By Joanna Brooks

…ays and lesbians and indefensible to those not of our faith. After running online for hours, Crall’s editorial disappeared from the Web edition of The Daily Universe by the morning of September 8. (I called The Daily Universe’s Editor in Chief on September 8 at about 11 a.m. PST to inquire about the status of the article; my call was not returned.)

…d the Arab Spring have dramatically reshaped opportunities for Saudi women’s rights activists to publicize and grow their campaign.

…ymous they may be, but brave they are as well. The other comment I’ve seen online among alumni is that some find the webzine offensive: “harsh,” “poorly written,” or hyperbolically, “hate speech” and “pornography.” Harding University President David Burke said, in an address to the college’s daily chapel audience, that he couldn’t even state the name of the website, HUQueerPress.com, because the “address itself is offensive to me.” (Is it the word…

The Uneasy Coexistence of the Cairo Rumor Mill with Muslim Principle of Isnad

By H.A. Hellyer

…sion continues. As the situation unfolds in Cairo, we see that significant numbers (if not compared to their opposition) of pro-Mubarak supporters have come out onto the street. All sorts of rumors abound about them, as well as about the anti-Mubarak supporters – and it’s hard to sift through it all. There are rather more rumors about the pro-Mubarak supporters being paid to go protest, by pro-Mubarak businessmen, although similar stories abound a…

A Norwegian boy fended off a pack of wolves by terrorizing them with a song by the slightly Christian band Creed. German…

A number of famous personalities joined the protests after Friday prayers—including, significantly, Amr Moussa (the former foreign minister of Egypt, and Secretary General of the Arab League). The Mufti of Egypt declared he would resign if a single protestor were harmed; but there was no sign today at Tahrir Squ…

God-Haters Can Be Great Company

By Bernard Schweizer

…portant point—that very point has not gotten across. Jake Meador’s review, online at Christianity Today, is a case in point. I truly appreciate the favorable things he has to say like “Schweizer has written an engrossing history.” At the same time, I feel that I need to set the record straight regarding the main quibble that he has with my book.

…rned to the craft of the Sunday homily, many of which he filmed and posted online in later life. His way of celebrating the Eucharist was just that, a ritual celebration, a theatrical event whose artistic gravity was never far from his mind. These are among his most moving weekly artistic creations. But Father Matthew Kelty also turned to the written word. His personal correspondence has the quality of a poem, where words discover a gentleness tha…
