The most amazing Jewish story of Gallipoli and the ANZAC Light Horsemen ever published in Australia. John Henry Patterson (1867-1947) was a non-Jewish British army officer who sought to help the Jews to create a Jewish state in Palestine. He was involved with such major figures as Vladimir Jabotinsky and Trumpledor. Jabotinsky and Patterson also believed that Jews, within the boundaries of a Jewish state in Palestine, would treat peaceful minorities with much more compassion and tolerance than they themselves would be treated if they attempted to be the peaceful minority.
'È mia intenzione mettere a disagio molte persone: non solo i musulmani, ma anche i difensori occidentali dell'Islam. Voglio sfidare secoli di ortodossia religiosa con idee e argomenti che, sono certa, saranno definiti eretici: l'Islam non è una religione di pace." Impegnata da sempre nella difesa dei diritti umani, con opinioni radicali che le sono già valse una fatwa, Ayaan Hirsi Ali è una delle voci più potenti e controverse del mondo islamico. In questo libro tesse insieme analogie storiche ed esempi illuminanti della società musulmana contemporanea per denunciare la violenza che pervade le dottrine e i testi sacri islamici. Perché, se davvero vogliamo fermare la violenza politica perpetrata in nome della fede, è indispensabile una riforma radicale. Solo così, e con una presa di posizione chiara dell'Occidente, sarà possibile costruire un Islam libero dalla sharia, dal terrorismo e dall'oppressione delle donne: "Non vedo altra via, per noi, verso il futuro: altra via, almeno, che non sia disseminata di cadaveri".

Global Women Leaders: Studies in Feminist Political Rhetoric demonstrates the ways in which women have used political rhetoric and political discourse to provide leadership, or assert their right to leadership, on a global level. This collection fits into the robust research area of international political women and their use of language in gaining and maintaining political power. It casts a wider net in terms of discussing women’s efforts to assert and preserve their roles of authority, particularly when their audiences may perceive their authority as illegitimate due to gender. Chapters dedicated to Elizabeth II and Sheikha Moza Bint Nasser discuss the more traditional ways in which women leaders use language to construct political power. Other chapters focus on women who serve as political activists, either individually or as part of a group, including Aasma Mahfouz of the Egyptian Revolution of 2011 and the women who help direct United Nations policy through their speeches in the General Assembly. Global Women Leaders will appeal to scholars of political communication and international rhetoric.
