In the Name of God: The Extremely and Eternally Loving and Caring It’s about time.  In the wake of the unprecedented election of Donald Trump and his worrying appointments of anti-Semitic and anti-Muslim ideologues, the American Jewish Committee and the Islamic Society of North America have come together.  On November 14, both organizations announced the…

In the Name of God: The Extremely and Eternally Loving and Caring MAKE no mistake about it: the election of Donald Trump has made me fearful.
