Pat Robertson infuriates Christian faithful with Alzheimer’s comments

Pat Robertson has made many controversial statements over the years, such as suggesting that the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks were God's punishment for the U.S. tolerating abortion and homosexuality. His critics are usually those on the politically opposite spectrum of the conservative Christian leader, or outside the Christian faith

Roman Catholic sex abuse Report faults society for predator priests

Sexual abuse by Roman Catholic priests in the United States is a "historical problem" that has largely been resolved and that never had any significant correlation with either celibacy or homosexuality, according to an independent report commissioned by Catholic bishops and subjected to fierce attack even before its release on Wednesday.

Paul Haggis Vs. the Church of Scientology

Haggis was prominent in both Scientology and Hollywood, two communities that often converge. Although he is less famous than certain other Scientologists, such as Tom Cruise and John Travolta, he had been in the organization for nearly thirty-five years. Haggis wrote the screenplay for "Million Dollar Baby," which won the Oscar for Best Picture in 2004, and he wrote and directed Crash, which won Best Picture the next year - the only time in Academy history that that has happened.

One-State Solution to Israel Palestine

The three powerful monotheistic religions - Judaism, Christianity and Islam are responsible for the spilling of boatloads of innocent blood, not just back through history but in current time. And these religions show no sign that they plan to stop killing in the name of their competing mythologies.

Do Egyptians want both democracy and a role for religion in their government

The world is watching closely to see what kind of country may emerge from the latest popular revolt to rock the Arab world. Yet in the United States, the conversation-- as usual when it comes to the Middle East--seems fixated on the singular issue of Islam, and more specifically, on the role that the Muslim Brotherhood may play in Egypt's future.

Heroic, Female and Muslim

The greatest religious battles are often not between faiths, but within faiths. The widest gulfs are often not those that divide one religion from the next, but those between extremists and progressives within a single faith. And in this religious season, there s something that we can all learn from the courage, compassion and tolerance of Dr. Hawa Abdi.

Quran burning and US inconsistency

Barack Obama, the US president, has warned that threats to burn the Quran are a sure and effective way to swell the ranks of al-Qaeda. This may be true, but largely because such symbolic acts of 'Islamophobia' are widely viewed as verifying the perception that the US wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, along with its backing of Israel, are motivated by its hostility towards Muslims. The previously unheard of pastor of a small Florida church may have scrapped his plan to publicly burn hundreds of Qurans on the ninth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, but the threat alone has done untold damage to the already troubled relationship between the Muslim world and the West.

Through Islamic Center Debate, World Sees U.S.

For more than two decades, Abdelhamid Shaari has been lobbying a succession of governments in Milan for permission to build a mosque for his congregants - any mosque at all, in any location. Related Far From Ground Zero, Obscure Pastor Is Ignored No Longer he leads Friday Prayer in a stadium normally used for rock concerts. When sites were proposed for mosques in Padua and Bologna, Italy, a few years ago, opponents from the anti-immigrant Northern League paraded pigs around them. The projects were canceled. In that light, the furor over the precise location of Park51, the proposed Islamic community center in Lower Manhattan, looks to Mr. Shaari like something to aspire to. At least in America, Mr. Shaari said, "there s a debate."

Feisal Abdul Rauf’s Balancing Act in Mosque Furor

Not everyone in the Cairo lecture hall last February was buying the imam Feisal Abdul Rauf s message. As he talked of reconciliation between America and Middle Eastern Muslims - his voice soft, almost New Agey - some questioners were so suspicious that he felt the need to declare that he was not an American agent. Muslims need to understand and soothe Americans who fear them, the imam said; they should be conciliatory, not judgmental, toward the West and Israel. But one young Egyptian asked: Wasn t the United States financing the speaking tour that had brought the imam to Cairo because his message conveniently echoed United States interests? I m not an agent from any government, even if some of you may not believe it, the imam replied. "I m not. I m a peacemaker."

A Muslim victim of 9 11 ‘Build your mosque somewhere else’

I was born in pre-revolutionary Iran. My family led a largely secular existence -- I did not attend a religious school, I never wore a headscarf -- but for us, as for anyone there, Islam was part of our heritage, our culture, our entire lives. Though I have nothing but contempt for the fanaticism that propelled the terrorists to carry out their murderous attacks on Sept. 11, I still have great respect for the faith. Yet, I worry that the construction of the Cordoba House Islamic cultural center near the World Trade Center site would not promote tolerance or understanding; I fear it would become a symbol of victory for militant Muslims around the world.

Broadway and the Mosque

I greatly respect the feelings of those who lost loved ones on 9/11 which was perpetrated in the name of Islam and who oppose this project. Personally, if I had $100 million to build a mosque that promotes interfaith tolerance, I would not build it in Manhattan. I d build it in Saudi Arabia or Pakistan. That is where 9/11 came from, and those are the countries that espouse the most puritanical version of Sunni Islam - a version that shows little tolerance not only for other religions but for other strands of Islam, particularly Shiite, Sufi and Ahmadiyya Islam. You can study Islam at virtually any American university, but you can t even build a one-room church in Saudi Arabia.

Can We Talk

Augustus Richard Norton, of Boston University, a Shiite expert, said this about Fadlallah, whom he knew: He argued that women should have equal opportunities to men and be well educated. He even argued that women have a right to hit their husband back because it was not appropriate for a spouse to be beaten by their husbands. He was not afraid to speak about sexuality, and he even once gave [a mosque sermon] about sexual urges and female masturbation. It was common to find young people who followed his writings all over the region. Indeed, Nasr later explained that her tweet about Fadlallah was because he took a 'contrarian and pioneering stand among Shia clerics on women s rights.'

The Catholic Church continued to heap insult upon injury when it revealed its long-awaited new rules on clergy sex abuse, rules that the Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, said signaled a commitment to grasp the nettle with 'rigor and transparency.' The church still believes in its own intrinsic holiness despite all evidence to the contrary. It thinks it s making huge concessions on the unstoppable abuse scandal when it's taking baby steps.

Book Review – Nomad – By Ayaan Hirsi Ali

Nomad argues that Islam creates dysfunctional families like her own and adds that these distorted families constitute a real threat to the very fabric of Western life. Western countries, she says, should be less tolerant of immigrants who try to preserve their lifestyles in their new homelands. It might seem presumptuous to write another memoir so soon, but Hirsi Ali is a remarkable figure who has plenty of memories to record.

Sister Margaret’s Choice

We finally have a case where the Roman Catholic Church hierarchy is responding forcefully and speedily to allegations of wrongdoing. But the target isn't a pedophile priest. Rather, it's a nun who helped save a woman's life. Doctors describe her as saintly. The excommunication of Sister Margaret McBride in Phoenix underscores all that to me feels morally obtuse about the church hierarchy. I hope that a public outcry can rectify this travesty.

VATICAN CITY (AP) -- The Vatican responded Monday to allegations that it had concealed years of clerical sex abuse by making it clear for the first time that bishops and other high-ranking clerics should report such crimes to police if required by law. Victims have charged that the Catholic Church created what amounted to a conspiracy to cover up abuse by keeping allegations of abuse secret and not reporting them to civil authorities.

SC’s Father Newman says whoever voted for Obama shouldn’t receive Holy Communion

I grew up Catholic and did go to church quite often some years ago and I never heard any politics mentioned from the pulpit. This is beyond disgraceful, but in today's times it happens every day among the extreme religious right. C&Ler Jay emailed me the info: Dedication of the Lateran Basilica in Rome 9 November 2008 Dear Friends in Christ, We the People have spoken, and the 44th President of the United States will be Barack Hussein Obama. This election ends a political process that started two years ago and which has revealed deep and bitter divisions within the United States and also within the Catholic Church in the United States. Between these two visions of the use of lethal violence against the unborn there can be no negotiation or conciliation, and now our nation has chosen for its chief executive the most radical pro-abortion politician ever to serve in the United States Senate or to run for president. We must also take note of the fact that this election was effectively decided by the votes of self-described (but not practicing) Catholics, the majority of whom cast their ballots for President-elect Obama... 1. Voting for a pro-abortion politician when a plausible pro-life alternative exits constitutes material cooperation with intrinsic evil, and those Catholics who do so place themselves outside of the full communion of Christ s Church and under the judgment of divine law. Persons in this condition should not receive Holy Communion until and unless they are reconciled to God in the Sacrament of Penance, lest they eat and drink their own condemnation. read on Meg Kinnard writes: Conservative
