Comunicato sulle stragi di Parigi

Apprendiamo con profondo senso di sdegno, dolore e tristezza degli orribili attentati di Parigi, di fronte a questo orrore il nostro pensiero e la nostra vicinanza vanno alle vittime, ai feriti, alle loro famiglie e ai loro cari e alla Francia intera. La nostra condanna è assoluta a ogni violenza e a ogni spargimento di sangue. In questi momenti ribadiamo l’importanza di rafforzare lo spirito di unità e di coesione all’interno delle nostre società; facciamo quindi appello alle istituzioni, alla società civile, alle comunità religiose, ai mezzi di informazione e a tutta la cittadinanza di fare fronte comune di fronte a questa barbarie, non diamo spazio a chi vuole fomentare l’odio, il fanatismo e il rifiuto dell’altro.

 4  Manifestazione a Milano
Condanniamo il terrorismo dell’Isis in modo chiaro e inequivocabile, il concetto di guerra santa non ci appartiene. E questa presa di distanza non è la “nostra”, ma è quella dei cittadini di Milano di cui facciamo parte». Le parole di Davide Piccardo del Caim (Coordinamento associazioni islamiche milanesi) sono il momento centrale del messaggio dei musulmani alla città: «Siamo tutti accomunati dai principi della Costituzione italiana». Gli islamici di Milano (ma non soltanto) si sono radunati ieri in serata in piazza Affari per una fiaccolata «contro il terrorismo e contro l’Isis», come recita il manifesto dell’iniziativa promossa dalla web radio Dirittozero. Un paio di centinaia di persone, molti i giovani e ancor di più le giovanissime donne, hanno bruciato fiaccole e liberato palloncini bianchi con la scritta «No Isis». Soprattutto si sono succeduti al microfono per pronunciare parole nette contro il terrorismo.

No alla violenza

Emoziona molto l’intervento di Chaimaa Fatihi, 21 anni, minuta e sorridente sotto il velo, al primo anno di giurisprudenza a Modena: «Noi siamo contrari a ogni forma di violenza e intolleranza religiosa. Noi condanniamo e deprechiamo ogni forma, anche mascherata di antisemitismo, di persecuzione religiosa, ogni parola d’odio, ogni giustificazione della superiorità della razza o di inferiorità per motivo religioso, di sesso, di convinzione politica». E ancora, nel silenzio assoluto interrotto solo dagli applausi: «Noi rifiutiamo ogni estremismo e soprattutto il Nazismo, le sue camere degli orrori, le sue ideologie mostruose. Quell’orrore è qui che ci minaccia ancora. I criminali dell’Isis sono qui, loro sono i nuovi nazisti. Usano la fede che non gli appartiene per compiere atti ignobili». In piazza c’è anche Gad Lerner, che si è prodigato nei giorni scorsi per dare visibilità all’iniziativa: «È importante questa condanna senza eufemismi e reticenze - commenta - noi della sinistra degli anni ‘70 sappiamo cosa significhi non prendere nettamente le distanze dai “compagni che sbagliano”.

I partiti

E invece queste persone hanno coraggio a presentarsi qui con i loro volti e a chiamare l’Isis per nome». Alla manifestazione hanno aderito anche la Comunità di Sant’Egidio, il Pd e il Psi. «Questa di fatto è la prima manifestazione milanese contro l’Isis e l’hanno promossa proprio i musulmani, fa notare l’assessore alle Politiche sociali Pierfrancesco Majorino. «Oggi abbiamo sentito la voce chiara dell’Islam», aggiunge al microfono Stefanio Boeri. «Not in my name», grida un’altra giovanissima oratrice in jeans polo, un filo di trucco e nessun velo, prima che Hamza Piccardo, legga una dolorosa «lettera a un decapitato». Poi i più giovani inscenano un flash mob: che si conclude - sulle note di One degli U2 - con il rogo della bandiera nera dell’Isis».

Muslim Scholars To Islamic State: You Don't Understand Islam

WASHINGTON (RNS) More than 120 Muslim scholars from around the world joined an open letter to the “fighters and followers” of the Islamic State,…

WASHINGTON (RNS) More than 120 Muslim scholars from around the world joined an open letter to the “fighters and followers” of the Islamic State, denouncing them as un-Islamic by using the most Islamic of terms.
Relying heavily on the Quran, the 18-page letter released Wednesday (Sept. 24) picks apart the extremist ideology of the militants who have left a wake of brutal death and destruction in their bid to establish a transnational Islamic state in Iraq and Syria.
Even translated into English, the letter will still sound alien to most Americans, said Nihad Awad, executive director of the Council of American-Islamic Relations, who released it in Washington with 10 other American Muslim religious and civil rights leaders.
“The letter is written in Arabic. It is using heavy classical religious texts and classical religious scholars that ISIS has used to mobilize young people to join its forces,” said Awad, using one of the acronyms for the group. “This letter is not meant for a liberal audience.”
Even mainstream Muslims, he said, may find it difficult to understand.
Awad said its aim is to offer a comprehensive Islamic refutation, “point-by-point,” to the philosophy of the Islamic State and the violence it has perpetrated. The letter’s authors include well-known religious and scholarly figures in the Muslim world, including Sheikh Shawqi Allam, the grand mufti of Egypt, and Sheikh Muhammad Ahmad Hussein, the mufti of Jerusalem and All Palestine.
A translated 24-point summary of the letter includes the following: “It is forbidden in Islam to torture”; “It is forbidden in Islam to attribute evil acts to God”; and “It is forbidden in Islam to declare people non-Muslims until he (or she) openly declares disbelief.”
This is not the first time Muslim leaders have joined to condemn the Islamic State. The chairman of the Central Council of Muslims in Germany, Aiman Mazyek, for example, last week told the nation’s Muslims that they should speak out against the “terrorist and murderers” who fight for the Islamic State and who have dragged Islam “through the mud.”
But the Muslim leaders who endorsed Wednesday’s letter called it an unprecedented refutation of the Islamic State ideology from a collaboration of religious scholars. It is addressed to the group’s self-anointed leader, Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi, and “the fighters and followers of the self-declared ‘Islamic State.’”
But the words “Islamic State” are in quotes, and the Muslim leaders who released the letter asked people to stop using the term, arguing that it plays into the group’s unfounded logic that it is protecting Muslim lands from non-Muslims and is resurrecting the caliphate — a state governed by a Muslim leader that once controlled vast swaths of the Middle East.
“Please stop calling them the ‘Islamic State,’ because they are not a state and they are not a religion,” said Ahmed Bedier, a Muslim and the president of United Voices of America, a nonprofit that encourages minority groups to engage in civic life.
President Obama has made a similar point, referring to the Islamic State by one of its acronyms — “the group known as ISIL” — in his speech to the United Nations earlier Wednesday. In that speech, Obama also disconnected the group from Islam.
Enumerating its atrocities — the mass rape of women, the gunning down of children, the starvation of religious minorities — Obama concluded: “No God condones this terror.”
Here is the executive summary of their letter:
1. It is forbidden in Islam to issue fatwas without all the necessary learning requirements. Even then fatwas must follow Islamic legal theory as defined in the Classical texts. It is also forbidden to cite a portion of a verse from the Qur’an—or part of a verse—to derive a ruling without looking at everything that the Qur’an and Hadith teach related to that matter. In other words, there are strict subjective and objective prerequisites for fatwas, and one cannot ‘cherry-pick’ Qur’anic verses for legal arguments without considering the entire Qur’an and Hadith.
2. It is forbidden in Islam to issue legal rulings about anything without mastery of the Arabic language.
3. It is forbidden in Islam to oversimplify Shari’ah matters and ignore established Islamic sciences.
4. It is permissible in Islam [for scholars] to differ on any matter, except those fundamentals of religion that all Muslims must know.
5. It is forbidden in Islam to ignore the reality of contemporary times when deriving legal rulings.
6. It is forbidden in Islam to kill the innocent.
7. It is forbidden in Islam to kill emissaries, ambassadors, and diplomats; hence it is forbidden to kill journalists and aid workers.
8. Jihad in Islam is defensive war. It is not permissible without the right cause, the right purpose and without the right rules of conduct.
9. It is forbidden in Islam to declare people non-Muslim unless he (or she) openly declares disbelief.
10. It is forbidden in Islam to harm or mistreat—in any way—Christians or any ‘People of the Scripture’.
11. It is obligatory to consider Yazidis as People of the Scripture.
12. The re-introduction of slavery is forbidden in Islam. It was abolished by universal consensus.
13. It is forbidden in Islam to force people to convert.
14. It is forbidden in Islam to deny women their rights.
15. It is forbidden in Islam to deny children their rights.
16. It is forbidden in Islam to enact legal punishments (hudud) without following the correct
procedures that ensure justice and mercy.
17. It is forbidden in Islam to torture people.
18. It is forbidden in Islam to disfigure the dead.
19. It is forbidden in Islam to attribute evil acts to God.
20. It is forbidden in Islam to destroy the graves and shrines of Prophets and Companions.
21. Armed insurrection is forbidden in Islam for any reason other than clear disbelief by the ruler and not allowing people to pray.
22. It is forbidden in Islam to declare a caliphate without consensus from all Muslims.
23. Loyalty to one’s nation is permissible in Islam.
24. After the death of the Prophet, Islam does not require anyone to emigrate anywhere.

Je suis Muslim

I wish to join the march of humanity on every corner of this fragile earth against barbarism as a Muslim and a human.

@HamidDabashi

I am a Muslim. As a Muslim, I wish to pay my respect to those Parisians who lost their lives on that terrifying night on November 13. As a Muslim, I wish to express my condolences to all those who have lost a loved one during this diabolic attack in Paris. As a Muslim, I wish to express my solidarity with the French people suffering now the trauma of this murderous mayhem perpetrated on innocent people.
As a Muslim, I wish to denounce any and all acts of genocidal, homicidal, and suicidal violence, anywhere in the world; and in particular, I wish to denounce the criminal gangs gathered under the flag of "Islamic State" or any other similar group terrorising innocent people from India, Afghanistan and Pakistan to Iraq and Syria, from North Africa to Turkey, and from the Arab and Muslim world to Europe and the US.

World leaders condemn deadly attacks in Paris

I wish to ask, can a Muslim today say that she or he is a Muslim, and then say what I just said? Am I - and millions of other Muslims like me - allowed to express our sympathies, solidarities, and sorrows on this horrific occasion, and do so from the innermost depth of our humanities as Muslims?
Talk of values
In a speech expressing his solidarity and sympathy with the French, US President Barack Obama said, "This is an attack not just on Paris, its attack not just on the people of France, but this is an attack on all of humanity and the universal values that we share."
Of course, the attack on the French is an attack on humanity, but is an attack on a Lebanese, an Afghan, a Yazidi, a Kurd, and Iraqi, a Somali, or a Palestinian any less an attack "on all of humanity and the universal values that we share"? What is it exactly that a North American and a French share that the rest of humanity are denied sharing?

Live blog: Paris attacks

In his speech, UK Prime Minister David Cameron, speaking as a European, was emphatic about "our way of life", and then addressing the French he added, "Your values are our values, your pain is our pain, your fight is our fight, and together, we will defeat these terrorists."
What exactly are these French and British values? Can-may, a Muslim share them too - while a Muslim? Or must she or he first denounce being a Muslim and become French or British before sharing those values?
Civilisational other
These are loaded terms, civilisational terms, and culturally coded registers. Both Obama and Cameron opt to choose terms that decidedly and deliberately turn me and millions of Muslims like me to their civilisational other.

Today, Muslims have replaced those Jews and become the civilisational other of Europe, and these heads of states, Obama and Cameron, on this particularly traumatic moment in Paris, perpetuate that demonisation by casting Muslims as Muslims outside the purview of humanity.

They make it impossible for me to remain the Muslim that I am and join them and millions of other people in the US and the UK and the EU in sympathy and solidarity with the suffering of the French.
As a Muslim I defy their provincialism, and I declare my sympathy and solidarity with the French; and I do so, decidedly, pointedly, defiantly, as a Muslim.
When Arabs or Muslims die in the hands of the selfsame criminal Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) gangs in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, or Lebanon, they are reduced to their lowest common denominator and presumed sectarian denominations, overcoming and camouflaging our humanity. But when French or British or US citizens are murdered, they are raised to their highest common abstractions and become the universal icons of humanity at large.
Why? Are we Muslims not human? Does the murder of one of us not constitute harm to the entire body of humanity?
I am who I am
Some 400 years ago, in his Merchant of Venice, William Shakespeare turned the internally demonised other of the European Christianity - the European Jew - into a figure of defiance against systematic stigmatisation and allowed his Shylock character to cry out loud:
"I am a Jew. Hath not a Jew eyes? Hath not a Jew hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions? Fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same diseases, healed by the same means, warmed and cooled by the same winter and summer, as a Christian is? If you prick us, do we not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you poison us, do we not die?"

By doing so, they are making it impossible for Muslims to remain Muslims and join in the universal march of humanity against the barbarity of ISIL or any other murderous act of homicide. Why? I refuse to allow them or anyone else to alienate me from who I am.

I am a man. I am a Muslim. I am a human being - and, precisely, as all of those and remaining true to who I am, I wish to join the march of humanity on every corner of this fragile earth against barbarism.
Please, President Obama and Prime Minster Cameron, stand aside and make room for me. I wish to join the rest of humanity and denounce this barbaric act. Would you mind?

Paris terror attacks: We Muslims must hunt down these monsters who make a mockery of our religion

Twelve years ago, I converted to Islam to marry a Tunisian. It was a purely formal conversion. I remained fundamentally agnostic until 20 months ago, I experienced a spiritual revelation, started to believe in God and to practise my religion of adoption.

We must take the lead in fighting and hunting down extremists, not just beside, but ahead of, our Christian, and Jewish brothers and sisters.

In the wake of the Charlie Hebdo attacks earlier this year, I felt it was my duty as a concerned Muslim citizen to express my outrage at having my religion hijacked by mindless thugs.

With several French Muslim theologians and intellectuals, we launched the “Khlass le silence!” (“Enough with the silence!”) movement, which called on French Muslims to take the lead in the struggle against the monsters who make a sordid mockery of our religion.

Despite the emotion felt throughout France and the French Muslim community, our appeal fell largely on deaf ears.

Less than a month later I teamed up with Anwar Ibrahim, the charismatic leader of Malaysia’s opposition; the Palestinian-Austrian theologian Adnan Ibrahim; and a number of other authoritative Muslim figures from all around the world.
• In pictures: A night of carnage in France's capital
Together, we argued that while our natural instinct as Muslims to distance ourselves from the jihadists, saying that the latter have “nothing to do with Islam”, was understandable, it was dubious intellectually and altogether irresponsible to keep our reaction at that.
The last serious attempt at launching a movement of Islamic reform, led by the Egyptian Muhammad Abduh at the turn of the 20th century, ended up in failure and gave way to the creation of the Muslim brotherhood.
To overcome the state of denial described above and the moral decadence that is affecting many of us, nothing less than a new movement of Islamic reform is needed.
Despite some welcome marks of support, our calls continued to go unheeded. Our initiative was attacked or ridiculed by many in the French Muslim community and we were soon branded apostates by Islamic State (my picture appeared along with death threats in their French language propaganda magazine Dar al Islam).
Not a single Muslim leader came to our defence in France when that happened, and barely a thousand of our fellow Muslims manifested their support for our initiative.
On this ignominious day, the time has come for me to repeat with a greater sense of urgency still what my cosignatories and I said earlier this year:
“My dear Muslim brothers and sisters, it is time to make our voices heard: we must rise up massively and tell the barbarians who ordered, executed or condoned the acts of mass murder just committed in Paris that from now on we will take the lead in fighting and hunting them down, not just beside, but ahead of, our Christian, Jewish, or agnostic brothers and sisters.
"We must do so because Muslims are the extremists’ first victims and because we have mustered the courage to take our responsibilities and launch a massive, global movement for Islamic reform.
"If we do not, we must accept that these monsters represent Islam (and us) in the face of the entire world. With obvious consequences in many an forthcoming European election. The choice is ours.”

La Bosnia-Erzegovina risponde così agli attentati di Parigi:
per onorare le vittime, lunedì 16 novembre (oggi), alle ore 12 verranno sincronizzati i 1600 minareti del Paese e verrà invocato Dio. Dio della Pace e dell'amore. -Allahu Akbar- gridato contro il terrorismo ed i terroristi che si sono appropriati di questo "slogan", tradendone il significato.
