Topic: "Jesus Killed Mohammed" (Harper's Magazine expose)
After a look at timely topics in the news (including the
"biblically correct" Miss California USA, the Pope's visit to the
Mideast, a study correlating church-going with endorsement of
torture, and the heartening secularization of American youths), the
hosts will interview journalist and author Jeff Sharlet about his
startling expose in this month's Harper's of fundamentalist
Christian promotion by the military in Iraq and Afghanistan. Also
featured: a short tribute to Pete Seeger, who turned 90 this month.
