about People attack religion in their piece of writing, lyrics and also in their video...I trully believe they think is the quickest and best way to get notice and achieve fame...what seems to be outrageous, provocative and shocking get wide acclaims.
Just a year after Rushdie's book controversy, in 1989 Madonna did so with her extravangant and highly provocative and controversial video featuring: imagery, cross burning, rape and discrimination... in targetting the christian symbol and faith she succedeed in her video Like a prayer...she shoot off.
I am wondering why not give honor titles to people like Ahdaf Soueif who writes so honestly, yet respectfully, about Egyptian society...?
I always thought that people who attack religions in their writing a just...plain...they do not have anything else to write about, so they tend to most controversial subject.
drink juice :) yes yes
Le partage n'existe pas...et le departage???? :D
JP, j'suis d'accord ave toi. Je dirais aussi que souvent lorsque l'on censure un livre, une publication...c'est l'une des meilleure facon (non couteuse) pour l'editeur de faire sa pub.
Dans les annees 80, Rushie etait un ecrivain completement inconnu...la censure et fatwa due a l'un de ses premiers livres Les Verses Sataniques l'a propulse sur la scene nationale et internationale. Il a avoue lui meme qu'il etait surpris de recevoir une telle reponse...Bien apres la publication, lors de son exil il a continue a ecrire...son premier objectif etait de se detacher du theme de son premier livre. Il a acheve cela.
De cette maniere la liberte d'expression, le respect de tous les cheminements humains (spirituel, religieux ou autres) est plus efficace que la repression qui donne libre court a la possibilite d'un etat repressif qu'il soit dirige par un dictateur, par des pretres ou des imans, dans le but d'etablir le pouvoir entre les mains d'un groupe quelconque qui imposera sa vision du monde uniformement sur tous par la violence et la peur.
