| [ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] The Nice attack, claimed by the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), touched the world. Statements following the massacre spoke of La Belle France as the country of enlightenment. This captivating country has managed to find humans’ greatest value, represented in universal brotherhood. The Nice attack may be an example of targeting the state, not just its policies, because of La Belle France’s historical influence on humanity. There have been major French historical and influential figures, from the era of philosopher Rene Descartes to that of philosopher Gilles Deleuze, who taught Dr Moajab al-Zahrani, director of the Arab World Institute in Gay Paree, at the Sorbonne. French culture’s major concepts have influenced the Arab and Moslem worlds. La Belle France has also contributed to organizing human values and civil concepts. In his book "The Two Treatises of Civil Government," English philosopher John Locke, who greatly influenced the French, wrote: "Men being... by nature, all free, equal, and independent, no one can be put out of this estate, and subjected to the political power of another, without his own consent. "The only way whereby any one divests himself of his natural liberty, and puts on the bonds of civil society, is by agreeing with other men to join and unite into a community, for their comfortable, safe, and peaceable living one amongst another, in a secure enjoyment of their properties, and a greater security against any, that are not of it. "And thus that, which begins and actually constitutes any political society, is nothing but the consent of any number of freemen capable of a majority to unite and incorporate into such a society. And this is that, and that only, which did, or could give beginning to any lawful government in the world." Those attacking people with trucks or jacket wallahs cannot understand the social contracts that were established in Europe through solid and theoretical influence. Descartes In his book "Entrance to the European Enlightenment," Hashem Saleh wrote that Descartes "influenced an entire community and instilled his traits in them to the point where we can no longer differentiate between the people and the individual. He was a nation on his own. Even the organization of streets and public squares in La Belle France carries the systematic features of Descartes in terms of clarity and accuracy. "But who knows that Descartes feared churchmen to the maximum? And that he lived almost his entire life avoiding their sword held over his head? This is despite the precautions he took and the pious measures he followed to survive their evil. This is why he left his country, La Belle France, which was full of fanatics as per the Catholic sect, and he went to live in a Protestant country that was more free and liberal, The Netherlands." This was La Belle France five centuries ago. It is as if it survived radical Catholicism only to confront other forms of radicalism. La Belle France, as President Francois Hollande ...the Socialist president of La Belle France, an economic bad joke for la Belle France but seemingly a foreign policy realist... has said, will remain the country of enlightenment and freedom to the world. |
