The flat-to-ventrisme of Radio-Canada before the Islamist propaganda, by Anne Humphreys
Your taxes at work: state television in the service of propaganda of political Islam, allegedly in a program devoted to ethics, spirituality and religious practice ... Radio-Canada made a point of honor, in its educational mission, to "correct" the defense of freedom and criticism of Islamofascism, inviting an apologist for political Islam. It is kif kif.
On November 16, Radio-Canada presented a report entitled: Islam as seen by the father and Boulad Lamine Four. Father Boulad is a Christian living in Egypt. Lamine Foura is an engineer of Algerian origin living in Quebec. Here's the synopsis of the report posted on the website of the show:
Jesuit, Father Henri Boulad is a Christian from Egypt who lives in the heart of Islam ever since. He believes that religious freedom does not exist in Muslim societies. Faced with the rise of fanaticism, Boulad father seeks reform, reform through the emergence of a moderate Islam, otherwise we are heading towards a conflagration. And this reform is through dialogue between Muslim liberals and radicals, he argues.
In that speech without concessions Father Boulad, Lamine Foura replica that beyond a rise of fanatic fundamentalism and lack of freedom in Arab and Muslim countries, the sources of tension within Islam are many . Although this Muslim by concedes that Islam needs a new breath, he contends that the speech of Father Boulad confusing Islam and Islamism, a discourse that ultimately plays into the hands of extremists.
The interview with Father Henri Boulad can be viewed by clicking here. The interview with Lamine Four is accessible by clicking here.

The flat-to-ventrisme Radio-Canada before the Islamist propaganda Lamine Four, by Jugurten
In issuing of Second Regard at Radio Canada, Alain Crevier wanted to correct what wines Father Henri Boulad by someone who know better Islam. But before doing this talk connoisseur, our journalist reassured viewers Quebeckers: the person in question is wrapped qualifications and activities much more important and more numerous than those which engages the average Quebecker. Lamine Foura should be listened to with devotion.
Alain Crevier this Lamine Four as a scientific rational mind, however religious practice. But that may say a staunch practitioner of his religion! And what can we say of rational and scientific about dogma. Second Regard called a judge and party to enlighten us on what the Father Boulad. If the goal of Alain Crevier was to give a right of reply to Islam, he gave the floor to an imam.
Why then Lamine Four? Alain Crevier think his illustrious analyst Muslim will be backed by his university degrees and functions snoring. The Quebeckers, tired of their own religious for ages, will be more likely to believe a Muslim citizen "integrated", rational, committed to his community and graduated a single priest who drool.
Radio Canada believes that Quebeckers are bumpkins who believe that more is high on the social ladder, the more one has access to infuse science, it is more intelligent, it is therefore more credible. Hence the almost vulgar exhibitionism Lamine Foura, certainly encouraged by Radio Canada.
Lamine Foura is presented as "of Algerian origin." In fact, it is not "home alone" but Algerian full, leaving no place in Canada. It is Algerian heart, mentality, culture, religion, spirit and paper. He is even a communitarian asset which is in Algeria rebuild against all odds in Quebec. He built his social life around the Arab-Islamic Maghreb nostalgic way Andalusian and likes to invite the Other, Occidental, to take a look brief and superficial in its exotic world communitarian and closed.
I know of Canadian French origin (the so-called pure laine Quebecois), of English, Irish, Greek, Italian or Scottish. Radio Canada would not insist on the origin of these people, nor their diplomas when they are interviewed on Catholicism or Protestantism or anything else. They live it as an indiscretion, perhaps as a mockery, even as "a flower jetage" hiding something. But the Muslim communitarian as it does because it positioned well in the community, enhances its prestige and increases its chances of one day become one of the leaders listened to the community.
It is not useful to recall the origins of French Canadian, Italian, Belgian or Irish because these people are not proselytes of their community or their religion when they. There is therefore no need to reassure others in launching the message: "See therefore brave people like this person is of Irish-educated, hard working, kind, normal and friendly, yet its origin is Irish." Anyway, the Irish question would not do that!
Radio Canada does not know can be what kind of message it distills, but both condescending and flat-to-may make ventrisme some of its guests that more arrogant, more daring in a lie in the manipulation and opportunism Knowing that does not openly blame and that anyway the audience was asleep in the early minutes of the show. But the audience he was really asleep?
Radio Canada, Father Boulad and specialist ovens are agreed that radical Islamists are a minority. Similarly, the proportion of drug traffickers is small compared to the total population of Montreal. The drug therefore represents no danger to society and we can rest on our laurels. We did not even need to warn our children against this scourge.
Only a minority of political and religious leaders produce and broadcast a speech radical Islamist. False because the majority of Muslims do not blame these radicals and are more likely to listen and to follow them. Again, the famous law of Pareto works wonderfully: 20% of causes are responsible for 80% damage! In any totalitarian ideology, there is forming an elite minority holding a majority in breath and leads by the nose. The most courageous among the silent majority, are suppressed, or die, which is kif kif.
Specifically it means all this? The countries where Islam holds political power are totalitarian, freedoms, oppressive and repressive, and we see no need for additional evidence. Elsewhere in the Muslim world, Islam does not despair of reaching govern directly and permanently. The few countries that have allowed Islamist parties to activate legally saw them win elections (Algeria, Sudan, Palestine, Pakistan, Turkey). In these countries, militant Islamist parties are, of course, minority, but their members, sympathizers and their voters were the majority.
The example of Algeria is just typical during the elections of 1990 and during the 1991 Legislature, there was also nominated for so-called moderate Islamist parties and three parties modern democracy. They had made the ridiculous score of 1% to 5% in the 46 departments where the radical Islamic party was established. The two departments where this party was absent because of language, lack of militants and rejected by the people, parties Democrats have won over 90%. At Nationwide, the proportion is the party's most radical Islamist who has won. The party relied on some influential and radical, but how were they to follow? It is irrelevant how many people preach radical Islam. It is more interesting to know how many people listen because they could organize themselves, formalize and disseminate this speech.
After discontinuation of the electoral process, a minority among the radicals took up arms to engage in terrorism. They were 3000, 10 000 40 000? No more. But how many people were spontaneous outings in the streets to protest against barbarism and daily killings? How such a slaughter she could let marble millions of people who are yet to complain of being victims? How many have taken up arms to fight, while the government distributed to all those who wanted to enlist in the militias popular self-defense? How were they to appoint only "Islamic terrorists"? Lamine Foura knows the answers as much as I do, since we were both on site at the time.
How were they in years 80 to rush to go fight in Afghanistan during the Soviet occupation? How are they still to declare their readiness to fight in Palestine and Iraq? The dictators of the Arab countries now closely monitor their youth lest it n'inonde Palestine and Iraq. So much so that the first destination of the jihadists has become the West, because then it is easier to reach the Middle East. I wonder, before such courage and determination of young Muslims, how these famous terrorists and other radical evil can strut without fear in their towns and villages, without fearing anyone. There is simply person to fear. Moreover, in Algeria, any terrorist can go to a police station, put his gun and go quietly to rest two or three months before murdering a policeman or a policeman, the offload his weapon and resume the bush. A real paradise for Islamist terrorists, blessed by the popular will and the forgiveness guaranteed by the chairman of the riboublique.
Lamine Foura does not care all that happened in his own country and does not care what happens elsewhere. His only concern INTELLECTUA spoiled child is to understand how we arrived there "referring to the rise of Islamic fundamentalism. This questioning is a false intellectual posture trying to fool his audience. When there is carnage in his own community, an intellectual should betray a part of his community, one that is guilty. It does not save everyone, perpetrators and victims under the pretext that they are all his own. This pretext communitarian unconditional pushing Lamine Four to "question" and then serve on a platter disparate reasons which are heard by a miracle child Islamic terrorist regardless of goodwill of culture and religion Muslim.
Like everyone, Lamine Four seeks to create this image dear to European chroniclers of the good old days of the colonies: Islam, perfumes smell of jasmine mixed with orange, during voluptuous women whispering behind their veils rustle, shadow and darkness housing the frolics man and woman in the freshness of the setting sun casting its color purple on the undulating horizon of the Mediterranean .... and potatoes and potatoes. For Lamine Foura, anything that is not unbridled poetry is not Islam. A real slogan for sex tourists to Malek Chebel. We must listen Lamine Foura.
This "intellectual" is completely disconnected from reality and appears to be under the influence of a narcotic. Unless it does that remains elusive. Half the planet today is regularly shaken by Islamist attacks. The free media (the Web not to appoint him) reported every day hundreds of cases of mistreatment and abuse with impunity on women, religious minorities in the Muslim world and in Muslim communities in the West. Mr Foura wants to "understand how we arrived there." Usually you wonder how after something unfortunate could have happen. We want to find out afterwards calmly, once the unfortunate event behind us, how things have slipped while everything was fine. Here then, it went well?
Lamine Foura plays on words to suggest that usual, Islamic fundamentalism does not exist in its violent and terrorist. I understand the process if Muslim countries have been democracies and the Islamist terrorist adventure was a brief parenthesis in the past now. The fact that Lamine Four is the question while it is happening again is not mere curiosity neutral, but a willingness to immediately appoint officials, even guilty, to immediately bring charges.
The culprits are of course the West and Jews. It lists a series of cases that dummy do any analysis, however short. Saying that "it's complicated" is just a simplistic way of trying to cover their tracks. The technique is to establish a multitude of cases mounted fan to keep spirits as much as possible the only real cause: the violent and aggressive nature of Islam, never ceased children Islamism. Lamine Foura therefore directs viewers to other considerations to prevent it from seeking in Islam itself the rise of fundamentalism (euphemism for terrorism, intellectual and factual). Lamine Foura counting on the laziness of the viewer to get there because there is a caricature showing the viewer slumped on his sofa, liabilities, gobant whole and not reflective.
According Lamine Four, the causes of the rise of Islamic fundamentalism were totally alien to Islam and Muslim societies. See this:
"What happened after the 2nd World War"
What has happened after the second world war that would explain the rise of Islamic fundamentalism today in all Muslim countries and Muslim communities established in the West? Lamine Foura does not say so. But in coded language Islamic Lamine Foura discussed the creation of the State of Israel. For him, this "injustice" justifies the radicalization of Muslim societies and its corollary, Islamist terrorism.
What Lamine Foura cache is that all current Arab states were created after that of Israel or in the same decade. The Arab nation states today in their borders and their sovereignty, have been created by colonial forces as the decolonization movement empower Arab peoples. Most of these reports are mere provinces of the Ottoman Empire or from different governorates Caliphates before the empire. Thus, an Algerian citizen of a sovereign state, Algeria, founded in 1962 is quite normal to challenge the state of Israel yet established in 1948. Israel is the only state unanimously challenged in the Muslim world.
"Colonization"
We notice that most colonial episode is distant history in Muslim countries over Islamic fundamentalism is gaining in thickness in Muslim societies. If colonialism was the cause of the rise of fundamentalism, it would have assisted rather to reverse. The injury is calm and generally heal with time, and with them, resentment and feelings of hatred fed by the colonial fade. Generally, as the memory treats the most tragic episodes in their history, the people calm down and become prone to forgiveness. Thus, Europeans, Russians and Americans today feel no hatred against the Germans, nor to the Japanese, while in the Muslim world, hatred of French and English, former colonizers, is more visceral, including even the Western countries that have colonized any Muslim country (Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Switzerland). For these countries there are other reasons cited.
"What is happening in the Middle East"
Lamine Foura confirms what everyone has come to believe the problem is not between Palestinians and Israelis, but between the Muslim world and Jews. The conflict between Israel and Palestine can grow Nigerian Muslims to radicalize. Thus, the existence of Israel as much a problem for Muslims in Indonesia, the Berbers of North Africa, the Iranian and I do not know what ethnic group in Nigeria under the jurisdiction of the Sharia. The hypothesis, if true, Israel has despoiled land Arabic to explain the rigor a rise of Arab nationalism. But we see that all Muslims on earth are against Israel. But historically, this land was rather the birthplace of Judaism and Christianity, not Islam .. By a sleight of hand to Islamize the Christian and Jewish history that the Muslim conquerors had made a Muslim land since forever and ever. At this "forever" believe that all Muslims Jakarta to Rabat and not to give the Palestinians a viable and modern state.
But beyond its formulation, it is unclear how this problem can explain that Islamist armed group slaughtered thousands of people in Algeria, another raises bombs in Egypt, another crisis in Morocco, another in the Philippines, another India, etc.
"Interventions increasingly intense in the West in Muslim countries"
The only intervention of the West in Muslim countries were in Iraq and Afghanistan. Since then, there have been no other, despite Darfur. Lamine Foura speculates thus adding his "increasingly intense." The rise of modern Islamic radicalism began well before any intervention by the West as a Muslim country. The campuses of the Arab world already teeming young preachers ignited in the late 70s. The war against the Soviets in Afghanistan was carried out by radical Islamists, funded by Saudi Arabia and supported by Pakistan and the West, precisely. The seizure of power by radical Islamists in Iran and Sudan has nothing to do with "interventions increasingly intense in the West in Muslim countries."
The sticking massive Algeria have nothing to do with the West and are certainly not committed to punish the regime, nor denounce the administration.
Lamine Foura what defines us secularism, to us ignorant, advance and the'islam that may fall within the theocracy. It's like say that water can be wet if we do not blunder!
Lamine Foura does not know without doubt Saudi Arabia or the Sudan or Iran. Where potentates govern in the name of religion and Islam. For him, these countries are fictitious and Islam has nothing to do with any form of theocracy. It intends G. Bush to speak well axis and axis of evil, but never heard Khomeini and other Islamic preachers talk about Great Satan is already 30 years. The U.S. of G Bush would be totalitarian, but not Iran or Saudi Arabia or the Sudan, nor any other Muslim country. It must be to allow Radio Canada say that without shy.
Finally, Lamine Four runs in a speech that neither head nor tail. He contends that the lack of religious freedom in Muslim countries is the lack of freedom itself that has nothing to do with religion. However, we see that in countries where Islam is in power that there is less freedom, including religious freedom (Arabia, some Gulf countries, Iran, Sudan). In other totalitarian countries, the lack of freedom is justified by Islam, known by other names, such as "national constants", "Muslim values framework", "our values and traditions" etc ... but all these disguised in secular dictatorships continue to introduce Islam the state religion and to take advice from clerics and other advice from the fatwa. They are all members of the Islamic Summit and all use Islam to end their policies because people ask. All Muslim societies are against "freedom itself" and this is directly related to religion.
In most of these dictatorships, there are political parties and cultural associations in favor of freedom, secularism, democracy, freedom of worship, to diversity. These parties and these associations are tiny, downright invisible. They do not sucked or Algeria or Morocco, or Tunisia or Egypt, or zero otherwise. They simply disappear for lack of human component to promote, disseminate and upholding these values.
This is of course the happiness of dictatorships in place, they know what the people want to hear.
For Lamine Foura, Islam has nothing to do with the catastrophic situation of Muslim countries. It puts everything on the back of colonialism. Nothing has ever happened before colonialism and nothing after. Thus, in Algeria, 46 years after independence, dictatorship and Islamism murderer charged on French colonialism. It does not accuse the West of trade with Saudi Arabia totalitarian, fundamentalist, theocratic and freedoms. No, it makes it responsible for attacks and killings that happen in the West itself.
Christianity and Islam
What about the comparison between Christianity and Islam. Lamine Foura wants to make us fatalistic. For reasons of equity, see equality, we must now leave Islam do what it wants because the Inquisition had done what she wanted in the Middle Ages. We must therefore compare Islam to Christianity today the fourteenth century, which would make lenient.
You must be totally geek to believe that Christians today endorse the Saint Bartholomew, witch hunting and burning heretics to time. Lamine Foura is categorical: Islam will evolve over time. Just be patient, bending the spine and count the dead to pass the time. In five or six centuries, Islam will be the same stage of development as Christianity today. I swear, it Lamine Four and who says we must believe. Otherwise, you would be in bad faith.
