Hanif Qadir is recognised as one of the world's leading specialists
in positively transforming violent extremists. He has worked with
hundreds of high-risk terrorist and violent extremist cases and has
challenged many known figureheads who lead violently extreme groups
both at home and abroad. In this essential book for all those who
work with young people, Hanif outlines the push and pull factors
and the early indicators of radicalisation, and offers decisive and
unambiguous advice on how and when to intervene. The book includes
anonymous case studies of a wide variety of people Hanif has
personally worked with and lays down simple lessons on what success
and failure looks like when tackling extremism.
The flow of migrants from south to north and east to west carries
with it growing concerns about the economic integration, political
incorporation, and social inclusion of newcomers and their
children. But what happens when a group of people deliberately
excludes themselves from mainstream society? How can social
policies, human services, and communities best understand and
respond to them? In Out of Place, Luann Good Gingrich explores
social inclusion and exclusion in relation to the approximately
60,000 Low German-speaking Mennonites who have migrated from
traditionally self-sufficient and agrarian colonies in Latin
America to rural areas of Canada. By examining the free-market
principles that organize the human services industry the author
exposes the inherent conflict that arises when this "market logic"
is imposed on a group that does not embrace these ideals. The
author's innovative approach to social policy and human services
which emphasizes the relationship between dominant and subordinate
cultures, encourages us to find new ways to authentically engage
with difference and bridge the gaps that divide us.
This book takes the long-view by analysing Islamic State's
beginnings in Iraq to their involvement in the Arab Spring and
through to the present day. The world is watching IS's advance
through the Middle East. The US risks being drawn into another war
in the region despite its experiences in Afghanistan and Iraq. IS
are creating catastrophic waves across the region, but it is still
unclear what lies behind its success. Michael Griffin uncovers the
nature of IS through investigating the myriad of regional players
engaged in a seemingly endless power game: Saudi Arabia, Qatar,
Turkey and Iraq, which have all contributed to the success of IS by
supplying arms and funds. He foregrounds the story of the uprising
against President Assad of Syria, the role played by the Free
Syrian Army, Islamist groups, Iran, Hezbollah and Russia, the
chemical weapons attacks in 2013 and the House of Commons vote not
to impose a no-fly zone over the country.
In 1384, a poor and illiterate peasant woman named Ermine moved to
the city of Reims with her elderly husband. Her era was troubled by
war, plague, and schism within the Catholic Church, and Ermine
could easily have slipped unobserved through the cracks of history.
After the loss of her husband, however, things took a remarkable
but frightening turn. For the last ten months of her life, Ermine
was tormented by nightly visions of angels and demons. In her
nocturnal terrors, she was attacked by animals, beaten and
kidnapped by devils in disguise, and exposed to carnal spectacles;
on other nights, she was blessed by saints, even visited by the
Virgin Mary. She confessed these strange occurrences to an
Augustinian friar known as Jean le Graveur, who recorded them all
in vivid detail. Was Ermine a saint in the making, an impostor, an
incipient witch, or a madwoman? Renate Blumenfeld-Kosinski ponders
answers to these questions in the historical and theological
context of this troubled woman's experiences. With empathy and
acuity, Blumenfeld-Kosinski examines Ermine's life in
fourteenth-century Reims, her relationship with her confessor, her
ascetic and devotional practices, and her reported encounters with
heavenly and hellish beings. Supplemented by translated excerpts
from Jean's account, The Strange Case of Ermine de Reims brings to
life an episode that helped precipitate one of the major clerical
controversies of late medieval Europe, revealing surprising truths
about the era's conceptions of piety and possession.
Este libro es escrito para corresponder con las muestras de
Jesucristo y su propio Padre y propia fe que el ministro y no tiene
nada que ver con la fe de los Judio-Cristianos. La fe el ministro
era en la vida "eterna," que hasta en su tiempo existia por miles
de anos antes de Cristo todavia en Egipto y ministrada que un dia
iba vener el "Hijo del Padre" en la tierra.
Wer sind die Zeugen Jehovas und worum geht es ihrer Fuhrung, der
Wachtturmgesellschaft? Ist diese das, was sie zu sein vorgibt? Eine
harmlose Religion, die sich ausschliesslich der Verkundigung der
Guten Botschaft" vom Konigreich Gottes verschrieben hat und deren
Mitglieder, die Zeugen Jehovas, aus diesem Grund schon wahrend der
unseligen Zeit des Dritten Reichs Repressalien ausgesetzt waren und
verfolgt wurden? In dem Buch Schwarzbuch Wachtturmgesellschaft -
der verborgene Januskopf" analysiert und bewertet Will Cook, ein
langjahriger Zeuge, die Lehren und Prophezeiungen der
Wachtturmorganisation und ihren Fuhrungsanspruch. Seine Analyse
weist auf Zusammenhange hin, die bislang nicht oder nur selten
offentlich diskutiert worden sind und daher nicht nur der
Aussenwelt, sondern sogar dem normalen" Zeugen Jehovas verborgen
geblieben sind. Dieses Buch soll dazu beitragen, dass Licht in das
bislang vorherrschende Dunkel der Motive und Zielsetzungen der
Wachtturmorganisation gebracht wird. Es soll auch dazu beitragen,
dass die in geistiger Sklaverei gehaltenen Zeugen aus einer Kette
von Beweisen und Indizien Schlussfolgerungen ziehen konnen, die
ihnen helfen, fur sich einen Weg in die Freiheit zu finden. Den Weg
in eine geistige Freiheit, die sie zum wahren Geist von Gottes Wort
und damit in eine Freiheit fuhren kann, wie sie von Jesus Christus
verkundet wurde: ...und ihr werdet die Wahrheit erkennen, und die
Wahrheit wird euch frei machen." Johannes 8:
What impulse prompted some newspapers to attribute the murder of 77
Norwegians to Islamic extremists, until it became evident that a
right-wing Norwegian terrorist was the perpetrator? Why did
Switzerland, a country of four minarets, vote to ban those
structures? How did a proposed Muslim cultural center in lower
Manhattan ignite a fevered political debate across the United
States? In The New Religious Intolerance, Martha C. Nussbaum
surveys such developments and identifies the fear behind these
reactions. Drawing inspiration from philosophy, history, and
literature, she suggests a route past this limiting response and
toward a more equitable, imaginative, and free society. Fear,
Nussbaum writes, is "more narcissistic than other emotions."
Legitimate anxieties become distorted and displaced, driving laws
and policies biased against those different from us. Overcoming
intolerance requires consistent application of universal principles
of respect for conscience. Just as important, it requires greater
understanding. Nussbaum challenges us to embrace freedom of
religious observance for all, extending to others what we demand
for ourselves. She encourages us to expand our capacity for
empathetic imagination by cultivating our curiosity, seeking
friendship across religious lines, and establishing a consistent
ethic of decency and civility. With this greater understanding and
respect, Nussbaum argues, we can rise above the politics of fear
and toward a more open and inclusive future.
