Unfriendly Fire: Gays and National Security

March 19, 2009 islamoyankee

The NYT has the first chapter of the book Unfriendly Fire. The chapter is about how gay Arabic specialists were dismissed from the military for violating the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy. National Security or Religious Right? We know who won that fight.

ACLU’s new #torture Video: Justice Denied

The men in the video – Moazzam Begg, Omar Deghayes, Bisher al-Rawi, Ruhal Ahmed and Shafiq Rasul – were detained by the U.S. in Afghanistan and Guantánamo for years, without charge or trial, and without any meaningful opportunity to challenge their detention. In the weeks ahead, we will be releasing more videos that focus on these individuals’ lives before, after and during Guantánamo.

A Texan Talks Jesus

I like Thurman and read his blog regularly. One thing I would never associate with his blog is the art of the word. However, he tries to school us in some Jesus love and comes up with this wonderful line: “We should entice people to know God, not tell them to get used to it. We should be the signposts to greater faith, not the gatekeepers to greater exclusivity.” I think we should use if for our next PFBC.
