Opening the Door to Hell: Jewish Terrorism in Israel

By Shalom Goldman

The much publicized Israeli-Palestinian peace talks, heavily promoted by the Obama Administration, seem to have gone the way of earlier negotiations—that is, nowhere. The Palestinian leadership has called for the suspension of all talks until the Israelis freeze settlement activity, a political move that Netanyahu’s coalition could not make and survive politically since the right wing of his coalition will brook no talk of territorial concessions…

TLC Premieres Polygamy Reality Show Sister Wives

By Joanna Brooks

…e-level membership. Which is about as interesting to me as Kate Gosselin’s latest makeover. But the b-o-r-i-n-g world of Kody Brown and family may in fact be a tremendous blessing to the broader community of 40,000 plus Mormon fundamentalist polygamists, most of whom have been struggling to get out from under PR havoc wreaked by the exploits of monomaniacal FLDS leader Warren Jeffs and his now infamous exploits in underage arranged marriage and wa…

The Right Attacks Obama’s Religious Advisors

By Sarah Posner

…sor to the president and therefore must be proved to be anti-American. The latest attack is against Hunter, another pastor in Obama’s inner circle, and it is so dumb, false, and rooted in the every-Muslim-must-be-a-terrorist mania that no doubt it will eventually penetrate the conservative consciousness. The theme of Hunter’s book, A New Kind of Conservative, is the blandly inoffensive notion that someone can be conservative and nice at the same t…

Free Yiddish Lessons, Vacation Liberty School, and Brangelina’s Universalism: The Week in Religion, Poetically

By Michael J. Altman

…. the dreaded “Ground Zero Mosque”) is still embroiled in controversy. The latest blocking strategy has been to apply for landmark status for the current building on the site. Echoing the Temecula Baptists, US Representative Peter King said, “It’s a house of worship, but we are at war with al-Qaida.” King also argued that it was a bad time for Muslims to build a mosque. “Right at this moment in history, it’s bad form to put it there.” Want to bloc…

White Rockers in Search of Soul Salvation

By Paul Harvey

…ave my soul Fifty-eight-year old rock veteran John Mellencamp recorded his latest record live, in three different sacred spaces: a legendary studio (Sun Studios in Memphis), a hotel room in San Antonio (where blues legend Robert Johnson cut some epochal sides in 1936), and, most significantly for this article, the First African Baptist Church in Savannah, Georgia. The first two are hallowed ground of American musical recording history. The third i…

Glenn’s at it Again, and Again

By Joanna Brooks

…week, using religious rhetoric to stir up the masses in support of another promotional event for the Glenn Beck media empire. Witness his exchange with David Barton of Wallbuilders on August 16: Beck: I think this is an opportunity to gather God’s people together and wake people up. And I just have this feeling that this is the beginning of something gigantic in this country, that it is spiritual awakening. What’s going to happen there will raise…

Single, But Married To Jesus

By Anthea Butler

…e is for white people,” or perhaps it’s the Tyler Perry phenomenon, or the latest salvo by Steve Harvey, “Act Like a Lady, Think like A Man.” The spate of over-the-top weddings like those of Star Jones and Juanita Bynum, both whom claimed God gave them their spouses, surely played a role. But both are divorced, one spectacularly. Bad theology is also to blame. The “waiting on the Lord” theme, being told to be like Ruth and wait until your Boaz fin…

Mercy, Justice, and the Telephone Company

By Daniel Schultz

…like being asked to die for the telephone company.” It’s worth asking the latest wave of Know-Nothings if they’re prepared to do that. Even better, somebody should ask them if just how committed they are to the ideal of the free market. Because the other tension in the nation-state as it has developed is the twin definition of citizenship: on the one hand, citizens are free to participate in the political realm. On the other, they’re free to part…

No More Mosques

By Daniel Schultz

…lash out and hurt somebody: Normally I would think we could ride out this latest wave of nativism and racism, but there are two factors that make it more dangerous than usual. The first, of course, is the economy which looks like it’s not going to recover smartly thus giving this impulse more oxygen than it might otherwise have. The second is that the right wing demagogues have an entire industry now devoted to creating and nurturing these wedge…
