of Paola Setti
The leadership of the Young Muslims of Italy has expelled from the Committee sponsors Khaled Chaouki, which in 2001 had helped to establish the first Islamic youth training in our country. He slams Egypt in the fight for democracy, censorship of dissent here
Maybe they would say, young people in Tahrir Square demanding democracy at the cost of living. Khalid Chaouki left the group. He had founded it in 2001, the Association of Young Muslims of Italy. "I wanted it to be a mediator bridge a bridge between Islamic culture and the West, between fathers and sons of the new Islamic presence in Italy." Watchwords integration, dialogue and confrontation. The moderate Islam that crosses the Italian culture, through the intersection with other minorities, religious and linguistic minorities, in the country. They made it out. Door on him as too moderate. So much for those young people who, on the other side of the Mediterranean from Tunisia to Egypt, but the door has opened a new logic of democracy and pluralism. Chaouki
The relationship between the association and was a bit complex ', when, in 2004, he left the presidency denouncing extremist infiltration, and having attracted harsh criticism for his moderate positions, "My calls for a condemnation Net terrorism, I proposed a model of dialogue, nothing was best: the association has embarked on the path of backwardness. I left the presidency, but I thought it my duty to remain in partnership. " Yesterday the body of trustees, which includes the founders of the Committee, has announced that he had voted unanimously its expulsion. With oral communication, "because they did not even have the courage to put pen to paper." Chaouki
explains: "They think to censor dissent and pluralism with the same zeal of the worst dictatorships, which are fighting against other young Arabs and Muslims in the other side of the Mediterranean. My expulsion from the association, which I co-founded in 2001, shows that it is still a long way towards meeting some of the other organizational realities of Islam in Italian. " Hence the appeal to other young Muslims to distance themselves by the Association: "It is disheartening to note that the hopes of the second generation of Muslims in Italy are so sadly misplaced. I am sure that with me, many young people will express the will of change and rebellion and sectarian methods so now out of time. " Khalid, Moroccan, 28 years in Italy for twenty, he was member of the Council of Islam, created in 2006 by then Interior Minister Giuseppe Pisanu. Today, immigration is responsible for Youth of the Democratic Party. It has become a symbol of moderate Islam, integrated, open.
Now they have "tried as a medieval court," judging even "dangerous, worthless, harmful, contrary to my community, so I'm told." A signal
"awesome" feel now vice president of the Jewish community of Milan, Daniele Nahum, which records a "change in political direction of the Association of Young Muslims, as opposed to carrying forward Khalid." For years, warns Nahum, the Young Muslims have stopped the dialogue and almost canceled the meetings with the Jewish community: "By Khalid president we have carried out many joint initiatives for dialogue among peoples and the role of ethnic and religious minorities in Italy. The deportation of Khalid, a leading exponent of the general assembly and opening line, a signal is terrible and dangerous. " Solidarity with Chaouki also came from the secretary of the Union Islamic Communities and Organisations in Italy (UCOII), Ahmed Paolantoni.
