Religious Fundamentalism

Born and raised in Essex, Maajid Nawaz was recruited into politicised Islam as a teenager. Abandoning his love of hip-hop music, graffiti and girls, he was recruited into Hizb ut-Tahrir (the Liberation Party), where he played a leading and international role in the shaping and dissemination of an aggressive anti-West narrative. While studying for his Arabic and law degree, he travelled around the UK and to Denmark and Pakistan, setting up new cells.

In Journey to Reason, author Mark Alsip took listeners inside the minds of religious fundamentalists, exposing the dangerous undercurrents beneath their beliefs. Now, in Bound by Faith, he returns with a stark reminder: the threats he once cautioned about are no longer hypothetical—they're unfolding in real time.

Fundamentalism reeks. If fundamentalism reeked for one or two reasons, we may not need to address it. But fundamentalism reeks for a multitude of reasons. Fundamentalism reeks for at least 95 reasons.

In 1972, Perry Bulwer, a naive sixteen-year-old growing up in Port Alberni, a mill town on Vancouver Island, dropped out of high school to run away with the Children of God, one of a number of millennial Christian cults that sprang up in the 1960s and 1970s. Bulwer takes the listener on an extraordinary trip through the world of biblical literalism, fundamentalist endtime fantasies, paranormal spirituality, evangelical extremism, ritual abuse, and liberally interpreted Biblical teachings that were used to justify licentious sexual doctrines, evangelical prostitution, and child sexual abuse.

Sekter findes overalt i vores samfund, men de kan være svære at få øje på. De eksisterer dog i bedste velgående, og der er mange. I serien SEKTENS GREB fortæller tidligere medlemmer fra blandet andet Jehovas Vidner, Faderhuset, og Evangelist/Powerhouse om deres vej ind og ud af et sekterisk miljø. Vi går bag om de problematikker, som sekter skaber. Vi tager hele rejsen fra den første kontakt og rekruttering til sekten, til sektens psykologi, livet i en sekt, livet som pårørende, exit og de ofte meget store kon­sekvenser, det har at have tilhørt en sekt.

A nation once synonymous with tolerance, Indonesia, the fourth most populous country in the world, and the world's most populous Muslim country, now finds itself in the midst of a profound shift toward radical Islam. Sadanand Dhume, a Princeton-educated Indian atheist with a fondness for literary fiction and an interest in economic development, travels to Indonesia to find out how a society goes from broad inclusiveness to shrill intolerance in the space of a generation. His traveling companion is Herry Nurdi, a young Islamist who hero-worships Osama bin Laden.

Religionen werden maßgeblich durch ihre Medien geprägt – z. B. Judentum, Christentum und Islam von ihren jeweiligen Alphabeten und dem darauf basierenden Denken. Digitalisierung bedeutet daher auch, dass Kirchen und Religionen immer weniger als unabhängige Akteure erscheinen, sondern als Varianten von "Religion" insgesamt wahrgenommen werden. Gegen den Trend zur globalen Vereinheitlichung stemmen sich religiöse Fundamentalisten, die seriöse Wissenschaften, freiheitliche Gesellschaften und andere Religionen bekämpfen.

The Book of Revelation is by far the most explosive prophecy of our day, and many people are now convinced that we are living in the time period that John the mystic wrote about nearly 2000 years ago. With the advent of the 21st Century, hundreds of religious cults and biblical scholars, and the major religions of Islam, Christianity and Judaism are all predicting some type of catastrophic global upheaval. However, as mankind has been reminded for centuries, no one knows the hour or the day when all of this will suddenly happen.

Ralph Waldo Emerson was an American philosopher, lecturer, essayist, and poet, who is best remembered for leading the Transcendentalist movement of the mid-19th century. He was a a champion of individualism and wrote dozens of essays. Most criics consider "Self-Reliance" his best.

Il presente audiolibro (narrato da Antonello Macchiaroli) è stato elaborato sulla base dell'ultima edizione dell'opera pubblicata in Firenze il 1865 dalla Tipografia Claudiana con il titolo "Gesù e Gesuita" di Napoléon Roussel (15 novembre 1805-1878). L'originale del libro in argomento, ha sopravvissuto sufficientemente per non essere più protetto dai diritti di copyright che sono scaduti per diventare di pubblico dominio. "...un gesuita, con la bolla Unigenitus alla mano, divenne l`arbitro della Francia e la riempì di terrore."

The Chinese New Year is certainly an interesting time of year, not just for those that celebrate it first-hand but for anyone to witness or observe as an important global phenomenon. The changing date of the holiday fluctuates from January to February on today's calendar because, as with all traditional Chinese holidays, it follows the lunar calendar. This tradition can be seen throughout parts of Asia and is not limited to just the mainland of China.
