Video: Samuel P. Huntington – Davos 2004

Jeg fandt to videoer med Samuel P. Huntington, som jeg ikke har fået set før nu:

Davos Annual Meeting 2004 – When Cultures Conflict

25.01.2004 -  In a globalized world, cultural heterogeneity can often spark conflicts.

1. Is there a set of values around which the world’s cultures converge?
2. If not, what kind of mechanisms must be put in place to facilitate global understanding?
3. What role do notions of “tolerance” and “respect” play in that regard?

• Samuel P. Huntington, Chairman, Harvard Academy for International and Area Studies, USA
• Hans Küng, President, Global Ethic Foundation, Germany
• Ghassan Salamé, Professor of International Relations, Institut d’Etudes Politiques de Paris, France
• Chaired by Lord Carey of Clifton, Former Archbishop of Canterbury, United Kingdom; Member of the Foundation Board of the World Economic Forum

Blandt spørgerne i den næste video ser man bla. imamen, Feisal Abdul Rauf:

Video: To sjældene foredrag af Salman Rushdie

Det første foredrag er fra 11. oktober 2006. Det er ingen ringere end Ibn Warraq, der introducerer Rushdie:

An evening with Salman Rushdie

Novelist and critic Salman Rushdie talked about the reasons Westerners and secular liberals have, in many instances, failed to respond effectively to the threat to human rights posed by radical Islam. He also discussed the roots of artistic inspiration and the responsibility of a writer who stands at the crossroads of what has been described as a “clash of civilizations.” His most recent novel, Shalimar the Clown, delves into the roots of terrorism as it plays out in the life of a Hindu wife and a Muslim husband living at just such a crossroads. Mr. Rushdie called for a reform movement inside Islam. He received death threats from the Iranian government after the 1988 publication of his fourth novel, The Satanic Verses, and argued that it is an individual’s right to question a group’s core beliefs. He criticized the new culture in both Europe and America that denounces the use of terms such as Islamic terrorism and Islamic fascism. After his presentation the author responded to audience members’ questions.

“An Evening with Salman Rushdie: Secular Values, Human Rights and Islamism” was the first lecture in the annual “Voices of Reason” series presented by the Center for Inquiry New York City and co-sponsored by the New York Society for Ethical Culture.

Man skal ind til C-Span for at se video – startes HER - varighed 1 time og 24 minutter.

Det andet foredrag er fra 24. marts 1992 og genopfrisker historien om De Sataniske Vers og de hændelser, Salman Rushdie har været igennem. Introduktion ved Mike Wallace, som på det tidspunkt var CBS Correspondent. Der er spørgsmål fra salen efter foredraget.

Free expression and global media

Mr. Rushdie spoke about free expression and freedom of the press. He discussed the problems he has encountered as a result of publishing his book, The Satanic Verses and announced that it will be printed in paperback form. He ended by fielding questions from the audience. Mr. Rushdie has made only one other public appearance in the United States since going into hiding in February of 1992. Mr. Rushdie went into hiding when the late Ayatollah Khomeini of Iran condemned him to death for writing the book, The Satanic Verses.

Man skal ind til C-Span for at se foredraget – videoen startes HER. Udsendelsen varer 1 time og 20 minutter. Der er spørgsmål og svar i andel del af programmet. De sidste 10 minutter af videoen er åbenbart kommet med ved en fejl, for det er en stump af en helt anden udsendelse.

Opdatering 25. September 2010 – link ændret, fordi C-Span har fået ny hjemmeside.

Video: Ayaan Hirsi Alis ret til et liv i sikkerhed

I denne totalt absurde diskussion spørger France24 i ramme alvor, om man kan tilkomme beskyttelse, når man har kaldt “profeten” tyran og pervers. Blandt andre medvirker Irshad Manji og Robert Spencer, som begge svarer fornuftigt.

På muslimsk side finder man endvidere Amel Boubekeur og Abed Ayoub.

Ordstyreren og studieværten, som har det absurde udgangspunkt, at skatteydere ikke skal betale for beskyttelse af mennesker som Ayaan Hirsi Ali, hedder Andrea Sanke.

Should European governments be obligated to protect Islam’s critics from the never-ending threats of violence and death?

Udsendelsen er fra 22. februar 2008. Samlet varighed ca. 35 minutter.

Opdateret 3. september 2010 – videolink repareret.
