【经济学家111103】法国和伊斯兰教:自由斗争的交火
France and Islam
Fighting freedom with fire
当法国讽刺周刊《查理周刊》再一次刊发伊斯兰教先知穆罕默德具有争议的丹麦卡通画像时,第一次刊发是在五年前,法国的政治领导人非常矛盾。法国前总统希拉克,将它称为“明显的挑衅”。“任何能够伤害他人信仰的行为都必须避免”,他说。今日,对于《查理周刊》和伊斯兰教的新冲突,法国的政治反应坚定地多了。
WHEN the French satirical weekly, Charlie Hebdo, reprinted controversial Danish cartoons of the Prophet, Muhammad, five years ago, French political leaders were ambivalent. Jacques Chirac, then the president, called it a “manifest provocation”. “Anything that can wound the convictions of others should be avoided,” he declared. Today’s political reactions to a fresh controversy surrounding Charlie Hebdo and Islam have been far more robust.
