    "Islamophobia" In this article by Omer Bin Abdullah (March/April), Mr. Abdullah tries to convince people that the religion of Islam is one of peace and goodness. No doubt there are many good people in Islam, but their religion is not one of peace. Their book, the Holy Quran, speaks on this topic. In Sura 9:29

    However effective Quine's dismantling of Kant's analytic- synthetic distinction (arguing that it's all just semantics)– liberal political activism, which seeks to remove any conception of "the good life" from political discourse, does essentially the same with such antipodal linguistic inanities as "neutral values." This common phrase, devoid of even the most basic reason and ration-ality,

  • In Pursuit of a Phantom0

    Since Everson 1many have asserted that the First Amendment's religion clauses require government to be neutral toward religion. This requirement is not merely peripheral; "neutrality" has been a dominant theme of religious freedom.

Much of the foregoing discussion has tried to show, in essence, that the ideal of religious neutrality is

  • A Presbyterian Nation, Thank You0

    Pronouncements that the United States of America is a Christian nation are fascinating. They sprout like mushrooms after a bad rain, especially around Independence Day and the National Day of Prayer, and usually from the lips of irreligious politicians. In fact, the historical evidence conclusively proves that the United States is not a Christian nation

  • When Faith Heals0

    Liberty (January/February 1998) ran "When Faith Kills," by Steven Gey, which explored the thorny issue of religious freedom and alternative methods of healing when children are involved. The title itself suggested negative conclusions about the efficacious nature of this practice. This article attempts to present a more balanced perspective. Though adults have the right to

    In case they didn't know it already, Tennessee public school students have the right to pray in a public school, vocally or silently, alone or with other students; the right to express religious viewpoints in a public school; the right to speak to and attempt to persuade other students in a public school about religious
