By H.A. Hellyer

…th the utmost respect. After we ask them for their personal I.D. cards and search their trunks, we give them a password to speed things up at the next checkpoint, and we send a sign to the next check-point to let them know all is well. Today, we’ve added something less: are you with him, or against him? It was a different mood than yesterday. In traditional Muslim societies, its often been taken for granted that the existence of a bad ruler is bet…

New Study of Christian Nationalism in Texas Should be a Warning for the Whole Country

By David R. Brockman

…this way: If Google were aggressively lobbying for policies beneficial to “search engines,” no one would doubt that the greatest beneficiary by far would be Google itself.

Holy Grail is Found!

By Gwynne Watkins

The search for the Holy Grail is over—or so two Spanish historians claim. Pilgrims have been flocking to San Isidro basilica in Leon, Spain for the past week, in order to see a 2,000-year-old ebony cup that has been dubbed the original chalice of Christ. The crowds got so heavy, in fact, that the vessel was removed from display. But there are pictures of it all over the news. It looks like this: My first thought upon seeing photos of this ancie…

Don’t Let Bigoted Campaigns Sour You to the Revolutionary Idea of Religious Freedom

By Frederick Clarkson

…beach when they would normally be visiting the tombs of relatives. Others search in vain for the graves of loved ones lost in the conflict or hope in vain that those who simply disappeared will return. The “Rope of God” and hope for a more perfect world are all that they have. While the tsunami brought unprecedented destruction, it seems to have contributed to a peace process that began with the fall of the authoritarian military regime governing…

Dispatches from the Election: The 2008 Election and the Soul of America

By Glenn W. Smith

…e direction; fear, disorientation and dismay pull in the other. And when I search the national conversation for news of this epochal contest, I find talk of lipsticked pigs and of bridges built of pork. The thought suddenly intrudes that it was Piggy who died in The Lord of the Flies, and I wonder what ship might arrive to save us. The philosopher Jacob Needleman wrote a book called The American Soul. He acknowledged the difficulty of defining the…

But if elected Republicans aren’t afraid to question Obama’s religious commitments for the permanent record, think of what they might say to constituents in smaller settings, or the well that they are drawing from when they make remarks in Congressional sessions for which they receive no pushback…

Why Salma Hayek Adapting The Prophet for Screen Makes Sense

By Brook Wilensky-Lanford

…can.” Her ancestors left Lebanon in the late 19th or early 20th century in search of a better life, as did The Prophet’s author Kahlil Gibran. Gibran came to the U.S. 1895, at age 12, with his mother, two sisters and brother. Hayek, who is 47, has said that she was first introduced to The Prophet as a child by her grandfather. Like Hayek, Gibran spent most of his life and career outside of the country of his birth. Between his last visit to Lebano…
