Je Suis Charlie

Reflections on moments of insanity

Je Suis Charlie

Nous qui survivent

Nous qui survivent la férocité de l'Islam fanatique
et apprendre à parler nos esprits, et
qui aiment encore nos frères et s"urs musulmans,
se élever au-dessus de la clameur des aliénés.

 

We Who Survive

We who survive the ferocity of fanatical Islam

and learn to speak our minds, and

who still love our Muslim brothers and sisters,

will rise above the clamour of the insane.

I actually had this conversation with someone who is Muslim and talked about how there is a dark side in every religion that really takes the word and makes it what they need for their own doing. Just happens Islam gets the attention. Love the work... the French sounded awesome trying to read it aloud not knowing what I was saying haha

I agree with this as there is bad and good in every faith and fanatics. I love French but I am very lazy when it comes to learning the language.

I totally agree which Is why I personally do not see this as a fight against Muslims but against those who misuse those beliefs. Thanks WM.
