• ”Honour”, violence – and leaving Islam
  18 May 2019, by siawi3

  Do ex-Muslims have to die to experience compassion? Ex-Muslims are being hunted and killed in some countries, exported abroad to be murdered by some communities, or being bullied into suicide by other families. There is no outrage. No consideration, no care and no compassion. We are expected to live silently and die silently. There are good victims and bad victims.

  The event was called National Convention against State Complicity in Hate Crimes. This was Sunday. On Tuesday, the state proved its complicity in hate crimes by sending the police to Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) Maharashtra State Secretary, Preethy Shekhar’s house to arrest her. Victims of communal, caste and gender violence and kin came together in Mumbai to question and deliberate upon the recent spate of hate crimes in the country. The family members shared their experiences and described their struggles to get justice. The resolution highlighted, “The most disturbing aspect of these developments is the complicity of state machinery. Officials in civil administration and police forces are coerced to side with the perpetrators. Upright officers who refuse to surrender are silenced in so many ways."

  Tabrej Ansari, a young man of 24 years, accused of theft was killed by a blood thirsty mob in Jharkhand last week. It is deeply painful how as a society this feeling of “us” versus them has penetrated among us. The system is encouraging this by refusing to act..

• Trahir les femmes et la liberté de penser au nom des massacres de Christchurch
  24 mars 2019, par Marieme Helie Lucas, siawi3

  Si nous sommes sensibles à l’intention généreuse qui a présidé à ces actions symboliques, nous nous démarquons fermement de certaines d’entre elles qui sont, en fait, de nature à accroître la confusion, qui hélas prévaut déjà, entre foi religieuse personnelle et politiques identitaires communautaristes. Les manifestations de solidarité sont plus nécessaires que jamais. Nous appelons les personnes bien intentionnées à trouver d’autres symboles pour exprimer leur solidarité avec les victimes de la tuerie de Christchurch. Des symboles qui ne les amèneraient pas à se compromettre idéologiquement avec l’extrême-droite musulmane, sous prétexte de s’opposer à l’extrême-droite xénophobe anti-musulmans. Ce serait un désastre majeur si les homicides racistes perpétrés à Christchurch contre des croyants musulmans, au final, apportaient de l’eau au moulin de l’extrême droite musulmane. Il nous appartient de faire que cela n’arrive pas.
