SCANDAL ROCKS AMISH CLAN: MURDER, SEXUAL DEPRAVITY. Forget the images of 19th century farmers, close-knit families, and hard-working craftsmen immune to the stresses of our modern times.

Once the symbol of better, simpler times, the closeted world of the Amish is now in the spotlight and at the center of growing controversies. Chris Burkholder, the son of an Amish bishop, has shattered the silence. At the cost of being excommunicated and ostracized by his own father, Chris reveals what it is like to grow up in a world where brainwashing, terrifying violence and sexual depravity are commonplace. In Amish Confidential: The Bishop’s Son Shatters the Silence, Chris Burkholder shares his harrowing tale of abuse and reasons that compelled him to leave his family and faith in search of a new life among the ‘sinful and condemned world’ of the rest of us Americans.

From the 1950s through the 1990s, antisemitism everywhere seemed to be on the wane. But as Neil Kressel documents in this startling book, the Muslim world has resurrected in recent decades almost every diatribe that more than two millennia of European hostility produced against the Jews, and it has introduced many homegrown and novel modes of attack. Though it is impossible to determine precisely how many of the world’s 1.2 billion Muslims hold anti-Jewish beliefs, Kressel finds that much bigotry comes from the highest levels of religious and political leadership.Compounding the problem, as Kressel demonstrates, many in the West refuse to recognize this issue. The growing epidemic of hate has been largely ignored, misunderstood, or downplayed, Kressel reveals, because of apathy, ignorance, confusion, bigotry, ideology, purported pragmatism, and misguided multiculturalism. Those who value human rights ignore antisemitism at their own risk, he cautions, noting that no antisemitic regime or movement has ever been otherwise reasonable or progressive. Kressel argues convincingly that Muslim antisemitism provides an acid test of the seriousness of Western liberalism. If the West fails to stem this growing tide, as now seems likely, future affairs will not go well for the true proponents of democracy. Kressel moves beyond sounding the alarm to explore the diverse religious, political, social, and psychological forces that have created and nurtured the new hostility to Jews in the Muslim world; he concludes with a bold and clear plan for what must be done to confront this hostility.

« EnchaÃnÃe par le cou à un arbre, privÃe de toute libertÃ, celle de bouger, de s'asseoir, de se lever ; celle de parler ou de se taire ; celle de boire ou de manger ; et même la plus ÃlÃmentaire, celle d'assouvir les besoins de son corps... J'ai pris conscience – après de longues annÃes – que l'on garde tout de même la plus prÃcieuse de toutes, la libertà que personne ne peut jamais vous ôter : celle de dÃcider qui l'on veut être. » Même le silence a une fin raconte les six ans et demi de captività d'Ingrid Betancourt dans la jungle colombienne aux mains des FARC. RÃcit intime d'une aventure qui ne ressemble à aucune autre, voyage hantÃ, palpitant du dÃbut à la fin, c'est aussi une mÃditation sur la condition des damnÃs – et sur ce qui fonde la nature humaine.

Find out what he discovered on 9/11 and venture with him down into the literal pit of hell.
