Europeans should find inspiration rather than suspicion from Redeker’s words; for you need many Redekers to claw yourselves out of the graves you’ve dug. The strength of one’s own convictions shouldn’t be so difficult to comprehend. “To thyself be true”

Excerpt: Within a day after publication, the piece was being condemned on al Jazeera by the popular on-air preacher (and unofficial voice of Osama bin Laden) Sheikh Youssef al-Qaradawi. In Egypt and Tunisia, the offending issue of Le Figaro was banned. As for Redeker himself, he soon received a large number of threats by letter and e-mail. On an Islamist website, he was sentenced to death in a posting that, in order to facilitate a potential assassin’s task, also provided his address and a photograph of his home. Fearful for himself and his family, Redeker sought protection from the local police, who transferred the case to the national counter-espionage authorities. On their advice, Redeker, his wife, and three children fled their home and took shelter in a secret location. Since then, they have moved from city to city, at their own expense, under police protection. Another teacher has been appointed by the French Ministry of Education to replace Redeker, who will probably never see his students again. http://www.commentarymagazine.com/article/the-redeker-affair/

Merci : pas besoin de plombier en ce moment.

You seem to have lost your voice? Don’t worry you will get well soon in fact as soon as you are talking to people who agree with you. It is sad that a seemingly intelligent and educated person is taking refuge in such a childish way.

Ooops sorry, Sittingbull, couldn’t help it. Won’t happen again.
