Moderate Muslims and the voices of anti-semitism

Our local National Public Radio station recently replaced in the early Sunday morning hour its really good religious program ("Sound and Spirit") with a moderately good religious program ("Speaking of Faith"). Among the first segments broadcast was one featuring an extensive interview with an American Muslim apologist, Omid Safi, a professor at Colgate and the editor of a collection of essays entitled "Progressive Muslims." Professor Safi sounds like a most interesting and attractive fellow, spiritually imaginative and intellectually lithe, warm, humanistic.

Catholic AIDS strategy clear

It always amuses me that someone can trace every evil of society to the Catholic Church. Joseph Barillari's editorial titled "Condoms and the Church: A Well-intentioned But Deadly Myth" should substitute the phrase "Safe Sex: A Well-intentioned But Deadly Myth."It is ridiculous to blame the Catholic Church's stance on birth control for today's HIV epidemic.

Make yours a 'rights protection life'

How appropriate. With reactionary pomp, the White House proclaimed last week "Marriage Protection Week," defining marriage exclusively as a "union between a man and a woman" and calling upon "the people of the United States to observe this week with appropriate programs, activities, and ceremonies." Appropriately, the Pride Alliance and LGBT Student Services hosted Awareness Week, and the Princeton Queer Radicals sponsored a love-in at Frist.

Condoms and the church: a well-intentioned but deadly myth

We can stop the spread of HIV overnight. We can do it tonight, in fact. A complete, dead stop. Zero new infections.All we have to do is convince everyone to give up extramarital sex and injection drugs.Regrettably, it's undoubtedly harder to dissuade the peoples of the world from engaging in random acts of body-fluid-sharing than it is to invent and distribute vaccines to cure blood-borne infections.
