World Village festival kicks off – without Charlie Hebdo tribute

One of Finland’s largest festivals, Helsinki’s World Village, is a celebration of multicultural tolerance and respect. The free annual two-day event, known as Maailma kylässä in Finnish, has attracted more than 80,000 visitors in recent years.

This year’s festival, which opens at 11 am Saturday in Railway Square and Kaisaniemi Park, features hundreds of music and dance performances, discussions and workshops. Musically the focus is on Africa and the Middle East this time, with headliners such as Nigerian veteran Orlando Julius with UK jazz collective The Heliocentrics, Sierra Leone’s Refugee All-Stars, Lebanese indie rock band Mashrou’ Leila and Finnish-Beninese band the Helsinki-Cotonou Ensemble.

Some 300 NGOs, most involved in international development, are taking part. The chief organiser is Kepa, the umbrella organisation for Finnish civil society organisations involved in development cooperation and global affairs. Main partners include the Finnish Foreign Ministry, the EU and the Red Cross.

No alternative found for “Charlie” exhibit

The festival will not however include a planned Freedom of Speech Village, which organisers cancelled due to security concerns. The stand was to have included an “I am Charlie” exhibition inspired by the terrorist-hit French satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo. The planned show would have included drawings of the Prophet Muhammad similar to those which have triggered violent attacks in Paris, Copenhagen and elsewhere.

Kepa programme director Outi Hannula told Yle the installation was cancelled due to security concerns, based partly on a serious warning from the Finnish Security Intelligence Service (Supo).

The Freedom of Speech Village was to have been located in a huge tent at the centre of the festival grounds, along with booths set up by dozens of organisations. Hannula says the main problem was the impossibility of restricting access to the tent or the sprawling festival area.

Hannula says that organisers tried to find a location for the installation on or near the festival grounds that could be securely guarded, but that no such solution could be found.

“We also offered the alternative that the exhibition could be set up without the Muhammad images, but the organisers did not want to do this,” says Hannula.

The installation had been planned by The Association for Cultural, Scientific and Advocacy Magazines, Kultti, along with the Finnish PEN organisation, Electronic Frontier Finland, and Reporters without borders. They argued that staging only part of the exhibition would have been a form of censorship and undermined the whole point of the show.

Earlier this spring, an “I am Charlie” exhibition was forced to move from several locations in Helsinki because of perceived security threats.

It’s pretty lame stuff but clearly enough to offend the sensibilities of the easily offended.

There’s No Common Cultural Legacy For The Alt-Right

Still, is there something to it? Is there a common heritage that will cover El Greco and Hume and Dostoyevsky? Is there one that can include the Jacobites and the Jacobins? There is, but it is not racial, and white supremacists reject it because it rejects them. The unifying heritage of Europe is religious and philosophical. It is Jerusalem and Athens, in one famous formulation. Christian religion and Greek philosophy, filtered through Roman law and culture, are the foundation of European culture. The tensions, agreements, developments and settlements between these have shaped the Western world, and these roots of Western civilization are not congenial to white supremacy.

Christianity is universal in its message and Jewish in its origins. For centuries after its founding, Christianity’s center was the Mediterranean world, including Asia Minor and North Africa. Christianity has never been defined by race, and locally-grown racist heresies are only sustainable among those ignorant of Christianity’s teachings, origins and history.

Greek philosophy is likewise ill-suited to serve as a basis for white identity. It is either too universal (addressing the human condition in general) or too local—none of us live as citizens of an ancient Greek polis. Later philosophical developments in Europe, such as the philosophies of the Enlightenment, likewise tend to be too universal for white supremacists seeking a tribal identity. As for the scientific revolution that developed within Western culture (albeit with much borrowed from outside Europe), math doesn’t care what color someone is.

"More here"

War is being waged against Western culture from within which is in essence a war against Christianity and its moral origins in the Hebrew Bible. By attacking these Biblical foundations in the name of reason and human rights, the culture warriors of secularism are sawing off the branch on which they sit. The only way to defend Western civilisation is to reaffirm and restore its Biblical foundations. My argument is a development of ideas I first explored in my 2012 book The World Turned Upside Down: The Global Battle over God, Truth and Power.

We are living in an era which extols reason, science and human rights. These are said to be essential for progress, a civilised society and the betterment of humanity. Religion is said to be their antithesis, the source instead of superstitious mumbo-jumbo, oppression and backward-thinking.

Some of this hostility is being driven by the perceived threat from Islamic terrorism and the Islamisation of Western culture. However, this animus against religion has far deeper roots and can be traced back to what is considered the birthplace of Western reason, the 18th-century Enlightenment.

Actually, it goes back specifically to the French Enlightenment. In England and Scotland, the Enlightenment developed reason and political liberty within the framework of Biblical belief. In France, by contrast, anti-clericalism morphed into fundamental hostility to Christianity and to religion itself.

“Ecrasez l’infame,” said Voltaire (crush infamy) — the infamy to which he referred being not just the Church but Christianity, which he wanted to replace with the religion of reason, virtue and liberty, “drawn from the bosom of nature”.

Perfecting society

But this Enlightenment did not remove religion so much as pervert it. It took millenarian fantasies, the idea that the perfection of the world was at hand, and it secularised them. Instead of God producing heaven on earth, it would be mankind which would bring that about. Reason would create the perfect society and “progress” was the process by which utopia would be attained.
