▻http://angryarab.blogspot.com/2017/12/western-media-cover-up-of-repression.html
This has been one of the biggest propaganda stories in recent years in the Middle East. Just because the US government sponsored the Barzzani-Talbani tribal corrupt autocracy, and just because Israeli maintained relations with that traditional-feudal junta, Western media participated in one of the biggest schemes in media history. The story of Kurdistan was always surrounded with tons of claims of prosperity and freedom without attention to what is happening in those areas. Thomas Friedman and others would go and give a lecture at the American University of Sulaymaniyyah and comes back and tell readers how wonderful things are and that the son of Bargain (or the son of Talbani) is fluent in English. This picture is a scene of a protest in Sulaymaniyyah where people protested corruption and repression. Of course, stolen oil money paid for fancy lobbyists on K street in DC.

#Guterres said in the report to the U.N. Security Council circulated Friday that allegations of arms transfers to Hezbollah continue “on a regular basis,” which the U.N. takes seriously. But it “is not in a position to substantiate them independently , he said. Guterres said #Israel informed UNIFIL of the alleged presence of Hezbollah weapons and infrastructure in three specific locations in that zone, which the U.N. force closely monitored, including by aerial reconnaissance, satellite imagery and patrols. But he said” no evidence to confirm the allegations was established .” (thanks Basim)

Breaking silence, Lebanese PM’s brother backs resignation
▻http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/breaking-silence-lebanese-pms-brother-backs-resignation-51170615
Prime Minister Saad Hariri’s older brother broke his silence Wednesday over the premier’s mysterious resignation, saying he supports his brother’s decision to step down over the growing demands and actions of Hezbollah.
In a statement from Bahaa Hariri’s office sent to The Associated Press, he accuses Hezbollah of seeking “to take control of Lebanon.” He also expressed gratitude to Saudi Arabia for “decades of support” for Lebanon’s national institutions.

The Angry Arab News Service/وكالة أنباء العربي الغاضب: This is by far the most Islamophobic disgusting thing the #New_York_Times ever published: if a Muslim is accused of rape, what does this have to do with Islam?
▻http://angryarab.blogspot.com/2017/10/this-is-by-far-most-islamophobic.html
Look at this disgusting headline: “Could this be the Harvey Weinstein of Islam?” What does this have to do about Islam. Now we know that if an individual Muslim commits a terrorist act, his act is blamed on Islam, the religion. But now it got to the point that if an individual Muslim commits a crime of any kind, it will also be blamed on Islam, the religion? David Duke and other Nazi anti-Semites used the Harvey Weinstein scandal to spew their anti-Semitic trash. But the New York Times is doing the same. if someone were to relate the Harvey Weinstein scandal to Judaism it would be seen—and rightly so—as anti-Semitism and the Times would be outraged. But the Times with its long history of bigotry and racism against Arabs and Muslims, found no problem in publishing this headline? I don’t know the person in question and the crime of rape should be investigated but why relate it to 1) Harvey Weinstein? and 2) to Islam? This is a new low for the Times. So if an individual Muslim were to steal, the New York Times will publish a headline about “Theft in Islam”?

Je crois qu’il s’agit de son frère Hani Ramadan et pas Tariq Ramadan au moins pour la lapidation
En septembre 2002, il avait fait scandale en défendant dans une tribune publiée dans Le Monde l’application de la charia et la lapidation des femmes adultères.

Pour les mutilations génitales, je ne sais pas. Par ailleurs, j’ai
vu deux vidéos au moins dans lesquelles Tariq Ramadan estime que l’homosexualité est tout à fait anormale pour ne pas dire plus.
@reka Non il s’agit bien de Tariq Ramadan, TR a lancé un appel international à un moratoire sur les châtiments corporels, la lapidation et la peine de mort dans le monde musulman. Tariq Ramadan discutait avec Nicolas Sarkozy, ministre de l’intérieur à cette époque. Lorsque le ministre s’enquit de l’avis de Tariq Ramadan à propos de la lapidation des femmes dans l’islam, celui-ci répondit qu’il était favorable à un « moratoire. »

Début de la polémique.
▻https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EHUnGq6FB8
Il y a une vidéo de la réponse de TR...
"Tariq Ramadan se déclare musulman croyant et pratiquant. Partant, il donne un aspect divin au Coran et aux paroles de ceux qui se déclarent comme prophètes. Ceci est important à réaliser : un texte divin ne peut être réformé, modifier ou simplement annulé. En même temps, Tariq Ramadan s’oppose à la lapidation des femmes. Alors ?
Le seul choix qui s’offre à Tariq Ramadan est celui-ci : plutôt que de demander une annulation des lapidations (ce qui ne peut être fait par aucune autorité religieuse), il préfère y mettre un terme en les déclarant « inapplicables. » L’idée d’un moratoire permettrait de suspendre ces mesures d’un autre âge et de reconnaître que nos sociétés ne peuvent plus admettre ce type de justice.
Le moratoire pourrait être formulé de différentes façons, mais l’idée maîtresse serait d’admettre qu’il est actuellement impossible de lapider des femmes et que cette situation devrait changer lorsque les sociétés admettraient de nouveau de telles punitions.
En se prononçant pour un moratoire, les législateurs islamiques ne s’opposeraient pas de plein fouet avec leurs écritures saintes ; en même temps, ils mettraient fin à un des aspects les plus inhumains de la justice islamique.
J’ajoute que même si mon article fait référence seulement à la lapidation des femmes, Tariq Ramadan s’est opposé maintes fois aux punitions corporelles au nom de l’islam (voir vidéo ci-dessous). Sa position et ma conclusion peuvent donc s’appliquer au-delà des lapidations."

Merci cher @unagi pour avoir exhumé ces documents qui éclaire un peu ces positions. Il me semble que dans toutes les vidéos que j’ai vu, Tariq Ramadan adopte - pour l’essentiel de ces questions cruciales - une stratégie de contournement qui colle bien avec la position que tu signales. Lequel discours a largement de quoi nous mettre vraiment mal à l’aise, et particulièrement ce vendredi soir, après cette deuxième plainte contre TR pour viol.
A propos de l’extrait du texte de Lucas Martin que tu cites :
un texte divin ne peut être réformé, modifier ou simplement annulé.
Tariq Ramadan se déclare musulman croyant et pratiquant. Partant, il donne un aspect divin au Coran et aux paroles de ceux qui se déclarent comme prophètes. Ceci est important à réaliser : un texte divin ne peut être réformé, modifier ou simplement annulé.
En même temps, Tariq Ramadan s’oppose à la lapidation des femmes. Alors ?

Puisqu’il ne peut pas faire autrement, il contourne. Mais fondamentalement, le problème c’est quand même de ne « pas pouvoir réformer ou annuler » un texte divin. On peut changer la loi, mais pas les textes divins combien mêmes ils ne correspondent à aucune des exigences fondamentales du droit et de la justice. Si TR pense comme ça, c’est déjà très grave, ce qui serait plus humains serait de dire que les textes divins ne sont plus valables puisqu’ils violent la déclaration des droits humains par exemple.

Because the attention of Western correspondents in Beirut is focused on serving the propaganda of the Saudi-US-Israeli camp in the Middle East, and because they are allies of the March 14 in Lebanon, there is an unreported story about Lebanon and ISIS. As soon as ISIS emerged, March 14 figures supported ISIS and even publicly. This guy, is a major March 14 figure (and is now the man in charge of all media for the pro-Saudi Lebanese Forces) wrote in 2013. It says: “Is ISIS against the Syrian regime: Yes. Is ISIS against Iran? Yes. Is ISIS against Hizbollah? Yes. Therefore I am with ISIS”. This sentiment, by the way, was pretty much the sentiment of Western powers in the region.

If it does not fight ISIS and Al-Qaidah they say: there is an under-the-table agreement between them. If Hizbullah fights and defeats ISIS and Al-Qa`idah and expels all their fighters from Lebanon, the same chorus says: why didn’t Hizbullah kill and exterminate all the 1100 fighters?

From Eyal: "Yossi Werter, a chief political columnist for Ha’aretz, ridicules Yair Lapid for his argument in favor of the the Iraqi-Kurdish bid for secession. Lapid had stated it would be beneficial to have another Arabic state that’s friendly towards Israel. But, this ignorant and utilitarian racism of Lapid’s is not the issue here. Werter points out that a Kurdish state will not be an Arab state, since Kurds are not Arabs. But that also isn’t the issue. The point is Werter’s additional comment on Lapid’s conflation of Kurds with Arabs. Werter writes: “The Kurds hate the Arabs even more than the Jews hate the Arabs, and for the Kurds there is no greater insult than to be called an Arab.”"
