Faybusovich among my friends (so today is a Russian language) there is a person whose activities are very nice to me. Faith Lavreshina. Active person. Protector push power – from the victims of the Gulag victims Bulaga. Constantly on the picket lines. Constantly in the fight. And it’s great! In fact – great! Because nothing ventured… you know. And our something not just lying – it just grew in the dirt. In General, we have plenty of active, kind, selfless…
But… But I read today on the ribbon, the message from Faith: “Support the prisoners “Hizb ut-Tahrir, in their ideology there is NO extremism.” And, you know, caught. First, because about the organization that I almost do not know – somehow to anything I had to study the shades of the “Islamic revival”. And secondly, well, how not to catch, if such a good man for these guys, as she says, “harnessed”. In General, I decided to investigate. Google.
Well, the first thing that was able to detect that this organization (in Russian “Islamic liberation”) in Russia was banned. As extremists. Well, it’s – you know – not talking about a lot of things: we have extremists who are just not announced. Who are against the government – and the extremist. And secondly, as Faith says, in the ideology of these guys, in fact, of extremism, in the sense of violence, no. They believe their goal to achieve without bloodshed. There are, of course, attempts to hang on to them and violence is terror, but few of these attempts seem convincing. In American and sobesovice lists of terrorists of the Islamic liberators not included. And it about something Yes speaks. In General, peace guys. Although banned in Russia.
And here is the most important thing. And what is the guys goal? Any way they want by peaceful means? The goal is a global Caliphate and living the principles of Islam. Exactly? Well, more specifically – how ancestors lived, they are very respect the customs of their ancestors. With stoning, cutting off hands, flogging the innocent from punishment, well, in General, as believers today live in many countries, including its closest allies, without the Caliphate. Here it is guys and fight. Exclusively by peaceful means. Give life, as in the 8th century!
Strictly speaking, they are not even conservatives could be called. Conservatives – those who do not want to change, want to keep what they have. The dreamers of the past – it’s not the conservatives. It’s just people who don’t understand the sense of history, sense of progress and therefore trying to draw the human development back. To make a person more primitive. That is, if we ignore the clever terminology that guides are bad, people do not understand that it is better and what is worse, because trying to make people (and society, of course) worse than it is.
For carriers of such ideas are called by many names, but they all sound very good: people feel the danger of their dreams and are protected from them – and from the dreams and dreamers from the threat. But, of course, among the least developed such preachers find their catch. That “liberators” were found according to different estimates up to a million people. And a half billion Muslims, like, a little. But this is how you look – million-this active, passionate.
And then the question arises: what should society do with people who hamper its development, strive to make people worse, more primitive – that is, corrupt them, if not to be afraid of direct words? The answer is quite obvious – to protect: to limit abusers the ability to corrupt. Well, about what we do with pedophiles, although here we are talking about the more dangerous forms of corruption.
How to protect yourself – to put in jail? Well, it’s just absolutely not necessary – the prison itself corrupts people, corruption with corruption can not fight. So the question is “how?” here is an open question. But the fact that the need for protection is obvious: and here it doesn’t matter whether we’re talking about men in turbans, or about child molesters in cassocks, or the men in suits…
What about freedom of speech? Here’s how: corrupting, bad word of freedom should be smaller than the word educational.
But what about the protection of victims of judicial and legal abuse? Because, really, they’re not extremists. And their extremism. Unfair the same. Yes, unfair. But it is necessary to understand two things.
First. It is necessary to abandon the adjustment of the rights of preachers and good preachers are bad. Otherwise we inevitably become what is called “useful idiots”. In practice, this means the allocation of priorities: first, to “harness” for the good, then the neutral victims of state tyranny, and for the unjustly wronged the bearers of evil – only in the last turn.
And the second thing. Intercede for the “poor victims”, not the fact of his intercession to whitewash their badness. And this is really happening constantly. And even the term “protection of political prisoners” provokes such a whitewash. “He” means “good” by definition. Once, in Soviet times this was so. But times have changed. And prisoners often people are bad and even very bad. And bad not in themselves, not as people, but ideology, the carriers of which they are. We have here a good long time would need to replace the term “political prisoner” to “prisoners of conscience” (enclosed in the bearing of ideas of the good). But we are too inert for this. And move us to Germany 20 years – we would defend Hitler…
As we post these two dimensions of “good-bad” and “fair-fair caught in the millstones of the punitive system”? To do it is not so difficult. This punitive system is built such that it is not fair peremanivat anyone. Take any – not too he justly punished (unless, of course, have in mind gegovska-Hindu “punishment without guilt does not happen”): doesn’t make him the prison is better and does not make the fact of his landing better society. So what is really there justice!.. But the victims of injustice – people are very different. There are those who puts the life for people, making us all better. And there are those who puts a life for the pocket of interest. And those who puts life over idiotic idea to grow back (“Mom, Rodi me back!”).
And this difference we see necessary. Even when it is not easy to see. For example – when the call to awaken our conscience sounds like “extremist”: brought down to, say, on us, dear God, brimstone and fire. What was hidden in the prison is not just a prisoner, a real prisoner of conscience Boris Stomakhin.
