Had they taken the time, they would have discovered that what these people do believe is actually quite constructive for ethical projects.

By Jay Michaelson

…d Jewish Funds for Justice, the latter of which had already swallowed up a number of smaller Jewish social justice organizations. I know several people who work at BtA, and I commend them on their ability to keep a secret. I and friends of mine plied several of these folks with drinks, but their lips stayed sealed. (I did find out that the org would have an action-verb in it, as is the fashion these days, but that’s all.) That being said, I’m not…

RDGenerations: Youth and Liberal Religion

By Lucia Hulsether

…ic about this organization’s mission. I was drawn to the group because its website described it as drawing from faith-based and social justice activists. But even though John Fife, a Presbyterian minister who founded the Sanctuary Movement, also co-founded this organization, anything even loosely “faith-based” was on the back burner.

Tony Perkins Has A Point

By Lauri Lebo

…epictions of Muhammad for its 200th episode caused a couple of guys with a website probably living in their parents’ basement to hint that someone could get hurt because the show hurt Muslim feelings. In response, South Park’s bosses at Comedy Central behaved like total weenies and censored the shows. And yes, it follows that if company executives were so worried about offending Muslims, shouldn’t they also be concerned with how Christians might f…

…yspring Bible College and Seminary in Mundelein, Ill. Photo via the school website. The Dayspring case offers a helpful reminder of the high stakes and weak alternatives. Even as Christian institutions such as Wheaton, Westmont, George Fox, and Gordon compete academically with prominent secular colleges, Dayspring and its ilk lay claim to specious exemptions, hoping to overcome their inferiority complexes through special considerations.

By Nathan Lean

…r hate group Stop the Islamization of Nations (SION) and, according to her website, still does. Civil rights groups have designated Spencer and Geller as anti-Muslim “hate group” leaders and they were banned from entering the UK (to attend an EDL rally with Robinson) precisely on those grounds. One has to wonder if that ban—which is a major blemish on their already-piss-poor record—factored into their sudden decision to steal Robinson’s thunder wi…
