See Something Say Nothing: A Homeland Security Officer Exposes the Government's Submission to Jihad , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 520min
One day after a prominent US Muslim leader reacted to the November 2015 Paris attacks with a declaration that the Islamic State, also known as ISIS, has nothing to do with Islam, President Obama made the same assertion. Who exactly is the enemy we face, not only in the Middle East but also within our borders? Is it "murderers without a coherent creed"; or "nihilistic killers who want to tear things down", as some described ISIS after 130 people were brutally slain and another 368 injured in a coordinated attack on Western soil that authorities say was organized with help from inside France's Muslim communities. After the Paris attacks, Obama himself, described ISIS as "simply a network of killers who are brutalizing local populations." When the Department of Homeland Security was founded in 2003, its stated purpose was "preventing terrorist attacks within the United States and reducing America's vulnerability to terrorism." The Bush administration's definition of the enemy as a tactic, terrorism, rather than a specific movement, proved consequential amid a culture of political correctness. By the time President Obama took office, Muslim Brotherhood-linked leaders in the United States were forcing changes to national security policy and even being invited into the highest chambers of influence. A policy known as Countering Violent Extremism emerged, downplaying the threat of supremacist Islam as unrelated to the religion and just one among many violent ideological movements. When recently retired DHS frontline officer and intelligence expert Philip Haney bravely tried to say something about the people and organizations that threatened the nation, his intelligence information was eliminated, and he was investigated by the very agency assigned to protect the country. The national campaign by the DHS to raise public awareness of terrorism and terrorism-related crime known as If You See Something, Say Something effectively has become If You Se ungekürzt.

We Are Charleston: Tragedy and Triumph at Mother Emanuel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 517min
We Are Charleston not only recounts the events of that terrible day but also offers a history lesson that reveals a deeper look at the suffering, triumph, and even the ongoing rage of the people who formed Mother Emanuel A.M.E. church and the wider denominational movement. On June 17, 2015, at 9:05 p.m., a young man with a handgun opened fire on a prayer meeting at the Mother Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church in Charleston, South Carolina, killing nine members of the congregation. The captured shooter, 21-year-old Dylan Roof, a white supremacist, was charged with their murders. Two days after the shooting, while Roof's court hearing was held on videoconference, the families of his nine victims, one by one, appeared on the screen - forgiving the killer. The "Emanuel Nine" set a profound example for their families, their city, their nation, and indeed the world. We Are Charleston not only recounts the events of that terrible day but also offers a history lesson that reveals a deeper look at the suffering, the triumph, and even the ongoing rage of the people who formed Mother Emanuel AME church and the wider denominational movement. In many ways this church's story is America's story - the oldest AME church in the Deep South fighting for freedom and civil rights but also fighting for grace and understanding. Fighting to transcend bigotry, fraud, hatred, racism, poverty, and misery. The shootings in June 2015 opened up a deep wound of racism that still permeates Southern institutions and remains part of American society. We Are Charleston tells the story of a people, continually beaten down, who seem to continually triumph over the worst adversity. Exploring the storied history of the AME Church may be a way of explaining the price and power of forgiveness, a way of revealing God's mercy in the midst of tremendous pain. ungekürzt.

From Broken Glass: My Story of Finding Hope in Hitler's Death Camps to Inspire a New Generation , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 371min
From the survivor of 10 Nazi concentration camps who went on to create the New England Holocaust Memorial, an inspiring memoir about finding strength in the face of despair. On August 14, 2017, two days after a white-supremacist activist rammed his car into a group of anti-Fascist protestors, killing one and injuring 19, the New England Holocaust Memorial was vandalized for the second time in as many months. At the base of one of its fifty-four-foot glass towers lay a pile of shards. For Steve Ross, the image called to mind Kristallnacht, the Night of Broken Glass in which German authorities and civilians ransacked Jewish-owned buildings with sledgehammers. Ross was eight years old when the Nazis invaded his Polish village, forcing his family to flee. He spent his next six years in a day-to-day struggle to survive the notorious camps in which he was imprisoned, Auschwitz-Birkenau and Dachau among them. When he was finally liberated, he no longer knew how old he was, he was literally starving to death, and everyone in his family save for his brother had been killed. Ross learned in his darkest experiences - by observing and enduring inconceivable cruelty as well as by receiving compassion from caring fellow prisoners - the human capacity to rise above even the bleakest circumstances. He decided to devote himself to underprivileged youth, aiming to ensure that despite the obstacles in their lives they would never experience suffering like he had. Over the course of a nearly 40-year career as a psychologist working in the Boston city schools, that was exactly what he did. At the end of his career, he spearheaded the creation of the New England Holocaust Memorial, a site millions of people, including young students, visit every year. Equal parts heartrending, brutal, and inspiring, From Broken Glass is the story of how one man survived the unimaginable and inspired a new generation to help forge a more compassionate wor ungekürzt.

Ruby Ridge and Waco: The History and Legacy of the Federal Government's Notorious Sieges of the Weaver Family and Branch Davidians , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 134min
In the summer of 1992, federal agents surrounded a few acres of land isolated in Ruby Ridge, Idaho, where Randy Weaver, his wife Vicki, his 14 year old son Samuel, and his three young daughters were staying. Weaver was a former Green Beret who had come to the attention of the ATF and other federal agencies for a number of reasons, including associations with white supremacist groups and the possession of illegal shotguns. After being arrested and released on bail in 1991, Weaver failed to appear in court when necessary and was thus treated as a fugitive, bringing in the involvement of US Marshals. For the rest of that year, attempts to bring in Weaver were rebuffed, and Weaver threatened to shoot anyone who came to his cabin to bring him in. Federal agents from the US Marshal Service and FBI surrounded the area on August 21 and wound up engaging in a firefight that ended in the deaths of 14 year old Samuel, one of the family dogs, and Marshal Bill Degan, who was shot by Weaver's friend Kevin Harris. On August 22, the federal agents were given new rules of engagement that were much more lax when it came to authorizing the use of deadly force. Instead of using the standard FBI policy that authorized deadly force to prevent suffering grievous harm as a method of self-defense, the agents, including snipers, were given the green light to shoot Randy and Kevin Harris if they were carrying weapons, regardless of whether they were actually targeting the federal agents. They were also authorized to shoot any adult after they surrendered if they were carrying a weapon. Before negotiators could even reach the scene on the 22nd, an FBI sniper shot Randy in the back as he headed towards the shed where his son's body lay. As Randy, his 16 year old daughter Sara, and Harris headed back for cover in the cabin, the same sniper fired a shot at Harris' chest, which wounded him but also struck and killed Vicki, who was standing behind the cabin door holding her 10 month old ungekürzt.

It IS About Islam | Summary and Analysis of Glen Beck's It IS About Islam , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 43min
Summary and analysis of Glen Beck's It IS About Islam: Exposing the Truth About ISIS, Al Qaeda, Iran, and the Caliphate Learn about the Muslim terrorist threat in a fraction of the time it takes to read/listen to the actual book! Glenn Beck begins his book with a stark declaration. The atrocities committed by some Muslims against non-believers of Islam are sanctioned by the Qur'an. Chapters (Sura) in the Qur'an tell followers of Islam it is their duty to declare war against non-believers: "Fight against those who believe not in Allah, nor the last day." Other chapters condone taking of prisoners in war: "So, when you meet those who disbelieve, smite at their necks, then bind a bond firmly." (Meaning: Take them as captives) Further chapters tell that slaves, or captives, can be killed, sold, or ransomed back to their families. Beck continues by describing how there are Islamist fanatics all around us who are plotting to kill us in various ways. These fanatics operate under a religion which calls for the murder of anyone who doesn't submit to it. He also points out that not every Muslim believes in the violent actions some followers do. Not every Muslim condones the enforcement of sharia law. He then goes on to describe the difference between Islam and Islamism, with Islam being the religion of one-and-a-half billion people worldwide. Islamism is a supremacist regime that wants to enforce Islamic holy law, globally. Islamists, Beck explains, range from terrorists, such as members of Al-Qaida and ISIS, but also include many Muslims who believe everyone should follow their religion and see those who do not as lower class. He also points out that there are Muslims you work with, live next door to, and might have as part of your family who are targets of the Islamists as well. They believe in bringing Islam into the 21st century and making it compatible with other religions and by doing so are seen as not Muslim eno ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bob Arthur.

The Routledge Handbook of Religion and Secrecy (eBook, ePUB)
Secrecy is a central and integral component of all religious traditions. Not limited simply to religious groups that engage in clandestine activities such as hidden rites of initiation or terrorism, secrecy is inherent in the very fabric of religion itself. Its importance has perhaps never been more acutely relevant than in our own historical moment. In the wake of 9/11 and other acts of religious violence, we see the rise of invasive national security states that target religious minorities and pose profound challenges to the ideals of privacy and religious freedom, accompanied by the resistance by many communities to such efforts. As such, questions of secrecy, privacy, surveillance, and security are among the most central and contested issues of twenty-first century religious life. The Routledge Handbook of Religion and Secrecy is the definitive reference source for the key topics, problems, and debates in this crucial field and is the first collection of its kind. Comprising twenty-nine chapters by a team of international contributors, the Handbook is divided into five parts: Configurations of Religious Secrecy: Conceptual and Comparative Frameworks Secrecy as Religious Practice Secrecy and the Politics of the Present Secrecy and Social Resistance Secrecy, Terrorism, and Surveillance. This cutting-edge volume discusses secrecy in relation to major categories of religious experience and individual religious practices while also examining the transformations of secrecy in the modern period, including the rise of fraternal orders, the ongoing wars on terror, the rise of far-right white supremacist groups, increasing concerns over religious freedom and privacy, the role of the internet in the spread and surveillance of such groups, and the resistance to surveillance by many indigenous and diasporic communities. The Routledge Handbook of Religion and Secrecy is essential reading for students and researchers in religious studies, comparative religion, new religious movements, and religion and politics. It will be equally central to debates in the related disciplines of sociology, anthropology, political science, security studies and cultural studies.- Shop: buecher

Through a Trail of Tears: A Black Family's Story of Generational Wealth (eBook, ePUB)
The United States and the world are inundated with social media, books, magazines and televised media about the plight of African American families and communities, and their quest for universal freedom. The fight for Black freedom and dignity has its roots in the race riots of Oklahoma, the Timothy McVeigh bombing, and the many other atrocities that have been, and continue to be, leveled against African Americans, Native Americans and other citizens of color in the United States. In the context of the global struggle of Black or Brown skin women, there have been many women who fought against the white supremacist system and who have not been included in the historical narratives. Simply put, Ermestine's courage and perseverance in fighting the real estate industry laid the foundation upon which obtaining property wealth and housing were improved. She refused to be caged by the chains of society and rejected being a prisoner like a crab in a fish tank being clawed over and pushed back. She was a hard hitter in a city that refused to allow Blacks housing opportunities beyond the boundaries imposed upon them. She fought for Black women in particular, promoting opportunities to achieve their full potential. Before my mother's diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease in 2015, Ermestine Martin had built a sizable fortune for her family, while constantly supporting her community through educational advocacy and preaching about the need to acquire and hold on to property as a means of self-determination for both present and future generations. Alzheimer's was the final game-changer for my mother, as she lost the ability to reason, and could no longer navigate day-to-day living without help. She is still a talker, though! Those battles she encountered years ago are still fresh in her mind. And her stories are unfiltered anger. The prevalence of discrimination in mortgage lending, and the race-based system of justice, still loom large in those stories. The government has only taken baby steps toward addressing the concept of reparations. Descendants of enslaved black people persistently deal with wealth gaps, and Jim Crow treatment, even today.- Shop: buecher
