Showing titles in Religious Intolerance

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?

L'inondazione di odio in Internet, i cori negli stadi contro i giocatori neri, il risveglio del demone antisemita, le spedizioni squadristiche contro gli omosessuali, i rimpianti di troppi politici per "i metodi di Hitler", le avanzate in tutta Europa dei partiti xenofobi, le milizie in divisa para-nazista, i pestaggi di disabili, le rivolte veneziane contro gli "zingari" anche se sono veneziani da secoli e fanno di cognome Pavan, gli omicidi di clochard, gli inni immondi alla purezza del sangue.

As we navigate the coming decades, We the People must know our rights more than ever, particularly as they relate to the freedom to exercise our religion.

While most of us have heard about Christians suffering for their faith, we tend to think "persecution" mainly impacts believers in times past or in hostile nations today, far removed from our daily lives. But this eye-opening book describes the various stages of persecution, revealing that persecution is something all followers of the Way can expect to face in this fallen world. Trouble on the Way will not only help listeners recognize persecution in all its forms but enable them to stand firm against it.

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.

Men trods det enorme søgelys på krigen, mangler historikerne alligevel svar på masser af spørgsmål. Som årene går, blomstrer myter op side om side med fakta. I denne bog forsøger vi at finde svarene.

In 1932, a Jamaican man named Leonard Percival Howell began leading nonviolent protests in Kingston, Jamaica, against British colonial rule. While history books rightly credit Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. with popularizing nonviolent protest strategies in later years, little is known about Leonard Howell and his vision of self-reliance—poor people working together to build a society of their own

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. To the medievalists of ISIS, this was an affront, so they amassed 10,000 men, heavy artillery, tanks, mortars and ranks of suicide bombers to crush the uprising. 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.
