Excited to be moderating a discussion today with my friend the Christian theologian @matthewkaemingk at BYU's #RFreview on "Is the Hijab a gift to Democracy?"

Matt will be drawing on his fascinating article in @commentmag: cardus.ca/comment/articl…
As some of you know, @matthewkaemingk's writing on 'Christian pluralism' has had a major influence on my own thinking around how to live with deep difference

I discuss some of this here: providencemag.com/2018/09/strugg…
You can hear one of my dialogues with the theologian @matthewkaemingk on the @NeighborlyFaith podcast, where we talk liberalism, friendship, Calvin, Kuyper, grace, and sin: soundcloud.com/neighborly-fai…

The big new BBC Arabic poll has gotten some misleading coverage. BBC is calling this the rise of the "non-religious" 👇🏾 The problem is the common Arabic translation of "not religious" would be مش متدين or لست متدين which doesn't have quite the same implication as "not religious"
We have no way of knowing how the question was asked in Arabic, since the battery of survey questions has only so far been released in English
Also, to really get clarity, you'd probably need to ask a follow-up question, namely that if they're "not religious," do they either want to be religious or do they think they *should* become religious?

When Lester Holt says "we're just getting started" it kinda sounds like a threat...
Also, I know this is a running joke (and I started watching late) but there's actually one guy on the stage who I don't think I've ever seen before
Well, @PeteButtigieg knows how to talk about religion. Kudos. That was a really good riff

I was on @ForeignPolicy's 'First Person' with @SarahAWildman

For me, it's hard to think of a story sadder than what happened to #Egypt from 2011 to 2013. I try to tell that story from my own perspective of being there in key moments

Listen to it here 👇🏾megaphone.link/PPY4576503808
I remember what it was like that night on February 11, 2011. I was in Tahrir Square earlier that day when the announcement came that Mubarak was stepping down, when the murmur of the crowd became a roar. As the memory grows more remote, I sometimes wonder: did it *really* happen?
That night, Egyptians were dancing in the streets. They had done it. They were proud. I remember thinking to myself, this is what it must feel like to not just be free, but to *feel* free. I had never seen Egyptians so joyful

Today at 12 ET, @SURfdn is convening a discussion at the @uscapitol with @AshaRangappa_ @astepanovich
@justinhendrix & @acarvin about how we can all address the threats that disinformation & misinformation pose to democratic societies – & what do about it eventbrite.com/e/defusing-dis…
@SURfdn @uscapitol @AshaRangappa_ @astepanovich @justinhendrix @acarvin I started working with @SURFdn in the fall of 2018 (when it was @StandUpIdeas) as a project manager for DefusingDis.info, commissioning & editing expert perspectives about what's happening at the intersection of media, tech, (de)regulation, misinformation & disinformation.
@SURfdn @uscapitol @AshaRangappa_ @astepanovich @justinhendrix @acarvin I joked that “a lie can be tweeted halfway around the world while the truth is still unlocking its smartphone,” but our reality is disinformation & misinformation cascading across billions of screens pose serious risks to much more than election integrity. defusingdis.info/2019/01/10/int…

2 Kings 17:30, 31 30 And the men of Babylon made Succoth-benoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima, 31 And the Avites made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the Sepharvites burnt their children in fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim.
Succoth-benoth
The second register from the top on the left side shows the symbol of Nergal, a weapon on top of a dragon.

Nergal represents ...death, ... inflicted death...plague and pestilence as well as being closely associated with warfare.

Je n’avais vraiment pas envie de m’exprimer sur la polémique #hijab #decathlon mais bon, j’ai une petite légitimité pour le faire, à la fois en tant que victime de l’islamisme radical… et adepte du running (attention, long thread)
1) Le port du hijab n’est considéré comme une obligation religieuse que par un fraction conservatrice, rétrograde, fondamentaliste, appelez là comme vous voulez, des musulmans
2) Oui, mais c’est également vrai pour le port de la soutane par les prêtres catholiques ou d’une perruque pour les femmes juives

Are men covered in suits & boots in hot & sultry South India exercising choice?

#hijab
Are all women wearing sarees doing out of their choice?
#hijab
PS: In many South Indian institutions, saree is mandatory formal wear.

#Today's story to #EndFamilySeparation Four months ago, Dad and 4-month-old entered at the Texas/Mexico border and requested #asylum. Dad and child were immediately separated and the baby put in ORR custody. #FamiliesBelongTogether
Dad was detained in a #Texas detention center where @RAICESTEXAS consulted. Dad accepted a deportation to be quickly reunited w/ his infant child. However, the Dad was deported & NOT his child. The now 8-month-old baby has been in ORR custody for 4 months. #EndFamilySeparation
The Mom and Dad now have once weekly Skype calls with their 8-month-old baby. That's right, folks. They Skype with an infant. #EndFamilySeparation #FamiliesBelongTogether

1/ I'm going to walk you through why this is such an extraordinary story, barring the obvious part about the British government endorsing a tool of Islamic oppression... breitbart.com/london/2018/02…
2/ When we found out this might have happened, thanks to @moutet, we enquired with the FCO, a simple "yes or no" as to whether the event took place...
3/ After the first phone call, they told us they'd get back to us in a few hours. They didn't. We called again. We were asked for more time, once more...
