By Joseph Tolton

…n Uganda, with which I’m affiliated, is in partnership with LGBT groups in Africa and must respect their need to lead the way strategically. We also recognize that the roots of international homophobia are found here in the United States, from our very own brothers and sisters in Christ. Anonymous’ actions, while intended to fight oppression, perpetuate another form of oppression in their paternalistic attitude toward African people and government…

Fear of a New Jewishness

By Jacob S. Dorman

…ubsequently the great majority of Jewish immigration to the United States, South Africa, and elsewhere, was by no means the only or the normative condition that Jews have known in the course of history. In fact, the models of Judaism and Jewishness developed relatively recently in Eastern Europe—the object of much shtetl nostalgia among American Jews—may have shaped Ashkenazi Jewishness to be far more insular, and far more pale, than was the histo…

Pornographic War Gazing: Why We Don’t Look Away

By Daniel Martin Varisco

…t on where the most violence is erupting. Yet, as much as the story may be promoted as one of hope and liberation, the hook is all about devastation. The media do not make us; no wars are started because of what can be seen on a news broadcast. We news consumers are addicts, badnewsaholics. From video games to action films and thriller novels we not only consume wars; we get high from seeing the dark side played out. The Glittering Sword is Whet J…

By Daniel Silliman

…t airs in several major metropolitan areas, on the Internet and in Europe, Africa and Asia. It reaches mainland China from a station in Taiwan and is building a station to reach much of Southeast Asia. It also has expanded into television. Its signature show — ‘Open Forum’ — features Camping answering called-in questions, often rambling about obscure Biblical and religious references in his slow, deep voice. He repeatedly refers to Matthew 24, the…

Will Religion Finally Give Peace a Chance? Rising to the Challenge of Nonviolence as Armageddon Looms

By Peter Laarman

…d that was when they united behind a powerful campaign to end apartheid in South Africa. Sadly, there was no such unified religious support for the 20th century Black freedom movement in this country: a bitter testament to the extent of the colonization problem I referenced earlier, and yet more reason to be skeptical that the faithful will stand up now in solidarity with the wretched of the earth. There’s no magic elixir. Even supposing that “rel…

Ugandan Gay Rights Activist Murdered, US Evangelicals Must Take Responsibility

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…lity. “Those U.S conservatives who have lit the brushfire of homophobia in Africa have to bear some responsibility for this tragic death and for the conflagration that now threatens to consume all gay Ugandans.” Those U.S. evangelicals include Scott Lively, the former head of the California affiliate of the American Family Association. He and two others, including Don Schmierer, a board member of Exodus International, have led conferences and work…

The Only Surprising Thing About the ‘Demon Sperm’ Doctor’s Views Is That They’re Shared By Many Evangelicals

By Lenny J. Lowe

…missionaries once seemed to detect primarily in cultures of Africa and the African diaspora, traveled back in the stories and accounts of missionaries and helped to construct a thoroughly possessed American cosmological perspective. The discourse of spiritual warfare has become a kind of international Christian dialect. Still, whether one knows much about the movement or not, no one should be surprised to find its views trumpeted from the highest…

DeMint Stymies Obama’s Religious Diplomacy Nominee

By Sarah Posner

…ation realized those hurdles and isn’t, as Freedman reports, going to attempt to renominate her. As Anthea noted, “With all respect to Dr. Sujay, the issues of religious freedom around the world, from Muslim-Christian violence in Africa, to protests by Buddhist monks in Myanmar, to religious repression in North Korea, should not be entrusted to a person whose most recent speaking engagement included a May 2010 women’s conference called ‘Don’t Bloc…

Can White Jews Still Be White if They’re Reviled By White Supremacists?

By SJ Crasnow

…it from a capitalist economy primarily built upon economic exploitation of Africans, Native peoples, and the environment. While these circumstances benefited white Jews, they were not exempt from the effects of racist science. Nineteenth century racist science, which purported to provide physical evidence for the inferiority or superiority of peoples, was influential in shaping normative ideologies of belonging in the U.S. and political policy. In…

Where Were They Radicalized? No Answer is Complete Without Addressing Evangelical Churches and Schooling

By Chrissy Stroop

…cula “characterize Nelson Mandela as a ‘marxist agitator’ who helped drive South Africa to ‘radical affirmative action,’ and suggest that Satan hatched the idea of modern psychology.” For those who’ve been following events closely, that denunciation of policies promoting racial equality will likely recall the Trump administration’s twisted 1776 Report, which the White House released on Martin Luther King Day—Monday, January 18—as a clear racist do…
