  • Amr Khaled’s ‘Rafi Barakat’: a Superman that ‘Looks Like Us’ | Arabic Literature (in English)
    http://arablit.org/2015/01/24/amr-khaleds-rafi-barakat-a-superman-that-looks-like-us

    Grosse grosse campagne de pub pour le lancement du premier roman pour “jeunes adultes” écrit par le super préchi-prêcheur new age ’Amr Khaled.

    UNe sorte de Harry Potter à la sauce musulmane affirment certains. Mona Elnamoury voit les choses différemment :

    Rafi Barakat is modeled as more than a novel. Rafi is a star whose maker hopes to make him a role model for a younger generation. I would not be surprised to see the novel turn into a movie, a series, a cartoon, or to see souvenirs of Rafi everywhere. Whether you agree with Amr Khaled or not, Rafi Barakat could be his new project to preach to a promising generation that has not yet been severally defeated.

    Suite de la « découverte » de Abdelrahman Mansour, avec cette présentation dans Jadaliyya (où je retiens que le jeune homme a fait ses premiers pas dans les groupes d’action sociale (appelons-les comme ça !) de ’Amr Khaled et qu’il vient d’un milieu de militants Frères musulmans : preuve de la porosité des frontières politiques). A la fin une petite vidéo sous-titrée en anglais.

    Since the age of seventeen AbdelRahman Mansour has been involved in some of the most pioneering and popular Arabic new media initiatives of the times. He lives online and says, “For me, the internet, technology, is like water. It is part of anything I do in my life.” His first professional job in 2004 was working with the website and television show of the wildly popular televangelist, Amr Khaled. He then went on to be one of the founders of Wikileaks Arabic. At the same time he was an active blogger and a contributor to “Kulina Layla,” an annual feminist event. He also worked as an online reporter with Al-Jazeera and Al-Arabiya.
