He besides ended these notes about religion in remedy to a problem from Nicolas Teindas of Le Parisien:
In Saudi Arabia you assumed, "God is in the support of every man." Is that your specific sight or were you dialect as a understanding of State?
In Saudi Arabia an desirable essential exertion is playing out. It is the land that guards the holy seats, Mecca, and yet Saudi Arabia call for overstretch extremists. Emperor Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, a few weeks forward my trip, went to see the Pope - an unknown motion for the guardian of the holy sites of Islam. He assumed to him: "Because we ply in complete, religion, is greatly first-class explanation than what divides us". It was a astonishing gesture! And so I gave a address on religion saying that it was luscious to complete, or to staff in the name of religion. I assumed that gift is not a word in the Torah, not a word in the Bible, not a word in the Koran, that condones malice, hate, or devotion. And that everything call for be done to get out of a moral war between Islam and the West. That is why I mock about religion. For the partisan God is in every man. It is a caging I took from a scolding subject by John Paul II when he came to speak on Making Young Day at Longchamp. I'm not saying that religion is the repair to all our evils. But I ply observed that when moral principles are unrestrained, "la"ic principles" are besides unrestrained, and symbols has any principles at all. I respect populace who are not believers. I face-to-face do not practice. But Malraux assumed, "The 21st century incentive be moral or gift incentive be no 21st century".
For first-class on what Malraux assumed, see my adjacent post.
The burden with what he is saying is that it did not entreaty to be assumed. France has been living in the same way as 1905 in a duality of Church/State extrication. They ply become relaxed to the fact that some consider and others do not. Sarkozy keeps wet in a daze at the outlook that we call for respect religions to the same degree that is what underlies "la"icit'e", i.e. respect for one's Christian beliefs or respect for one's lack of Christian beliefs. But the French already knew that.
The recently mortal sermon for enriching up the hornets' nest of religions is that he wishes the French pursuit to respect Islam. It isn't shrill if he hammers in a daze for instance this to his Muslim friends and equals, who according to "la"icit'e" call for besides respect other religions.
He goes on:
The inflate burden in the world is to stop extremists from causing the world to depose happening a moral war. I consider in its entirety in la"icit'e, but I do not consider that it must be a quarrelsome la"icit'e. La"icit'e is recognizing a permit, the permit to consider or not to consider.
Anew he is saying what everyone already knew. His implication that gift can be a moral war can recently be a quotation to Islam in France.
Politics serves as a way of organizing life between biological and death. But it isn't politics that answers the problem "Why biological, and what late death?" This is what we make a call a quest for meaning. I am not saying that recently the spiritual can retort to that problem, but for a choice of it counts a inflate agreement. Slightly time we go to the interment of a affairs belong to or a friend we say to ourselves: the recently thing that is secure is that that incentive reach to us. I'm not the recently one who reflects on that.
In spite of his well-intentioned words, he is simply paving the way for egalitarianism in religion. For Sarkozy, all religions are adequate, in the midst of incredulity and Islam. He inexorably needs a first coat on religion. A grandeur can place odd religions simultaneous with one fresh recently within secure grounds. The countless moral and cultural elements of any grandeur call for be on the same wave length on some level, and best evocatively, gift call for be a winning culture to which all salary their reliability. He association about "la"icit'e" as if it represents a excuse and an zealous rule to income by. He clings to this feeling to the same degree he has minute allowance excessively to get entangled to.
But he has no team speaking about regulation to the law of la"icit'e when he is intentionally unresolved that law to studio Islam. He perseveres in this discrepancy, and it is one of the few areas somewhere Nicolas Sarkozy has been callous consistent.
