Huckabee Calls For Civil Disobedience, Utterly Misreads MLK, Jr.

By Peter Gathje

…uples. The third criterion Dr. King identifies is that “an unjust law is a code that a numerical or power majority group compels a minority group to obey but does not make binding on itself. This is difference made legal. By the same token, a just law is a code that a majority compels a minority to follow and that it is willing to follow itself. This is sameness made legal.” For same sex couples to have legal access just like heterosexual couples…

Religious Leaders Urge Obama to Allow Abortion Funding in Foreign Aid

By Frances Kissling

…re was John Paul II’s plea that Muslim women raped during the civil war in Bosnia-Herzgovina should carry those pregnancies to term and turn those rapes into “acts of love.” It is especially in situations of war and massive displacement that girls are subjected to rape. And, not only do religious views on abortion result in abortion denied, US foreign policy contributes to their suffering. According to Save the Children, 80% of war rape victims ar…

This World Refugee Day, Rising White Nationalism Meets the Largest Refugee Population in History — Which is No Coincidence

By Sara Kamali

…such as the Srebrenica massacre took place. Indeed, the wars in Rwanda and Bosnia have many similarities. Yet, the media coverage differed greatly. Fair-skinned Bosnians were contextualized, personalized, and humanized, while Black Rwandans were depicted as the undeserving Other. Whatever the color of our skin, we’re living on the same planet that’s currently beleaguered by overlapping crises, including racism, wars, the climate crisis, inflation,…

Convergence of Far-Right, Anti-Democratic Factions in the Northwest Could Provide a Model for the Rest of the Nation

By Frederick Clarkson and Cloee Cooper

…t. He’s a former officer in the Army and the National Guard, who served in Bosnia and Iraq and has a remarkable post-military resume that established his credentials as a leader in both the Christian Right and the Patriot movement. He was a cofounder of the state political affiliate of Focus on the Family as well as founder of the Spokane chapter of the anti-Muslim group, ACT for America. In 2017 Shea was elected chair of the Republican Caucus. A…

What Can We Do About Crimea?

By Haroon Moghul

…opic.) Because of Serbian complicity in the ethnic cleansing of Croats and Bosniaks, it wasn’t a hard war to sell. But Kosova mattered more to Serbs, arguably, than Bosnia did, many seeing it as the spiritual homeland and national touchstone for their peoplehood. In 1389, some 610 years before that war—a number Muslims might identify with, for entirely unrelated reasons—Ottoman forces inflicted a massive defeat on the nascent Serbian state, making…

Religion Comes to its Senses

By Brook Wilensky-Lanford

…here’s my mother’s recipe, here’s the kind of things we used back home in Bosnia, or back home in Burma. You don’t have to feel like I’m gonna get it right or wrong, I’m going say something bad about God, I’m gonna say something bad about Jesus. It allows a kind of personal basis for conversation. That would be a dream for this kind of work, to help foster a different kind of interreligious dialogue. I don’t know if it will, but it would be fun….

Sex Work: In Bed with the Religious Right

By Dagmar Herzog

…th. It’s not about hellfire anymore. Repression has now been repackaged as promotion of mental well-being. Suddenly everything is about low self-esteem: homosexuality, abortions, pornography, premarital sex. The Bush administration mandated in 2006 that high school curricula dependent on federal funding (and at that point 46 of the 50 states took federal funding for abstinence ed) must inform students that sex before marriage could lead to depress…

The “G-Word”: Genocide’s Slippery Nature

By Tom Hogan

…adopt the same tired tribal and ethnic arguments that didn’t hold water in Bosnia or Rwanda. These students aren’t hypocrites—they’re just further evidence that history is clean and current events are messy. Political math tells them there are many reasons to stay out of today’s genocides and only one reason to intervene: that it’s the right thing to do. Another problem for ethicists in dealing with genocide is that their response process often do…

Vietnam, the Analogy

By Louis A. Ruprecht

…losed to free public scrutiny, Winkler demonstrates how the language of “terror” has been a free-wheeling presidential signifier, easily exploited to justify any war against any enemy, from Vietnam to Bosnia to Afghanistan. We should watch very closely as this new President grapples with the subtler implications of an unsettling analogy he has inherited, along with two wars….

Forget the Pope—We Need a New Caliph!

By Haroon Moghul

…How many Muslim leaders are women? Bam! Plus: she’s the elected mayor of a Bosnian town, which means she can handle Eastern European men—an added bonus. Wham! She’s won praise for her administration, commitment, and seriousness, which means she can finally get Muslim events to start on time. Plus, she’d remove stereotypes that Islam is purely an “Arab” phenomenon. Also, a white woman in a headscarf as Caliph would destroy Orientalist narratives an…
