The Resurgence of Right-Wing Anti-Semitic Conspiracism Endangers All Justice Movements

By Ben Lorber

…ller, and Infowars, and championed by the right’s favorite pop philosopher Jordan Peterson, libertarian figurehead Ron Paul, and even Brazil’s far-right President Jair Bolsonaro. It has breached the highest halls of power here as well, with Trump reportedly expressing strong approval of a May 2017 opposition research memo, prepared by the “nationalist wing” of his White House, which warned of a conspiracy of “deep state’ actors, globalists, banker…

Islam=Peace: What’s in a Slogan?

By Brie Loskota

…ight somehow be useful to intone them yet again. But then I went to Amman, Jordan. I was there to participate in a convening of youth leaders from Africa and the Middle East under the auspices of the United States Institute of Peace, which had invited me participate in the meeting and to lead a training session on conflict communication. As we sat around a table in a hotel conference room, I was astounded by the stories of young community leaders…

Sex, Violence, Art, and Religion

By Kent L. Brintnall

…hocks of Christian theological discourse—for good and for ill. Or, as Mark Jordan has been so helpful in helping me understand (through both his written work and his friendship), the only way to talk about Christian theology in a historical moment when theological language is so tainted with a history of cruelty and inhumane violence is by addressing it indirectly and obliquely. Or, to say it much less elegantly, I didn’t want to write a book that…

Anti-Choice Activists to Use Planned Parenthood Vote as Campaign Issue

By Sarah Posner

…ufficiently ideological pure. As the American Center for Law and Justice’s Jordan Sekulow noted in his Daily Caller piece, they are hoping to do damage to the Democratic base: “Although this continues to be an uphill battle, an unsuccessful vote that puts senators on the record helps get us closer to a Congress that has the political will to defund Planned Parenthood once and for all. Until then, our government will continue to fund one of the DNC…

DADT Repeal: The New “Religious Freedom” Issue

By Sarah Posner

New Washington Post On Faith blogger Jordan Sekulow wrote on the eve of the DADT repeal, “social conservatives are not enraged about the end of DADT.” If that’s true, then halleleujah. But just one month ago Sekulow wrote in the same pages, “If DADT is repealed, the American Center for Law & Justice is committed to advocating for the ability of military chaplains to do their job according to the dictates of their faith. The ACLJ has a long histor…

The Washington Post’s New Religious Right Now Blogger

By Sarah Posner

Yesterday the Washington Post announced that Jordan Sekulow, a Republican activist and lawyer with Pat Robertson’s American Center for Law and Justice (led by Sekulow’s father Jay), would be blogging for its On Faith section on the religious right. This is not, of course, like hiring a reporter to cover the religious right. Sekulow is the religious right, and deeply embedded and committed to its ideology and causes; giving him a blogging platform…

John McCain: No God But Country

By Kathryn Lofton

…ortified he was to be such a religious monkey, how certain he was that The Code of Conduct was all he should need, and how it was that that man, that eight-year President, made him be so very evangelical in order to win back the very party that (once upon a time, not so long ago) made him lose a primary by calling his daughter black. But for now, we just have this man, this testifying and freewheeling man who has made his own choices (in word and…

Church=State in Putin’s Orthodox Empire?; Evangelical-Orthodox Anti-Gay Alliance; Malaysian Court Protects Transwomen; Catholicism (Still) Declining in Latin America; Global LGBT Recap

By Peter Montgomery

…. But who is to decide what constitutes a “vice against nature”? The Portuguese legislators had been too coy to mention gay sex explicitly, and so a meaningless clause entered the statute books, which no court could act upon. This year, the Penal Code was rewritten. The new Penal Code sweeps away a great deal of the musty colonial legacy, including the mention of “vices against nature”. Now not even the most contorted of arguments could claim that…

Telling the World a ‘Big Story’: RD in Conversation with Karen Armstrong

By Laurie Patton

…, they are calling us to lay aside the egotism that holds us back from our best selves and from the divine. This is certainly true of the doctrines of Trinity and Incarnation, for example. They also insist that the best way of achieving this is by compassion, in which, “all day and every day” we have to dethrone ourselves from the centre of our world and put another there. The doctrines and mythos of religion only make sense if we put them into pr…
