What the. . .religion at YearlyKos? Yep, Street Prophets helps out the concern trolls (Washington Times and Get Religion) who reported not finding much conflict over religion. Pastor Dan ponders:

So again, I'm not really sure what his point is. It's like he and the Washington Times are pointing to the Interfaith Service and the apparent lack of conflict over religious issues and saying "a-ha!"

A-ha what? A-ha we're a diverse but inclusive bunch of people? A-ha religion wasn't a major focus of the conference? A-ha we're liberals? Seriously, I don't get it.

Any questions? Mik over at JSpot reflection on the Faith or No panel discussion at YearlyKos as well as a way beyond the spats of late.

CrossLeft wonders what's really the difference in thinking between liberal and moderate Christians?

Progressive/Liberals think that things can be better for our society. They see that many who are individually oppressed are oppressed because of certain structures in society that keep them in their place. Conservatives want to change the individual, but often think the social structures are just fine. Progressives/Liberals often think too much of the social structures, and not enough about the individual. Might there be a balance?

City of Brass launched a new information site called Talk Islam. It deals with humdrum questions such as:

Do muslims condemn terror?, Was Islam spread by sword point conversions?, Is there a "Just War" theory in Islam? Does Osama bin Laden have authority to issue fatwa for jihad?
Does the Qur'an call Jews "apes and pigs" ?

Progressive Islam wonders, What is it with all these articles about Pakistan? As I do this roundup, the news is breaking that Mr. Musharraf may declare a state of emergency. Not sure if that's an answer, but it does raise some questions.

Remember that Hindu guy who got shouted at during his Senate prayer service? It looks like Christian fundamentalists weren't the only ones mad.

This essay is part of a series that he is going documenting the rise of this new challenge to religious tolerance. The intro is here.
