1
00:00:55,282 --> 00:00:55,532
today's problem on the global scale

2
00:00:55,532 --> 99:59:59,999
is the coexistence of our occidental renunciation of religion and the societies which have yet to recognize such renunciation

3
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
islam posits as a particular problem because they're our neighbors

4
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
they possess a particular familiarity on our culture

5
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
all the while holding a trauma against the occidental presence

6
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
which poses as a menace against their collective identity

7
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
which led to the resurgence of fundamentalism we see today

8
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
there is approximitely one billion person who abandoned religion

9
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
whilst there is another seven billion person whom, in some sort, are coerced to live with our abandonment of religion

10
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
by the means of cultural products which it has led to

11
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
science, techniques, economic reasoning

12
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
while living in an essencially different culture

13
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
we, to a great extent, can't understand their societies

14
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
those which we named "third world"

15
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and refer to it today as the "south"

16
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
without understanding the phenomenon of hierarchy

17
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
yes! they are hierarchal socities

18
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
just as how our aristocratic societies

19
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
were during the 17th and 18th century

20
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
wherein the patronage system between superior and his subordinates who depend on him

21
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
is still omnipresent

22
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
westerns have a hard time understanding it

23
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
despite its necessity

24
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
we also have to understand the rest of the world

25
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
based on the history from which we departed

26
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and it's no easy task

27
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
because it leads to a future rife with conflicts

28
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
are these societies that still haven't detached from religion

29
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
undergoing an anthropological dynamic which will lead them to leave religion

30
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
like us or are they going to remain stagnant

31
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
i believe that it is has in fact embarked on such transition

32
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
amid very conflicitve conditions

33
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
because such change arrived from the west

34
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
this took us... some centuries

35
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and a history of conflicts

36
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
but we did it internally

37
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
relying on our own means

38
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
whereas they've received the product of our own abandonment of religion

39
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
from the outside

40
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and they're obliged to adopt it

41
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
some people could tell us:" you are who you are, and we are who we are"

42
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
we're not interested in the manner of your thinking and how you manage

43
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
figure it out on your own

44
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
no! occidental modernity is a proposition that can't be refused

45
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
rather, such change is imposed externally

46
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
leading to a collision with their profoundly inherent cultural and civilizational identitites
