Présentation de la thèse par l’auteur
LORSQUE MUHAMMAD DECLARA ETRE L’ENVOYE DE DIEU, LES ARABES DE LA PENINSULE SE DIVISERENT EN DEUX PARTIS, LES PARTISANTS DU PROPHETE QUI ONT CRU A SA MISSION ET SE SONT FAITS MUSULMANS, ET LES HOSTILES QUI ONT REFUSE D’ABANDONNER LA RELIGION DES ANCETRES. DES LES PREMIERES ANNEES DE LA REVELATION, DES QUERELLES COMMENCERENT ENTRE LES DEUX FRERES ENNEMIS. ET DEVANT DES PRESSIONS CROISSANTES ET DES VIOLENCES PHYSIQUES POUR DETACHER LES NOUVEAUX CONVERTIS DE LEUR CROYANCE, MUHAMMAD ET SES FIDELES SE VIRENT CONTRAINTS DE QUITTER LA MECQUE ET D’ALLER S’INSTALLER A MEDINE OU ILS FONDERENT LA PREMIERE COMMUNAUTE. A PARTIR DE CE MOMENT, LES POLYTHEISTES SE LANCERENT DANS LA SATIRE DE L’ISLAM, DU PROPHETE ET DE SES ADEPTES. ET C’EST AINSI QU’UNE GUERRE ACHARNEE DE PAROLES, SE MANIFESTANT DANS LA POESIE, S’ENFLAMMA ENTRE LES MUSULMANS ET LES PAIENS. L’OBJET DE NOTRE TRAVAIL A CONSISTE DONC A RECUEILLIR ET A ETUDIER LA POESIE HOSTILE A L’ISLAM.
English presentation
WHEN MUHAMMAD CLAIMED TO BE SENT BY GOD, THE ARABS OF THE PENINSULA SPLIT INTO TWO PARTIS, THOSE WHO BACKED THE PROPHET AND THEREFORE BELIVED IN HIS MISSION AND BECAME MUSLIMS AND THOSE WHO WERE HOSTILE AND THEREFORE REFUSED TO ABANDON THE RELIGION OF THE FOREFATHERS. FROM THE EARLY YERS OF THE REVEALED RELIGION, QUARRELS STARTED BETWEEN THE BROTHERS TURNED HOSTILE TO EACH OTHER. IN THE FACE OF GROWING PRESSURES AND ACTS OF VIOLENCE AIMED AT KEEPING THE NEW CONVERTS FROM THEIR FAITH, MUHAMMAD AND HIS FAITHFUL WHERE DRIVING OUT OF THE MECCA AND FORCED TO SETTLE IN MEDINA WHERE THEY FOUNED THE FIRST MUSLIM ORDER. FROM THEN ON, POLYTHEISTS LAUNCHED SATIRICAL ATTACKS AGAINST ISLAM, ITS PROPHET AND ITS FOLLOWERS. IN THIS WAY RELENTLESS WAR OF WORDS SET OUT AS POETRY OLSO BEARS WITNESS AND FURTHER DIVIDED PAGANS AND MUSLIMS. THE OBJECT OF THIS THESIS IS TO COLLECT AND THEN STUDY THIS POETRY WHICH WAS HOSTILE TO ISLAM.
