Der brodelnde Konflikt im Iran - präzise analysiert von Nahost-Experte Michael Lüders. Der Orient kommt nicht zur Ruhe. Während die Kämpfe vor allem in Syrien andauern, zeichnet sich bereits der nächste Konflikt ab: Präsident Trump und seine Verbündeten nehmen den Iran ins Visier.

Ist der Iran wirklich ein "Schurkenstaat"?

But following the 1979 Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, a new form of jihadism emerged - global jihad - turning to the international arena as the primary locus of ideology and action. With this book, Glenn E. Robinson develops a compelling and provocative argument about this violent political movement's evolution.

The startling revelation that they are their own worst enemies forces a painful decision: Will they forsake the lives they once knew for an uncertain future?

أَبْلِغْ سُلَيْمَى بِأَنَّ البَيْنَ قَدْ أَفِدَا وَانْبِئْ سُلَيْمَى بِأَنَّا رَائِحُونَ غَدَا وَقُلْ لَهَا كَيْفَ أَنْ يَلْقَاكِ خَالِيَةً فَلَيْسَ مَنْ بَانَ لَمْ يَعْهَدْ كَمَا عَهِدَا نَعْهَدْ إِلَيْكِ فَأوْفِينَا بِعَهْدَتِنَا يَا أَصْدَقَ النَّاسِ مَوْعُوداً إِذَا وَعَدَا

أَلَسْتِ أَحْسَنَ مَنْ يَمْشِي عَلَى قَدَمٍ يَا أَمْلَحَ النَّاسِ كُلِّ النَّاسِ إِنْسَانَا طَارَ الفُؤَادُ مَعَ الخَوْدِ الَّتِي طَرَقَتْ فِي النَّوْمِ طَيِّبَةَ الأَعْطَافِ مِبْدَانَا إِنَّ العُيُونَ الَّتِي فِي طَرْفِهَا حَوَرٌ قَتَلْنَنَا ثُمَّ لَمْ يُحْيِينَ قَتْلَانَا يَصْرَعْنَ ذَا اللُبِّ حَتَّى لَا حَرَاكَ بِهِ وَهُنَّ أَضْعَفُ خَلْقِ اللهِ أَرْكَانَا لَقَدْ كَتَمْتُ الهَوَى حَتَّى تَهَيَّمَنِي لَا أَسْتَطِيعُ لِهَذَا الحُبِّ كِتْمَانَا

Women are expected to be many things. They should be creative, but not crazy; passionate, but not angry. They should be fertile, feminine and self-reliant, not barren, butch or solitary. Women, in other words, are caught between social expectations and a much more complicated reality. In The Defiant Middle, Kaya Oakes draws on the wisdom of women mystics and explores how transitional eras or living in marginalized female identities can be both spiritually challenging and wonderfully freeing, ultimately resulting in a reinvented way of seeing the world and changing it.
