Le salafisme est souvent si régressif sur les libertés, qu’il pousse ses adversaires à répondre par moins de démocratie. On finit par dire : le peuple est trop religieux, donc il faut le surveiller ; les élections peuvent donner la victoire aux islamistes, donc il faut limiter les élections ; les masses sont manipulées, donc il faut qu’une élite décide à leur place.

Last Sunday, I saw a flurry of posts about how important fathers, especially the ‘intentional’ ones, have been in people’s lives.
