Rey Fahd (con 0% de liberalidad)
Se ha muerto el Rey Fahd de Arabia Saudí.¡Qué dolor,qué pena!
Los saudíes llevan años gastando gran parte de los ingresos del país en exportar al resto del mundo la versión más rigurosa,reaccionaria,oscurantista y liberticida del Islam.
De esta manera,y con los deberes bien hechos como guardianes de La Meca, se pueden dedicar a derrochar el resto de la pasta en darse la gran vida.
Amigos,¡si el país lleva el nombre de la família reinante!
lo hacen porque pueden, porque el estado es su finca.
Y que tal son las cosas en casa del herrero,¿cuchillo de palo?
He estado leyendo un informe del departamento de Estado de Estados Unidos sobre la situación de la libertad religiosa en Arabia Saudí.
La frases que me han llamado más la atención son las siguientes:
*The Government does not provide legal protection for freedom of religion, and such protection does not exist in practice. Islam is the official religion, and the law requires that all citizens be Muslims. The Government prohibits the public practice of non-Muslim religions.
*The Government enforces a strictly conservative version of Sunni Islam. Muslims who do not adhere to the officially sanctioned Salafi (commonly called "Wahhabi") tradition can face severe repercussions at the hands of the Mutawwa'in (religious police).
*The Government continued to detain Shi'a leaders. Members of the Shi'a minority continued to face political and economic discrimination, including limited employment opportunities, little representation in official institutions, and restrictions on the practice of their faith and on the building of mosques and community centers.
*Consequently, the Government has declared the Koran and the Sunna (tradition) of Muhammad to be the country's Constitution. The Government follows the rigorously conservative and strict interpretation of the Salafi (often referred to as "Wahhabi") school of the Sunni branch of Islam and discriminates against other branches of Islam. Neither the Government nor society in general accepts the concept of separation of religion and state.
*According to the country's "Hanbali" interpretation of Shari'a, once fault is determined by a court, a Muslim male receives 100 percent of the amount of compensation determined, a male Jew or Christian receives 50 percent, and all others (including Hindus and Sikhs) receive 1/16 of the amount a male Muslim receives.
*Under Shari'a, conversion by a Muslim to another religion is considered apostasy, a crime punishable by death if the accused does not recant.
*The Ministry of Islamic Affairs sponsors approximately 50 so-called "Call and Guidance" centers employing approximately 500 persons to convert foreigners to Islam.
*Proselytizing by non-Muslims, including the distribution of non-Muslim religious materials such as Bibles, is illegal.
*The Government officially does not permit non-Muslim clergy to enter the country to conduct religious services
*Under the provisions of Shari'a law as practiced in the country, judges may discount the testimony of nonpracticing Muslims or of individuals who do not adhere to the official interpretation of Islam.
*The Government continued to detain and deport non-Muslims for religious reasons. In 2003, an Ethiopian Christian activist leader was deported after an employment dispute led to investigation of his religious activities.
*In certain areas, both the Mutawwa'in and religious vigilantes acting on their own harassed, assaulted, battered, arrested, and detained citizens and foreigners.
*Mutawwa'in reproached citizen and foreign women for failure to observe strict dress codes, and they detained men and women found together who were not married or closely related.
Y la mejor de todas:
*In February, the Grand Mufti restated a previously issued fatwa that declared Valentine's Day a "pagan Christian holiday" that could not be celebrated publicly. The Mutawwa'in banned shopkeepers from selling Valentine's Day gifts and decorations and forbade vendors from selling roses 5 days prior to and following February 14.
Estas son sólo unas cuantas "perlas".
Después oiré que la causa del terrorismo islámico es la pobreza,la globalización,Israel,la guerra de Irak,etc etc.
Pero para mí lo que provoca la violencia islamista es esta ideología del odio a los que son diferentes y de desprecio por el otro,de falta de tolerancia hacia otras maneras de ver la vida.
Ideología del odio que se extiende y en la que se adoctrina a demasiada gente como para seguir ignorándolo por más tiempo.
La próxima vez que se reunan para hablar de la Alianza de civilizaciones y de multiculturalismo, bien podríamos empezar exigiendo un poco de reciprocidad.
