Open letter from French director Luc Besson to the Muslim brothers!

Luc Besson, who directed "The Killer Is Not Too Cold" and "Superbody", is not only a master director, but also a citizen actively engaged in public affairs. He released a touching open letter to the media after the Charlie Hebdo terrorist attack.

The following is the original:

My brother,

my brother, do you know how sad I am today? For you and your religious beliefs that have been tarnished, insulted and accused. People forget your strength, your humor, your enthusiasm and your love. This is unfair, let us work together to make up for this injustice. Millions of us love you and we want to help you. Let's start from scratch and take a look at what the society you live in is like.

This is a society built on money, interests, segregation and racial discrimination. In some suburbs, the unemployment rate among people under the age of 25 reaches 50%. People stay away from you simply because of the color of your skin and your name. The police check your ID 10 times a day, and the building's door bars isolate you, and no one wants to speak up for you. Who would want to live in such a society? Lock up a child or an animal without food or care for months, and it will become violent.

We value interests above anything else. We cut down the apple tree and sold the wood, and then we wondered why there was no fruit. That's where the problem lies. It depends on how we solve the problem.

I appeal to the strong, big bosses and all leaders in this society. Help these insulted young people who just want to integrate into society, but you don't give them a chance. The economy is about benefiting people, not the other way around. Doing good is the greatest benefit. Dear strong, you also have children, right? You love children, too? What do you want to leave for them? Money? Why not leave them a fair world? This will make your children proud of you.

We cannot base our happiness on the misfortune of others. This is neither in accordance with Christianity, nor Judaism, nor the teachings of Muslims. This is just selfishness, and this selfishness has plunged our society and the planet into the abyss. This is what we have to face.

My brother, you have a lot of things to do, too. How to change this society is also your responsibility. You have to work, you have to study, and you have to use a pen instead of an AK47. The advantage of a democratic society is that it provides you with the tools to protect yourself. Seize your own destiny and seize power.

It costs 250 euros to buy a gun, but it costs only 3 euros to buy a pen, and the influence of a pen is 1000 times greater than that of a gun.

Seize power and use rules to play. Grasp power in a democratic way and help all brothers. Terrorism will never win. History has confirmed it countless times. Who are the "martyrs"? Today, 1000 Cabu and a thousand Wolinskis stood up. Hold on to power and don't let others take away your power. You know that the two brothers with blood on their hands are not your brothers, we all know this.

Those were just two people with fragile minds who were abandoned by society and brainwashed by preachers, and betrayed by preachers. Extremist moralists make it a business and play with your misfortunes. They have no good intentions. They use your religious beliefs to benefit them. This is their little business. Tomorrow, my brother, I swear to you that we will be stronger and more united.

But today, my brother, let us cry together.

Luc. Besson
