Raheel Raza donne des leçons sur la liberté à Tariq Ramadan et l’OIC à l’ONU. “I totally support freedom of expression even when it is against my faith”.
Voici la transcription de la courte communication de Madama Raza, le 16 septembre 2010
” I am a Canadian of Pakistani heritage and I would like to vocally rebut what the Honorable Ambassador has just said.
I have lived in the West for over 25 years. I don’t know where he has been living but I think (0:14) Muslims have more freedom in the West than they have ever had in many muslim land.
When you talk about inter-Faith dialogue, there is absolutely no intra-Faith dialogue going on between the muslim communities. And dialogue is a two-way street.
(L’ambassadeur du Pakistan sort de la salle) 0:25
Mr Ambassador, I am sorry, I am responding to what you said. It’s rather rude of you to get up and leave.
However I will say this for the rest of the audience here, that this is absolutely … 0:41 and freedom of speach is the most important human right we have and I totally support the freedom of expression even if it is against my faith.
When he speaks about Geert Wilders, Geert Wilders has the absolute freedom to say what he wants . He doesn’t affect me personally, and neither does he arm my faith.
0:57 The Western world were the first countries, eh!, the Canadian Prime Minister and the American are the first ones to condemn the burning of the Coran by the pastor Terry Jones.
1:06 I would never have the freedom to stand up and speak the way I do here in my own country of birth. So certainly when we are talking of equal treatment of Muslims in the West.
1: 16 And I would like also to comment, Professor Ramadan spoke at lenght about Western, western values, the western world. This is not a debate between muslims and the West and unfortunately that is what it comes down to. That is being divisible.
1: 27 We are speaking here about human rights that extend to all faiths.
1:32 So let’s get over this victim ideology that we are muslims and that we are being persucuted. And let’s talk about the freedom of everyone in the room here today and let’s get to the point of freedom of speach and freedom of religious expression.
Thank you.
