Aziz al-Azmeh, among many critics, has been one of the most prominent figures in assering that 'there are as many Islams as there are situations that sustain it'. مثقفونا "المتنورون" يقولون إن الدين ليس هو منشأ الارهاب بل تمثلاته "الخاطئة" في رؤوس الارهابيين......لكن السؤال هنا: وما هو الدين غير تمثلاته في أذهان معتنقيه؟ الأجدر أن نقول أن منشأ الارهاب ليس هذا التمثل أو ذاك للدين بل النظام الاجتماعي الذي تنشأ في خضمه تلك التمثلات.... ولعل أكثر التمثلات "خطأ" للدين جعله جوهرا متعاليا عن التاريخ. فيظهر هنا كدين إرهابي "بالفطرة" ويظهر هناك كدين "متسامح" "بالجوهر".. أما الدين فهو بالضبط تمثلاته المتغيرة والمتحولة وفق سياقها التاريخي، ولا وجود لجوهر للدين إلا كتمثل خاص ينتجه التطور التاريخي... لكن ماذا نفعل، فمثقفينا يحاربون الارهاب .......بالاسهاب محمد المثلوثي، تونس، 22 نوفمبر 2015

Capitalist "democracy" The 20 people on top of the Forbes 400 list – “a group that could fit comfortably in one single Gulfstream G650 luxury jet” according to the report’s authors – own more wealth than the bottom half of the American population, which is about 152 million people. That’s about 57m households, or a population of 40 US states.  FTSE 100 chief executives (CEO) earn on average 183 times more than a full-time UK worker, research suggests .
