Luc Besson, French director and producer. Letter to my Muslim brothers! My Brother, My brother, if you knew how much Im suffering for you today, you and your beautiful religion defiled, humiliated, pointed at. Forgotten your strength, your energy, your humor, your heart, your fraternity. It is unfair and we will all remedy this injustice. We are millions to love you and we will all help you. Lets start from the beginning. What is the society that is offered to you? Based on money, profit, segregation, racism. In some suburbs, the unemployment of young people under 25 reaches 50%. Youre segregated for your color or your name. Youre checked by police ten times a day, youre sectionned into apartment blocks and nobody represents you. Who can live and thrive in such conditions? Attach a child or an animal, without food and affection for months, he will eventually kill anyone. Profit is put before all else. We cut and sell the wood of the apple tree and then we are surprised not to have fruits. The real problem is there, and it is up to us to solve it. I appeal to the powerful, the big bosses, all leaders. Help this youth, humiliated, atrophied, who is just waiting to be part of the society. The economy is at the service of man and not the reverse. Doing good is the greatest profit. Dear powerful, have you got children? Do you love them? What do want them to leave? Money? Why not a more just world? This is what would make your children most proud of you. We can not build happiness on the misfortune of others. This is not Christian, Jew or Muslim. Its just selfish, and it leads to our society and our planet straight into the wall. Thats the work we have to do today to honor our deaths. And you, my brother, you have also a job. How to change the society that is offered to you? Working, studying, taking a pencil rather than a Kalashnikov. The democracy has it well it offers you the noble tools to defend yourself. Be in charge of your destiny, take the power. It costs 250 euros to buy you a Kalashnikov, but its only 3 euros to buy you a pen, and your response may have a thousand times more impact. Take the power and play with the rules. Take power democratically, help all your brothers Terrorism will never win. History is there to prove it. And the beautiful image of the martyr works in both ways. Today, there are thousands of Cabu and thousands of Wolinski who was just born. Take the power and not let anyone take the power over you. Know that these two bloody brothers today are not yours, and we all know it. They were at most only two weak-minded, socially abandoned and abused by a preacher who sold them to the eternity... The radical preachers who are doing their business and play your misfortune have no good intention. They use your religion for their own advantage. Its their business, their small business. Tomorrow, my brother, we will be stronger, more connected, there will be more solidarity. I promise. But today, my brother, I cry with you. Luc Besson
