«La décision prise par le juge, nous amène à en prendre d'autres nous-mêmes. Nous sommes totalement déterminés à utiliser tous les moyens de droit . S'il devait apparaître, une fois tous ces moyens épuisés, je pense en particulier à la jurisprudence du Conseil d'Etat, qu'il n'était pas possible pour nous de faire exécuter des décisions de cette nature[ndlr : l'expulsion des imams intégristes], alors à ce moment-là, nous en tirerions toutes les conséquences…. À partir du moment où il apparaît que la loi n'est pas assez efficace aujourd'hui, on changera la loi.»

«LONDON: A new exhibition by the painter Wijdan - the artist's name of H.R.H. Princess Wijdan Ali of Jordan - a member of the Jordanian Royal family and a first cousin to the late King Hussein, in collaboration with the Lebanese poet Charbel Dagher, has been drawing plenty of praise from spectators at London's October Gallery. Entitled Calligraffiti, the exhibition sees Wijdan illustrating the poems of Dagher through calligraphy, resulting in a visually resplendent series of works that skillfully weave together the worlds of poetry and calligraphy, and in so doing create a new form of artistic expression.

Calligraphy has long been synonymous with Islamic art, dating back to the 7th and 8th centuries. While the Koran does not expressly forbid representational art, Islamic art has generally avoided the intense figurative tradition of European painting and sculpture with its many representations of the body of Christ, turning instead to the text of the Koran as its primary source of inspiration.

Consequently, Islamic art has focused more heavily on abstract and elaborate decorative systems.

In Calligraffiti we witness how these calligraphic traditions can be inverted and transformed to create an art form at once sensual, modern and classical.»
