Terror we Francji. Geneza francuskiego dżihadu

Gilles Kepel, Antoine Jardin

„Chociaż zjawisko trzeciej fazy dżihadu dotyka całą Europę, we Francji jego przejawy są jednak najgłębsze i najbardziej radykalne, od „założycielskiego aktu terrorystycznego”, którym była masakra dzieci ze szkoły żydowskiej w Tuluzie i ich nauczycieli, dokonana przez francuskiego Algierczyka Mohameda Meraha 19 marca 2012 roku – pięćdziesiąt lat po podpisaniu rozejmu w algierskiej wojnie o niepodległość. Od tego czasu doszło do innych aktów terroru: zabójstwa w styczniu 2015 roku dokonanego w siedzibie tygodnika „Charlie Hebdo” i supermarkecie Kasher, aktu terroryzmu w listopadzie 2015 roku na Stadion Francji i w Bataclan, zabicie białą bronią policjanta i jego towarzyszki w ich domu w czerwcu 2016 roku. Świadczą one o tym, że szczególnym celem dżihadystów jest Francja. Badanie czynników politycznych i społecznych, kulturowych, psychologicznych i religijnych jest ważne nie tylko ze względu na wyzwanie, wobec którego w sposób niezwykle ostry stanęła współczesna Francja w wojnie z dżihadyzmem. To także propozycja wzorca interpretacji mającego wartość ogólną, a służącego przemyśleniu kryzysu cywilizacji, który w naszym wieku wybuchł głośno i brutalnie”. Z Przedmowy do polskiego wydania „Francja i ci, którzy idą jej drogą, muszą wiedzieć, że są głównymi celami Państwa Islamskiego i nadal będą czuć odór śmierci za to, że stanęli na czele krucjaty, za to, że ośmielili się obrażać naszego proroka, przechwalali się zniszczeniem islamu we Francji i uderzali w muzułmanów na ziemi Kalifatu ze swoich samolotów, które w niczym im się nie przysłużyły na cuchnących ulicach Paryża. Ten atak to dopiero początek burzy i ostrzeżenie dla tych, którzy chcą się zastanowić i wyciągnąć lekcję”.                           Komunikat o błogosławionym ataku na Paryż przeciwko Francji krzyżowców,    zamieszczony w sieci 15 listopada 2015 r.

The Bront Story Level 3 Oxford Bookworms Library

Vicary, Tim

A level 3 Oxford Bookworms Library graded reader. Retold for Learners of English by Tim Vicary On a September day in 1821, in the church of a Yorkshire village, a man and six children stood around a grave. They were burying a woman: the man's wife, the children's mother. The children were all very young, and within a few years the two oldest were dead, too. Close to the wild beauty of the Yorkshire moors, the father brought up his young family. Who had heard of the Bronts of Haworth then? Branwell died while he was still a young man, but the three sisters who were left had an extraordinary gift. They could write marvellous stories - Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall . . . But Charlotte, Emily, and Anne Bront did not live to grow old or to enjoy their fame. Only their father was left, alone with his memories.
