White supremacism isn't insanity

My new @foreignpolicy essay on the #NewZealand shooting and its aftermath: foreignpolicy.com/2019/03/21/mur…
It is reasonable that we would want to cast an attack like the one in New Zealand outside the realm of rationality, to remind ourselves that this kind of evil is outside of time and place, to be cordoned off. And that would be a mistake
Sometimes, when comparing white nationalism to Islamism, the imprecision seems to be the very point. But that's a bug, not a feature

1. A thread. The collusion charge was an indirect (or direct) way of saying that Trump was illegitimately elected. In the absence of evidence, this was a pretty serious claim and one that undermined faith in the democratic process among millions of Democratic voters
2. So an outcome of "no collusion" is the best possible outcome for American democracy. However much you hate Trump, there's simply no way to be angry or disappointed—from a small-d democratic standpoint. It might be going too far to say "rejoice" but yea kind of
3. That said, it's pretty concerning that anyone was willing to advance these claims and conspiracy theories *in the first place*—specifically because of the seriousness of the charge. You don't mess with foundational questions of democratic legitimacy unless you're damn sure

Thanks so much for having me! I really enjoyed the discussion, and I'm so glad to hear they found it helpful. It means a lot to hear that, and it gives me hope for the potential of deeper Evangelical-Muslim and Christian-Muslim dialogues
The @NeighborlyFaith Fellows Program is such an important & urgent initiative, especially now. 10 Evangelical college students are selected, who then lead initiatives to build friendships with Muslims in their community. Read more about the program here 👇🏽neighborlyfaith.org/fellows
I was also grateful to take part in a wonderful conversation—hosted by the good folks at @NeighborlyFaith—with the Evangelical theologian @matthewkaemingk. We talked grace, law, pluralism, Galatians, and what we've learned from each other's religions: soundcloud.com/neighborly-fai…

This is an excellent piece by @AkyolinEnglish on blasphemy in Islam. Are anti-blasphemy protests about religion or (identity) politics—or both? lawliberty.org/liberty-forum/…
Anti-blasphemy protests are not about protecting the sacred per se, but about protecting what the group holds sacred, and these are different things
This is interesting: Georgetown's Matthew Anderson interviewed Egyptian Christians who think blasphemy against Islam should be a crime punishable by law

New Zealand's Prime Minister announces ban on all assault rifles, just 6 days following the massacre of Muslim worshippers by a white nationalist terrorist - CNN apple.news/AI60vPfPEThS3R…
“On 15 March our history changed forever. Now, our laws will, too…to strengthen our gun laws and make our country a safer place.” #NewZealand bans military-style rifles, prime minister says days after mosque attacks that left 50 dead washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pac…
This is MAGA America's shame. Among the dead in New Zealand are refugees who escaped war in Syria. 16-yr-old Hamza and his father Khaled had planned with their family to unite with other ethnic Circassians in the US, but couldn't b/c of Trump's Muslim ban. washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pac…

#NewZealand: Look, I said this yesterday, and have to emphasize it strongly again today: The Timing Of #AEI Running This Piece by Michael Rubin Warning Of Attacks on “Jews” in #Turkey With #NewZealand Terrorists’ #Manifesto on #Turkey!!- - - washex.am/2Fe6gjy
#NewZealand : I generally hate all the drama-based politically motivated “heightened alert” business by governments (Everywhere!)-However, if I were #Turkey government authority I’d watch out for possible #GladioOps targeting synagogues/Jewish centers here. Something may be up...
#NewZealand: This Guy has come to #Turkey several times for extended stays. He includes #Turkey & Turkish Pres. In his warnings (Manifesto). #Israel lobby’s #AEI issues this insane warning ... I’d say “Heightened Alert” In this Case: would be warranted.

#NewZealand "Trump is a symbol of renewed white identity & common purpose"

Trump supporter, Jerry Falwell Jr to 10K students

“I’ve always thought if more good people had concealed carry permits, then we could end those Muslims before they walked in"

Trump is sending messages to dangerous people from the WH

Immediately after reports of the #Christchurch murders surfaced, Trump tweeted a link to Breitbart, a anti-Muslim Conspiracy Theory website

Then, Trump later deleted it. Mission Accomplished

Trump proclaiming he's a "Nationalist" to an audience that understands the real meaning.

The gunman apparently live streamed the attack on the internet.

MASS SHOOTING, in Mosques in Christchurch New Zealand ! 👈 That in itself should raise a few red flags🚩

Four people have been arrested and several BOMBS found following shootings at two mosques in Christchurch that have left as many as 30 feared DEAD.
