Week of November 16, 2015

Friday night's terrorist acts in Paris remind me where extremist philosophies can lead, and it is important to remember that they do not reflect the typical Muslim. The Nazi's were German Christians, and they did not reflect the majority of Christians in Germany when they came to power in 1933. The Nazi's were able to play on the fear and anxieties of the typical German following the Treaty of Versailles. The fears and anxieties fundamentalist Muslims play upon will be discussed this week. We will also see how Gandhi dealt with the fear and anxieties of his day.  Remember that Gandhi was a contemporary of both Hitler and Stalin, and helped to develop the concept of Civil disobedience as a means of change.
