POPSTablet ignites debate on messiah and resurrection "This should shake our basic view of Christianity," he said as he sat in his office of the Shalom Hartman Institute in Jerusalem where he is a senior fellow in addition to being the Yehezkel Kaufman Professor of Biblical Studies at Hebrew University. "Resurrection after three days becomes a motif developed before Jesus, which runs contrary to nearly all scholarship. What happens in the New Testament was adopted by Jesus and his followers based on an earlier messiah story."

POPSIslam and Secularism Volkhard Krech, professor for religious studies , has come to the conclusion that some religious traditions, such as Judaism and Protestantism, represent "secularization factors." Other faiths, such as Islam and evangelical churches have a tendency to combine a strong sense of both national and religious identity, mixing politics with religion. The Berlin Islamic scholar Gudrun Krämer made clear that a "massive rejection" of secularism prevails in most Muslim countries. In Islamic discourse, secularization is regarded as a "hostile takeover" of Muslim society. Instead of the notion of the separation of religion and state, the idea of "empowerment" is stressed. Islam calls for believers to actively participate in the power structures of the state. As a mixture of nationalism and Islamism, the so-called "national Jihad" is pushing its way into the political arena and has given birth to the notion of the "Islamic welfare state."

POPSBrandeis Student Gov Tables Resolution Commemorating Israel's 60th bday About half of the Brandeis student body identifies itself as Jewish. Brandeis, which has 3,400 undergraduates, was founded by members of the American-Jewish community in 1948, when there were quotas limiting the number of Jewish students at prestigious universities. Via Philip Weiss , who argues this portends a more critical apporach to Israel among young Jewish Americans.

POPSNot our Party either. Last week it was the British Jew. This week it's the Iranian Jews that will not celebrate the birth of Israel. How long until the birth of Palestine?

POPSCRUCIFIXES Banned. Irish Heads Wailing under Attack by Settler. Catholic, Anglican, Presbyterian and Methodist all get shabby treatment from the Zionists. Banned from wearing their crucifixes by a Nazi settler. "After seven or eight minutes, Dr Younan said Archbishop of Armagh Cardinal Seán Brady decided that he could not risk a confrontation with the settler." ...RTE Why are we waiting? For one disgruntled settler. Smacks of setup to me

POPS"Nowadays the First Amendment is the First Refuge of Scoundrels" Continuation: Section 319(2) reads in part, "Every one who, by communicating statements other than in private conversation, willfully promotes hatred against any identifiable group is guilty of... an indictable offense and is liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years." In the United States, this provision of the code would almost certainly be struck down because, under the First Amendment, restrictions on speech are apparently prohibited without qualification. This is an excerpt from the eightth chapter of the essay THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS FREE SPEECH AND IT'S A GOOD THING, TOO by STANLEY FISH, OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS. See also the Canadian Criminal Code .
