ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Naif Al-Mutawa - Creator, The 99
Naif Al-Mutawa has created a group of comic superheroes based on Islamic culture and religion. They derive their superpowers from the 99 attributes of Allah.

Why you should listen

Widad the Loving, Bari the Healer, Mumita the Destroyer and friends, all working together to fight evil -- the virtues of Islam are embodied in the characters of the thrilling new comic The 99. Naif Al-Mutawa, a clinical psychologist by training, created the characters with a team of artists and writers to showcase traditional, tolerant and enlightened Muslim values in the guise of good old-fashioned superheroes, ordinary mortals who acquire special powers and crisscross the globe on missions.

Soon, the 99 heroes will be saving the world alongside all-American heroes Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman in a crossover comic with the Justice League. The 99 comic is the corner stone of an expanding family (moving toward videogames and theme parks) that will bring these characters into the mainstream; an animated cartoon series has been announced for fall 2010 on US cable channel The Hub. And US President Barack Obama recently commended The 99 for capturing the imagination of young people through their message of tolerance.

與此同時,一群美國和加拿大的年輕猶太人
00:59
in the United聯合的 States狀態 and Canada加拿大,
16
44000
2000
創造出蝙蝠俠和超人,
01:01
also going back to the Bible聖經.
17
46000
2000
也是受到聖經的啟發。
01:03
Consider考慮 this:
18
48000
2000
大家想想:
01:05
like the prophets先知, all the superheroes超級英雄
19
50000
2000
就像聖經中的先知一樣,所有超級英雄們
01:07
are missing失踪 parents父母.
20
52000
2000
都失去雙親。
01:09
Superman's超人的 parents父母 die on Krypton

23

Bruce Wayne,也就是蝙蝠俠,
01:15
loses失去 his parents父母 at the age年齡 of six in Gotham City.
24

3000
他在六歲時,雙親在高譚市同時被刺殺。
01:18
Spiderman蜘蛛俠 is raised上調
25
63000
2000
蜘蛛人是由他的
01:20
by his aunt姑媽 and uncle叔叔.
26
65000
2000
阿姨和叔叔帶大的。
01:22
And all of them, just like the prophets先知 who get their message信息
27
67000
2000
他們如同先知一般,從天使加百列
01:24
from God through通過 Gabriel加布里埃爾,
28
69000
2000
接收上帝的指令,
01:26
get their message信息 from above以上.
29
71000
2000
英雄的使命從天而降。
01:28
Peter彼得 Parker帕克 is in a library圖書館 in Manhattan曼哈頓
30
73000
2000
Peter Parker 是在曼哈頓的圖書館中
01:30
when the spider蜘蛛 descends下降 from above以上
31
75000
3000
被一隻從天花板降下的蜘蛛叮咬,
01:33
and gives him his message信息 through通過 a bite.
32
78000
3000
而得到他的超能力。
01:36
Bruce布魯斯 Wayne韋恩 is in his bedroom臥室

2000
Bruce Wayne 是在自己的臥室中
01:38
when a big bat蝙蝠 flies蒼蠅 over his head,
34
83000
2000
發現一隻碩大的蝙蝠飛過他頂上,
01:40
and he sees看到 it as an omen預兆 to become成為 Batman蝙蝠俠.
35
85000
3000
認定是個徵兆,要他以「蝙蝠俠」的形象行俠仗義。
01:45
Superman超人 is not only sent發送 to Earth地球
36
90000
2000
而超人不僅是從天堂,或說氪星
01:47
from the heavens, or Krypton,
37
92000
2000
降臨地球,
01:49
but he's sent發送 in a pod, much like Moses摩西 was on the Nile尼羅河.
38
94000
3000
他還是被放在太空艙裡,很像被放進紙莎草箱子,擱在尼羅河邊的摩西。
01:52
(Laughter笑聲)
39
97000
2000
(笑聲)
01:54
And you hear the voice語音 of his father父親, Jor-El佐薩爾瓦多,
40
99000
2000
你們還能聽到它的父親 Jor-El
01:56
saying to Earth地球, "I have sent發送 to you my only son兒子."
41
101000
3000
對地球說「我將我的獨子獻給您了。」
01:59
(Laughter笑聲)
42
104000
2000
(笑聲)
02:01
(Applause掌聲)
43
106000
4000
(掌聲)
02:05
These are clearly明確地 biblical聖經 archetypes原型,
44
110000
2000
這些情節很明顯都是源自聖經,
02:07
and the thinking思維 behind背後 that was to create創建
45
112000
2000
背後的構想在於創作出
02:09
positive, globally-resonating全局共鳴 storylines故事情節
46
114000
3000
有正義感,令世人為之動容的情節
02:12
that could be tied to the same相同 things
47
117000
2000
通過故事展現同樣的積極本質
02:14
that other people were pulling mean messages消息 out of
48
119000
2000
而不會讓人戴著有色眼鏡來批評。
02:16
because then the person that's using運用 religion宗教 for the wrong錯誤 purpose目的
49
121000
3000
因為如果有人將宗教用作惡意目的,
02:19
just becomes a bad man with a bad message信息.
50
124000
3000
那麼他就是讓宗教蒙塵的惡人。
02:22
And it's only by linking鏈接 positive things
51
127000
2000
只有時刻銘記事物的積極一面,
02:24
that the negative can be delinked脫鉤.
52
129000
2000
才能消除悲觀的印象。
02:26
This is the kind of thinking思維 that went into
53
131000
2000
正是因應這種想法
02:28
creating創建 The 99.
54
133000
2000
才創造出 The 99。
02:30
The 99 references引用 the 99 attributes屬性 of Allah真主 in the Koran可蘭經,
55
135000
3000
The 99 來源自真主阿拉的 99 個尊名,
02:33
things like generosity慷慨 and mercy憐憫 and foresight先見之明 and wisdom智慧
56
138000
3000
代表慷慨、慈悲、遠見及智慧,
02:36
and dozens許多 of others其他 that no two people in the world世界 would disagree不同意 about.
57
141000
2000
和一些為世人共同稱道的美德,
02:38
It doesn't matter what your religion宗教 is;
58
143000
2000
並不直接牽涉宗教。
02:40
even if you're an atheist無神論者, you don't raise提高 your kid孩子 telling告訴 him, you know,
59
145000
2000
也就是說,就算你是無神論者,你也不會教孩子
02:42
"Make sure you lie謊言 three times a day."
60
147000
2000
每天撒三次謊。
02:44
Those are basic基本 human人的 values.
61
149000
2000
那些都是基本的價值觀。
02:46
And so the backstory背景故事 of The 99
62
151000
2000
而 The 99 的背景故事
02:48
takes place地點 in 1258,
63
153000
2000
發生在 1258 年,
02:50
which哪一個 history歷史 tells告訴 us the Mongols蒙古人 invaded入侵 Baghdad巴格達 and destroyed銷毀 it.
64
155000
3000
蒙古大軍攻陷巴格達並毀城。
02:53
All the books圖書 from Bait al-HikmaAL-HIKMA library圖書館,
65
158000
2000
當時世界最著名的「智慧之家」圖書館,
02:55
the most famous著名 library圖書館 in its day, were thrown拋出 in the Tigris底格里斯河 River,
66
160000
2000
所有的藏書都被扔進底格里斯河,
02:57
and the Tigris底格里斯河 changes變化 color顏色 with ink墨水.
67
162000
2000
因此河水被墨汁徹底染黑了。
02:59
It's a story故事 passed通過 on generation after generation.
68
164000
3000
這個故事世代流傳。
03:02
I rewrote重寫了 that story故事,
69
167000
2000
我重新詮釋這個故事。
03:04
and in my version, the librarians圖書館 find out that this is going to happen發生 --
70
169000
2000
在我改編的版本裡,智慧之家的圖書館員預見即將發生的事件——
03:06
and here's這裡的 a side note注意:
71
171000
2000
我順帶一提:
03:08
if you want a comic滑稽 book to do well, make the librarians圖書館 the hero英雄. It always works作品 well.
72
173000
3000
如果你想讓一部漫畫書受歡迎,就讓圖書館員成為英雄。絕對不會錯。
03:11
(Laughter笑聲)
73
176000
3000
(笑聲)
03:14
(Applause掌聲)
74
179000
2000
(掌聲)
03:16
So the librarians圖書館 find out
75
181000
2000
所以那些圖書館員
03:18
and they get together一起 a special特別 solution, a chemical化學 solution called King's國王 Water,
76
183000
2000
協力研製出一個特殊的化學配方,喚作「君王之水」,
03:20
that when mixed with 99 stones石頭
77
185000
2000
將藥水跟 99 個寶石混合,
03:22
would be able能夠 to save保存 all that culture文化 and history歷史 in the books圖書.
78
187000
3000
藥水就能保存書籍中記載的所有文化與歷史。
03:25
But the Mongols蒙古人 get there first.
79
190000
2000
不幸地,蒙古大軍早先一步,
03:27
The books圖書 and the solution get thrown拋出 in the Tigris底格里斯河 River.
80
192000
2000
將書籍和藥水一起扔進底格里斯河。
03:29
Some librarians圖書館 escape逃逸, and over the course課程 of days and weeks,
81
194000
3000
一些圖書館員逃走了,而在數週的時日內,
03:32
they dip the stones石頭 into the Tigris底格里斯河 and suck吮吸 up that collective集體 wisdom智慧
82
197000
3000
他們把寶石浸在底格里斯河以吸取
03:35
that we all think is lost丟失 to civilization文明.
83
200000
2000
我們以為已經流失的智慧財富。
03:37
Those stones石頭 have been smuggled走私 as three prayer禱告 beads
84
202000
2000
這些寶石被做成三串念珠,
03:39
of 33 stones石頭 each
85
204000
2000
每串三十三顆,
03:41
through通過 Arabia阿拉伯 into Andalusia安達盧西亞 in Spain西班牙, where they're safe安全 for 200 years年份.
86
206000
3000
從阿拉伯偷渡至安達魯西亞,安全保存兩百年。
03:44
But in 1492, two important重要 things happen發生.
87
209000
3000
但在 1492 年,兩個重大的歷史事件發生了。
03:47
The first is the fall秋季 of Granada格拉納達,
88
212000
2000
首先是格拉那達,
03:49
the last Muslim穆斯林 enclave飛地 in Europe歐洲.
89
214000
2000
歐洲最後一個穆斯林領土淪陷。
03:51
The second第二 is Columbus哥倫布 finally最後 gets得到 funded資助 to go to India印度, but he gets得到 lost丟失.
90
216000
3000
第二是哥倫布終於得到資助航行印度,但最後去錯了地方。
03:54
(Laughter笑聲)
91
219000
3000
(笑聲)
03:57
So 33 of the stones石頭 are smuggled走私
92
222000
2000
所以其中三十三顆寶石
03:59
onto the Nina尼娜, the Pinta平塔 and the Santa聖誕老人 Maria瑪麗亞
93
224000
2000
由哥倫布船隊的尼尼亞號、平塔號和聖瑪利亞號
04:01
and are spread傳播 in the New World世界.
94
226000
2000
傳至新大陸。
04:03
Thirty-three三十三 go on the Silk Road to China中國, South Asia亞洲 and Southeast東南 Asia亞洲.
95
228000
2000
還有三十三顆通過絲路到中國、南亞及東南亞。
04:05
And 33 are spread傳播 between之間 Europe歐洲, the Middle中間 East and Africa非洲.
96
230000
3000
最後三十三顆散佈在歐洲、中東及非洲各地。
04:08
And now it's 2010, and there are 99 heroes英雄
97
233000
3000
到了 2010 年,出現九十九位英雄
04:11
from 99 different不同 countries國家.
98
236000
2000
分別來自於九十九個國家。
04:13
Now it's very easy簡單 to assume承擔
99
238000
2000
現在我們很容易這樣聯想,
04:15
that those books圖書, because they were from a library圖書館 called Bait al-HikmaAL-HIKMA, were Muslim穆斯林 books圖書,
100
240000
3000
那些來自於智慧之家圖書館的書籍,看來就是面向於穆斯林的。
04:18
but that's not the case案件 because the caliph哈里發 that built內置 that library圖書館,
101
243000
3000
其實不然,因為當時修建圖書館的國王,
04:21
his name名稱 was al-Ma'munAL-馬穆 -- he was Harun哈倫 al-Rashid's拉希德的 son兒子.
102
246000
3000
名叫阿爾·馬蒙 —— 他是哈倫·拉希德的兒子,
04:24
He had told his advisers顧問, "Get me all the scholars學者
103
249000
2000
他對幕僚們說:「把學者們都請到我這裡來,
04:26
to translate翻譯 any book they can get their hands onto into Arabic阿拉伯,
104
251000
3000
讓他們把所有能找到的書都翻譯成阿拉伯語,
04:29
and I will pay工資 them its weight重量 in gold."
105
254000
2000
我會酬予他們與書同重的黃金。」
04:31
After a while, his advisers顧問 complained抱怨.
106
256000
2000
沒多久,他的幕僚們開始抱怨,
04:33
They said, "Your Highness高度, the scholars學者 are cheating作弊.
107
258000
2000
他們這樣說,「陛下,學者們在作弊。
04:35
They're writing寫作 in big handwriting手寫 to take more gold."
108
260000
3000
他們故意把字寫大,好換取更多金子。」
04:39
To which哪一個 he said, "Let them be, because what they're giving us
109
264000
2000
而他回答說,「隨他們去,因為學者為我們所作的
04:41
is worth價值 a lot more than what we're paying付款 them."
110
266000
2000
比黃金有價值得多。」
04:43
So the idea理念 of an open打開 architecture建築, an open打開 knowledge知識,
111
268000
2000
這樣開放建築、開放知識的想法,
04:45
is not new to my neck頸部 of the desert沙漠.
112
270000
3000
在我的國家裡不是什麼新鮮事了。
04:48
The concept概念 centers中心 on something called the Noor努爾 stones石頭.
113
273000
2000
故事主題圍繞著被稱作 Noor 的寶石。
04:50
Noor努爾 is Arabic阿拉伯 for light.
114
275000
2000
"Noor" 是阿拉伯文「光明」之意。
04:52
So these 99 stones石頭, a few少數 kind of rules規則 in the game遊戲:
115
277000
3000
這九十九顆寶石本身有一些規則:
04:55
Number one, you don't choose選擇 the stone; the stone chooses you.
116
280000
2000
第一,不是你選擇寶石;是寶石選中你。
04:57
There's a King國王 Arthur亞瑟 element元件 to the storyline故事情節, okay.
117
282000
3000
這是仿效《亞瑟王》的傳說情節。
05:00
Number two, all of The 99,
118
285000
2000
第二,當九十九個英雄
05:02
when they first get their stone, or their power功率, abuse濫用 it;
119
287000
3000
最初得到寶石的力量時,不外乎地
05:05
they use it for self-interest自我利益.
120
290000
2000
利用它滿足私心。
05:07
And there's a very strong強大 message信息 in there that when you start開始 abusing濫用 your stone,
121
292000
3000
這傳達一個重要的訊息,一旦你開始誤用寶石,
05:10
you get taken採取 advantage優點 of
122
295000
2000
那些想要運用你的力量的人們
05:12
by people who will exploit利用 your powers權力, okay.
123
297000
3000
就會設法操縱你。
05:15
Number three, the 99 stones石頭 all have within them
124
300000
3000
第三,九十九個寶石都具備
05:18
a mechanism機制 that self-updates自我更新.
125
303000
2000
自我升級的能力。
05:20
Now there are two groups that exist存在 within the Muslim穆斯林 world世界.
126
305000
3000
當今的穆斯林世界有兩大派別。
05:23
Everybody每個人 believes相信 the Koran可蘭經 is for all time and all place地點.
127
308000
2000
所有人都相信古蘭經適用於每個時代和地區。
05:25
Some believe that means手段 that the original原版的 interpretation解釋
128
310000
2000
部分人認為這意味著經文原始的解釋,
05:27
from a couple一對 thousand years年份 ago is what's relevant相應 today今天.
129
312000
3000
從幾千年前時至今日仍然適用。
05:30
I don't belong屬於 there.
130
315000
2000
我不這麼認為。
05:32
Then there's a group that believes相信 the Koran可蘭經 is a living活的, breathing呼吸 document文件,
131
317000
3000
另外有些人相信古蘭經是活的、有機的經典。
05:35
and I captured捕獲 that idea理念 within these stones石頭 that self-update自我更新.
132
320000
2000
這就是寶石擁有自我更新能力的由來。
05:37
Now the main主要 bad guy, RughalRughal,
133
322000
2000
而故事中主要的反派,盧加爾 (Rughal),
05:39
does not want these stones石頭 to update更新,
134
324000
2000
不希望這些寶石升級。
05:41
so he's trying to get them to stop updating更新.
135
326000
2000
所以他嘗試阻止它們自我更新。
05:43
He can't use the stones石頭, but he can stop them.
136
328000
3000
他不能運用寶石,但可以抑制寶石的力量。
05:46
And by stopping停止 them, he has more of a fascist法西斯 agenda議程,
137
331000
3000
通過抑制寶石的力量,他就能大肆進行獨裁行動,
05:49
where he gets得到 some of The 99 to work for him --
138
334000
2000
他欺騙九十九位英雄中的部分人為他效力。
05:51
they're all wearing穿著 cookie-cutter千篇一律, same相同 color顏色 uniforms制服
139
336000
2000
為他效力的人都身著同樣款式,同色的制服。
05:53
They're not allowed允許 to individually個別地 express表現 who they are and what they are.
140
338000
3000
他們不能私下透漏自己的身份。
05:56
And he controls控制 them from the top最佳 down --
141
341000
2000
而他親自指揮這些人。
05:58
whereas when they work for the other side, eventually終於,
142
343000
2000
然而當他們終於投奔正義方,
06:00
when they find out this is the wrong錯誤 person, they've他們已經 been manipulated操縱,
143
345000
2000
知道自己曾被操縱並效力於惡徒之後,
06:02
they actually其實, each one has a different不同, colorful華美
144
347000
3000
他們都換成不同顏色、
06:05
kind of dress連衣裙.
145
350000
2000
不同外型的服裝。
06:07
And the last point about the 99 Noor努爾 stones石頭 is this.
146
352000
2000
關於九十九個光明寶石,最後的規則是,
06:09
So The 99 work in teams球隊 of three.
147
354000
3000
九十九個英雄要以三個分為一組行動。
06:12
Why three? A couple一對 of reasons原因.
148
357000
2000
為何是三個?原因如下。
06:14
Number one, we have a thing within Islam伊斯蘭教 that you don't leave離開 a boy男孩 and a girl女孩 alone單獨 together一起,
149
359000
3000
第一,伊斯蘭教規不允許孤男寡女私下相處。
06:17
because the third第三 person is temptation誘惑 or the devil魔鬼, right?
150
362000
3000
因為誘惑跟魔鬼會從中介入。
06:20
I think that's there in all cultures文化, right?
151
365000
3000
所有的文化都是這麼說的,對吧?
06:23
But this is not about religion宗教, it's not about proselytizing傳教.
152
368000
2000
但這與宗教無關,沒有在灌輸教條。
06:25
There's this very strong強大 social社會 message信息
153
370000
2000
這其中蘊含了強烈的社會訊息,
06:27
that needs需求 to get to kind of
154
372000
2000
我們需要良善對待
06:29
the deepest最深 crevices裂縫 of intolerance不耐症,
155
374000
2000
最深層的偏見。
06:31
and the only way to get there is to kind of play the game遊戲.
156
376000
2000
要達到這個目的,就得行動起來。
06:33
And so this is the way I dealt處理 with it.
157
378000
2000
於是,我們就這樣為英雄分組。
06:35
They work in teams球隊 of three: two boys男孩 and a girl女孩, two girls女孩 and a boy男孩,
158
380000
2000
他們三人一組,可能是兩男一女或兩女一男,
06:37
three boys男孩, three girls女孩, no problem問題.
159
382000
2000
也有三個都是男生或都是女生的,都沒有問題。
06:39
And the Swiss瑞士人 psychoanalyst心理醫生, Carl卡爾 Jung榮格, also spoke about
160
384000
2000
瑞士的精神分析學家,卡爾·容格,也曾主張
06:41
the importance重要性 of the number three in all cultures文化, so I figure數字 I'm covered覆蓋.
161
386000
3000
數字「三」在所有文化的重要性,我想我掌握它了。
06:44
Well ...
162
389000
2000
不過呢......
06:46
I got accused被告 in a few少數 blogs博客 that I was actually其實 sent發送 by the Pope教皇
163
391000
3000
有些人在 blog 上指責我是由天主教皇派來
06:49
to preach傳道 the Trinity三位一體 and Catholicism天主教 in the Middle中間 East,
164
394000
3000
到中東宣傳三位一體跟天主教法的,
06:52
so you -- (Laughter笑聲)
165
397000
3000
所以......(笑聲)
06:55
you believe who you want. I gave you my version of the story故事.
166
400000
3000
不論你相信什麼 —— 反正我說了我的故事。
06:58
So here's這裡的 some of the characters人物 that we have.
167
403000
2000
下面介紹故事的幾位主角。
07:00
MujibaMujiba, from Malaysia馬來西亞: her main主要 power功率 is she's able能夠 to answer回答 any question.
168
405000
2000
穆吉巴 (Mujiba),來自馬來西亞,她最主要的力量是能解答任何的問題。
07:02
She's the Trivial不重要的 Pursuit追求 queen女王, if you want,
169
407000
3000
如果她玩棋盤問答 (Trivial Pursuit) 遊戲,肯定是百勝將軍。
07:05
but when she first gets得到 her power功率,
170
410000
2000
而她最初獲得力量的時候,
07:07
she starts啟動 going on game遊戲 shows節目 and making製造 money.
171

3000
確實是藉此在問答遊戲節目撈一大筆。
07:10
We have Jabbar賈巴爾 from Saudi沙特 who starts啟動 breaking破壞 things when he has the power功率.
172
415000
3000
而這是來自沙烏地阿拉伯的賈巴爾 (Jabbar),他擁有無堅不催的怪力。
07:13
Now, MumitaMumita was a fun開玩笑 one to name名稱. MumitaMumita is the destroyer驅逐艦.
173
418000
2000
然後這是穆密塔 (Mumita),名字很有趣。穆密塔代表「毀滅」。
07:15
So the 99 attributes屬性 of Allah真主 have the yin and the yang;
174
420000
3000
真主阿拉的九十九個尊名中,包涵陽剛及陰柔的性質。
07:18
there's the powerful強大, the hegemonoushegemonous, the strong強大,
175
423000
2000

176
425000
2000
陰柔的性質體現善良與雅量。
07:22
I'm like, are all the girls女孩 going to be kind and merciful仁慈 and the guys all strong強大?
177
427000
2000
我傾向將女生設定得比較善良慈悲,而男生比較陽剛。
07:24
I'm like, you know what, I've met會見 a few少數 girls女孩 who were destroyers驅逐艦 in my lifetime一生, so ...
178
429000
3000
你知道嗎,以前我認識幾個女孩,她們實在很會折磨人,所以......
07:27
(Laughter笑聲)
179
432000
2000
(笑聲)
07:29
We have Jami雅米 from Hungary匈牙利, who first starts啟動 making製造 weapons武器:
180
434000
2000
這位是來自匈牙利的加米 (Jami),擅長製造武器。
07:31
He's the technology技術 wizWIZ.
181
436000
2000
他是個「科技巫師」。
07:33
MusawwiraMusawwira from Ghana加納,
182

2000
還有來自迦納的穆薩維拉 (Musawwira);

443000
2000

Al-Batina鋁Batina is the hidden.
185
445000
2000
這名字源自 Al-Batin,意指隱者。
07:42
So Al-Batina鋁Batina is hidden, but she's a superhero超級英雄.
186
447000
2000
所以巴廷娜總是低調行事,但確實是個超級英雄。
07:44
I came來了 home to my wife妻子 and I said, "I created創建 a character字符 after you."
187
449000
2000

455000
2000
她說,「這不像我啊。」
07:52
I said, "Look at the eyes眼睛. They're your eyes眼睛."
191
457000
2000
我回答,「看那雙眼睛,那是照著妳的眼睛畫的。」
07:54

This was going to be Superman超人, or it wasn't worth價值 my time or their money.

2000
謝謝。
13:00
(Applause掌聲)

(掌聲)
13:06
So "The 99" is technology技術; it's entertainment娛樂;
302
771000
2000
"The 99" 體現科技、娛樂、
13:08
it's design設計.
303
773000
2000
及精湛的設計。
13:10
But that's only half the story故事.
304
775000
3000
但不只如此。
13:13
As the father父親 of five sons兒子,
305
778000
2000
作為五個孩子的父親,
13:15
I worry擔心 about who they're going to be using運用 as role角色 models楷模.
306
780000
2000
我掛心於他們會將什麼樣的人當作偶像。
13:17
I worry擔心 because all around me, even within my extended擴展 family家庭,
307
782000
3000
我掛心於此是因為,即使自身是在大家庭裡,
13:20
I see religion宗教 being存在 manipulated操縱.
308
785000
3000
我依然會看到宗教被不當運用。
13:23
As a psychologist心理學家, I worry擔心
309
788000
3000
作為一個心理學家,我掛念於
13:26
for the world世界 in general一般,
310
791000
2000
這個廣大世界,
13:28
but worry擔心 about the perception知覺 of how people see themselves他們自己
311
793000
2000
也掛心在身邊的人是如何
13:30
in my part部分 of the world世界.
312
795000
2000
看待他們自己。
13:32
Now, I'm a clinical臨床 psychologist心理學家. I'm licensed領有牌照 in New York紐約 State.
313
797000
2000
我是個臨床心理師,在紐約州獲得執照。
13:34
I trained熟練 at Bellevue貝爾維尤 Hospital醫院 Survivors倖存者 of Political政治 Torture拷打 Program程序,
314
799000
3000
我曾在貝爾維尤醫院對政治迫害倖存者進行培訓。
13:38
and I heard聽說 one too many許多 stories故事 of people growing生長 up
315
803000
2000
我聽到太多關於人們在成長過程中
13:40
to idolize偶像化 their leadership領導,
316
805000
2000
如何崇拜他們的領袖,
13:42
only to end結束 up being存在 tortured折磨 by their heroes英雄.
317
807000
2000
最終卻被他們心目中的英雄迫害。
13:44
And torture's折磨的 a terrible可怕 enough足夠 thing as it is, but when it's doneDONE by your hero英雄,
318
809000
2000
迫害這回事本來就夠恐怖的,而如果迫害由你崇拜的英雄所為,
13:46
that just breaks休息 you in so many許多 ways方法.
319
811000
3000
那會令你更加痛不欲生。
13:49
I left Bellevue貝爾維尤, went to business商業 school學校 and started開始 this.
320
814000
3000
我離開貝爾維尤,轉去商學院並開始構思這部漫畫。
13:54
Now, one of the things that I refer參考 to
321
819000
2000
我的靈感來源之一是
13:56
when I -- about the importance重要性 of this message信息 --
322
821000
2000
當我 —— 這是最重要的部份 ——
13:58
is that I gave a lecture演講 at the medical school學校 at Kuwait科威特 University大學,
323
823000
2000
我在科威特大學的醫學院做了一次演講
14:00
where I lecture演講 on the biological生物 basis基礎 of behavior行為,
324
825000
3000
我講了關於行為的生理基礎,
14:03
and I gave the students學生們 two articles用品, one from The New York紐約 Times
325
828000
2000
還給學生們兩篇文章,一篇來自《紐約時報》,
14:05
and one from New York紐約 magazine雜誌.
326
830000
2000
一篇則來自《紐約週刊》。
14:07
And I took away the name名稱 of the writer作家, the name名稱 of the [unclear不明] -- everything was gone走了 except the facts事實.
327
832000
3000
我去除作者的名稱,只留下文章陳述。
14:10
And the first one was about a group called The Party派對 of God,
328
835000
2000
第一篇文章是描述一個叫做 "The Party of God" 的組織,
14:12
who wanted to ban禁止 Valentine's情人節 Day. Red was made製作 illegal非法.
329
837000
3000
他們想要廢除情人節,因為認為紅色是不規矩的。
14:15
Any boys男孩 and girls女孩 caught抓住 flirting調情
330
840000
2000
如果發現男女在調情,
14:17
would get married已婚 off immediately立即, okay.
331
842000
2000
就要他們立刻結婚。
14:19
The second第二 one was about a woman女人 complaining抱怨的
332
844000
2000
第二篇文章是述說一個婦女的抱怨,
14:21
because three minivans小型貨車 with six bearded大鬍子 men男人 pulled up
333
846000
2000
六個蓄鬍的男人從三輛小貨車下來,
14:23
and started開始 interrogating詢問 her on the spot
334
848000
2000
開始當場質問這位婦女
14:25
for talking to a man who wasn't related有關 to her.
335
850000
2000
為什麼她與一個沒有親緣關係的男人交談。
14:27
And I asked the students學生們 in Kuwait科威特 where they thought these incidents事故 took place地點.
336
852000
3000
我讓科威特的學生猜猜這些事件發生的地點。
14:30
The first one, they said Saudi沙特 Arabia阿拉伯. There was no debate辯論.
337
855000
3000
他們說第一個故事發生在沙烏地阿拉伯,沒有人持不同意見。
14:33
The second第二 one, they were actually其實 split分裂
338
858000
2000
關於第二個故事,有人還是認為這是
14:35
between之間 Saudi沙特 and Afghanistan阿富汗.
339
860000
2000
發生在沙烏地的事,有人認為在阿富汗。
14:37
What blew自爆 their mind心神 was the first one took place地點 in India印度,
340
862000
3000
出乎他們意料的是,第一個事件發生在印度,
14:40
it was the party派對 of a Hindu印度教 God.
341
865000
3000
那是一個信仰印度某位神祇的組織。
14:43
The second第二 one took place地點 in upstate北部 New York紐約.
342
868000
2000
第二個事件是發生在紐約上州。
14:45
It was an Orthodox正統 Jewish猶太 community社區.
343
870000
2000
那裡有個正教派猶太社區。
14:47
But what breaks休息 my heart and what's alarming驚人
344
872000
3000
但令我心痛並擔憂的是
14:50
is that in those two interviews面試,
345
875000
2000
在這兩則報導中
14:52
the people around, who were interviewed採訪 as well,
346
877000
2000
被採訪的旁觀者
14:54
refer參考 to that behavior行為 as Talibanization塔利班.
347
879000
3000
都認定這些事件像是塔利班組織的作為。
14:57
In other words, good Hindus印度教徒 and good Jews猶太人 don't act法案 this way.
348
882000
3000
換句話說,善良的印度人和猶太人不會做出這種事。
15:00
This is Islam's伊斯蘭教的 influence影響 on Hinduism印度教 and Judaism猶太教.
349
885000
3000
這是伊斯蘭教影響印度教和猶太教才會如此。
15:03
But what do the students學生們 in Kuwait科威特 say? They said it's us --
350
888000
3000
而科威特的學生是怎麼說的?他說這是我們會做的事。
15:06
and this is dangerous危險.
351
891000
2000
這種想法是危險的。
15:08
It's dangerous危險 when a group self-identifies自我識別 itself本身
352
893000
2000
當一群人都自認是極端份子時,
15:10
as extreme極端.
353
895000
2000
是相當危險的。
15:13
This is one of my sons兒子, RayanRAYAN,
354
898000
2000
這是我其中一個兒子 Rayan,
15:15
who's誰是 a Scooby史酷比 Doo addict癮君子.
355
900000
2000
他是個《叔比狗》迷。
15:17
You can tell by the glasses眼鏡 there.
356
902000
2000
你看他戴的眼鏡就知道了。
15:19
He actually其實 called me a meddling插手 kid孩子 the other day.
357
904000
2000
他有一天還喚我作淘氣小子。
15:21
(Laughter笑聲)
358
906000
2000
(笑聲)
15:23
But I borrow a lesson that I learned學到了 from him.
359
908000
3000
但我從他那裡學到一個道理。
15:26
Last summer夏季 when we were in our home in New York紐約,
360
911000
2000
去年夏天我們在紐約的家裡,
15:28
he was out in the yard playing播放 in his playhouse劇場. And I was in my office辦公室 working加工,
361
913000
3000
他在院子裡的遊戲小屋玩耍。而我在書房裡工作,
15:31
and he came來了 in, "Baba巴巴, I want you to come with me. I want my toy玩具."
362
916000
2000
而他走進書房,「爸爸,你跟我過來一下,我想要我的玩具。」
15:33
"Yes, RayanRAYAN, just go away." He left his Scooby史酷比 Doo in his house.
363
918000
2000
「好,Rayan,你先走。」他將他的叔比狗玩具留在小屋裡。
15:35
I said, "Go away. I'm working加工. I'm busy."
364
920000
3000
我說,「走開哪。我在工作,我很忙。」
15:38
And what RayanRAYAN did then
365
923000
2000
結果 Rayhan
15:40
is he satSAT there, he tapped竊聽 his foot腳丫子 on the floor地板, at three and a half,
366
925000
2000
就坐在那裡,腳使勁蹬著地,連續三個半分鐘,
15:42
and he looked看著 at me and he said, "Baba巴巴,
367
927000
2000
然後他看著我說,「爸爸,
15:44
I want you to come with me to my office辦公室 in my house.
368
929000
3000
跟我過來到我屋裡的書房。
15:47
I have work to do."
369
932000
2000
我手上也有工作呢。」
15:49
(Laughter笑聲)
370
934000
2000
(笑聲)
15:51
(Applause掌聲)
371
936000
2000
(掌聲)
15:53
RayanRAYAN reframed重新定義 the situation情況
372
938000
2000
Rayhan 重新定義局面
15:55
and brought himself他自己 down to my level水平.
373
940000
2000
並將他的立場調到和我平等。
15:57
(Laughter笑聲)
374
942000
3000
(笑聲)
16:00
And with The 99, that is what we aim目標 to do.
375
945000
3000
這就是我們創作 The 99 的目的。
16:03
You know, I think that there's a big parallel平行
376
948000
2000
我認為將十字架的形狀彎曲
16:05
between之間 bending彎曲 the crucifix十字架 out of shape形狀
377
950000
3000
及創造出納粹十字章之間
16:08
and creating創建 swastikas納粹黨徽.
378
953000
2000
是平行的關係。
16:10
And when I see pictures圖片 like this, of parents父母 or uncles叔叔
379
955000
3000
當我看到這些照片,雙親或是叔父
16:13
who think it's cute可愛 to have a little child兒童
380
958000
2000
認為一個小孩持著古蘭經
16:15
holding保持 a Koran可蘭經 and having a suicide自殺 bomber轟炸機 belt around them
381
960000
3000
又綁著幾個自殺炸彈進行示威
16:18
to protest抗議 something,
382
963000
2000
是很可愛的。
16:20
the hope希望 is by linking鏈接 enough足夠 positive things
383
965000
3000
而我希望讓人們對於古蘭經有更多
16:23
to the Koran可蘭經,
384
968000
2000
積極的認識,
16:25
that one day we can move移動 this child兒童
385
970000
3000
如此,有一天我們能將這個孩子
16:28
from being存在 proud驕傲 in the way they're proud驕傲 there,
386
973000
3000
的自信來源從這身武裝
16:31
to that.
387
976000
3000
換成這個造型。
16:34
And I think --
388
979000
2000
而我認為 —— (掌聲)
16:36
I think The 99
389
981000
2000
我相信 The 99
16:38
can and will achieve實現 its mission任務.
390
983000
3000
能夠完成它的使命。
16:42
As an undergrad本科生 at Tufts塔夫茨 University大學, we were giving away free自由 falafel沙拉三明治 one day
391
987000
3000
有一天在塔夫斯大學的本科部,我們免費發放炸豆丸子 (falafel),
16:45
and, you know, it was Middle中間 East Day or something.
392
990000
2000
因為當天是「中東日」或是類似的節日。
16:47
And people came來了 up and picked採摘的 up
393
992000
2000
然後人們走過來,從這些炸豆丸子
16:49
the culturally文化 resonant諧振 image圖片 of the falafel沙拉三明治,
394
994000
3000
引發文化形象上的共鳴,
16:52
ate it and, you know, talked and left.
395
997000
2000
品嚐它們,談了些話,就離開了。
16:54
And no two people could disagree不同意 about what the word free自由 was
396
999000
2000
沒有誰會誤解兩個詞語 "free"免費
16:56
and what the word falafel沙拉三明治 was, behind背後 us, "free自由 falafel沙拉三明治." You know.
397
1001000
2000
以及 "falafel" 的意思 —— 「釋放法拉菲爾」,你瞭解的。
16:58
(Laughter笑聲)
398
1003000
2000
(笑聲)
17:00
Or so we thought,
399

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Naif Al-Mutawa - Creator, The 99
Naif Al-Mutawa has created a group of comic superheroes based on Islamic culture and religion. They derive their superpowers from the 99 attributes of Allah.

Why you should listen

Widad the Loving, Bari the Healer, Mumita the Destroyer and friends, all working together to fight evil -- the virtues of Islam are embodied in the characters of the thrilling new comic The 99. Naif Al-Mutawa, a clinical psychologist by training, created the characters with a team of artists and writers to showcase traditional, tolerant and enlightened Muslim values in the guise of good old-fashioned superheroes, ordinary mortals who acquire special powers and crisscross the globe on missions.

Soon, the 99 heroes will be saving the world alongside all-American heroes Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman in a crossover comic with the Justice League. The 99 comic is the corner stone of an expanding family (moving toward videogames and theme parks) that will bring these characters into the mainstream; an animated cartoon series has been announced for fall 2010 on US cable channel The Hub. And US President Barack Obama recently commended The 99 for capturing the imagination of young people through their message of tolerance.
