The International Journal for the Study of New Religions (IJSNR) seeks paper submissions.

If you have an original research paper about new and minority religions as well as new developments within older religions related to but not only to the migration process, consider publishing it with IJSNR. Papers discussing the (non)adaptation of minority religions to the law, their position within religion and state relations, and media representation of minority religions are also welcome.

The War-Locks and The Hem-Locks and the The Dread-Locks: Have any of you questioned why Israelites are behaving they way they are behaving, hating, brewing hate, and harming Palestinians, bombing them, expelling them, evicting them from their homes and Palestine, usurping their homes, usurping their property, stealing with self-authorised permits and auto-biographed authorisations ? Creating Apartheid, Walls, Barriers, Discriminating, Separating, and Out-Casting Palestinians ? This is abhorrent aberrant behaviour of hating others and stealing from others ? Where are the expelled Palestinians supposed to go ? Why are the expelled families not recompensated or resettled ? Why are Israelites carrying out these barbaric crimes of hatred and Evil ? Why dont Jewish people condemn Israelites and Zionists ? Why are Jewish people and Jewish Race silent and supportive of the War crimes in Israel by Israelites and Jewry War-locks and Hem-locks ? Why don't Jewry condemn the Apartheid of Israelite Jews and JEWISH ZIONSTS ? WHY IS THEIR RACE SO SO SILENT ABOUT THESE CRIMES ?

The 2017 ban by the Russian government of the Jehovah’s Witnesses on account of their being an extremist organization has prodded religious and human rights scholars into assessing their social and legal situation in several countries in order to contextualize the rationale behind the ban. Thirteen specialists participated in the seminar “Jehovah’s Witnesses and Their Opponents: Russia, the West, and Beyond” organized on September 3, 2020, by CESNUR, the New Religions Research and Information Center of Vilnius, Lithuania, and Vytautas Magnus University of Kaunas, Lithuania.
