Have you ever asked yourself: when they promise “security,” why does our regions keep filling with weapons? 🌏 Militarization is not peace.

Across Asia and the Pacific, competing empires expand military bases, alliances, weapons, and war games—while ordinary people bear the cost.

✊ Peace is justice. To reclaim peace is to reject militarization and refuse to become anyone’s battlefield.
Shalom is more than the absence of war; it is justice, right relationships, and life in fullness for all. 🕊️

Have you ever asked yourself: Is your image of the Arab world shaped by stereotypes and prejudice? 👀

✊ Today, we highlight Edward Said, a Christian Palestinian academic and one of the founders of postcolonial studies. One of his best-known books is Orientalism, in which he critiques the West’s cultural representations of the Orient and the ways they have shaped perceptions of the region.

هل سبق أن سألت نفسك: هل تتشكّل صورتك عن العالم العربي من خلال الصور النمطية والأحكام المسبقة؟👀

✊ نسلّط الضوء اليوم على إدوارد‎ سعيد، المفكر الفلسطيني المسيحي وأحد مؤسسي دراسات ما بعد الاستعمار. ومن أشهر مؤلفاته كتاب **الاستشراق**، الذي ينتقد فيه التمثيلات الثقافية الغربية للشرق، وكيف أسهمت في تشكيل التصورات السائدة عن المنطقة.

🛑 When they call it "development," who defines it, whose lands are at risk, and who pays the price? 🌏

Today, we travel to Asia Pacific to continue asking ourselves: why?

Who decides what "development" means? Whose voices are heard? Whose lands are sacrificed? 🤔

Is development really a neutral concept?

Too often, "development" has been used to justify land grabbing, extractivism, displacement, and environmental destruction in the name of progress.

✊ Reclaiming land means reclaiming life, memory, sovereignty, and the right of communities to determine their own future.

As people of faith, we believe the earth is God's, and every community that tends it bears God's image. Peace is not clearing forests in the name of development.

🛑

When does faith become a tool of domination? 🌍

Historically, religion has also been used as part of the colonizer’s narrative to justify conquest, land annexation, displacement, and violence.

Through these two examples, we see how colonial violence becomes even more dangerous when it speaks the language of God.

✊ Let us reclaim liberating and humanizing religious narratives!

#توقّف_وفكّر

كيف شكّل الاستعمار الطريقة التي نفهم بها بعض المناطق والشعوب والصراعات اليوم؟

اليوم، ندعوك أن تسأل نفسك: لماذا؟

لماذا يُسمّى «الشرق الأوسط»؟
«أوسط» بالنسبة إلى مَن؟ 🤔

هل اللغة حقًا محايدة؟
التسمية ليست بريئة أبدًا. فالكلمات تُشكّل الطريقة التي تُصوَّر بها الشعوب، وكيف يصبح العنف أمرًا طبيعيًا ومقبولًا.

✊ استعادة اللغة تعني استعادة الهوية والتاريخ والكرامة.
لقد حان الوقت للتوقف عن إعادة إنتاج المصطلحات الاستعمارية، والبدء في مساءلة السرديات التي تقف وراءها.
