Blushi I face with: "Living in genocide"
Interview / Talk Abedin Rakipi, 26-year-old Cham from Berat living for years in Brussels, which has decided to challenge Ben Blushi and his novel " Living on the island, "is writing a novel in response
What is unexpected is happening: Ben Blushi novel," Living on the island ", is preparing a response head to head, but with a novel. I say "what was not expected, is going", because until the Blushi critics have not passed a dot to an article in the newspaper and now that echoes the novel's talked to have been extinguished with the comments "pro" and "against", comes news of a novel anti-Blush and a very significant title, with a curiosity of our anxiety nationwide: Living in genocide. " The author of the novel is just a 26-year-old originally from the Cham Filati, named Abedin Rakipi, a dynamic activist Cham issue, which as years of living in the heart of Europe, in Brussels, has become the "son stand mal "for that piece of bitten mynxyrshëm from the body of the nation. With an advanced intellectual training for age, holder of seven foreign languages, Abedin Rakipi originally studied in college Mehmet Akif Ersoy in Tirana, after having come from his town, Berat, and later studies has concluded in Brussels . There has been strongly engaged in socio-cultural environments, taking part for five consecutive years in the European Social Forum. This position has given the chance to meet personally with Prime Minister of Belgium, Guy Verhofstadt, and the head of diplomacy, Louis Michel, who currently is the Commissioner of the EU. He has submitted them Cham tragedy. In this regard, Abedin Rakipi organized a protest in The Hague already paid Cham issue is dealing with building a site on the Internet giant as it owns the language, then seven, dedicated to Cham, history, culture and the tragedy that experienced last century . In recent years, Abedin Rakipi is paid to historical research, being immersed in the archives of the prestigious European and Ottoman ones. And it is this research that have helped the book to be shed on the market soon, in response to novel Ben Blushi, "Living on the island." Precisely for this is expressed in the following interview 26-year-old challenger ...
You're writing a novel, which is considered anti-Blush and a very significant title: "Living in genocide." What is the symbolism in this case?
small
Since I was one of the soldiers of the Cham. Even though I was probably only five years old, deep love for those foci that my grandfather conveyed to my heart, I drive to the heart in me forever and always growing the idea, saying Abedin to do something to your soil to wash the blood and grandparents left to Amman, their graves still call us. If you do not do anything to Abedin and other Chams, who will do it?
And go out directly to your question. The symbolism of the novel that I write under the title "Living in genocide" and that is considered anti-Blush, is that Blushi in his novel treats Islam as a religion conqueror, who brought our people just bad and that our people have suffered greatly from this religion and fought desperately to save its national rights. He emphasizes the fact that many Albanians were killed for not changing their religion and that Islam was imposed by force by the Turkish invasion. My novel is considered anti-Blush, because it dealt with the suffering people of the Chams lived precisely because they were Muslims, starting from the year 1821 the Greek revolution, which first began ethnic cleansing against the Cham Muslims of the South, Arta and surrounding villages. Chams until recently been invited by the Greeks and their priests to change their religion, provided they can stay in genocide. Hundreds are evidence of the Chams in Albania to come show how priests went from village to village by inviting you to change their religion and then you can sit comfortably in the genocide.
So, given that many of the Chams suffered religious and ethnic violence exercised by the Greek Orthodox Church and the Greek state, I deign to this novel that the Albanian people that tell our history pages, which are filled antiturke hatred, little data book for the Chams annexation; there are only a few pages, so that the terrible genocide that occurred in the genocide barely show. So Blushi, who claims that the Albanian people suffered greatly from Islam and the Turks, must learn that we have suffered more from the Greco-Slavic.
As you conceived the idea of \u200b\u200ba novel, while against the idea opozicionet Blushi have so far been the only piece by "criticism"?
As you also indicate, against Blushi opozicionet ideas so far have only been critical of journalistic and this has led to his novel have a popularity and a lot of great publicity. But I think after a few months or years of criticism forgotten, or rather disappear, while the novel remains as artistic work even after my death of Blushi, to think it needed a more efficient way to show our people that there is " Volt face "of the novel Blushi and that truth has many faces, always depends on the perspective and ideas that it advocates. The idea to respond with a novel, it was immediate to me, because not understand how any Muslim intellectuals have not really reached a reaction that would baraspeshonte historical and emotional burden that Blushi novel, so I told myself: Abedin, you have to do and I started writing the novel.
How you came across the novel "Living on the island?
For Blushi novel I heard for the first time in the virtual forum internetik "Chameria" with over 650 members. In this forum, which I have created and govern themselves, discuss and Cham Cham issue. He has become a nest, or a hotbed for Chams around the world. Our priority is informing the Albanian population and world opinion about the Cham issue. On this forum was posted some criticism about Blushi thing that sparked my curiosity pushed me to blija and read novel.
once begun to read, had a dose of prejudice from the start (given the author's name), or you had the start of a reader who did not know what would happen after the paper sheet?
much appreciated novel because Blushi is really a writer with a very impressive artistic potential and tried not to have any bias when I started reading the novel and page after page of phrases underline where he had historical inaccuracies, which had deformation of historical events and religious events where there was open hatred against Islam, and also where the phrase was an open invitation to abandon their Islamic religion . However, what worried me were insults that makes Blushi Islam, because it is not the first, but the fact that he tries to justify this insult platform fabricated historical facts, which are very far from the truth. Specifically
where Blushi gabon?
Blushi gabon in many countries. Can no errors in any novel or book to another profile, given the human papërsosmëria. There are unintentional mistakes in this sense. But it is simply wrong when Blushi issues terrible insult against Islam and Muslims when it equates to animals. It also goes against humanity, because no human being of any religion or ethnicity if it can not be equated with animals ever, even in a novel.
Then, he errs, because it brings historical facts untrue.
But for me the error can not be forgiven is that he tries Blushi to support the story that provides the novel and as a reality show that truly lived by the Albanian people in a given moment, by basing it on lies, illusions and building virtual realities.
But Blushi itself and its defenders say the novel as such is within the imagination and thus may not be judged as if it was the work of authentic historical. A fair enough and it is this kind of an alibi?
Blushi
's alibi and his defenders, that the novel can not be judged as genuine historical work, because it is within the imagination, believe it may be a good excuse to justify the inexcusable historical errors, which I believe is aware Blushi. When a writer begins a genuine act so colossal, so touches a delicate period of our people and a topic so complex, such as taking Islam out of the Albanians, should do everything that his historical sources to be so perfect correct and then give novel ideological color he wants. But when the author does not give denjon sources affecting historical truth "red apple" of Albanian, which is religion, identity and its history, it shows a failure by an amateur writer who claims to be serious and genuine. Or, or, what is closer to logic, the author himself did not want to give the true historical facts, because maybe they might conflict with the ideological color he wanted to give the novel. So either these historical facts simply did not exist, or if there have been anti-"Living on the island." This can not be forgiven a writer who claims has written "The Da Vinci Code" Albanian.
Blushi been tried for his novel as a somewhat spoiling religious harmony. Did you take into account the vital norm of our society, or just to break the other's nose?
Blushi novel really has been spoiling the harmonive religions in Albania, because in a very delicate moment he is attached to the invitation by Kadare, and a certain group of people, Muslim Albanians to abandon their religion. So he put in the context of denigrating the great platform Islam is becoming in Albania, not to leave the Muslim part of other solution, but the abandonment of Islam and return to the so-called religion of the ancients. I personally do not dignify such a thing in my novel, I only know that the Albanian population has a really different, which is hidden from him by Blushi and his defenders and then choose the opinion itself between these two truths , evidencialisht inviting him to verify the historical sources of these two works and what they represent in terms ideological. I will try to save the maximum line of fragile religious harmony in Albania, trying not to hurt anyone.
And finally, when your novel come out?
my novel coming out in December this year if everything goes well.
