Showing titles in Religious Intolerance

Acts of Faith is a remarkable account of growing up Muslim in America and coming to believe in religious pluralism, from one of the most prominent faith leaders in the United States. Eboo Patel's story is a hopeful and moving testament to the power and passion of young people - and of the world-changing potential of an interfaith youth movement.

Joachim Gauck über das zentrale Thema unserer Zeit. Was muss die Gesellschaft, was muss und was sollte der Einzelne tolerieren und wo liegen die Grenzen der Toleranz? Die Lebensentwürfe, Wertvorstellungen, religiösen und kulturellen Hintergründe der Menschen werden immer vielfältiger - für manche eine Bereicherung, für nicht wenige eine Last. Wie viel Andersartigkeit muss man erdulden? Wie viel kann man erdulden? Wie viel Kritik aushalten? Welche gemeinsamen Regeln müssen bei aller Verschiedenheit gelten?

Inside Syria and Iraq, and even along the refugee trail, they’re a religious minority persecuted for their Christian faith. Outside the Middle East, they’re suspect because of their nationality. A small remnant of Christians is on the run from the Islamic State. If they are wiped out, or scattered to the corners of the earth, the language that Jesus spoke may be lost forever - along with the witness of a church that has modeled Jesus’ way of nonviolence and enemy-love for two millennia.

As Syria imploded in civil war in 2011, Kurdish volunteers in the north rose up to free their homeland from centuries of repression and create a progressive sanctuary of tolerance and democracy.

Against them stood 2,500 volunteer fighters armed with 40-year-old rifles. There was only one way for the Kurds to survive. They would have to kill the invaders one by one.
