Enough with the one dimensional post-colonial discourse!

Today I was in rage... I listened to a discourse that I truly despise... and I had to remain silent because if I were to speak I could have insulted this guy publicly... This was within the framework of a series of talks at Upenn Museum about the Prophet's caricatures...

It was that kind of the one dimensional speechs about "The western neo-colonial discourse"... and under the pretext of criticiazing "the westerm media" for not putting things in context here is this guy who lashed out into false generalizations.... The ONLY problem, for him, was "THE WESTERN NEOCOLONIAL DISCOURSE"....
How can someone talk about "context" by neglecting the very Islamic context: a context of the absence of the freedom of speech where no one knows what is really the issue independently from the religious pulpets... in which various Arabic newspapers (including yesterday the Saudian daily al-Shams) were censored and closed for just trying to show the cartoons so that everyone knows "how bad they are"... the very context of these protests that erupted only after the decision of some Muslim officials in an Islamic congress some weeks ago in which a minister of from a "rich" arab country asked for "an official apology from the Danish government" that is asking the Danish government to apologize for something it did not do... a context where the one dimensional post-colonial speech that blames "the west" of everything bad happening in the Islamic world is being revived by the very Muslim "secular" or not dictatorships to block the new trends of democratization as a "western intrusion"... I could "represent the Islamic prospect" but not only because I am muslim... I could because unlike some people (and also like some others) I am able to see the WHOLE CONTEXT... I would not be able to carry a speech that blindly counters the noe-colonial discourse (which really exists and I already wrote about its medieval roots but it can not certainly be characterized in such generic terms as "THE WESTERN DISCOURSE") by a stigmatized and one dimensional post-colonial discourse that constatntly blames "The West" for everything that happens... not by repeating what Franz Fanon says like a hermit...

Sadly people like Edward Said and Tariq Ali are becoming an obstacle towards a self critic of the post-colonial discourse... their original views are making some people overconfident about blaming the west for everything... buisness as usual....
