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.

also going back to the Bible圣经.
17
46000
2000
创造了蝙蝠侠和超人。
01:03
Consider考虑 this:
18
48000
2000
大家想想:
01:05
like the prophets先知, all the superheroes超级英雄
19
50000
2000
就像圣经中的先知一样,所有超级英雄
01:07

27
67000
2000
那些先知们通过天使加百利
01:24
from God through通过 Gabriel加布里埃尔,
28
69000

接收上帝的指令,
01:26
get their message信息 from above以上.

这些超级英雄们的使命也是从天而降。
01:28
Peter彼得 Parker帕克 is in a library图书馆 in Manhattan曼哈顿

彼得·帕克是在曼哈顿的一座图书馆里
01:30

and he sees看到 it as an omen预兆 to become成为 Batman蝙蝠侠.
35
85000
3000
认定那是他成为蝙蝠侠的征兆。
01:45
Superman超人 is not only sent发送 to Earth地球
36
90000
2000
而超人不仅从天堂,或者说氪星,
01:47
from the heavens, or Krypton,
37
92000
2000
被送到了地球上,
01:49
but he's sent发送 in a pod, much like Moses摩西 was on the Nile尼罗河.
38
94000
3000
他还是坐着太空仓来的,听上去像被放在木盆里漂流在尼罗河上的摩西。
01:52
(Laughter笑声)
39
97000
2000
(笑声)
01:54
And you hear the voice语音 of his father父亲, Jor-El佐萨尔瓦多,

3000
对地球说:“我把我的独子献给你们了。”
01:59
(Laughter笑声)
42
104000
2000
(笑声)
02:01
(Applause掌声)
43
106000
4000
(掌声)
02:05
These are clearly明确地 biblical圣经 archetypes原型,
44
110000
2000
这些显然都可以在圣经中找到原型,
02:07
and the thinking思维 behind背后 that was to create创建
45
112000
2000
其背后的目的是
02:09
positive, globally-resonating全局共鸣 storylines故事情节
46
114000
3000
创作出充满正义感,让全世界人都为之动容的故事情节,
02:12
that could be tied to the same相同 things
47
117000
2000
通过故事来展现事物的积极面,
02:14
that other people were pulling mean messages消息 out of
48
119000
2000
而不是一味地任居心不良的人将其抹黑。
02:16
because then the person that's using运用 religion宗教 for the wrong错误 purpose目的
49
121000
3000
因为如果有人利用宗教来作坏事,
02:19
just becomes a bad man with a bad message信息.
50
124000
3000
那么他是一个坏人,让人对那个宗教产生坏印象。
02:22
And it's only by linking链接 positive things
51
127000
2000
只有时刻想着事物的积极面,
02:24
that the negative can be delinked脱钩.
52
129000
2000
才能消除消极的印象。
02:26
This is the kind of thinking思维 that went into
53
131000
2000
正是本着这样的想法
02:28
creating创建 The 99.
54
133000
2000
我们创作了The 99。
02:30
The 99 references引用 the 99 attributes属性 of Allah真主 in the Koran可兰经,
55
135000
3000
The 99来源于古兰经里真主阿拉的99个尊名,
02:33
things like generosity慷慨 and mercy怜悯 and foresight先见之明 and wisdom智慧
56
138000
3000
代表了慷慨,慈悲,远见,智慧
02:36
and dozens许多 of others其他 that no two people in the world世界 would disagree不同意 about.
57
141000
2000
和其他一些为世人所共同称道的美德。
02:38
It doesn't matter what your religion宗教 is;
58
143000
2000
这些与宗教信仰无关。
02:40
even if you're an atheist无神论者, you don't raise提高 your kid孩子 telling告诉 him, you know,
59
145000
2000
也就是说,就算你是无神论者,你也不会教自己的孩子
02:42
"Make sure you lie谎言 three times a day."
60
147000
2000
每天说三次谎。
02:44
Those are basic基本 human人的 values.
61
149000
2000
那些都是基本的价值观。
02:46
And so the backstory背景故事 of The 99
62
151000
2000
The 99的背景故事
02:48
takes place地点 in 1258,
63
153000
2000
发生在1258年,
02:50
which哪一个 history历史 tells告诉 us the Mongols蒙古人 invaded入侵 Baghdad巴格达 and destroyed销毁 it.
64
155000
3000
蒙古大军攻陷巴格达。
02:53
All the books图书 from Bait al-HikmaAL-HIKMA library图书馆,
65
158000
2000
当时最著名的图书馆智慧宫里所有藏书
02:55
the most famous著名 library图书馆 in its day, were thrown抛出 in the Tigris底格里斯河 River,
66
160000
2000
都被投入了底格里斯河。
02:57
and the Tigris底格里斯河 changes变化 color颜色 with ink墨水.
67
162000
2000
河水因此全被墨汁染黑了。
02:59
It's a story故事 passed通过 on generation after generation.
68
164000
3000
这个故事世代流传。
03:02
I rewrote重写了 that story故事,
69
167000
2000
我改编了这个故事。
03:04
and in my version, the librarians图书馆 find out that this is going to happen发生 --
70
169000
2000
在我改编后的版本里,智慧宫的图书馆员们预见到了即将发生的事情-
03:06
and here's这里的 a side note注意:
71
171000
2000
我顺便说一句:
03:08
if you want a comic滑稽 book to do well, make the librarians图书馆 the hero英雄. It always works作品 well.
72
173000
3000
如果你想让一部漫画书受欢迎,那就让图书馆员成为英雄人物。百试不爽。
03:11
(Laughter笑声)
73
176000
3000
(笑声)
03:14
(Applause掌声)
74
179000
2000
(掌声)
03:16
So the librarians图书馆 find out
75
181000
2000
那些图书馆员
03:18
and they get together一起 a special特别 solution, a chemical化学 solution called King's国王 Water,
76
183000
2000
研制出一种特殊的药水,这种化学药水叫君王之水。
03:20
that when mixed with 99 stones石头
77
185000
2000
当99颗宝石浸泡在药水里,
03:22
would be able能够 to save保存 all that culture文化 and history历史 in the books图书.
78
187000
3000
药水就能保存书籍中所记载的所有文化和历史。
03:25
But the Mongols蒙古人 get there first.
79
190000
2000
不幸的是,蒙古人抢先一步,
03:27
The books图书 and the solution get thrown抛出 in the Tigris底格里斯河 River.
80
192000
2000
把书籍和药水一起扔进了底格里斯河。
03:29
Some librarians图书馆 escape逃逸, and over the course课程 of days and weeks,
81
194000
3000
一些图书馆员逃走了,
03:32
they dip the stones石头 into the Tigris底格里斯河 and suck吮吸 up that collective集体 wisdom智慧
82
197000
3000
他们把宝石浸泡在底格里斯河里好几个星期,
03:35
that we all think is lost丢失 to civilization文明.
83
200000
2000
来吸取那些流失了的智慧财富。
03:37
Those stones石头 have been smuggled走私 as three prayer祷告 beads
84
202000
2000
那些宝石被做成三串念珠,每串有33颗宝石。
03:39
of 33 stones石头 each
85
204000
2000
这些宝石
03:41
through通过 Arabia阿拉伯 into Andalusia安达卢西亚 in Spain西班牙, where they're safe安全 for 200 years年份.
86
206000
3000
从阿拉伯被偷运到西班牙的安达路西亚,被保存在那里长达200年。
03:44
But in 1492, two important重要 things happen发生.
87
209000
3000
而到了1492年,两个重大历史事件发生了。
03:47
The first is the fall秋季 of Granada格拉纳达,
88
212000
2000
首先是欧洲最后一个
03:49
the last Muslim穆斯林 enclave飞地 in Europe欧洲.
89
214000
2000
穆斯林飞地格拉纳达的沦陷。
03:51
The second第二 is Columbus哥伦布 finally最后 gets得到 funded资助 to go to India印度, but he gets得到 lost丢失.
90
216000
3000
第二是哥伦布终于筹足了去印度的盘缠,但最后去错了地方。
03:54
(Laughter笑声)
91
219000
3000
(笑声)
03:57
So 33 of the stones石头 are smuggled走私
92
222000
2000
于是其中的33颗宝石
03:59
onto the Nina尼娜, the Pinta平塔 and the Santa圣诞老人 Maria玛丽亚
93
224000
2000
由尼尼亚号,平塔号和圣玛利亚号(哥伦布船队的其中三艘船)
04:01
and are spread传播 in the New World世界.
94
226000
2000
传到了新大陆。
04:03
Thirty-three三十三 go on the Silk Road to China中国, South Asia亚洲 and Southeast东南 Asia亚洲.
95
228000
2000
另外33颗经丝绸之路分散到了中国,南亚和东南亚。
04:05
And 33 are spread传播 between之间 Europe欧洲, the Middle中间 East and Africa非洲.
96
230000
3000
最后33颗散落在欧洲,中东和非洲之间的地区。
04:08
And now it's 2010, and there are 99 heroes英雄
97
233000
3000
到了2010年,99位
04:11
from 99 different不同 countries国家.
98
236000
2000
来自99个国家的英雄出现了。
04:13
Now it's very easy简单 to assume承担
99
238000
2000
我们很容易这样想
04:15
that those books图书, because they were from a library图书馆 called Bait al-HikmaAL-HIKMA, were Muslim穆斯林 books图书,
100
240000
3000
那些出自al-Hikma(智慧宫图书馆)的书籍,看上去像是专门给穆斯林读的。
04:18
but that's not the case案件 because the caliph哈里发 that built内置 that library图书馆,
101
243000
3000
其实不然。当时修建图书馆的国王
04:21
his name名称 was al-Ma'munAL-马穆 -- he was Harun哈伦 al-Rashid's拉希德的 son儿子.
102
246000
3000
名叫阿尔马蒙-他是阿尔拉希德的儿子。
04:24
He had told his advisers顾问, "Get me all the scholars学者
103
249000
2000
他对军师们说:“把所有的学者给我请来
04:26
to translate翻译 any book they can get their hands onto into Arabic阿拉伯,
104
251000
3000
让他们把所有能找到的书翻译成阿拉伯语,
04:29
and I will pay工资 them its weight重量 in gold."
105
254000
2000
我会给他们跟书一样重的黄金作为报酬。”
04:31
After a while, his advisers顾问 complained抱怨.
106
256000
2000
没过多久,军师们向他抱怨。
04:33
They said, "Your Highness高度, the scholars学者 are cheating作弊.
107
258000
2000
他们说:“陛下,那些学者作弊。
04:35
They're writing写作 in big handwriting手写 to take more gold."
108
260000
3000
他们故意把字写得很大,好换更多的金子。”
04:39
To which哪一个 he said, "Let them be, because what they're giving us
109
264000
2000
而他回答说:“随他们吧,我们能从他们那里
04:41
is worth价值 a lot more than what we're paying付款 them."
110
266000
2000
得到比黄金还值钱的东西。”
04:43
So the idea理念 of an open打开 architecture建筑, an open打开 knowledge知识,
111
268000
2000
这样,开放式建筑,开放的知识
04:45
is not new to my neck颈部 of the desert沙漠.
112
270000
3000
在我的国家里都不是什么新鲜事了。
04:48
The concept概念 centers中心 on something called the Noor努尔 stones石头.
113
273000
2000
故事主题围绕着被成为Noor的宝石。
04:50
Noor努尔 is Arabic阿拉伯 for light.
114
275000
2000
Noor是阿拉伯语“光明”的意思。
04:52
So these 99 stones石头, a few少数 kind of rules规则 in the game游戏:
115
277000
3000
这99颗宝石本身附有一些规则:
04:55
Number one, you don't choose选择 the stone; the stone chooses you.
116
280000
2000
第一,不是你选择宝石而是宝石选择你。
04:57
There's a King国王 Arthur亚瑟 element元件 to the storyline故事情节, okay.
117
282000
3000
这有点效仿了《亚瑟王》的故事情节。
05:00
Number two, all of The 99,
118
285000
2000
第二,当99位英雄
05:02
when they first get their stone, or their power功率, abuse滥用 it;
119
287000
3000
最初得到宝石所赐力量的时候,他们无一例外地
05:05
they use it for self-interest自我利益.
120
290000
2000
利用它来谋私利。
05:07
And there's a very strong强大 message信息 in there that when you start开始 abusing滥用 your stone,
121
292000
3000
这传达了一个很重要的信息:一旦你开始滥用宝石,
05:10
you get taken采取 advantage优点 of
122
295000
2000
那些想要利用你力量的人
05:12
by people who will exploit利用 your powers权力, okay.
123
297000
3000
就要设法操纵你了。
05:15
Number three, the 99 stones石头 all have within them
124
300000
3000
第三,99颗宝石都具备
05:18
a mechanism机制 that self-updates自我更新.
125
303000
2000
自我升级的能力。
05:20
Now there are two groups that exist存在 within the Muslim穆斯林 world世界.
126
305000
3000
穆斯林世界有两大派别。
05:23
Everybody每个人 believes相信 the Koran可兰经 is for all time and all place地点.
127
308000
2000
所有人都相信古兰经适用于全时全地。
05:25
Some believe that means手段 that the original原版的 interpretation解释
128
310000
2000
一部分人认为,这意味着几千年前人们对经文的解读
05:27
from a couple一对 thousand years年份 ago is what's relevant相应 today今天.
129
312000
3000
时至今日依然适用。
05:30
I don't belong属于 there.
130
315000
2000
我不属于这类人。
05:32
Then there's a group that believes相信 the Koran可兰经 is a living活的, breathing呼吸 document文件,
131
317000
3000
另外一部人相信古兰经是充满生命力的经著。
05:35
and I captured捕获 that idea理念 within these stones石头 that self-update自我更新.
132
320000
2000
这就是宝石拥有自我更新能力这个想法的由来。
05:37
Now the main主要 bad guy, RughalRughal,
133
322000
2000
故事中主要的反面人物,卢加尔(Rughal),
05:39
does not want these stones石头 to update更新,
134
324000
2000
不想让宝石更新升级。
05:41
so he's trying to get them to stop updating更新.
135
326000
2000
于是便想方设法阻止其更新。
05:43
He can't use the stones石头, but he can stop them.
136
328000
3000
他虽然不能使用宝石,但却能阻止宝石发挥力量。
05:46
And by stopping停止 them, he has more of a fascist法西斯 agenda议程,
137
331000
3000
通过阻止宝石的力量,他就能进行更多的独裁行动,
05:49
where he gets得到 some of The 99 to work for him --
138
334000
2000
他欺骗99位英雄中的一些人,让他们为他效力。
05:51
they're all wearing穿着 cookie-cutter千篇一律, same相同 color颜色 uniforms制服
139
336000
2000
他们都身着清一色的制服。
05:53
They're not allowed允许 to individually个别地 express表现 who they are and what they are.
140
338000
3000
他们不能私下透露自己的身份。
05:56
And he controls控制 them from the top最佳 down --
141
341000
2000
他亲自指挥他们。
05:58
whereas when they work for the other side, eventually终于,
142
343000
2000
然而当他们最终投奔了正义,
06:00
when they find out this is the wrong错误 person, they've他们已经 been manipulated操纵,
143
345000
2000
知道自己被操纵,给坏人做事之后,
06:02
they actually其实, each one has a different不同, colorful华美
144
347000
3000
他们都换上了不同颜色的
06:05
kind of dress连衣裙.
145
350000
2000
服装。
06:07
And the last point about the 99 Noor努尔 stones石头 is this.
146
352000
2000
关于99颗光明宝石的最后一条是
06:09
So The 99 work in teams球队 of three.
147
354000
3000
99位英雄分组行动,每组三人。
06:12
Why three? A couple一对 of reasons原因.
148
357000
2000
为什么三人一组?原因如下。
06:14
Number one, we have a thing within Islam伊斯兰教 that you don't leave离开 a boy男孩 and a girl女孩 alone单独 together一起,
149
359000
3000
第一,伊斯兰世界不允许孤男寡女单独相处,
06:17
because the third第三 person is temptation诱惑 or the devil魔鬼, right?
150
362000
3000
因为诱惑或者魔鬼可能会从中作梗,对吧。
06:20
I think that's there in all cultures文化, right?
151
365000
3000
这在所有文化里面都是如此,不是吗。
06:23
But this is not about religion宗教, it's not about proselytizing传教.
152
368000
2000
但这与宗教无关,也不是在灌输宗教。
06:25
There's this very strong强大 social社会 message信息
153
370000
2000
这其中蕴涵了很强烈的社会性质,
06:27
that needs需求 to get to kind of
154
372000
2000
这种性质
06:29
the deepest最深 crevices裂缝 of intolerance不耐症,
155
374000
2000
需要人们以宽容的态度对待。
06:31
and the only way to get there is to kind of play the game游戏.
156
376000
2000
要达到这个目的,我们就得行动起来。
06:33
And so this is the way I dealt处理 with it.
157
378000
2000
于是,我就这样给他们分组。
06:35
They work in teams球队 of three: two boys男孩 and a girl女孩, two girls女孩 and a boy男孩,
158
380000
2000
他们三人一组,要么两男一女,要么两女一男。
06:37
three boys男孩, three girls女孩, no problem问题.
159
382000
2000
要么三人都是男的,或都是女的,都行。
06:39

So "The 99" is technology技术; it's entertainment娱乐;
302
771000
2000
The 99体现了科技,娱乐,
13:08
it's design设计.
303
773000
2000
和精湛的设计。
13:10
But that's only half the story故事.
304
775000
3000
但是它还远远不止如此。
13:13
As the father父亲 of five sons儿子,
305
778000
2000
作为五个儿子父亲,
13:15
I worry担心 about who they're going to be using运用 as role角色 models楷模.
306
780000
2000
我很担心他们将来会把什么样的人当作偶像。
13:17
I worry担心 because all around me, even within my extended扩展 family家庭,
307
782000
3000
我担心,是因为,即使在我的大家庭里,
13:20
I see religion宗教 being存在 manipulated操纵.
308
785000
3000
我依然看到宗教为人所利用。
13:23
As a psychologist心理学家, I worry担心
309
788000
3000
作为一个心理学家,
13:26
for the world世界 in general一般,
310
791000
2000
我为这个世界担心,
13:28
but worry担心 about the perception知觉 of how people see themselves他们自己
311
793000
2000
担心在我所属地区中的人们
13:30
in my part部分 of the world世界.
312
795000
2000
如何看待他们自己。
13:32
Now, I'm a clinical临床 psychologist心理学家. I'm licensed领有牌照 in New York纽约 State.
313
797000
2000
我是个临床心理学家,在纽约州获得执照。
13:34
I trained熟练 at Bellevue贝尔维尤 Hospital醫院 Survivors幸存者 of Political政治 Torture拷打 Program程序,
314
799000
3000
我曾在表维医院对政治虐待的幸存者进行培训。
13:38
and I heard听说 one too many许多 stories故事 of people growing生长 up
315
803000
2000
我听到太多关于人们如何在成长过程中
13:40
to idolize偶像化 their leadership领导,
316
805000
2000
崇拜他们的领袖,
13:42
only to end结束 up being存在 tortured折磨 by their heroes英雄.
317
807000
2000
最终却被他们心目中的英雄所带入歧途。
13:44
And torture's折磨的 a terrible可怕 enough足够 thing as it is, but when it's doneDONE by your hero英雄,
318
809000
2000
误入歧途本身就够糟的,但是如果是被你的英雄误导所致,
13:46
that just breaks休息 you in so many许多 ways方法.
319
811000
3000
那会令你更加痛不欲生。
13:49
I left Bellevue贝尔维尤, went to business商业 school学校 and started开始 this.
320
814000
3000
我离开表维医院,转到商学院,并开始构思这部漫画。
13:54
Now, one of the things that I refer参考 to
321
819000
2000
我的灵感来源之一是
13:56
when I -- about the importance重要性 of this message信息 --
322
821000
2000
当我-漫画中心思想的重要性
13:58
is that I gave a lecture演讲 at the medical school学校 at Kuwait科威特 University大学,
323
823000
2000
我在科威特大学的医学院做了一次演讲-
14:00
where I lecture演讲 on the biological生物 basis基础 of behavior行为,
324
825000
3000
我讲了关于行为的生理基础-
14:03
and I gave the students学生们 two articles用品, one from The New York纽约 Times
325
828000
2000
还给学生们两篇文章,一篇来自纽约时报,
14:05
and one from New York纽约 magazine杂志.
326
830000
2000
另一篇来自纽约杂志。
14:07
And I took away the name名称 of the writer作家, the name名称 of the [unclear不明] -- everything was gone走了 except the facts事实.
327
832000
3000
我把作者的名字撕掉-只留下事实陈述。
14:10
And the first one was about a group called The Party派对 of God,
328
835000
2000
第一篇文章是关于一个叫做The Party of God的组织,
14:12
who wanted to ban禁止 Valentine's情人节 Day. Red was made制作 illegal非法.
329
837000
3000
他们想要废除情人节,认为红色是非法的。
14:15
Any boys男孩 and girls女孩 caught抓住 flirting调情
330
840000
2000
如果发现一个男孩和一个女孩在打情骂俏,
14:17
would get married已婚 off immediately立即, okay.
331
842000
2000
就要他们立刻结婚。
14:19
The second第二 one was about a woman女人 complaining抱怨的
332
844000
2000
第二篇文章关于一位妇女的抱怨。
14:21
because three minivans小型货车 with six bearded大胡子 men男人 pulled up
333
846000
2000
六个留着胡子的男人从三辆小面包车上下来
14:23
and started开始 interrogating询问 her on the spot
334
848000
2000
开始质问这个妇女
14:25
for talking to a man who wasn't related有关 to her.
335
850000
2000
为什么她和一个与她没有亲缘关系的男人说话。
14:27
And I asked the students学生们 in Kuwait科威特 where they thought these incidents事故 took place地点.
336
852000
3000
我让科威特的这些学生猜猜这些事件发生的地点。
14:30
The first one, they said Saudi沙特 Arabia阿拉伯. There was no debate辩论.
337
855000
3000
他们说第一个故事发生在沙特阿拉伯。没有人提出异议。
14:33
The second第二 one, they were actually其实 split分裂
338
858000
2000
关于第二个故事,他们一半人说是沙特
14:35
between之间 Saudi沙特 and Afghanistan阿富汗.
339
860000
2000
一半人说是阿富汗。
14:37
What blew自爆 their mind心神 was the first one took place地点 in India印度,
340
862000
3000
出乎他们意料的是,第一个故事实际上发生在印度,
14:40
it was the party派对 of a Hindu印度教 God.
341
865000
3000
那是一个信印度某位神灵的组织。
14:43
The second第二 one took place地点 in upstate北部 New York纽约.
342
868000
2000
第二个故事发生在纽约的北部地区。
14:45
It was an Orthodox正统 Jewish犹太 community社区.
343
870000
2000
那里有个东正犹太教社区。
14:47
But what breaks休息 my heart and what's alarming惊人
344
872000
3000
令我心痛并担忧的是
14:50
is that in those two interviews面试,
345
875000
2000
在这两则报道中,
14:52
the people around, who were interviewed采访 as well,
346
877000
2000
被采访的旁观者
14:54
refer参考 to that behavior行为 as Talibanization塔利班.
347
879000
3000
说这些行为像是塔立班组织才做得出的。
14:57
In other words, good Hindus印度教徒 and good Jews犹太人 don't act法案 this way.
348
882000
3000
换句话说,善良的印度人和犹太人不会做出这种事。
15:00
This is Islam's伊斯兰教的 influence影响 on Hinduism印度教 and Judaism犹太教.
349
885000
3000
这是伊斯兰教影响了印度教和犹太教。
15:03
But what do the students学生们 in Kuwait科威特 say? They said it's us --
350
888000
3000
而科威特的学生是怎么说的?他们说这是我们干的。
15:06
and this is dangerous危险.
351
891000
2000
这种想法是危险的。
15:08
It's dangerous危险 when a group self-identifies自我识别 itself本身
352
893000
2000
当一群人都认为自己是极端分子,
15:10
as extreme极端.
353
895000
2000
这是相当危险的。
15:13
This is one of my sons儿子, RayanRAYAN,
354
898000
2000
这是我的一个儿子Rayan,
15:15
who's谁是 a Scooby史酷比 Doo addict瘾君子.
355
900000
2000
他是个史酷比迷。
15:17
You can tell by the glasses眼镜 there.
356
902000
2000
你看他戴的眼镜就知道了。
15:19
He actually其实 called me a meddling插手 kid孩子 the other day.
357
904000
2000
他有一天还管我叫淘气小子。
15:21
(Laughter笑声)
358
906000
2000
(笑声)
15:23
But I borrow a lesson that I learned学到了 from him.
359
908000
3000
但是我从他身上学到了一个道理。
15:26
Last summer夏季 when we were in our home in New York纽约,
360
911000
2000
去年夏天我们在纽约的家里
15:28
he was out in the yard playing播放 in his playhouse剧场. And I was in my office办公室 working加工,
361
913000
3000
他在院子里玩他的玩具房子。而我正在书房里工作。
15:31
and he came来了 in, "Baba巴巴, I want you to come with me. I want my toy玩具."
362
916000
2000
他走进来,“爸爸,你跟我过来一下。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,Rehan,你先走。”他把他的史酷比落在他的房子里了。
15:35
I said, "Go away. I'm working加工. I'm busy."
364
920000
3000
我说,“你走吧。我在工作。我很忙。”
15:38
And what RayanRAYAN did then
365
923000
2000
结果Rayan
15:40
is he satSAT there, he tapped窃听 his foot脚丫子 on the floor地板, at three and a half,
366
925000
2000
他就坐在那里,用脚使劲瞪地,
15:42
and he looked看着 at me and he said, "Baba巴巴,
367
927000
2000
他看着我说,“爸爸,
15:44
I want you to come with me to my office办公室 in my house.
368
929000
3000
我要你到我家的书房去。
15:47
I have work to do."
369
932000
2000
我有工作要做。”
15:49
(Laughter笑声)
370
934000
2000
(笑声)
15:51
(Applause掌声)
371
936000
2000
(掌声)
15:53
RayanRAYAN reframed重新定义 the situation情况
372
938000
2000
Rayan改变了局面
15:55
and brought himself他自己 down to my level水平.
373
940000
2000
并把自己的身份降低到我的程度。
15:57
(Laughter笑声)
374
942000
3000
(笑声)
16:00
And with The 99, that is what we aim目标 to do.
375
945000
3000
这就是The 99的使命。
16:03
You know, I think that there's a big parallel平行
376
948000
2000
我认为把十字架扭曲
16:05
between之间 bending弯曲 the crucifix十字架 out of shape形状
377
950000
3000
和创造出十字章
16:08
and creating创建 swastikas纳粹党徽.
378
953000
2000
其实是一回事。
16:10
And when I see pictures图片 like this, of parents父母 or uncles叔叔
379
955000
3000
我看到这样一些照片:
16:13
who think it's cute可爱 to have a little child儿童
380
958000
2000
父母或叔舅让孩子拿着古兰经
16:15
holding保持 a Koran可兰经 and having a suicide自杀 bomber轰炸机 belt around them
381
960000
3000
还绑着几个自杀炸弹进行示威,
16:18
to protest抗议 something,
382
963000
2000
他们觉得孩子这样很可爱,
16:20
the hope希望 is by linking链接 enough足够 positive things
383
965000
3000
而我们希望让人们对古兰经有更多
16:23
to the Koran可兰经,
384
968000
2000
积极的认识,
16:25
that one day we can move移动 this child儿童
385
970000
3000
这样有一天我们能把这个孩子
16:28
from being存在 proud骄傲 in the way they're proud骄傲 there,
386
973000
3000
从为那身行头而得意
16:31
to that.
387
976000
3000
变成为这个造型而骄傲。
16:34
And I think --
388
979000
2000
我认为-
16:36
I think The 99
389
981000
2000
我相信The 99
16:38
can and will achieve实现 its mission任务.
390
983000
3000
能够完成它的使命。
16:42
As an undergrad本科生 at Tufts塔夫茨 University大学, we were giving away free自由 falafel沙拉三明治 one day
391
987000
3000
在塔夫斯大学的读本科的时候,我们有一天在免费分发鹰嘴豆饼,
16:45
and, you know, it was Middle中间 East Day or something.
392
990000
2000
因为当天是中东日。
16:47
And people came来了 up and picked采摘的 up
393
992000
2000
人们走过来
16:49
the culturally文化 resonant谐振 image图片 of the falafel沙拉三明治,
394
994000
3000
一看便明白是鹰嘴豆饼,
16:52
ate it and, you know, talked and left.
395
997000
2000
咬一口,寒暄几句,然后离开。
16:54
And no two people could disagree不同意 about what the word free自由 was
396
999000
2000
没有谁会误解“免费”和“鹰嘴豆饼”
16:56
and what the word falafel沙拉三明治 was, behind背后 us, "free自由 falafel沙拉三明治." You know.
397
1001000
2000
这两个词的意思。“免费鹰嘴豆饼”(英文里听起来像“释放法拉菲尔”)。
16:58
(Laughter笑声)
398
1003000
2000
(笑声)
17:00
Or so we thought,
399
1005000
2000
我们也没多想,
17:02
until直到 a woman女人 came来了 rushing across横过 the campus校园
400
1007000
2000
直到一位女士匆匆走过
17:04
and dropped下降 her bag on the floor地板, pointed up to the sign标志 and said,
401
1009000
2000
她把手袋往地上一扔,指着我们的牌子说:
17:06
"Who's谁是 falafel沙拉三明治?"
402
1011000
2000
“谁是法拉菲尔?”
17:08
(Laughter笑声)
403
1013000
3000
(众人大笑)
17:11
True真正 story故事.

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.
