ROMA (ITALPRESS) - “E' stato un risultato che non mi aspettavo perché questa preparazione è stata fatta un po' più di fretta rispetto alle ultime competizioni, sono molto soddisfatta più che altro per tutti questi ultimi anni che sono stati difficili”. Lo ha detto la pesista azzurra, Lucrezia Magistris, nel corso di un'intervista presso la sede romana dell'Italpress. La 25enne di Pavia, figlia d'arte di papà Cesare, ha conquistato la medaglia di bronzo ai Mondiali di sollevamento pesi a Manama, in Bahrein, sollevando nello strappo 99kg. “Nelle competizioni non riuscivo ad esprimere completamente il mio potenziale, è stata una grande soddisfazione - ha proseguito l'azzurra - A livello femminile la categoria -59 kg è complessa e molto competitiva, sono molto contenta”. Alle ultime Olimpiadi di Parigi, Magistris ha chiuso all'undicesimo posto e adesso guarda avanti, l'obiettivo sono i Giochi di Los Angeles 2028: “L'obiettivo principale è qualificarsi e migliorare i miei pesi per quanto riguarda gli esercizi tecnici mentre per quanto riguarda la categoria dovrò valutare perché adesso cambieranno e dovrò prendere una decisione”. Infine un messaggio alle nuove generazioni che si affacciano per la prima volta a questa disciplina: “Questo è uno sport complesso e molto difficile perché ti porta a confrontarti con te stesso, è uno sport individuale ma che ti fa crescere molto a livello psicologico. Ma assolutamente è un qualcosa che consiglierei a tutte le ragazze”, ha concluso.gm/gsl

Der Inselstaat Bahrain liegt im Persischen Golf, direkt vor der Küste Saudi-Arabiens. Wirtschaftlich steht das Land für Öl und Petrochemie, also Chemieerzeugnisse, die auf Basis von Öl und Gas erzeugt werden. Außerdem ist Bahrain ein bedeutender Aluminiumproduzent. Motorsport-Fans ist es aufgrund der Formel 1 ein Begriff, die auch an diesem Wochenende für ihren Saisonauftakt wieder in dem kleinen Wüsten-Königreich zu Gast ist.Für Clemens Hach, den deutschen Botschafter in Bahrain, zählt vorrangig die große geostrategische Bedeutung: Für ihn ist das Land "ein sehr treuer Verbündeter, der sich ganz klar für die internationale Ordnung, für internationales Recht und für friedliche Konfliktlösung" einsetze, so Hach im Podcast "Wirtschaft Welt & Weit". Das zeigt sich aktuell auch im Roten Meer: Immer wieder attackieren dort vom Iran unterstützte islamistische Huthi-Milizen internationale Handelsschiffe, die den Seeweg durch den Suezkanal nutzen wollen. Bahrain zählt zu den Unterstützern westlicher Gegenmaßnahmen.Wie sieht diese Unterstützung aus? Wie positioniert sich Bahrain? Und was heißt das konkret für den Handel? Diese Frage beschäftigt die Wirtschaftsexpertin Dalia Samra-Rohte. Sie hat die Lieferketten-Problematik ganz genau im Blick: Vor Ort richte man sich darauf ein, dass es - sofern sich die Situation nicht entspanne - "zu Verzögerungen im Projektgeschäft kommen wird". Einige Unternehmen prüften bereits die rechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen, um sich gegenüber Kunden für verspätete Waren abzusichern. Über diese und viele weitere Themen diskutiert Host Andrea Sellmann mit ihren Gästen Clemens Hach und Dalia Samra-Rohte in der neuen Podcast-Folge.Clemens Hach ist Botschafter der Bundesrepublik Deutschland in Manama, der Hauptstadt des Königreichs Bahrain. Und Dalia Samra-Rohte ist Delegierte der Deutschen Wirtschaft für Saudi-Arabien, Bahrain und Jemen. Sie ist für die Auslandshandelskammer in Saudi-Arabien vor Ort und beobachtet die deutsch-bahrainischen Wirtschaftsbeziehungen von Riad aus.Schreiben Sie Ihre Fragen, Kritik und Anmerkungen gern an www@n-tv.de.

Francesco Carresi (Italia – 1997) in arte Kommando, viene a contatto col mondo della musica sin dalla prima infanzia, periodo nel quale comincia a studiare pianoforte, batteria e chitarra in una prestigiosa Accademia Toscana. DJ/Musicista/Produttore sta viaggiando col suo sound e la sua inconfondibile energia in tutto il Mondo toccando i più importanti Club e Festival come elrow, Cocoricò, Bora Bora Ibiza, Bolgia Bergamo, Anfiteatro delle Cascine con Fatboy Slim, Habana Ciudad Electrónica (L'Avana - Cuba), The Club (Milano, Italia), Amma Club (Cancùn, Messico), Kwartz Club (Nizza, Francia), Carnevale di Gran Canaria (Las Palmas), Festival de Cannes (Francia), Teatro OBIHall (Firenze), Folie Terrace (Tirana, Albania), Amnesia Milano, Tinì SoundGarden, Fitzcarraldo e molti altri. Un passo importante per la sua carriera è stato il suo Asian Tour dove si è esibito a Illuzion Phuket (Thailandia - #1 in Asia e #16 nel Mondo DJ MAG), Paradise Beach - Full Moon Festival (Thailandia), Creek Harbour (Dubai - UAE) e Manama con Underground Waves (Bahrain). Produttore di qualità, ha raggiunto la #34 posizione nella TECHNO TOP 100 mondiale Beatport con la sua traccia "Progresso" suonata da Maya Jane Coles ad ANTS, party di Ushuaïa Ibiza. Raggiunge la #39 posizione nella classifica mondiale PROGRESSIVE HOUSE TOP 100 di Traxsource col suo brano "Haaveilla" rilasciata per l'etichetta discografica "Wired" premiata come Miglior Etichetta dell'Anno 2018 Traxsource. Dal 2021 collabora con l'archivio vintage di moda “TheCube Archive” fondato dai fashion designer Stefano e Corinna Chiassai ideatori dell'omonimo Studio che da 40 anni disegna collezioni per i più grandi marchi tra cui “Fendi Uomo”. Insieme al Director dell'archivio Marius Hordijk vengono creati look e outfit per Kommando che possano supportarlo a distinguersi ulteriormente nella sua espressione artistica rafforzando quel rapporto di complicità che moda e musica posseggono da sempre. “PIGGYBANK” il suo primo album maturato e pensato durante il periodo della quarantena, periodo di stasi e di fermo che ha portato l'artista ad una grande riflessione interiore decidendo di paragonarsi ad un oggetto fisico, un salvadanaio. Al suo interno emozioni, suoni, sapori e tutti gli elementi delle sue esperienze vissute che lo hanno portato ad essere quello che è oggi. La rottura metaforica del maialino salvadanaio è la condivisione della sua musica col mondo e con se stesso, è la nascita di questo album. Cinque brani di cui tre collaborazioni che raccontano la sua storia passata, presente e futura con l'elemento caratterizzante della sua voce. Il canto sta iniziando sempre di più a farsi strada attraverso le sue produzioni. TRACKLIST 1. KOMMANDO - ID 2. Ewan McVicar - Street Rave 3. Jesse Jacob - Ring Whistler (Original Mix) 4.

Princess Cruises Hotel General Manager Simona Stumberger was selected to serve in this special role as an ambassador for Princess, because she epitomizes professionalism and always delivers service with a smile.A native of Slovenia where Stumberger studied hospitality management, she began her career at sea in the bar department and further diversified her hotel experience by working in guest services, and hand in hand with the hotel and food and beverage divisions.

This creates a uniquely entrancing and customisable experience as guests control their own volume and switch between channels to hear different genres of music.This new offering also enables Cunard to take the nightclub proposition out of the main venues and into more unexpected places – transforming areas with parties in the Grand Lobby, on deck or other pop-up locations around the ship.And more...Join the show:If you have a cruise tip, burning question or want to record a cruise review get in touch with us via the website https://thebigcruisepodcast.com/join-the-show/ Guests: Chris Frame: https://bit.ly/3a4aBCg   Chris's Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/ChrisFrameOfficialListen & Subscribe: Amazon Podcasts: https://amzn.to/3w40cDcApple Podcasts: https://apple.co/2XvD7tF Audible: https://adbl.co/3nDvuNgCastbox: https://bit.ly/2xkGBEI Google Podcasts: https://bit.ly/2RuY04u I heart Radio:  https://ihr.fm/3mVIEUASpotify: https://spoti.fi/3caCwl8 Stitcher: https://bit.ly/2JWE8Tz Pocket casts: https://bit.ly/2JY4J2M Tune in: https://bit.ly/2V0Jrrs Podcast Addict: https://bit.ly/2BF6LnE Hosted on Acast.

Juifs du monde arabe, pourquoi sont-ils partis? (3/7) - Frédéric Abecassis,Joshua Cole,Avner Ofrath,Abdelkrim Boufarra,Benjamin Badier,Eirik Kvindesland

A daily news briefing from Catholic News Agency, powered by artificial intelligence. Ask your smart speaker to play “Catholic News,” or listen every morning wherever you get podcasts. www.catholicnewsagency.com - In Bahrain on Sunday morning, Pope Francis prayed with Catholics from the Arabian Peninsula and encouraged them to be bold in proclaiming the Gospel in their countries. “All who are baptized have received the Spirit and so become prophets. As such, we cannot pretend not to see the works of evil, so as to live a ‘quiet life' and not get our hands dirty,” he said November 6 in Sacred Heart Church in Manama. “How is it possible for a Christian who wants to live his faith not to get his or her hands dirty?” the pope reiterated. “On the contrary, we received a Spirit of prophecy to proclaim the Gospel by our living witness.” Pope Francis met with Catholic priests, religious, and lay people on the last day of his historic visit to Bahrain, an overwhelmingly Muslim country. His November 3–6 trip included encounters with authorities, Muslim leaders, and the small Catholic community, including a Mass with around 30,000 people in Bahrain's national soccer stadium — the first-ever public papal Mass in the country. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/252742/pope-francis-tells-catholics-on-the-arabian-peninsula-to-be-bold-in-proclaiming-the-gospel A new PG-13 version of Mark Wahlberg's latest Catholic film, “Father Stu,” is coming back to the big screen December 9 with an aim at widening the audience to include more families with children, according to the movie's director and screenwriter, Rosalind Ross. The film chronicles the life of Father “Stu” Stewart Long, a rough-around-the-edges Montana boxer turned Catholic priest in a riveting story of loss, suffering, and redemption. However, the new cut drops more than 100 swears and all religious profanity. “We wanted to remove that obstacle and open the experience up to the whole family. We really just listened to the audience and were blessed to have a chance to react to that,” the director said. “I think it'll open a discussion about God and redemption and suffering and purpose and things that most of us probably don't talk about enough with our kids,” she said. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/252736/father-stu-profanity-edited-out-new-version-in-theaters Today, the Church celebrates Saint Peter Ou, one of the Martyrs of China. He was born to a non-Christian family in 1768. As a young man, he was outspoken with had a deep understanding of justice, and would eventually come to the defense of the poor and oppressed. He married and ran his own business, which was a large hotel. He was one of the first to convert to Christianity after missionaries arrived in his area, and he took the name Peter at his baptism. He enthusiastically preached Christianity to anyone who came by, later becoming a lay leader of the converts in his district. He also worked as a catechist. In 1814, he was imprisoned and tortured in a violent backlash against the faith. Under these conditions, he continued to inspire his fellow prisoners in the faith, and he led prayer services in the cells. He was sentenced to death for refusing to apostatize by stepping on a crucifix. Peter was canonized by Pope John Paul II in 2000. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/saint/st-peter-ou-648

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 15-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East, and the Jewish world, from Sunday through Thursday. Political correspondent Carrie Keller-Lynn and Environment reporter Sue Surkes join host Amanda Borschel-Dan on today's packed program. We also have brief onsite updates from political reporter Tal Schneider in Bahrain and diplomacy reporter Lazar Berman in Kiev. We begin with Schneider, who has accompanied Prime Minister Naftali Bennett on the first visit by the head of the Jewish state to Bahrain. What does Bennett hope to accomplish? We then turn to Berman, who is finding it's basically business as usual in Kyiv. At least on the surface. Surkes chimes in and reports on conversations she had with Ukrainian Jews and relief organizations as the country faces an uncertain future. Next, we turn to Keller-Lynn who reports on a briefing yesterday in Jerusalem's beautiful King David hotel with United States Senator Lindsey Graham. What is this mutual defense agreement he speaks of? And finally, Surkes recently visited a new tourist attraction at the dying Dead Sea near one of the sites that could be the biblical Sodom. Worth a visit? And is the Israeli government trying to prevent further damage to one of the world's true natural wonders? Discussed articles include: In Bahrain, Bennett pledges to aid country in fight against Iran As Israel scrambles to get citizens out, Kyiv streets seem preternaturally tranquil Ukraine-Russia crisis: Diplomacy steps up in last-ditch effort to avoid imminent war In Ukraine, young Jews torn between fighting for their country, or leaving ‘My bag's packed': Jewish lawyer who fled 2014 Ukraine fight readies for the worst US Senator Graham in Israel: Time to develop ‘guardrails' around Iran's nuke program Subscribe to The Times of Israel Daily Briefing on iTunes, Spotify, PlayerFM, Google Play, or wherever you get your podcasts.

50 years of diplomatic tiesFrom Bal Al Bahrain, where the entrance to the ancient city of Manama with all its cultural and historical heritage, cultural activities to commemorate the Golden Jubilee of diplomatic ties between the Kingdom of Bahrain and the Republic of India were launched “Culture has always brought us together to celebrate our common heritage and history and today we celebrate fifty years of diplomatic relations between Bahrain and India,” said Her Excellency Shaikha Mai bint Mohammed Al Khalifa on the occasion.

Pour l'occasion, le numéro 972 avait été dessiné en chiffres d'or sur l'appareil ! 972, comme l'indicatif téléphonique d'Israël. Un symbole pour cet avion de la compagnie nationale de Bahreïn, qui a atterri le 30 septembre 2021 à Manama, la capitale du pays. Ce vol en provenance de Tel-Aviv a marqué la reprise des liens entre l'État hébreu et plusieurs pays arabes de la région.  Voir deux pilotes éclater de rire en sortant chacun un drapeau de leur appareil à l'issue du premier vol direct (550 dollars l'aller-retour) entre Tel Aviv et Manama au Bahreïn restera ancré dans l'Histoire !  Les accords d'Abraham de 2020 Décidé dans le cadre des accords d'Abraham de l'an dernier, ce premier vol Tel-Aviv - Manama arrive après d'autres nouvelles liaisons entre l'État hébreu et ses voisins du Proche-Orient (Émirats arabes unis, Égypte, Maroc, Soudan…)  Emirates Airlines et EgyptAir  De nouvelles destinations qui vont bouleverser l'économie de demain. Tourisme, donc transport de passagers, mais aussi les marchandises, explique Steve Jourdin, historien à l'École des hautes études sociales supérieures de Paris : « Moi le premier, je ne croyais pas beaucoup à ces accords d'Abraham signés en 2020. Mais je dois dire que si je reste sceptique sur le volet politique avec la création des deux États, palestinien et israélien, le volet économique est très enthousiasmant. Et plutôt rapide puisque le 3 octobre 2021, quelques jours après l'avion Tel-Aviv - Manama, un avion d'Egyptair, la compagnie nationale égyptienne, s'était lui aussi posé sur le tarmac de Tel-Aviv en Israël. C'est une première depuis les accords de paix de 1979 ! »    En juillet 2021, c'est un avion israélien qui atterrissait sur le sol marocain. Des liaisons porteuses de partenariats économiques ave chacun des pays concernés. Parmi les priorités, l'eau, l'énergie, la sécurité. Le développement de drones de surveillance a d'ailleurs déjà commencé avec les Émirats.  Du transport de paix pour la région  Ofer Bronstein connaît très bien la région. Président du Forum international pour la paix, il sait que nouvelle liaison aérienne rime avec le développement d'autres moyens de transports, des routes, des trains. Et dans les grandes villes, des métros, des transports en commun : « Bahrein, comme les Émirats arabes unis, avec cette première liaison aérienne, ont tout à gagner. Notamment auprès de l'administration américaine. Mais aussi aux yeux du monde, avec des échanges économiques plus transparents. Car je le précise, les échanges entre certains pays arabes et Israël n'ont jamais cessé, ils se faisaient juste dans la plus grande discrétion. Ces nouvelles liaisons aériennes vont aussi ouvrir les routes à Israël pour des vols vers l'Europe et l'Asie du sud est, vraiment raccourcis. Tous ces kilomètres en moins signifient des vols beaucoup moins chers et prometteurs de liens commerciaux. », assure-t-il.  200 milliards de dollars de pertes Désormais, les Israéliens n'ont plus besoin de visas pour se rendre aux Émirats arabes unis. Cette normalisation des procédures c'est aussi sortir de la crise du secteur aérien.  Reprise totale en 2023  Willie Walsh, le directeur de l'Association internationale de l'aviation le sait, puisqu'à Boston au début du mois d'octobre 2021, il a ouvert l'assemblée générale en rappelant les dégâts de la pandémie sur les voyages d'affaires et le tourisme. Pour la reprise oui, mais un marché total, remis sur pied, pas avant 2023. 

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 15-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East, and the Jewish world, from Sunday through Thursday. Political writer Tal Schneider and diplomatic correspondent Lazar Berman are today's guests with Jessica Steinberg hosting. Berman discusses foreign minister Lapid's day-long trip to Bahrain late last week, when he inaugurated the Israeli embassy. He also analyzes the deeper meaning behind Lapid's visit to the US Fifth Fleet, which operates in the Persian Gulf and Indian Ocean, where Iran has been stepping up operations and covert attacks. Schneider follows with a conversation about the opening session of the Knesset, where the opposition is back in power and the plenum discussions are expected to be intensive. Berman and Schneider also take a look at the recent headlines about the 'Pandora Papers,' which may implicate financial misdeeds by Jordan's King Abdullah and Likud lawmaker Nir Barkat.

Bahrain is a land of contrasts: Arab and Persian, Sunni and Shi’a, indigenous and migrant, rich and poor. As the Arab Spring swept through the region in 2011, Bahrainis of all stripes saw the opportunity to express their discontent with the status quo in the country. However, unlike the other nations that experienced protests, Bahrain’s Spring was brutally crushed by the regime within a few weeks. Today, dissidents are either exiled, in jail, or dead, and the rule of the House of Khalifa is more iron-gripped than ever. But for a brief few weeks in 2011, Bahrainis dared to dream, and today we will revisit those dreams and the nightmare that followed.

In Arabia Saudita c'è una chiara spaccatura all'interno della famiglia reale tra chi vuole aprire un dialogo ufficiale con Israele e chi invece è contrario. La conferenza organizzata a Manama, in Bahrein, ha evidenziato questa spaccatura, con parole al vetriolo di un rappresentante saudita contro Israele. A rispondergli da Gerusalemme, nella stessa conferenza, il ministro degli Esteri Gabi Ashkenazi. Un confronto al centro dell'audio pilpul di questa sera.

In this episode of the "Bedouins Upclose Series" we sit down with Saud & Reem two Bahraini Entrepreneurs and the faces behind "The Cult"; a one stop shop & platform for communities, vendors, events, and everything else you can imagine. We talk about their story through the startup landscape and their some of their lesser known times dealing with their very own "Drama in Manama".

We're back, starting with a short conversation with Tel Aviv based programmer and designer Ariel Malka, who develops experimental interactive projects. Next we hear TJB's audio performance, expressing the artist’s non-binary self as 40 droplets of water impacting a heated sheet of steel. Following that, we have our monthly conversation, which is about “Utopia,” the elusive and idyllic no-place of a happier and more just society. The idea of utopia has had many consequences throughout history, and much has been built and unbuilt around it. Participants in this conversation include a diverse group of researchers, artists and designers composed by Susana Delahante Matienzo (Cuban, based in Amsterdam), Giuliana Visco (based in Rome), and Ou Ning (based in China). Finally, our host Sylvain Souklaye chats with KMRU to introduce the work of Sarah Badr (FRKTL), whose new, untitled sound art piece closes the episode. This podcast series is produced by Sylvain Souklaye, with Dalida María Benfield and Chris Bratton. Ariel Malkahttp://ariel.chronotext.org/ TJB TJB, is a non-binary artist-philosopher whose work focuses upon the conception of the body, Being and the idea of a multiplicity of Self/s in performance.

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ http://www.bastabugie.it/it/articoli.php?id=5688L'ISLAMIZZAZIONE DELL'EUROPA PASSA DALLA SCUOLA di Mauro FaverzaniCome volevasi dimostrare. Esperimento fallito. Inserire corsi di arabo nella scuola pubblica francese, per occidentalizzare l'islam ha prodotto l'effetto esattamente contrario ovvero sta islamizzando l'Occidente.L'ultima riforma scolastica d'Oltralpe, che pretendeva di arginare così la radicalizzazione negli allievi "a rischio", ingenuamente non ha tenuto conto di diversi fattori:1) che i corsi della République sarebbero andati pressoché deserti, perché i figli delle famiglie musulmane l'arabo non lo imparano certo in classe bensì nella madrasa;2) che, nella madrasa, la lingua viene loro insegnata su testi non censurati, tali pertanto da istigare, senza filtri, all'odio verso gli «infedeli»;3) che qualsiasi tentativo fatto in classe, ad esempio dai professori di storia, di spiegare le origini dell'islam viene recisamente respinto dagli alunni islamici, che nella madrasa han ricevuto ben altra versione, inculcata loro come vera.AGGRESSIONI NEI CONFRONTI DEI DOCENTICol risultato, già verificatosi, di vere e proprie aggressioni nei confronti dei docenti. Come è avvenuto a Bordeaux, in una quinta superiore. Nella madrasa ed in moschea circolano opuscoli, spesso scaricabili anche da Internet, con cui si squalificano totalmente le leggi di uno Stato, ritenendo ch'esse non possano "competere" con la legge di Allah, ritenuta l'unica autentica.In un suo libro, Principal de collège ou imam de la République, il prof. Bernard Ravet, 66 anni, ex-preside di tre istituti superiori in quella sorta di Bronx francese, che è Marsiglia, tra il 1999 ed il 2012, ha raccolto alcune delle "perle" udite con le sue orecchie a scuola, ov'era semplicissimo esser considerati «infedeli», era sufficiente credere nelle regole fissate dal Parlamento e non ritenere ad esse superiore la sharia islamica oppure partecipare alle elezioni. In una fatwa, pronunciata dal Gran Mufti dell'Arabia Saudita, finanziato dalla famiglia reale, si spiega come «Allah abbia spezzato il filo dell'amicizia e dell'amore tra i musulmani e gli infedeli», ponendo tra gli uni e gli altri «inimicizia ed odio eterno, finché non si creda ad Allah ed a lui solo». Ciò, in risposta ad un musulmano, che chiese come dovesse comportarsi nei confronti di un cristiano, che lo chiamava «fratello».A lanciare l'allarme è ora la professoressa Lina Murr Nehmé, storica e politologa franco-libanese, specialista del mondo arabo contemporaneo e docente all'Università di Beirut: lei ha precisato come «il problema in Francia sia che si giudicano i terroristi, ma non coloro che li hanno formati». Un problema non solo della Francia, a dir la verità, bensì di tutto l'Occidente in generale.FRANCIA RECIDIVAMa la Francia, già ferita dagli efferati attentati degli ultimi anni, dimostra, questo è vero, di non aver ancora capito la lezione. Così ecco la decisione della facoltà di Medicina dell'Università di Parigi Diderot di rinviare di due giorni gli esami, poiché la data fissata coincideva con la festa di Aïd-el-Fitr ovvero con la conclusione del Ramadan. In un Paese europeo a maggioranza cristiana tante ossequiose attenzioni verso le ricorrenze islamiche - e solo verso quelle - non sono solo fuori luogo, ma vengono anche male interpretate come segni di debolezza e di sostanziale apostasia. Così non stupisce che, ad esempio, in una scuola elementare di Winterthur, nella vicina Svizzera, ora gli alunni musulmani pretendano che i compagni di classe «infedeli» ovvero cristiani osservino il digiuno come loro durante il Ramadan, senza risparmiare pressioni psicologiche ed atti di stalking verso quanti non si adeguino. Ciò, nell'indifferenza più totale ovvero senza che nessuno senta la necessità di agire, di intervenire, nemmeno le organizzazioni di categoria degli insegnanti, del tutto zitte in merito, secondo quanto denunciato dall'agenzia on line austriaca Heute.Franziska Peterhans, segretario generale dell'Lch, associazione elvetica dei docenti, ritiene che, in realtà, nessuno al momento venga "mobbizzato" e che pertanto, qualora degli alunni intendano digiunare per motivi religiosi propri, tale scelta debba essere «rispettata, conformemente a quanto previsto dalla Costituzione federale». Dipende da cosa si intenda per mobbing, pare che le definizioni siano molto elastiche in Svizzera. E nel resto d'Europa. Intanto, l'islamizzazione del Continente continua.Nota di BastaBugie: Souad Sbai nell'articolo seguente dal titolo "Infine Trump metterà fuori legge i Fratelli Musulmani" fa capire che se l'Europa sta accettando passivamente che l'islam trionfi, dall'altra parte dell'oceano il presidente degli Stati Uniti intende mettere fuori legge i Fratelli Musulmani come organizzazione terroristica. Si tratta di una vera rivoluzione nella politica estera americana e può aprire un nuovo spiraglio di speranza nella lotta al jihad internazionale.Ecco l'articolo completo pubblicato su La Nuova Bussola Quotidiana il 2 maggio 2019:Il presidente degli Stati Uniti, Donald Trump, intende mettere fuori legge i Fratelli Musulmani come organizzazione terroristica. Già prima di varcare la soglia della Casa Bianca aveva lasciato trapelare questa possibilità tramite il suo staff, ma una volta insediato e prese in mano le redini dell'amministrazione si è trovato di fronte al parere contrario di un numero significativo e influente di "officials" del Dipartimento di Stato, del Pentagono e degli apparati di sicurezza.In seguito all'embargo lanciato nel giugno 2017 dal Quartetto anti-terrorismo arabo contro il Qatar, il principale sponsor dei Fratelli Musulmani in tutto il mondo insieme alla Turchia di Erdogan, fu l'allora Segretario di Stato in persona, Rex Tillerson, ad escludere che Washington potesse bandire la Fratellanza nella sua totalità come organizzazione terroristica, poiché esponenti e partiti politici ad essa affiliati erano parte integrante di diversi governi e parlamenti in paesi del Medio Oriente con cui gli Stati Uniti avrebbero dovuto necessariamente mantenere relazioni e contatti.Tillerson si limitò a menzionare Turchia e Bahrein, nel primo caso per dimostrare l'impraticabilità della messa fuori legge dei Fratelli Musulmani, che avrebbe implicato la rottura pressoché totale dei rapporti con uno stato membro della NATO con cui una forma di dialogo e cooperazione andava gioco forza mantenuta, nonostante Erdogan e le sue politiche di supporto all'estremismo. Nel secondo, invece, probabilmente per delegittimare l'embargo nei confronti del Qatar da parte del Quartetto, di cui il Bahrein è membro insieme ad Arabia Saudita, Emirati Arabi Uniti ed Egitto.In Bahrein in effetti si trovavano in parlamento esponenti islamisti, ma affiliati a gruppi minoritari e reputati dal governo di Manama non sovversivi o collegati a organizzazioni terroristiche, contrariamente ai Fratelli Musulmani in Egitto, Tunisia, Siria, Libia e in altri paesi di Medio Oriente, Nord Africa e Golfo che Tillerson dimenticò (o omise) di ricordare, Qatar in testa. Di conseguenza, se l'ex Segretario intendeva far risaltare la presunta incoerenza del Bahrein, che con il Quartetto aveva dichiarato illegali i Fratelli Musulmani, il suo tentativo è stato alquanto malmirato e lasciava trapelare una malcelata propensione per Doha che non deve aver giovato al suo rapporto con Trump.Le dimissioni di Tillerson, rimpiazzato da Pompeo, e la successiva fuoriuscita di Mattis dal Pentagono, ancora non ufficialmente sostituito, hanno liberato il campo da figure apicali e carismatiche che si erano frapposte tra il presidente americano e l'obiettivo di dichiarare la Fratellanza organizzazione terroristica per gettarla in uno stato d'illegalità internazionale.Tuttavia, come fa notare il New York Times, anche il più recente rilancio dell'idea di bandire i Fratelli Musulmani, incoraggiata dal Presidente egiziano Al Sisi in visita alla Casa Bianca, deve fronteggiare l'opposizione della rete trasversale dei summenzionati "officials", con la sponda di think tanks e giornaloni americani sul libro paga di Doha (si vedano rispettivamente i casi Brookings Institute e "Qatar Newspapers", quest'ultimo collegato all'uscita del film Blood Money, che mostra come il Qatar abbia infiltrato i media americani ricorrendo alla minaccia di "hackerare" i giornalisti per intimidirli quando non intendevano mettersi al servizio della causa islamista neppure sotto pagamento).Trump riuscirà questa volta nel suo intento? Pur riconoscendo l'effettiva complessità dell'attuazione di un bando integrale, l'imposizione da parte di Washington di sanzioni internazionali mirate nei confronti di attività economiche e di altra natura legate alla Fratellanza, e nei confronti dei suoi militanti maggiormente coinvolti in attività d'indottrinamento e radicalizzazione, ridurrebbe significativamente la capacità dell'organizzazione islamista di diffondere l'estremismo che ha generato il terrorismo jihadista contemporaneo di ISIS e Al Qaeda.Si tratterebbe di un'autentica rivoluzione della politica internazionale, che aprirebbe nuove prospettive di pace, stabilità e sviluppo in Medio Oriente. La capacità del Quartetto di respingere il tentativo dei Fratelli Musulmani di stabilire dittature fondamentaliste in tutta la regione, come già accaduto durante la cosiddetta Primavera Araba, risulterebbe enormemente rafforzata dal sostegno della superpotenza americana. Trump va pertanto sostenuto e incoraggiato nel portare avanti questa iniziativa, che dovrebbe essere abbracciata anche in Europa, specie dopo l'uscita dei "Qatar Papers", libro che documenta come il Qatar abbia impunemente finanziato le moschee radicali dei Fratelli Musulmani in tutta Europa, Italia compresa.

Published on Nov 10, 2014. In the spring of 2011 it was almost impossible to turn on a TV and not see the scene taking place seemingly everywhere in the Arab world. Beginning in late 2010, a fruit merchant by the name of Muhammad al-Bouazizi set himself on fire in the streets of Tunisia after having his product once again arbitrarily confiscated by police. Although the protest of self-immolation was not new to the region, the act became a wildfire for wide spread unrest, and within a short amount of time thousands were out in the street protesting and rioting against corruption, unemployment and high food prices. Soon thereafter, in January of 2011 riots broke out in Algiers. Amidst demands, Tunisian president Ben Ali promised to step down by 2014, and then the very next day fled the country to Saudi Arabia. A few days go by and soon massive protests break out in Egypt, Bahrain and Libya. Dozens are killed when security forces come to qualm rising tensions, only to add to the unrest. Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak and King Abdullah of Jordan dismiss their governments and promise reform. Demonstrations erupt in Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Palestine. Morocco, Oman and Syria add their names to the list and just as if it had slipped as silently out of our conscience as it had abruptly entered - it appeared to be over. The majority of countries appeared to go back to business as usual. Tunisia was one of the lucky ones as experts deemed it a revolutionary success in Democratic reform. Unfortunately, not all could make that claim. Syria spun into total disarray and civil war that is the mess we see today. Similarly Yemen has spiraled into civil war and has been largely forgotten in the media as its people are squeezed between two powerhouses of the Persian Gulf, Saudi Arabia and Iran, as the two engage in an indirect form of conflict called a proxy war. Millions around the world watched on televisions, newspapers and social media with warm regards of the promise of Democracy for millions. Perhaps I should only speak for myself in saying that I truly believed a great thing was in the making, and despite awful tragedies of the price being paid its citizens, I reveled in the idea that we were witnessing a sincere rebirth for many nations - a fresh start. I was wrong. There pervades a mythology in American society that the path to Democracy is inevitable, and that one need only to get the ball rolling in the right direction. The spirit of Lady Liberty and the ghosts of our forefathers will do the rest, as if the rest of the world somehow secretly wanted (or was even ready for that matter) for a heavy dose of export ed US Democracy. If we have learned anything in this time, it is this: Democracy takes an immeasurable amount of patience, diligence, commitment, heart and courage - and in no way it is ever guaranteed. Today on Majority Villain we look at one country’s engagement in the Arab Spring: Bahrain. The small island nation of Bahrain lies just off the coast of Saudi Arabia, and it has like many other nations of the Persian Gulf, more humble beginnings. It was known for most of its history for its pearl fisheries, and Great Britain had long been a presence in the region before the 1931 discovery of petroleum. Rapid modernization and a series of flirtations with parliamentary politics followed thereafter. Bahrain is a constitutional monarchy, meaning it has both a royal family and a constitution. Matar was a member of the political party Al-Wefaq, and even though the government has three separate legislatures of 40 seats each the relative strength of checks and balances is largely overpowered by the will of the King, Shaikh Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa. The Al-Khalifa royal family has maintained considerable control over the nation, and it wasn’t until 2006 that opposition party Al-Wefaq won a majority of seats in parliament. Matar was a member of this party. The Bahrain Uprising: On February 4th protests erupt outside the Egyptian embassy in Manama. The 14th became dubbed the “Day of Rage” as thousands of people got out to protest in rallies. Security forces immediately began to crack down on demonstrators. That evening, one protestor by the name of Ali Mushaima is shot in the back and killed. The next days of mourning brought only more sympathizers to rally around the Pearl Roundabout, a massive monument to the country’s humble beginnings in the pearl fisheries in the days long before the discovery of petroleum. The early hours of February 17th would come to be known as “Bloody Thursday” when nearly 1000 police came to break up the meager 1500 or so protestors who had begun camping in the area. Over 200 were hospitalized and 3 were killed. That evening, 18 members of parliament from the opposition group Al-Wefaq resigned. Matar was among them. A vast amount of tension in the middle east stems from conflicts between Saudi Arabia and Iran. Iran is a Shia Majority nation that has become increasingly fundamentalist since their revolution in 1979. Saudi Arabia is a majority Sunni country that has an understanding of shared power between the Saudi family (literally where the country gets its name. How about that for a birthday present) and Wahhabism - an extremely fundamentalist and conservative branch of state-sponsored Sunni Islam. While Bahrain and Saudi Arabia are politically intertwined, Iran and Bahrain that are both majority Shia. This places the Bahraini movement for democracy in a peculiar place.
