Like the Bible? You’ll Love a ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ T-shirt — How AI Marketing Shapes Identity

By Lauren Horn Griffin

…interests, for some this incident revealed that the people controlling the code have a lot of power. If one thinks that marketing agents put “Bible” in the code, then they might think of them as predatory, or presumptuous about U.S. Christians and their political affiliations. They might become angry that companies have such power in shaping the public’s perception of Christianity and, indeed, in shaping Christians’ own ideas about their communiti…

Brownback Nomination Further Evidence That “Religious Freedom” Is Code For “Conservative Christian Supremacy”

By Sunnivie Brydum

…ement policies in respective regions or countries, and develop programs to promote religious freedom.” But given Brownback’s history of using “religious freedom” as a sword to discriminate against LGBT people, his nomination offers the strongest evidence yet that, when the Trump administration talks about “religious freedom,” it actually means “Christian supremacy.” Though Brownback an equal-opportunity excluder: the Council on American-Islamic Re…

A Long History of Blaming the Jews

By Gordon Haber

…nd 1600. But this discussion has little to do with the supposed rebirth of Western culture. Nirenberg highlights the ironic contradictions between the scarcity of Jews in Western Europe and the frequent allegations of Judaizing. Martin Luther accused his Papist opponents of “legalism,” “Pharisaism,” and of course, “Judaism”; the Papists, in turn, accused Luther of getting his ideas from the Jews. Such accusations were especially prominent in Spai…

Are Muslims Nuts?

By Haroon Moghul

…the West, such as Libya and Tunisia in some respects, and others that are Western institutionally (Turkey in NATO) or simply altogether and undeniably Western (Bosnia, Albania, Kosovo). These should be the basis of future relationships. We’re willing to pour billions of dollars into the machinery of conflict, but don’t want to sustain exchange programs, educational cooperation, or international visitors programs at nearly the same pace. We have t…

The Dark Horse ‘Stop the Steal’ Scenario: NAR Leaders Sought ‘Trojan Horse’ in Election Offices Filled with ‘Christian Patriots’

By Frederick Clarkson

…m leaders of the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) which have loomed over the 2024 election since the last presidential election. Many leaders of the NAR participated in the Stop the Steal activities before, during, and since January 6th, and many remain election denialists. But what’s gone largely unnoticed are efforts, by this, perhaps the most significant religious movement of the 21st century, to train people to infiltrate election offices as el…

The Elite Movement Laying the Foundation for a MAGA That Will Outlast Trump and Remake America: Inside NatCon Part I

By Ben Lorber

…blishment (which, as they like to say, “has failed to conserve anything”), today the movement is closer to the heart of power than ever. NatCon III features speeches from leading MAGA politicians like Senators Josh Hawley, Marco Rubio and Rick Scott; rising standard-bearers like hard-right Arizona Senate candidate Blake Masters; and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, whose hour-long plenary after dinner on the first night reads like a stump speech for…

Is Islamic Homophobia a Western Import?

By Omar Sarwar

…r that much of the homophobic legislation we see in postcolonial societies today is an expression of the Victorian ethos. That’s why Pakistan (where Islam is most widely practiced), India (where Hinduism is most widely practiced), Singapore (where Buddhism is most widely practiced), and Zambia (where Christianity is most widely practiced) all still have variations on the same British anti-gay penal code. Yet, although EHT might explain the infiltr…

Among the Problems with Trump’s Proposed Ban: Who is a Muslim?

By Michael Schulson

…tainted by some kind of Muslim heritage. This may sound strange to modern Western readers, in part because we live in a place and time of enormous personal choice, where religious affiliation feels like one flexible part of a curated identity, rather than a fixed inheritance. For a quick reality check: by today’s standards, Blumenbach was no great scientist. In his scholarship, major sources of evidence included the Book of Genesis and the aesthe…

‘Anti-Romeo’ Vigilante Squads Target Men Suspected Of Being Gay; More in the Global LGBT Recap

By Peter Montgomery

…l Justice Reform “has lambasted the Aceh administration’s Islamic criminal code bylaw, or Qanun Jinayat, saying it could potentially provoke discrimination and over-criminalization of LGBT communities and other vulnerable groups.” The Aceh province is governed by the conservative Islamist legal code. Notes the Jakarta Post: Qanun Jinayat imposes criminal sanctions on both Muslims and non-Muslims found to have consumed liquor, dated in public or ca…

How Can the Former President’s Opponents Repudiate His Fascist Rhetoric Without Giving Him the Publicity He Craves?

By Jeremy L. Sabella

…ocratic turnout. Trump understands that if the abortion issue dominates the 2024 campaign, his bid may well be doomed. So he’s seeking to elicit a reaction so visceral and powerful that it overshadows abortion rights. This is precisely what making the election about his use of fascist tropes would accomplish. The 2024 election will either be about abortion rights, or it will be about Trump. One way or another, it will be a referendum. Which framin…
