Closer Blogview: Nederlandse / Nederlandstalige blogs van moslims

Het is nogal een klus om alle interessante weblogs van moslims bij te houden, zelfs al beperk je je tot alleen Nederlandse en Nederlandstalige blogs. Ik heb daarom een nieuwe pagina Blogview toegevoegd aan Closer met daarop een overzicht van de belangrijkste Nederlandstalige en/of Nederlandse blogs en de meest recente entries van die weblogs. Op dit moment zijn er 18 weblogs opgenomen. De lijst met blogs zal de komende tijd uitgebreid worden en suggesties worden op prijs gesteld!

Lara, Ushi, Dushi en Piet: de versterking van racistische stereotypes

Hadden SBS (voorheen) en RTL (nu) geen zwarte en Japanse interviewster kunnen vinden die door zichzelf voor gek te zetten haar ‘tegenspeler’ voor gek zet? Nee Wendy van Dijk komt met Ushi en Lucretia. Het mag allemaal net wat moderner zijn dan de aloude blackface die vaak geschapen werd met houtskool (tegenwoordig supermoderne grime van het type In de ban van de ring), maar het blijft gaan om volksvermaak op basis van stereotypen die groepen mensen reduceert tot bepaalde uiterlijke kenmerken, soms zelfs zodanig dat het freaks worden.

A Festival of Dangerous Ideas

No progress without dangerous ideas. Ideas can be dangerous regardless whether they are true or not and they even can be dangerous just because they are considered to be true or because they are considered to be false. Ask Copernicus, Darwin, Hugo de Groot, Nelson Mandela and other great minds in history. There is something that attracts people to dangerous ideas although they might be scared of it too, or just because they are scared of it. Maybe that is one of the reasons the Sydney Opera House held a Festival of Dangerous ideas.
