this pressed: L’imam de Bordeaux : «Les musulmans doivent se manifester pour dire stop» @leJDD
En tant que responsable religieux comment réagissez-vous aux massacres de vendredi à Paris?
Ma première réaction est celle d’un citoyen, et c’est l’effroi et la consternation qui m’assaillent. Ensuite, du point de vue religieux, la position de l’islam est très claire : ces meurtres appellent à une triple condamnation – éthique, juridique et théologique. Éthique parce qu’aucune morale ne donne l’autorisation de tuer des innocents. Juridique parce que ces actes ne respectent pas la guerre telle qu’elle est dictée dans la tradition musulmane. Théologique, enfin, parce que ces kamikazes sont persuadés qu’ils iront au paradis alors qu’ils risquent davantage de se retrouver en enfer.
Vous pouvez lire ici notre direct
Pensez-vous pouvoir être entendu sur ces questions aujourd’hui?
Ces thèmes sont déjà engagés au niveau politique. Mais les réponses pour l’instant ne sont pas à la hauteur : elles ne s’attaquent qu’aux symptômes sans s’attaquer aux causes de la crise sociétale que nous traversons. Sur ce thème, il faut aussi aborder la responsabilité des imams et des responsables musulmans. Les institutions musulmanes doivent parler, se manifester. D’ailleurs, elles ont toutes fait des communiqués pour condamner ce qui s’est passé.
Lire aussi : Attentats de Paris : sept terroristes sont morts
Est-ce suffisant?
C’est nécessaire mais pas suffisant. Les musulmans doivent aussi se manifester pour dire stop, pour dire qu’on n’accepte pas ces actions au nom de notre religion. Cela passe par la responsabilisation des musulmans en tant que citoyen. C’est ce que nous essayons de faire dans nos prêches et nos conférences. De ne pas rester dans la passivité, de participer aux débats. De ne pas laisser ces gens-là confisquer leur religion.Lire aussi :

Vezi imaginea pe Twitter
comentarii, Un turn Eiffel simplificat, înconjurat de un cerc negru: ‘Peace for Paris’ (Pace pentru Paris), un desen realizat imediat după atentatele de la Paris de către un tânăr desenator francez, s-a răspândit cu repeziciune pe rețelele sociale sâmbătă.
“Ascultam la radio noaptea trecută și prima mea reacție a fost să desenez și să împărtășesc acest lucru”, a declarat pentru AFP Jean Jullien, desenator francez de 32 de ani care trăiește la Londra.
“A fost spontan, am vrut să fac ceva care poate fi util oamenilor”, a spus el.
“Având în vedere violența atacurilor (care au făcut 128 morți), simbolul +Peace and Love+ se impunea. Tehnica a fost destul de simplă, cu Turnul Eiffel, simbolul Parisului. Cele două simboluri sunt strâns legate”, a explicat el.
Jean Jullien a publicat pentru prima dată simbolul pe site-ul său (www.jeanjullien.com) înainte de a-l posta pe contul său de Twitter la scurt timp după miezul nopții (twitter.com/jean_jullien). Postarea a fost distribuită de peste 45.000 de ori
și a constituit subiectul a peste 76.000 de noi postări pe Twitter.
La 7 ianuarie, după ce s-a aflat despre atacul criminal împotriva săptămânalului satiric Charlie Hebdo (soldat cu 12 morți), sloganul ‘Je suis Charlie’ s-a răspândit ca fulgerul. Autorul lui a fost Joachim Roncin, director artistic și jurnalist muzical la revista gratuită Stylist, care a publicat logoul cu litere albe pe fond negru pe contul său de Twitter în mai puțin de o oră după atac.

this pressed: The day after the horror in Paris | The Economist
SHORTLY after the Charlie Hebdo attacks in January, Manuel Valls, France’s prime minister, visited a high school and told pupils: “your generation will have to get used to living with the danger” of terrorism. Since then, Paris has been on high alert. Parisians have indeed grown accustomed to the presence of soldiers patrolling streets, railway stations and places of worship, and the appearance of metal barriers preventing parking outside all schools. But nothing could have prepared the French for what happened last night: the indiscriminate murder of people sitting outside eating pizza, watching a rock concert or attending an international football match. In total, at least 128 were killed and the death toll is likely to keep rising.The French awoke this morning in a state of shock. “Carnage in Paris” read the front page of Libération newspaper. “This time it’s war” was Le Parisien’s headline. Television stations broadcast non-stop scenes of the dead and wounded being carried away in the darkness. President François Hollande went during the night to the Bataclan, a concert venue stormed by terrorists where more than 100 people were killed. He described the events as “a horror” and, having already declared a state of emergency and reintroduced emergency border controls, vowed to lead a “pitiless” war against terrorism.
Mr Hollande blamed Islamic State (IS), the jihadist group that rules large parts of Iraq and Syria. In a statement, the group said it had carried out the “blessed attacks” in retaliation for France’s involvement in allied air strikes against IS. Some suggest the Bataclan, which has been threatened in the past, was targeted because the owners had connection to Israel (and the American band playing had toured Israel in the summer), but such speculation may be ascribing too much forethought to the killers.
The Paris town hall has today closed all schools, museums, libraries, town halls, gyms and markets. The capital’s police chief advised Parisians to stay at home. Many places were quieter than usual, yet there was also a strange sense of defiant normality this morning in Paris. Metro stations near where the attacks took place remained closed. But otherwise trains were running normally on the metro and RER suburban railway. Air France said that it was maintaining flights in and out of the capital and the Eurostar train to London continued to run. Locals were trying to go out and about as usual.
It is hard to know what getting used to terrorism means. The January attacks were shocking enough, a deliberate series of attacks on specific targets: a satirical newspaper, a Jewish supermarket, a policewoman. But last night’s horror was indiscriminate. It had been an unseasonably warm evening for November, and the three attacks on Paris restaurants took place in a busy neighbourhood, around the 11th arrondissement, popular for its bars and nightlife. Tens of thousands of football fans were packed into the Stade de France to watch France play a friendly match against Germany, holders of the world cup. They included Mr Hollande, who was exfiltrated during the match after three explosions around the stadium. The slaughter at the Bataclan took place during a packed rock concert. In each case, these were Parisians enjoying a Friday night out in largely unsecured public places. The idea that even this can no longer be considered safe, as in Tel Aviv or Beirut, comes as a deep shock.

It is also hard to know precisely what Mr Hollande means by a “war” on terrorism. French security sources have been concerned for some time about the possibility of such an attack. Their worries were twofold: forthcoming scheduled events (particularly the Paris climate talks, which start at the end of November) and indiscriminate attacks in public places. Up to a point, tight security measures can be put in place for the first category. The second is far more difficult. It is much easier to get hold of handguns and even automatic weapons in France, part of the borderless Schengen zone, than it is in Britain, an island that retains passport and customs controls at its borders. As recently as August a heavily armed gunman was overwhelmed by fellow passengers as he tried to open fire on a high-speed Thalys train from Amsterdam to Paris. Moreover, among the eight terrorists who died last night were a number of suicide bombers—the first attack of this sort on French soil, posing a new threat to the country.
The French government is well aware that, given these new threats, the best form of prevention is better intelligence. It has already tightened counter-terrorism laws, and Mr Valls, a former interior minister, has boosted the intelligence budget to allow more agents to be recruited. But it takes time to make new trainee analysts fully operational. As it is, French intelligence services are understood to have some 5,000 people with links to terrorism on a watch list; the Thalys gunman had been among them. It is simply not possible to keep anything like that number under surveillance.
As the French try to come to terms with the latest attack, and make sense of what happened, the unpopular Mr Hollande will need unusual political skills to reassure a shaken nation. After the January attacks he emerged as a far more statesman-like leader than many had imagined possible. Back then Mr Valls, too, gave a powerful speech to parliament, urging unity and vowing defiance against terror. He was careful to stress that France was at war with “Islamist terrorism”, not Islam itself, and to recall that the vast majority of France’s Muslims were deeply shocked by the attacks. Indeed, one French policeman shot dead by the Charlie Hebdo gunmen was of Muslim origin.
Even then, however, there was trouble in some schools, where pupils refused to observe a minute’s silence for the victims. France is home to Europe’s biggest Muslim minority, some 5m-6m strong, and some of those in the outer-city estates, where unemployment is high, are young and impressionable. Jihadist recruiters, using French air strikes in Syria and Iraq as a pretext, have been particularly successful in luring French citizens, including converts and young girls, to join IS. France supplies more would-be jihadists than any other European country.
Now Europe’s refugee crisis makes managing the politics even more delicate. Inevitably, some have already tried to point the finger at migrants, even though this latest sort of attack would presumably have been carefully planned and long predated the current exodus of asylum-seekers to Europe. In fact, France has been on the sidelines of the influx, as the vast majority of refugees head to Germany. Robust French foreign policy probably has far more to do with France’s vulnerability to terrorism than refugees.
Marine Le Pen, leader of the far-right National Front (FN), was due to make a statement later today. She is likely to do her best to sound responsible, as part of her effort to reinvent the FN as a respectable party ready to govern. She announced on Twitter that she would suspend her election campaign until further notice.
Ms Le Pen is currently favourite to win election to the presidency of the Nord-Pas-de-Calais-Picardie, in northern France, and will make a formidable campaigner in the presidential election of 2017. For now she will probably dwell more on what she sees as the errors of a borderless Europe. In many ways she does not need to sound inflammatory about immigration in order to win support. If anything, these ghastly attacks in Paris will strengthen her further still.

Panic, confusion after explosions heard near Paris football matchFriday, November 13, 2015 – 01:01Football fans who watched the France-Germany match, near where bombs exploded, speak about panic and confusion inside the stadium. Nathan Frandino reports.
▲ Hide Transcript
Police patrol the streets near the Stade de France national stadium, where hundreds of fans are evacuating following multiple attacks around Paris. The attacks included gunmen and bombers and killed scores of people. Earlier in the evening, inside the stadium, explosions could be heard during a France-Germany friendly match. The match continued until the end but panic broke out in the crowd as rumors of the attack spread. Afterwards fans streamed out in small groups to try to get home.
This fan says, “We were all happy, but when we left the stadium there was a big disenchantment. The party was ruined and everybody started to panic.”
French President Francois Hollande, who was attending the match, has declared a state of emergency and closed France’s borders to stop the perpetrators from escaping.Panic, confusion after explosions heard near Paris football match Friday, November 13, 2015 – 01:01

Hammond: Syria talks will be “difficult”Friday, November 13, 2015 – 01:08On the eve of Syria talks, British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond offers cautious expectations of the outcome. Rough Cut (no reporter narration).
▲ Hide Transcript
ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION).
On the night before the second round of Syria talks, British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said the discussions on Saturday will likely focus on the fate of President Bashar al-Assad.
”This the second in what I imagine will be a series of talks. I don’t think we are going to complete the process tomorrow by any means, but the important thing is that everybody is around the table and talking, and that we now have a process underway. And of course there are a number of difficult issues of which the future of Bashar al-Assad is probably the most difficult and yes that will certainly remain as an important subject tomorrow,” Hammond told reporters outside the hotel where he had just finished meeting with Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shukri. Hammond said the UK and Egypt were working on a way to ensure British tourists come back to the resort after a Russian plane crashed after take off from the resort two weeks earlier.
”We want to get British tourists back to Sharm al-Sheikh as soon as possible. Business as usual with the tour operators being able to take the millions of Britons who want to visit Sharm al-Sheikh to the resort so the Egyptian hoteliers and people working in the tourist industry, who are looking forward to welcoming them, can do so as soon as possible. We had a good discussion about how to take forward the necessary steps to ensure that can happen as soon as possible,”
he added.
Foreign ministers were gathering in Vienna on Friday for a new round of talks in a bid to step up diplomatic efforts to end a four-year-old conflict in Syria. The meeting brings together 17 countries including officials from Iran, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Europe and three international bodies. It is a second round of negotiations between the world and regional powers with a stake in Syria’s war.Hammond: Syria talks will be “difficult”Friday, November 13, 2015 – 01:08

French President Francois Hollande stands near the Bataclan music hall in Paris, where gunmen killed nearly 100 people. (SOUNDBITE) (French) FRENCH PRESIDENT, FRANCOIS HOLLANDE, SAYING:
“I wanted to be here to measure the scale of this tragedy, this abomination committed in a number of places across the capital by savages who had a desire to kill, to kill the largest number of people possible.”
The victims were attending a rock concert, when the gunmen opened fire. Anti-terrorist commandos eventually launched an assault on the building, killing the attackers, and rescued dozens of survivors. (SOUNDBITE) (French) FRENCH PRESIDENT, FRANCOIS HOLLANDE, SAYING:
“We wanted to be there among those who saw these awful things, to say that we are going to fight, and that this fight will be merciless. Because when terrorists are capable of such atrocities they should know that they’ll be faced with a France that’s determined, a France that’s united, a France which stands together, a France which will not be intimidated, even if today we’re infinitely moved by this tragedy.”
Officials say some 40 other people were killed in up to five other attacks in the Paris region, in what’s being called an unprecedented terrorist attack. Hollande has declared a nationwide state of emergency and announced the closure of France’s borders to stop those behind the attack escaping.

The Magyars

The Magyars
The Magyars, a nomadic people, migrated from the Urals to the Northern Caucasus region around 460 CE. They remained there for roughly 400 years, until the advance of the Pechenegs forced them west into what is now Romania. They arrived in Hungary towards the end of the 9th century, displacing the resident Huns and Slavs. The Magyars currently comprise 92% of the Hungarian population; consequently, the words Magyar and Hungarian are used interchangeably. What is the origin of the latter term? More… Discuss
