Regarding last events ... MY PERSONAL OPINION

I am Not Charlie, I am M !
I am not lesbian but I don't accuse gays, I am not atheist but I don't offend those who are, I am not muslim, I am not hindu, but I have never insulted them, I am M and I respect human being as much as I respect nature.
I don't encourage extremism but I support gentleness !

"what you seek is seeking you'" - Rumi .... if you seek strife you will receive conflict, if you seek respect you will receive reverence ....if you seek harmony you will receive peace ....

This horrible manipulation about 'freedom', 'terrorism', 'respect' etc etc from those who like to rummage the shit then to pretend they have certain rights to expression or they even possess any guiltlessness, innocence.....It is absolutely deploarable !!!
In a world which lost its sense of beauty, of harmony, of gentleness, of humanity, of Even Spirituality, what can do else than to mock, to ridicule, to attack those who still have their own believes and traditions.
I don't support criminals but I also will Never support those who, in the false name of 'freedom of self-expression', get used to offend or assault others personality, identity, religions, customs and rules - just thinking they are better or worthy than the rest, they can do whatever they want without suffer any consequences is not a solution, is not freedom, is not justice, neither equality , neither fraternity.
In this rythm soon what is right will be accused of being wrong, what is bad will become good, black will turn into white, and darkness will be the only light we can see .....

In my culture there is a saying: "Respect the other one if you wanna be respected !" then -if we follow this simple and natural law - we will not have to judge one or another before judging ourselves.

Is unfair to atach the muslim picture to the word 'terrorism' - while none talks about the great culture they offered to the whole humanity, while none talks about 'intellectual terrorism' or 'financial terrorism' or ' fiscal terrorism' or 'artistic terrorism' practiced by those those who proclaim themselves 'The defenders of Justice, of Freedom' ....

This brotherhood with Charlie realy impressed my to tears ..... Yet, I would like to see ALL these people Screaming: Je suis Africa !!!: I am the child who die of starving because others cannot control their greed, I am the woman who lose the child because there are not hospitals, I am the man who is fooled by bank, I am another slave in this Contemporary 'Freedom' !

However - the Real Liberty is in our Soul !! when we will start to look inside us we will get closer and closer of true freedom.

"Why do you stay in prison when the door is so wide open?
Move outside the tangle of fear-thinking.
Live in silence ! " - Rumi

MY MANIFEST IS AGAINST ANY KIND OF INSULTS: I don't dispute any religious aspects, but the way we respect or not, ourselves. I've seen people who committed suicide because someone told they are not beautiful, they are stupids or unable for this or for that .....if it is a murder, a suicide or a death inside the soul (-is absolutely the same !!) ,,,just because some 'clevers' used their "right to expression" and manifested their 'freedom'.
Let's build and use our Freedom with Responsability ! and Love !

sorry, my dear friend, i can't agree with you.

the rules of the quran are made for the people who are believers of allah. one rule says, not to show any image of their prophet.
no religion can expect that other religions (or non-religious people) are following their special rules. also the christian religion (the bible) tells the christians not to create any image of their god. but they can't expect that non-christians are creating some !

i know muslims who were laughing about the danish cartoons some years ago, there are also muslims in france who are fans of charlie hebdo, only radical muslims organized violent demonstrations against the danish cartoons and there weren't any remarkable demonstrations against charlie hebdo.

i respect every peaceful religion, although i'm an atheist, but to kill people "in the name of..." is an absolute no-go !
how far must my respect be, how far yours ?
if some radical people forbid you to dance, to hear music, to be creative (especially when you're a woman),you let it be as a kind of respect for their religion ?
the terrorists of paris yesterday attacked not just the freedom of expression, the freedom of creativity, the freedom of arts, the freedom of thinking, they also attacked the islam itself

I know you opinion :) and thank you for taking time to express it.

I've expressed MY Opinion - I don't dispute.
I ONLY USE MY RIGHT TO SELF-EXPRESSION ! :)

PS: ...to kill people "in the name of..." is the same to kill people in the name of GREED or in the name of "Democracy" or in the name of "Equality" ....
Luckly for us God is not a Human but if he were human I am sure he would cry for BOTH parts of this scenary.

.t.a.o.n. replied to :

you've got your own opinion and you express it, that's your right (indeed !) and i don't have any problems that you use your right ! ;-)

it's called "communication" when we exchange opinions and talk about, exchange arguments...

it's a pity that you haven't answered my questions in my response to your statement... ;-)

My Awake Gottica (m.… replied to :

I responded in a different way but you didn't noticed ... moreover, sometimes we can respond (or talk) through silence more than with words ....
pitty ...:) ...maybe if you wrote my manifest attentively, maybe ! you wouldn't ask me that question ? ....
However, my statement only expresses my view about equality : I don't approve a criminal BUT I will not honor someone who didn't respect another one's indentity in a politely manner, I will not make him my hero - I have different and more beautiful examples to follow.
Respect must be as large as freedom - the more you respect yourself and others, the more you are closer of freedom. ..... In this respect I don't insult (about hurting someone identity: this can be either personality, family, nation or religion)

PS: But when you've asked me you should assumed that I have the right not answer ....:) my statement did not invite Anyone to dispute But also did not banned this. You can reply how many times you want I am Free to react as I consider necessary ------ YET , if you can feel offended by a veiled (or avoided) answer, How much offended should feel someone who is insulted ....

i noticed very well, dear m, but sometimes it's not bad to ask a second time... ;-)

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satire
satire must be respectless, otherwise it wouldn't be satire...

"je suis charlie" isn't a hero worship for me, it's a sign of solidarity with all people who defend free expression and free thinking. the cartoons of "charlie hepdo" are a matter of taste, but the journalists of the magazine weren't attacked and killed because of their taste, they were killed because some mad people are thinking that they are authorities who can tell all what they have to do and what they aren't allowed to do.
for me the "je suis charlie" campaign is a strong sign against these people who are the self-proclaimed mental leaders of the world. and yes, it's true: for those i don't have any respect, just as i have no respect for any assassins.

the muslims i know were laughing about the danish cartoons some years ago, or they ignored them. only these extremists, who try to kill all others who are different to them, are feeling attacked - by cartoons !
and exactely these extremists want to tell you and me what we have to think, what we have to do, which opinion we have to have...
what a luck that it's still possible to have different opinions ! ;-)

and i agree with you - we can't ignore the catastrophe in africa and all other catastrophes in the world, we are responsible for all what happens. i hope that "je suis charlie" is a begin to bring the people more together, solidarity worldwide may grow.
call me naive, but all begins at one point, never at all points together at the same time... in this sense "je suis charlie" is a momentous occasion, beyond this horrible attack in france.

Your words come from the bottom of my heart.

My Awake Gottica (m.… replied to Christina Sonnensche…:

I am glad to hear this.
Thank you Chris.

I don't think that last events will make people more aware about true human problems - I am a pesimistic in this regard and is Really a Shame that we could even think that need those kind of political scenario, only to look to people in need ...... if it were a True Empathy, it would happen before ...

.... about satire and all the rest subjects: I told what I had to tell ! I am not here to convert anyone to my believes, I only presented my view ! Is enough ! If you didn't understand my opinion is not a problem, it happen. Thank you for explaining yours !

don't be angy with me, please, just 2 thoughts, then i stop at this thread... ;-)

i'm the same pessimistic like you, but we saw in the "arabian spring" what can happen if "one event" becomes a movement... as long as i live i will never give up this minimal hope that one spark can fan the flame...
second: what, if others (f.e. the families of the victims) feel offended by your opinion, by your point of view, by your statement, if they have the feeling of respectlessness in face of the death of their family members ?

thank you very much for reading and partially answering my comments here, i hope, i haven't offended you in any way !
hugs

dear, if you did't understand Yet what Move the Crow and how react the masses, it seems you need some intro .... you can start with Gustave le Bon ....

Also ...you and your friends, please, take your time to Meditate to the Difference between a dictator and a saint man ..... only then you will be Able to Understand CORRECTLY My Statement.

Success !!!

PS: Answer to your question:
If they feel offended by my article when I didn't use ANY Insults, bad words or offensive images but having ONLY a different view, is Really a Problem, their ....
I can continue with: why before feeling free none think to consequences ? why freedom is not taken in a responsible way ? but am busy so forget my words, focus on you !

dear R (.t.a.o.n) ... am not angry at all ! I expressed what I had to day and that's all. If you want to come here and express your thougths you are free to do it .

I am busy with my job - I cannot stay here all the day for commenting everything is written here .... but you and your friends and certainly anyone wants , all are welcome to discuss and dispute. Sincerely, I don't have sooo much free time like you have.

However, I Don't Repeat Myself !!! I am ferm in my Believes and some wind from here or from there, will not change my mind. I have my supporters in Neutrality so I don't worry that I am misunderstood.
Yet ALL Your comments will increase vists to this article :) and to my site :)
Thank you & Good luck !!!

.t.a.o.n. replied to My Awake Gottica (m.…:

it's always a pleasure for me to increase the visits here ! ;-)
hugs

le bon is too elitist for my taste, i prefer weber... ;-)
i don't know any saint men... 8-)

ps: the same persons who are killing caricaturists, are killing people who are having "only a different view" (or not exactely the same believe), you may see this in syria/iraq...

if you don't know any sait men this doesn't mean that they did/do not exist ....

ps: it seems you understand hard - I don't support Killers , but I also do not support offensive language (especially from 'educated' persons)
