from the Armed Islamic Group with a paring knife?

免受伊斯蘭武裝組織傷害，
就憑一支水果刀嗎？

那是 1993 年 6 月某個星期二的早晨，

在阿爾及利亞的阿爾及爾郊區，

to an unrelenting pounding on the front door.

It was a season as described by a local paper

to the bullets of fundamentalist assassins.

死在基本教義派刺客的子彈下。

My father's university teaching of Darwin

from the head of the so-called
Islamic Salvation Front,

他來自所謂的伊斯蘭拯救陣線總部，

who denounced Dad as an advocate of biologism

譴責我父親是生物中心論的擁護者之後，

would neither identify himself nor go away.

他都不會表明身分，也不會離開。

So my father tried to get the police on the phone,

但也許警察被高漲的情勢嚇到，

of armed extremism that had already claimed

非常多阿爾及利亞警官的性命，

and took up a position inside the entryway.

When I look back now, I think
that that was the moment

現在回過頭看，我想就是那一刻

that set me on the path was to writing a book

書名是《你的伊斯蘭教令不適用於此：

Untold Stories from the Fight
Against Muslim Fundamentalism."

對抗伊斯蘭教基本教義派
不為人知的故事》。

to interview 300 people of Muslim heritage

to find out how they fought fundamentalism

我找出他們如何
和平對抗基本教義派，

and how they coped with the attendant risks.

以及他們如何設法解決
伴隨而來的風險。

那位未表明身分的訪客離開了，

but other families were so much less lucky,

and that was the thought
that motivated my research.

無論是哪種情況，
幾個月後都會有人回來，

上面寫著：「準備幫自己辦後事。」

which simply said, "Consider yourself dead."

隨後，阿爾及利亞的
基本教義派武裝團體

Subsequently, Algeria's
fundamentalist armed groups

would murder as many as 200,000 civilians

亡者包括你在這裡可以
看到的每一位女性。

最後，我的父親，
身為教授的阿爾及利亞農民之子，

and as terrible as all of these events became,

the international community largely ignored them.

Finally, my father, an Algerian
peasant's son turned professor,

was forced to stop teaching at the university

就像許多阿爾及利亞的知識分子一樣

was that like so many other Algerian intellectuals,

and he continued to publish pointed criticisms,

例如《國家報》1994 年 11 月的系列報導

題為＜基本教義派如何
無先例地製造出恐怖主義＞

and sometimes of the government they battled.

長久以來先民遵循的伊斯蘭真理。

the terrorists' radical break with the true Islam

These were words that could get you killed.

即使將近二十年後的今日仍是如此。

the popular struggle against Muslim fundamentalism

公然反抗那些激進分子，只是你沒聽過，

This remains true today, nearly 20 years later.

那些人需要我們的支持才能成功。

穆斯林普遍都會容忍恐怖行動。

有些右翼者這樣想是因為他們認為

伊斯蘭教文化與生俱來就很暴力，

defying those militants that you don't hear about,

and those people need our support to succeed.

that Muslims generally condone terrorism.

Some on the right think this because they view

事實上許多生來就是伊斯蘭教徒的人
