Freedom drowns in a glass of water

by admin

Tuesday April 13 was the start of Ramadan, which ends on May 12. On this occasion, Muslims observe a very strict fast – neither food nor drink – from sunrise to sunset. Around 3pm, the Evian brand on Twitter posted a seemingly banal message: “Retweet if you’ve already had a liter of Evian today“. The ad sparked a real hate campaign for the Danone subsidiary. Evian is accused of racism. Thus, the brand has decided to apologize publicly.

The philosopher Raphaël Enthoven asked Evian to make mea culpa for similar advertisements on Yom Kippur, when Jews fast. In fact, all that remains is to laugh at it. But at this rate, France really risks drowning in a glass of water. Pork out of all school canteens. Get rid of the risqué images from the street advertisements. Take the miniskirts off the buses. Away with professors who are too intellectually free from schools. And those dirty cartoons burned at the stake. Indeed it is happening. Pork has disappeared from school canteens in Lyon, Borat’s nude has been removed from advertisements on buses passing through the suburbs, some drivers have brought down women dressed too scantily, many professors who had criticized Islam have been transferred to other institutions after receiving threats and a professor was beheaded for a cartoon. That’s how Islam is, if you give it a finger it takes the whole arm. And then you can not help but apologize over and over, over everything, even for a glass of water.
