Accused of Anti-Semitism, Trump Aide Makes Ancestry Appeal

By Michael Schulson

…choice, and social performance, and those components of identity that are bestowed by birth. I don’t know Schmitz’s wife, and it’s not for me to judge how she does or does not engage with particular parts of her heritage. But there’s something discomfiting about Schmitz’s appeal to exculpation-through-genetics. Accused of anti-Semitism, he’s appealing to exactly the principle that many modern Jews have worked so hard to flee: that regardless of b…

We May Be Sacrificing Our Children to the God of the Gun — But it’s Not That the God Requires the Deaths

By Stephanie Frank

…ur Moloch,” written just after the Newtown murders nearly a decade ago, is best understood. He wrote, That horror [of the Sandy Hook shootings] cannot be blamed just on one unhinged person. It was the sacrifice we as a culture made, and continually make, to our demonic god. We guarantee that crazed man after crazed man will have a flood of killing power readily supplied him. We have to make that offering, out of devotion to our Moloch, our god. Th…

Maybe Trump Should Pray About His Problems With Religious Voters?

By Daniel Schultz

…appening. America’s Problem Child isn’t winning Jews, he’s doing his level best to piss off every Hispanic in the Sunshine State, and there just aren’t enough working-class whites to save him. He’s in real trouble. Actually, saying Trump’s in real trouble is wildly understating the case, but the RD editors expect a minimal dignity, so I really can’t put things as bluntly as I should. Here’s why (item two): Trump is stinking up the joint with Catho…

The Most Forgotten Queer Folks in the US are Fighting Back Against a Powerful — and Publicly Funded — Group That Discriminates With Impunity

By Chrissy Stroop

…to arouse the ire of every American who supports the idea that justice is best protected by a secular government. Religious organizations that wish to receive federal funding should be subjected to the same rules for recipients of that funding as secular organizations, and if they wish to violate the rules by discriminating against members of a protected class, that funding should simply be off-limits, whether we’re talking about adoption agencie…

The Rise and Fall of an American Gang: Religion as Camouflage?

By Spencer Dew

…and describing Moorish Science—which in many of its Chicago manifestations promotes a “sovereign citizen” ideology wherein Moorish nationalism is, counter to Noble Drew Ali’s original teachings, incompatible with American citizenship—as having the “primary objective” of “connect[ing] African Americans with a proud heritage, thereby circumventing the stereotypical picture of Africa, its inhabitants, and their black American descendants as savage an…

Did Mormon Morality Teachings Really Make it Harder for Elizabeth Smart to Run?

By Joanna Brooks

…ing responsible sexuality to young people will fall back on what they know best—in the worst cases resorting to spent chewing gum, or ruined donuts, or other punitive object lessons. Punitive and sexist folk doctrine does not in fact reflect the best of Mormon scripture or theology, which takes a positive view of human embodiment including the “fall” of Adam and Eve. And yet punitive rhetoric on sexual morality can be found in the historic writing…

Peter Beinart’s Controversial The Crisis of Zionism: Right Diagnosis, Wrong Treatment

By Shaul Magid

…ance, it’s excellent journalism. But it is not an indictment of Israel; at best it’s a lament, a jeremiad of one who yearns to give to his children what he received from his grandmother, a liberal Zionism that served as the humanistic founding of the State of Israel. Who can decry such a dream? Great vs. Important So why has this book evoked such animus? It’s not like it’s the only book on this subject written from the left. A number of far more “…

#OccupyWallStreet and the Antichrist

By Sarah Posner

…their ideas. Their think tanks, legal societies, lobbyists, talk radio and best-selling manifestos have trained, educated and financed two generations of writers and organizers. Conservative Christian colleges, both Protestant and Catholic, provide students with a more coherent worldview than do the more prestigious schools led by liberals. More recently, conservatives marshaled media outlets like Fox News and the editorial pages of The Wall Stree…

How to Wreck Your Faith: A Theologian Teaches “Outlaw Christianity”

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…at for certain.” As the tears fell he shook his head and said, “That’s the best answer anyone has given me.” Your response shows how much people are longing for that honesty. I’ve become someone who doesn’t leave people alone in their grief unless they want to be left alone. I call it the “sit with.” We’ve adopted it from Judaism, to sit shiva. You’re only allowed to make certain comments, and they have to be from Psalms, Lamentations or Ecclesias…

The Politically Incorrect Guide to Ramadan

By Haroon Moghul

…the Stockholm summer every summer.) But it’s in the Muslim world that you best get that special starvation feel of the holy month. The world reorients itself, so that people overeat, overpray, and oversleep. But all the same, a practice as fulfilling and renewing as Ramadan inspires its own subculture (if that’s what you call the habits and norms of well over a billion people), so I’ve adapted a specialized Ramadan dictionary first featured on my…
