There is a key point of conjunction between Nicolai Sennels' October 22, 2015 No Compulsion posting "Psychology: Deradicalizing Muslim terrorists" and the Robert R Reilly's Four Principles of Winning a War of Ideas. That point of contact pertains to educated Muslims and radicalism. "...wars of ideas, by definition, can only be fought by and with people who think. This defines the natural target audience for this war, the so-called 'elites.' The term 'elite' is not determined by social or economic status, but by intellectual capabilities. Trying to use ideas to influence people who do not think is an exercise in...

The culture wars rage on in the battle over marriage. Despite the Supreme Court's decision to legalize "same-sex" marriage last summer, the battles over this radical ruling show no signs of letting up. Two of the victims of the "tolerance police" in New York state are Robert and Cynthia Gifford. The Giffords, owners of a small farm in upstate NY, occasionally allowed their farm to be used for wedding ceremonies. But when a lesbian couple called them to use the facility, that's when the trouble began. A couple who hosts occasional wedding ceremonies on their New York farm have lost...

As a bedtime story for my five-year-old daughter last night, I read Eric Carle's Does a Kangaroo Have a Mother, Too? It's a cute, nothing little book where every page asks the same answer about different kids of animals: "Yes! A kangaroo has a mother. Just like me and you." Sweet, right? No. Little did I know that I was being bigoted and transphobic by telling my daughter that everybody has a mommy. Up in Alberta, they're working to correct this sinful practice of identifying "mothers" by telling teachers to stop using words like "mother," "father" "Mr." and "Mrs." to...

Trump's feud with Kelly has been one of the most memorable storylines of this raucous GOP primary. In recent weeks, it has heated up. In a lengthy Vanity Fair profile this month, Kelly boasted of writing the now famous debate question about Trump’s history of misogynic comments, which ignited the feud this summer. And last week, Kelly sarcastically brought up Sarah Palin's Trump endorsement, as well as hosted National Review editor Rich Lowry to promote the National Review’s anti-Trump issue. Trump’s campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, indicated that Trump could walk away from the debate if Fox won’t exclude Kelly. “Let’s...

PRINCETON, N.J. -- The American public estimates on average that 23% of Americans are gay or lesbian, little changed from Americans' 25% estimate in 2011, and only slightly higher than separate 2002 estimates of the gay and lesbian population. These estimates are many times higher than the 3.8% of the adult population who identified themselves as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender in Gallup Daily tracking in the first four months of this year. Trend: Just your best guess, what percent of Americans today would you say are gay or lesbian? The stability of these estimates over time contrasts with the...

The Intercept put Wyllys in its headlines, praising his background of homosexual...

They are about to become law in Italy, but the pope is discouraging Catholics from raising the barricades. He did the same thing in Argentina. But there's a difference in his politics on immigration, poverty, Islamic radicalism ROME, January 15, 2016 -- Jorge Mario Bergoglio likes his crowds festive and prayerful, never politically aggressive. In Buenos Aires, in 2010, he sent back home the Catholics who had gathered in front of parliament for a prayer vigil against the imminent approval of homosexual marriage. He persuaded them to "avoid the impasse." Of course, in that law Bergoglio saw in action nothing...

Eight-year-old Ethan Wilwert wanted one special thing for Christmas—not a puppy, nor, thankfully, a hoverboard. Ethan wanted an in-person makeup tutorial at the MAC Cosmetics store in his family’s local Florida mall. “A couple of months before Christmas, he and I were at the mall, and we went into the MAC store,†Ethan’s mom, Season Wilwert, told The Daily Beast. “He’s always been interested in makeup. It’s something he likes to do creative-wise. It’s something he gets excited about. He watches a lot of online tutorials.†In fact, Wilwert laughed that Ethan is already helping her do her own. “He...

The Secret, Hypocritical Gay World of ISIS (Tim Teeman, Daily Beast, January 6, 2016) makes important, original points, about the young male sexual exploitation victim who was executed, according to the Sharia view of sex victims as the guilty party, while the older perpetrator was allowed to be sent off to the Isis fighting front to save his honor. But Teeman misses at least two important, larger contexts: First, sanctioning sexually active male homosexual behavior while vilifying the sexually passive male homosexual role, is part of a millenia-old pattern that was typical, possibly of several great world civilizations, certainly of...

Ted Cruz has associated himself with a man who says the Catholic Church supports pedophilia; and Christians should execute homosexuals. If Cruz becomes the Republican nominee this would destroy any chance he might have of defeating Hillary Clinton. If this doesn’t stir his supporters to think twice, it ought to. On Friday, November 6, 2015 Cruz attended a campaign rally in Des Moines, Iowa, hosted by a Colorado pastor who frequently calls for putting gay people to death. The Pastor, Kevin Swanson, is well known for calling for Christians to execute homosexuals just the same as the Islamists do and...

Chief Justice Roy Moore of the Alabama Supreme Court on Wednesday issued an order that the state’s probate judges, the only ones in the state who are allowed to issue marriage licenses, are to follow the state's Sanctity of Marriage Amendment and the state's Marriage Protection Act until the full state Supreme Court rules on the issue. In other words, stop granting marriage licenses to same-sex duos, even though that was the intent of the U.S. Supreme Court’s Obergefell decision last summer. "Until further decision by the Alabama Supreme Court, the existing orders of the Alabama Supreme Court that Alabama...

The year 2015 was a landmark one for same-sex couples in America—the Supreme Court made marriage equality the law of the land, and even before the decision, some 390,000 gay couples had already gotten hitched in states like Massachusetts and New York. The Washington Post projected that number would increase nationwide to 500,000 by the end of the year. What makes these newly married couples unique is more than their gender. Surveys indicate that a high percentage of same-sex relationships—particularly among queer men—are non-monogamous, and often even after marriage.

ISIS terror thugs killed a teenage boy for being 'gay' - but the man who raped him was just demoted and sent to the front lines. The 15-year-old boy was arrested by ISIS militants on charges of homosexuality and he was thrown from the top of a building in central Deir ez-Zor, Syria. “The horrific execution took place in front of a large crowd,†a local media activist who witnessed the killing told Syrian news agency ARA .

The National Rifle Association, the country's most influential gun-rights supporter, is challenging President Obama's new plan to use his presidential power to tighten firearms laws, calling it a "political stunt" that fails to increase public safety. President Obama said this weekend that he'll meet Monday with Attorney General Loretta Lynch to discuss his "options†toward curbing gun violence, after ordering his White House team several months ago to identify "new actions" that he can take. The president also said that he's taking action because Congress has failed to act. He is expected to use so-called executive orders to tighten federal...

Suspicious neighbors and landlords pry into their private lives. Blackmailers hunt for victims on the social media sites they use to meet other men. Police officers routinely stop them to search for incriminating images and chats on their cellphones. After an anti-gay law went into effect last year, many gay Nigerians say they have been subjected to new levels of harassment, even violence. They blame the law, the authorities and broad social intolerance for their troubles. But they also blame an unwavering supporter whose commitment to their cause has been unquestioned and overt across Africa: the United States government

During a lunch break at The Atlantic LGBT summit Thursday, attendees were invited to watch an informal panel discussion on transgender civil rights. Panelists included several transgender activists, as well as several non-trans panelists included for their expertise on legal issues (such as Equal Employment Opportunity Commissioner Chai Feldblum) or proximity to the conversation (such as an Atlantic staff writer who covers social justice). This, it turns out, was problematic.
