Les opinions de Zineb El Rhazoui sur les problèmes que posent les effets de la religion pour nos sociétés, sont très proches des miennes. A savoir que c’est l’interprétation et l’application de textes écrits et de superstitions de l’Islam en tant que doctrine politique qui posent problèmes. Pour l’ancienne journaliste à Charlie Hebdo, même un […]

Charlie’s Angel – Zineb El Rhazoui And The Fight Against Fundamentalist Islam

[perfectpullquote align=”full” bordertop=”false” cite=”” link=”” color=”” class=”” size=””]You have made your battle against racism not into a fight for universal human rights, to erase the differences between citizens of the same country, but into a petty struggle.[/perfectpullquote] Zineb El Rhazoui’s views on the problems that we face, concerning the effects of religion on society, […]
It’s So Moronic, It’s Gotta Be A Joke!!

The latest cartoon to be published by Charlie Hebdo follows the arrest of Peter Cherif, who is suspected of being behind the attack on the journal, in January 2015. The cartoon is one of the best Christmas presents that you could wish for. For all those who value freedom of speech and the right to […]
C’est Tellement Con, Que Ça Fait Rire!!

La une de Charlie Hebdo, du 26 décembre dernier, faisant suite à la mise en garde-à-vue de Peter Cherif, est le plus beau cadeau de Noël que l’on puisse souhaiter. Pour tous-ceux et toutes-celles qui cultivent de façon ardue un sens d’humour et une dérision de la vie que l’on pourrait qualifier de limite, le […]
You Get What You Pray For – Let’s Pray For A Good Brexit

Late last night, I had the impression that things were getting back to normal. It started to snow and as the clock struck one, the ground was covered by a white coat of untouched snow. Having read about the importance of snow in a recent issue of Nature Climate Change, I was glad that maybe […]
“Don’t Mention Religion, Mister Fawlty – They’re Nuns!”

Another day, another fracas because I have misunderstood religion and offended others. In suggesting that the subjective interpretation of the Holy Scriptures by men of faith who have a political agenda instead of a Holy Bible or Quran, I have been accused of “religion bashing?”, or words to that effect. Religion is untouchable, it seems – […]
Tunisian Women Divided Over Inheritance Law Reform

President Beji Caid Essebsi of Tunisia is proposing a radical change in the Islamic law on inheritance which, at present, is based on the Quran. According to the Islamic scriptures, men should inherit twice as much as women. Allah commands you regarding your children. For the male a share equivalent of two females – Quran […]
Between Good And God

The biggest problem that causes such a violent opposition between secularism and religion is, not so much in the moral values of the Holy Scripture – which, if not distorted, are much closer to our moral values than you might feel it safe to think – but the interpretation of their meaning, their politicisation by […]
Adam And Eve Fell In Love, and Humanity Showed Up

I have never shown much enthusiasm for the royal family, and the latest royal wedding was no exception. However, having not seen English royalty on television for such a long time, I decided to watch the royal wedding like you listen to background music, occasionally paying attention to the television set, whilst doing other things.

#MeToo For Atheists

The death of Stephen Hawking was, above all, a tragic loss for his immediate family and closest friends. The world of physics, and science in general, will also be much the poorer without him. Whereas none of us, common mortals, would be able to write a bestseller on the history of time, or come up […]
