Talking With the “Religious Terrorist” that Turkey Wants Trump to Extradite

By Mark Juergensmeyer

…in meeting him. (Full disclosure: since I had already planned to be on the East Coast on that day, the movement did not provide for my airfare or any compensation for this visit, aside from an omelette at an I-Hop on the road from Newark airport). Three other scholars were also invited to the meeting; we were a group of Christians, Jews, and Muslims. When we were introduced Gulen attempted to rise from his chair. He swayed and tottered a bit, and…

Wearing White is Not Enough: A Conversation with Cherisse Scott of SisterReach

By Anita Little

…has posed itself as Christian love, but is as far away from Christ as the East is from the West. We’re trying to figure out where the compassion is for women’s lives and the lived experiences that we have—regardless of race, class, or gender, social economic status, or even sexual orientation. None of those things seem to matter to this administration. The only thing that seems to matter to them is undoing some of the very important work that was…

The Irony of Moral Panic over Surplus Men

By Patricia Miller

…tion imbalance after the Civil War and a dearth of marriageable men on the East Coast as men went West to make a living. By 1880, a third of the women living in New England and the Mid-Atlantic hadn’t gotten married by their thirtieth birthday. There was an estimated surplus of 60,000 single women in Massachusetts alone. In 1883, suffragist Lillie Devereux Blake told a congressional committee investigating the problem of “surplus women” that marri…

For Trump Admin, Immigration is About Race and Identity

By Aryeh Cohen

…red by Christians, Jews, and Muslims) stretching across Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa. The common denominator of these institutions is that they did not rely upon political boundaries to relieve suffering. The religious traditions of hospitality, refuge, and sanctuary created the vibrant multiform culture of diversity, welcome, and innovation that many of us claim as American. However, religious traditions of exclusion and purity rear…

The Children of Bellow and Roth: New Book of Short Fiction Takes On the Male Jewish Experience

By Stephanie Russell-Kraft

…A. and because he’s Jewish, people assume he has an interest in the Middle East, but he has no idea what’s going on. If you’re a member of a non-dominant cultural group it’s often assumed that you see your identity in a political way. I wasn’t overtly saying this, but the character gets forced into some sort of political role anyway. I was more interested in seeing him trapped in a situation through his own mistake. He’s just trying to get laid, a…

Crucifying the Prairie: An Eco-Theology of Resistance for Good Friday

By Jacob J. Erickson

…sacrifice area in order to run television sets and air conditioners on the east and west coasts.” And he followed through on that commitment in his speech. “When the Landscape is Quiet Again” became a call for cautious energy development and an “environmentally sound method of utilizing our precious coal and water resources.” In Link’s time, he envisioned a future, a quiet landscape where land is restored and reseeded for the benefits of future ge…

The Heart of Texas Ain’t Hateful: An Open Letter to Lawmakers From a Texan Trans Queer Latinx

By Robyn Henderson-Espinoza

…not out of respect for our state’s political history of welcome, then at least with reverence to the many faith traditions in Texas that offer friendship and hospitality to the stranger. As with many of you, I am sure, faith was a central piece of my upbringing. In Longview, I learned the value of welcome when the Baptist church down the road from my house had a bus ministry that picked me up every week for Sunday School and worship service. In S…

Here Comes President Boo Boo: Trump’s Tour as Reality TV

By Spencer Dew

…ped from such aggressive documentary techniques is, if not a misnomer, at least misleading: this is “realness television”—not reality, but something closer to that religious terminology invoked by the MTV crew. This is television confessional. The subject, once put within the constraints of the filmmaker’s structure—put on a locomotive like the one used to transport Jews to the death camps, as in Lanzmann’s case, or locked in a luxury house with v…

Another Far Right Theocrat Shows up on the Trump Team

By Julie Ingersoll

…h is framed as persecution from the Trump Administration—but there are at least two other places to keep an eye Sekulow’s influence. ACLJ has developed an international presence and launched The East African Center for Law and Justice in 2010 when several African countries were revising their constitutions. They worked to secure privileged status for “biblical principles,” including the outlawing of abortion (even when the mother’s life was in dan…

A Boundary-Busting Memoir of Love, Mental Illness, and Being Muslim in America

By Haroon Moghul

…vari. I get that it’s about the origins of modern Europe, but why does the East have to be such a malicious place? What’s your next book? I’m working on three novels, a proper trilogy, that I can best describe as a cross between science fiction, Bollywood, and alternative history. The first, Americans, takes place in the 21st and 17th centuries, and tells the story of two best friends who get stranded outside each other’s timelines and try to find…
