Non, Non, on est encore la pret a foutre le souk et tout le monde est Corda!
(no no... still here! Ready to put all upside down and everybody says Hail!)
"LA LIBERTE D'EXPRESSION, LAISSER MOI GOL-RI, ILS SUBISSENT TOUS DES PRESSIONS NON MAIS C'EST PAS DES CONNERIES!"
"Freedom of speech! Let me Laugh out Loud! They're all under pressure, no, that's not bullshit i can tell you!"
Hi,
I am a French Muslim. From Paris. This concerns me more than all of you. I've read All what you can find on the net until I reached the End, feeling my own intimate and core contradiction (I'm an Apostate…). From there: all what you say is rubbish intellectual Masturbation, any approach focused on either the "freedom of speech" or the "morality of" (religion or whatever!) will not dare see the Big Picture that the singular event Hides. Let me help you ALL... It is easy to get Blind or arrogant (or made blind, full of pretense intelligence..) In a state of disbelief, we all use the world "Believe", irrespective of your secular and religious convictions :
a Sign of the Times!…
NOBODY KNOWS, ANYMORE – BECAUSE NOBODY FACES – THE REAL TRUTH!!!!
So let me just wonder, publicly, without decency, into this indecent business, like a Real One – Parisian Muslim, Speaking his Heart in this Mess (Oh: cos yes… BTW, yes, this is an indecent Business, yes – much less to do with morals than what the appearance show…) Nobody in the west wants (dare) to include this aspect/opinion, in the hate-speech fight – political correctness: ME "i PERSONALLY don't like gays, IN GENERAL FOR WHAT THEY REPRESENT", but ok! I won't kill any, and I respect their persons (my brother is, if YOU really want to push me to know WHY I AM IN RIGHT to think so – which is NONE of your business!)…
So accordingly… I think Charlie Hebdo HAD to be more careful because there was a "past" of threats to them and other PAMPHLET journals, regarding exactly the same provocation, as the one that lead to the drama, so they ARE somewhat Suicidal and irresponsible – calling for the Devil!… WHATEVER YOU THINK. They have no say in THIS area… which uses LGBT or whichever "sexual orientation" influences in cartoons (FEMEN, one of the most provocative boobs showing "radical" feminist movement, became one of the best friends of the journal) when talking about Muslims/Islam: so childish!!! they should be very careful in provoking implicitly and making amalgams of what they THINK (selfishly), is a fight for Love Freedom/equalities, when there is such a delicate historical perception of both sexuality/homosexuality, in the Muslims world surviving these Modern times…
BESIDES… that Americans like it or not. Parisian subburbans are overwhelmingly anti-american. French rap music has been resisting the recuperation of rap by the music industry, like what happened in the USA (and lead to the disastrous raise of the "gangsta rap" style – which killed the Effective revolting power of the Music…).
All this preamble said, I can now be irreverent. And shout:
No. I am not Charlie. I am not a fucking sheep…
————-
I am
Ombres et Lumieres!
(Shawdows and Light)!
(A rap band from Marseille, the Phocean city where most French Arabic immigration came from…)
And who was singing that "J'aurais pus Croire" (I could have Believed), FUCKING already in 1993, and which in ONE SONG- summarized 40 years of Midle east conflicts…!!
The Vid is here (check that Sound even if you don't get French – it's a Bomb!!!!)
Some Translated Lyrics here
———-
I could have believed George Bush but alas
His vision of the USA does nothing for me
2 tiers Justice for white and blacks
The World's police earns no awards.
*
They went to clean Koweit for oil and money
Yet no care for rights in the land of the clan
Arms dealers count well : Patriots are pricey
Soldiers in the desert look cool from an armchair.
*
It seems George likes the shiites but mostly
When he's between Koweit and Irak
The Kurds can wait as they only live
North of Bagdad near the Turkish border.
*
Justice guy applies the resolutions he wants
And leaves the White House for fire works
But when a Tomahawk hits a hotel, well …
The Irakis aim poorly, it's normal.
*
Tell me, I'd like to know
How does it feel to bomb a land 6 000 years old
Nothing for the authors of genocide?
I could have trusted Bush but I won't.
*
I could have trusted Sadaam but sadly
He wrote ALLAH on the flag of Irakis
After having so many years persecuted,
Hunted fervent Muslims, how could he?
*
Sadaam, you won't make me believe
That you pray away from cameras and
Don't you remember that having your portrait
Plastered everywhere is not right by the Holy Kuran?
*
Blasphemy upon blasphemy you play Saladin
Forgetting maybe that he was Kurdish
Abusing your own people manipulator in chief
To what Holy war could you rightly call them?
Spoken text :
"The holy war in Arabic is : adjihad fissendi gilda,
The forces on the Path of God
A Vatican document specifies :
The Jihad is in no sense the biblical Lent,
yet doesn't tend to extermination but rather
to extend to new lands the rights of God and Men."
*
May those that serve good damn him
I could have trusted Sadaam but I won't
Believe me even if you want
But I don't.
*
I could have believed Israel although
Religions do not coexist peacefully when
Two thirds of the collective territory occupied
Were not in 48 by the UN attributed.
*
Looking at these newly arrived Russians'n Polish
That dislodged this old land's Palestian dwellers that
For thousands of years had toiled and cherished it.
*
They were driven to camps and there stripped…
Of rights and massacred in Sabra and Shatila.
Did not God teach to all races : Do not …
do unto others what you wouldn't like done to you?
*
After the barbary of those Nazi bastards,
I cannot believe that you acted that way
When I dreamt nights of twin brothers, Israel …
And Palestine Harmony, Equality, Sovereign
*
But bullets against stones, guns and rockets,
Thrown out the borders I cannot stay silent
The David in me has become Goliath and so
I could have trusted Israel but I cannot do so.
*
I could have trusted Khoneiny even the sectarism
But his credo lacks in and hurts my realism
Unable to dissociate tradition and Islam
Just by the way women he mistreated.
*
Never did God say anything so unjust and lame
And every Saint book is to be read with the spirit.
Mixing religion and politics only means to give
Victory over the ends to the means, body over the mind.
*
To the human facing the divine and now facing the Past,
If God on Earth you wish, no form of power you need,
History proved so in all eras and for myself,
I could have trusted ayatollahs but I do not, alas.
*
I could have believed the Occident if only
All of these Western lands had not had colonies
And cut them up like pies upon independence
So that today wars over maps erupt all over the Map.
*
Realistic despondency, what is your source
Swearing on nothing but the stock market,
You have your very own integrists, fanatics,
That burn movies houses or Medical clinics.
*
Reality shows on your dirty rotten telly
and voyeuristic copy for the grand-mommy?
Flashy make believe to keep people happy, TV.
I could have trusted the West but trust that I don't.
*
In all that chaotic mess, I know my own way
And from now on my path will not stray.
*
It's not without pride that I admit with feeling
That I could believe in God, in you, in me
and that I do!
Spoken text:
"They lived in one of those rare eras
of certainty where man knows
what he does and where he goes
Because he trust!"

Trust? Oh! That word is bleeding, in my Western-Muslim heart ; where the fuck is this? in YOUR dreamland???!
At 2am, 1st Jan 2015, alone in Oxford's streets going to catch my night bus after a gorgeous new years eve, a drunk guy grumbles "fucking paki…", make a step towards me – but I was very sober (for a new years eve) so i make a step aside to avoid the provocation… Recalling the ~7 times it happened to me, and the 2 times, I got seriously scared by verbal threats of getting harmed. Happy new year, WORLD!
It is a FACT of my life, that nobody NEVER tried to know or have more than superficial curiosity, about MY MUSLIM experience, in Science – each time I tried to raise the issues I had with the unacceptable aspect of my own community (mind control, interdiction of critic, PLUS fear of excommunication based on shame put on you AND on family – if you intent to be dissident) it is like it has always been a taboo subject !!!!!….
TRUST? WHO?
WE ARE ALL GUILTY!
As exemplified by the creation of a (outrageously contradictory) Islamic Human rights Declaration (1990!!! – coinciding the 1st Gulf War) to compete the Universal Declaration (1948), Religion and Democracy are the brother & sisters reflecting a fake Ideological fight: that's a deb-hate between defining "Human rights" and "Human dignity", which confuses everybody in his beliefs – knowing that even within one Faith (but especially Islam) you have still face the anachronistic history of deadly tensions between different branches, a terrain for any power to come and divide to reign!!! (and the USA, since the 2nd world war, is leading to drive the Western world into ignorance, here, for its own interests!) All that…. Just to mask a very simple imperialistic problem related to Oil quest interests in which USA-Saudis almost incestuous relation (the richer petrol King of the World!) have RUINED all possibility of stability in other neighbouring countries arbitrarily parted without any Cultural knowledge by French and English after the 1st world War! almost deliberately, until the land will be dried out from the Black Gold!!!!…
Worldwide, HAND in HAND democracy and religion are AS responsible for giving to Power (military/industrial) reasons to Brainwashed Crowds for producing and using weapons and oppressing the weaker (Oh! Palestinians, let me I cry for you!…): yes indeed, shit happens, most of it is unseen, or minimized!… But when "freedom of speech" is endangered, here! We all raise the flags!!!!… And I (Chomsky) ask: which Flag? "Je suis Charlie"?
In a Globalised World, War and Terrorism have the Same meaning (they Echo - each other)
Being a French Immigrant but also a dreamer of being, one Day, a Citizen of a World without Nations… I call this a Civil War AND we don't want this...! Check back an Anarchist American Classic, REVISITED BY ME! "My hands are tied…"
Fortunately, (i have a good French expression for you)
"L'habit ne fais pas le moine!!!"
"the clothing doesn't make the monk"!
and a Possible route, for a solution...
