French constitution allows French nationals to disrespect Islam lately?
They even mock about christianisme so not limited to Islam.
I’m not discussing about if right or wrong.
They treat everyone equal in front of law whatever could be his her faith.
Now as in past centuries Christian clergy abused a lot people, kings abused people, wars on religions’ names etc, they came up with a new system “the Republic” from which they separated religions and get the freedom of speech. This freedom of speech is regulated by laws. You can say whatever in whichever form you want on some topics but not on every topics. Perfect or not is not the question.
Unfortunately some people understood that publishing some cartoons could anger Muslims.. Remember when some danish published some cartoons and we witnessed riots in Pakistan where many cars were burnt and if I remember correctly some were even murdered.
So know they are using these cartoons for some well understood agenda. And Muslims, instead of requesting some kind of respect, are killing... in the name of Islam, in the name of our Prophet.
The terrorist killed one teacher because he insulted our Prophet and what he gained ? Today more caricatures have been published.
We are not able to think rationally, we could think how to use existing laws could be used to request respect or how could we discuss to educate ourselves and to educate others to help them to understand our sensibility. Maybe we could have been successfully able to change the trend. But with what is happening since several decades, it’s near impossible. Because we Muslims abused the country.
I remember since all my childhood I never felt racism or islamophobia. But dur to some radicals, and terrorisme I may feel racism and islamophobia in very short period. Who is to be blamed ? French people or ourselves ? Agreed France as others countries killed many people during wars etc, but they are not to be singled out, every country, every empire has blood on his hands. Geopolitics is at play too. If we were a little bit intelligent we could have voiced our concerns with well articulated logic, reasoning and by using concepts they understand in their language. But unfortunately we had and maybe still have dumb imams who don’t speak french correctly so what to expect from our communities (I use plural because each ethnie has its own mosque with his own mindset).
The “war” France is and has to fight us the roughly to some extent the same we had and still has to fight against terror. We were also faulty in the past and had payed highest price with more than 70000 deaths.
It’s very complex as the problem has link with too many aspects. We could have voiced our concerns if only “we” were a little bit more united and if the “leaders” in our communities were better educated.
