Hajj Journal: Friday Salat al Jumu’ah in Haram al-Sharif

By Amina Wadud

…r new favorite spot, just in front of the sa’iy on the third floor. At the latest it was 8:00 a.m. The prayer begins at 12:00. What do you think, were we too early, or just in time? By two hours before the prayers, the chaos started and people began to jostle for nonexistent space. One guy who sat behind me actually had his feet pointing sideways away from the qiblah. Eventually he even faced to the back, because there really was no space for him…

Beck’s Distortions Of It’s A Wonderful Life Mirror His Distortions Of Current Events

By Lauri Lebo

…aunching the Tea Party movement with his on-air rant about the government “promoting bad behavior” by offering foreclosure assistance. In another strange point, apparently in response to my statement that he’s trying to turn the movie into “a rallying cry for the conservative anti-government Christian right,” Beck asserted that Life clearly is a Christian movie, because it is a Christmas movie “with an angel and God.” Yes, it’s a Christmas movie,…

The Tea Party are Sodomites

By Jay Michaelson

…applying to many more straights than gays. (Indeed, to more teenagers: the latest surveys show that 55% of teens have had oral sex, including over 87% of non-virgins.) Then again, in America, these “neutral” sodomy laws were almost always prosecuted against gays only, and since the medieval period there has never been any doubt as to who the real Sodomites are, notwithstanding the broader definition. Jordan goes further, arguing persuasively that…

Ending DADT = Draft?

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…them. Too bad that the military’s own survey of the troops show that this latest scare tactic from DADT opponents for what it really is: a lie. Leaked results of the military survey showed that 70 percent of soldiers said they “expected positive, mixed or non-existent effects from lifting the ban.” Since the survey doesn’t show the results Perkins and others like Arizona Senator John McCain want – then the survey must be flawed. ”[T]his study was…

Wojnarowicz’s Ant-Covered Jesus: Blasphemy or Religious Art?

By S. Brent Rodriguez Plate

…ible.” I wonder where that society went, or if it ever really existed. The latest blasphemous event came to a head in the last few weeks as the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery caved under well-placed protests to remove David Wojnarowicz’s artwork, A Fire in My Belly from the NPG’s exhibition, “Hide/Seek: Difference and Desire in American Portraiture.” The story has been well-trod in all the major press outlets, while blog blitzes from the…

Facebook: Internet Highway to Hell

By Anthea Butler

…e pimped out on the internet by perverts. Now, social media has become the latest “sinful” activity. Perhaps Rev. Miller should get on the phone to Sarah Palin, and counsel her about her kids’ activity on Facebook. Bristol Palin found time from her “Dancing with the stars” practice to get on Facebook with her sister Willow to ride on a friend who had the chutzpah to say “Sarah Palin’s Alaska is failing so hard right now.” Willow’s response was to…

US Catholic Bishops Elect a Culture Warrior

By Marian Ronan

…Catholic Worker, because priests had authored three of the articles in the latest issue—clearly more than she was looking for. This brings us to the election of Archbishop Dolan as president of the USCCB. As previously noted, the archbishop is a cordial and well-spoken man, so I’m sure he was gracious to his defeated opponent, Bishop Gerald Kicanas of Tucson. But his election is not a good sign. As the New York Times mentions, this is the first ti…

Gays Attacked in Uganda After Mag Publishes Info

By Jody May-Chang

…ishers simply wait for the temporary order to expire. Reading parts of the latest round of outings Kiyimba shouts, “They do not understand what they are doing! They are ruining the lives of these young people. These are just kids, nineteen or twenty years.” In Uganda, Kiyimba says, “everybody knows everybody for four square miles.” When someone’s name appears in the paper, “life is over.” While he was in the U.S., three high school boys in Kiyimba…

Bishop Among Those “Outed” by Ugandan Tabloid

By Jocelyn Edwards

…erosexual Anglican Bishop Christopher Senyonjo. His inclusion was only the latest example of the persecution that the bishop has faced for speaking out on behalf of the country’s embattled homosexual community. The Ugandan Rolling Stone (no affiliation to the US publication), which has outed almost 30 gays and lesbians over two of its issues, epitomizes the heightened discrimination that gays and lesbians and their allies have faced following the…

Dear Scientists: Please Stop Bashing Free Will!

By John Horgan

…ysical law,” the physicist Stephen Hawking writes in The Grand Design, his latest bestseller, co-written with Leonard Mlodinow, “so it seems that we are no more than biological machines and that free will is an illusion.” Similarly, the neuroscientist Sam Harris, author of The End of Faith, contends in his new book The Moral Landscape that “no account of causality leaves room for free will.” He adds, “Our belief in free will arises from our moment…
