RENCONTRE - ABNOUSSE SHALMANI

As part of Livre sur la Place, Nancy's Jewish community and ACJ 55 invite you to meet Abnousse Shalmani, who will present his book "Laïcité, j'écris ton nom".

"Today, we are reduced to defending freedom and secularism, to defending ourselves from being racist, colonialist or "Islamophobic". We universalists and humanists are guilty of considering all men to be equal, in the face of the new racists who defend birth as identity, skin color as personality, who excuse anti-Semitism when it emanates from the religion of the oppressed, and homophobia and misogyny when they are expressed by non-Western cultures.
Enough is enough! Let's be aware of the shameful mistakes of the past and proud of the humanist advances, but let's stop holding back our cry in the face of the horror of Islamism. Islamism kills atheist Muslims in Pakistan, Iranian students, Indonesian women, Nigerian Catholics, miscreants everywhere, Jews in the West as well as in Israel...
We can thank those who fight and die over there to defend what is no longer unanimously shared here, out of cowardice, fear or misplaced guilt. Let's live up to them. A.S.
