Oskar Schindler He Was Not but Young Malian and Muslim Worker, Lassana Bathily, Saved 15 Jews From Certain Death

Un nouveau 'Juste Parmi les Nations' or a new 'Righteous Among the Nations, the Righteous Gentile'?

Il n'est pas Oskar Schindler. Il est simplement un jeune Malien et Musulman pratiquant sa foie. Mais il sauvait ses clients Jwifs a Hyper Cacher. For his heroic, humanitarian act, his compassion, he has become famous all over the world. At his own risk, he saved his customers, 7 to 15 of them, including a baby.

Lassana Bathily's story is in this eBook, written with the assistance of Danielo Laferriere.

Book Review:

I am only Lassana Bathily! A simple Hyper Cacher Supermarket worker who happened to help and save others! Yes, a Muslim can engage in acts of kindness, compassion, and humanitarian acts. Jews, Muslims, Christians, Catholics or whatever else, we are on the same boat. We have to work together to face the crisis of our time. In this eBook, I want to thank everybody –from my colleagues who had opened their arms to welcome me, the people of France, both the Jewish and Muslim communities, all the people of faith, my parents in Mali, my religious teachers and school instructors to my supporters on Facebook, Twitter, and the rest of the world- for all their kind messages for what is now known as my 'heroic act of kindness and compassion.'

I did not know anything else to do other than to give SHELTER in this cold storage or freezer to scared customers running down to the basement where I was working. After hearing the booming noise above and seeing the clients running down, I knew something bad was going to happen. I had to offer SHELTER at my own risk. The content of this eBook tells you a little bit about myself, my humble origins, and my philosophy on mutual aid and love on this earth. Disons ‘non’ ȧ l’antisémitisme, ȧ la terreur causée par les extremistes et les terroristes. Rien ne justifie les attaques ȧ caractère racial ou ethnique. Après tout, on est tous dans la même situation. Il nous faut utiliser l’aide mutuelle pour faire face ȧ notre crise actuelle.

Speaking French is Always Cool

When was it seen as a bad thing to speak another foreign language? When was speaking French seen as non cool? Any ad that is promoting the dumbing down of America is not cool.

In an attack ad released by the New Gingrich's campaign, millionaire businessman and former Chief Executive of the 2002 Winter Games in Salt Lake City and presidential hopeful Mitt Romney is criticized by fellow Republican Newt Gingrich for being able to read and speak French fluently.



The backers of these ad attacks seem to have forgotten that Newt Gingrich has a doctorate in European History. Back in 1971, he submitted a dissertation, Belgian Education Policy in the Congo 1945-1960. The dissertation had a lot of French sources in its bibliography. How can those who prepared the ad miss such an important fact? Even Newt must have known some French to be able to conduct all his research for his dissertation. Otherwise, how else would he have made reference to all these French sources?

Speaking another language should be applauded by whoever has the means and intelligence to acquire it. Mitt Romney learned French when he was a Mormon missionary in Paris and Bordeaux in the 1960s. In business and in culture, the language has served Mitt Romney well. Releasing such a video attack ad will not encourage American students to learn a foreign language.

The ad attackers are linking Sen. John Kerry who speaks French fluently and lost to George Bush to Mitt Romney's French Connection. The message they are conveying is that French-speaking Romney will lose to President Obama just like Kerry lost to George Bush.

Let's not mingle politics with culture and intelligence. There is no reason to criticize somebody for knowing French. The attack ad may not sit well with the reality of the country. Most Americans like French. They would like to learn and speak French. French may be one of the languages that most of them would like to learn if they could.

Do not pay attention to the attack ad video that comes to discourage you and keep you away from meeting your linguistic goals. Speaking French is cool. Students should learn the language.
