needed in order to free our own people. We must repent. That is not to say that we just need to wipe our hands of white folks. But white folks need to be de-centered. This world is not about them, and quite honestly, racial justice should not depend on them. Justice is authored by God, not white people. What does repentance look like for the white church when it comes to pursuing justice? Fir…

Is New Park51 Advisor Any Better Than Feisal Abdul-Rauf?

By Hussein Rashid

…d be jailed. A HuffPo news item gives more detail, saying that a person is free to leave Islam without harassment, and should only be jailed if they preach to others that they should leave Islam. (I am relying on second-hand reports as Adhami has numerous lectures and there is no direct link to what the reporters are referring to). For a traditionalist scholar like Adhami, this statement is fairly important. He is moving the question of apostasy f…

Democratic Egypt Tests a Divided Israel

By Shaul Magid

…vernment to dictate terms. Would Netanyahu send in the army and risk state-sanctioned violence against nonviolent protesters that would ostensibly be broadcast throughout the world? Would he command the Israeli Defense Forces to protect the nonviolent protestors against a potentially violent Jewish settler response? The “ace in the hole” of the Palestinian movement has always been massive nonviolent resistance to the occupation. If successful, the…

‘People You May Know’ Reveals a War on Democracy Being Waged With Big Data

By Chrissy Stroop

…ey very often will have downloadable apps—you might find that your data is free to share with anybody. And of course you’ve signed yourself in, you’ve signed in your children, you’ve shared your vulnerabilities. Charles mentioned mental health, but it’s not just mental health, it’s vulnerabilities in general. After all, as a European, it’s interesting to watch how churches in the States, they fill every need. You have preschool, you have a couple’…
