Fundamentalismus

The themes of Naturocracy could be interesting for a wider audience around the globe; reading it requires no specialised academic background. Not getting attached to anything or anyone is tremendously important in order to grasp the essence of the book. Those who think rationally and who do not want their daily lives to be dictated by others may find it a valuable read.This book is about religious brokers who deceive and control people in the name of God. It raises many basic questions about the role of religio-politicians who divide humankind in the name of religion to create disharmony among peaceful people in a society. Religion is a completely personal affair. Nobody needs any religious traders to know what is right and what is wrong. Each human being can understand the language of nature independently without explanation from any spoken human languages.I have striven to unearth what makes people religious. Those who do not even understand what a tiny creature like the humble bee is, how can they define its creator? I have always wondered about this. If the creator of this mysterious universe had given any holy book for mankind to follow, then he would have clarified the existing fragmentary or contradictory statements in it. But how can preachers clarify and even correct the words of the Almighty? How did they know the mind of God when they did not know about themselves? Can there be any greater sinners than those who lie and commit crimes under the religious umbrella? Against the evils of society, there should be a nature-inspired political platform for my motherland where people of all colours and creeds can live together in harmony without imposing their religious convictions on others.Who is ruling a country is not so important for the ordinary people, but how it is being ruled is of paramount importance. The economic scale, which measures the rich and poor countries of the world, is inappropriate to measure the joy and sorrow of their people. Common people all over the earth believe in living in true peace and happiness rather than with material comforts. The more we interfere with nature, the more we will suffer for it. The root of this is the relentless desire for more pleasure and power. We must respect and accept natural laws as we are not above the laws of nature. In nature, there is no such thing as rich or poor. People in the financial economy are arbitrarily putting a monetary value on the natural economy which makes the natural economy unsustainable.Once you have the picture in your mind's eye, you will lucidly understand that the greatest damage being done to our planet today is being done by humans. On no account must we work anymore against nature but together with it.

The focus of this comprehensive anthology is hate speech by religious actors or in the name of religion. Such hate speech has grown in severity, leading to tragic occurrences of violence and acts of terrorism. This has become a challenge of concern to the international community as a whole. The anthology offers in-depth case studies of religion-based or -related hate speech (India, Myanmar and the former Yugoslavia); explanations and discussions of relevant international law, philosophical and religious normative frameworks; expert analyses of factors motivating hate speech in the name of religion (including personality and situational factors, colonial prejudice, abuse of religious themes and exploitation of social influence); and 250 pages of analysis of measures available to assist religious leaders to reduce or prevent hate speech by their members or in the name of their community. The book identifies a variety of formal and informal sanctions or means of disapproval that may be available to religious leaders who seek to reduce hate speech. <BR>The anthology contains 31 chapters and several forewords, with contributions by 40 leading authors from diverse backgrounds, in alphabetical order: Fathi M.A. Ahmed, U Aye Lwin, Mohamed Elewa Badar, Dorit Beinisch, Morten Bergsmo, Charles M.

This book presents three case studies to form a new framework for discussions of the historical and contemporary monitoring of religion. It shows that government surveillance is less predictable and monolithic than we might assume.

«Sono tante, forse troppe, le cose che ho visto nei miei primi trentatrè anni di vita. Adesso le racconto. Ho lasciato le armi per impugnare la penna. Traccio i fatti senza addolcirli, senza velarli. Dopo aver vissuto l¿infanzia, l¿adolescenza e la prima giovinezza nell¿ipocrisia, ho un tremendo bisogno di verità». Inizia così la sconvolgente testimonianza di Farhad Bitani, ex capitano dell¿esercito, un giovane uomo che ha attraversato da osservatore privilegiato la storia dell¿Afghanistan: dal potere dei mujaheddin ai talebani fino al governo attuale, che vive sotto l¿ombrello occidentale. Farhad nasce a Kabul nel 1986, ultimo di sei fratelli. Suo padre è un generale dell¿esercito di Mohammad Najibullah Ahmadzai, il quarto e ultimo presidente della Repubblica Democratica dell¿Afghanistan. Ma, con la presa del potere da parte dei mujaheddin, el 1992, le cose cambiano. Solo rinnegando il passato e diventando un mujahed, il padre di Farhad avrà salva la vita. Da quel momento l¿esistenza del giovane Farhad cambia radicalmente. La sua famiglia si trasferisce in una grande casa, presidiata dagli uomini della scorta. È a loro che Farhad chiede in prestito le armi, per i suoi giochi di bambino. Quello che sogna è un futuro da combattente, alla testa di un manipolo di uomini. Sparare, uccidere, avere potere e ricchezza: non c¿è nulla che desideri di più. Ma le cose sono destinate a mutare ancora. Quando i talebani strappano il potere ai mujaheddin, la sua famiglia cade in disgrazia. Mentre suo padre si trova in prigione, Farhad conosce la fame, la miseria, l¿indottrinamento forzato all¿Islam. Condotto allo stadio, viene costretto ad assistere alle lapidazioni del venerdì, le punizioni per gli infedeli, coloro che trasgrediscono le leggi del fondamentalismo. Sarebbe facile cedere all¿imbarbarimento, credere a ciò che viene inculcato, diventare come coloro che professano la pace, alimentando la guerra. Ma se fosse possibile un destino diverso? Si può attraversare l¿inferno e uscirne redenti? Da guerriero islamista a dialogatore per la pace, attraverso questo libro possente e drammatico Farhad Bitani offre al mondo il vero volto dell¿Afghanistan, raccontando in maniera vivida la guerra civile, la violenza gratuita, le perversioni del potere e l¿uso della religione come strumento politico.

Offener und kritischer Diskurs ist essentiell für eine demokratische, offene Gesellschaft, die diesen Namen verdient. Es gibt KEINE Tabuthemen!Es kann und darf nicht sein, dass Menschen an Leib und beruflicher Karriere schwer beschädigt, mundtot gemacht, diffamiert und wie Aussätzige behandelt werden, nur, weil sie ihr Recht in Anspruch nehmen, ihre Meinung frei zu äußern. Ein solches Verhalten sollte einer zivilisierten Gesellschaft unwürdig sein! Wir brauchen eine Gesprächs- und Diskussionskultur, in der wir einander nicht niedermachen, sondern zuhören.Kritik ist nicht nur erlaubt, sie kann geradezu Pflicht werden, um Schaden von Einzelnen oder der Gesellschaft abzuwenden...Gunda Meyer-Diessner, 1957, erzählt von ihrem Weg aus dem Katholizismus hinaus und hinein in ein humanistisches, emanzipiertes Denken und Handeln jenseits aller Religionen. Vergangenheit: von einer Gläubigen zu einer Ungläubigen / Gegenwart: von Gläubigen und Ungläubigen / Zukunft: von Ungläubigen zu Gläubigen? Was sagen andere? Ein Querschnitt interessanter Zitate.

Like many boomers, Henry Sturcke headed to California as a youth. While others sought sun and surf or hoped to break into the music or movie industries, he sought spiritual enlightenment. Not at the feet of an oriental swami or a psychedelic guru, but from a purveyor of fundamentalist doom and hope. Henry entered Ambassador College, although he had already graduated from a leading university. Ambassador was the educational arm of the Worldwide Church of God, both founded by Herbert Armstrong, one of the most colorful figures in the history of American religion. While there, Henry experienced the disconfirmation Worldwide's expectation of an imminent end-time as well as scandal surrounding Armstrong's flamboyant son, televangelist Garner Ted. Yet Henry remained a true believer in the church's calling and soon began making his own contributions to its media outreach.

Cheri Berens had been conducting field research throughout Egypt and had settled into married life with her Egyptian husband when the Arab Spring began. Quickly recognizing that western media was concealing the truth, Cheri began documenting the events that were taking place. Never-ending violent protests caused chaos to distract the public while the Muslim Brotherhood censored and arrested members of the media, disabled the Supreme Court, removed judges, and began changing the constitution. Police were demonized in order to remove them, and once removed, police were replaced with members of Islamist militias. The national anthem and saluting the flag were banned. Egyptian history was removed from textbooks and replaced with Islamic History. Only an Islamic identity was acceptable to the Muslim Brotherhood. Through personal experiences, Cheri unfolds a fascinating story of a foreign culture and illustrates how Egypt's culture was being systematically removed and replaced with Islam. Though the final process was implemented in a matter of months, the foundation of takeover had been long laid. The Muslim Brotherhood had placed activists inside universities and the Islamification began by altering the minds of Egypt's youth. Giving historical insights to better understand what took place, Cheri exposes the Arab Spring for what it was--including U.S. involvement. Within weeks after Barack Obama was elected president, the State Department held an Alliance of Youth Movements Summit. Muslim Brotherhood Youth attended this Summit and were trained to implement a false flag event to be used as a pretense for removing the government. Also at this Summit were representatives from CNN, MSNBC and other mainstream media, as well as Facebook and Google. Fake news and social media propaganda assisted the implementation of the Islamic takeover. Jam-packed with explosive information about U.S. involvement, Cheri fully demonstrates why there is a similar crisis lurking subversively inside America and exposes Islam for the devious system of takeover that it is.

Beruhen die sich häufenden aggressiven Akte gegen Nichtmuslime und Glaubensabweichler im Namen des Islam auf einer Fehldeutung seiner Lehren oder sind sie deren Folge? Das Anliegen des vorliegenden Buches besteht darin, einschlägige klassische, z.T. auch moderne Quellen und Dokumente hinsichtlich der genannten Fragestellung zu überprüfen und dem Leser kritisch-wissenschaftlich aufbereitete Grundlagen und Fakten zu vermitteln, die eine tiefer gehende Orientierung ermöglichen.Das Buch behandelt anhand zahlreicher Originalquellen v.a. des klassischen Islam (Koran, Prophetentradition, Scharia etc.) die Stellung der Nichtmuslime im islamischen Ideengebäude. Diese wird im Zusammenhang mit den Kernbotschaften des Koran - etwa seiner besonders radikalen Auslegung des Monotheismus und davon abgeleiteter Schlussfolgerungen - systematisch nachvollzogen, und zwar im Hinblick auf Jenseitsvorstellungen (Paradies und Hölle) und diesseitige Konsequenzen (universaler Herrschafts- und Unterwerfungsanspruch), verbunden mit Hinweisen auf ideengeschichtliche Ursprünge einer Reihe in ihm zu findender inhaltlicher Aussagen. In diesem Rahmen werden auch Einzelthemen (wie Dschihad, Selbstmordattentate, Terror etc.), die in der öffentlichen Debatte eine zunehmende Rolle spielen, ausführlich angesprochen. Ein eigener Abschnitt erörtert auch gegenwärtige Entwicklungen der "neoislamischen Renaissance", die erkennbar an traditionellen Lehren ansetzt, sowie einige daraus resultierende Gefahren für die nichtmuslimischen Länder. Die systematisch angeführten und ausgewerteten Quellen traditioneller und moderner Herkunft machen die Schrift (auch) zu einem Quellen- und Studienbuch zum Thema.

Scott Atran has spent years talking to terrorists - from Gaza and Afghanistan, to Indonesia and Europe. Here he argues persuasively that to understand religious violence we need to consider terrorists' close relationships, with family and friends, as much as the causes they espouse. He delivers a fascinating journey into the mindsets of radicalised people in the twenty-first century, and deep insights into the history of all religions.

The turn of the twenty-first century has seen an ever-increasing profile for religion, contrary to long-standing predictions of its decline. Instead, the West has experienced what some call a realignment of religion where it persists in conjunction with other institutions and structures. Outside the West, religion is an ever more prominent force in social and political movements of both reform and retrenchment. Across these contexts, no issue in religion is of as much concern as fundamentalism or rather the fundamentalisms within various traditions which are seen to be fomenting religious, social, ethnic, and political tension and conflict. The contributions to this volume represent the first effort to look at fundamental is ms and the media together and address the resulting relations and interactions from critical perspectives of history, technology, geography, and practice. The result lays important groundwork for scholarship on these new and increasingly important phenomena.
