Under my microscope !

Dear reader,

It is the first time you hear about Islamologist ..French Islamologist, what is worse ! Yes, unfortunately I am a french islamologist. I myself am not religious but I appreciate how sensitive the subject is ..coldly, under my microscope !

I have written : "Learn Arabic and infiltrate "; but whether we like it or not ...Muslims learn English and they infiltrate. In this context it is difficult to ignore the Koran and Arabic.

I wonder whether it's possible to act as if nothing were wrong. You cannot imagine how difficult is to talk about this problem. I know, it is a big problem. A lot of people sincerely think that islam is peaceful. They establish a distinction between islam and islamism . They are only afraid of one thing , that they live in fear.

And in fact we have a few people who resit : to resist by nonviolent means. To use passive resistance .What does it mean ? to learn Arabic, to learn how recognize "radical islam" . It means that we can distinguish between two muslims : the "moderate" and the "extremist".

Patience is something we can learn. In classical Arabic , it is written that "Allah ma'a aS-Sâbirîna " God with patient people. For me , "God helps those who help themselves"

With regards

Anne-Marie Delcambre
