The auditors have been entitled to a preemptive lynching without explanation or put in context. For many Quebecers, the extreme right refers to neo-Nazism and fascime. Lépine then tells us that Wilders is one of the most popular politicians in the Netherlands, a country hitherto known for its liberal values left close to those of Quebec. It would have liked to know how a people can suddenly hear an equally dramatic shift towards the extreme right. What happened? Not a word! Nothing. The journalist Lépine, its high moral acknowledge, judge and condemn and asks us to believe on parole.

However, after running Fitna a court in The Hague has dismissed the Federation of Islamic Netherlands requesting an injunction banning the film. The Tribunal held that the right to freedom of expression allowed Wilders to publicly criticize radical Islam and passages of the Koran, and that although it is provocative, the message Wilders is not a call to hatred or violence against Muslims.

The spirit of Munich refers to the cowardice before Hitler. The Europeans have refused to fight Nazism while he was still time. We know the result.

Several of us share the concern of objective information released from the straitjacket of the single thought. We seek to understand and we are surprised at just under this chronic lack of depth and probity in the analysis of current events, such as this in the media.

At Radio Canada or in newspapers widely circulated only conformity with generally accepted opinion is tolerated. There is a reason beyond the so-called progressive ideas and anti-that everyone is supposed to feel and convey, we discover a state of mind similar to that which prevailed in the 30 years before the Anschluss and Munich Agreement: The difficulty in admitting the existence of danger.

It must be said that the danger is practical only when it was something very valuable to defend. The Western elites are not aware they have something worthwhile to be protected. For many intellectuals and those who go for such contempt and denigration of our civilization is a mark of intelligence, they boast of being "iconoclasts" as though Western civilization and its values were icons and not the same land where they are rooted! The relativism is really a negation of its own values, it invariably akin to nihilism.

When one wants to deny the validity of a message on throwing stones at the messenger in dealing with racist and Islamophobic, and woe to anyone who dares to draw conclusions practices into line with the seriousness of the message. Ask the danger of Islamism in Leftists and pacifists, they will tell you that the danger comes not from Islam but those sounding the alarm about it, just as pacifists of 1938 for which the danger did not come Hitler, but Churchill!

But the "crime" of those who, like Geert Wilders, lift the veil on the violence of Islam, has an aggravating circumstance, it undermines the naively optimistic ambient and blindness voluntary. To demonstrate that Islam is inherently violent is contrary to the vulgate pacifist. The facts are not enough to absolve those who relate objectively. Describe the reality is in itself a crime, expected that informing people is warn them of danger; strange as it may seem this is the awareness of the threat which is denounced as responsible for the conflict, not threat itself.

The Western newspapers have hung the label "extreme right" on Geert Wilders, while the latter defends liberal values threatened by Islam: freedom of expression, gender equality, democracy, secularism, non-violence, gay rights etc. . Is this ignorance or misinformation? For some it is the pathological lack of curiosity, they repeat a good parrots what other newspapers have written. For others it is simply the well will be adopted to discredit a politician who showed a rare courage in denouncing extremism and violence. The media are seeking to destroy a person who risks his life to defend the kind of society without which these same media could not survive!

To reduce someone to silence or discredit it suffices to accuse, without the slightest evidence of racism or Islamophobia. He hangs a "yellow star" to better insulate the rest of the citizens and to muzzle anyone who might be tempted to approve it aloud. The process is very convenient, the accusers are not required to provide evidence and their victims are automatically stripped of their rights. In the case of Mark Steyn and magazine Maclean the presumption of innocence, the right to be heard, the right to make full answer and defence have been trampled upon by the very people (the Committee for Human Rights) who were supposed to promote them.

We are witnessing here in a strange alliance, that of the far-right Islamist and somehow left that has lost its bearings. The hatred of the West gives his hand to the self-hatred: tactical alliance with Islamic alliance but suicidal for the left. When our worst enemy becomes our main ally to submit our partner there is a problem.

And we do will come out not so collectively we refuse to admit that there is problem. To cure it is necessary above all else s'avouer ill and put away the habits and behaviours that exacerbate the disease. The Quebec society must take note of the dangers that Islam poses to all citizens. This ideology of extreme right violently opposed to democracy, freedoms and human rights, it attacks the rule of law that seeks to distort and to submit. For islamolucides the challenge is enormous, objectively inform people using its best, their intelligence their judgement and their sense of values.

At least 65 people were wounded in shooting early this morning in Kalma Camp in Darfur, Sudan. They were admitted to a clinic run by Médecins Sans Frontières. Kalma Camp is home to more than 90,000 people, and is one of the largest camps for displaced people in Darfur.

MSF is currently evacuating 47 patients from the clinic to a hospital in Nyala, about 17 km away. More than half of the patients admitted to the clinic are women and children.

Today’s shooting follows weeks of increasing tension in and around Kalma Camp. In recent weeks, around 6,000 families have been displaced by flooding. There has also been a shortage of clean drinking water due to a lack of fuel to run the pumps.

MSF has worked in Kalma Camp since May 2004. Staff run an outpatient department and a women's health centre. A mental health program addresses the profound psychosocial stress and trauma experienced by the population. The MSF team also responds to the emergency needs of new arrivals as needed.

Canada's reputation as a champion of democracy and human rights is shamefully surfaite.

To our many readers of the Maghreb countries who hope to forward a visa to immigrate to Quebec, know what awaits you. The raw truth is revealed without complacency by journalist Mario Roy of the newspaper La Presse, a daily newspaper in Quebec seriously big draw. Mario Roy wrote today that Canada is not worthy to receive the Olympic Games (editor's note: even less immigrants). He recalled that Canada has been repeatedly condemned by the international community. In particular, Canada has been:

"... repeatedly denounced by various agencies UN and human rightist his abuses against indigenous people, or the homeless, or cultural minorities."

"Exaction" means abuse, violence, looting committed against the people, abuse of power.

The accurate portrait of Canada is based on reports from UN agencies, a reliable and credible source. The authors of these reports are also informed by Canadian NGOs very close to reality on the ground.

Also, Canadians, especially Quebecers, are also known for its endemic racism, Islamophobia rampant, the systematic practice of racial profiling by the authorities, and the brutality of its unnamed police officers who tend to kill members of minorities, without moods and with impunity.

To those who are thinking of immigrating to Quebec, I, Francis Chartrand, I give you a proud service in preventing you from ignoble fate that awaits you here. We strongly recommend that you consider another destination for your projects migration. In essence, the country where you live now is probably much more civilized and fair. Your fate will be nothing improved immigrant in Quebec. Quite the contrary! Your life will be a continued escalation of "abuses" of injustice and persecution.

Your compatriots from Maghreb now settled in Quebec complain right, and in all forums imaginable, atrocities which they are victims as low minority in the hands of a tyrannical majority. They fear in particular that Quebec, a nation known for his Nazi sympathies and his heavy genocidal past, did come very soon Muslims interned in camps of death.

It is a humanism that we'll reveal the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth about Quebec and Canada. The sense of honor prevents perhaps your former compatriots say how much they are unhappy here. Many people complain that their immigration project is a failure, because of the malice of Quebecers, of course. They bitterly regret their decision.

You can not say that you did not know.

He was found last year in Somalia and brought back to Britain, where he is awaiting judgement from Wakefield Prison in West York.

According to the prison authorities, Mustaf refuses any contact with prisoners or staff Caucasian, especially when it comes to women, on the pretext that he wants to be respected religion and human rights.

For our collaborator Helios d'Alexandrie, a Quebecer adoption, it is good to live in Quebec, a haven of peace which must not be sacrificed on the altar of obscurantism. Helios draws a portrait of Quebecers people through its history of openness to immigrants. He criticises Muslims who show contempt and arrogance toward those who have welcomed and gave their all constitutional rights, including that of the publicly denigrate.

Through a comment on the statement of Touhami Rachid Raffa submitted to the Commission Bouchard-Taylor in September 2007, Helios gives us his vision of the Quebec nation and its people. It describes the broader issues that mask the debate on religious accommodations, a tree that hides the forest. He talks about the reaction of politicians, media, courts and the people. He denounced lobbyists Muslims in derogatory speech to the Quebec people whose attitude "slamolucide" is marked by the legitimate concern to preserve its heritage and its values of peace and social harmony that try to disrupt the Islamists present for obscurantist Quebec. In fact, everything was going well in Quebec before the Islamists arrived. - Marc Lebuis

Commentary on the memory Touhami Rachid Raffa, by Helios d'Alexandrie

In the introduction to his brief filed last September in the commission Bouchard-Taylor, Touhami Rachid Raffa would like to link the issue of reasonable accommodations and that, quite alien to debate, the care and the integration of immigrants. It does not spare his criticism to the government and, even if the latter had better fulfill its role in this area, there is no reason that this review should automatically be spread on subjects which are not related.

Criticizing the government, the task of full responsibility, is easy but it is not provided a credible diagnosis of the situation. The failure to integrate have multiple causes, whose main concern people themselves. To ignore this reality is likely to déresponsabiliser those individuals and groups to which they belong.

The critic's function is free to deflect responsibility and the consequences of failure on society or the government, which feed a sense of collective guilt with respect to those who, with a time assistance, must learn to take care and adapt to their new environment. More government intervention will bring no solution is the empowerment of individuals is the key.

But critics also free function of asserting a very good account, the compassion of the author and his interest in the cause of immigrants who are struggling to integrate. It serves as a kind of card.

For the severe judgement as it relates to the Government in its introduction, TR Raffa gives a polemical tone in his memory. While recognizing, he asserts that his presence is "a proof of his sincere desire to make a small contribution to the reflections of two eminent intellectuals of the most credible and most respected who has been assigned a daunting task that some describe 'Impossible'. Raffa handles the censer with such dexterity that handles the verb, we take it for a court poet who praised the sultan. On the premise that it gives nothing for nothing, the flattery seems to provide the author to provide evidence of its sincerity far more tangible than its mere presence before the committee.

Hierarchy of rights

His genuflexion accomplished, Raffa committed in the heart of the matter which has no relation to the introduction to his memory. He expressed his concern about the idea dMune possible hierarchy of rights. At first glance it offers no detail on this point, but it is probably referring to possible conflicts between freedom of religion and gender equality, the latter concept would receive an interpretative clause in the charter of rights giving an precedence over freedom of religion.

Remaining in the wave, it favors without saying so clearly the status quo, citing the delicacy of the topic which he said is "difficult reducible to any hint of standardization and management."

The last provincial election

Then suddenly and without warning, he embarks on a long detour that away for a time of the hierarchy of rights and who engages on the ground accommodate religious and political events that preceded the last provincial election. Suddenly the obséquiosité given way to controversy and Raffa is sparing no attacks against the government, media, political parties and to the Committee on Human Rights. The Quebec people or rather, according to Raffa, "a fringe of the so-called majority population of Quebec strain" is seriously bullied.

To give an idea of your argument, it is worth mentioning these short excerpts: "Spirits stung (it means warmed), controversial and popular media, shameless media hype, confusing and difficult debate started on the language, bad faith, confusion inextricable , Emotional context, old feeling of being besieged, confused framework, bias on the part of government irresponsibility of the state, nationalist passions, xenophobic connotations, guilty silence, tension identity, (who) has slipped without control, historic reflex fear, operated with duplicity and shameless, populist party of the right marginal, and repeated attacks indiscriminately, Quebec society that is hard to tame statements and the expression of identity, Islamophobia and anti-Semitic feelings, sacrosanct gender equality ".

In short if you follow the reasoning of Raffa, the fringe of the so-called majority population of Quebec strain "suffering from chronic insecurity and growing a siege mentality, saw its old fears exacerbated by the media concerning religious accommodations harmless. Old identity reflexes were then put in motion, leading to an uncontrolled skid where nationalist passions, racism, anti-Semitism and Islamophobia are expressed without restraint, and that the government failed, unable or unwilling contain or stop in time and that a populist political party and (horror!) right has managed, not without hypocrisy, to exploit to his advantage! The emotionalism and irrationality of Quebec did impact on Raffa? I could not stop myself from reading his memory to think about the parable of the straw and the beam.

The Quebec and their government are invited to recognize in this caricature, at least Quebeckers committee members must be convinced that it represents reality. To achieve its goal Raffa is absolutely necessary to put the people of Quebec off; this fringe of the so-called majority population of Quebec strain "which presents such an attitude and such behaviour does not merit being taken into account in decisions Equally important on accommodations and… the religious hierarchy of rights! QED.

Praise the status quo

The rest of his memory is a ode to the status quo. We must not affect the dynamics of accommodations and let the judges decide on a case by case indefinitely. The hierarchy of rights is a very bad idea because a law (the religious) can not be less than another (the right to equality of the sexes).

Raffa protests against what he calls the "sacrosanct gender equality." In believe it is a disruptive element, a dog that would launch in the bowling religious accommodations. Those or rather those who are advocating a kind of religious fundamentalists, they are gender equality an icon! The fact that this notion is of course also fundamental equality of citizens before the law does not appear to have retained his attention. Finally, it is not the Islamic veil in all its variations, the imposition of the veil for girls non-pubères, premises for prayer, separate pools, cafeterias halal, the requirements of all kinds in the field of medical care And in child care that deserve to be described as sacrosanct, but the notion of gender equality!

For the commissioners whose mandate is to collect the views of Quebec, Raffa went to say not to listen to Quebec! This is probably at this level that is the unease felt he says facing the mandate of the commission. In other words, it does not recognize the validity of the commission and still less any conclusion which would be based on the opinions expressed with the exception of those who agree with his.

Gérard Bouchard who is a historian and belongs to the fringe of the so-called majority population of Quebec strain "is left to count. It is useful, given the tone and content of memory, put things in terms of history, if only to restore the facts and make the people of Quebec what it deserves.

Algerian-Quebecers and Canadians

But before discussing the topic I would like to emphasize that TR Raffa, in his memory, identified as Algerian-Quebec and Canada. His Algerian identity and its ties with Algeria are present as well must be present to his memory the tragic events in Algeria has experienced over the past twenty years. The killings and abuses of all kinds had both political causes and religious causes. In turn, the Islamists and state security murdered without mercy on poor villagers and urban disarmed. The results of the slaughter: beyond a hundred thousand killed. Such an "Algerian" (Islamist) "resolve problems" is perhaps one reason why he left Algeria and immigrated to Quebec, it is he remembered when he wrote his memory? One thing is certain, many Quebec confronted with requests for religious accommodations remember the causes of these massacres and all the massacres, which until this day, are perpetrated in the name of Islam.

Quebecers: a democratic and peaceful people

If we had only one adjective to describe the people of Quebec, it would choose peaceful. Its history over the past four centuries is disappointing for those who bear an interest in armed conflicts. From the battle of the Plains of Abraham in 1759, the crisis of October 1970 through revolt patriots in 1830, Quebec has seen very few conflicts. Those of its young people who died in combat fell on the battlefields of Europe during the two major global conflicts. We owe them our freedom to party.

The Quebec have so abhor the violence that any organization or political party who take leaves can be found quickly without support and completely rejected by the population, is the sort experienced by the FLQ after the assassination of Pierre Laporte in 1970. Two referendums on the national question have been held, and although Quebeckers were politically divided over their future, no violence is coming undermine the popular consultation process. That one of 1995 was decided by a very narrow margin, yet the disappointment of the losers has caused or riot or demonstration.

The democratic traditions of Quebec are well entrenched, they go back to the eighteenth century. The country has known no coup d'etat or dictatorship. During the last century it has hosted a large number of immigrants many of whom came from the Middle East. These people are well integrated into the country and the population even if initially they did not speak french. The itinerant trader Syrian or Lebanese, from village to village offering household fabrics and things were very much alive in the memories of grandmothers Quebec, there is barely thirty years, yet spoke with affection and nostalgia.

Arab Presence in Canada

In his book very well documented: "The Arab presence in Canada," published in 1981, Baha Abu Laban, doctor of philosophy and sociology professor at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, relate to page 107, and I quote "At the beginning, the Arab hawkers were mainly attracted by Quebec because, according to our respondents older, unlike the English Canadians, Canadians french were nice and friendly, they showed less arrogance. One of our respondents spoke for many when he told his fellow as follows its debut in the hawking at the beginning of the century: I can not express the gratitude and friendship for Canadians french. I remember many instances where I could not go home at night, either because of long distances or a snowstorm. At that time, roads were not plowed. I knock at the first door that I met and asked hospitality. Je ne parlais ni l’anglais ni le français. I spoke only English or french. At any time, they were pleased to help me." And the author adds: "This feeling of sympathy for the Canadian french, and the fact that Montreal is a port city and a center of commerce may explain the constant increase in size and importance of the colony in Arabic Quebec. "

In addition to Gagnon, Rivard, Thériault and Tremblay, small towns in Quebec from 1882 hosting of Aboud, Assal, Bounadere, and Khalil. Among these last several made fortunes thanks to their work and their business sense without causing among Quebeckers no negative sentiment. The secret of this friendliness is very little, people lived together, that's all! But there is another point and it should not be neglected. The Quebec are curious when they meet someone who comes by the way, that is why they can not help but ask him what country he comes from, but they never inquired of his religion.

Having themselves suffered colonization and have colonized person, Quebeckers do not morbid sense of guilt towards the Third World countries. They have shown solidarity with the peoples who have obtained their independence while noting in many instances, the emergence after the decolonization of leftist dictatorships whose most notable achievement was to loot, and impoverish the délabrer countries on which they ruled. "The proverbial ignorance" of Quebec on international issues is a myth which has a tough life. From the fifties emissions such as "Focus" and "Format sixty" got ratings listening very high. The communicators the most knowledgeable and brightest such as René Lévesque, Andre Payette and the inspired Pierre Nadeau.

Distrust face of Islam

It is because they are familiar with the situation in Islamic countries that Quebeckers are rightly very cautious in everything related to Islam. Their flair rarely the wrong, even when it comes to missed their elites. To observe and draw conclusions from what we see is easy for whom a good eye and did not suffer prejudice or mental block. This is what ordinary Quebeckers whose collective behaviour so reflects their desire for change but continuity, especially smooth and without violence.

The thrust of Islamic world after the first oil shock was seen in Quebec since the advent of Khomeini in Iran. The assassination of Sadat by Islamists followed shortly unrest in Iran. Since then, it does not happen a week without the Islamic fanaticism does about him. From the Salman Rushdie affair in the assassination of Theo Van Gogh, taking power of the Taliban attacks of September 11, news had ceased to show the bloody events which radical Islam has been blamed. Alongside these events, the ordinary citizen observed a phenomenon no less disturbing that a theater for Islamic countries. The thrust of Islamism in countries like Nigeria, Algeria, Egypt, Sudan, Palestine, Lebanon, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, the Philippines and Thailand is invariably associated with intolerance and violence against non-Muslims. The repression and violence also reached the progressive or modernist Muslims, particularly artists, thinkers and journalists (this phenomenon has been particularly active in Algeria and Egypt). The correlation between the strict observance of Islam and intolerance against another is very high wherever Islam has succeeded in winning a significant number of followers.

Status of Women

But that's not all, Quebeckers and more the Quebec have found that this surge of Islamism is a worrying deterioration of the status of women. The claim of the veil by some Muslim women (activists) is an attempt sewn white wire to divert attention from the distressing situation affecting women in Islamic countries. The UN report on social development in countries of the Middle East could not be more eloquent. Where women are oppressed, relegated to household chores, forced to hide, few in public spaces, social development is at its lowest. This phenomenon associated with the absence of democracy is responsible for this stagnation and even regression of the Arab and Muslim countries.

The example of European countries

Last but not least, the example of European countries made with an immigration uncontrolled and poorly integrated from Islamic countries is enough to incite caution anyone with judgement. The desire not to repeat the example of the United Kingdom, Belgium and Holland, besides that of France, is more legitimate and should be credited to Quebec.

That is why attempts by Islamists to reproduce earthen Quebec and Canada the same scenario they managed to impose on Muslim countries and Europe, faced as much resistance on the part of Quebec. This resistance is not only legitimate, it is also beneficial.

That is why everything must be done to prevent the Islamists to impose their program. It is our future as the peaceful nature of our society. The debate on religious accommodations or on the hierarchy of rights serves as a screen to more fundamental issues, it is sort of the tree that hides the forest. Islamism seeks to impose itself on spare parts that would later be collected to build a wall separating Muslims from non-Muslims. It is useless to discuss how best to respond to requests for accommodations. Whatever the honourable compromise that the host society will strive to find, it will never be regarded as definitive, the Islamists will use as a springboard, or at best a new starting point.

Progress of radical Islam in Quebec

The inclusive and pluralistic society that Quebeckers have established for decades is threatened by the rise of Islamism in Quebec. The Quebec strain is not the only ones to say, the vast majority of immigrants, including Muslims say the same thing. Those who come from the Middle East and who fled oppression Islamist are well placed to detect signs which do not hide: the veil in all its variations, the imposition of the veil for girls non-pubères, premises for prayer , Separate pools, cafeterias halal, the requirements of all kinds in the field of medical care and child care, sermons in mosques hate, hate literature imported Arabia, honour killings, assassinations because apostasy and proved the presence of jihadists are all indicators of the progress of radical Islam.

In this context, it is not surprising that provincial elections in spring 2007 have caused "surprises". Several factors have contributed to the results, including dissatisfaction with the outgoing government and doubts about the ability of the head of the official opposition to fulfil the mandate of prime minister.

Hérouxville and elections

However, the Hérouxville factor has played a significant role. Against a small municipality that had the courage to define what its inhabitants do not want to, the reaction of media and elites has proved to be derogatory. There have been few voices were raised to recall that the gesture of hérouxvillois reported a real concern, but they were drowned in the flood of accusations of racism. Politicians, with the exception of outgoing prime minister who has been condescending, preferred discretion. The leader of the ADQ had merely repeating what some columnists have said while stressing the fact that immigrants have a duty to integrate respecting the culture of the host society. In this position he was dealing with Jean-Marie Lepen of Quebec!

The Hérouxville event has proved important in the eyes of Quebec because he uncovered the inability of the major parties and elites to acknowledge the threat that radical Islam poses to society. Rarely has the divide between the people and those who claim to represent him has been so blatant. This factor largely explains the postponement of hundreds of thousands of votes in favour of the ADQ. The people of Quebec has indicated in the polls for its refusal of political correctness when it prevents the government to cope with problems.

The Quebeckers are known for their collective wisdom when it comes time to launch a powerful message, they have done democratically and peacefully as they have the habit of doing so. The government regularly lends an ear to the complacent pressure groups was called to order: it is the people which is the source of power and not the representatives more or less self-certain groups of citizens.

Legitimate concerns

The Quebeckers in the many briefs they submitted to the commission Bouchard-Taylor frankly explained their concerns regarding Islamism. They did not fail to emphasize the commissioners their fears that immigrants in Quebec to import the serious troubles that afflict their country of origin. Can we say that these legitimate concerns were taken seriously? In fact, despite the unequivocal warning served by Quebeckers in the polls, the government finds it very difficult to take note of the situation. It continues to set its eyes on the tree (the religious accommodations) behind which hides the forest (radical Islam).

It is both surprising and gratifying to see how the people is more insightful than its elites. The think-on, even the judges of the Supreme Court do not come, in terms of common sense, the kingpin of the ordinary citizen. Seeking to settle on some requests for religious accommodations, our brave judges have chosen to rely solely on test of the sincerity of the applicant. That, they say, not to find themselves caught in the skein contradictory interpretations and not set itself up as religious courts because of their incompetence in the matter. This reasoning apparently flawless suffers from a defect of the most profound: the test of sincerity is entirely subjective and does not take into account the context of the applicant. In terms of religious belief, Buddhist and Islamic placed on the same footing, they are accepted as sincere, but the first for a spiritual leader the Dalai Lama and the second Osama bin Laden!

Given the close correlation between the strict observance and religious intolerance should be openly acknowledge this reality. The impasse mental and self-censorship are only push forward the confrontation of the problem while the amplifying. A very narrow legalistic attitude has so far prevailed. It is also defended by all those who have no interest in change, but it is contrary to the general interest. No one from the Islamists has interest in seeing the look Quebec in Lebanon or Bosnia. That is why the most basic wisdom requires that we take as soon as possible preventive measures and this is certainly not giving more and more religious accommodations that will succeed in avoiding disaster.

CONCLUSION

The brief filed by Touhami Rachid Raffa the commission Bouchard-Taylor is derogatory in respect of Quebec. Its author is showing arrogance and contempt for the society that has welcomed and gave it all constitutional rights including the bashing in a public forum. Do not dislike him, Quebeckers are a people and Quebec is a nation and not as he defined as "a fringe of the so-called majority population of Quebec strain."

The people of Quebec since 1882 hosts and integrates immigrants from the Middle East, they are Jews Christians and Muslims. Everything was going well until the arrival of Islamic fundamentalism. This religious ideology obscurantist and retrograde is a source of problems wherever it seeks to relocate and expand.

It is good to live in Quebec! Of all the countries that is probably the one who most deserves to be known as a haven of peace. These good ancestors Quebec (and j'inclue here Aboud, Assal, Bounadere, Khalil and all other originating in the Middle East and elsewhere) we have conveyed this deposit which is also a priceless treasure. Will we sacrifice on the altar of religious obscurantism?

According to Ayatollah Khomeini, are considered unclean "urine, excrement, semen, bones, blood, dogs, pigs, humans and non-Muslim women, wine, beer, sweat camel eating garbage, and so on. "Indeed, for Muslims, the infidels are animals. It will now add postcards to the list of what is impure, and perhaps even banish the word "dog" in the dictionary ...

A postcard with a nice puppy sitting in a hat police to give publicity to the new phone number of force Scottish aroused the indignation of Muslims.

The new telephone number of Tayside Police for non-emergency calls has sparked complaints from members of the Islamic community.

The choice of image on the maps of the Tayside police - a black dog sitting in the hat of a police officer - was raised with the Chief Constable John Vine.

The announcement has upset Muslims because dogs are considered ritually impure. It has sparked anger as some traders Dundee refused to display the ad.

The adviser to Dundee, Asif Mohammed said: "My concern is that this is not welcomed by all communities, with the dog on the cards".

"It was probably a waste of resources allocated to these communities."

"The police should have included. Since then, the police said it was an oversight on their part, and if they had known that the offenserait, they would not have done."

Councillor Asif, who is a member of the Tayside Joint Police Board, said that the force had a diversity consultant and is generally very aware of these issues.

He raised the issue with Mr Vine at a board meeting. The police chief said he was not aware of the concerns and that the force did not attempt to provoke or upset anyone but said he would look into the matter.

Councillor Asif said: "People who have stores will not display the postcard. But police said it was simply an oversight and they did not seek to offend."

The maps showing the Rebel police dog training have been distributed to communities in the entire region to announce the number of single point of contact for non-emergency calls to police.

"The media have focused on the death of Freddy Villanueva during a police operation. But who knows virtually nothing about this death, the case is under investigation. This does not need an investigation report to be immediately reviewed, these are riots. On this side, however, very little analysis, as if the fact that a band of thugs have fired on police, firefighters and ambulance was inconsequential. As if such a riot was not only in a pure logic of violence, but in a context of rationality "progressive", on one side opposing the "excluded" and another "executioners".

Carl Bergeron, 28, is a graduate in literature and political science. Essayist, he recently published The State of Quebec and the carnival of decadence. He is also director of blog intelligence consistent. We resume his ticket on August 12 on the recent riots in Montreal-Nord. For a complete dossier on these riots here.

The riots of Montreal-Nord: some observations

Let's first events of Montreal-Nord, as the focal point of media analyses did not focus on the riots as such, which were the real event to dig and cover, but on the death of young Freddy Villanueva in a park during a police operation. This is not anecdotal, when one considers that no one knows virtually nothing about the death of Villanueva, a case under investigation by the Surete du Quebec. The versions heard on both sides are so contradictory that only the investigation will take stock of what has actually happened. The normal procedures will make its way before we know more. The best that can be done in the circumstances is to wait until all the facts in hand before judging.

However, this did not need an investigation report to be immediately reviewed, these are riots. On this side, however, very little analysis, as if the fact that a band of thugs have fired on police, firefighters and ambulance was perfectly harmless, as if Molotov cocktails (a weapon worthy of a civil war) had not been used against the police, and as if, finally, does such a riot was not in a logic of pure violence, but in a context of rationality "progressive", a dissident d On the one hand the "excluded" and another "executioners". La Presse headline indeed one of his articles "A community angry", which was quite the social pattern in which we wished to present events.

The riots of Montreal-Nord are a case too serious to be left in the hands of community workers, nurses social, editorialists mollassons, therapists district, all those unable to help, once again, see only the "social" where there are only political. The riots of Montreal-Nord must call the contrary in the first place Public Safety, and ultimately the army. What we witnessed was a show of force on the part of thugs who had explicitly land claims. "This is OUR neighborhood! We will protect you! "Shouted one of these bandits citizens gathered on the sidewalk, while his compatriots, further, lit fire over fire, threatening homes and shops nearby. These thugs no longer recognize the authority of the City of Montreal on the territory of Montreal-Nord. They therefore decided to wage war to the police, like a street gang dispute in which a gang rival the monopoly of a territory.

This war is not new, it has been underway for many years behind the scenes lobbying social. It began with the establishment of all-round victimaires policies, which have undermined the authority of the police and have too feminized, transforming this institution dedicated to security and order in hospital and humanitarian centre ' psychological assistance. How many efforts, since 15 years, to "bring" youth, playing basketball, inflating ballounes in McDonalds, give nananes, walking a bicycle, making the "awareness" open "posts Community "?

The victimary lobbies - which are rare perversity - have wanted the police lowered the level of youth until his authority is confused with them. They succeeded. The police are now "equality" with young people, especially those in sensitive areas such as Montreal-Nord. It is in this light that one must understand the behavior of thugs who no longer hesitate to openly defy the police, refusing to comply when they are apprehended. The police are our "boyfriend"? Then it jumped above, the stabs, it strangles, on the beat, insult, the misunderstanding as if it was our "boyfriend". The victims among street gangs are not they all killed by former "buddies"? The last thing to do with such individuals, it should be their "boyfriend". For these young people do one thing: force. That is precisely what is lacking in SPVM (editor's note: Police Service of the City of Montreal) and society in general, who has completely lost the sense of the concept of authority, without which no society is viable and no common world possible.

What we saw in Montreal-Nord is doomed to repeat itself in a district to another, as the State authority, through a moribund police department and a justice system complacent, will continue to fragment. Gradually, the law of the jungle will supersede the law of society, and the Mafia and other gangsters become, as once the time of barbarism, tribal chiefs in charge of "security" of a parcel of territory. The regular readers of The IC know, I myself left the neighborhood where I lived for many years, Cote-des-Neiges, because life had become unsustainable, excessive current violence and gangs street too present. I would be little surprise that similar riots broke out in Cote-des-Neiges in the next five or seven years, both the ghettoization of this area is obvious.

The entire sectors of the city, with the assistance of Quebec institutions that promote this type of cultural differentialism are doing secession symbolically with national policy space. By dint of repeating the immigrants they are victims, that they are inherently superior by their foreign character, mobile, nomadic coolissime; force to tell them that our history is filled with horrors, and that the lesser of their folk custom is admirable; strength of their hammering that the West is despicable, it is possible to do anything in Quebec, you can always accommodate, forcing to drive in hatred Naturally, well, you see, they eventually we believe: we're crap and they need to eliminate us.

The cult of Immigrant hysterical, identity métèque, Metis, bastard, uprooted, finally activate a mechanism strong resentment among some of the immigrant population, which no longer why it should undergo to institutions and codes which, according to the rhetoric of repentance into force, it would in any way inferior. The feeling of belonging that is being developed among immigrants is the ethnic communalism, which not only arises out of the national reference, but arose against. It turns a passive hostility to an active insurgency, a decline community an offensive identity. Note that these conditions of civil war have been allowed by our authorities, and nobody else. The cowardice, the well-pensance progressive language of wood and political correctness of the media and political class did the rest. Today, now that war broke out and it went from champ symbolic - where she was taking place for several years - in fact, the "pacifist" tell us that this is not a war but an evil to live; should not be replicated by law enforcement, but by "prevention". They say the same thing riots of Cote-des-Neiges in five years, and so on until the wave of violence to achieve personally in the beautiful areas of Outremont and Saint-Lambert: while there are only they wake up and it will be too late.

I have read, under the pen of several columnists that the "violence on both sides" was "not acceptable" and unprecedented "punishment was resolved anything." What does this mean? How about "violence on both sides" when it comes to government faces a band of thugs? The own State authority is concentrated in its hands the monopoly of violence on its territory: it is the fundamental definition of political sovereignty. No one but the state is supposed to use violence, and yet this same monopoly that the thugs were challenged, enjoying the tacit support of the media class, for whom the "victims" and "excluded" will always right against "the established order."

In a civilized society, violence is legitimate, and it is not "both sides": it lies on one side, the law and order, which has the duty of Use for the common good. It was felt, however, a soft condemnation of the riots, a recognition of the legitimacy of violence among thugs, as if they had been right to loot everything in their path after the death of the young Villanueva, a death that I repeat, there are still nothing.

For those who evoke the fictitious "police brutality" is pleasant to identify deaths that occurred during police operations SPVM over the years, as was the case in La Presse, they do deserve one thing: that the enclave city of Montreal and that we suspend the practice of law in the territory for an indefinite period. No police, no patrol, no guns, no "police brutality", "racial profiling" and other ignominies occidentalo-centrists. Nothing. That dialogue and openness between "citizens of diverse origins." The bikeways, picnics, workshops MNI (editor's note: Institut du nouveau monde).

As for us, fucking rednecks "ethnic" as we are, it will install on the other side of the river, with our binoculars and our sales rifles. Cell phone and walki-talkie in hand, we will then have ample time to discuss different issues with the techno-progressive remained on the ground: "openness to the world", "inclusion", "intercultural mediation", "No - Violence ", etc.. It is possible that the conversation is frequently interrupted because of fires and Molotov cocktails, which can damage the telecommunications infrastructure, but it is a detail. Nothing could prevent the dialogue. The dialogue is eternal and invincible…

The power of the media now dominates political power, to such an extent that it can be said of the media, with Elizabeth Levy and Philippe Cohen, they are able "to shape reality." This would explain the bias of the media for the rioters and their false neutrality compassionate for police. When the media bring to the fore the emotional abuse of a parent bereaved mother, who cries out vengeance on the front page of all newspapers, and they collect 24 hours later the fruits of their staging with riots télégéniques more than ever, they do more than "cover the event": they create it.

In their essay on journalism, Our business has gone wrong (Thousand and One Nights, 2008), Levy and Cohen describe journalism as a "belief", which is still under the auspices of progressivism: "From the standpoint of journalism , They write, the past is necessarily wrong, and the future necessarily desirable, even that power is suspect and challenge its legitimacy. "With this in mind that journalism has become unfit to embody the critical judgement to him is historically allowed. The SPVM necessarily messed up, it is obvious doubt, even if nothing is known of the death of Villanueva, it must be assumed that the authorities have acted badly and that the riots are based largely on a sociological causality, data décryptables in terms of social progressivism. By contrast, it never does come to mind that this is the systematic power among the rioters, who could be the whole problem in this case. For the present reality in this light, for the media, would eventually undermine the "progressive consensus" which they are rightly their bread and milk.

The rioters are too good Show to be like that, overnight, disqualified as a key protagonists of the media spotlight. They are matamores, criminals, bandits, but never mind: we will give them a psychological depth that they have not, we will scrutinize their past, find family photos; short, we will tell a story . The victimary lobbies will remake a health, media-progressive consensus will appeal to more money for community organizations, schools and other therapies fariboles; "ethnic Quebecers" will once again be rehabilitated; ethnic activists will denounce the "racism" the police are still trying to cover the same friendliness and, who knows, a clown nose to patrol; demagogues will continue to fuel the powder keg, and then it will be a rendezvous in Côte-des-Neiges, within five years, for a new episode of the show.

Born in Transylvania in 1979, Radu Stoenescu lived in France for two decades. A graduate in philosophy from the Sorbonne University, he is the author of Gandhi, the voluntary exile published in 2007.

He has published in the latest issue of the journal French riposte Lay an article which discusses classical rhetorical traps with which readers point BASCULE are now familiar. "Keywords" which he speaks are "contextualization", "essentialism", "defamation" and "Islamophobia". Using arguments based on reason, Stoenescu thwarts each of these pitfalls of a strong and convincing.

We also join in the bottom of page one two-page leaflet giving arguments in a discussion with Muslims, and you can download. There is particular question outline tactics and the dialectic of Islam. The objective of the authors of the leaflet is to enable you to meet, after his reading, the following questions: Islam is the religion like any other? This tract is available on the internet in french and english.

We also recommend the ticket of 27 February 2008 from Swiss Alain Jean-Mairet. It provides a valuable General Council to criticism of Islam.

Dismantling four rhetorical traditional defenders of Islam, by Radu Stoenescu, Riposte Lay, March 26, 2008

"What is Islam?" Wondered how anxious a lot of our citizens. Let words on our fears we fear that the Muslim ideology is a doctrine fascisante, misogynist, anti-democratic, which aims to subvert republican laws in order to establish its own law, sharia, the whole population , As it does in some Muslim countries. But how do we know if we are right? Who to believe? Malek Chebel, Tariq Ramadan, Ben Laden, Abd al Malik, suburban youth who cry "Allah Akhbar", Robert Redeker, Ayaan Hirsi Ali?

Sources of Muslim ideology

The sources of Muslim ideology are fairly easy to identify: it is the Koran and the life of Muhammad. The life of Muhammad is the key interpretation of the Koran, and it is the perfect example of a Muslim, according to the Koran itself. Muhammad brings the Koran, which itself presents Muhammad as the ideal model of Muslim life. This means that one must study the Hadiths, ie collections more or less apocryphal "acts" of the prophet of Islam. These collections are enormous, and their respective validity is challenged by different currents of Islam.

In the public debate around Islam, whenever one speaks what is most problematic in the Koran and the life of Muhammad, fierce defenders of the Muslim ideology using a series of keywords , And in a specific order. When we cite facts honourable little of the life of Muhammad, such as the consumption of his marriage to a girl of nine years, or the massacre of the Jewish tribe of Banû Quraïdza, we are told that " contextualize "these facts and gestures.

When we cite verses can not be more explicit about the violent attitude to deal with non-Muslims, as the notorious "Verse of the Sword", which says "Kill the infidels wherever you find", c It is still summing interlocutors "contextualize" that attempts to justify the unjustifiable. Then, when you try to enunciate a clear judgement on the nature of Islam, such as the fact Ayaan Hirsi Ali, saying that Islam preaches violence or that Islam is incompatible with democracy, Semi-skilled denounce in their interlocutor "essentialisation" of Islam.

At the same time, they rush to relativize the incompatibility of Islam with democracy recalling the evils of Catholicism five centuries ago, as the Inquisition and the Crusades, or the most obscure verses of the Old Testament As if the Republic had something to do. If one goes even further, and if we advance that Islam and the example of Muhammad are immoral, those who otherwise have no pity nor for circumcised women in Africa, nor adulterers stoned Iran, nor for apostates executed in Afghanistan feel wounded in their sensitivity and cry to "insult" or the "defamation".

And finally, they will threaten a trial for "incitement to racial discrimination", while accusing you know nothing of Islam, "surf on fear" and be "Islamophobic." I will try to thwart all these rhetorical traps to provide intellectual weapons to those who want to express in public their concern over the development of Islam in France.

1. Contextualization

Start with the summons "contextualize". Those who denounce the fundamentalists as "false Muslims" because it lifted out verses from their context, not ever noticed that on the contrary, the fundamentalists recall ever a context to justify their actions. The fundamentalists spend their time to contextualize, ie to try to find and reproduce in their daily lives the same context as one in which Muhammad took this or that decision, then to reproduce the same decision.

The Muslim exegesis works by analogy with the paradigm of the life of Muhammad, "the beautiful model." This is evident in the statements of bin Laden, but also in religious opinion on matters as trivial as how to greet others, or dressing or bathing. For this context, there is a model in the life of Mohammed, you need to copy to be a good Muslim. The call for Jihad against the unbelievers is associated with a context: we have to define the mécréant, and the situation of legitimate self which the rejoinder violent.

This is not about the meaning of the verses in their context that different Muslim fundamentalists of those peaceful, but on the existence of this in this context. The question is not is it that a Muslim must seek reconciliation rather than war when it attacked, no, the question is: today's context is the same as in Medina 627? When the murderer of Theo Van Gogh decided to kill him, he has only a faithful reproduction of Muhammad, Muhammad ibn Maslama, made when the Jewish poet Ka'b Ibn Al-Ashraf was mocked Muslim women: he killed with his blessing. The obligation to contextualize the verses is perfectly followed by the fundamentalists!

Unfortunately for Islam, there is no moral laws to follow in a non-contextualized. Muhammad did not take the Ten Commandments of Moses. The context is precisely what prevents the emergence of a peaceful Islam, not the best way to guard against violence, because the calls for mercy and kindness are also contextualized that calls murder!

In Islam, peace must not be sought at all costs, in absolute, but only if there is a numerical inferiority. The mercy against non-Muslims should only be performed if the unbelievers are not hostile to Muslims. Christians and Jews must not be tolerated in Muslim societies that they submit to Muslim and accept the humiliating status of dhimmis. To put it in philosophical terms: the moral imperatives Muslims are not categorical, but hypothetical. So whenever you're objected that you exit a fact of life of Muhammad from its context, replicate that this episode is itself an enabling environment for teaching and decided that the Muslim believer is called to reproduce.

2. Essentialisation

Turning to the accusation "essentialize Islam." This is a ploy éristique very well explained by Arthur Schopenhauer in his little treatise art have always right. This is the trick 32: "We can quickly eliminate or at least make a statement suspicious of the opponent opposite to ours in putting in an execrable category, as long as related by similarity or even very vaguely. For example, "It is Manichaeism, it's arianisme, (…) is idealism, and so on." In doing so we assume two things: 1) that the statement in question is actually identical in this category, or at least contained in it, and we therefore écrions: "Oh! We are aware, "and 2) that this category is already totally refuted and can not contain a single word of truth."

When you are told "you essentialisez Islam," said qu'essayer you understand precisely what Islam and the judge is essentialism! But this is a lie. Because essentialism is a philosophical doctrine (disproved) that men have a fixed nature makes them always in the same way, in short, they have no free will. But Islam is not a man, but a doctrine. A ideology has a nature, it has no free will as a man.

You can not accuse someone of essentialism that seeks to define precisely the nature of Islam. This does not fall within the category of essentialism. Nobody is accused of essentialism in seeking the exact nature of Christianity, Kantianism, Judaism. Why would you if you try to define Islam? It is difficult to define its nature, but it is the task of thought and all university chairs history of religions. Islam is an object of study, albeit multifaceted, but still definable.

When we come anyway, after much effort, to accept that Islam is étudiable and it is not very nice, its defenders are quick to reduce its harm recalling the tasks of other religions or Other doctrines, including Christianity has generally their preference.

It recalls the Crusades and the Inquisition to relativize the wars waged by Muhammad, and hardness of the Shariah. This too is a ruse rhetoric, for two reasons. First, this does not diminish the harm of a doctrine if others have been equally criminal. Then we confuse historical facts of a certain group of Christians at a certain time with the fundamental teaching of Christianity. The actions of the Crusaders or Torquemada had no exemplary value, while the actions of Muhammad are absolutely paradigmatic. The teaching of the Gospels is not corrupted by the criminal acts of some Christians, while the actions of Muhammad are warriors from the base of Muslim teaching.

3. Defamation

When you arrive at this point in the debate, often rational discussion ceases and defenders of Islam retreat in a pose injured, and began to scream blasphemy, insult and defamation. They treat these words of provocation to racial hatred and accuse their opponents of Islamophobia, praying very strongly that one day a law was passed in France to prohibit criticism of the "beautiful model" Muhammad. Here several legal clarification is needed: "Any allegation or imputation of an act which infringes the honour or reputation of the person or body to which the act is charged is a defamation.

The publication directly or through reproduction of the allegation or imputation that is punishable, even if it is made in the form doubts or if it is a person or body not specifically named, but whose identification is made possible by the words speeches, shouts, threats, written or printed placards or posters in question.. " Wikipedia says: "The author of defamation may exempt itself from its responsibility by providing proof of alleged or charged by demonstrating its good faith.

In a judgement delivered on June 6, 2007, the Cour d'appel de Paris recalls the conditions inherent in each of these possibilities exemption. As "proof of the truth of defamatory facts must be perfect, complete and the corresponding charges in both their materiality and in scope and in their defamatory meaning." As a good faith, "four elements must be met for that [his] benefit (...) can be recognized warned the legitimacy of purpose, lack of personal animosity, prudence and the extent to l 'Expression, and the quality of the investigation. "

In other words, tell the life of Muhammad is not a defamation of Muslims who claim because the facts are defamatory attested by Muslim sources themselves, including by Ibn Hisham, who wrote the biography's oldest Prophet of Islam and which, according to his translator Wahib Atallah, is the most recognized in the Muslim world, "official biography" in some way. So for defamation. The tactical error by Robert Redeker was not cite sources for Muslim support his remarks.

Apart from the alleged defamation, sensitive souls outrées by denouncing the example of Muhammad, accusing critics of Islam to make "incitement to racial discrimination." But the law on this point is very clear: "The images forced the words unpleasant and criticisms are not sufficient alone to be a provocation, with no provocation if formulas too general, vague or ambiguous ( Examples: accuse immigrants of abusing sick leave, controversy among politicians, ...) if those words do not lead to hatred or violence. "In this case, this French law is used exactly by those who might fall under his coup: if political Islam seeks the establishment of a discriminatory social system, in which non-Muslims would have a lower status (dhimmi), then political Islam is "a provocation to racial discrimination because of the MEMBERSHIP NOT a religion. " Political Islam, intimidating, threatening, harassing critics of Islam does exactly what he accuses others to do against him.

One could go further and ponder the implications of the last sentence of each of the five Muslim prayers must impose a daily basis: "there is no other god but Allah, we are sincerely faithful Him in His adoration and our religion DESPITE THE HATRED OF MECREANTS." What are the implications due to be repeated each day that all non-Muslim hate you? Is not this a terrible prejudice against all non-Muslims? How can we live together when the obligatory prayer of every Muslim ends on the free assertion that the hate unbelievers, especially since the Muslim must respond to aggression in a violent manner?

Someone who solemnly repeat five times a day that all others are hostile does not finish it by seeing nothing but enemies around him, then feel entitled to retaliate violently? The reflex Muslim shouting to injustice and oppression when it makes the slightest criticism against Islam, would it not purely Pavlovian induced by this ressassement daily? It seems to me that it might even be regarded as a self-fulfilling prophecy: strength to say that you hate the other a priori, we end up watching them with mistrust, fear and hatred, which will not fail to provoke return to a hostile reaction on the part of these unbelievers, thus confirming the initial statement. The mécréant eventually give evidence of its "Islamophobia" unfairly assumed in the first place. "You do not seek m'aurais if you do not find me."

4. Islamophobia

I come in the last term used in the debate with Muslims, the term Islamophobia. We already know that this is a term coined by Khomeini to stigmatize all criticism of Islam and equate to racism. Nevermind that Islam is not a race, he is not a group of people, but a doctrine, and as such criticism as any other. What I would like to stress is that when someone accuses of being Islamophobic, it actually tries to cripple mentally.

When we make criticisms against Islam it is usually driven by fear before the conduct of Muslims and to the policy of Muslim countries. It was a fear of Islam. When we reply "you have a phobia of Islam", it tells us two things: 1) your fears are not legitimate, there is an irrational fear, a phobia, and 2) you n 'Have no right to be afraid. But it was always reason to feel something, our feelings are not guilty or reprehensible.

It is the expression of these sentiments which may be questionable. Then, these fears are legitimate, because based on verifiable facts, whether by reading the biography of Muhammad, or by observing the history of Islamic civilization and the fate of non-Muslims.

In conclusion, prohibiting non-Muslims to be afraid of Islam, his minions actually forbid them to resist. For the courage for a condition of existence… fear! Courage is not the opposite of fear, but it is "the fear of something attached to the hope of avoiding the damage caused by this object resisting." Those who are not afraid, can be no courage. I'm afraid of Islam, but I hope to avoid the damage it could cause the Republic, resisting. Surfons on our fear, with the board of our hope!
