As you might expect, I have been getting quite a bit of email about the recent column by Daniel Okrent titled “Is The New York Times a Liberal Newspaper?”

"Kill the Nazi!" and other examples of offensive free speech
Three cheers to the Denver Rocky Mountain News (bias alert: my old newsroom) for a interesting slice-of-life color story from the front lines of the free-speech wars at the Democratic National Convention. Also, a tip of the hat on this one to the always fine Christianity Today weblog.

An interesting Muslim criticism of tactics used by al Qaeda
As noted several times in recent weeks, it is quite natural for traditional forms of Christianity and Islam to collide — both are missionary faiths that seek to convert others. Both faiths claim to be the universal faith for all people in all cultures.

Test question: Define "Jewish" and give three examples
Let me jump in here quickly to respond to Doug’s post on the issue of Jewish Christians, Buddhist Jews and other hard to define, emerging niche spiritualities. For journalists, this is a case in which it is almost impossible to write anything without starting linguistic warfare.

Return of the Passion story: Hey, it was a movie
Relax. I don’t think this wave of “Passion” coverage is going to be anywhere near the size of the last one. Just a few ripples.

With God, and the Times, on his side (Creeping Fundamentalism XI)
As you may have noticed, your friends here at GetReligion.org rarely, if ever, comment on op-ed columns. We’d need to open an entire second site if we started chasing religion into the editorial pages.

Nearing end of the road: Christian porn, Passion and a digital mystery
During the past month or two, I have rarely seen my own office and my own telephone. I have been working in Washington, D.C., and then following that with travel to Turkey, Greece, Phoenix, the remote corners of the North Carolina mountains and this coming week to New Jersey.

The post-megachurch maze
I have vanished this week for a simple reason. My family is hiding up in the Smoky Mountains in a location so remote that we have no telephone and the nearest computer dial-up service is so slow that posting to the blog has been impossible. So I am sending this to the ever-patient Doug via email. It was interesting that I could post from Turkey and Greece easier than from this corner of North Carolina.
