The moral asymmetry in the war on Iran (RNS) — Since 2018, it is the U.S. whose actions have been belligerent and framed by communications that often include invectives and sweeping threats.

Read my latest op-ed in @rns.org : "If we are to worry about who threatens the world, the answer cannot ignore the only country that has ever used nuclear weapons in war and, nonetheless, still claims the authority to decide who else may possess them." #Iran #war

Damn.

Trump Has a Pattern of Thinking He’s America’s Messiah This isn’t the first time he’s done this. Here are four other times Trump portrayed himself as a savior.

"Christians only have one savior, and his ministry was characterized by love, forgiveness, and mercy—traits that are in short supply as Trump continues to brutalize Iran," writes @revdrmichaelwoolf.bsky.social

Who is the man who appears to be dying?

We look at the number of people who have been killed and injured since the start of the US-Israeli war on Iran.

What did he say specifically about Sharia law? Was it in the Iranian or American context?

They say that Islamists oppose girls education, and then blow up a girls school killing dozens. If you fall for this bullshit about liberating Iran, when we are literally going to try to put the Shah’s son in power like we’re playing a video game, you are just not paying attention.

This is spot on 👇👇👇👇

“ICE Agent Choked Me - Then Quoted Jesus” Baptist Pastor Michael Woolf YouTube video by Freedom Watch Media

Check out this new short doc about my arrest and the moral emergency we find ourselves in in this country.“There’s absolutely no one coming to save us. There’s no one coming to save these people. There’s no one going to stand up for them except for the people who are here right now, who care.”

I'm afraid that in these 'debates', facts don't matter. There is political capital to be made on anti-Muslim posturing, regardless of reality.

I see your point. But I also imagine that those who pose a threat to Muslim Americans are not interested in reading information that counters their prejudice. And if they see it, they will ignore it or call it a lie.

organizations are so much more than their websites

BOOK LAUNCH: "Confronting Islamophobia in the Church" YouTube video by Chicago Area Peace Action

Missed @annapiela.bsky.social's and my book launch? No problem - it's recorded. Take a minute to listen to some great questions from our interviewer about Islamophobia and the importance of interfaith collaboration today. youtu.be/DqB29SnFcaM?...

www.eventbrite.com/e/why-would-... - Everyone welcome. Featuring me, @revdrmichaelwoolf.bsky.social, @jordandenariduff.bsky.social, Todd Green and Syed Atif Rizwan as facilitator #Islamophobia

These letters from the children imprisoned in Dilley concentration camp show that what is now a humanitarian disaster will get worse. These kids don’t want to stay in the US anymore. They just want to go to school.

I'm glad. And it's terrifying that so many Americans are religiously illiterate when it comes to non-Christian religions.

Thanks @ulaakuzi.bsky.social for this great interview with me and @revdrmichaelwoolf.bsky.social!

Damn

These orgs always emphasize that Muslims ought to follow the law of the land and #Sharia is relevant to personal lives, like ritual practices. Similar to Beth Din courts for Jews. Funny how nobody is yelling that Halacha must be banned.

In occupied Palestine, the eyes don't lie – Baptist News Global In response, a group of activists in Silwan began to paint giant murals of eyes all over the neighborhood as symbols of solidarity,

"Eyes can’t lie. I went to Palestine this past January, and what I saw with my own eyes is ethnic cleansing, apartheid and genocide. Israel is doing all it can to push the Palestinians off the land."
