I cannot thank you enough for your translation. Wonderful ! " Islamism is Islam in all its logic and exactness. Islamism is present within Islam like the chick within the egg, like the fruit within the flower, like the tree within the seed ( Henri Boulad)"

but we can distinguish between chick and egg, between fruit and flower, between tree and seed ! It is a word ..that make all the difference, within (inside) , "potential" capable of becoming or developing into something.

TO MAKE NO DISTINCTION BETWEEN "POTENTIAL" AND " REAL, EFFECTIVE" IS THE BIGGEST MISTAKE. I MADE THE MISTAKE OF THINKING THAT NO DISTINCTION BETWEEN POTENTIAL ...AND REAL, EFFECTIVE.

In reply to the accusations brought against me (I am talking), it's definitively a case of murder, a crime against peace, a crime against humanity, a crime against state security, a crime of ..lèse-majesté (lese-majesty, the insulting of ruler, treason).

But you wouldn't give me a straight answer about Daniel Pipes.

Is a courageous man ! I stand with him. Our goal : identifying who is islamist, (distinguishing between chick and egg, between fruit and flower, between tree and seed).
