what we wanted to show here as well that the migrants were in tier like then it's not something that you only can talk about but that you have and wants to you know so we show on this side we showed we have here in the opposition and that is one of the voice of the my concern here as well the wards of. the discussion in the german society with all the fears and. prejudice and already in the in the in the eighty's the ship is full and here we have a sense that it's fascinating. character to chose the current dorm the cathedral in cologne surrounded by minarets so representing the fear of a completely overwhelming that. movement in germany and that is four thousand nine hundred eighty six. despite islamophobia dating back decades the overall attitude towards foreigners in germany's is still inclusive in

very difficult. so you see we have all different kinds of things people from the region they are selling their products and. you know they work in the field steering that we can this is the ok show for them to to come and sell also to make some profit and people love to come here because the atmosphere is very special. going on and up to palestine we have been let's say there were times where we have been between five and ten women who are doing a lot of things in six years we need more they went to one hundred twenty events and here is the. hands. up. to. the side of.

money on a storage shed some money. is spent at. the difficulties maybe i'm faced growing up here gave me pause for thought. i'm beginning to realize that the journey of germany's arabs as a times been a painful one. how was it for you it was very difficult i think it started at that time already this picture of. people who are not. being fanatics like today also. what made it difficult for me was the environment and fear of my parents and trying to manipulate and influence me and at

a certain time to kick me out of the house. and. it was very heavy of want to go to children they have named me. first name and last name which was also a big problem for my parents they wanted them to be have to german last name at least and they asked me all the time why do you choose arabic names they have names they live in germany. they should consider being germans it makes it not easy for them as well sometimes in school or even if they apply for jobs so. they can have a disadvantage of course with things. sadder mokhtar came to germany in one nine hundred eighty to train as a psychotherapist his motives father and gabby's ex-husband. you saw miners or

the number of senators say it's all very well to hear from the secretary of defense and the secretary of state but they really want to hear about the circumstances surrounding the murder of jamal khashoggi and the involvement of the crown prince of saudi arabia mohammed been someone in that killing so there is still questions coming from senators they welcome the fact that they will get this briefing but that's the other question too is the briefing going to be about the murder of democracy audrey or is indeed the briefing going to be about why sanctions should not be imposed on saudi arabia ukraine's parliament has backed president petro poroshenko decision to impose martial law for thirty days after a flare up of tensions with russia on sunday russian forces opened fire on and seized three ukrainian boats off the coast of crimea. u.s. can make a general motors is shutting down five manufacturing plants across north america

a veil upon its core structure and how it was formed billions of years ago those were the headlines now it's back to the german stage and that's what i thought. the story of gabby said. has made me more curious i want to know if other arab german families have faced similar pressures and challenges. of work the point of. view her citing of. all the. website. yesterday a lot of years a friend of his and he came to germany as a business student from syria nearly six decades ago. jani therapy it is slimy among them who are now in the months ahead the you are muslim all of this

but the young man on american thought so no. fear as part of the core were a little more i ask about how he raised his children. to one yani of chloral there are four hundred mostly when i was young we've been little thought was that the really might be our for how be it if. you have a flock. to mark his fiftieth year in germany yes it all or be both a four thousand euro advertisement in local newspapers thanking germany for welcoming him five decades earlier and for granting him citizenship i miss out on the shore were enormous so visuals of money a government. sometimes i feel each one of the half a million arabs who came to germany before us has had a different experience and no just different feelings towards their adopted

homeland. since the exodus from syria and iraq in particular the arab population in germany has tripled. it's very difficult for us to go back to our countries because our people there they haven't been this this long way with us in the monsoon was born to egyptian and lebanese parents and came here after marrying a german forty five years ago she grew up speaking french and is shy to express herself an arabic always kept the contact with with my culture with my people so they feel very it is and always said they say immediately i'm german but my mother comes from it's a very proud of it my goal was always to see the good show the good side of the arab so that i accept that the music the literature the good mind of those bitterly too we have so many nice things so why only show those those ugly things hindu

believes the hijab does not belong in germany although i'm not pious i disagree with her my mother is muslim and when i saw my mother sleeping for example in my place and i have friend and my place and they see her his job somehow like when. i cover her because this is how she wants to be it's her right to be as she liked in egypt you would see one woman that i swear junes and the next sister with the hijab i don't thank you very in their country they do what they want it's here which is why because the eye of the other the eye of the other scare me i say that we're stuck putting us they would say see how they're like this and that's not cool i don't like this and i don't want them to look at this this like. i cannot teach the people how to be smart if they want to put all of us in one focus and once through

time it's their proppants not mine i'm different everyone is different she wants to go to be with the value of what so think about the man who has just said you know the man hole like this or still think you know those that if it will go and for this and that nothing and those papers but don't think me. on my way to the train station i find that my taxi driver is iraq. chamar has lived in germany for thirty years he reluctantly agrees to an interview but only if we don't show his face it's not up to me to form an inordinate and lacking that when one is seen to be stupid nothing like that peaceful intentions. i don't see any but i can understand the it could be that. the dolphins and the twelfth yeah in the other kind james along with his senate seat and no one had thought out. and it

come up with a lot of black and a million fine young man. on a state level to the no one song who acts out of need. and so what about insanity or bad guys and i look can see you know i don't think that nothing's. wrong that when i do most of the play out on that side. for them if i can log on. to that the senate and house and. germany now has over one point five million arabs living in it sixteen federal states that's close to two percent of their population not a lot but enough to. you notice. the older generation of immigrants appear to have assimilated. their children for the most part also assimilate but those who have

and are suffering. many germans seem to be on the fence about how they feel about this. indignity nine. hours here and i have a feeling that's and i will for bush to move us and that's in the moment as monday mentioned it's anscombe already public opinion then once it. is islamic should be able to an iran on someone's it and its disputed leader assize to mention that. the took it in fits and has mostly just last month stay in and done proceed at last into santas spicy earth and a slimy sea of all nations in islam in the sun and here decides to try to do that again on its own turkish. but awfully curious this is snitched stealing their faith or feather out and back on even my sins they call our lights decision until you

niggers or they get in fights. mostly in the sweat on the litigant and it's only. from this community of on off on so with d. that i feel it's emitted really gone and i ignore collective it into ted often a president who did of tbone. germany's most prominent citizen of our heritage works for one of germany's largest t.v. networks born here to iraq and physicians don't you. is a national celebrity and was voted germany's journalist of the year in two thousand and sixteen. i've said if i'm the fun da vita's for to live eason to might be asked to meet me god zones for i go on wednesday by dint of and if they can do nothing and present it and if that that much about him or even they might be might my beamish on the management of one in five don't know about which does the how much as it climbed valvo is just voiced about us my mind would have

found that it was of course. there was a as a host gunderson us one but we had to see him on the scope often by this as not really a mess of items on certain vasta were no i mean if one owns it had to him course on guns and kind of this community home school should site did this community all my contacts. set if bynum's i deem it in focus been. successful in mention a me a on and on and mine up has worn on and on my hotel room. i sleep on the ding so extreme that fires don't you know made headlines when she responded to racist hate mail by correcting the german grammar in the letter and posting it on facebook as a kind of the insides of them so obvious in the entire time harbor a scintillation of my sleeve a political moment but all made up by the man answered the most and i visit the

worst sign in the mass destruction bang and thus make some. sort unless by money biased like this in that zone that spares order my human for the two or one voted off i am on field work to. divide it into office. really spite it's been even type it's been it's been of all if it's just blue does to fleece. tom. don't you lives in a multicultural neighborhood with many established arab citizens most of whom have built successful lives but now many germans associate them with the new refugees. jetstar to flourish for us. undercooked oxy vavle.

disc they did it order. yeah under guns even the shims or dumb and vic it safe by being able to make about zones for shift to happen i know of woodcuts ago fifteen of the fifth thing a mom owns a miss cup what i love. that on the top i'm yet to get stiffed is a disco cup put on my bus home given the mix of torn us of so few votes in the election come on gus us not to really fast wasting while the stuff me. the old immigrant turning against the new refugees. is right it shouldn't be happening but it is. i've come to dresden in the former east germany for a meeting with anti-racist activists. it's my first time in this part of the country i expected the grey side city but found something

very different dresden was a center of german culture. germany's revolutionary priest martin luther came from this part of germany he was the founder of protestantism which began as a protest movement for social equality my refugee solidarity meeting is in the technical school of the university of dresden. and what is the first arabic and newspaper in germany it's for the arabic speakers here the newcomers and settled also but we have a lot of followers on facebook why you have fifty thousand people and how fast. there is no r.c. place right now for us i mean we are

a group of syrian and arabs so we don't speak unfortunately these activists are well intentioned but dealing with arab refugees is as new to them as dealing with german activists is for me on one side there was one of these stupid questions which came up always in the newspapers begin to discussions how much money does a refugee get already refugee richard gets more money. than hartsfield. that it's person hurts for receivers are welfare recipients they give their claims that the german government spends more money on a refugee than on a poor german the fact is refugees and hurts for recipients both get.
