Civilization or Religion: Which Came First?

Last updated on: July 27, 2014 at 11:14 am By George G. Coe

Did civilization arise before religion or did religion arise before civilization? History books teach us that civilization arose with the Neolithic Revolution when hunter gatherers first settled down because of the discovery of agriculture. Settled life then led to cities, writing, and religion. The discovery of Göbekli Tepe in southeastern Turkey several years ago may change that story. Göbekli Tepe contains a series of circles with limestone pillars carved with bas-reliefs of animals like gazelles, foxes and wild boar. The... Read more

Muslim Hipsters Spark Controversy

Last updated on: July 27, 2014 at 11:24 am By George G. Coe

Does the video “objectify the Muslim female form” or does it simply show Muslim women as cool and fun? Not everyone agrees. Both NPR and the Huffington Post put up this video of young Muslim women wearing hijabs, skateboarding, walking around around and doing other random things to the music of the Jay-Z song “Somewhere in America.” It’s been both lauded and condemned. Some applaud it because of its “aesthetic beauty and depiction of Muslim women as modest, cool, and... Read more

US Ranks Near Bottom of Income Inequality

Last updated on: July 27, 2014 at 11:26 am By George G. Coe

< Pope Francis recently spoke about growing inequality in the world. “Just as the commandment “Thou shalt not kill” sets a clear limit in order to safeguard the value of human life, today we also have to say “thou shalt not” to an economy of exclusions and inequality.” Some criticized the Pope as being a Marxist. But the question remains, how unequal are we? Max Fisher put together the maps above for Atlantic Magazine. They show America near the bottom.... Read more

Reza Aslan Discusses Jesus with Evan Smith

Last updated on: July 27, 2014 at 11:27 am By George G. Coe

Reza Aslan, author of “Zealot, The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth,” outlines the argument of his book: that we can separate Jesus “the man” from Jesus “the Christ” and place Jesus “the man” as a product of the time and place in which he lived.

America’s Only Gay Iman

Last updated on: July 27, 2014 at 11:31 am By George G. Coe

Conservatives and liberals clash in every faith. Just last week, for example, the Methodist church defrocked a Pennsylvania minster for officiating the gay wedding of his son. Now, America’s only openly gay Muslim Iman, Daayiee Abdullah, faces criticism. He tells Aljazeera America that “some local imams have refused to greet him, and many others across the country argue his work performing same-sex marriage is not legitimate, and that he should control his “urges.” You can read more about Abdullah in...
