فابيوس: تشديد التدابير الامنية حول السفارات الفرنسية اثر نشر رسوما كاريكاتورية للنبي محمد

Read this story in English W460

اعلن وزير الخارجية الفرنسي لوران فابيوس في تصريح لاذاعة "فرانس انفو" الاربعاء ان فرنسا اتخذت "احتياطات امنية خاصة" لحماية سفاراتها في العالم بعد نشر رسوم كاريكاتورية مسيئة للنبي محمد في مجلة فرنسية ساخرة.

وقال فابيوس "ارسلت تعليمات لاتخاذ احتياطات امنية خاصة في كل البلدان التي يمكن ان تحصل فيها مشاكل".

واعتبر فابيوس ان نشر مجلة "شارلي ايبدو" الاسبوعية الساخرة رسوما كاريكاتورية مسيئة للنبي محمد في "الوضع الراهن" يصب "الزيت على النار".

واضاف "في فرنسا، المبدأ هو حرية التعبير ويجب عدم المس به. ونظرا الى الوضع الآن وهذا الفيلم السخيف، وشريط الفيديو العبثي الذي تم بثه، ثمة غضب في كثير من البلدان الاسلامية. هل من الملائم صب الزيت على النار؟ الجواب هو كلا".

وقال فابيوس "من الضروري ايجاد توازن".

بدوره اعلن رئيس الوزراء الفرنسي جان مارك آيرولت الاربعاء انه سيتم حظر تظاهرة دعي اليها السبت المقبل في باريس احتجاجا على الفيلم المسيء للاسلام، مذكرا من صدمهم نشر رسوم كاريكاتورية للنبي محمد في مجلة فرنسية هزلية ان بامكانهم اللجوء للقضاء.

وقال آيرولت متحدثا لاذاعة "ار تي ال" انه "تم تقديم تصريح عن تظاهرة، وهذا التصريح سيصدر بشأنه حظر"، موضحا انه "لا داعي لاستقدام نزاعات لا تعني فرنسا الى اراضينا".

وتناقلت مواقع التواصل الاجتماعي دعوة للتظاهر السبت ضد فيلم "براءة المسلمين" المسيء للاسلام، وهو فيلم متدني الميزانية انتج في الولايات المتحدة واثار بث مقتطفات منه مدبلجة بالعربية على الانترنت تظاهرات عنيفة ضد المصالح الاميركية في العالم الاسلامي خصوصا.

واضاف رئيس الوزراء "نحن في جمهورية لا تقبل بتاتا اي ترهيب من اي كان في ما يتعلق بقيمها".

وتابع "لن نتسامح مع اي تجاوزات"، مشيدا ب"روح المسؤولية والاعتدال الكبيرين التي يتحلى بها" مسؤولو الديانة الفرنسية في فرنسا.

وردا على سؤال عن الرسوم الكاريكاتورية التي نشرتها مجلة شارلي ايبدو الاربعاء وسخرت فيها من النبي محمد قال آيرولت "نحن في بلد حيث حرية التعبير محفوظة وحرية رسم الكاريكاتور ايضا".

واضاف "على كل فرد ان يمارس هذه الحرية ويحترمها"، ولكن "اذا شعر اناس حقا بانه اسيء اليهم في قناعاتهم ويعتقدون فعلا حصول تجاوز للقانون، نحن في دولة قانون ودولة القانون هذه يجب ان تحترم، فبامكانهم اللجوء الى المحاكم. لقد سبق وان حصل هذا الامر مع هذه المجلة".

واكد آيرولت انه "يعود الى القيمين على هذه الصحيفة ان يقرروا ما الذي ينبغي القيام به او عدم القيام به". واضاف انه "يفهم" ان البعض قد تكون "مشاعرهم جرحت. ولكن نحن في دولة علمانية، دولة جمهورية".

ونشرت اسبوعية شارلي ايبدو الساخرة الاربعاء رسوما كاريكاتورية مسيئة للنبي محمد تظهره فيها عاريا، وذلك بعد اسبوع من اندلاع موجة الاحتجاجات الاسلامية ضد الفيلم المسيء للاسلام.

@mowaten.... France did not pull the images of Kate... The court did, after the royal family went to court seeking injunction.

Learn about the difference between the government and the judicial system in developed countries.

If you are interested, you may file a case with a French court to seek injunction against Charlie Hebdo.

However, your post denotes a complete misunderstanding of basic civic laws in developed countries. Tells a lot about who you are, and how you think and operate. Listening to your post, vision of 14th Century Inquisition-laden Spain comes to mind...

Well little Ben, the picture of kate went out all over the world, in closer and chi magazine. Kate Middleton then sued the magazine but it was to late. the damage was done. Now Kate is living person. you can ask mohammad or any one representing him in France to sue charlie hebdo because till now no one single muslim have done it. Too lazy, they are more intersted in going to the street like savages. My personal opinion is that all those species that went into the street breaking shops, burning cars and building are young ignorant men with an excess of testosteron and a lack of sex

You can publish anything anti-Jewish or anti-Christian in the west. But you cannot publish anything anti-Jews, or anti-blacks, or anti-Asians. You can attack and criticize ideology all you want, but attacking a person or group of people is illegal. There's a huge difference between a religion and a group of people. This is the fundamental nuance that many people are missing.

Default-user-icon Darwish (ضيف) 15:20 ,2012 أيلول 19

Yes true and this is exactly what our arab world does not seem to get because we do not have this nuance in the systems. Expressing "anti-group of humans feelings" is completely different from laughing at ancient stories or religious characters. The same some people's comments express racist and sectarian feelings against muslims as individuals and it shows clearly. The West has a clear difference between religion and humans as seculor societies. Hence Kate's case... But I know that in the religious and sectarian East, this difference cannot be understood or accepted. All in all, in Europe for instance, you can make a cartoon laughing at Moses for example but a cartoon laughing at a jew being in a gaz chamber is certainly not acceptable and not the same thing.

Criticizing an ideology is the fundamental cornerstone of free speech, which many Muslims are not accepting. This is different than hate speech, which is illegal and is aimed at a person or group of people. In the West hate speech is illegal while in is tolerated in the East. Look how racist we are towards Sri Lankans, Indians, Philipinos, Syrians, etc. But if someone criticizes a religion, the world is turned up-side-down.

I suffered from Christians and Muslims the same amount equally and as the product of my Muslim and Christian parents I am the least one you can accuse of ta3asob or wanting to try the war again. Many bad things happened to my family from both Christians and Muslims in 1975/76. My issue is not about the lack of el 3eich el moushtarak in Lebanon but rather the attempt of extremists to justify their hatred for America which is now my country and where I pledge allegiance. America has many things wrong with it and it has made big mistakes in the Arab world but it has done a ton more good to make up for it and those who preach otherwise are tainted liars who don't want peace, they want to oppress the USA like they oppress in the Muslim dominated countries.
