À Strasbourg, hier, la police a tabassé deux manifestants déjà blessés et les street medics qui les soignaient. Le monde entier doit voir ce que la police française fait à son peuple.

Sur CNEWS Éric Zemmour n’a eu de cesse d’attiser la haine raciste contre la ville de Trappes et ses habitants. Voilà le résultat.

J'en ai marre des explications simplistes de pourquoi ça casse en manif. Depuis 13 ans, j'habite avec vue sur les cortèges, en plus d'en faire régulièrement, et je peux décrire exactement ce qu'il se passe à chaque fois. ⬇️

Whoever made this (up) wanted to implicate the Turks (red flag) and Hamas (it is signed by "Abu Mu'adh Aknaf", a probable reference to the Hamas-linked former Syrian rebel group Aknaf Bayt al-Maqdis)

ظهور نادر للرئيس نور الدين الأتاسي وهو يخطب في دمشق بعد حريق المسجد الأقصى في آب 1969 يظهر الرئيس السوري نور الدين الأتاسي في هذا المقطع وهو يتوجه إلى الجماهير بخطاب حماسي يعدهم فيه "بتحرير كل شبر من الأرض المحتلة الطاهرة"، ويعلن أن "هذه المسيرة ستتحول إلى مسيرة مسلحة، مسيرة للتحرير والعودة". كان الأتاسي يخطب في مسيرة خرجت في دمشق في شهر آب عام 1969 تنديداً بحرق المسجد الأقصى في القدس المحتلة، مردداً اللازمة التي عُرف بها وكان يفتتح بها كلامه: "يا جماهير شعبنا". يذكر أن الأتاسي كان رئيساً للدولة ورئيساً للوزراء وأميناً عاماً لحزب البعث العربي الاشتراكي. #تاريخ_سورية #نور_الدين_الأتاسي #المسجد_الأقصى

Fairly clear pattern here: most big names among signatories are either Salafis (haraki/activist type) or Ikhwan. Not many Sufi/traditionalists. – at Aix-en-Provence, France
Aron Lund@aronlundSep 6
Several dozen Syrian Islamic scholars and conservative figures, including a few ex-rebels and a parliamentarian (Kinan Nahhas, ex-Ahrar) urge the state to protect Syria’s Islamic identity, which, they imply, is threatened by an overly permissive attitude to secular public events.

Not because the latter are fonder of Asala Nasri, but maybe because they feel more vulnerable and/or don't want to jeopardise a relationship with the new regime, which has proven better than initially expected. – at Aix-en-Provence, France

Créé en 2014 à Istanbul et dissous en 2025, le Conseil islamique syrien était une tentative inédite d'institutionnaliser une autorité musulmane sunnite indépendante du pouvoir politique.

Formidable photo du reporter palestinien Jehad Alshrafi censurée au festival d'images du sport à Deauville. La montrer partout est un acte de resistance, contre la censure, contre la tentative d’effacer la realite du genocide de Gaza. Et pourquoi pas, un acte de resistance pour le sport et le Foot aussi! Le beau, le vrai, celui qui repose sur des valeurs fondamentales du Respect, de la Tolerance, de la Solidarite, de l’Engagement de soi.
