Muslim moderates, Muslim secularism

The New Neo Posted on May 24, 2007 by neoAugust 4, 2007

Here’s a must-read (and it’s relatively short, too) by Robert Spencer on the topic of Muslim secularism. We often speak of the need for moderate Muslims. And it’s undoubtedly true that some Muslims are indeed moderate. But as Spencer points … Continue reading →

The chocolate Jesus and “Sensation” for sensation’s sake: art, culture, religion, and politics

The New Neo Posted on March 30, 2007 by neoJanuary 4, 2012

The news that a sculpture entitled “My Sweet Lord” (after the Beatles song, no doubt, crossed with Tom Waits)—due to debut at a New York Hotel and consisting of a six-foot tall anatomically correct chocolate Jesus—has been canceled, conjures up … Continue reading →

Wars, civil and/or religious: Part II (religious war)

The New Neo Posted on October 19, 2006 by neoSeptember 19, 2007

We in the modern west have grown unused to the concept of religious war. In fact, the very term seems un-PC, like the word “crusade.” Wars of religion have come to be regarded as mere screens for other motivators: socioeconomic … Continue reading →

Parsing the Pope’s words; having a “dialogue”

The New Neo Posted on September 25, 2006 by neoJuly 25, 2009

The Pope hosted Moslem leaders in a conference today, giving a five-minute speech that sounded conciliatory, at least from the short excerpts published (I can’t find a full transcript). Although he didn’t offer an apology for his previous remarks, the … Continue reading →

Conversations on conversion

The New Neo Posted on September 5, 2006 by neoJuly 25, 2009

Alexandra is incensed at Bill Maher for making light of forced conversion to Islam. Maher isn’t one of my favorites (surprise, surprise, you say), and I don’t really tend to follow his shows. But in a comedy routine (video here; … Continue reading →

Must-read: on Israel, chosenness, supercessionism

The New Neo Posted on August 30, 2006 by neoJuly 25, 2009

Richard Landes of Second Draft and Augean Stables has written what just might be the definitive answer to those who–like Norwegian writer Jostein Gaarder–accuse Israel of heinous crimes and intents based (among other things) on the accusers’ complete misunderstanding of … Continue reading →

Islamist totalitarianism

The New Neo Posted on June 27, 2006 by neoSeptember 18, 2007

I’ve written before about the dilemma of choosing a term to describe our enemies in this war. Islamofascists? No, not exact enough; and misleading, hearkening back to our World War II enemies who had different political ideologies and methods. Islamic … Continue reading →

Islam: tear down this wall

The New Neo Posted on June 25, 2006 by neoJuly 25, 2009

San Francisco is one of the most “progressive” (read: liberal) cities in the US. And, as this NY Times article describes, there’s a movement there to modernize Islam, at least in a small way. As part of renovations to the … Continue reading →

The sea of faith: the ebb and flow of religion

The New Neo Posted on April 19, 2006 by neoAugust 16, 2007

Starting in the mid-1800s, the Welsh Presbyterian Church was active in proselytizing, sending missionaries around the world. One of the places those missionaries went was Mizoram, an area of northeast India. They were wildly successful there with a tribe called … Continue reading →

The New Neo Posted on March 31, 2006 by neoJuly 25, 2009

Shrinkwrapped has written a series of thought-provoking posts on the survivor guilt of post-WWII Europeans, and how they might be dealing with it. Well worth reading. Three parts have been already written, and a fourth is planned. He writes of … Continue reading →

The New Neo Posted on March 29, 2006 by neoJuly 25, 2009

Now that the case against Abdul Rahman has been dropped, Italy’s Silvio Berlusconi has offered him sanctuary: “I say that we are very glad to be able to welcome someone who has been so courageous,” Premier Silvio Berlusconi said. Berlusconi … Continue reading →

The New Neo Posted on March 15, 2006 by neoSeptember 18, 2007

Sigmund Carl & Alfred has written a post that tells a story I’d not heard before, of “The Mosque that Sheltered Jews.” The rescue occurred in France during the German occupation of WWII. Here are some details: The mosque-based resistance … Continue reading →
