كيف يفقد الناس أنفسهم في مثل هذه الظروف المعاكسة؟

وسئلت الكاتبة الحائزة على جائزة نوبل عن كيف يفقد الناس أنفسهم في مثل هذه الظروف المعاكسة فقالت “مرة أخرى أعتقد انها مسألة استراتيجيات فردية… في المعسكر فقد المثقفون إنسانيتهم أولا لأنهم اعتمدوا على بناء أكثر تعقيدا (للأخلاق وللعالم) لا يفلح عندما تنهار الحضارة. اما الناس البسطاء فسيقولون فقط ‘هذا هو الصواب وهذا غير صائب لا يجب أن تسير الأمور على هذا النحو.‘ هذا النوع من أخلاق الأسود والأبيض أكثر فعالية بكثير في مثل هذا الوضع أكثر فعالية بكثير من نموذج اخلاق المفكر المعقد… في كل دكتاتورية يشارك عدد كبير من المثقفين في جرائم الحكومة

لا يَزَالَ الْمُؤْمِنُ فِي فُسْحَةٍ مِنْ دِينِهِ مَا لَمْ يُصِبْ دَمًا حَرَامًا

—حديث شريف

العنف قادم لا محالة لو لم يتدخل عقلاء الأمة لاحتواء الموقف، وتهدئة الشباب الثائر الذي لم يجد ما يمنعه من ممارسة العنف… (وأن) الظروف التي دفعت الإسلاميين إلى العنف قديمًا هي نفسها الموجودة الآن، وربما تكون أشد وأكثر حدة حاليًا، وهو ما يتطلب ضرورة التوافق أولًا حتى تكون هناك آلية لمواجهة أي عنف قد يتولد

يعني لسه بتحبني؟
على فكرة أنا مش مؤمن بمبدأ السؤال ده.
ليه؟
دا سؤال لفظي .. إحنا بنحس الحب زي ما بنحس الخوف والفرح والكره .. فعشان تعرفي إذا كنت لسه بحبك واللا لأ إسألي نفسك ..

Adventures of Prince Achmed, 1926. by Eye magazine
 The Adventures of Prince Achmed(German: Die Abenteuer des Prinzen Achmed) is a 1926 German animated fairytale film by Lotte Reiniger. It is the oldest surviving animated feature film; two earlier ones were made in Argentina by Quirino Cristiani, but they are considered lost.
The Adventures of Prince Achmed features a silhouette animation technique Reiniger had invented which involved manipulated cutouts made from cardboard and thin sheets of lead under a camera. The technique she used for the camera is similar to Wayang shadow puppets, though hers were animated frame by frame, not manipulated in live action. 
German writer/director, Lotte Reiniger spent three years making this silent animated film, based on the Arabian Nights legends.

All of the books under review here regard Murdoch as more or less a monster: and thus it is worth recognising that he has distinguished defenders.
