France: Charlie Hebdo cover targets fanatics in attacks anniversary issue

January 4, 2016 By administrator

CX4XnGoWsAAaPAIFrench Satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo is preparing one million copies of a special edition to mark the anniversary of the deadly Islamist attack on its offices with a cover featuring a bearded man with a gun, representing God.

“One year on, the killer is still on the run”, reads the front page splash.

Charlie Hebdo, known for satirical covers lampooning Islam and other religions as well as politicians, lost many of its top editorial staff in the January 7 attacks when Islamist militants opened fire on journalists inside the newsroom.

The attack was claimed by al Qaeda’s branch in the Arabian Peninsula, known as AQAP. It followed a 2011 firebombing of its offices that forced the publication to move premises. Staff at the magazine had been under police protection since it published cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed in 2006.

A month before the attack, Charlie Hebdo was close to shutting down as sales had dipped below 30,000. Its brand of provocative, no-holds-barred humour appeared to have gone out of fashion.

Cartoonist Laurent Sourisseau, who took over the management of the weekly in the aftermath of the attack, also penned an angry editorial in defence of secularism. It denounces “fanatics brutalised by the Koran” as well as those from other religions who hoped for the death of the magazine for “daring to laugh at the religious”.

The three gunmen were themselves shot dead by security police during three days of violence which ended with a hostage-taking at a Jewish deli in which four hostages were also killed.

Russians outraged after Charlie Hebdo cartoons ‘ridicule’ Sinai plane crash

The front page of the new issue of satirical French weekly Charlie Hebdo entitled "C'est Reparti" ("Here we go again"),

The front page of the new issue of satirical French weekly Charlie Hebdo entitled “C’est Reparti” (“Here we go again”),

(RT) Russians have reacted with anger after the French satirical magazine published caricatures of the Russian passenger aircraft crashing in Egypt. Social media in Russia has erupted in fury at the portrayal, with users condemning its publication by Charlie Hebdo.

One Twitter user questioned why the staff at Charlie Hebdo had not printed a cartoon of the members of their team had been shot by jihadists in Paris in January. The user added sarcastically, “That would have been really funny for them.”

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov called the cartoons published by Charlie Hebdo “blasphemy.”

“In our country, this would be called ‘blasphemy.’ It has nothing to do with democracy or with self-expression. It is just blasphemy,” Peskov said.

“My colleagues and I tried to find caricatures of the Charlie Hebdo journalists in the magazine, who were shot by terrorists. We were unable to find them. But if they were published, then it would also be blasphemy, well at least in our country,” he added.

A Russian lawmaker called the cartoon, which shows the plane falling near a jihadist fighter, “blasphemy” and an “insult.”

“I believe it is blasphemy and ridicules the memory of those who lost their lives as a result of this catastrophe. This should not be used by any media organizations in any form whatsoever or in any particular genre in which they may specialize,” said Igor Morozov, a member of the Federation Council.

The first cartoon shows parts of the aircraft and a passenger falling toward the ground, while an Islamic State militant, armed with a gun, ducks for cover to avoid the falling debris. Underneath the caricature is the caption: “Daesh: Russia’s aviation intensifies its bombardments.”

Morozov said that the Sinai plane crash “should not be ridiculed.”

He added: “In trying to be original, Charlie Hebdo have plunged everything into shock. Remember the tragedy which happened in January 2015 concerning the publisher. I think that the journalists are provoking acts of violence.”

The second showed a skull and a burned-out plane on the ground, with the caption: “The dangers of low-cost Russia. I should have taken Air Cocaine.” The authors were referring to two French pilots who fled the Dominican Republic to escape arrest for allegedly trying to transport 680 kilograms of the drug.

Maria Zakharova, the spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry, wrote on her Facebook page: “Is anyone still Charlie?” in a reference to the catchphrase “JeSuisCharlie” used by many people to express sympathy with the victims of a brutal terrorist attack on Charlie Hebdo’s headquarters in Paris in January after it published satirical cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed.

Serbian film director Emir Kusturica told the Russian television station REN-TV that Charlie Hebdo’s latest publication was a “clear provocation.”

“I have not seen these caricatures yet, but this is really scary, if the journalists from this publication have published these sorts of things in a satirical way. I think that this is really a clear provocation.”

Davutoglu the hypocrite: for the Charlie Hebdo in Paris march & against Charlie Hebdo in Diyarbakır march?

January 25, 2015 By administrator

DİYARBAKIR – Doğan News Agency
Davutoglu-the- hypocritePrime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu has greeted around 100,000 people who protested French magazine Charlie Hebdo in Diyarbakır, while also cheering for Turkish Hizbullah.

“The region suddenly has a reaction whenever a shameless act happens toward the Prophet Muhammad. I greet each and every brother who defends the Prophet Muhammad here,” Davutoğlu said during his speech at the ruling Justice and Development Party’s (AKP) provincial congress in Diyarbakır.

The Lovers of the Prophet Platform organized a two-hour long Jan. 24 protest at the central İstasyon Square with the participation of thousands of demonstrators coming from nearby towns.

Most speeches, banners and slogans, either in Turkish, Kurdish or Arabic, targeted Charlie Hebdo for publishing Prophet Muhammad cartoons. In reference to the “Je Suis Charlie” slogan, some banners read “I am Hizbullah in Kurdistan,” “I am Hamas in Palestine,” “I am Malcolm X in America” and “I am Imam Shamil in Chechnya.”

“As long as you are the enemies of Allah, we will be your enemies,” Free Cause Party (Hüda-Par) chair Molla Osman Teyfur said in his speech, vowing to “cut the tongue that talked against the prophet.”

Hüda-Par shares the same supporter base with Turkey’s Hizbullah, whose members are predominately Kurdish Islamists. The group was allegedly created by the state in the 1990s to fight the Kurdish separatist movement. Hizbullah and sympathizers of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) have been engaging in clashes since the rise of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) last year.

Over 40 people were killed in 35 provinces on Oct. 6-7 during the worst unrest in the recent past, with most of those killed dying at the hands of Hizbullah supporters, who were allegedly backed by the security forces or the police.

Meanwhile, a group led by the Felicity Party (Saadet Partisi) marched in Ankara for the love of Prophet Muhammad and denounced terrorism on Jan. 25, according to state-run Anadolu Agency. Another group of around 300 people also marched in Eskişehir in protest of defamation against the Prophet Muhammad.

100 Thousand Kurds chant for Turkish Hizbullah in Charlie Hebdo protest in southeast Turkey

DİYARBAKIR

Kurds-demo-cartoonsAround 100,000 Kurds have protested the French magazine Charlie Hebdo in Diyarbakır, a Kurdish-majority city in Turkey’s southeast, cheering for Turkish Hizbullah.

The Lovers of the Prophet Platform organized the two-hour long Jan. 24 protest at the central İstasyon Square with the participation of thousands of demonstrators coming from nearby towns, Doğan News Agency reported.

Most speeches, banners and slogans, either in Turkish, Kurdish or Arabic, targeted Charlie Hebdo for publishing Prophet Muhammad cartoons. In reference to the “Je Suis…” slogan, some banners read “I am Hizbullah in Kurdistan,” “I am Hamas in Palestine,” “I am Malcolm X in America” and “I am Imam Shamil in Chechnya.”

“As long as you are the enemies of Allah, we will be your enemies,”  the Free Cause Party (Hüda Par) chair Molla Osman Teyfur said in his speech, vowing to “cut the tongue that talked against the Prophet.”

Hüda Par shares the same supporters base with Turkey’s Hizbullah, whose members are mostly Kurdish Islamists. The group was allegedly created by the state in the 1990s to fight the Kurdish movement.

Charlie Hebdo’s humor upsets Turkish Islamists

January 20, 2015 By administrator

By Pinar Tremblay,

A demonstrator holds a banner as others wave Turkish and Islamic flags during a protest against Cumhuriyet, a staunchly secular opposition newspaper, in IstanbulOn Jan. 11, when Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu marched alongside world leaders in Paris to honor the victims of the Charlie Hebdo attacks, back in Turkey, members of the Aczimendi religious order performed funereal prayers to honor the perpetrators of the attacks. Other religious groups tweeted public invitations to prayer sessions for the perpetrators. Referred to as the “Kouachi brothers,” these men were not terrorists in the eyes of several religious sects in Turkey.

Indeed, in the Justice and Development Party (AKP) municipality of Tatvan in Bitlis province, a billboard was posted, reading: “May peace be upon the Kouachi brothers who sought the revenge of the Prophet. When you [Western world] kill it is called democracy, when we seek revenge [it is called] terrorism.” Tatvan’s mayor told the media that individuals posted the sign without the knowledge of his office and it was promptly removed. Yet, it was enough to cause a stir on social media. One tweet read: “A manly statement from Tatvan. While some are fawning over the French [dogs], Tatvan is standing tall.” The tweet used #Parismarch as a hashtag, indicating the user’s disapproval of Davutoglu’s participation in the march.

It seems Davutoglu was not able to please any group in Turkey by attending the Paris solidarity march. AKP parliamentarian Burhan Kuzu tweeted: “Yesterday’s death toll was 2,000 in Nigeria, 83 in Iraq, 38 in Yemen, 26 in Syria, 16 in Afghanistan and 12 in France. But the whole world spoke only about the 12 in France.” A Twitter user gave a tongue-in-cheek reply: “Well, right, then why is Davutoglu not going to Nigeria but France?” Kuzu did not reply. Davutoglu’s attendance at the rally brought satire to a new level in Turkish social media. First, a short video appeared showing Davutoglu trying to make his way to the front row of the march, ever so gently pushing a woman. Then another video appeared, in which French President Francois Hollande greets several participants with kisses on both cheeks, but avoids kissing Davutoglu. Satire masters have dubbed the voice of a famous Turkish comedian over the clip, saying, “Me, me, now me! Why not me?” as Davutoglu waits in vain.

On the other side of the spectrum is the opposition to the AKP. Secularists among the opposition struggled to grapple with the reality that these religious orders and political entities — such as a Twitter account titled Jabhat al-Nusra in Turkish — could act so boldly in public in a country where freedom of expression is strictly regulated. One person tweeted the prayer announcement for the Kouachi brothers, adding: “These groups get the courage from [President Recep Tayyip] Erdogan, who told them ‘be offensive.'”

In the Eksisozluk social forum, contributors ridiculed how pro-AKP pundits — who initially argued that the Charlie Hebdo attack was an attack on Muslims in Europe to provoke global Islamophobia — were now defending the actions of the Kouachi brothers.

The debate as to why Davutoglu went to Paris was intense for the pro-AKP pundits. Almost a week after the decision to attend the march, AKP media were still trying to justify Davutoglu’s decision to appear alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu in a photo.

The opposition considered Davutoglu’s show of solidarity with the free world insincere, as well as good material for satire. Meanwhile, Charlie Hebdo published its first issue after the attack on Jan. 14. The issue was translated into Turkish and the left-leaning Cumhuriyet daily agreed to publish it. A small but determined group of individuals protested outside the newspaper’s office, promising revenge and chanting slogans like, “If you are Charlie, we are Kouachi” and “Kouachi brothers are our pride.” The newspaper’s editors and two of its seasoned journalists are being investigated for “provoking public sentiment.”

Davutoglu told the press: “You cannot argue press freedom if you are publishing material that almost screams come and attack me. We cannot equate freedom of press with insulting the people.” Promptly, access to websites that shared the Charlie Hebdo cartoons in Turkish were banned. Turkish Airlines announced that it would no longer carry Cumhuriyet daily at its lounges or on flights. As news spread of protests in front of Cumhuriyet and police raids on the newspaper’s printing house, Davutoglu said, in tacit support of such actions: “In this country, we don’t allow insults to the Prophet. This is a very clear, sharp and principled stance. Everybody should know this. This matter has also been explained to the press institutions.”

Social media reactions to the Turkish bans were strong. “If you [Davutoglu] were going to ban everything related to Charlie Hebdo magazine, why did you attend the Paris march? And you pushed the woman to make it to the front row!” ridiculed one user. The Turkish publication Zaytung News — similar to The Onion — published satirical commentary from Davutoglu: “Let there be no misunderstanding, I marched for freedom of expression in France! Free press in France cannot be silenced!”

Pro-AKP pundits and the party’s social media army worked diligently to maintain resistance in the face of the difficult events and the mockery of the opposition. Popular author Ali Cimen observed: “Aiming for a devout generation, your legacy [referring to Erdogan] will be a bunch of zombies with no brains using profane language.” Indeed, in an attempt to tackle the “Je suis Charlie” fervor, a pro-AKP troll @esatreis changed his profile photo to “Je suis Mohammad” and urged his followers to do the same. His passion taken a step too far, @esatreis faced harsh criticism and ridicule from devout Muslims, who said it was offensive to declare oneself the Prophet. Realizing there was no way out of this one, @esatreis deleted the logo and tweeted: “Thanks to those who warned that the ‘Je suis Mohammad’ slogan might be troublesome, let’s use this one ‘Je suis Muslim.'” There was nothing wrong with the hashtag “Je suis Muslim,” though it’s a French-English mismatch. The original French version, #JeSuisMusulman, has been trending since the first day of the attack.

“Islamists do not come in one shape, not even the most radical ones,” a Turkish academic told Al-Monitor. Raised in a secular family, growing up drinking raki and dating too many girls, the academic went through a transformation about three decades ago. “The most difficult part is not giving up alcohol, or partying. The most difficult part of being a devout Muslim in Turkey is that the people look at you and see a killjoy. And it is a challenge to even talk about fun in the midst of so much anger and despair among Muslims.”

For days leading up to the Jan. 14 publication of the latest Charlie Hebdo, pro-AKP figures in Turkey were almost on the defensive. All their attempts to justify the killings were tackled with a deep black humor of the opposition camp. However, once Cumhuriyet printed a few of the Charlie Hebdo cartoons, the tide reversed. It now seems that many of the radicalized sections of Turkey’s Islamist crowd are seeking revenge. Unfortunately, threats of violence — to the extent of publishing journalists’ home addresses — is the only way these groups know how to tackle opposition.

Islamists clash with Charlie supporters at Turkish university

January 19, 2015 By administrator

n_77145_1A group of Islamists at Ankara University have clashed with another group of students who were commemorating both the victims of the Charlie Hebdo attack and the Turkish-Armenian journalist Hrant Dink, who was killed eight years ago.

Both groups gathered at Ankara University’s Cebeci campus on Jan. 19. According to the Doğan News Agency, stones and bottles were thrown after one of the groups attempted to release a press statement in favor of the Charlie Hebdo victims and Dink.

Police dispersed the groups by using tear gas.

The students, who had announced the Jan. 19 demonstration earlier through Ankara University’s Facebook page, were threatened by Islamist students on the same platform. Referring to the students who had pinned posters that said “Je Suis Charlie” and “We Are All Hrant,” an Islamist student had written on Facebook that the campus “would see unprecedented violence” if the posters were not taken down.

Thousands of people commemorated Hrant Dink in Istanbul on Jan. 19, the eighth anniversary of his killing.

Turkish Press 4 pages of Charlie in Cumhuriyet

January 14, 2015 By administrator

DSC00559-480x473-480x473The opposition daily to the AKP, Cumhuriyet, published today 4 pages in Turkish version of the latest issue of the satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo.

The original writing was to publish the whole in an integrated central section to the newspaper. It was only after she has auto-censored and endorsement of an attorney that authorization has been given.

The editor Utku Cakirözer said “preparing this publication in respect for religious sensibilities of society and religious freedom.”

The Charlie Hebdo editor justifies this partnership, saying, “If there was a media with which I wanted to work, it was that one, because Turkey is having problems and secularism is attacked. “

Several ministers at the time of the Erdogan government had denounced the “provocation” by Charlie. One of them had even called a “rag”. It is in these circumstances that the Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu came to Paris show empathy and compassion for the victims of Charlie Hebdo …

Post-attack Charlie Hebdo cover uses prophet cartoon

January 13, 2015 By administrator

Charlie Hebdo coverThe French satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo will publish a cartoon of the Prophet Mohammed along with the words “All is forgiven” Wednesday on the cover of its first issue since Islamist militants killed 12 people at its central Paris offices.

In a further show of defiance, the fearless magazine announced it would print three million copies – not the usual 60,000 – when it reappears on newsstands on Wednesday.

It will also be translated into six languages including English, Arabic and Turkish, editor-in-chief Gérard Biard told a Paris news conference Tuesday.

Daily newspaper Libération, which hosted Charlie Hebdo staff as they prepared the new issue, published the Charlie Hebdo cover online late Monday night. Further details about the magazine’s inside content have emerged since.

The cartoon on the front cover shows a bearded man in a white turban with a tear streaming down his cheek, and holding a sign reading “Je suis Charlie” (“I am Charlie”). Overhead was the phrase: “Tout est Pardonné” (“All is Forgiven”).

Zineb El Rhazoui, a journalist with the newspaper, said the cover meant that the journalists had forgiven the extremists for the killings.

Renald Luzier, the cartoonist who drew the cover image and who is known by his pen name “Luz,” said it represents “just a little guy who’s crying.” Then he added, unapologetically, “Yes, it is Mohammed.”

Defence of secularism

Speaking at Tuesday’s press conference, where he repeatedly broke down in tears, he described weeping after he drew the picture.

“I had this idea in my head but it was not enough to make the cover,” he said.

“All I had was this idea of drawing Mohammed and ‘Je suis Charlie’…. I looked at him, and he was crying. Above him I wrote ‘all is forgiven’ and then I cried.”

The issue maintains the irreverent, often offensive attitude Charlie Hebdo is known for in France.

The first two pages feature drawings by the slain cartoonists. One shows a much-loved late French nun talking about oral sex. Another shows a Muslim, Christian and Jewish leader carving up the world.

The lead editorial lays out a vigorous defence of secularism, of the right to lampoon religions and religious leaders and hold them accountable – and ends with a critique of the pope.

“For the past week, Charlie, an atheist newspaper, has achieved more miracles than all the saints and prophets combined. The one we are most proud of is that you have in your hands the magazine that we always made,” it read.

It also heartily thanked the millions around the world who have supported it.

Only the French, Italian and Turkish versions will go into print, the other three – English, Spanish and Arabic – will be offered in electronic form, Biard said.

Muslim leaders appeal for calm

Charlie Hebdo’s past caricatures of the Muslim prophet appear to have prompted last week’s attacks, part of the worst terrorist rampage in France in decades.

Some witnesses reported that the attackers at the paper’s offices shouted “We have avenged the prophet.” Some Muslims believe all images of the prophet are blasphemous.

Earlier Monday, Charlie Hebdo lawyer Richard Malka told French radio that the new issue would “obviously” feature cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed.

The front cover has already drawn mixed reactions from Muslims in France and overseas.

Egypt’s state-sponsored Islamic authority, Dar al-Ifta, quickly denounced it as “an unjustified provocation against the feelings of 1.5 billion Muslims”.

The rector of Paris’s mosque, Dalil Boubakeur, however, urged France’s Muslims “to remain calm” over the cover “by avoiding emotional reactions… and respecting freedom of opinion”.

The head of a big mosque in central eastern Paris, Hammad Hammami, took a similar stand. “We don’t want to throw oil on the fire,” he said. “We consider these caricatures to be acceptable. They are not degrading for the prophet”.

A total of 17 people died in last week’s attacks. Brothers Chérif and Said Kouachi and their friend, Amédy Coulibaly, were killed Friday by police after the murderous spree at the Charlie Hebdo offices and a kosher supermarket in the southeast of the capital. The three all claimed ties to Islamic extremists in the Middle East.

French police said Monday that as many as six members of a terrorist cell involved in the attacks may still be at large.

France saw its biggest demonstrations in history Sunday as millions turned out to show unity and defend freedom of expression.

THOUSAND YEARS IN THIS COUNTRY (Turkey) ANCIENT PEOPLES CHARLİE HEBDO

 THE territory OF ancient peoples for years, IS Charlie HEBDO last week in the heart of Paris, Radical Islamist death machines humor magazine Charlie Hebdo 12 contact person hard skin remover. And that’s what it has become after he was. In France, Social media were immediately followed by the “real Islam” rhetoric is not the agenda did not drop at all. Now, as everyone knows Charlie Hebdo only with Islam, not Christianity in a quarterly magazine wave can be transferred. Islamic prophet Muhammad, and of Jesus Christ and his mother Mary was a comic strip that may go well with the magazine, the eye according to death came to the. a central figure in a inanclarımızla overlap resulting in damage to the confession. Because zalimliktir murder. Unfortunately, it’s city of love, Paris city of angles which are turned into now. Also in Paris, January 9, 2013, the three women politicians and lifeless, sprouted from the rigidly establishes, in the international agreements that the Kurdish people and the right to free and democratic future after an attack in a full 2-year has passed. France killers Full two years, did not come to protect killers is in progress. Three young plant and Charlie Hebdo massacre perpetrators, is found at the top and try to France is easy to clear or easy. France, Europe, Charlie Hebdo meant to be up for sake of Islamic cografyalarındaki imperialist interests without ignoring that it is from an ancient Christians and Kurds Alevileri, maybe a little better now understands and I hope it serves as a. for sake of imperialist interests just like newly reconstructed houses remain unoccupied monsters September 11, this time in France, has hit.

Especially in the last 4 years, hundreds of thousands of Ezidi flame, Syriac, Armenian, Kurdish, were killed, on the right-hand rest has been banished. Internally Displaced Persons in camps, tents edilenlerde difficult winter conditions in fighting for his life. I’m wondering, France and Europe, why don’t the people in the east of the big crime against humanity as millions did not go out? .However in France, Charlie Hebdo, and non-Islamic Middle east nations and still in the same terordu hit. Look at their own yummayan got involved in genocide in Europe, the middle east; the work against Christians since 1915 when all three monkey play. An ancient Christian communities and to see Alevilerin angles is so very far away, there’s no need to go out to dates though.

BU TOPRAKLARDA KADİM HALKLAR BİN YILLARDIR CHARLİE HEBDO’ DUR
Geçen hafta Paris’in göbeğinde Radikal İslamcı ölüm makineleri Charlie Hebdo mizah dergisi şahsında 12 kişiyi katletti. İşte ne olduysa ondan sonra oldu. Sosyal medya’da Fransa katliamının hemen ardından ”gerçek İslam bu değil” söylemleri gündemden hiç düşmedi. Hemen herkesin bildiği gibi Charlie Hebdo sadece İslam’la değil, Hıristiyanlıkla da dalga geçebilen bir dergidir. İslam peygamberi Muhammet’i ve İsa Mesih’in annesi Meryem Anayı da karikatürize eden bu dergiye ölüm, göz göre göre geldi. İnançlarımızla örtüşmeyen bir insanı katletmek sonuçta o inanca zarar verir. Çünkü katletmek zalimliktir. Ne yazık ki aşkların şehri Paris, şimdi acıların kentine dönüştü. Yine Paris’te 9 Ocak 2013’de katledilen üç kadın siyasetçi Sakine Cansız, Fidan Doğan, Leyla Şaşmaz’ın uluslararası sözleşmelerle güvence altına alınan yaşam hakkına ve Kürt halkının özgür ve demokratik geleceğine yapılan saldırının ardından tam 2 yıl geçti. Tam iki yıldır Fransa katilleri bulmadı, katilleri korumaya devam ediyor. Üç fidan ve Charlie Hebdo katliamının, failleri bulununcaya ve yargılanıncaya kadar Fransa üstündeki kanı kolay kolay temizleyemez.
Fransa ve Avrupa, Charlie Hebdo olayıyla karşılaşıncaya kadar İslam coğrafyalarındaki emperyalist çıkarlar uğruna görmemezlikten geldiği kadim Hıristiyanları, Alevileri ve Kürtleri belki şimdi biraz daha iyi anlar ve görür umarım. Emperyalist çıkarları uğruna besledikleri canavarlar tıpkı 11 Eylül gibi bu kez de Fransa’yı vurdu.
İslam coğrafyalarında 1915 bitmedi, sürüyor. Özellikle son 4 yıldır yüz binlerce Ezidi, Alevi, Süryani, Ermeni, Kürt katledildi, sağ kalanlar ise sürgün edildi. Sürgün edilenlerde kamplarda, çadırlarda çetin kış koşulları karşısında yaşam mücadelesi veriyor. Merak ediyorum, Fransa ve Avrupa’da niye insanlar orta doğuda yaşanan büyük insanlık suçuna karşı milyonlar olarak sokağa çıkmadı? .Oysaki Fransa’da Charlie Hebdo’nu ve Orta doğudaki İslam olmayan halkları vuran yine aynı terördü. Kendi adreslerinde katliama göz yummayan Avrupa; iş, orta doğudaki Hıristiyanlara gelince 1915’den beri hep üç maymunu oynuyorlar.
Kadim Hıristiyan halkların ve Alevilerin acılarını görmek için öyle çok uzak tarihlere gitmeye de gerek yok hani. 2014 Haziranının da Musul/ Ninova’da Süryanilerle başlayan İŞİD terörü, kısa sürede Ezidilere, Alevilere, Ermenilere ve Kürtlere kadar uzanmıştı. Bu gün Kürt halkı Kobane’de, hala İŞİD’e karşı direniş sergiliyor. Suriye/ Kesseb’de ise yine aynı tarihlerde Ermeniler Kezzap gibi İslam ateşiyle yanıyor. Orta doğu ve İslam coğrafyalarında bin yıllardır Sünni İslam olmayan halklar ve inançlar  yok ediliyor. Irak’ta, Suriye’de, Türkiye’de, Nijerya’da yananlar ve yakanlar bellidir. Geçtiğimiz hafta Paris saldırısında hemen hemen aynı zamana denk düşen günlerde Bako Haram cihatçı bir örgüt Nijerya da 2000 Hrıstiyanı yakmıştır. Gerçek İslam bu değil diyenler, Sivas’ta 37 canı, Nijerya’da 2000 insanı yakanlar kimler peki? Tıpkı Türkiye gibi Nijerya lideri Goodluck Jonathan’da Paris’teki Charlie Hebdo saldırısını kınarken kendi ülkesindeki katliamlara ve basın özgürlüğüne sessiz kalmıştır.
Ninova- Şengal ve Kobane’de İŞİD katliamlarından sonra ordular kurmaya çalışan Süryaniler ve Ermeniler başka türlü kurtuluşun olmadığını gördüklerinden olsa gerek yaklaşık 500 kadar Süryani Peşmergeye, 1000 kadarı da YPG-HPG güçlerine katılmıştır. Bu öz savunma – güven, yerinde yönetim, kendini koruma açısından olması gerekendir. Peşmerge ve HPG- YPG’ye katılan Süryanilerle ilgili İsveç’te yaşayan Augin Kurt adlı TV yapımcısı dostum;
‘’Pesmergeye katılan Süryaniler, hem isim olarak hem askeri güç olarak Asurî Demokratik Hareketine(ADH) karsı bir oyun olabilir. ADH, Bağdat Merkez hükümeti ile is birliği yapınca, bir kısım Süryaniler de Barzani yönetimiyle is birliği içine girmiştir. Birleşmemizi bırakın, halkımızı  ikiye bölüyorlar. Bundan Kim faydalanır? Bizi Hıristiyan Kürt yapmak isteyenlerin oyununa geliyoruz’’ sözleri ise yaşadıkları acı tecrübelerden olsa gerek. Bu soruların kesin bir cevabı olmadığı sürece bu halklar 1915 soykırımdan sonra birde Hıristiyan Kürt olma tehlikesi ile de karşı karşıya kalmayacaklarının garantisini kim verecek?
Tamda bu noktada Sayın Öcalan’ın İmranlı’dan gönderdiği Asurî-Süryani-Keldani halkına mektup, Süryani halkına ne kadar cevap olur bilemiyorum.
”Öcalan, Özgür Yaşam temelinde gelişecek olan bu dirilişin Merkezi Uygarlık ve Kapitalist Modernite’nin aşılması, Demokratik Uygarlık ve Demokratik Modernite ekseninde gelişecek bir dönüşüm süreci ile mümkün olabileceğinin açık olduğunu kaydetti. Öcalan mesajında bu şu değerlendirmelere yer verdi. Bu kapsamda sahip olunan büyük tarihsel ve kültürel birikimin aynı coğrafyayı paylaşan kardeş halklarla birlikte Demokratik Ulus inşasında yerini alması ve ihtiyaç duyulan katkıyı sunması son derece önemlidir” vurgusunda bulunan Öcalan, yani Asurî-Süryani-Keldani Demokratik Ulusu olarak oynanacak tarihi rolün tüm Orta doğu hatta tüm insanlık için Demokratik Uygarlık kurtuluşuna eşsiz katkılar sağlayacağını kaydetti. Bu yönüyle dünyanın dört bir tarafına dağılmış olan Asurî-Süryani-Keldani halkının kendi kadim topraklarında Ortak Vatan-Demokratik Ulus temelli inşa süreçlerine katılmaları, bu doğrultuda büyük yoğunlaşmalara ortak olmaları son derece önemlidir. Nitekim Deştêd Ninve (Ninova Ovası)’de öz savunma-öz yönetim’den yoksun olan Asurî-Süryani-Keldani halkının, son saldırılarla karşı karşıya kaldığı katliam tehlikesi ve bunun sonucunda ortaya çıkan ağır trajik tablo da bu konudaki ihtiyacın hayatiyetini gözler önüne sermektedir.”demiştir.
Süryaniler, Ermeniler, Ezidiler ve Aleviler Orta doğu ve İslam coğrafyalarında her katliamda ilk önce vurulan halklar ve inançlardır.1400 yıldır Radikal İslam terörü, Mezopotamya ve Orta doğuda Alevi’yi vurduğundan yüreğimin Alevi tarafı, Ermeni’yi, vurduğunda Ermeni tarafı ,
Süryani’yi vurduğunda Süryani tarafı, Ezidi’yi vurduğunda Ezidi tarafı, Roman’ı vurduğunda Roman tarafı, Kürt’ü vurduğunda Kürt tarafı, Rum’u vurduğunda Rum tarafı, LBGT’’lileri vurduğunda LBGT tarafım acır hep… Benim sol yanım hep bu yüzden acıyor…
Hangi din öldürmeyi emrediyorsa ben o dinden değilim… Müslüman olmak; kelle kesmek, adam öldürmek, ufacık çocuklara tecavüz etmekse ben Müslüman değilim… Hayatım boyunca bir tek şeye inandım ve kutsadım. O’ da dünyaya gelen her canlının, yaşam hakkının kutsallığına…
Yıllardır yazılarımda hep yazarım ” nerede ezilen bir din ve inanç varsa ben o’yum” diye.
Bu gün bunu haykırarak söylemek istiyorum. Ülkemde Hrıstiyanım, Ezidiyim, Yahudi’yim, Aleviyim ve Ateistim. Burma ve Avrupa’da bir Müslüman.
Radikal İslami terörü; Fransa’da evrensel bir karikatür dergisinin editörü Charlie Ebdo şahsında 12 kişiyi katlettikleri yetmemiş olsa gerek 2-3 gün evvelde Halep’te Ermeni Kilisesini bombalayarak enkaz haline getirdiler. (http://www.demokrathaber.net/…/halepteki-ermeni-kilisesine-…)
Fransa’daki katilleri destekleyen anlayışların uzantıları ise ülkemizde İstanbul/ Kurtuluş’taki Ermeni Kilisesini bombaladılar. (haberin detayınıhttp://nadirhaber.com/haber/kurtulusta-bomba-panigi/1174/ ).
Bu saldırılar bir camiye yapılsaydı ne yapardınız? İslam bu değil diyen gerçek İslamcılara sormak gerek. Hatırlarsanız Gezi direnişinde İstanbul’daki direnişçiler için camide bira içiliyor diye İslamcı basın nasılda feveran ediyordu? Kendi kutsalımıza saygı ötekinin kutsalına saygıdan geçer.
Ey kendini gerçek İslamcı diye niteleyenler !!! 
Fransa’da, Suriye’de, Irak’ta, Nijerya’da insanlar hep radikal İslamcılar tarafından katlediliyor bu teröre karşı bir tavır alıp gerçek İslami gösterin de dünya görsün!. Tüm bunları sözde din elden gidiyor diye ( tıpkı 1915’deki gibi sokaklara dökülür insan keserdiniz) yapıyorsunuz. İnandığınız tanrılar adına sizler her gün nasıl ölüm kusan bir makineye dönüştünüz.
Irak-Musul- Ninova’dan Haziran 2014’de İŞİD katliamından sürgün edilen 250 bin Süryani bu gün hala zor koşullar altında yaşamak için direniyor. Tıpkı Ezidiler gibi Çadırlarda, kilise salonlarında, kamplarda, kar-kışta hep ama hep 1915’i yaşıyorlar. Yağmurda, çamurda çıplak ayakla yaşayan Süryani çocuklarına; kışın tüm acımasızlığı ile kendini hissettirdiği bu gün ayrım yapmaksızın insan elimizi, uzattığımız kadar insanız. 
Zor günlerden geçen Süryani halkı, Ninova, Erbil, Duhok’ta gözlerimizin önünde ölüme yolculuk ediyor. Türkiye’den bu güne kadar Süryanilere, yardım eden bir Allahın kulu, Devrimci örgüt, parti, demokratik ve Yurtsever kurum vs. henüz yok… Onlar Orta doğulu Hıristiyan diye midir acılarını görmüyorsunuz?
Süryani halkının acılarının bu ülkede görünür kılınması için, acılar hangi dilde anlatılır? Yâda acının bir rengi var mıdır bilmiyorum. Burada acıları da yarıştırmıyorum.
Peki ya Sizler! Sıcacık evlerinizde yaşarken Süryanilerin, Ermenilerin, Alevilerin, Ezidilerin, Kürtlerin acılarını duyan, bilen var mı? …
Hangi dilde duyacaksanız o dilde seslenmek istiyorum. Oysaki Süryani halkının bu dönemde yaşadığı acılar, Ezidi ve Kürt halkının yaşadığı acılarından hiçte farklı değildir.
Süryani halkına karşı yapılan zulme karşı çıkmak ve yardım etmek için, illa da belli bir ırka, dine veya dünya görüşüne mensup olmak gerekmiyor. İnsan olmak yeterlidir.
Bu topraklarda yüzyıllardır büyük acılar yaşanıyor… Sırf siz sessiz kaldığınız için bu halklar sürekli katliam yaşıyor. 

Bu ülkede sizler Şengal- Kobane ve Ninova deyinceye kadar ben yazmaya devam edeceğim.
Özgürlük mücadelesi savunucusu BDP- HDP HDK- DTK’dan, sürgünde yaşayan Süryani halkına, yardım edilmesi konusunda ısrarla ve inatla duyarlılık bekliyorum.

European press criticizes Turkish PM’s Davutoğlu presence at Hebdo march

January 12, 2015 By administrator

202013_newsdetail-1Several prominent columnists from major European newspapers have criticized the presence of Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu at a march, commemorating those killed during last week’s attack at the satirical French magazine Charlie Hebdo on Jan. 7, citing Turkey’s worsening track record in terms of press freedom.

John Lichfield, a columnist for The Independent, wrote in an article on Sunday that, “the presence of leaders of countries known for repressing freedom of speech caused consternation among left-wing commentators and human rights groups in France.”

Lichfield stated that Turkey came 154th out of 179 countries in the Reporters Without Borders Press Freedom Index 2014, coming behind Russia, Gabon and Hungary, pointing out that the government in Turkey has recently engaged in a sweeping campaign of arrests of critical and independent-minded journalists.

The article, titled: “Paris march: Political divide exposed as politicians who repress freedom of speech join rally,” spoke about Prime Minister Davutoğlu as well as Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban and President Ali Bongo of Gabon as leaders deemed to repress freedom of speech and media independence in their countries.

Le Monde’s Renterghem: Why not Assad?

Another article critical of Davutoğlu’s visit to the Charlie Hebdo demonstration, in the French daily Le Monde, also listed the Turkish prime minister as one of the leaders of the states it considered to be doing very badly in terms of media freedoms and freedom of speech.

The article in Le Monde stated that President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan recently came under the spotlight for a massive wave of arrests against media which are in opposition to his government, citing the operations made against the Zaman daily and the Samanyolu Broadcasting group.

Le Monde reporter Marion Van Renterghem took to her social media account to criticize the leadership turnout at the march by writing: “Netanyahu, Lavrov, Orban, Davutoğlu, Bongo at the press freedom demo. Why not Bashar al-Assad?”

Guardian: Turkey is harsh environments for journalists

Mark Tran, from the UK newspaper The Guardian, also wrote of the Turkish prime minister’s visit to the march in solidarity with the French people and in remembrance of the Charlie Hebdo attack victims.

Tran’s article on Sunday, titled, “Presence at Paris rally of leaders with poor free press records is condemned,” also underlines that Reporters Without Borders singles out the leaders of Egypt, Russia, Turkey, Algeria and the United Arab Emirates “as being responsible for a particularly harsh environments for journalists.”

The article in the Guardian, states; “Nearly 70 journalists are being prosecuted in Turkey for referring to corruption allegations against close associates of the former Prime Minister, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, who is now the president.”

French news outlet France 24 also commented on the turnout of the leaders at the protest again citing the Press Freedom Index. The headline of the category examining Turkey was; “Turkey – PFI Ranking: 148. Represented by Ahmet Davutoğlu, Prime Minister”, highlights the country’s poor PFI score.

“Turkey has also imprisoned newspaper editors for their alleged links with Fethullah Gülen, an influential Muslim cleric currently the subject of an arrest warrant after being accused of plotting to overthrow the Turkish government.” read the article written by Alexandre Capron.
