Rachid Mimouni

Rachid Mimouni (Kabyle: Racid Mimuni, Arabic: رشيد ميموني; 20 November 1945 – 12 February 1995) was an Algerian writer, teacher, and human rights activist. Mimouni wrote novels describing Algerian society in a realist style. He was threatened by Islamic militants for his stance against a movement which he described as being based on archaic ideas, irrelevant in the present time. Quotes I think that Islam has never authorized violence. If our Prophet were alive, he would be the first to denounce those who use it to obtain power. An attempt to understand rather than material aid. What can democracy mean in a country like Ethiopia, where dozens die of starvation every day? I believe in "freedom, justice and love" for all.
