Staaten reagieren auf IS-Videos mit Hinrichtungen
Die Hinrichtungsvideos von der Terrormiliz IS sind schockierend. Laut Amnesty-International-Bericht haben sie zudem die Folge, dass Staaten wieder häufiger die Todesstrafe
Es dauerte nur ein paar Stunden. Am 4. Februar, morgens um vier, legte ein Henker in einem Gefängnis in Jordanien zuerst einer Frau, dann einem Mann die Schlinge um den Hals. Dann vollbrachte er sein Werk. Die Exekution der beiden mutmaßlichen islamistischen Terroristen war Jordaniens Antwort auf ein Video, das die Terrormiliz Islamischer Staat (IS) am Abend zuvor ins Internet gestellt hatte. Die Bilder, wie ein entführter jordanischer Kampfpilot in einem Käfig verbrannt wurde, gingen um die Welt. ...
Im neuen Amnesty-Jahresbericht zur Todesstrafe, ist von einem "dramatischen Anstieg" bei Todesurteilen die Rede. Weltweit gab es 2014 mindestens 2466 derartige Urteile, ein Plus von 28 Prozent. Allein in Ägypten und Nigeria - zwei Staaten, die massiv unter islamistischem Terror leiden - verhängte die Justiz mehr als 1100 Todesurteile. Die meisten ergingen in Massenprozessen, unter zweifelhaften Umständen.
Der Generalsekretär von Amnesty International, Salil Shetty, spricht von einer "dunklen Tendenz" in einigen Staaten, die sich leider verstärkt habe. Der Inder meint: "In einem Jahr, in dem standrechtliche Exekutionen von bewaffneten Gruppen weltweit geächtet wurden wie nie zuvor, ist es entsetzlich, dass Regierungen selbst reflexhaft Zuflucht in mehr Hinrichtungen suchen, um Terrorismus und Verbrechen zu bekämpfen." ...

The Muslim World Expresses Solidarity in the Aftermath of the Paris ShootingMiddle East In Focus
Commenting in the immediate aftermath of the Paris shooting, some voices within the Arab American community were quick to express their condemnation of the ‘barbaric crime’, drawing a bright line between Islam and the extremist ideology of the attackers: “Regardless of the identity and motives of the perpetrators, this barbaric crime is despicable and we should condemn it collectively as a community. At The Arab American News, we feel painful sympathy for the victims, most of whom practiced our craft. If the attack was a response to publishing the offensive cartoons, as most media outlets are claiming, then it is a crime against all Muslims, especially in the West and the Prophet Mohamad himself, who preached tolerance and urged his followers to refrain from the revenge mentality. The attackers do not represent Islam....Human empathy transcends religions, cultures and ideology. Today, We Are All Charlie.”
Condemnation of the killings came also from the Arab League and Al-Azhar, a Sunni center of learning, which according to an AFP report published on the Egyptian daily Al Ahram “condemned [the] deadly attack Wednesday on a Paris satirical newspaper. ‘Arab League chief Nabil al-Arabi strongly condemns the terrorist attack on Charlie Hebdo newspaper in Paris"....Al-Azhar condemned the ‘criminal attack,’ saying that ‘Islam denounces any violence’, in remarks carried by Egypt's state news agency MENA. In a separate statement to AFP, Al-Azhar senior official Abbas Shoman said the institution ‘does not approve of using violence even if it was in response to an offence committed against sacred Muslim sentiments.’”
Maan News reports that speaking from the Palestinian Territories, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas “on Wednesday condemned a ‘terror attack’ on a Paris satirical magazine that left at least 12 dead. The president said in a telegram addressed to French President Francois Hollande that Palestine ‘strongly condemned and deplored the heinous crime that is in contradiction of religion and morality.’”
Beyond the feeling of grief for those who lost their lives in the attack, the overwhelming concern in the mind of many observers in the region has been the safety of the Muslim communities in France and elsewhere. Drawing parallels between 9/11 and the this week’s attack, Hurriyet Daily News’ Murat Yetkin argues that “the Jan. 7 attack was not only a heinous attack on the media, it was also an attack aimed at triggering culture and religion-based fault lines in French and European politics....Even before this attack, France has been in an Islamization/Islamophobia debate in relation to European immigration and security policies....The issue now tops Europe’s security concerns. The British government is already working on new regulations on immigration, also with security considerations. The question has also recently been dividing public opinion in Germany....It would not be wrong to describe the Paris Charlie Hebdo attack as the 9/11 of Europe.”
The Peninsula editorial echoes the condemnation issued by the aforementioned organizations, arguing that there is no place in Islam for terrorism: “Qatar has condemned the barbaric attack, as has several other Arab countries. Muslims and Arabs are venting their fury and expressing their condemnations on social media, and have expressed solidarity with the relatives of the victims and the French society…. What terrorists have done is attack Islam and Muslims, tarnish its teachings, and jeopardize the lives of millions of Muslims all over the world. In that sense, the ultimate victims of yesterday’s attack will be Muslims, especially those in Europe and the US....Condemnation of the attack by Arab and Muslim countries is not enough. Leaders must persuade religious scholars and ordinary clerics to speak loudly against terrorism and declare terrorists as apostates.”
The challenge now for the West and the Muslim communities living in them, writes the Daily Star (Lebanon) editorial staff, is to “Curb Paris fallout…. While practical steps are needed now, it is not as simple as preventing young men from returning from Syria, or from entering office blocks with machine guns. The reasons why people become extremists must be tackled. This attack was not just about Charlie Hebdo insulting Islam in the past. It was about feelings of disenfranchisement and oppression, not just in terms of Muslims in Europe but about Muslims across the world. But the extremist groups to which the attackers belong – or at least have been inspired by – are killing more Muslims themselves than anyone else.”
Some, like the Saudi Gazette editorial staff, have tried to put the attacks in a larger context and caution against the disenfranchisement of France’s Muslims: “Whatever the two attackers thought they were achieving by gunning down two policemen and ten journalists at the magazine Charlie Hebdo, their victims actually also include the five million Muslims who live in France, the largest such community in Europe....Many Muslims and indeed non-Muslims have been outraged at Charlie Hebdo’s anti-Islamic outpourings….Nevertheless, a far greater outrage in now being felt by French Muslims at Wednesday’s depraved attempt to exact revenge. It is right that moves are made to protect the French state from further outrages. But that protection has to include France’s Muslims. They cannot be singled out by Islamophobic bigots as being responsible for this terrible crime. Instead they should be seen as the other victims of this insane act.” ...

Wer "Friedensforschung" betreibt, will keinen Frieden, sondern sucht lediglich eine sinnfreie Beschäftigung. Die sowohl notwendige als auch hinreichende (d. h. äquivalente) Bedingung für den Weltfrieden ist gleichbedeutend mit der Lösung der sozialen Frage und längst erforscht und durchdacht:

"Anti-Muslim hate crimes have been on the rise in the United States since 9/11, but have been especially notable in the weeks since the Paris and San Bernardino attacks. In an address earlier this month, President Barack Obama warned against such violence and hate. "We cannot turn against one another by letting this fight be defined as a war between America and Islam" the president said. "That, too, is what groups like ISIL want." "

Die Waffe Mut
Von Dirk Kurbjuweit
SPIEGEL 53/2015
"Nach den Anschlägen von Paris begannen die Franzosen, Stellungen des IS in Syrien aus der Luft zu bombardieren. Dahinter steckt keine Strategie, es ist blinde Rache. Das bringt nichts. Die Deutschen schlossen sich den Franzosen bald an und schickten „Tornados“ für die Luftaufklärung und eine Fregatte. Das bringt auch nichts. Trotzdem ist es richtig, dass die Deutschen mitmachen. Das klingt paradox, hat aber ebenfalls mit der Abwägung von individueller und kollektiver Sicherheit zu tun."
"Leben ist mir heilig, aber das gilt auch für das Leben von Franzosen, Amerikanern oder Briten."
Schreibt Dirk Kurbjuweit.
Soll denn nur "westliches" Leben heilig sein?
Was ist mit zivilen Opfern von "Vergeltungsschlägen" in Syrien?
Soll so der Terror besiegt werden?
