Lila Rose Targets Planned Parenthood with Lies

By Sarah Morice-Brubaker

…boycott list in their daily shopping—go home and tune in to EWTN, read the latest blogs and decide what to pontificate about tonight. They don’t act, and they don’t worry anymore about results, except those which will be occasionally delivered through prayer. If we could pray away abortion, however, it would have been over a long time ago. And those are just a few examples. All of this raises the question of whether the tactic of deception—more, p…

Egyptian Riot Grrls: Finding the Feminine Face of Fury

By Beenish Ahmed

…This has led Mike Giglio, a correspondent for The Daily Beast, to dub this latest round of civil uprising in Egypt the Purity Protests. New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof wrote recently of his own experiences in Tahrir Square where two bold sisters confronted pro-government thugs, even as male protesters balked before the blades and clubs Mubarak’s hired men have been carrying to cut the mass movement down to size. Rallying a cry against…

Murder of Bangladeshi Girl Not Example of Shari’ah

By Hussein Rashid

The latest news out of Bangladesh is that a fatwa was issued for the caning of a 14 year-old girl, Mosammet Hena, because she had an affair with a married man. The girl was brutally beaten to death in this horrific crime. I can already see the way the AP is trying to frame the story as one of shari’ah gone wild. Let’s actually look at the facts of the case and how the Bangladeshis are reporting it. So-called shari’ah courts are banned in Banglade…

Religious Leaders Demand Apology from West for Anti-Islam Comments

By Sarah Posner

…e to the American values that you reference. Regrettably, this is just the latest example of your tendency to offer intemperate comments about Islam. At a town hall meeting during your campaign, you characterized Islam as America’s enemy and asserted, “Islam is a totalitarian, theocratic political ideology; it is not a religion.” Such untrue and inflammatory remarks intensify an unsettling trend of anti-Muslim rhetoric and fear in our country. The…

Hating God: The Untold Story

By Bernard Schweizer

…—in any case not worshipful. Is this just a modern twist on blasphemy, the latest development in the long history of iconoloclasm? Not really. There is a considerable pedigree for this anti-devotional attitude, starting, of course, with the Book of Job. I’m not referring to Job himself, who, after quarreling with God and questioning his justice, finally submits to the will and the wisdom of the deity. Rather, I am referring to Job’s wife, who, wit…

Beck Fuels End-Times Hysteria Over Egypt

By Anthea Butler

…ites every end-time theme; fire, riots, Islam, Israel, you name it. Beck’s latest assertion is that the Egyptian uprising will result in a Muslim Caliphate. Ridiculous, yes, but it is the dog whistle that calls together conspiracy theorists, rapture-watchers and end-times purveyors. His constant refrain that this is our “Archduke Ferdinand” moment no doubt will sear a vision of an impending World War III into the minds of his listeners, and his bl…

Pope Invites his Flock to Join Facebook: Is the Digital Reformation Here?

By Elizabeth Drescher

…I thought, as I headed to the backyard with a cup of coffee and Il Papa’s latest digital missive. “New Forms of Shared Awareness” I couldn’t possibly have expected the day to offer much more than a thumbs up from one of leading thinkers and activists on education, spirituality, and social change. But it turned out that the Pope seems to have cribbed much of my commentary on his 2010 letter on digital social media. Whereas that letter focused on t…

Merry Kitzmas! Marking An Evolutionary Victory

By Lauri Lebo

…olitical force, forcing creationists to shape shift their message into the latest anti-evolution attack. The battle is now back in Louisiana, the site of Dover’s precursor of Edwards v. Aguillard, in which creation science was struck down as religion in 1987. The strategy is now focused on “teaching the controversy.” Instead of actually claiming that they have a scientific claim, they now just try to instill doubt in students’ minds about the vali…

Former Navy Chaplain Worries Ending DADT will End “Gay Exorcisms”

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…ry has made him a hero to the religious right, a role he has embraced. His latest claim is that he conducted a “gay exorcism” on a lesbian servicemember, an incident he described on the David Pakman show: Klingenschmitt: As a chaplain I prayed with a young lesbian sailor who came to me and said, “Chaplain, I don’t like the way I’m feeling. Can you help me with this?” We prayed with her and she renounced her sin, she invited Jesus Christ to be the…

Air Force Speaking Invitation to Member of “Lord’s Army” Sparks Outrage

By Lauri Lebo

…ve long been critical of the Air Force Academy’s tolerance for, and indeed promotion of proselytizing and coercive evangelizing of cadets. MMRF’s objection to McClary is only the latest in a ongoing battle between MMRF and the Air Force Academy. MMRF became involved after one of its members who attends the academy complained about McClary, saying that attendance at the luncheon is technically optional, but “strongly encouraged.” According to MMRF…
