“The people on the streets of Egypt and Tunisia and Libya and Syria and Iran have done more to defeat the ideology of Al Qaeda than anything that the United States has done. They have shown that there is a third way, that with peaceful protest you can have an end to dictatorship and a role for human dignity, a role for your religious faith in society.” PeopleWayHumansEndsStatesDoneReligiousUnitedRolesUnited StatesStreetsDignityThirdsDefeatPeacefulIdeologyProtestIranAlsDictatorshipSyriaEgyptReligious FaithAl QaedaHuman DignityLibyaPeaceful ProtestTunisia Author:Reza Aslan
“Susannah Heschel's The Aryan Jesus is a brilliant and erudite investigation of the convergence between major trends in German Protestantism and Nazi racial anti-Semitism. By concentrating on the history of the Institute for the Study and Eradication of Jewish Influence on German Religious Life, Heschel describes in forceful detail the Nazification of all aspects of Protestant theology, including the Aryanization of Jesus himself. This is a highly original and important contribution to our understanding of the Third Reich.” ImportantJesusUnderstandingReligiousStudyInfluenceMajorsAspectThirdsOriginalsIncludingDetailsBrilliantTheologyContributionTrendsInvestigationNaziInstituteProtestantsConcentratingAnti SemitismProtestantismReligious LifeConvergenceEruditeImportant Contributions Author:Saul Friedlander
“Two-thirds of the Iranian people would like to be reconciled with the West. They don't like the fanaticism of the governing religious council. It's the only place in the world where the last six elections have been won by the more progressive candidate, two for president, two for the mayors, two for the parliament. So most people there are sympathetic to the world we Americans want to build, whether we're Republicans or Democrats. On the other hand, almost everybody there wants them to have nuclear power. They see it as a status symbol, and a sense of their own security.” PeopleWorldWantHas BeensTwoHandsLastsPresidentReligiousSecurityRepublicanSixThirdsElectionWestDemocratNuclearSymbolsCandidatesProgressiveParliamentCouncilGoverningFanaticismSympatheticMayorsPlaces In The WorldIranianNuclear PowerStatus Symbol Author:William J.

“Well, years and years ago, I started to ask myself three very simple questions, which dominated my life for many years. One of them was, "Why are organizations everywhere, whether commercial, social, or religious, increasingly unable to manage their affairs?" The second question was, "Why are individuals throughout the world increasingly in conflict with and alienated from the organizations of which they're a part?" And the third was, "Why are society and the biosphere increasingly in disarray?"” WorldYearsWellsThreeAsksIndividualSocialReligiousSimpleBusinessConflictYears AgoOrganizationThirdsAffairManageBiosphereYear OneDisarray Author:Dee Hock
“A man in this world must solve a problem: to be with Christ, or to be against Him. And every man decides this, whether he wants to or not. He will either be a lover of Christ or a fighter of Christ.
