• USA: How the religious right distorts history
  10 July 2011, by siawi

  . . . a brand-new citizen has an absolute right to declare allegiance to the United States without acknowledging the authority of any god. This right is written into the Constitution. It makes me proud to recall that the founders, who did in fact live in an era when the states were peopled almost entirely by Christians, thought to include freethinkers and non-Christians (as well as Christian denominations forbidding the taking of oaths) in their basic laws. And it disgusts me to know that the governor of a large state, as well as a number of declared presidential candidates, are either ignorant or contemptuous of the best of our nation’s founding principles.

• How Fundamentalist Religion Is Destroying the World
  8 July 2011, by siawi

  The deluded religious belief that any people or nation or church is a “chosen” people is the root of almost all our troubles.

• Botswana president speaks up for LGBTI rights
  7 February, by siawi3

  In November, when Botswana‘s new president, Mokgweetsi Masisi, gave a speech against violence on women and children, he also emphasized the rights of LGBTI people. He made it clear that LGBTI people should have the same rights as every other citizen. In March, the Botswana High Court is scheduled to hear Botswana’s LGBTI rights organization’s lawsuit challenging Botswana’s anti-homosexuality law.

• India: How does the BJP Control Educational Institutions?
  25 October 2017, by siawi3

  …With regard to educational and cultural institutions of all kinds, the plan is simple: put Sangh loyalists into positions of control and authority in each and every case. The T.S.R. report talks of the necessity of ‘value education’ being integral to teaching. This is a long-standing obsession of the Sangh, and is shorthand for inculcating and indoctrinating Hindutva values and beliefs in schoolchildren from an early age. At the university and tertiary level, the report calls for curbing student involvement in politics, meaning that educational institutions should effectively ban or otherwise prevent such activities.

• UK: Second Kafir Comedy Night Hosted by Maha
  6 March 2014, by siawi3

  Look, we know it’s not easy defending yourself constantly against a religious mob. So take a break from the Facebook forums and let out the frustration with a laugh. If you’ve got some steam to let off, this is your night to do it.

• Moyen Orient : Comprendre l’imbroglio syrien pour éviter d’être l’idiot utile d’un impérialisme ...ou d’un de ses alliés communautaristes ou intégristes
  12 novembre 2016, par siawi3

  Nous devons opter pour la stratégie du double front d’une part contre les impérialismes et d’autre part contre les communautarismes et intégrismes religieux qu’ils soient djihadistes ou pas car les seconds sont le terreau des premiers. A la stratégie du double front, nous devons ajouter la liaison des combats démocratique, laïque, social, écologique et féministe. C’est plus difficile, mais c’est le seul chemin possible vers l’émancipation.

• France : La laïcité, composante centrale du combat féministe
  28 juin 2017, par siawi3

  Le féminisme est une lutte politique menée par des femmes et des hommes qui combattent les multiples effets de l’oppression patriarcale, qui repose sur l’idéologie naturaliste de la différence entre les sexes. Cette bipartition du genre est avant tout un fait culturel qui assigne un statut inférieur aux femmes. Cette logique se retrouve partout dans le monde, et aujourd’hui les trois religions monothéistes sont les principales promotrices du pouvoir patriarcal.

• Nigeria: Before You Proceed
  16 January 2014, by siawi3

  And now, here’s the worst part: if this law is allowed to sail through, it could be your affairs that will be considered criminal tomorrow. You use your left hand to write? Criminal. You squeeze your paste from the bottom of the tube? Criminal. You wear your wristwatch on the right hand. You criminal! The facts may be different, but the principle is the same. This law is a test by the legislature, a measurement of how much nonsense can be dumped on the public.
