1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,250
today's problem on the global scale

2
00:00:04,106 --> 00:00:08,556
is the coexistence of our occidental renunciation of religion

3
00:00:09,412 --> 00:00:12,672
and the societies which have yet to recognize such renunciation

4
00:00:12,672 --> 00:00:16,672
islam posits as a particular problem because they're our neighbors

5
00:00:16,746 --> 00:00:21,880
they possess a particular familiarity on our culture

6
00:00:22,639 --> 00:00:28,669
all the while holding a trauma against the occidental presence

7
00:00:29,129 --> 00:00:33,129
which poses as a menace against their collective identity

8
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
which led to the resurgence of fundamentalism we see today

9
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
there is approximitely one billion person who abandoned religion

10
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

11
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
by the means of cultural products which it has led to

12
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
science, techniques, economic reasoning

13
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
while living in an essencially different culture

14
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
we, to a great extent, can't understand their societies

15
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
those which we named "third world"

16
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and refer to it today as the "south"

17
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
without understanding the phenomenon of hierarchy

18
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
yes! they are hierarchal socities

19
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
just as how our aristocratic societies

20
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
were during the 17th and 18th century

21
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
wherein the patronage system between superior and his subordinates who depend on him

22
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
is still omnipresent

23
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
westerns have a hard time understanding it

24
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
despite its necessity

25
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
we also have to understand the rest of the world

26
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
based on the history from which we departed

27
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and it's no easy task

28
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
because it leads to a future rife with conflicts

29
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
are these societies that still haven't detached from religion

30
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
undergoing an anthropological dynamic which will lead them to leave religion

31
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
like us or are they going to remain stagnant

32
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
i believe that it is has in fact embarked on such transition

33
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
amid very conflicitve conditions

34
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
because such change arrived from the west

35
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
this took us... some centuries

36
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and a history of conflicts

37
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
but we did it internally

38
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
relying on our own means

39
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
whereas they've received the product of our own abandonment of religion

40
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
from the outside

41
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and they're obliged to adopt it

42
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
some people could tell us:" you are who you are, and we are who we are"

43
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
we're not interested in the manner of your thinking and how you manage

44
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
figure it out on your own

45
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
no! occidental modernity is a proposition that can't be refused

46
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
rather, such change is imposed externally

47
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
leading to a collision with their profoundly inherent cultural and civilizational identitites

48
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
in other words, it suggests another process of leaving religion

49
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
a very difficult one

50
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
more difficult than the one we underwent

51
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
some societies appear to have prevailed in doing so

52
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
until this very moment

53
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
take for example : japan

54
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
an extraordinary case

55
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
an ultra-modern society

56
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
economically and scientifically

57
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
at the same time, extremely traditional

58
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
where apparently, buddhist and shinto religiosity will remain alive

59
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
so there has been a japanese miracle where it hasn't taken a dramatic turn

60
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
unlike for many socities, particularly muslim ones, the process proves to be very dramatic
