Het Marokkaans manifest
Het Marokkaanse Initiatief
V��r Sociale Cohesie en Burgerschap
T�gen Discriminatie en Marginalisatie

…is dinsdag gepresenteerd. De link hierboven leidt naar het manifest, maar staat ook hieronder. Ben benieuwd naar reacties…

Wij, Marokkaanse vrouwen, mannen, ouderen en jongeren, hebben met kracht onze afkeuring uitgesproken over de moord op Theo van Gogh, net zoals wij dat gedaan hebben na de moord op Pim Fortuyn. Wij hebben ondubbelzinnig afstand genomen van de gebeurtenissen die daar op volgden: aanvallen op scholen, kerken en moskee�n en het verdacht maken van bevolkingsgroepen. Wij willen dat deze cirkel van haat wordt doorbroken. Wij willen respect en tolerantie terug in de samenleving. Wij of onze ouders zijn hier gekomen als arbeidsmigrant. Als Marokkaanse gemeenschap hebben wij in de afgelopen decennia een belangrijke bijdrage geleverd aan de opbouw van Nederland. Samen met anderen hebben wij Nederland gemaakt tot wat het nu is, in economisch, sociaal en cultureel opzicht. Dit land is net zo goed van ons als van alle andere groepen die hier wonen, ongeacht hun etnische achtergrond of hun religieuze overtuiging.

Well yes, the Hadj is in full speed or something like that. Must be very impressive and probably gives people a boost in religiousness and a sense of belonging…

Daily Times – Site Edition
INSIGHT: Deconstruction � Derrida�s lasting legacy �Suroosh Irfani

With thanks to I d e a n t: Derrida and God.

Suroosh Irani’s very interesting article Deconstruction – Derrida’s lasting legacy. As Ideant correctly states:

The article succinctly summarizes the uses and abuses of deconstruction, but more importantly, gives us a glimpse into a man’s quest for understanding the Divine in his own terms, free from the indoctrination of religious as well as secular fanaticism and formulas.

More people should do that…
