First, this cannot be stated strongly enough: The battles over religious liberty, in Indiana and elsewhere, are far more important in principle than the individual issues within each skirmish. If freedoms of religion, conscience, and association go out the window, we’re doomed. In that light, here are two pieces responding to the Indiana mess:
Freedom of Association is Burned at the Stake in Indiana, by Deroy Murdock,
and
Can’t I Support Gays and Religious Freedom?, by Ross Kaminsky.
Now, speaking of scary religious developments, why is the U.S. Government supporting jihad?: America’s Academies for Jihad, by Ayaan Hirsi Ali.
(By the way, for you Mobilians, a tremendous expert on Islam and jihad lives right here. Dr. Norman McCrummen gives one heck of a powerful presentation. If you have a group and want to hear him, look him up!)
Now, onto other subjects….
