…ach other, to help each other and not to discriminate against each other…” Saudi Arabia: Prison and 450 Lashes for Gay Man Entrapped by Religious Police News outlets reported in late July that a 24-year-old Saudi Arabian man was sentenced to three years in prison and 450 lashes for “promoting the vice and practice of homosexuality.” He was reportedly entrapped by the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice when he tried to us…

Jewish State, Islamic State: All States are Religious

By Elizabeth Shakman Hurd

…, this is a political move and must be understood as such. For example: is Saudi Arabia a religious state? It depends who you ask—many Muslims for example argue that the Saudi state twists and misrepresents Islam such that they no longer identify that state as “religious” in any way. Is Israel a religious state? It depends upon whom you ask—many ultra-Orthodox Jews for example have opposed the Zionist project from the beginning. My point is that t…

The Intellectual Source Code For National Conservatism Can Be Found at This Niche Catholic Publication

By Peter Schwartz

…cultural conservatism in the United States. The foundation of this source code (the motherlode of the code, as it were) is Catholic natural law moral philosophy. Natural law is the 800-year-old Thomist tradition that absorbs (from revelation and scripture) and communicates (into public discourse and legal practice) a quite specific understanding of the human individual as the summit of God’s creation. First Things has hosted some of the most impo…

The ‘Unified Reich’ Scandal is a Feature Not a Bug of Trump’s Brand of American Fascism

By Annika Brockschmidt

…fact, be a fascist. Trump’s “Reich”-scandal is also symptomatic of what a new generation of historians like John S. Huntington and David A. Walsh have argued recently: that not only is there a native form of fascism to the US, but that the assumed “firewall” between “respectable” conservatism and far-right radicals, amongst them Neo-Nazis and fascist sympathizers, has either never existed at all—or has at the very least been very porous from the…

Even if Voters ‘Get What They Asked For’ it’s More Likely to Cause a Fascist Death Spiral Than a Lesson Learned

By Scott Coley

…[and] 12 social security cards,” whose tax-free income exceeded $500,000 in 2024 dollars. Another of Reagan’s favorite punchlines involved the fanciful notion that food stamps might enable “some young fellow [to cut in line] ahead of you to buy a T-bone steak” while “you were waiting in line to buy hamburger.” When Reagan first introduced the line about the T-bone steak, the food stamp recipient cutting in line was “some strapping young buck,” (“b…

With Election Takeaways Like ‘Too Transgender’ or ‘the US is Shifting Right,’ Dems are Determined to Learn the Wrong Lesson

By Chrissy Stroop

…ead or think about electoral politics; decades of right-wing radio and Fox News cleared the way for an even broader (and more radical) right-wing ecosystem that sows majoritarian grievances and conspiracy theories; legacy media outlets continue to legitimize right-wing narratives with their relentless bothsidesism; and social media, which has proven eminently susceptible to misinformation and the spread of conspiracy theories, is now thoroughly do…

Hulu’s ‘Hamilton’s Pharmacopeia’ Shows That We Can No Longer Ignore Connections Between Religion and Drugs

By Hollis Phelps

…tive effects, but the metaphor is more ambivalent. Himself a regular opium user, Marx knew its benefits as well. Religion may be the “opium of the people,” but that’s also because it’s a “protest against real suffering,” “the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of a soulless condition.” For the individuals presented in the episode, religion replaces methamphetamine, providing the “heart” and “soul” they once sought in a chemical substance. Mo…

Pagan Outrage Machine Fires Up in Response to Time Halloween Article

By Joseph Laycock

…sued The British Humanist Association for criticizing her methods; and in Saudi Arabia police have begun to track Twitter users suspected of spreading witchcraft. Going after journalists like Latson is not going to stop actual fear mongers from claiming that innocent people are part of occult conspiracies, and it’s certainly not going to affect persecution in Paraguay, Nigeria, and Saudi Arabia. So why waste the energy? At stake in the outrage ov…

It’s Theology, Not Baseball: Misunderstanding Iraq’s Sectarian Conflicts

By Amyn B. Sajoo

…sed to being clueless about Sunni and Shi’a Muslims — and whether Iran and Saudi Arabia were one or the other. In this worldview, the players might as well be baseball teams; all we need do is keep track of their colorful outfits and politics. Imagine planning an intervention in Northern Ireland with no idea as to what Protestant and Catholic identities are about. In this vein on the other side of the Atlantic, the Guardian columnist Jonathan Free…
