Houria Bouteldja: 我认为在法国的政治环境中,解殖民行动主义面临着独特的挑战。自从2004年我开始参与政治行动以来,我亲眼目睹了法国社会对伊斯兰恐惧症的日益增长,以及针对穆斯林妇女的歧视性法律的出台。我深切感受到,法国的种族主义不仅仅是个人偏见,而是一种深植于国家结构的系统性问题。这种结构性种族主义使得伊斯兰恐惧症得以以一种“体面”的方式存在,即表面上反对宗教而非种族,从而掩盖其歧视本质。我坚持认为,这种“体面”的种族主义主要存在于左派之中,他们需要发明新的方式来掩盖其种族主义行为。我致力于揭露这种伪善,并推动对种族问题的更深刻理解。此外,我认为法国的殖民历史和当下的新殖民主义行径,如在法国与前殖民地国家的关系中,仍然深刻影响着当下的种族关系和社会结构。我坚信,只有通过对权力关系的根本性转变,才能真正消除种族主义和伊斯兰恐惧症的影响,实现社会的公正与平等。因此,我呼吁穆斯林和非白人群体团结起来,与进步左派力量合作,共同构建一个解殖民的多数派,以对抗压迫,争取自身权益。
