Searching for Sex, Life and Abortion on Catholic Google

By Kate Childs Graham

…and DignityUSA, a group working for LGBT rights in the Church, topped the list. However, if you search for “homosexual,” an organization called Courage comes up. Courage is an organization which tried to convince gay and lesbian Catholics to be chaste. It was only a matter of time before someone figured out how to “save the children” from that anti-Catholic blasphemy out in cyberspace. Heaven forbid they know what a condom is! At least some organ…

Restoring Dignity: The Employee Free Choice Act

By Peter Laarman

…avoidance activities; 75% hire outside consultants (union-prevention specialists) who set up command centers within the company to wage all-out war on the union; 50% threaten to shut down operations to scare workers; and 25% illegally fire union supporters. These aren’t just economic issues or labor abuses; they are human rights issues, and they were recognized as such in a Human Rights Watch report issued in 2000. In the years since that report c…

Jewish Past/Israeli Future: A Review of The Invention of the Jewish People

By Shalom Goldman

…that prompted the readers to indulge me—the book stayed on the bestseller list for nineteen weeks. Sand explains this sharp split among his book’s Israeli readers by pointing to a widening gulf between Israeli’s public intellectuals, many of whom are critical of a strident nationalism based on Jewish ethnic solidarity, and his colleagues in the large history departments of Israeli universities, who are enmeshed in an academic system that separat…

Rarefied Islamophobia: When Americans Duplicate the European Cultural Talk

By Jocelyne Cesari

…ions within the primitive trappings of “The Green Peril.” Following a long list of European intellectuals such as Oriana Fallaci, Michel Houellebecq, and Caroline Forest, he argues that Europe is succumbing to an “Islamic culture” incompatible with its “core” political and cultural values. The intriguing question is: Why is Caldwell’s book receiving more attention in the American media (such as the front page of the New York Times Book Review sect…

No Turkey for Me: Confessions of an Indian Militant

By Johnny P. Flynn

…he years Indian militants have also been called communists, fascists, socialists, and radicals bent on destroying America. In fact, those names—which cancel each other out in any logical mind—have been applied in recent months to another tribal man, Luo of Kenya, who occupies the Oval Office at the moment. As an Indian militant I am discouraged, but not surprised, that the mainstream media has so far failed to recognize the stomp-down amazing fact…

Suicide Bombers and the Prozac God: A Review of Dying for Heaven

By Bruce B. Lawrence

…nger of religion. God as Prozac creates a paradigm shift for defense specialists requiring them to find the suspect Sufi mystics before their entranced followers go ‘self-annihilative’ and take down the world with them, as they blow themselves into a state of divinely mediated pleasure. The first suspects who spring to mind are: Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani, Hamza Yusuf, and Pir Zia Khan. All three are notable Sufi practioners in the diverse fie…

Will Hate Crime Laws Redeem Us All?

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…that Jesus is asking his followers then or now to simply give assent to a list of doctrinal statements about him and his alleged divinity, “because he was making no such claim,” she writes. Instead, Armstrong asserts, Jesus was asking his followers, then and now, for “commitment.” ”He wanted disciples who would engage with his mission, give all they had to the poor, feed the hungry, refuse to be hampered by family ties, abandon their pride, lay a…

The Eliminationists: How Hate Talk Radicalized the American Right

By Frederick Clarkson

…d up conservatives and put them in concentration camps—selling its mailing list to the Republican National Committee and doing all kinds of business with them. And that’s just scratching the surface. There’s a surfeit of these right-wing organizations who specialize in far-right wingnuttery that are closely enmeshed with the GOP’s Beltway operations. So trying to blame it all on a couple of prominent pundits doesn’t come close to addressing the re…

Does Liberal Theology Profane God?

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…ven listen to the album for fear that my mother would know that I was even listening to such language. But, as Southern Baptist Theological Seminary president Albert Mohler, Jr. rightly pointed out in a recent interview, when we’re forbidden in the Ten Commandments from taking God’s name in vain, it’s not just outlawing such phrases as “God damn,” or “Oh, my God!” For Israel, they knew, first and foremost, not to speak falsely about God. It’s not…

Liberal or Literal? James Wood, Terry Eagleton, and the New Atheism

By Nancy Frankenberry

…s own cards on the table: What is needed is neither the overweening rationalist atheism of a Dawkins nor the rarefied religious belief of an Eagleton but a theologically engaged atheism that resembles disappointed belief. Such atheism, only a semitone from faith, would be, like musical dissonance, the more acute for its proximity. It could give a brother’s account of belief, rather than treat it as some unwanted impoverished relative. It would be…
