A recurring debate within American politics concerns the power of the President; of which there are two contrasting schools of thought. One theory claims that the President has exceeded his constitutional powers. As such, he acts in a manner comparable to an imperial monarch. The second is that the Head of State is greatly curtailed in his actions by constitutional and political considerations. This article examines the imperial thesis in the field of foreign policy to the 44th President, Barack Obama.

The New Israel and the Old: Why Gentile Americans Back the Jewish State

Abstract: In the US, a pro-Israel foreign policy does not represent the triumph of a small lobby over the public
will. It represents the power of public opinion to shape foreign policy in the face of concerns by foreign policy
professionals. To understand Washington's support for the Jewish state, one has to understand the depth,
breadth and venerability of gentile American Zionism.

Is Media Responsible for Rise of Islamophobia in America?
America is home to one of the most diverse Muslim inhabitants in the world. This includes people of nearly every cultural groups, country and school of thought. A significant proportion of Americans are of the opinion that Islam as a religion is incomparable with American values. Nathan Lean has stated that media plays a major role in the promotion of Islamophobia throughout the world. Reports have been observed where seven charitable foundations have spent 43 million dollars between 2001 to 2009 in order to support the spread of anti-Muslim rhetoric. Another factor was revealed which included 2010 Gallup poll win, which 43% of the Americans were, reported to feel a sense of prejudice against Muslims. Fox news has also been identified as the small component of Islamophobia in US media. Fox news has been found to retract false claims about Muslims. Various empirical evidences have been found to provide possible interactions between the latent Muslim feelings and media coverage.
However, since 2011, Muslims in the United States have been showing significant concern regarding extremism in the name of Islam across the world. Concurrently, majority are of the opinion that there is minimal support of extremism with Muslim community even though the general public differs (Spring 1,5). This has led to a rise in discernment and fear against Muslims in America. Such a social aversion and prejudice against Muslims in America has been gradually facilitating and continuing by vehement and uncivilized stereotypes exhibited in diverse forms of American media organization and political domains which instigate high level of prejudice, discrimination and exclusion of the Muslims. While some Americans believe Islamic religion promotes terrorism, this misconception is due to ignorance caused by media, but this could be solved by mandatory education about Islam in colleges.
The effect of media, chiefly mass news media as well as technology, in influencing Islamophobia has been increasing concern from the time of the 9/11 attacks. Several standpoints tend to problematize the way the media through numerous avenues related to news and film as well as nonfiction destructively depict, racialize and demonize Muslim-American identities. The impression of these edifices of Arabs and Muslims on unconstructive typecasts as well as events of marginalization amongst Muslim-American communities are apprehended in many academic domains. Considine in his study of Muslim portrayal in the United States during late 1980s and early 1990s have found that Muslims have been depicted negatively in news reporting since then. Moreover, majority of the narrations which mentioned Muslims to be intrinsically related to terrorism and war did not find sufficient evidence of more generalized negative prejudice. Howe.
Is religion a force for good?
When organized religion seeks to teach people how to live and how to appreciate the essence of life, realization of goals is achieved. However, when people are encouraged to commit contemptible and staggering acts in the name of God, it gives rise to immoral things. History supports this claim in many ways but for this writing; the focus is on war and hate crimes. Wars, triggered by organized religion have made their mark in history. The terrorist attack on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and the crash of the plane in Pennsylvania all had a religious connection, radical Fundamentalist Muslim terrorists. Organized religion has created religious warfare. Organized religion is also responsible for many hate crimes. Following the attacks on September 11, many persons of Muslim and Arab descent were victims of hate crimes simply because they shared the same ethnicity and religion as the perpetrators.
Religion can also be seen as a force which helps us discriminate between the good and evil .If there were no religion or any commandments then everybody would do what feels good to them and the world would be in a chaos. So religion can be seen as a regulator which regulates the world. Each and every corner of this world has been touched by one or the other religion. Every religion teaches more or less the same things to follow, the path of love, compassion, honesty, truth etc. Love thy neighbor as thyself, the most famous Christian commandment teaches us to love another person and treat him well just like we want for ourselves. Today the world is making advancement in technology and science but this has led to more confusion, stress, rise in crimes and violence. With all these going on how do we follow the paths that make our lives serene, peaceful and better?
Bibliography:
1. Harris, Sam (2004). The end of faith: Religion, Terror, and the future of Reason. Retrieved 12 July 2014. Sam Harris delivers a startling analysis of the clash between reason and religion in the modern world. He offers a vivid, historical tour of our willingness to suspend reason in favor of religious beliefs even when these beliefs inspire the worst human atrocities. While warning against the encroachment of organized religion into world politics, Harris draws on insights from neuroscience, philosophy, and Eastern mysticism to deliver a call for a truly modern foundation for ethics and spirituality that is both secular and humanistic.
2. Harris, Sam (2006).Letter to a Christian Nation. Letter to a Christian Nation" is a rallying cry to rationalists everywhere and should serve as a wakeup call to retrograde Christians eagerly toiling away to displace science with magical thinking, overturn a woman's right to choose, relegate gays and lesbians to second class citizenship, or ensure the apocalypse. Harris presents concise arguments with lucidity, brevity and impact. If you haven't read his prior book "The End of Faith" the thesis of "Lett ...

Political Orientation and Church AttendanceKeenan Afram
As the capstone project in my Statistical Research and Design course, I utilized SQL and SPSS to query the databases of the U.S. Census Bureau and American National Election Studies to perform
statistical analysis that examined the correlation between church attendance and political orientation in the United States. The research paper and the analysis of the data was presented at Chapman University's annual research fair.
This study, prepared by a Republican-led group of researchers, seeks to better understand to the factors that are motivating nativism, racism, and other cultural anxieties among the American electorate.
Being a Muslim in office is not an issue. However, being a Muslim that is aligned with terrorist and jihadist ideologies, especially those of the Muslim Brotherhood, is unacceptable. Then to be on the US House "Permanent Select Committee On Intelligence" (HPSCI) is intolerable! Read these FACTS if you don't believe me.

On Friday, March 27, 2015, the nonpartisan Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) released the 2015 Millennials, Sexuality, and Reproductive Health Survey. The survey takes an in-depth look at millennials’ views on public policies related to contraception and abortion, sex education, sexual identity and gender roles, relationships and marriage, and sexual assault on college campuses. The landmark survey draws on interviews with more than 2,300 young Americans, ages 18-35, including oversamples of African Americans, Hispanics, and Asian-Pacific Islanders, allowing for a detailed look at the attitudes of millennials of color. Additionally, the survey explores the impact that race and ethnicity, religion, and political affiliation have on these attitudes and behaviors.
A new national survey finds that few Americans believe they will personally be harmed by climate change but that it poses significant risk to people in poorer countries. The PRRI/AAR Religion, Values and Climate Change Survey finds that less than one-quarter (24 percent) of Americans believe that they will be personally harmed a great deal by climate change, while 30 percent say climate change will affect them a moderate amount. Nearly half say climate change will cause them little (23 percent) or no (22 percent) harm. In contrast, a majority (54 percent) of Americans say that people living in poorer developing countries will be harmed a great deal as a result of climate change, while 20 percent say people in developing countries will experience a moderate amount of harm.
The landmark 3,000-person survey, conducted by the nonpartisan Public Religion Research Institute in association with the American Academy of Religion, explores beliefs and concerns about climate change and the impact of religion on those attitudes.

The post-election American Values Survey of nearly 1,400 Americans, conducted in the days immediately following the midterm elections, is a unique panel survey based on re-contact interviews with respondents from the PRRI’s large pre-election American Values Survey.
The survey asks Americans about their ballot choices, their motivations for voting, and what both voters and non-voters see as priorities and challenges for President Obama and Republicans and Democrats in Congress. The survey assesses attitudes about the two political parties, concerns about campaign negativity and voting problems, looks ahead to the 2015 presidential election.
Presentation by Public Religion Research Institute Research Director Daniel Cox at the 2011 American Association of Public Opinion Research annual conference.
A new post-election survey finds perceptions of President Obama’s religious beliefs, potential conflicts between those identifying with the Tea Party and white evangelicals, and attitudes about Islam are emerging religious issues that promise to shape the 2012 elections in new ways. The 2010 post-election American Values Survey was conducted by Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) in cooperation with The Brookings Institution.
This presentation provides additional findings from the 2010 American Values Survey, originally presented on October 13, 2010, at the National Press Club in Washington, DC, at an event hosted by Catholic University of America. Results of the 2010 American Values Survey are based on telephone interviews conducted among a national random sample of 3,013 adults (age 18 and older) between September 1 and September 14, 2010.
This paper by Public Religion Research Institute's Dr. Robert P. Jones and Daniel Cox explores two neglected aspects of religion--spirituality as a distinct component and progressive religiosity--and proposes new measurement strategies for examining them. We have two main findings: 1) that spirituality can indeed be isolated as a dimension of religiosity independent of belief and practice; and 2) that identifying a structuralist vs. individualist approach to religious ethics is a promising approach for distinguishing progressive religiosity and avoiding conservative measurement bias inherent in such common measures as religious service attendance.

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.

Fox News EffectStrongest Independent Predictor of Views Trust in Fox News is a more powerful independent predictor of saying the King hearings are a good idea than evangelical affiliation, Republican Party affiliation, education, or age. Race and gender are not significant. Holding other demographic characteristics constant, Americans who most trust Fox News are 4 times more likely than those who most trust other TV news sources to say the upcoming hearings on alleged Muslim extremism are a good idea.

Knowing someone: Big gaps by education (college grads 62%, hs or less 26%) and age (<50 49%, 50 and over 31%).
The number of Americans holding an favorable view of Islam has dropped in last 5 years from 41% in 2005 to 30% in 2010. Interestingly, the number of Americans saying they have unfavorable views of Islam have remained steady: 36% in 2005, 38% in 2010 (Pew 2010). Implication: in GP slip has been from favorable to uncertainty.Huge favorability gaps by age (<30 35% favorable, >65 20% favorable), education (college 47% favorable, hs or less 20% favorable), party.
There is no political or demographic group in which a majority says Islam encourages violence more than other religions. Republicans (47% agree, 38% disagree) vs. Democrats (24% agree vs. 50% disagree).
61% of Americans who consider themselves a part of the Christian Right agree with this statement.
Slim majority (51%) of white evangelical Protestants agree, 40% disagree.
Interestingly, although the effect is small, Americans age 65 and older were significantly LESS likely than younger Americans to say that the hearings are a good idea, despite the fact that they are MORE likely to think Islam is not compatible with American values and way of life and to have more negative views towards Islam and Muslim Americans on a range of other questions.
