Religious discrimination / by Parks, Peggy J.,1951-author.(CARDINAL)650343;
Includes bibliographical references and index.The ugliness of bigotry -- How serious a problem is religious discrimination? -- Religious hate crimes -- Religious discrimination in the workplace -- How people are hurt by religious discrimination -- When religious beliefs clash with civil rights."When someone disapproves of individuals or groups solely because of their religion, the person is said to be prejudiced or bigoted. Although not everyone acts on such feelings, bigotry is at the root of religious discrimination. Choosing not to live in the same neighborhood as Jewish families, refusing to rent an apartment or sell a home to Muslims, or telling a young man of the Sikhism religion that he cannot wear his turban in school or at work, are just a few examples of religious discrimination. In the worst possible situations bigotry leads to criminal activity, which is known as a religious hate crime. Hate crimes are serious, often deadly, crimes such as arson (fire-setting), other types of property damage or destruction, assault, rape, and/or murder. What makes them hate crimes is that they are committed because of religious hatred"--Grades 9-12.

Antisemitism And Islamophobia / by Idzikowski, Lisa,editor.(CARDINAL)612961;
Includes bibliographical references and index"When the Palestinian militant organization Hamas launched brutal attacks on Israel on October 7, 2023, it sent shock waves across the world. In the aftermath, Israel launched a counterattack on the Gaza Strip, home of Hamas as well as millions of Palestinians. As a result of these attacks, tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians have been injured or killed. Both events have resulted in strong emotional responses and impassioned calls for action from politicians, aid organizations, and civilians on a global scale, but the same strong emotions have also become visible through a rise in antisemitism, which is prejudice and hostility toward Jewish people, and Islamophobia, which is prejudice and hostility toward Muslims. This volume examines recent patterns of antisemitism and Islamophobia in the U.S. and abroad, how they relate to the history of religion-based prejudice, and possible solutions to curb prejudice and hate" --

The new religious intolerance : overcoming the politics of fear in an anxious age / by Nussbaum, Martha C.(Martha Craven),1947-(CARDINAL)718551;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 247-267) and index.Religion: a time of anxiety and suspicion -- Fear: a narcissistic emotion -- First principles: equal respect for conscience -- The mote in my brother's eye: impartiality and the examined life -- Inner eyes: respect and the sympathetic imagination -- The case of Park51 -- Overcoming the politics of fear."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." -- Provided by publisher.

Bloodlines : race, cross, and the Christian / by Piper, John,1946-(CARDINAL)719955;
Includes bibliographical references and indexes.Pt. 1. Our world : the need for the Gospel -- pt. 2. God's word : the power of the Gospel.Genocide. Terrorism. Hate crimes. In a world where racism is far from dead, is unity amidst diversities even remotely possible? Sharing from his own experiences growing up in the segregated South, pastor John Piper thoughtfully exposes the unremitting problem of racism. Instead of turning finally to organizations, education, famous personalities, or government programs to address racial strife, Piper reveals the definitive source of hope -- teaching how the good news about Jesus Christ actively undermines the sins that feed racial strife, and leads to a many-colored and many-cultured kingdom of God. Learn to pursue ethnic harmony from a biblical perspective, and to relate to real people different from yourself, as you take part in the bloodline of Jesus that is comprised of "every tongue, tribe, and nation." - Publisher.

Lies that silence Christians [videorecording] by Coral Ridge Ministries.(CARDINAL)822654; Cass, Gary.; Garlow, Jim.; Lutzer, Erwin W.(CARDINAL)507540; Staver, Mathew D.,1956-(CARDINAL)386636; Tackett, Del.;
"Lies That Silence Christians is an essential DVD that exposes many of the false claims made about Christian civic engagement. The lies include statements like "the separation of church and state is in the Constitution," "Christians and politics don't mix," and "you can't legislate morality." One lie even asserts that churches need to become more 'accommodating' in order to appeal to the culture. On this insightful program, experts debunk these lies and help believers understand their duty to stand for Christ in all areas of our culture."--Product description from website.Digital video disc.
