There will be a day when all
Looking up, we'll see a land
put freedom.
José Antonio Labordeta
So many times we have railed against Europe, against the first world, arrogant and unsupportive, decayed and old (not elderly). A world shaped by a set of imperfect democracies, party politics rather insolent and boring, if not corrupt. And yet, this first world has cost so imperfect, as Churchill said, blood, sweat and tears built. The struggles of the well-meaning, were always freedom, the leaders for power and money. But it was the foundation of freedom, and realizing, as Europeans have always aware of this fact the powerful bastard, were not, and I think that we are not willing to take a step back in the conquest of these freedoms, but Quite the contrary, desire is more.
In general, we want above all a freedom in which different religions occupy their rightful place, ie the privacy of individuals, the spirituality of those who feel and practice, whether polytheistic or monotheistic. And at the same time, we want those who feel no religion, do not practice, can live as indeed the case so far, the most absolute freedom to manage their issues, or conflicts if any, related to its ideals. This seems so elementary, I insist, has cost many lives, millions of lives.
every culture, every people has the right to claim their liberty as they please, or consider doing, and nobody can claim involvement in those events. If we in Europe have spent years fighting for the non-intervention in countries with other cultures, measures which, as we know, had and have, economic interests, and nothing but cheap, maybe we should continue along that line.
But since our dear liberals, and seudoprogres neoprogres, they see a puddle and pulling head, will be told to them and only them, you can not defend a thing and its opposite. I think. That is, can not defend a woman who will be stoned (there are hundreds of cases), or girls who are going to make ablation and women who have already made it (millions), and those that will be sold to older husbands, while shouting out and support the revolts in North Africa (tricky area, by the way), which are being supported by the Muslim Brotherhood and other fundamentalist. Our liberal, some very enlightened, they know that these groups demand freedom is based in a sacred books, the latest cases, dating from the eighth century.
I have not seen in these riots to women, except for some isolated and testimonials. Beware! that women sometimes leave them to sacrifice themselves surrounded with explosive belts. I have not seen anyone be one but I have not seen in these events manly claimed the status of women in the area.
could be that most women in those countries agreed with the living situation. Let them then please, because if not, could have rebelled already, and if that's not what they should say they want to live and we must help them, but really, supporting very different from other revolutions which are occurring.
The jodería that I would rather see my granddaughter, my daughters and grandchildren, living culture and society we have fought against for centuries.
