Podcasts about Coran

Dans "Les 10 commandements", le film à grand spectacle que Cecil B. De Mille consacre, en 1956, à l'épisode biblique de l'Exode des Hébreux hors d'Égypte, Moïse s'oppose à un pharaon qui n'est autre que Ramsès II. Si l'on en croit la Bible, les Hébreux auraient été accueillis en Égypte, avant d'être réduits en esclavage par le pharaon. Puis, sous la conduite de Moïse, ils auraient quitté le pays, pour se diriger vers Canaan, la Terre Promise. C'est au cours de cet Exode que les soldats du pharaon, qui poursuivaient les Hébreux, auraient vu la mer Rouge se refermer sur eux et les engloutir. Mais le prophète qui conduit son peuple hors d'Égypte a-t-il vraiment eu affaire à Ramsès II ? Rien n'est moins sûr. En effet, rien, dans ce fameux épisode biblique, n'est vraiment attesté comme un fait historique. À commencer par l'existence même de Moïse. Si le prophète est évoqué dans le Bible et le Coran, aucun document, notamment dans les sources égyptiennes, ne prouve qu'il ait vraiment vécu. Par ailleurs, la date de l'Exode, si tant est qu'il se soit produit, est très difficile à fixer. La Bible ne donne pas une date précise, se contentant d'indiquer que Salomon aurait bâti le Temple de Jérusalem 480 ans après la sortie des Hébreux d'Égypte. Selon une certaine tradition, l'Exode aurait eu lieu en 1446 avant J.-C. Parmi les historiens qui admettent l'historicité de l'Exode, les uns pensent qu'il aurait eu lieu durant la XXVIe dynastie, soit de 664 à 525 avant notre ère. Pour les autres, il aurait pu se dérouler sous les XIXe et XXe dynasties, de 1295 à 1069 avant J.-C. Dans ce cas, Ramsès II, qui règne de 1279 à 1213 avant notre ère, aurait pu provoquer l'Exode. Mais rien, dans les documents que nous possédons, ne fait état d'un tel mouvement de population à cette époque. Au surplus, la Bible ne donne aucun nom à ce souverain, se contentant de l'appeler "Pharaon" ou "le roi d'Égypte". Le débat reste donc ouvert. Learn more about your ad choices.

Dans la première partie de notre émission, nous passerons en revue quelques événements qui ont marqué l'actualité cette semaine. Tout d'abord, nous parlerons du président turc Recep Tayyip Erdogan, qui vient de s'opposer une fois encore à l'adhésion de la Suède à l'OTAN. Ensuite, nous évoquerons le scandale de corruption politique en Ukraine, qui a poussé de hauts responsables du gouvernement à la démission. Puis, nous discuterons d'une nouvelle technologie qui pourrait potentiellement révolutionner l'industrie minière : un moteur diesel fonctionnant à l'hydrogène. Nous conclurons la première partie en parlant du comité de surveillance indépendant de Meta, qui vient de demander à Facebook et Instagram de réviser leur politique de stricte interdiction des seins nus. Le comité considère que cette interdiction est discriminatoire et entrave la liberté d'expression.    Poursuivons avec la deuxième partie de notre émission, « Trending in France ». Nous parlerons des conclusions de la direction de la répression des fraudes sur la pratique de la « shrinkflation » en France. Nous discuterons pour finir du film Vaincre ou Mourir, produit par le parc d'attractions du Puy du Fou. - Coran brûlé en Suède : la Turquie bloque la candidature de la Suède à l'OTAN - Le gouvernement ukrainien touché par un scandale de corruption en pleine guerre - Des chercheurs australiens ont fabriqué des moteurs diesel fonctionnant à l'hydrogène - Facebook et Instagram vont devoir réviser leur politique de stricte interdiction des seins nus - La « shrinkflation » est une pratique courante en France - Le Puy du Fou se lance dans le cinéma

Café, boisson exotique dont le clergé réfléchit à interdire la consommation à ses fidèles. À la fin du 16ème siècle, Venise est plus puissante que jamais grâce à sa marine et son commerce. Elle exporte et importe de tout, notamment du café. Café, boisson exotique dont le clergé réfléchit à interdire la consommation à ses fidèles. En effet, il est considéré comme une boisson du diable car elle est d'origine arabe, et donc hérétique. Le gros paradoxe est que le Coran, ne mentionant pas le café dans ses textes, considérait également la boisson comme interdite pour le monde musulman. Le pape de l'époque, Clément VIII décida de trancher la question de cette boisson. Il l'eut gouté et l'aurait trouvé tellement bon qu'il baptisa le café. Mais pas baptiser dans le sens moderne ou il lui a trouvé un blaze.  Non, non. Il l'a baptisé littéralement. “Mon petit cawa, au nom de la trinité, je te baptise. Je t'appellerai espresso et c'est sur cet espresso que je bâtirai moult boissons aussi délicieuses que néfastes pour la santé.” Ce ne sont évidemment pas les termes historiques mais une fois le café baptisé, il fut reconnu comme chrétien et donc sa consommation fut de par le fait autorisée au monde chrétien. On peut se questionner sur la vérité de ces faits et nous avons raison de le faire. Ce qu'on est sûr, c'est que Clément VIII a bien affirmé que, je cite : “– L'arôme du café est une chose bien trop agréable pour être l'œuvre du Malin. Il serait dommage que les musulmans en aient l'exclusivité.” La légende du baptême est très certainement de la flûte et encore une romance dont nous commençons à avoir l'habitude de voir sur cette chaîne. Ne pensez pas que cette interdiction caféinée est un fait unique de l'histoire, au contraire. L'histoire a connu non pas une mais bien des prohibitions du café, certaines menaçant même de peine de mort. Mais ça c'est une autre histoire. Learn more about your ad choices.

Quel souvenir laisse Benoît XVI en Afrique, à la fois chez les chrétiens et les musulmans ? Pourquoi a-t-il abdiqué il y a 10 ans ? En ce jour des obsèques de Benoît XVI, entretien avec le religieux burkinabè Jean-Paul Sagadou, père assomptionniste et journaliste au groupe de presse catholique Bayard Afrique, à Abidjan et à Ouagadougou. RFI : Quel bilan faites-vous du pontificat de Benoît XVI ? Père Jean-Paul Sagadou : Alors c'est difficile de faire le bilan d'un pape et il a eu une décision audacieuse, surprenante même, de faire ce qu'aucun pape n'avait jamais osé faire depuis des siècles, renoncer à sa charge. S'il y avait trois choses à dire sur ce qui a marqué son pontificat, je dirais la foi, l'espérance et la charité. Alors, vous dites qu'il a stupéfait le monde entier le jour de février 2013, où il a renoncé à sa charge. À l'époque, il disait que c'était pour des raisons de santé, mais il a survécu 10 ans à son abdication. Était-ce seulement pour cela ? Alors, c'est difficile à dire. J'estime personnellement que les choses se sont passées au plus profond de sa conscience. Il a compris qu'il avait peut-être atteint un âge qui ne lui permettait plus de continuer à assumer correctement sa mission. Après, évidemment, les observateurs de ce qui peut se passer au Vatican peuvent épiloguer, comme quoi c'était difficile, qu'il y avait peut-être des mésententes à l'intérieur [du Vatican, NDLR]. Personnellement, je considère qu'il a pris une décision audacieuse, que moi je considère aujourd'hui comme quelque chose d'assez positif. Je pense que ça a été un homme défenseur de la doctrine de la foi qui n'a pas voulu se mêler à des enjeux de pouvoir, parce que, pour lui, qui dit pouvoir dit forcément, nécessairement, service. L'un de ses grands combats, c'était la lutte contre l'esprit de mai 68 et contre le relativisme moral, n'est-ce pas l'une des raisons de son abdication de 2013 et peut-être, au contraire de ce que vous appelez l'espérance, une forme de désespoir ? Je pense que c'est difficile de percevoir les choses de cette manière. C'est vrai, en 2005 – je crois, lors d'une homélie – il a déclaré : « Nous mettons en place une dictature du relativisme qui ne reconnaît rien comme définitif et dont les standards ultimes sont simplement l'ego et les désirs de chacun ». De ce point de vue, on peut dire qu'il s'est retrouvé en face d'un monde qui vit en contradiction avec la perception qu'il a de l'Évangile. Est-ce que cela l'a bousculé, troublé ? Est-ce que son message ne passait pas et cela l'a poussé à partir ? Moi, je ne mettrais pas forcément cette hypothèse en avant, voilà. Alors, comme son compagnon de toujours, Jean-Paul II, Benoît XVI laisse le souvenir d'un théologien conservateur qui était intransigeant sur la question des mœurs : il défendait le célibat des prêtres, il ne voulait pas entendre parler de l'ordination des femmes. Est-ce qu'aujourd'hui, il n'apparaît pas comme un pape qui n'est plus de son temps ? Oui, je crois que Benoît XVI se situait dans la droite ligne de la tradition de l'Église. Justement, sur l'ordination des femmes, c'est assez subtil ce qu'il disait : « Nous ne disons pas que nous ne voulons pas, mais que nous ne pouvons pas. » Et il ajoutait que le Seigneur a donné à l'Église une forme avec les 12 apôtres, puis avec les évêques et les prêtres, donc ce n'est pas nous qui avons donné cette forme à l'Église. Alors, on peut considérer que cette position-là, d'un point de vue théologique, peut rester une forme de débat à l'intérieur de l'Église, mais en tout cas, telle a été sa position. Mais sur le célibat des prêtres, n'y a-t-il pas une grande hypocrisie, notamment en Afrique ? Hypocrisie, je ne sais pas. Et pourquoi l'Afrique ? Par contre, on constate, avec toutes les questions que nous connaissons actuellement des abus dans l'Église, qu'il y a quand même un certain nombre de questions qui se posent, qui méritent qu'au sein de l'Église, on regarde avec beaucoup plus de clairvoyance, de vérité. L'enjeu étant vraiment le service de l'Église. ►À lire aussi : Le pape François rend un dernier hommage à son prédécesseur lors des obsèques de Benoît XVI N'y aurait-il pas moins d'abus sexuels dans l'Église catholique si les prêtres avaient le droit de se marier ? C'est une bonne question, mais je ne sais pas qui serait capable de répondre à cette question, est-ce qu'il y aurait moins de difficultés ? Ou plus, ou moins… Je n'en sais rien (sourire). Benoît XVI est le premier pape à s'être engagé au sein de l'Église catholique dans la lutte contre les abus sexuels et la pédocriminalité. Mais n'a-t-il pas été trop timide dans ce combat ? C'est le reproche qu'on lui fait, en effet, mais je pense qu'il faut insister sur le fait qu'il a été le premier à s'engager auprès des victimes de violences sexuelles commises par les clercs. Il est le premier souverain pontife à consacrer un document à cette crise-là, avec la publication en 2010 d'une lettre aux catholiques d'Irlande après des révélations sur des milliers de cas. D'ailleurs, un texte au ton vif, dans lequel il dit partager leur consternation et leur sentiment de trahison. Donc, moi, je pense que c'est un homme humble qui a d'ailleurs accepté les critiques qui étaient adressées à l'Église et qui finalement contribuaient à mettre en place de nouvelles normes pour qu'on puisse quand même – disons le mot, et je pense que lui-même l'a utilisé – nettoyer l'Église. On sait qu'en son temps, il y a eu quelque 400 prêtres qui ont quand même été renvoyés. Et puis, le pape François a poursuivi le travail. Benoît XVI n'aimait pas voyager, mais en novembre 2011, il est allé au Bénin, notamment à Ouidah, où il a signé l'exhortation Africae Munus, l'engagement pour l'Afrique, une sorte de feuille de route de l'Église catholique pour l'Afrique. Qu'en retenez-vous ? Alors ce n'était pas seulement au Bénin, mais il a fait aussi le Cameroun et puis l'Angola et je pense qu'au Bénin, de fait, c'était une étape importante parce qu'il y avait eu le second synode des évêques pour l'Afrique – c'était peut-être en octobre 2009 – et donc là, en arrivant au Bénin en 2011, c'est à cette occasion que le pape a remis l'exhortation synodale Africae Munus, donc l'engagement des évêques pour l'Afrique. Et puis on peut voir dans ce texte comme une sorte de charte pour la réconciliation, la justice et la paix en Afrique. En 2009, on avait aussi la mémoire de tout ce qui s'était passé, avec le génocide au Rwanda, toutes les problématiques d'ethnies, de tribus… Donc ce qui a été au cœur de ce voyage du pape, c'est quand même cette question de la réconciliation, de la justice et de la paix. Et puis il a interpellé tout le monde, à la fois les responsables d'Église, mais aussi les hommes politiques, puisqu'il a parlé de la bonne gouvernance. Moi, je retiens deux choses : il a parlé de l'Église d'Afrique comme d'un poumon spirituel pour l'humanité, donc il y a quelque chose à en tirer, il y a de la richesse. Il a aussi appelé les gouvernants à ne pas priver les populations d'avenir, d'espérance et donc à travailler à une bonne gouvernance pour qu'enfin, ce continent-là, qui est si riche, puisse quand même apporter sa contribution au reste du monde, mais à condition qu'il y ait la paix, la fraternité, la solidarité. Et puis il y a la grande question des rapports entre chrétiens et musulmans. L'un des moments les plus marquants du pontificat de Benoît XVI reste son discours de Ratisbonne en septembre 2006, où il a cité un empereur byzantin qui disait que la violence était intrinsèque à l'islam. Il a eu raison ou il a eu tort ? Alors en fait, je crois qu'il a été très mal compris, mais on sait aussi qu'assez rapidement, il a été accueilli en Turquie par le président Erdogan, et il a redit son souhait de voir musulmans et chrétiens marcher côte à côte sur les chemins d'une compréhension réciproque. Donc, je pense qu'à Ratisbonne, il y a eu quiproquo, il y a eu incompréhension et peut-être que le contexte global aussi de l'époque pouvait favoriser cela et ça a créé des dégâts. Et je pense que le pape en a beaucoup souffert lui-même, parce qu'il a eu plusieurs occasions de dire que ce n'est pas ce qu'il voulait dire et qu'il a même beaucoup d'estime pour le Coran, pour lequel il éprouve le respect qui convient, pour le Livre Saint d'une grande religion comme l'islam. C'est vrai qu'il y a eu beaucoup de violence au nom de l'islam dans l'histoire, mais n'y a-t-il pas eu aussi beaucoup de violence au nom du christianisme dans l'histoire ? Ah, c'est évident, c'est évident. Parce que ce discours a beaucoup choqué, notamment à la mosquée Al-Azhar du Caire, à la Grande Mosquée de Paris. Est-ce que le pape a ensuite trouvé les voies du dialogue avec ces grands docteurs de la foi musulmane ? Oui, justement, je me rappelle, j'étais au Togo à l'époque. Là, vous évoquez un peu des grands lieux d'islam où les conséquences ont été dramatiques, mais en fait, jusque dans les petits villages, même d'Afrique, il y a eu quand même une sorte de rayonnement de ce discours qui a provoqué une sorte d'effervescence irrationnelle. Y compris dans les communautés musulmanes d'Afrique de l'Ouest, comme au Togo ? Oui, oui, évidemment. Moi – je me rappelle donc – moi je vivais dans une ville où il y avait 70% de musulmans. On s'est retrouvé avec des jeunes qui ne comprenaient pas forcément ce qui avait été dit. Le discours, c'est : « On a insulté l'islam, on a insulté le prophète. » Donc, ça suffisait pour sortir et crier. C'est pour ça que je trouve qu'il y a eu quiproquo. Probablement que l'intellectuel, le grand théologien que Mgr Ratzinger, devenu pape Benoît XVI, a eu un discours qui n'est pas facilement accessible pour la plupart d'entre nous et qui peut provoquer ce type d'incompréhension. Mais la question, c'est : comment s'est-il comporté par la suite ? On sait qu'il y a eu plusieurs approches. Le fait qu'il y ait eu cette rencontre en Turquie, mais je pense qu'il y a eu d'autres occasions où le pape Benoît XVI a essayé de rendre compte de ce qu'il voulait dire, et que ce n'était pas une attaque contre l'islam. Et je pense que Benoît XVI – et bien avant lui, même Jean-Paul II – ils ont toujours, quand même, intégré la question de la raison, de la réflexion. On ne croit pas n'importe comment et sinon, on verse dans l'intolérance. Et puis, dans tout ce qu'on connaît aujourd'hui, comme fondamentalisme et tout ça… La foi doit être forcément éclairée, et je crois que c'est ça qui peut nous faire avancer ensemble. Pour conclure, peut-on dire que Benoît XVI a été un pape incompris ? Peut-être. J'ai eu le sentiment, depuis son décès, avec tout ce que j'ai pu lire et entendre, que de fait, les gens se disent « on pense qu'on l'avait un peu mal compris, mais on pense qu'on le comprend, peut être maintenant », et c'est souvent après la mort de certaines personnes qu'on découvre vraiment leur visage et qu'on reconnait quels ont été le poids, la force de leurs paroles, de leurs discours. ► À écouter aussi : Cardinal Fridolin Ambongo (RDC): le pape Benoît XVI reste «notre plus grand théologien»

L'émission 28 Minutes du 22/12/2022 Au programme de l'émission du 22 décembre 2022 ⬇ Touhfat Mouhtare nous fait entrer dans la légende de l'archipel des Comores Dans l'océan Indien, entre le Mozambique et Madagascar, se cache un archipel volcanique dont on parle peu : les Comores. Anciennement sous domination française, trois des îles sont devenues indépendantes en 1975. La quatrième, Mayotte, a choisi de se rattacher à la France. Les relations sont depuis compliquées entre les deux pays. C'est dans ce contexte qu'est née Touhfat Mouhtare en 1986, l'une des rares écrivaines comoriennes. L'essentiel de son roman "Le feu du milieu", publié aux éditions Le Bruit du Monde, se déroule dans son pays natal. On y suit le parcours initiatique de Gaillard, jeune fille qui grandit entre les enseignements du Coran par son maître et les légendes comoriennes de sa mère adoptive. Progressivement, une histoire de ce pays mystérieux se dessine. Pour en parler, Touhfat Mouhtare est sur notre plateau.  Robots, intelligence artificielle : peut-on vraiment leur faire confiance ? Proposer une machine qui profite à toute l'humanité, telle est l'ambition d'Open AI, la start-up californienne qui a mis au point ChatGPT.

Nous nous retrouvons jeudi 15 décembre 2022 à 20h00 pour une conférence dédiée à al-Hakîm al-Tirmidhî, avec Geneviève Gobillot. D'après quelques uns de ses contemporains, dont les témoignages ont été consignés par des hagiographes, al-Hakîm al-Tirmidhî aurait laissé entendre que ses œuvres étaient destinées aux générations futures. Parmi les thèmes qu'il a traités, nous en aborderons trois, qui semblent pouvoir confirmer, de nos jours, l'exactitude de cette conviction, chacun d'eux témoignant, de plus, de la fidélité de ses idées à l'enseignement du Coran. Le premier apporte un certain nombre de réponses aux préoccupations concernant les relations entre les hommes et les femmes dans la société et en privé. Le deuxième touche le rapport des humains à la nature, et en particulier aux animaux. Le troisième est relatif à la conciliation entre respect de l'identité de chaque individu et ouverture à l'universalité à travers le concept de fraternité adamique. Geneviève Gobillot est professeure émérite de l'Université de Lyon, spécialiste de la pensée mystique des premiers siècles de l'islam et en particulier de l'œuvre d'al-Hakîm al-Tirmidhî, ainsi que de la lecture intratextuelle et intertextuelle du Coran.

Ả Rập Xê Út khiến các nước phương Tây phải tự đối mặt với những mâu thuẫn của chính mình. Triều đại Saoud đã xây dựng các mối liên minh chính trị, kinh tế, quân sự với Mỹ, châu Âu, hay như Pháp chẳng hạn. Tuy nhiên, các nền dân chủ tự do bị chỉ trích vì những hoạt động giao thương với một Nhà nước bản chất là phi tự do, và truyền bá một phiên bản đạo Hồi sản sinh ra những phong trào thánh chiến lan rộng trên thế giới. Chủ Nhật ngày 16/10/2022, cố vấn an ninh Nhà Trắng Jake Sullivan cho biết « tổng thống Biden không có ý định gặp thái tử Ả Rập Xê Út tại thượng đỉnh G20 diễn ra trong tháng 11 ở Indonesia ». Ông xác nhận việc hòa giải không nằm trong chương trình nghị sự giữa hai nước. Tuyên bố trên của Nhà Trắng được đưa ra ngay sau khi OPEC quyết định cho giảm sản lượng khai thác dầu hai triệu thùng mỗi ngày, nhằm duy trì mức giá cao trên thị trường, bất chấp những đề nghị của tổng thống Mỹ Joe Biden trong cuộc gặp với hoàng thái tử Ben Salman hồi giữa tháng 7/2022 tại Ả Rập Xê Út. Theo đó, Hoa Kỳ mong muốn Ả Rập Xê Út tăng sản lượng dầu nhằm bình ổn giá cả trên thị trường thế giới, vốn tăng vọt mạnh do việc Nga phát động cuộc chiến xâm lược Ukraina, khiến lạm phát tăng cao, nhất là tại Mỹ, vào thời điểm Joe Biden đang chuẩn bị cho cuộc bầu cử giữa kỳ tháng 11/2022. Trong nỗi tức giận này, chủ nhân Nhà Trắng còn thông báo sẽ xem xét lại mối quan hệ với Ả Rập Xê Út. Nhưng, đây không phải là lần đầu tiên hai nước bất hòa. Trên báo Pháp Les Echos, Steven Ekovich, giáo sư ngành Quan hệ Quốc tế, trường đại học Mỹ tại Paris, nhắc lại : « Liên minh giữa Mỹ và Ả Rập Xê Út là cũ xưa, và có lợi cho cả hai bên. Người ta đã có quá nhiều ảo ảnh về cuộc gặp nổi tiếng ngày 14/02/1945 trên chiếc tuần dương hạm "USS Quincy" giữa quốc vương Abdelaziz Ibn Saoud, và tổng thống Mỹ Franklin Roosevelt, khi trên đường trở về từ hội nghị Yalta, nhưng ý nghĩa ẩn dụ vẫn còn rất mạnh mẽ ». « Hiệp ước Quincy », kết nối hai nước bằng một loạt các bảo đảm an ninh và quân sự cho Ả Rập Xê Út, chính thức có hiệu lực từ những năm 1950, đổi lại Hoa Kỳ được dễ dàng tiếp cận nguồn dầu khí dồi dào của vương quốc Ả Rập. Kể từ đó, phương Tây, đi đầu là Mỹ, xem mối liên minh này với Ả Rập Xê Út như là một trong số các cột trụ cho chính sách Trung Đông của mình, cả trên bình diện kinh tế lẫn chính trị : Bình ổn giá dầu trên thế giới, đấu tranh chống chủ nghĩa Hồi giáo cực đoan, Ngăn chặn đà mở rộng ảnh hưởng của Iran, Hợp đồng bán vũ khí trên phương diện quốc phòng. Quả thật, trong suốt nửa cuối thế kỷ XX, Riyad được xem như là một « đồng minh tốt » của Washington trong khu vực, từ cuộc chiến chống chủ nghĩa bành trướng Xô Viết trong những năm 1960-1970, Afghanistan trong những năm 1980 và cuộc chiến vùng Vịnh năm 1991. Trong cuộc xung đột Israel – Palestine, Ả Rập Xê Út đóng một vai trò dung hòa trong thế giới Ả Rập. Riyad và chính sách ngoại giao hai mặt Nhìn chung, phương Tây đánh giá mối quan hệ với Riyad là tích cực. Ả Rập Xê Út trong suốt những thập niên đó đã cố gắng đưa ra hình ảnh một đồng minh trung thành và dung hòa, một đối tác không thể thiếu tại một khu vực có nhiều biến động. Cả cú sốc dầu hỏa do chính Ả Rập Xê Út gây ra năm 1973, cũng như những bất đồng sâu sắc nhất về hồ sơ Israel – Palestine đều không ảnh hưởng đến mối quan hệ này. Nhưng liệu Ả Rập Xê Út có thật sự là một đồng minh tốt ? Cuộc tấn công khủng bố tòa tháp đôi ở Mỹ ngày 11/09/2001 gây chấn động thế giới đã cho thấy một gương mặt khác của Riyad. Trong vụ việc này, 15 trong số 19 thủ phạm tấn công tự sát, là người Ả Rập Xê Út. Quan hệ giữa Mỹ và Ả Rập Xê Út cũng rạn nứt từ đó. Và sau này, các vụ tấn công khủng bố đẫm máu trên lãnh thổ châu Âu như tại Pháp, Bỉ… trong những năm sau nửa thập kỷ 2010, đã làm dấy lên mối nghi ngờ về quan hệ chặt chẽ giữa Riyad với các phong trào Hồi giáo cực đoan. Pierre Conesa, tác giả tập sách « Dr Saoud et Mr Djihad, la diplomatie religieuse de l'Arabie saoudite », nói về chính sách ngoại giao tôn giáo, trong một chương trình phỏng vấn truyền hình trên kênh France 24 hồi năm 2016, từng lưu ý rằng, nếu muốn hiểu rõ Ả Rập Xê Út, thì tuyệt đối phải biết rõ chính sách hai mặt mà vương quốc này kiến tạo ngay từ ngày đầu lập quốc. « Khi Vương quốc được cấu trúc như một quốc gia, điều đó dựa trên tính chính đáng kép, lẽ đương nhiên là tính chính đáng triều đại với dòng tộc Saoud, nhưng trên hết là tính chính đáng tôn giáo, có được nhờ sự hậu thuẫn mà nhà thần học Abdelwahab đã trao cho bộ tộc Saoud (thế kỷ XVIII), khi họ chinh phục lãnh thổ. Điều bị hiểu sai ở đây chính là, các lợi ích của cả hai điều đó hoàn toàn gắn chặt với nhau, nghĩa là, mỗi khi dòng tộc Saoud cần đến phương Tây để cứu lấy vương triều, đặc biệt là trong những năm gần đây, thì mỗi lần như thế, họ lại phải có những biện minh với hàng giáo sĩ. Đổi lại, những người này, mỗi lần như vậy, lại có thêm chút quyền lực trong việc kiểm soát xã hội, ngoại giao tôn giáo. Thế nên, trên thực tế, nền ngoại giao của Ả Rập Xê Út là mang tính hai mặt : Một chính sách ngoại giao chính trị và thứ đến là ngoại giao tôn giáo, có một sứ mệnh và được thể hiện rõ trong các phát ngôn chính trị nhằm phổ biến trào lưu Hồi giáo chính thống Wahhabism, mà Wahhabisme cũng chính là Salafism. » Hồi giáo Wahhabite – « đứa con lai » giữa Mỹ và Liên Xô Điều này phương Tây biết rõ, nhưng vẫn nhắm mắt làm ngơ vì những lợi ích kinh tế và chiến lược trong khu vực. Phương Tây cho rằng đề cập đến việc vương quốc Hồi giáo hệ phái Wahhabit không có cùng các giá trị với phương Tây là không cần thiết, và cũng chẳng màng đặt câu hỏi về vai trò mờ ám của Ả Rập Xê Út trước đà phát triển mạnh Hồi giáo cực đoan bằng cách cho phép truyền bá hệ tư tưởng Hồi giáo hà khắc của mình. Trong một ghi chú của Michel Duclos, cựu đại sứ Pháp tại Syria, cố vấn địa chính trị cho Viện Montaigne, được báo L'Orient-Le-Jour trích dẫn, « từ các vụ tấn công khủng bố của Nhà nước Hồi giáo, tại châu Âu phát triển một mối ngờ vực rằng hệ tư tưởng Wahhabit là một phần trong đà đi lên mạnh mẽ của thánh chiến Hồi giáo. » Về điểm này, ông Pierre Conesa, cũng trong chương trình phỏng vấn năm 2016, dành cho France 24, mô tả một cách chi tiết rằng trong suốt những thập niên đó, Ả Rập Xê Út đã có một chiến lược gây ảnh hưởng thật sự và phương Tây đã sai lầm khi đánh giá thấp tham vọng này của Ả Rập Xê Út, vốn không chỉ đơn giản là nhằm chống lại ảnh hưởng của Iran. « Điều gây ấn tượng cho tôi là sự thông minh của hệ thống. Nghĩa là, hệ thống ngoại giao tôn giáo của Ả Rập Xê Út là một dạng hỗn hợp, đó là một "đứa con lai" giữa hệ thống kiểu Mỹ và Liên Xô. Hệ thống của Mỹ bởi vì, họ có hẳn một chính sách quốc gia. Chế độ có thiên triều là phải truyền bá rộng rãi phiên bản Hồi giáo Wahhabite, hầu như khắp nơi trên khắp địa cầu. Rồi bên cạnh đó, còn có các quỹ với những nguồn tài chính dồi dào từ các đại gia tộc, cũng có kiểu hoạt động giống như các tổ chức phi chính phủ, trao tặng học bổng cho các trường đại học. Tóm lại, họ có cả một hệ thống nhiều tầng lớp tương tự như là ở Hoa Kỳ. Và cùng lúc, chúng ta có hệ thống kiểu Xô Viết bởi vì quý vị có cùng hệ tư tưởng toàn trị, hệ phái Wahhabit cũng chính là chủ nghĩa toàn trị mà tôn giáo là nền tảng cơ bản. Điển hình là hệ thống đại học Medine, giống như mô hình đại học Lumumba tuyệt vời mà quý vị biết đến ở Matxcơva, nơi để đào tạo các quan chức, khách mời, những người có học bổng, hay được trả công… rồi sau đó những người này được gởi trở về nước của chính họ để phổ biến phiên bản này của đạo Hồi. Ở đây, chúng ta có một hệ thống uyển chuyển, rất độc đáo, nhưng chưa bao giờ được nghiên cứu như vậy. » Phương Tây và sự giả dối Cũng theo ông Pierre Conesa, sự linh hoạt uyển chuyển này được Ả Rập Xê Út áp dụng một cách rất kín đáo nhưng rất hiệu quả. Tùy theo bản chất của từng quốc gia, khu vực, mà Riyad có một đối sách riêng biệt. Ông đơn cử vài trường hợp : « Chẳng hạn như tại Ấn Độ, quốc gia đông cộng đồng Hồi giáo hệ pháp Shia thứ hai trên thế giới. Ấn Độ có một chính sách chống người Hồi giáo Shia rất hiệu quả và đây cũng là một trục chính quan trọng trong chính sách ngoại giao của Ả Rập Xê Út chính là làm thế nào chống người theo hệ phái Shia trên khắp thế giới. Rồi Riyad còn thực hiện một chính sách tại các nền dân chủ lớn mà Liên minh Hồi giáo Thế giới là một cánh tay vũ trang. Ả Rập Xê Út có một chiến lược rất khác biệt tại các nước theo chủ nghĩa cộng đồng như tại Vương quốc Anh, Bỉ v.v… Yêu cầu của Liên minh này là người Hồi giáo cũng phải những quyền tương tự như bao cộng đồng khác, do vậy, họ đòi phải có trường dạy kinh Coran và tòa án Hồi giáo. Đó là những gì đã diễn ra ở Canada và người ta bất ngờ phát hiện ra rằng những tòa án Hồi giáo này có thể đưa ra những phán quyết trái với luật pháp Canada. Còn tại những quốc gia như Pháp chẳng hạn, mà sự thế tục là nguyên tắc thì những lời lên án bị xem như là bài Hồi giáo. Điều này cho phép phổ biến tư tưởng Hồi giáo hệ phái Salafi gần như khắp nơi ». Chỉ có điều, như nhận xét cay đắng của ông Pierre Conesa, nhờ vào thế mạnh « dầu hỏa – đô la » mà Ả Rập Xê Út giờ có thể vươn chiếc vòi « Hồi giáo cực đoan » đến nhiều vùng lãnh thổ mà châu Âu khó thể tiệt trừ. Không như mong đợi từ giới chính trị gia phương Tây, cuộc chiến chống Hồi giáo cực đoan chưa bao giờ kết thúc, ngược lại, phiên bản Hồi giáo mà Ả Rập Xê Út đang lan truyền là một hệ tư tưởng « kỳ thị sắc tộc nhất, bài Do Thái nhất, bài đồng tính nhất, bài phụ nữ nhất, và bè phái nhất » của đạo Hồi, theo như lời giải thích từ một nhà thần học với tác giả tập sách « Dr Saoud et Mr Djihad, la diplomatie religieuse de l'Arabie saoudite ».

Sutra du diamant "Le Vénérable Bouddha a parlé" réinterprété par Shaolin-Rainer Le Sutra de Diamant consigne des dialogues de questions et de réponses entre le Bouddha historique et l'un de ses disciples (le Subhūti). De par son importance, ce sutra peut être comparé à la Bible ou au Coran. Les phrases clés bouddhistes sont déterminantes dans cette œuvre. "La forme est le vide - le vide est la forme" est la déclaration centrale. L'authenticité de tous les mots du Sutra du diamant n'a pas pu être confirmée à ce jour, on ne peut que supposer qui en est l'auteur et si le contenu a été 'embelli' ou même 'instrumentalisé'. Ce qui est sûr, c'est que la philosophie du Bouddha historique y est transmise, du moins dans son esprit. Traduit, le titre signifie "La perfection de la sagesse, si tranchante qu'elle peut même fendre un diamant". Le Sutra du diamant a été 'écrit' pour la première fois au Tibet (environ 600 ans avant que Gutenberg n'imprime la première Bible en Allemagne). Après l'étude du Sutra du diamant, le chercheur ne doit plus se contenter de voir la surface, mais regarder au-delà des événements, des phénomènes et des personnes. La façon dont nous percevons quelque chose nous apparaît. Mais l'apparence n'est pas toujours la réalité. Pour les gens des temps modernes, le texte original est en décalage avec le monde d'aujourd'hui, il est rédigé dans une langue d'une époque depuis longtemps révolue, qui semble désuète et enlève le plaisir de la lecture. Dans sa version originale, peu de personnes intéressées ont accès aux paroles et à la vision du monde du Bouddha historique. C'est pourquoi j'ai pris la liberté d'habiller les paroles du Bouddha de phrases modernes. Chapitre I "Le Vénérable Bouddha a parlé". "Disciple, tu dois savoir que la signification de mes enseignements se situe au-delà des pensées et des mots". Que voulait donc dire le Bouddha à son disciple ? À mon avis, il s'agit ici de l'énergie du soi, qui provient des mots, des pensées, des personnes ou même des choses. Un verre d'eau n'a guère d'énergie, mais une vague en a. Les deux ne sont que du H2O. Où est la logique ici, comment les états se comportent-ils entre eux ? Certains mots se répandent comme une traînée de poudre (I have a dream), d'autres se perdent dans l'espace sans être entendus. Certaines pensées changent des pays et des régions entiers (Marx - Le Capital), d'autres s'évaporent en allant aux toilettes. Certaines personnes ont une énergie propre (comme Mohammed Ali), d'autres ne peuvent pas lacer leurs chaussures elles-mêmes. Même certaines choses ont leur propre énergie, l'auto-énergie. Par exemple, une œuvre d'art particulière comme la Joconde. Des milliers de personnes veulent la voir, le tableau d'à côté passe complètement inaperçu. Et si le vide est la forme, et la forme est le vide, qu'est-ce que cela signifie dans notre vie quotidienne ? Quelle est la signification au-delà des pensées et des mots ? La première question de l'élève dans le jeu des questions-réponses avec l'enseignant était : "Sublime, quelle est la meilleure façon de diriger l'esprit ? Le Vénérable Bouddha répondit, disciple, en surmontant la souffrance. Celui qui surmonte la souffrance peut atteindre le nirvana. Mais personne ne peut aller au-delà de toute souffrance, la souffrance fera toujours partie de l'être humain. Mais la manière dont nous gérons la souffrance peut être changée. Le bien n'est pas toujours le bien, et le mal n'est pas toujours le mal. Selon la manière dont nous la considérons, avec sérénité ou dans la colère, le résultat de la considération de la même chose peut même changer complètement la chose elle-même. Le vide est la forme, et la forme est le vide. Un professeur de football talentueux a dit : "comme une bouteille vide". --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/buddha-blog-francais/message

En ce mois d'octobre 2022, Conscience Soufie a le plaisir de vous proposer un cycle dédié à Louis Massignon, pour les 60 ans de la disparition de ce chrétien islamophile. Louis Massignon (1883-1962), islamologue et professeur au Collège de France, se convertit à la mystique chrétienne dans le miroir de sa « passion » pour le soufi musulman al-Hallâj (m. 922). Il œuvra sa vie durant pour une meilleure connaissance et reconnaissance du monde arabe et de l'islam, et fut aussi un militant engagé, notamment contre la guerre d'Algérie, un fervent pèlerin et un précurseur du dialogue interreligieux, prônant la réconciliation des religions abrahamiques. En 1922, Louis Massignon soutenait sa thèse monumentale : La Passion de Hosayn-ibn-Mansoûr, al-Hallâj, martyr mystique de l'Islam, exécuté à Bagdad, le 26 mars 922, étude d'histoire religieuse, qui a fait entrer l'étude du soufisme dans le champ académique.

Remember, we welcome comments, questions and suggested topics at thewonderpodcastQs@gmail.com   S3E34 TRANSCRIPT:----more---- Yucca: Welcome back to the Wonder Science-based Paganism. I'm one of your hosts, Yucca, Mark: And I'm the other one. Mark. Yucca: and today we are talking about Cauldrons. Mark: Yeah. Yucca: yes, and welcome to October. We're here all in. The wonderful aut month, the our kind of spooky hollows is coming and here we are. So we're gonna have some great episodes this, this month. Mark: Yeah, I'm really excited about it. We've got a lot of cool stuff to talk about for the witchy month and can't wait to get started. Yucca: Yeah. So speaking of witchy, there's probably three symbols which are most associated with witch broomstick, pointy hat and cauldron. Mark: Right. Yucca: Yeah. Mark: No one will make any mistake about what you are trying to represent. If you've got those three things with you Yucca: Yep. And oh please. Mark: Well, I was gonna say, we don't have enough to say about a pointy hat to turn it into an episode, but there's plenty to talk about with a caldron. Yucca: there is, Yes. So I think a good place to start would probably be, you know, the history. What is a coldron, what's the history and why? Why it really matters, why we're interested in this symbol. Mark: Mm-hmm. well. From my standpoint, I, I think you, you really identified the main reason why we're interested in it. I mean, for those of us that gravitate towards Paganism and it's aesthetic and it's iconography in our ritual practice, those. Those standard symbols, like the cauldron become very potent. They become very influential when, when you're, when you're brewing something over a cauldron, there is very much this sense that you're doing magic, right. Yucca: Yeah. Well, and I, and I think that the association with the witch, a witch is a powerful figure. Right. And they're, they can be represented in different ways in terms of the morality of them in stories, right? Depending on who's telling the story, whether they're, you know, the good guy or the bad guy. But they're always powerful, right? They're always, they have agency. But that agency also usually is coming from them and the home. And the cauldron has this association with the home because it's a tool of the. , whether that's an outdoor kitchen around the fire or whether that was your kitchen in the home at the Hearth. Mark: Right. Yeah. I mean, Among the very earliest implementations of of any kind of cooking equipment that we're familiar with are ceramic pots that were used for cooking. Things in hot stones would be put inside a ceramic pot. And then Cereals or meat or and water or whatever. It could be stirred in that and it would boil which would sterilize it of course, but would also break down proteins in the food to make it easier to digest. And we have evidence of that going back thousands and thousands of years. Yucca: Right. Well, because there's a lot of foods that, There's a lot of plants that you might be digging up that you can't eat. Mark: right. Yucca: Right. It's not gonna, you have to cook them. And so if we were gonna be doing that, then we needed to cook them. Mark: Right, and we've had. Thousands of generations to do the experimentation to figure those things out. I mean, people talk about, you know, indigenous knowledge and indigenous healing. Well, think about all the trial and error that went into figuring that stuff out. It's like, all right, who's gonna eat the mushroom? All right, Bob's gonna eat. Oh, Bob's gone.  Yucca: Okay. Let's remember that measure. Mark: Right, But how did they ever get to the point of feeding the mushroom to reindeer and then gathering their urine? Yucca: Yeah. Mark: I mean, it's just Yucca: Well, I, We Mark: scale of Yucca: time, Yeah. The time we've been around. On the one hand, if you compare us to, Crocodiles, we've barely been around. Right. But compared to an individual human or an individual culture's memory, the, it's so, so long. Mark: Right. Yeah. 200,000 years since we really started developing culture Yucca: Or well human, at least our gen, our genius is older and you could quite, there's a lot of argument to be made that that other humans, not just homo sapiens had. Quite a bit of culture as well, Mark: Well, sure. They had the domestication of fire, which in many cases there are a lot of strong arguments to be made that the domestication of fire was. Kind of the, the launching pad for human culture. In many ways it also coincided with a rapid evolution of our brains because we were getting a lot more food value out of our food once we started cooking it. Yucca: Yeah. Mark: This is a tangent, but Yucca: Well, but we can relate it back though, because Fire and Cauldrons is that right? So we, This was planned, This was planned tangent. We can say Mark: So, yeah, the, the hearth, the, the home fire and the cooking pot sitting over it are very, very ancient symbols of of power of transformation. You know, you put those ingredients in and they, they, they come out different. They come out edible food, they come. Tasting different Yucca: smelling good. Mark: smelling good. There's, there's just all kinds of wonderful things that happen in the, the alchemy of that, that caldron. So historically, and, you know, we know that this has been a symbol for a very long time because it was already a trope when Shakespeare was writing about it. Right. You know, with, with the three witches and the double, double toil and trouble and all that. So now we inherit it today and it's become sort of a stereotype, but at the same time, a caldron is a really useful ritual implement, and we're gonna talk about ways that it, that it is useful for us. Yucca: Right, and we should say, The image that usually comes to mind when you think of a cauldron that rounded three-legged black, you know, big Iron Pot. That's one version of a Coran, right? This is, that's, we're looking at, that's coming from recent European history, but Qurans are much older and there's, you know, they're always kind of a pot shape, but we don't always see them as that round. Belly kind of shape. Sometimes we see other shapes involved. We're talking about that because that's what we associate with the witches and a lot of the kind of witch aesthetic is coming from a European aesthetic, but remembering that cultures all over the world had versions of this. Mark: Yes. Yes. And we should talk about some some variations that exist for the kinds of formats that people might. Experience as a part of you know, selecting a cauldron for themselves. We're in no way saying you need to go out and spend a couple hundred dollars on, on, you know, a pot beed, three-legged iron cauldron. They're out there, they're really cool, but Yucca: if you're into that, we're not gonna judge you on that, but yeah, you certainly don't need to. Mark: Yeah. And if we, and if we do a ritual with you and there it is, we'll go, Hey, wow. Cool. Caldron, Yucca: Yeah. Mark: But my caldron actually is not one of those, It is a Dutch oven that probably dates from the turn of the 20th century. It's got a lot of rust on it that I've never cleaned off because it's. Yucca: Mm-hmm. Mark: And it has a wire bale that I can pick up and a lid. And I've used it in lots of caldron rituals and it's, it still, it still communicates that sense of antiquity. There's something that's lovely about having a lid for it because it's sort of mysterious. You know, you put the lid on and then some, something magical happens inside it. You take the lid off and things have changed. Yucca: I think that's really interesting because I, mine are also Dutch ovens. So mine are very used dutch ovens because I have a wood stove in the home and, and yeah, I have a little propane burner as well for cooking on, but as long as we've got, cuz we do heat with wood in the winter, as long as we've got that going. I love having things up on top of it and you can also stick it into the ashes of the fire. So we've got several different sizes and kind of different shapes there for them. And there's just something about that cast iron, right? Ours are probably are new Dutch ovens. They're probably made within the last few years, but they feel like something that could be around for a very long. Mark: Right, Yucca: They, you know, they could be passed on. My grandkids or great-grandkids could literally be using these. Yeah. Mark: that is the great thing about cast iron is that. It simply doesn't wear out. We use cast iron frying pans in my house and some of them come from thrift chops where they looked hideous. I mean, they're covered with rust and conclusions and just in the worst possible shape. But you get going on, taking all that stuff off, and then Yucca: take that top layer. Yeah. Mark: And it is a perfectly good frying pan once again, and it will be for decades, if not centuries, as long as you keep it from being eaten up by oxidation. Yucca: Yeah. That's what we use all of our, our pans in the kitchen, our, our cast iron, we've got. A couple of stainless steel for boiling, like a pot or kettle stainless steel. But that's, you know, they're just beautiful. And, and some people get very snobby about the exact correct way to treat them and wash them. And, but I think that they're just super forgiving and if you mess up, then you just it, right? You just re season it again. It's great. And enjoy the things you're eating that you're seasoning it with, you know. Mark: Right. And there are some things that you make that will take the seasoning off. Like if you cook a tomato pasta sauce, for example, the, the acids in that may very well take some of the seasoning off the pan. So you put a little oil on, stick it in the oven, heat it up for a while, and you've gotta see some pan. Yucca: Yeah. Mark: So, and, and ode to to cast iron. We're big fans. Yucca: Right. Well, and so going back though to the cauldron, so we were saying that we use our, our cast iron Dutch ovens but there's a lot of Dutch ovens that are not iron. Right. And there's other things that, that would, that serve the same function that we use today. As a coulter would traditionally, So your big crock pots, right? Or your stockpot, right. We've got like this several gallon stockpot that, you know, is what I used to heat up the bath water with. And it's just, it's, it, it has that same vibe, right? And it, it's modern. It was made within the last 20 years probably, but it still does that same function and looks beautiful at the same. Mark: Mm-hmm. One of the things that is great about using a Dutch oven actually be is because they do have a lid. And what that means is that you have a little bit more control over temperature. Gradients. For example, if you've got a Dutch oven that is sitting on the fire or in the coals, the bottom of that is gonna get really hot. But the lid, you could put herbs on that to create a fragrance in your home. Or a little drop of essential oil to do the same thing. There are, if you just want to warm things, I mean, I know you can, you can warm bread and stuff like that on the, on the top of, of a dutch oven as well. So it's a very versatile tool for for a variety of uses. Yucca: and you can also put a fire right into it. Right? You could have your candle or something in that, and then. When you put your lid on afterwards, you can feel pretty secure that you're not, that you're not creating a fire hazard with that. Mark: Right, Yucca: So now it will, your lid will heat up too. So you need to be, be aware of that if you're, you are using it on the stove and, you know, not, not touch that with your bare hands, but it just, it, you could just use it in so many different ways. Mark: right. Right. And there is something about just the sight of that Dutch oven or caldron heating in a fireplace or over a stove that kind of says home and comfort and warmth and and magic, you know, the magic of the kitchen. We were talking before we were recording and I was mentioning that, you know, one of the things about about older times is that, you know, you, your, your medicines didn't come from a factory. They came from your kitchen, you know, and the caldron was a, a key. Tool for creating them. You know, you'd, you'd gather the proper herbs, you'd mash them up in a mortar and pestle, which is another classic alchemical sort of witchy, magical set of tools, and then you would brew them. Yucca: today too, Mark: Oh yeah, yeah. We, we use ours all the time. Yucca: Mm-hmm. Mark: And then, you know, brew them or toast them or, you know, whatever it is in that hot pot. So it's, It's not an accident that a, that domestic tools like the broom and the cauldron are associated with the power of the witch because that kind of ritual magic, if you will, was really the purview of the home. Yucca: Yeah. Mark: That's where it happened. Yucca: Mm-hmm. Mark: Very different than, Oh, go ahead. Yucca: I was gonna say, I still think that, I think that's still where a lot of it does, but in our very busy lives, we kind of forget about that sometimes. We're off running around, but when we come back, back home, back to center, then we go, Oh, I actually do have a lot of power from this place. Mark: Mm-hmm. . Yes. So, We've established that this is something that has been a symbol for a very long time, and it's been a, a useful tool for humans even going back into very, very ancient times. I'm sure we were heating things on hot stones long before we, you know, invented pottery or any of that kind of stuff. Yucca: Right. But as long as we've been in the neolithic. We've had something of the sort, right? Every, everybody who's doing that, who's doing the, the whole staying in one place thing, and even nomadic peoples as well could have things that they were, you know, packing up and bringing with them. Yeah. Mark: right. And we've established that cast iron is good. Yucca: yes. Yay for cast iron. Mark: Big fans of cast iron. Why don't we talk a little bit about the kinds of ritual things that you can do with a caldron Yucca: Hmm. Okay. Well I think we could start with the incorporating what you would be doing with it to begin with, just on a mundane level and adding some ritual and meaning into that. So in this case it, it might be your Dutch oven, but it also might be your stockpot on the stove. Right. What are you doing and why are you doing that? Right? So can you add something, Can you have a, a moment when you add in that salt or whatever it is that you're adding in, that you, that you take a moment and have just set an intention with that, right? Mark: Yeah, the adding of seasoning and spices I think is a great opportunity for metaphorically adding magic into whatever it is that you're cooking. Spices are. Spices are kind of magical substances when you think about it. I mean, they are the unique pesticides that various plants have evolved in order to defend themselves from insects mostly. And in some cases from fungal infections and stuff like that. Yucca: and small mammals and Mark: Sure, yeah. If they, Yucca: And us too. It's just, we're so big , right? They're, they're technically poisons, right? They're toxins that they produce because they don't wanna be eaten every, everybody wants to survive and reproduce and they can't get up and run, run away the way an animal can or bite you, but they can make themselves poisonous. Mark: Yes. And they can make themselves taste bad, but Yucca: But we ended up liking Mark: amounts, yes. In small amounts. You're, you're a regno and your terragon and your sage and your onions, and. Yucca: Yeah. Mark: All those wonderful things. Garlic, I mean, they, they give us wonderful, good feelings and very complex flavors that give us a lot of pleasure. So when casting those things into a cooking pot, we can be setting intentions, we can be stirring them in as meaning, you know,  Yucca: It would be lovely if you made your own labels and added them to the spice jars. Maybe not covering up what they are. If you need to know which is, which is your cayenne and which is your cinnamon, you wanna know the difference, right? But if you put your label on that, you know, Oh, well this one is love, right? And this one is creativity. You know, when you're putting in your love and creativity and all of those things that you see that every time. Reach for that spice jar. Mark: I love that idea. That's a great idea. And it would be a really fun project actually, to do with kids to create the labels. Yucca: Yeah. And you could do, You could put them on in ritual too. Mark: Right? Right. Yucca: And even, No even grown up kids. Right. Mark: Oh yeah. I. Yucca: kids of whatever ages. Mark: I would want to be a part of it for sure. Yucca: Yeah. Mark: So we can do caldron magic in the course of just using the caldron for the purpose, for an ordinary cooking purpose. Yucca: Mm-hmm. Mark: We can also dispense with anything in the cauldron except fire. We can, we can burn. We can burn fire, burn wood, or you know, whatever it is that don't burn anything toxic because then you're not gonna want to use it for cooking ever again. Yucca: and you wanna be able to be around. You don't wanna breathe and smoke in general, but you wanna be really careful about what it is that you're burning. So you don't wanna be burning like synthetic fabrics or something like that, that really could be very toxic to you. If you get a little wolf of whiff of wood smoke, it's not great, but you know, it's, it's not gonna be quite as much of an issue as burning plastics. Mark: Right, right. Yeah. So, a flaming caldron is something that we, I've used many times in rituals and you can, you can feed stuff that you want to destroy or dispense with in the form of. Little pieces of wood that you've invested your intention on or written the message on what you mean. You can do that with slips of paper. You can do that with Little symbols that are flammable of, of some kind. So that's sort of the destructive approach to a flaming cauldron. But you can also do it with wishes. You can inscribe something hope hoped for, that you want to, The smoke will go up into the sky and inform whatever powers are up there and, and they'll put in an order for you. Yucca: Or thinking of it as this is fuel, right? This is, this is the fuel for the fire. That, that whatever it is burning inside of you, right? What is it that you want to feed into your fire to, for you to continue to grow and do all of these, you know, passionate, wonderful things, whatever it is that you are focused on. Mark: Right, And in the case of a ritual like that, I really encourage people to use low tech methods of actually lighting the fire. So that it, it takes a little effort, right? You know, whether that's a flint and steel or I, I don't recommend lighting a fire with a bow because it's an incredible amount of work. And it, you can have disappointing results while you're trying to light your inspiration. Fire. Yucca: Yeah. Well if, if you do, you might wanna practice that ahead of time and be, and get really good at it. Right. Just knowing that it is a skill that takes a lot of work. Mark: Yes. Yucca: Yeah. Mark: But there is, there is something to be said to something more than just flicking a lighter and . Suddenly there is flame. Yucca: Yeah. Well, and it, and you know, if you don't have access to one of those matches, right? There's something more, I, I find there's something very satisfying about striking the match as opposed to just the lighter. Although there are some really cool lighters. We were given one of those arc lighters. Mark: I have one I use it for, for my alter, my focus all the time. Yucca: Yeah, I feel so sci-fi, whenever I use Mark: Yeah. Yucca: like, yeah. It's just really nice and it's USB chargeable, so we just like plug it in and don't have to, I've got lots of lighters and matches all over the place because I don't wanna ever. Want to be lighting a fire and be shivering and being like, Where are my matches? Where are my lighters? But those are fun, but you know, there's matches. And there's also, I don't know what they're actually called, but you know, the ones we'd use in lab class for bunsen burners? The, Mark: Oh, those little pizza, electric things that, Yucca: Yeah, there's silver and you Mark: spark. Yucca: Yeah. Those are, you know, when you have a more. Just an out of the ordinary or kind of fun way of starting the fire. There's a little something extra to it. Mark: Right, right. There are these striker, they're, they're sort of like flint and steel. They're these sort of striker sticks that you scrape sparks off of onto like cotton or something, which will light on fire. And those are pretty neat for starting a fire too. I don't know what they're called exactly either, but they're you can get them in camping stores. Yucca: Okay. Mark: add to a survival Yucca: Oh, I think I've seen them and they, You can like put them on a key chain or something like that. Yeah, Yeah. Now you gotta be patient with anything like that that doesn't have a sustained flame because you're trying to catch that. Spark, Mark: Yeah. Yucca: like if you have like a little cotton swab from the bathroom, like those are really good and you maybe half of it, you dip into olive oil and the other half you leave open so that then it starts to burn the oil. And there's a lot of, that's another thing that you could do fire related is little fat lamps, little fat, an oil lamps. Those are really fun. Mark: Right. Yucca: This year the kids and I So they're, they're softa. So my stepmother lives up on our, where we do as well and is really into finding the, the clay here and fire making things and firing it. So they made little oil lamps. Yeah, so they made little oil lamps and we've been using lard in them and they worked remarkably well and doesn't smell like a fast food restaurant. I was very happy for that. Mark: That's amazing. Yeah, we've used NAEA uses Tao quite a bit in cooking and Yucca: how, Mark: Yeah, so we've, we've, I've used that sometimes as sort of an accelerant for a fire to get started, but, okay, so that's the fire inside the cauldron. That's one whole set of things you can do. Yucca: Mm-hmm. Mark: Then there's the adding ingredients into the cauldron kind of. The, the classic example of that is stone soup, where everybody brings an ingredient and you start with water or stock. Could be vegetable stock, could be chicken, Yucca: Mm-hmm. , b flam, whatever you have Mark: Whatever you Yucca: and whatever matches your, your dietary approaches. Yeah. Mark: Right. And then people add ingredients and the whole thing becomes soup. Which. Is a lot more satisfying than it sounds. There is, there is really something wonderful about the kind of ceremonial, adding by a whole lot of different people of what they in particular have brought to add to a given dish. And then it's all put together, it's cooked, and then it's distributed out to everyone to enjoy. There's something very poetic about that, that process. Yucca: Yeah. Hmm. Mark: And then you can also do sort of magical potions, which aren't meant to be ingested, Yucca: Right. Mark: With whatever ingredients you feel are necessary. Now, bear in mind, cast iron is a little bit porous, Yucca: Yeah. So if you're gonna eat from it again, you don't wanna be putting non edible things in there, Mark: right? Right. You know, no Mercury Yucca: Yeah. Or I, I don't know why this one's coming to mind, but shampoo. Right, because shampoo, like there's really good smelling shampoos that'll bubble up really nicely. Like you could do some really kind of fun smelling and looking things with, with soap shampoos and soaps and stuff like that. But you don't want, you don't want that in your mouth. Mark: No. Yucca: And that's gonna spoil whatever you try and cook in there next. Right? If you get it out cuz you, you're not feeling well and you need that good soup, you know, And then, Oh, shampoo soup. Mark: it's, this is Lemon Sented shampoo. Oh, dear. Yucca: Yeah. But if it's one that you are using only for ritual and decorative purposes, that's very different. Mark: Right? Yucca: Right. Mark: Yeah.  Yucca: I suppose you could put line it with foil or something like that, but it's kind of taken a risk. Mark: You know, if you really want a sort of bubbly, frosty effect I would just go for the dry ice, you know, put a little little layer of water in the bottom of the cauldron set in a block of dry ice. You'll get abundant fog pouring out of it. It'll look really cool. If you want to change the color, you can break a light stick and drop it in there. So that you've got like a green fog coming out or, Yucca: but that you cannot use for food again. Mark: Oh, I. Yucca: a light stick. Mark: I didn't mean to Yucca: Oh, good. Okay. You mean snap it so it activates? Mark: it so it activates Yeah. And drop it in there. Yucca: Well, and with the dry ice, there's nothing to clean up afterwards, which is really nice. Right. If when it come, it billows out, you know, might get things, you know, little damp, but not, you know, you're not gonna have to be mopping anything or cleaning anything up. Mark: right. Be sure you've got good ventilation. Yucca: Yes. Mark: Dry ice is co2. CO2 is poisonous. That's why we breathe it out because we don't use it. Yucca: Yeah. Mark: you just wanna make sure that you've got good ventilation in the room so that you don't get overcome by CO2 and pass out. Yucca: Right, Because if we, I mean, we breathe CO2 in and breathe it back out, but the problem is it's not oxygen. It isn't the same as carbon monoxide, which is really problematic for us because our bodies confuses that with oxygen and then it basically makes us suffocate. But co2, Yeah. That sort of thing you might wanna be doing either outside or with making sure you have the windows open, but yeah. And also when you're doing, going back to the fire, one being mindful about what size is your flame going to be, Right. If you're lighting a little candle inside of your little cauldron, The kitchen, you're probably fine, but if you're pouring something in Mark, you have a, Don't you have a story about a Mark: Oh yes, Yucca: flame that came out Mark: the flame vortex. Yucca: Yeah. That you wanna be outside for, with, you know, appropriate fire or safety equipment. Yeah. Go. So what happens with your Mark: Well, what What happened was we did a ritual where we burned some intentions for the coming year, and the caldron was sitting on top of. Coals and there was still some flame there. So the bottom of the, the cauldron was very warm. And what we did was afterwards we poured in two bottles simultaneously, two bottles of cheap red wine. And it was hot enough that the wine boiled on contact with the bottom of the pan, which we assumed was going to happen for the first little bit that we poured in. And then, Yucca: you gonna make mold wine or something? Is the Okay? Mark: Yes. And, and mold wide, which included the ashes of the Yucca: beautiful. Mm-hmm. Mark: had, you know, been. Been burning there, and then we could all have a sip. Well, what ended up happening was that the entire pot boiled, it boiled off the alcohol and the alcohol lit on fire, and created this sort of fire tornado that extended up maybe three feet above the, the lid of the, or the edge of the cauldron. And it did that for about 20 seconds. So what we ended up drinking had no alcohol in it for one thing, and it wasn't particularly tasty because it had been boiled also. But it's a pretty cool effect if you, if you wanna do that again, it just don't do it indoors. Yucca: Do it outdoors to have all of your, you know, your fire extinguisher or whatever you need Yeah. To put it out. Right. And maybe not, you know. Not near a bunch of, you know, brush and all of that. Mark: Yeah. Or overhanging branches, which is the thing that people often forget because the picture in their mind is of a fire that is, you know, a nice contained fire that only leaps up about a foot above whatever the container is. But sometimes fires get a mind of their own and they, they get bigger than that and then they can start to. The, the tree branches that are over the top. So you need to be, you need to be careful with fire, Yucca: Yeah. And you know, whatever the safety is in your area, check, check with your county regulations. Is there a fire ban on at the moment and all of that because you don't wanna burn your, your neighborhood down. So yeah, Mark: Yeah. Yucca: of those, those interesting. We have this lovely, beautiful relationship with it spanning back literally millions of years, but it's also extremely destructive. Mark: It's very dangerous. The fact that we were able to domesticate this incredibly dangerous chemical process is really a testament to courage in our, in our ancestry, honestly, because when we first got it, it was probably burning trees that have been struck by lightning Yucca: Mm-hmm. Mark: and you know, I would think you probably wouldn't wanna go near a tree that had been struck by lightning in case it got struck again. Right. Yucca: Yeah, and it's still, you know, can still be hot. The, the kids and I are reading some Greek mythology right now and we actually just were reading about Prometheus and my oldest asked, Well, mom, why was Sue so mad about fire? What's the big deal about giving humans fire? When we had to go through all the things that fire can do, how powerful Mark: Mm-hmm. Yucca: it made people, they went, Oh, okay. Still doesn't seem like a fair consequence. Mark: Well, yeah, e Eternal torment never seems like a fair consequence. . So, yeah. Yucca: they were very sympathetic to poor Prometheus, so yeah. Mark: So, the last kind of ritual that I can think of is the kind of potion making where. Where you're, you're mixing something up, which you're then going to pour off into jars or into, you know, like if you're making spell jars for example, and there's particular ingredients that you want in all of them. So you mix up sort of a, a formula of what all those different elements are, and then you can pour them off into jars and maybe add material items before closing them and sealing them. Yucca: What would be an example of a type of, of ritual that you would do with one of these s. Mark: I haven't done a whole lot of spell jar rituals myself, but I know of people that have done like spell jar protection symbols for their, for their land, Yucca: So they would bury it in the four corners or. Mark: Right. Yeah. Bury those, you know, at the boundaries in order to, well, realistically speaking in order to help them feel more protected.  Yucca: Well, that's the point of the ritual, right? Mark: that's the point of the ritual. Exactly. I mean, many of the magical rituals that have been implemented over human history have been to try to get control over stuff that we don't have control. Yucca: Mm-hmm. Mark: It just helps us feel better and that's fine. There's, there's nothing wrong with that. There's, it's absolutely a great thing to do. So, for example, if you had You know, water from a particular well and maybe some river water and some ocean water and some wine and some, I don't know. I'm trying to think of, you know, a few drops of blood. Whatever you wanted to put in there. You could stir all that up together. Add in whatever other. Miscellaneous ingredients felt like the right thing to do and then could decant out of the caldron. But you, you get to do that big stirring motion on the caldron, right? That, that wonderful double, double toil and trouble kind of thing. And so you can chant over it, you can sing over it, you can you can do that solo or you can do that with a group. Everybody can get a turn to do the stirring. I've seen that before. And then you pour off into the jars and put in items. I, I know that historically spell jars have been found that are full of nails, Yucca: Okay. Mark: that are sort of meant to protect against stuff, right? Put these sharp objects in to protect people from from what they don't want to contend with. Yucca: Well, brainstorming as, as you were talking about that everybody putting something in. Maybe one thing you could do is if you're with a group or you could do it on your own, having a, a jar that you're preparing for later when you're having a hard time, Mark: Mm-hmm. Yucca: the, oh, you know, here's the, all the, the friendship and joy and, and sense of connection and, you know, there's gonna be a day when I'm feeling alone and I need to, to open that up. To remember that, you know, I have this connection and this appreciation for the community or, or a day where, where you put patients into the jar. So when you're all out of patience, you can, you have a jar, patience stored on that back shelf that you can open up, right? Mark: Mm-hmm. Yucca: Things like that. Mark: Yeah. You could pour what's in there as a libation for a, a plant or just onto the earth as a way of releasing its power. And then you have a jar that you can refill again and do another spell with, I have patients in knots. Yucca: Ah Mark: so when I really need it, I can untie one of the knots on my patient's string and let some patients out. Yucca: hm. Mark: It at least gives me something to do other than reacting angrily in the, in the immediate term, cuz the knots are pretty tight, so it takes a while to get 'em undone. Yucca: Mm-hmm. . And do you have a time when you go back through and retie everything Mark: I haven't had to do that yet. I think I've got four or five knots left on my, on my patient's string. But yeah, we did that in the, in a ritual of the Saturday morning mixer, Atheopagan mixer that we do on Zoom. So. I found it useful. I've actually used it twice but I'm sure there will come a time when it's empty and I've gotta refill it. Yucca: Yeah. Hmm. Well, these have been, these have been fun to think about different ideas to do with Colton, and of course there's, you know, there's so many more that we didn't mention.  Mark: Right. Yeah. The, the wonderful thing about having a, a ritual practice is that it's re it's everything that your imagination can come up with. Yucca: Mm-hmm. Mark: And of course, we like to swap our ideas so that we can take advantage of others imagination as well. And I hope that some of the ideas that we've talked about here today are helpful to you. But if you don't have some kind of a. Big cooking receptacle really encourage you to, to consider adding that to your magical tools. It's it, it really is a, a very useful thing both for individual work and for group rituals. Yucca: Right. And beautiful. Mark: Mm-hmm. Yucca: Right? Depending on your style, I know some people like to. Put their, their ritual tools away and wrap them in the beautiful cloths and things like that. And, and some people like to have them out on display because they like looking at them and they make them feel good when they see it. So it's both completely valid approaches. It just depends on what, what works for you. Mark: Right, Right. Yeah. So there you have. Caldron in non FIAs pagan practice. Pretty cool. Yucca: Yeah, Mark: I'm so glad it's October. Yucca: me too. Well, thank you for another great discussion and we will be back to see or talk with all of you next week Mark: Yeah, thanks everybody. Yucca: I believe. Mark: Oh yes. Talking about death. Yucca: Yes, it's October, Mark: Gotta do it. Yucca: All right. Thanks everyone. Mark: Bye bye.

C'est pour cela que l'accent est souvent mis sur l'importance de sa lecture, sa mémorisation, et de sa compréhension. Cependant, le rôle de la parole divine est avant tout d'assainir nos coeurs, de transformer nos vies et de permettre une connexion profonde avec Allah dans tous les aspects de nos quotidiens. Posons-nous alors la question : Quelle est la dernière fois où nous avons ressenti que le Coran a eu un effet transformateur en nous ?

Née en 1986 à Moroni, aux Comores, Touhfat Mouhtare a grandi entre son île et plusieurs pays d'Afrique subsaharienne. Venue en France pour y poursuivre ses études, elle vit aujourd'hui dans le Val-d'Oise. Elle est l'autrice de deux livres publiés aux Comores : un recueil de nouvelles, Âmes suspendues (Coelacanthe, 2011), et un roman, Vert cru (KomEdit, 2018, mention spéciale du prix du Livre insulaire au salon d'Ouessant).   « Jeune servante dans la ville d'Itsandra, aux Comores, Gaillard grandit sous la protection de deux figures parentales : son maître, qui lui enseigne le Coran, et sa mère adoptive, qui lui conte les légendes héritées de ses ancêtres esclaves venus de l'autre côté de la mer. Un jour, dans le bois d'Ahmad, Gaillard rencontre Halima, jeune fille bien née qui tente d'échapper à un mariage forcé. Elles deviennent amies, au point qu'avant de rentrer se soumettre à la volonté paternelle, Halima confie à Gaillard un petit objet qu'elle devra conserver sans jamais le montrer. Dix ans plus tard, alors que Gaillard a subi une terrible mutilation, les destins des jeunes femmes se croisent à nouveau. Halima révèle les secrets du précieux objet : il renferme un savoir enfoui dans la mémoire du monde et détient le pouvoir de les faire voyager à travers l'espace et le temps, en quête de ce qu'elles sont vraiment. Dans ce roman de formation à la poésie limpide, Touhfat Mouhtare mêle un réalisme cru, une imagination luxuriante et une spiritualité bienveillante pour tresser une fabuleuse ode à l'amour et à la liberté. » (Présentation des éditions Le bruit du monde) ♦ BONUS : à écouter l'extrait inédit où Touhfat Mouhtare raconte la légende des Cinq princes :   ♦ CHRONIQUE « Books » par Baptiste Touverey qui présente son article intitulé Arthur, Lancelot et tous les autres à propos de la publication du volume Les Chevaliers de la Table ronde, romans arthuriens, présenté par Martin Aurelle et Michel Pastoureau (Gallimard).

En Tunisie, vient de paraître dans la collection Sud Savoirs un livre unique en son genre : La grande saga du Boire, entre histoire et anthropologie de l'essayiste Kamel Grar. L'auteur propose une approche nuancée et complexe du boire à travers les siècles, dans ses dimensions historiques, religieuses, anthropologiques et politiques, notamment en terre d'Islam. RFI : Votre livre évoque entre autres le fait du boire en terre d'islam, êtes-vous conscient que vous vous attaquez à un tabou ? Kamel Grar : Absolument, puisque ce sujet est encore tabou. Moi j'essaie d'attaquer cette thématique d'un point de vue anthropologique, mon objectif est de donner de nouveaux éclairages par rapport à cette thématique qui me semble être très importante et tout aussi actuelle. Vous vous attardez quand même sur le débat, toujours inachevé : si l'islam a interdit l'alcool totalement ou partiellement ? J'ai essayé de relever dans mon ouvrage quasiment toutes les thématiques en liaison avec ces interdits. Je n'ai pas des idées tranchées par rapport à cela. Mais à partir de lectures poussées et à partir aussi d'une documentation que j'ai regroupée, a priori, je dis bien a priori, à partir des lectures de pas mal d'intellectuels contemporains (Mohamed Talbi, Malek Chebel, de Youssef Seddik) qui ont repensé une lecture méthodologique de cette question éternelle, et toujours actuelle : est-ce que l'islam a interdit l'alcool ? Je dis bien ou pas. Je pense que les recherches contemporaines, même de la part d'islamologues confirmés, ont tendance à dire que l'islam n'a jamais interdit l'alcool. C'est plutôt l'islam, à une époque donnée, a essayé de trouver une solution à une problématique sociale qui préexistait du temps de Mahomet, de l'époque préislamique. Vous écrivez : « à côté de la respiration, boire est la plus essentielle de toutes les fonctions vitales du corps humain, c'est encore plus important que de manger ». Également dans l'une de vos citations, vous affirmez que l'alcool nous a sauvés de l'extinction… Il est vrai que l'alcool, mis à part ses fonctions thérapeutiques etc, a sauvé, disons, l'humanité dans le sens où le fait de boire dans les civilisations anciennes et à ce jour, c'est un acte fondateur, c'est un rite social accompli, qui permet à des communautés de vivre ensemble, de communiquer ensemble, et tout naturellement à s'unir ou à se désunir en fonction des circonstances historiques et de l'évolution des choses. Dans la grande saga du boire, vous faites remarquer que la croissance de l'idéologie jihadiste dans la région s'accompagne paradoxalement d'une augmentation notable de la consommation d'alcool ? Oui, c'est l'une des déductions majeures que j'ai pu faire. Dans le sens où dans des territoires conquis par ceux qu'on appelle communément les jihadistes, salafistes et autres, que ce soit en Syrie, en Libye, au Soudan et même ailleurs, nous avons constaté avec des chiffres à l'appui que cela s'est accompagné d'une certaine razzia par rapport à tout ce qui est boire, par tout ce qui est commerce de l'alcool, la contrebande de l'alcool, c'était l'un des grands moyens de financement pour leurs activités répréhensibles. Vous consacrez tout un chapitre aux lieux du boire, qu'en est-il du boire au paradis ? Justement, ce n'est pas le boire au paradis, c'est plutôt en terre d'islam, il y a un grand paradoxe, c'est qu'il y a un paradis de confisqué finalement. C'est que d'un côté et le Coran, et le prophète et les célèbres interprétateurs de la religion, nous disent qu'au départ, le vin coule à flot au paradis, et que de l'autre côté à partir de la première période du règne mahométan à la Mecque, mais juste après et là bien sûr il y a des considérations stratégiques, voire militaires à prendre en compte, c'est qu'on a changé d'avis, et quand on a changé d'avis, il y a tous les prêcheurs du monde, musulmans, et là c'est devenu hyper interdit, hyper dangereux et pour la santé et pour l'âme et donc on nous a quelque peu trahis avec cette histoire-là.

In our 93rd podcast we interview the amazing character designer, Coran Kizer Stone. Coran has an amazing style when it comes to character design, and has worked for DreamWorks Animation, Sony Pictures Animation, Hasbro, Marvel, and Warner Bros Animation. He's worked on such IP's as Spider-Man, Batman, Young Justice, and Transformers. He's extremely creative, as you can see via his online presence, where you can view his many unique takes on beloved characters. He had a very interesting story on how he even got in to this industry. Give this a listen and let us know what you think.

Au Tchad, on les appelle les mahadjirines, l'équivalent des talibés d'Afrique de l'Ouest. Envoyés en ville par des familles débordées des provinces, ils tâchent de récupérer de quoi subsister, parfois sous l'autorité de marabouts peu scrupuleux. Un phénomène qui prend de l'ampleur et contre lequel les autorités et les associations comme le Réseau des associations pour la protection des enfants au Tchad (Reaspet) ont peu de moyens de lutter.  De notre envoyé spécial à Ndjamena, À chaque carrefour ou zones passantes de Ndjamena, ce sont des grappes d'enfants qui tendent leurs écuelles, dans l'espoir d'obtenir quelques billets. Près du petit marché d'Ardep-Djoumbal, le long de l'avenue Goukouni Weddeye, en plein cœur de la ville, un petit groupe de cinq d'entre eux prend quelques minutes pour nous voir à l'invitation du Réseau des associations pour la protection des enfants au Tchad. Ousmane, Mahamat, Alam et leurs copains ont entre 8 et 12 ans, ils sont originaires de la région de Dagana, au nord de la capitale. Leurs voix sont si fluettes qu'elles sont couvertes par le bruit de la circulation, leur timidité si maladive qu'il est difficile d'obtenir quelques mots de leur part. Nous faisons la mendicité ici, au marché, avec nos tasses, on appelle à la charité des passants. L'objectif c'est de ramener au marabout de notre centre 250 francs par jour. Mais si on y parvient pas, on ne nous fait pas de problèmes. Moi, je suis ici en ville depuis 1 an, je suis venu de mon village dans le Dagana, vers Massakori. On nous a envoyé ici pour apprendre le saint coran, c'est tout ce qu'on sait, c'est notre objectif, et nous ne savons pas combien de temps nous allons rester.Des enfants venus de toutes les régions du Tchad et de pays voisins Leur marabout se prénomme Gouni Yaya. Il accueille dans son centre entre 200 et 300 jeunes de 8 à 30 ans, à qui il apprend le texte sacré. Ils viennent de toutes les régions du pays, certains ont fuit le Nigeria voisin. « Je cherche la bénédiction de Dieu dans ce que je fais », explique Gouni Yaya. « Je gagne ma vie au pressing, je tire mes revenus de cela, et après les enfants doivent essayer de ramener 250, 300 francs qu'ils me donnent, et on tâche de se nourrir avec ça. » Puis il poursuit : « Quand les jeunes sont adolescents, certains partent, retrouvent leur famille, d'autres restent, ils trouvent du travail, font du ménage, participent, mais souvent ils préfèrent rester avec moi et étudier le Coran. Dans la religion, amener son enfant vers une éducation religieuse est importante, la lecture du Coran, c'est important, c'est la base de l'éducation et de la culture. » Responsabiliser les parents, y compris devant les tribunaux S'il n'existe pas de statistiques du nombre d'enfants contraints de mendier au Tchad, l'augmentation de la population du pays et le peu de ressources disponibles contraignent les familles les plus précaires à envoyer leurs enfants en ville dans des centres d'étude du coran. Chez certains, cela s'apparente à une véritable exploitation accompagnée de violences physiques.  Le pays manque notamment de familles et de centres d'accueil et de réinsertion. La police, elle, ne lutte pas contre la mendicité, pourtant interdite depuis les années 1960 dans le code pénal. Ahmat Mahamat Hissène, ancien ministre de la Justice, connaît bien le sujet puisqu'il fut lui-même un mahadjirine. Il insiste sur la nécessité de responsabiliser les parents, y compris devant les tribunaux. « C'est l'expression de la misère, de la pauvreté et des privations. Si les parents sont sanctionnés par la non-prise en compte de la responsabilité de leur progéniture, s'il y a des cas comme cela, traduits devant les tribunaux, je crois que cela pourrait être un bon signe pour conscientiser les parents », martèle l'ancien ministre. Conscientiser les parents, mais attention, le phénomène est avant tout le résultat d'un concentré de pauvreté, prévient l'ancien ministre.

My name is Austin Adams. Thank you so much for listening today. This is episode number 30 of the red pill revolution podcast. And again, thank you so much for listening. Uh, pretty excited about this conversation we're going to have today. It is all surrounding, you know, a little bit in the Memorial day theme here, we are going to be discussing all of, uh, some really incredible stories surrounding some of the medal of honor recipients from our great nation here in the United States of America.   Um, I know we have some people listening abroad, but there's some really incredible stories. Some really incredible people that we're going to highlight to. Uh, so I'm really excited to get into this. A few of the names that we're going to be going over is Kyle Carpenter, Dakota Meyer Salvatore. Gianatta John Chapman, Thomas Paine.   And then we got a sprinkle of some Jocko Willink in here to bowl the, get us into the episode and an outro to the episode. So I think that's the, I don't think you can get any more American than jockowillink. So let's go ahead and jump into this clip here. A little bit of a, some Memorial day United States pride here, here is Jocko Willink   in a country that most people would struggle to find on a map in a compound that few possess the courage to enter men from my previous life. Took the fight to our enemy in that compound, they found men that pray five times a day for your destruction. Those praying men don't know me. They don't know you.   And they don't know America. They don't understand our compassion, our freedoms and our tolerance. I know it may seem as if some of those things are currently missing, but they remain at our core and always will. Those men don't care about your religious beliefs. They don't care about your political opinions.   They don't care if you sit on the left or the right liberal or conservative pacifist or war. They don't care. How much you believe in diversity, equality or freedom of speech. They don't care. Sorry. You've never felt the alarm bells ringing in your body. The combination of fear and adrenaline as you move towards the fight instead of running from it.   Sorry, you've never heard someone cry out for help or cried out for help yourself. Relying on the courage of others to bring you home.   I'm sorry. You've never tasted the salt from your own tears. As you stand at flag draped, coffins bearing men, you were humbled to call your friends.   I don't wish those experiences on you.   But I do wish them had them.   if you had them, it would change the way you act, who would change the way you value. It would change the way you appreciate. You would become quick to open your eyes and slow to open your mouth.   Most will never understand the sacrifice required to keep evil men like those from that distant compound away from our doorstep. But it would not hurt you to try and understand would not hurt you to take a moment to think of the relentless drain on family, friends, and loved ones that are left behind sometimes for weeks, sometimes for months, sometimes for years.   Sometimes forever   ideas are not protected by words, paper and ink may outline the foundation and principles of this nation, but it is blood only blood that protects it   in that dusty compound. A man you have never met, gave everything he had so that you have the freedom to think, speak and act. However you choose.   He went there for all of us, whether you loved or hated what he stood for. He went there to preserve the opportunity and privilege, to believe, to be, and to become what we want.   this country, every single person living inside of its borders and under the banner of its flag. Oh, that man, we owe that man, everything. We owe him the respect that his sacrifice deserves saying, thank you is not enough. We send our best and lose them in the fight against the worst evil this world has to offer.   If you want to respect and honor their sacrifice, it needs to be more than words. You have to live. Take a minute and look around, soak it in the good, the bad and the ugly. You have the choice every day as to which category you want to be in, in which direction you want to move, you have that choice because the best among us, the best we ever had to offer, fought, and bled and died for it.   Don't ever forget that.   Wow. Well, what a way to start the show today? Uh, definitely hit me in my fields, Jocko Willink. They're just kind of outlining what this day is about, right? Th th the Memorial day is, is, you know, shrouded with barbecue grills and, and beach parties with the family and, you know, and all that's amazing and all of that's great.   And I'm sure every soldier who has ever sacrificed his, his life would have wanted it that way. Right? We're, we're, we're celebrating life, not just, you know, being, uh, having sorrow for those that we have lost, but it doesn't take away from the fact that we have to remember what the day's about. You know, we have to remember the reason that we are able to even have this type of weekend and the true reason behind that, which is soldiers who have lost their lives for us to have the freedoms that we have here in the United States.   Now over the last few episodes that, you know, I'm sure it seems like we've had, we've had a tough go here in the United States, you know, the last, the last several months, the last couple of years, even. Um, but I don't think that takes away from, from something that I found pretty powerful in that statement that Jocko Willink just said was that the, the piece of paper is what defines who our country is.   But the blood of the individuals who are willing to defend it is truly what matters in that really rings true. And I think we're going to see that today with a lot of the individuals that we're going to hear their stories and know that they're just everyday people, everyday people just like you and me who decided to go into the military for one reason or another.   Um, but generally, because they're a Patriot because they believe in what our country stands for. And this is something that I've had to wrestle with recently. Right? I am a veteran myself. I am not a combat veteran, so I did not have the experience that these individuals have had. Um, but you know, something that we, we have to remind ourselves during this time is that there is truly a unique individual who's willing to run to the fight.   And every single story that we hear of here is not only the individuals who signed that line, not only the individuals who picked up a weapon and went overseas and left their families, left their children, left their, their, their significant others left everything behind, just so they could S could go and fight for what they believe in.   Right. And that's kind of what I was getting at before, which is that, you know, it's, it's difficult. It's, it's easy to look at all of the flaws that we have in the United States here today. It's easy to look at, you know, the, the political divide in the partisan divides that we have in, in kind of just, uh, you know, diminish what these great men have done for us.   But, but that's, that's such a shallow viewpoint. Right? And, and the reason that these men signed that, that line is not because they believe in the politicians. It's not because they believe. You know, they, they believe in who we are as a nation. They believe in the individuals that are around them. They believe in the, that piece of paper that Jocko Willink just talked about, right.   The constitution, which was written as a, a literal divide between totalitarianism, that we're seeing all across the world right now in almost every so many. So many countries are dealing with, with this totalitarian states, you look at China, you, you look at the way that they're just ripping people off of their streets and like these like home alone, white jumpsuits and, and you know, for how long we've looked at these different countries and thought that just, it could never be like that here.   Well, why is that? Well, that's because of two reasons, two reasons why that is. And the first reason. We have our constitution. Our constitution is, is the founding document of our nation that allows us to have a, a literal defense against individuals who are in the political system, who are trying to take as much power as possible.   The constitution stops us from having people who can go in and become the system. There was already a set system that is out there. There was already a outline of the way that we have to act in the separation of powers and all of these individual things that make it, that, that were pre thought out, knowing that politicians are.   Dirty knowing that politicians are generally corruptible, knowing that people are flawed, right. And that's truly what it is, is people are flawed. And to know that people are flooding and to implement an institution in a piece of paper, a founding document with our constitution, which will allow us to have a literal divide, a literal wall, a defense against those corruptible individuals who seek power in the easiest way to go find it, which is through the political system.   So that is number one. We have our constitution, which is a actual defensive wall against those corruptible individuals on the inside. And that is the number one thing that we have to protect ourselves from. If we're going to remain a free country. Now, number two, which is equally as important is to have, is that what we have the fortune of having here in the United States is the greatest military power in the world.   The greatest military power in the history of. Right. And that doesn't protect us from the inside more than it protects us from the outside. So to allow us to maintain this organization, to maintain this, this ongoing freedom away from other totalitarian individuals who are wanting to come in and push their political agendas, whether they're from, you know, foreign or domestic, right.   Is, is that what you raise your hand? I promise to defend in the country from foreign and domestic enemies, the foreign aspect of that is where the military comes into play. Right. And, and the military is just a broken. A list of individual names who are willing to put themselves, put their lives on the line to make these things happen.   So let's go ahead and let's jump into the very first clip here that we have, which is actually the, so let's do a little bit of background on the, the medal of honor. So all of these individuals that we're highlighting today, our medal of honor recipients. Now it is Memorial day. Some of these individuals, I believe even most of them are not deceased, which is definitely a positive thing.   Um, but just so you know, that. And this is Memorial day, but I am highlighting medal of honor. Right? So the medal of honor is the very first, uh, it was, it was the very first, um, distinguishing factor for the American military  so, uh, Abraham Lincoln implemented the medal of honor, and it's kind of just, it been the most distinguished honor that you can have, uh, being a part of the military.   All right. Now the structure of this with the medal of honor is that you actually have to either get a congressional, um, a Congressman has to put your name down for the medal of honor or your chain of command. So those are two different ways that you can get a medal of honor. So far there's been around 3,500 medal of honor recipients.   Most of those medal of honor recipients were at the very beginning. Like I think it's like 80% of the medal of honor recipients were towards the very, very beginning of when the medal of honor was, uh, was made. And so since then the requirements to receive the medal of honor has gone up and, and become much more, uh, Distinguished in, in there's a lot more, um, I guess, uh, I dunno, there's a lot, there's a lot more, um, specific things that you have to boxes.   You have to check to get the medal of honor, as opposed to what it was like before. So a vast, vast majority came at the very beginning of when the medal of honor was made in the early 18 hundreds. Okay. So there's the background for it now, since then the most recent, uh, requirements change was in 1963, I believe where they began to make these requirements more stringent and you see less and less of these medal of honors today.   So the very first one that we're going to watch here is of Kyle Carpenter. Kyle Carpenter is an incredible story. He's actually the youngest medal of honor recipient ever. Um, it's truly, truly an incredible story. I don't want to take anything away from it for you guys here, so let's go ahead and listen to it.   And then we will discuss.   I joined the Marine Corps because I wanted to devote my life. My body, if need be to something greater than myself or any one individual   in 2010, I deployed with second battalion ninth Marines to Marsha Afghanistan. We were constantly attacked, just like we were every single day for the entire deployment. The fighting was very intense and it wasn't a matter of okay. Is it going to happen, but just a matter of when   myself and amazing friend and fellow Marine, when it scroll up on NICU Fazio, we were on top of that roof together. We were near the end of our four hour post position on top of the roof. When the enemy initiated a daylight attack with hand grenades   I felt like I got hit really hard in the face. My vision was as if I was looking at a TV with no connection, it was just white and gray static. I thought about my family and how devastated they were going to be. Especially my mother that didn't make it home from Afghanistan. And I closed my eyes and I faded out of consciousness for what I thought was going to be my last time on this earth.   my injuries were so severe that still nine years later,   it's hard to comprehend that I survived.   all right. So what it's saying here, I'm going to pause it real quick because it's, it's, it's saying some stuff that's pretty important. Basically. What ended up happening is, uh, Kyle actually jumped on a Brittany. Um, and it says that he has very little recollection of what actually happened during this event.   Um, but according to the information that they had here, he, uh, I'll just read it to, you says, says to this day Kyle's memory of what happened on November 21st, 2010, it remains blurry, but a military review of the incident determined that he had covered the grenade with his body to save the life of corporal Nick, you phrase you on June 19th, 2014, Kyle was awarded the medal of honor.   The nation's highest and most prestigious personal military decoration. All right. I just wanted to read that to you guys. I mean, that's pretty, I mean, literally the, the, um, captain America story right there for you and in a real individual, and, and we feel the need to create false idols, to be able to idolize somebody and think that somebody would have the capabilities or the, the mindfulness or, or the courage to do something during this, in, in that type of situation.   And that's why it's outlined in a movie in captain America, uh, an individual, you know, captain America goes on to jump on the grenade, right? This guy, Kyle Carpenter actually did that in the state of war to save his friends. How truly incredible. And like, you know, it gives me goosebumps just thinking about it.   That's it's amazing. Um, so let's, let's finish this, if there's anything else that comes up, I'll go ahead and read it to you guys. So.   All right. So while one second, while that loads up for us. Um, but yeah, really incredible story. The fact that, you know, that he, this individual actually did, so it says that several grenades were tossed onto the roof where he was at, and one of them, um, would take an enormous toll. It says Kyle was certain that he was going to die when that happened.   Um, it says Kyle is often asked, uh, what the medal of honor means to him. Um, and let's see if we can get this clip going here to discuss what he actually says there for that. Here we go.   We're just here because we're here. No, we got here because of incredible amounts of courage and sacrifice.   the metal represents all whoever raised their right hand and sworn to give their life if called upon for their country, represents those who have never made it home to receive the things and recognition. They deserve. Those who charged the beaches and world war II froze while fighting in Korea. Bled out across the lush fields of Vietnam and those who never made it home because of another deadly blast in the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan, those who were tortured for years in prisoner of war camps and those who still rest and just didn't lands forever remaining missing an action.   The metal represents the parents, husbands wives, and loved ones who have heard the dreaded knock on their front doors to find a telegram or service member delivering the unbearable news. This is where the true weight of the metals caring being a medal of honor. Recipient is a beautiful burden, but one, I am honored to carry   all right. And at the end of the video there, what they show is Kyle going ahead and putting on his medal of honor. So, um, really an incredible story, unbelievable story. And one that will, we'll go on in history as the, you know, the, the real captain America courage here with Kyle Carpenter. Um, you know, I almost feel like there should have been his name in the credits of the captain America movie, that they, you know, stole, stole that scene from something that actually happened with a true hero, um, with Kyle Carpenter there.   So what an incredible story. Um, now the next one that we're going to discuss here is going to be a Dakota Meyer. Now Dakota Meyers is a somewhat of a large figure when it comes to combat veterans who have spoken out, he's been on Joe Rogan, I believe once or twice, I think twice where the first time he went on and discussed his story directly in his story is.   A hard one to listen to and in a pretty gruesome one at that. And then, you know, that's kind of the thing that you hear about the differences between war. I don't know, you know, the way that our modern wars are fought is, is a lot of times, you know, you think of a gunfight and you're pressing a button from afar land, or like from, from hundreds of yards away and shooting it, you know, enemy fire zones and, and, you know, you're seeing small areas where you're shooting at and that didn't use to be the case.   Right. You think back to like the way that they fought in, I dunno, think of like, you know, 17 hundreds was like swords and stuff. That's not that far removed from where we are. So there's some really gruesome stories that come out of like older wars and we, we don't have as many hand-to-hand combat stories.   And Dakota Meyer is one of those stories where it really just reminds you of. The real gritty, terrible aspects of even modern war. And, um, we'll hear a little bit more about it when he discusses it here, but he talks about, um, in, in this clip, he not only discusses what he actually went through, what he did.   Um, but Dakota Meyer is an incredible story where I believe he was the only one of his team that made it out of a situation where, um, they basically left them stranded. So I don't want to take away too much of his stories surrounding it. Um, but it's a, it's a really incredible story. That's a little, you know, he, I believe he ends up, um, he gets in the hand-to-hand combat situation with somebody and ends up killing them with a rock man.   Like that's a tear. I can't even imagine what these guys carry around with them. Right. In, in that Kyle Carpenter story, not only the fact that he jumped on a grenade, but the fact that he lived to tell about it, he has very little recollection of what happened. Must be a really difficult thing. To try and wrestle with right.   To try. And you know, how often does that come up in his mind and into not even remember what actually happened? One of the curd must be really, I don't know, I guess a blessing in some ways, but also frustrating because it's such a pivotal moment in your life, right? Like you have how many days of your life that, that, you know, thousands and thousands of days in your life.   And, and to have this one most impactful day, like whether it's with what happened with Kyle Carpenter, where he jumps on that grenade and lives to tell the tale, or whether it's about Dakota Meyer, where he ends up having to take this other man's life. And he talks about not only having to take this man's life, but like the humanity behind it.   And then looking into this man's eyes and knowing that he's just another. Uh, another person just like him, who has a family and kids. And, um, it's, it's, it's tough, but I think it's necessary. We have to know what these people go through to properly be able to memorialize, you know, the other soldiers who actually did fall in these types of situations.   But, um, let's go ahead and listen to the Dakota Meyer story now. Well, I think sometimes people need to hear it from somebody like you, you know, or someone like Jocko or, you know, the, the, the beautiful thing about these podcasts is that you get to hear people's perspective. And a lot of them are eye-opening, you know, they, they they're, they literally can change the world because they changed the way you behave and you interact with people when you listen to it.   Yeah. And that podcast that you did with Jocko, when I was listening to me, it changed my whole day. It changed like how I was going to look at my day. I was, you know, instead of like looking at my day, like up it's a normal day, I was thinking, God damn, I'm lucky. God damn, I'm lucky and goddamn. Imagine.   Experiencing what you, and how old were you at the time? I was 21, 21 years old. And experiencing what you experienced in that insane firefight being locked down. And I mean, how many guys did you wind up engaging with? I don't know. I, you know, I don't know. I mean, everyone that I got an opportunity with.   Right. And it just, you know, it was just, uh, you know, it was so chaotic. I mean, I, you know, I still, I look, I think about all the time, obviously. Um, it's something I could have never experienced. I mean, I trained for war every single day when I was in the Marine Corps. I mean, it was what it was, what my job was and I still could have never imagined that day, the way it was or anything to turn out.   I could've never pictured it. I could've never, and, and I think every day it goes by, I think there's a reckoning of it, right. The way that I seen it that day is not the way I see it today. And, uh, I think that comes with, you know, just, just sharpening and just your body, you know, you change and you, you see different things in perspective, but yeah, I mean, you know, I, I, I, you know, that day, I mean, it's still, I mean, it still is just, you know, just, it's just there and, and, and literally I walked out of there and I, I just think about all the time today.   I just think about all the time of how many generations, just that day were changed. How many generations of, of people's lives were changed? You know, all my teammates died, so don't ever have kids that generations stopped their families forever. So many lives were changed that day by that, that, that piece.   And guess what? And everybody in America had no clue it was going on. Like right now, there are us. Somebody wondering if they're going to be able to come home and see their family again, that's reality, whether you want to ignore it or not like that's reality. And that was me September 8th, 2009. And it was just, um, gosh, it was a chaotic day.   I think that's an important thing to highlight too, is like, you know, what percentage of people that are going into these actual firefight, what is their average age like the, the, the military at that level is primarily made up of, you know,  may be some staff Sergeant like the primary, primary bulk of the individuals who are going in and fighting.   These wars are 18 to 22 year old kids. Right? Like you listen to, uh, you know, all of these conversations around, you know, gun control and, and, you know, should he be able to purchase a gun or not at 18 years old and all this stuff of like the recent events. So the tragic events that have happened. And you don't even remember the fact that worse, our government literally arms 18 olds and sends them to fight on their behalf.   And the 18 year olds that are signing up to go into the military. Don't don't have the big picture in mind. They barely paid attention in government class if like me. Um, and, and they, they really don't even know how our political system works, let alone geopolitics, and what's happening around the world.   And like what's actually going on, um, they're 18 to 22 year old kids who are going to fight the wars of these 85, 70 year old politicians who they don't have a clue what they're actually fighting for other than, you know, what you'll hear a lot in, in these kinds of videos is you'll, they'll hear them talking about who they're with, right.   Their team, um, saving their buddy next to them. That's what they fight for. And the fundamental ideal that they have surrounding what the United States is and what it means to be a Patriot and what the constitution stands for and being the, you know, um, th th the freest country in the world, right? And that's what these 18 year olds, the ideals that they're fighting for in their head at this age, besides the actual, like geopolitical situation of why we're actually going in there, what we're actually doing and why we're doing it, they're kids going into these situations.   And what you'll find is like, this is kind of an interesting conversation. This, you know, he talks about, you know, they were married and they had didn't, weren't old enough yet to have kids, right. They weren't old enough to be able to see what life is actually about when you, when you look at your child's eyes, when they're born, and they didn't get any of that.   And, and not only that, but their, their family lineage has gone. They did, they, they will not reproduce. There will be no duplication of that DNA because of these wars that they were sent to fight at. It's such a young age, And so, you know, to me, it's like these conversations running like is an 18 year old able to carry a gun.   Well, if you're going to allow people to sign up for the military and to go fight on behalf of our government and wars that these 18 year olds don't even understand, yet you gotta, you can't, you can't like have your cake and eat it too. As people say, right? Like you can't not allow an 18 year old to protect his own home because he can't purchase a weapon, but then send him to Afghanistan to go fight the Taliban in the same breath, because you think that it's okay for them to do that under their scenario.   Right. And under your, your reasoning. Right. Because, you know, and that's kind of how you have to look at that gun situation. I guess we'll, we'll take a little skirt side sidetrack here, you know, to me the gun, situation's an interesting one. And especially with the most recent events and things. That, you know, the, if you look at the government from a large standpoint is the government is its own entity, right?   It's its own, uh, household, right? It's a household of 300 million people, and then you break it down to the state level, right? And the state is just a smaller organization of that same family, right? That it breaks down to a smaller number. And inside that you have counties and inside that you have cities and inside that you have subdivisions and inside that you have households, but what the country is, is just its own family entity that has decided that we're on the same team.   Right. And we all live around each other, so we should be kind to each other and we should have some rules and that type of deal. Right. So when you break it down to like the, the household level, the, the, the government in the sense stands when it comes to gun control is basically. The government wants to be able to control weapons for its own personal reasons to defend itself.   Right? As a country, as a country family, it wants to defend its property, right? It wants to be able to do that. And it does that through military action right now, when you break that to the state level, you have sheriffs in the national guard and you have state entities that want to be able to defend itself against its enemies.   And then you have the households, right? You have, you have actual physical subdivisions, you're home in that subdivision, and you need to be able to do what the government does. You need to be able to do what the federal government does, what the state, they all know that they have to do it. It's the same reason.   Joe Biden has a security guard, armed security, all around him at all times. Same thing with celebrities, same thing. You know, all of these people that are preaching gun control are constantly surrounded by their own security who are all. Right, but, but you're, you're the peasant. You don't need that stuff.   You, what do you have to worry about? You're not famous. And like, I am, you're not a political elite. Like me, what do you have to worry about? Right. So they want to strip your right away. But if there's no guns that are allowed, right. If they strip your right to own a handgun or the purchase without, you know, extreme background checks where they get to say whether, you know, you get it or not.   If, if that's allowed, you know, that, that allows them to be, you know, when, when the constitution was written and we're getting on a little bit of a rant here, when the constitution was written, the idea for, for the second amendment was not was, was generally not yet for hunting. Right? Sure. You should be able to have a gun.   Right. But it's also protection of person and protection of property. And it's also protection from a totalitarian government. Right? So, so in the same way that they want to defend themselves against other countries, they want to defend themselves against their enemies. There are people, there are bad individuals, bad countries out there who want to harm.   There are also bad people out there who want to harm the president. There are bad people who want to harm celebrities and there's bad people who want to harm me and you. And so why should it be any different if the government is okay, I can much rather get on the page of the government. If they want to say that nobody gets guns, we don't get guns.   We're going to, we're going to sign a treaty with the UN where everybody just throws all of their weapons in a circle, and we're going to go back to the stone age. And we're just going to beat the shit out of each other with sticks, because that's, you know, we don't like guns anymore. If everybody agrees that we're on the same page and there's no longer going to be gun manufacturers that every single gun that's ever distributed, it has been rightfully returned and checked next to a box so that we know there are zero guns that are out there.   We can have a conversation about that, but if, but if the government wants to be armed, if our president wants armed security, if our celebrities get armed security, if everybody, but the peasants gets to have guns and then they want to take away your rights. No, I'm on, I'm not, I can't buy into that. Right.   Because it, for in the same way as it's, it's, um, it's a microcosm, the family household is a microcosm of what the government is. And so to strip the family of, of their ability to defend themselves, this doesn't work, right. It's the same reason our government will never lay down their arms and just give it to the UN and say, all right, right.   If we're all going to throw in our weapons on an individual level, why don't we do it on the government level? Well, because we all know that there's sneaky ass people out there who want to do you harm there's countries who want to kill American soldiers. Right. We know that we also know that there's individuals out there who are going to break into somebody's house tonight and murder somebody.   It's just, it's just, unfortunately, the side-effect of humanity is there is bad people that are. And that in that you see that in that macro level of our government, our government is not going to just throw their guns into the middle with every other government say, oh, all right, we're all safe. We're going to go back to using sticks, to beat the shit out of each other.   No, they're not going to do that. They know that the power is in the weaponry. The power is in the individual who holds the, the, the most deadly weapon. Right. And so why would we as individuals give that up? All right. Anyways, side note, everybody who goes into the military, if you're going to say 18 is too young to own a weapon to go into a, um, a gun store and purchase an AR to protect yourself, to protect your family, to go hunting, whatever the hell.   Then you have to change the military age. You can't just, you, you can't just allow them to shed blood on your behalf, but not allow them to protect their own home. It makes no sense. So anyway, so let's, let's continue this Dakota Meyer clip. It's amazing how you could have, uh, thousands of days in your life in one day changes the way you look at everything.   One day, it changes the way you look at everything and, you know, and like the further I go on, I look at it different. You know, I always talk about the story of, um, you know, whenever this guy came up behind me and I ended up, I ended up killing him with a rock and I always remember just like, I remember it.   Like I see it every night. Like I remember like I just see his face and I got just, cause there was a point, there was a point that I, I feel like that anybody that when they, whether they're injured or anything, like they realized that. Like they like it. Like, I don't know. I just think there's a point when you look at somebody and they know they're going to die and on there, forget that.   And I, you know, now I look at it and I see it and how we sank that, like   this guy is a son to somebody, his mother and father are gonna miss him. This guy, he believes in his cause as much as I do, he doesn't believe he's wrong. This guy, this guy, he, he could have had a wife or kids that are never going to see their father. Again, just like, you know, my dad, might've never seen me again if it was switched and really, I don't even know.   I don't hate him. I don't even know this guy. We're just here at this place right now, because we were born in two different. When you add a weapons, were you out of, out of him? So my, no, he had came up and he started choking me. Uh, I had shot him once before and he, I was trying to pick my buddy, Donna Lee, my, my, my, one of my closest Afghans daughter.   Lee had been shot. He, he got killed. He had been killed and I came around this terrorist to get him and I was on my knee and this guy came up behind me. And, um, so he didn't have a weapon either. He was, he did, he, he had a weapon and I ended up shooting him from the ground. And I thought he was dead when he fell on the ground.   And I kind of moved down and got down with Donna Lee because I was still getting shot at, from this machine gun up on this hill. And I was trying to make myself small as I could. And, um, this guy ends up coming up with choking me. Like I thought he was, I thought he was dead and he ends up choking me out.   He starts trying to choke me out and eventually led up a little bit and I ended up getting around. And I just got, we were fighting back and forth and I can remember all of us thinking about it was like, don't let his legs to get on me. Like, you know, these guys, their legs are, I mean, they've been crawling up mountains our whole life.   And he was a, he was a pretty big dude. And, um, I just remember getting on top of him, finally got on top of him and I ended up, I was rolling on top of him. He didn't have all the gear on I did. And, um, I ended up, I remember getting on top of him, like, like I was straddling him and I'm just reaching up, trying to grab for anything I can and I'm holding him and I'm holding him down with my throat, with my forearm and I'm just grabbing anything I can.   And finally, I ended up grabbing a rock and I just started beating this dude space in and I started beating and beaten and beaten. And I remember, I remember just like finally, like after hitting him, you know, I don't know, three or four times four or five times, whatever. I remember him, like finally just kind of looking at me and like, just it's it's like, he's like just, I'm just looking at him in the eyes, like obviously closer than me to you right now.   You just see all the, you can tell, like he knows where this is going. And I always think about that, you know, um, obviously I would kill him a million times over again. Right. He, he was the enemy. Like, I don't feel bad about that part of it, but I just think about like, in that moment, if I can find a way to relate to him in that moment, uh, man, I'm taking his life.   We all in America can find a way to connect with each other. If we don't connect with each other because we choose not to, I don't care what your differences are. Like. Don't like find a reason to why we can get along, not why we should not get along. Right. Wow. So that's pretty, um, like I was saying a little, a little intense, right?   That's it's a truly a horrific situation that this man found himself in and how unfortunate to have to be. In a situation where you have to take somebody's life or it's your own. Right. And you said that he said that I would do it a thousand times over if I had to, because he was the enemy. Right. He was going to do that to me.   He came up to me to choke me. There's nothing that I could've done to put, put, put myself out of the situation, besides not go in the military. You know, however many years ago he had been in three years. Um, but, but he was positioned in, in somewhere where he had to defend himself and had to defend the people around him.   And you know, what, what he didn't talk about there was the, what led up to that, but I'm believe none, nobody on his team made it out. It was just him in that situation. And, uh, you know, that's, that's something that's easy to forget too. It's easy to like glorify them. It's easy to like put them on a pedestal because they went off and fought.   But like, man, it's such a mixed emotion. That should be such a powerful thing on Memorial day to like look back at what they actually went through. Right. What, what they actually had to endure both in the, in the moment and then for the rest of their life, after these actions, after defending themselves, after, you know, um, positioning, being positioned in a way where they had to go through this and, and do these things to other people.   And it's probably not very often, well, maybe it is maybe, you know, but, but it's, it's, it's refreshing to hear someone, you know, I guess refreshing and then an interesting to hear somebody go from speaking about. Beating someone's face in with a rock four or five times in, in, in seeing them really just like, decide that they're okay.   Not okay with it, but just decide that like, oh, this might be it right to like, actually have to look at the humanity of an individual in that moment and realize, you know, that maybe this is the end of your life, that you're not going to see your children and, and on both sides of it. Right. It's like the, I don't know.   I think the more developed we get as a world, right? As a consciousness, as an individual, the more we realize that, like these wars, at least from, you know, uh, uh, human aspect, or like just makes no sense to be fought in these manners. Like literally neither of those men knew the geopolitics down to the core of what they were there fighting for.   They were positioned by people in power who had agendas in mind that they wanted to accomplish on the backs of this man losing his life. In this situation where he went to, you know, go choke Dakota Meyer, um, either which way it's like it's a horrific event because he just as easily see whoever picked up that rock first, right?   Whoever was put in a position where they could have walked away alive would have seized that chance. But they were only in that position because of the individuals who put them there. But anyways, let's not take away from that. There were always CISM, heroism, heroism is a word heroic CISM. Let's not take away from their heroism of that individual in that moment who faced their fears and had the courage to fight in this situation.   And, and, and now it, like I said, it's a, it's a mixed emotion. You can't just like throw them up on a pedestal. And you know, you have to have empathy is still right. It's not just like, look at the heroes. It's like, man, what these people had to endure to allow us to. Enjoy our lives, the way that we do allow us to maintain our freedom in our S our sovereignty from other nations and, and how easily it is to forget the horrific actions when just putting them on that pedestal.   When just looking at them as a hero, it's easy to forget everything that they had to go through. And like I said, everything they're going to have to endure from here on out, but it's, it's important to understand how deeply complex these things are, even for an 18 and 19 and 20 year old to have to handle, and to not even be in your head like your adult life, right?   Like you're a 17, 18, 19 years old. You signed that dotted line and then you go off and you have to experience such trauma, and then take that into what you believe to be normal everyday adult life, when you're 24. And you, you have your DD two 14 in your hand, and you're ready to like take on the world.   If you're one of these individuals who went through this, like you don't, you don't have the same lens as everybody. You have such a heavier burden to take into everyday life, to take into your first marriage, to take into your, you know, to, to, to parenting your children. And you have such a different vantage point of what, you know, what it means to, to go into the military and what it means to protect your country and what it means to have a constitution, the way that we do and be willing and able to protect and defend it.   Um, it's heavy, right? Like that, that, that that's a kid 19 years old as a kid. And then they carry that burden into every other year, every other decade, every engagement, every family reunion that whatever it is like to you, you carry that with you. Um, so, you know, it's, it's something that's refreshing too, is looking at all these people and looking at how normal they are, right?   Like every single one of these guys could just be right next to you on a plane. They're, you know, talk to you at the, at the bar or. So, you know, it, it speaks to human resiliency too, right. To be able to experience something that horrific and then to come out and still be able to just leave your house, let alone form a sentence or get on a Joe Rogan interview.   Right. Like man. So the next one we're going to listen to is Salvador. Jiante I hope I'm pronouncing that correctly, but Salvador Gionta um, we will go ahead and listen to this clip and then we will discuss it too. This is a pretty incredible story. I haven't read too deep into it. Um, but I'm, I'm interested to hear it.   So here we go. I grew up in Cedar rapids, Iowa. I'm the oldest of three children. It was the Midwest middle-class sunshine, rainbows green grass. You don't have to lock the door kind of neighborhood. That was where I grew up in Iowa. I was about to graduate high school and I heard a radio commercial come on.   And I said, you know, come on down, see the recruiter. Who doesn't want a free t-shirt I'm working, but I want a free t-shirt of course I want a t-shirt. So I went down and I, uh, I talked to the recruiter and kind of the things that he said started making sense, you know, we're we're country at war. This was 2003.   We just jumped into Iraq. We we've been in Afghanistan since 2001. This is my chance. I can make a difference if this is what I want to do, and I can do it everywhere, but not in Cedar rapids, Iowa. My great grandparents came over from Italy in 1904. No one that I know of in my immediate family served in any sort of military.   This is my chance to say, you know, the juniors are going to go serve. I'm going to do it. Salvatore, Giunta enlisted in the U S army in November of 2003, after excelling in basic training and infantry school, he was deployed to Afghanistan in 2005. And again, in 2000. The second tour would station him at a remote fire base and the deadly Corrine gal valley.   I remember being so excited to go. I wasn't just excited. I was ready. I'm going to go there and kick in doors and solve this, wrap it up. We'll go home. We'll drink some beers and say, you know what? I served in the United States army. I'm proud of that every day. And within three months of being in country, an IED took out a truck and killed four and gunner lost both of his legs.   These are people in their prime of their life. There will never be stronger than they were that day to no longer have it tomorrow. That was when I truly felt that it was in the army. My second deployment was the corn gold valley. It was like nothing that I had never seen in Afghanistan before we were at the bottom of the valley with mountains, just cheer straight, straight up and down on every single side.   And every single place you're going to fight. You are at the bottom and there's no spot you can choose because you don't get to choose a spot. They get to choose the spot. So operation, rock avalanche when he go to, and I guess that's something that's fair to mention too, is they don't even get to pick where they go or like some of the tactical disadvantages that they've been pulled into.   Like, there's a, there's a movie that came out surrounding. Uh, there was a group of Marines who basically did a bunch of home videos, like early in the, you know, like literal, uh, cam corridor mode. Like I think it was like early mid nineties. Uh, there was a group of Marines. I need to think of the name of the movie because it's a true, unbelievably, incredible depiction.   Um, and it really seems like the whole movie that the depiction of it that they ended up doing seemed like a, um, like they took a lot of the scenes of this home movies that they made. And I think there was like four or five medal of honor recipients. I should have clipped that together for you guys too, but really unbelievable.   A movie that, that came out about this specific, it might, it might be this specific area that he's mentioning here where basically there was a big, um, mountain area surrounding the entire, like a full circle mountain. And then down, down in the valley here, um, there was a, uh, a military base that they were put in a forward operating base, right in the middle of these mountains at the very, very bottom where they were at a complete disadvantage from every single point that you could look at, they were at a disadvantage from, and, uh, there was, uh, many, many, uh, soldiers from the U S who died.   Um, and, and every single day in this area that they were, they were fighting. And in this forward operating base, they would receive gunfire just from the mountains and they could barely even see where it was coming. But the vantage point that they were, they were fighting from was just like, imagine, like, I dunno if you've ever seen, like, I guess that's a bad example, but if there's a, there's just a complete circle of mountains around this area, there's a base at the very, very, very circle middle bottom.   So there's nowhere to hide. There's nowhere to run. Um, there's nowhere to, to even cover, to, to, to reload your weapon besides the, you know, the buildings. And so, um, this movie is truly incredible depiction. So I wonder if this is the same base that they were talking about. There is like the, it might've been, um, like he might've said it, but I think it was like they coined it like death valley, um, but a horrific, horrific, uh, tactical disadvantage vantage that these men were in from the beginning.   Like it's not even like they, they, none of them choose to this either like higher up chain of command guy writes a fucking sticky note and hands it to a corporal and says, all right, start a base at the bottom of this mountain without ever actually visiting. And how many people died on the decisions, like on the backs of that decision, how many these young soldiers lives were lost because of this like terrible tactical disadvantage that they were given from the very beginning.   Like they, they didn't even have a chance from the beginning. And, and so whatever this movie is, you gotta find it. It's a, it's a great, it probably one of my favorite military movies of all time. Um, and, and it truly like captures the humanity. Like the essence of what being in the military is, and all the shit-talking and comradery and all the, you know, difficult situations that you find yourself in.   Um, it's a really incredible story. So, um, but if that's not the place that he's talking about, the fact that they're putting our soldiers in these areas over and over again, now I know that there's been like since then, like statements that they came out and said, yeah, there's no, absolutely no reason that we should have actually put a base in this area.   Uh, I dunno, it's crazy, but I'll, I'll find the name of that hopefully before the end of this podcast. And, and, uh, we'll, we'll see if I can give the shout out and let you have a, a good movie to go watch. Cause it's a really, really incredible movie. Um, but let's, let's continue on this clip again. This is Salvador gianatta, um, discussing his, uh, the time that he received the medal of honor for, we had no idea.   Well, we had Intel and there's Intel. It was lots of bad guys. That's what we came here to do.   the first day we got some contact a couple of times, each day, usually small mines, RPGs. There's some bad guys in the shot at us. And we dropped some orders and other things. Apparently there was a lot of people that they deemed innocent that died. Then they're not. We came to help, but now he pissed off everyone.   I'm here still, other than our little areas that we've been watching for the last, you know, day and half, we don't know what's outside of this. We left where we were headed, headed to another village. It's probably only enough, maybe another street kilometers. And we set up for doing listening posts for going in and engaging the villages saying, Hey, you know, what do you need?   What would, what would make your lives better? And how let's let's talk to offer to all of this is to Bravo radio check over. That was a team leader. So I have a radio so I can click over and I can hear what's going on with the other guys. And we started hearing on the radio chaos shooting. Doesn't make chaos to hear chaos from people who'd been doing this restraint.   And we started hearing they're missing people. They're missing things. There's there's Kia's we have, we have Americans killed there. It was bad. We just stayed waiting, listening to a million bad things, happen to our brothers kilometer away. You've never been more ready than you were right there. And we couldn't do anything right over here.   They over overran a scout team position and they overran a gun team. And second tune was going to go into the village. And then we were going to be on one of the side peaks over watching the village. So if anything, anyone started coming from the outside to come and attack them in the village. We already have the high ground above them and we sat there 12 hours, 14 hours just watching and waiting.   And nothing happened. Commander said, we're going to pull out. We'll go back as it was probably two and a half hours. And the sun was down to the moon was big and that moon really does make a, just a huge amount of difference in what you can. And can't see, there was Sergeant Brennan specialist, sack road, the squad leader, staff, Sergeant Gallardo, myself.   Uh, Casey was my solid gunner. And then clarity was my two or three gunner. We went about 200 meters from where we sat. And that was when I I've never seen before or since anything like what, what happened?   The tracers coming, usually one tracer, four balls. So every time you see one that glows, there was four somewhere in between there and absolutely everything. Every single inch of the air in front of us behind you. Was filled with tracers thousands of bullets in the air going both ways at this point, I think within the first five seconds, I think pretty much everyone had been shot somewhere.   Casey and Clary were behind me and Casey had the 2 49 squad. Automatic weapons saw and searched can shoot about a thousand bullets per minute. Clary was shooting is 2 0 3, which shoots a 40 millimeter grenade. But the guys were so close. She couldn't the grenade. He was just making a lot of booms, but it wasn't on them, but he was doing exactly that.   That was a good thing for him to be doing. And so I looked towards my leader, Sergeant Gallardo, I saw Gallardo coming back and I just saw his head Twitch. And it wasn't like a, what was that Twitch? He was like, something just hit his head Twitch and he dropped, sorry. I just ran out and I grabbed, he was kind of flipped over on his back, but he was okay.   So I kind of grabbed him, was pulling him and he was jumping up and we got back and I went to a little bit of desolate. I probably gave us maybe six to eight inches of relief in the ground. And I, we were both there. And when that happened, I got hit Largo's here and I'm here and they're shooting at us from here.   And I just got hit over here, which the people over here can't shoot over here. That is a very serious thing to figure out incredibly quick, why that bullet came from over here, they set up in an L shape, which if we were to do it, we would do it exactly like that. We were trained from from day one in basic training.   It was a battle drill that a near ambush. What do you do if your ambush happens? Well, you charged the line. You're going to win or lose on that, but you're going to win or lose stain where you're at. And if you stay where you're at, you're probably gonna lose. We threw your name. And we ran forward, that road was on the ground and he said, he'd been shot.   Brennan said he was shot as well. He's somewhere up ahead. I can hear this. As I'm running and Garda went for acro Gallardo is the man. I trust the lardo. There's no more grenades. And I was already running forward. So pointless to stop and Gallardo had that growed and chasing and Claire were doing everything they could and they were, they were keeping their heads down.   And when I ran up and I couldn't, I couldn't find Brinton where it should've been   this part haunts my dreams.   Now it's interesting to think in this situation like that, like everything that's going on. You know, all of the intensity of the moment, like gunfire from here, gunfire, from there, you, you like, it's easy to, it's easy to let it escape from, from your mind if you've never been in a situation like that, not I've never been in a situation like that.   So it just, just interesting. The the real time chess match that is happening in a firefight. And so, you know, in, in the stakes are so high. And for him to say that like, you know, in this next moment was one that will stick with me forever, you know, in the intensity of that moment to have a moment that even like within that however many minutes that this firefights happening and you're seeing people drop to your left into your right and to have something significant enough in that moment to, to, to stand out to you and to have to also not only like comprehend everything that's going on around you.   Um, but to, to, to react, analyze strategize, and then take action is like, it, it truly is a special type of individual who can find themselves in a position to gain this medal of honor, because every single one of those decisions has to be correct. Right? The, the, the analyzing the situation, the reaction to the situation, the, you know, calm, cool, and collected, and then the actual action itself, everything had to Evelyn.   You know, perfectly for these men to do what they did. Um, so, you know, just speaks to the intensity of the moment and the intensity of what he's must be talking about coming up here. The fact that there's an individual moment within all of this, that, that sticks with him specifically. So here's that I came out and there was two guys carrying one   crazy. I don't know how anyone else got up here before me. I mean, this all happens like this. I was like a little bit closer. I realized what was going on. I deployed with Berlin before we, the year before we were in Afghanistan for a year. So I'd been with Brendan for maybe four years. He's smarter than me, stronger than me.   He's smaller than me too, but he's faster than me. He's a better shot.   And that's, who's getting carried away June to immediately charged through the persistent enemy fire toward the two insurgents carrying Joshua Brennan. He killed one and wounded. The other Ben carried Brennan to a position of relative safety until medevac helicopters could arrive   25, 2007 30 supportive operation during freedom is unwavering courage. You don't find out if you did the right thing or wrong thing until later. Sometimes maybe if you did the wrong thing, maybe you don't ever find out lardo. My squad came up, I was talking to captain Kearney. He said, you're going to get put in for a middle of,   I said a lot of things, none of which were very happy or, or should be told that. Mendoza had died and Brandon had died. The other guys were going to be okay, they're all in surgery or getting some bullets out. You're going to congratulate me. You're going to pat me on the back and say, thanks stupid the day at the white house.   When the president put around my neck and the front row, I had my family had my wife and my mom and dad and brother and sister. And the second row, I had some aunts and uncles, but the road behind my family was Britain's family. Next to them was windows is family. When, as I felt this light silk ribbon go around my neck, I felt the weight of the sacrifices of those two and the sacrifices of several of the people in that audience.   No one did anything special. I, every single one of us were fighting for our absolute life. If I didn't do that was my. Congratulate and pat it on the back and everyone thinks I'm such a great guy when there's people that will never get a congratulations. Thank you. Or you're the man ever again, or see their family, the mother, the father, the children.   And yet you're gonna congratulate me on the keeper of it stays at my house at night, put it around my neck when I need to, but this is not mine. This is not for me. This represents so much more. This represents not just my boys, not just bringing, not just Mendoza, not, not rugal who died the day before. Not all the guys who, who have been wounded, not all the people who have suffered, not the families that will pay the price for this country.   It's not for any one of those people. It's for all of those people. And if I got to do it, I'm going to do it for them. And there's nothing they wouldn't do for me. So how could I not do this for them?   Yeah, that's heavy. Is he, you know, can't imagine being in that situation, like he said, like getting your metal of honor, while you sit out and watch the families of your friends that didn't have the opportunity to come home, let alone sit there from, in front of the president of the United States being congratulated, right?   Like that, you know, it's like, I'm such a weird, you know, status to obtain because all of the things that came with that, right? Like I wonder how many of those men who have the medal of honor even, you know, look at it in, in a way other than how he looks at it, which is just like, you know, it's not this, like, it's not the Stanley cup, right.   It's not like, it means horrible tragedy happened and you witnessed horrific things in likely your friends or dad and, or seriously wounded. And then too, like. This like celebrity type event where the president is putting a, a necklace around your neck about it. And he can't comprehend the fraction of the agony that you went to, to be standing on that stage, or to look in, to look out and see your friend's parents.   There is cash that's heavy, you know? And, and, and so the Mo the movie I was mentioning earlier was called the outpost. I believe it's, it's, uh, it came out in like 2019. I don't know if this specifically talking about this one place, it might be. Um, I'll have to look deeper into that for you guys, but the corn golf valley is what is where, um, Gionta served, where he got his metal event of a medal of honor.   And so here, here's what it talked about. I was talking about that earlier, like the base at the very like, um, the very bottom of this like mountainous area. And so here's six reasons why the Korengal valley was one of the most dangerous places in Afghanistan. So it says nestled between the high mountains of the Afghan side of the border with Pakistan, the Korengal valley has the most has one of the hardest fought over patches of ground in the war on terror, 54 Americans have been killed in four medal of honors were earned in the valley or its vis immediate vicinity while the case for a fifth is under review.   One of that, um, one was that of the first living recipient of the reward of awards since Vietnam staff, Sergeant Salvatore. That's who we're discussing here today, the American military rarely moves into the valley, but handpicked, Afghan commandos, some trained by the CIA fight constantly with militants there, the Afghan government maintains offices at the Peck river valley, the entryway to Korengal, their police execute raids and patrols, and the continuing attempt to shut down or limit the shadow government operating there.   When the American military was there, they face the same challenges the Afghan forces do today. Some of these dangerous of some of these dangers are common across Afghanistan while others, um, only existed in Korengal valley and the other branches of the pack river valley. So it says the terrain is a nightmare.   Steep mountains, loose shale thick forest is an open patches of land, made the area in nightmare for an occupying force. Command outposts were built in relatively open areas so that defenders could see approaching militias. However, this meant patrol is returning to the base, had to cross the open.   Sometimes under heavy military arms fire from nearby wooded areas and houses, the thick trees in the area allowed fighters to attack us forces from covering concealment. The attack would then hide there. The attackers would then hide their weapons in the forest and return to the civilian population.   The steep hillside allowed snipers to climb above outposts and fire into the bases. As soldiers slept loose rocks on the steep land led to injuries from falls and trips. It says building new bases and keeping them supplied, presented constant challenges, probably just, they show that in the outpost again, I don't know if that's the exact movie.   I'll have to I'll look at that before we're done here, but in the outpost, they showed that like when they would actually go to get supplies, they would drive their Humvees up these mountains. Like right on the cliffs, like horrifying to try, like, you know, you ever drive through like Colorado going up to, uh, like Vail or Breckenridge or something.   And so it's like how I felt, but it's like, not even close to that. It was like this small, small patch of area that yo

durée : 01:04:42 - Questions d'islam - par : Ghaleb Bencheikh - La charia est fondée sur le Coran et la Tradition du Prophète, c'est le "chemin" qui mène à Dieu pour les musulmans. Elle s'est fixée en tant que "doctrine humaine" à partir du 9e siècle. Il convient de définir la charia dans sa perspective historique et dans sa mobilisation par l'islamisme radical. - invités : Jean-Philippe Bras

Oustaz Mor KEBE || Prévention et Exorcisme de la Sorcellerie selon la Coran et la Sunnah.

Nous aimerions sincèrement pouvoir faire plus que ce que nous apportons à travers nos podcasts, c'est pourquoi il nous semblait essentiel de rappeler combien la place du Coran peut-être déterminante dans notre façon d'appréhender nos difficultés. Le Coran est la parole divine, il est intemporel, الله s'adresse à nous , et il recèle en lui des bienfaits inombrables que ce soit pour notre vie ici-bas et pour notre au-delà , pour autant que nous lui accordions une place privilégiée. Nous pouvons évaluer notre relation à Dieu en fonction de la place que le Coran a dans nos vies. Interrogez-vous sur la  place qu'il occupe au centre de votre vie , est-il votre compagnon de vie? Dans cet épisode, nous revenons sur les bienfaits du Coran dans notre vie ici-bas et dans l'au-delà mais surtout sur son pouvoir d'apaisement. Nous aurons également le plaisir d'appeler notre frère Abdelkarim de @vivrelecoran avec qui nous échangerons sur ce thème.

You know how hard it is to grow, build and scale your business. Most of your net worth is tied up in your business and at risk.Welcome to the entrepreneurial roller coaster!What if you could“buy money at a discount” (with no risk)10x your revenue, and buy your company so you can “take money off the table” and get liquid and still keep and remain in control of your business?If that sounds completely impossible and counter-intuitive, welcome to the most interesting growth and exit strategy Mike has seen—and meet the guy who came up with this model.Mike is going to repeat that last big idea: What if you could get a stack of cash by buying your business from yourself with someone else's money?Mike's guest on today's episode, Coran Woodmass, has a unique combination of skills allowing him to create growth and exit strategies that Mike has never seen before, in a system he calls Billion Dollar Exits.It's a unique way of pairing business owners with money and finding ways to multiply the value of a business with a series of strategies that he calls “Value Multipliers.” Something Mike loves about his strategies is he creates a situation for you as a business owner to have multiple exits. One by buying your company with debt. Then one or two more with one or two subsequent buyers. Genius.According to Coran, “I've always been fascinated with billionaires. What it took to become one, how big businesses were built and sold… even as a kid. It might sound strange, but it's true.”Nine years ago, Coran and his wife, Leanne, decided they wanted to travel the world, so they left their corporate jobs behind and started buying, building and selling online businesses. Online businesses are location independent, allowing them to travel full-time.Coran approaches life challenges with a broad perspective. Like a chess master, he sees patterns that others do not, and he is able to partner and negotiate on behalf of his clients. He's always thinking “How else can we do this while reducing risk and getting multiples?” It hasn't been all sunshine and rainbows. Coran and Leanne have been through the pain he calls “An eight figure debacle.” They found a great business to sell and the right-fit buyer. Everything was set. Three days before closing, the buyer called and said, “We need to renegotiate the deal.” There was nothing wrong with the business. The buyer had an issue and it was completely out of their control. This is very typical. Mike knows because it's happened to him multiple times. Buyers frequently push sellers to jump through all kinds of hoops before a deal closes. The business owner takes their eyes off sales, growth and scaling during due diligence. Revenues drop. Then the buyer stalls and renegotiates. By then, the owner has already “spent the money” in their minds and winds up selling out of frustration or kills the deal.The first time it happened to Mike, it cost $500,000. The second time cost him more than $2,000,000. The second time, Mike was better prepared, but it stings like hell.For Coran, it was a horrific experience and something they never wanted to go through again. When the deal didn't close, Coran took it very personally and it led him on a quest. Four years and over half a million dollars later, he's figured out EXACTLY what causes big dollar deals to close. (And how they can model billion dollar exits for small businesses as well.)A few years ago Coran had a client that was thinking about preparing for an eventual sale of their business and how to get the maximum value out of the deal. They were already really good at what they did operationally so they thought, “what if we start acquiring smaller brands and growing for an eventual acquisition?” Knowing what a big undertaking this was going to be, Coran made sure that they were prepared for the challenge. They jumped in with both feet. Coran raised $55 million dollars in debt to acquire several smaller brands and 3 months later they're well on their way to $100 million in revenue.Read this closely: they grew from $10,000,000 to almost $100,000,000 in 3.5 months…with someone else's money buying several companies.It gets even better than that. With the remainder of the money, they bought their own company without giving up equity or control. Call that “exit #1” - putting a few million in the bank. Now they will repeat the process until they're ready to be acquired.Obviously there's lots of nuance to how the deal is put together, but the bottom line is that Coran has figured out a process and a system to make BIG things happen for their clients quickly (allowing them to live the lifestyle of their dreams) using OTHER people's money.Mike wishes he would have met Coran a decade or two ago when he was growing his businesses. Mike could have 10x what he had built and put some cash in the bank instead of bearing the stress and anxiety of having his entire net worth tied up in his business for a decade.Bottom line is if you have a real business, the right mindset and are coachable… Coran can help you grow and exit your business.Listen to Mike's entire conversation with Coran and find out how to work with him and leverage the Billion Dollar Exits methodology at www.BillionDollarExits.com or email him at GIFT@BillionDollarExits.com. Coran is giving away a detailed training that walks you step by step through the mindsets and the value multipliers.
