muslims are traditionally encouraged to help those in distress often by doing good deeds discreetly and unobtrusively. but in the 1980s in the face of disasters and conflicts involving muslim communities in many parts of the world islamic charities began to go public with their projects. since then they've distributed many billions of dollars in aid worldwide donations
10:18 am
by governments organizations and private individuals to refugee camps in turkey. to protect the civilian population in syria and provide direct aid. islamic aid organizations are now an integral part of relief work worldwide. the n.g.o.s relief was founded in the u.k. in 1984 since then it's grown become more professional and is active across europe the french chapter islamic relief france or as i have founded in 1991 it has an annual operating budget of 46000000 euros and unlike many other such organizations it publishes its bad. and shaves to quell any rumors about juby
10:19 am
a slinks to powerful proponents of islamic fundamentalism and islamist terror this allows the s i f n it 600 employees to provide assistance in over 30 countries. where an islamic school in bamako mali. in. here time seems to have stood still schools like this were founded in the 14th century when islam spread and its message was taught by muslim nomads. these schools still exist and to this day they remain outside the state's control.
10:20 am
al-hassan is being a bit of a sleepy head this morning but he has to get up at 5 am he prays it's a frugal breakfast consisting of tried dates and then brushes his teeth. of. the. aisle has son bought is 11 years old his family sent him to this religious school 3 years ago. but. now has son goes home just twice a year the rest of the time he's cared for by diablo his quranic teacher who's good reputation extends well beyond the borders of the mali and capital. the other was on. the way out good luck i
10:21 am
was raised this way as were our parents and our parents parents there was a remark i mean we were all brought up this way. older we raised the children too. teach them the koran and we take care of them look after their health their clothing and their behavior but we also give them another 3 times that one so they can relax they will watch even now but it will find your fault. koran schools are becoming increasingly popular in mali there are now of the 6000 instructors and roughly 150000 pupils. has a son was sent here because his parents could no longer provide for him and a qur'anic teacher may not turn any child away i forgot about providing for a child is difficult at 1st i had big financial problems i even had to sell my
10:22 am
radio to pay for food and yeah they were going to i don't know how the local people found out but they asked for help on my behalf and i think if people want their children to learn the koran properly they need to support the koran teachers or i'm going to walk out of whatever. the pupils of the qur'an school known here as the taliban is live on the fringes of mali in society. they come from the slums where they have little to eat and are often mistreated. some of them are forced to beg to survive children have no rights here. in mali half the population live below the poverty line.
10:23 am
and science has been active here since 2003 and mainly focuses on 2 issues often mentioned in the qur'an access to clean drinking water and chong. our protection. last visit when you intervene in a qur'anic school which has functioned for years and years while being excluded from society is not easily made the qur'anic masters mistrust external partners. we are not subject to a classic framework imposed by big donors who tell you that the 3 years will work on this issue and after 3 years going to finance it anymore if 20 years i have goes into a zone it can commit to staying a long time if you trust takes time thanks to 2000000 euro annual budget for marley they were able to start a pilot project here to better the people's living conditions. are you ok bring him about a rope a good heads the project do you remember the calabash school the one that's having
10:24 am
the building work down yes can we please return there the school having worked yes that's it we. are all back good has been doing i'd work for 7 years for the last 3 she's lived in bamako. the young frenchwoman isn't muslim yet she's allowed to enter the qur'an school that's because the organization she works for the sie if is respected here. banned because she respects muslim customs. why do you put on a headscarf we're going to qur'anic school where there are quranic masters. inside the schools the women are veiled. so it's simply out of respect for the place we're going and for the people we're seeing. here it's a personal initiative in it. and that's the
10:25 am
really low road wants to inspect the renovation work at the school where al-hassan studies and where his qur'an mastodon who teaches. will follow you. is that so that's the cess pit it's the cesspit for the latrines. finally the taliban is the peoples of the quranic school getting toilets running water and a roof over their heads that's not in danger of collapsing. i'll go do a double swinging door to pass through easier easily. ok ok so you put the sheet metal here it's coming along. the classrooms are located above the sleeping area the construction work is a confidence building measure it took a year for the teachers to accept assayas involvement look a lot of n.g.o.s have come here made contact with people tried to register the
10:26 am
children at the schools ago made promises and then never came back and as a result it's true that when we arrived we had a lot of work to do and had to get results very quickly of saying we are doing what we promised. in just one month this will all look as good as new yet prayers won't be held in our her son's school the s i f doesn't commit proselytising because the in geo adheres to the code of conduct of the international red cross here the main goal is child protection in the world and her son and his 210 schoolmates learn to read and write in french. but as we do solve a very deceptive lecture. although bambara is more widely spoken french is molly's official language so it's essential for these children's futures that they learn it it's a new school subject introduced by sie if the the teacher tells the children about
10:27 am
the sounds produced by certain peers as letters by lineal descent let. silly. said that us rule is silly. and is silly. therefore a little bit not. well. you know what but you know. what i say if it does it got to do. so clumsy the qur'an teacher and his colleagues have asked for these french courses so their pupils will later have a better chance of finding work he's learning right along with them. early out there lead off. or left directable so it's not always easy because it's a place to learn the koran so initially it wasn't suitable for that so. sometimes there was a reluctance on the part of the pupils parents who said no i'm bringing my child
10:28 am
here just so that he can learn the current condition after talking to the parents and explaining the reason behind it which is to increase the employee ability of the youngsters and give them access to basic rights to hear which is in danger without knowing french. it's access to right understanding them and your duty to else has to become a responsible citizen you have to learn this language it's necessary to protect yourself and to integrate in society. to do so by helping the pupils to a brighter future is a way of tackling the poverty that often provides a breeding ground for all true radical movements in a country in which armed islamist groups spread terror and violence quranic schools remain highly controversial most western aid organizations refuse to have anything to do with them so it's i have surveyed work in mali is a delicate balancing act one that's inspired by islam but transcends religious boundaries yet.
10:29 am
ronnie brown is a former president of medicine here. and a coward we've worked with them for years just like with other religious organizations forward. even when the communication with these organizations wasn't always easy. in general there's always a bit of mistrust between secular and religious organization this is not just islamic ones whether it be due to the whole truth differences or simply because many people are mistrustful of religious ideology. supposedly your new shows your video with you. for a long time they had to fight for recognition but many religious organizations are now respected as aid organizations our story continues in paris france on this day it's icy cold in the french capital another place where a sigh if is active. and something like you know you got it we've
10:30 am
got issues niger and 3 fellow volunteers donate their time. and. every other week for the last 2 years that they've spent their free hours helping the homeless. to the edge of his people. don't go so time of departure a quarter to 8 the callsign emergency social services have spotted some homeless people out on the streets the teen sets off. is that oh yeah she's here she's sleeping. i'm ok here tonight no it's not ok here yes i'm 5 not yet and nearly a well acquainted now is 62 and has been living on the street for years. what you got it for you ok in the cold. where did you sleep yesterday on the bench are you going to come tonight it's minus 7 degrees celsius in this suburb of paris
10:31 am
this that's a cover up your ears way way way that is not covered yet. shall we call and see if there's a hotel nearby. natur is a muslim who helps out of religious conviction but that's not the only reason you have nothing left for women tonight. by she abhors the poverty in her country nothing for women norman there's nothing tonight nothing for tonight that's right. i've got a 3 star hotel in central paris or a low budget hotel a low budget. and call them it shouldn't be too expensive. you can see that in terms of reception facilities shelter there is a complete shortage unfortunately we've called organisations inveighing when they say they have nothing to offer what do you do to try to find an urgent solution amongst ourselves and sometimes it's true that amongst the volunteers we organize a kiddie in order to offer a night to someone but she's not aware of the temperature outside. tonight aneli
10:32 am
will sleep in a warm bed so that the a.s.i.f. offers help to everyone regardless of religion also szell status. that dark colored parka opposite the square. this is it right yes. do you need anything. yet people are worried about you and have called 115. the phone number of a car he doesn't want to leave his camp with the help of volunteers cares for more than 1300 homeless people in the paris metropolitan area every winter. you have everything you need to cover yourself up it's going to be cold tonight. now john has been a lawyer for the last 15 years and a volunteer since her youth but she donates more than her time to those in need what's unique to islamic i'd often eyes ations is the way they're financed through
10:33 am
there's a cot this account is a mandatory yearly contribution and one of the 5 pillars of islam the amount to be paid can be calculated on the website of most islamic idled and eyes ations if you have several bank accounts and take the total of your mortgage your savings account and your current accounts who are also everything you have life insurance pension etc then you take the total and multiply it by 2.5 percent today as part of the cat i pay around $5000.00 euros per year. this is a car that is meant to help the needy in her local area her country or anywhere in the world it's a religious judy for all practicing muslims. to sample is just as important as praying or ramadan the orcas never do so it doesn't make sense not to do that as we are all indebted to the cat in one way or another that is
10:34 am
a go because no matter what your revenue from the moment you have a minimum amount of money in your bank account you must pay back a part of all of us in $30.00. that means that the yearly donations to as i have are on average 2 and a half times as high as those to the french red cross few realize that even though some 25000000 muslims live in europe says theologian tarik and in mom in bordeaux. the door is a paradox is a religion one stone nation is to be discreet visible but not ostentatious. the more discreet the donation the more it's worth in god's eyes because it results from modesty. however i think it should be shown openly we should burn our lies the good set an example and move away from this image of islam that only
10:35 am
demands laws if. they did the what. they call. it what. not everyone is discreet about how they help others in alice name. abdul rahman kaiser is german and before he converted to islam was known as jol for him charity is his life's work and god's command. abdurahman also helps the homeless in dissolute off though his assistance differs slightly to that offered by established n.g.o.s like s. i have his organization and international is relatively new he found edition 2012 but it's already established
10:36 am
a network of donors whom he keeps well informed about its activities. just about. the oven him we always take a camera team with us because that's our motto and so our international slogan is see where your donation goes we show donors precisely what happens with their money on the one hand it's proof of how the donations are used and on the other hand it provides motivation to continue. and son has. 120000 followers on facebook and it's also active on you tube and instagram and its strengths are its transparency and quick reaction times everything happens over social media. 2 to 3 hours a day answering what's out messages but that's a lot of work and i have 2 cell phones and calls on top of that 1st and then
10:37 am
facebook instagram twitter everywhere. lots of people ask us questions. and abdurahman always answers he's boyd by his faith what he is and international it's always and everywhere the poorest of the shoes are all new brand name models abdulrahman says it's a way of restoring homes people's dignity. that's their no boy which you give. up his projects are unusual and he doesn't seek the cooperation of other social services and cite international provides aid irrespective of religion but also without having fully assess the community's needs. the. people in the end salo go on this back
10:38 am
a faceless. in islam. it was just one islam it's normal that you don't depict living beings or ones that have a soft one and so for example a hello kitty or the teletubbies don't really exist so you can depict there. is a kitty cat person or an animal is real so there are only shown without a face. without eyes. because it was all of. this little detail aside. one of a fundamentalist interpretation of islam is openly on display in disorder in a city. of war. on which. is not. as i said innocent option which. was why.
10:39 am
don't want to feel this way so much also the opposite because as a police force i would have thought abdul rahman imposes strict rules which he politely mixes with behavioral codes from the modern world faith without scruples that applies to him as well as his team of 50 volunteers into sort all. they had digital natives even those who were fully valves are in tune with the times. a dozen volunteers take care of the videos that are posted on you tube facebook and twitter using the latest technology and equipment. really try you'll find there is no need. in this playing field is no lives. this is the noise. this is the latest somalia documentary we've played it into the machine. this you should see if
10:40 am
you like the scenes if it's too much or if i should take something else. blush it is all the official word for the song is good in any case i like it to be emotional that's michael jackson isn't it so sweet as x. and. this is the. to me a song about peace accompanies an h.d. video edited like a video clip art i had. that's for this dish for me that's the best scene of all. comes and i tickle him. it's a fabulous is a really emotional this is something this film was made by a professional who'd been headhunted from a major broadcaster. just the leave that didn't. look so candid so authentic. and this authenticity is meant to touch the hearts of
10:41 am
young muslims. this whole 40. 4. just so you want to superimpose the text the whole settlement laughs when we help says it all off and it does you yeah the whole settlement laughs when we help . that's where a tickle him we don't just how we touch hearts. stop it's all about image even if his fundamentalism forbids the depiction of living beings when it comes to advertising it's essential the 1st shot i'll leave this here you know what to do please finish it you have one day ok. through pragmatism efficiency and control as well as social media marketing and saw is able to collect monetary and material donations. the organization primarily helps those who are
10:42 am
most at risk muslims in war zones in dusseldorf 6 containers a packed with goods distant for a single country. that doesn't get other stuff this is all going to syria. it's all medication winter boots winter jackets baby formula electric hospital bed as wheelchairs. canes medical devices for hospitals. e.k.g. machines that's an ultrasound machine for births are so good for. the board. and size because mission is in syria close to 250 fallen tears help to operate hospitals 5 schools and an orphanage. but the city wants which a lot of this has just arrived for interim storage after everything's been sorted it'll go by truck to antwerp and from antwerp to mayor seen in turkey. you go then
10:43 am
from there see into the syrian border and then we'll come and take delivery at the border in the middle income is the goods all come from germany it's really ok they're mostly purchased with money donated by muslims but some are also donated by hospital the very same day these 40 tons of medical equipment including a cent on their way regardless of the dangers involved and the jihadists they may encounter and some helps. not everyone approves of this assistance in early 2017 and so i hit the headlines when rising bundesliga star and it's been her tierra transferred his account to the aid organization even accompanied abdul rahman on his travels until his soccer club
10:44 am
darmstadt 98 dropped him. german authorities assert that international is tightly interwoven with the salafist movement the office for the protection of the constitution suspects and self-supporting groups close to al qaida in syria and most recently of supporting her house in the gaza strip. offices have been searched and computers and papers seized but german authorities have found it hard to draw a line between militant islam and supporting terrorism so abdul rahman takes advantage of this ambiguity he mixes religious codes with the social ones used by youths on the outskirts of the city where he grew up. should i show you some photos who look you know that is that is that. that's me. that's bob that's proper when i was 20 years old.
10:45 am
is this that. it's proper to. the us as a child and you know this is us is. or gramma. volume marriage became the father of 2 abdul rahman was an angry young man at 16 he converted to islam at 20 he performed a rap that praised being against the system. under the banner of martin. should i make some sage tea. for those that's proper to posit because they see. those as papa. or. he even achieved a bit of fame as a mouthpiece for anti establishment rebels. cause all the
10:46 am
work that's property it's all papa. as a rabbi in the whole song. says he sang the praises of petty crime at least his anger at injustice. says he was a rebel who hung around with the wrong crowd. he says becoming more deeply immersed in islam changed everything. on this time i don't pray i drink i call i smoke weed but all this time when you call in the city and you have a sticker here america flag i make talk of you and maybe i clap on you. we we was very radical you were in our head because we have so much hate about the situation in palestine on this time we have so much anger but. then
10:47 am
i start to practice islam on this hate to go out of me. the target isn't interested in that but that's good. it's but i'm glad i got me out of that scene a long list of oswald i have to 8 months in jail abdulrahman found a new release for his suppression fighting for humanity. is telling me i could make a melody for you to publish oh you. call him meryl show you. abdulrahman slide has gone from one extreme to the other. back in france natur is helping others both privately and professionally but the assistance this lawyer office is completely different. here. she is now being admitted to the prestigious
10:48 am
paris bar where she's known as metra. solidarity has always played a role in her life her parents came to france from morocco in the 1970 s. a mother raised 7 children her father worked as a laborer. that has 3. i'm very happy today papa says i would never have thought i'd see my daughter in law as robes. so i'm very happy. that. love and modest pride. from you whatever several requests i thought of it as a question. good for me not just commitment goes beyond solidarity in the boundaries of islam it's part of her calling. ask yourself the fundamental source when you work in the field of social services because what if you realize that after a while have
10:49 am
a whatever the association i work for you face a brick wall once the people you wish to help the so-called find themselves in custody. so that i'm themselves escorted back to detention centers so we're told find themselves isolated if if to all of his from the being a lawyer allows you to open doors the doors of the police station the doors of the detention centers to the doors of the investigating judges and and there you really can't help people in concrete terms. not yet agreed to let us film her because of her. this is about more than just islamic humanitarian aid niger and her family stand for millions of other french muslims who are tired of islamic being equated with islamist. and. everything that comes from the muslim world is viewed in a negative light as everything that comes from the middle east from islam is by
10:50 am
nature suspect. it's the logic of identity what's foreign is generally always suspicious of. it gets eclipsed the shock when differing perceptions and ignorance makes of these in your. view simple cartoonists but islam is also a religion of countries which were colonized and subject a driving force in the fight against the colonizers. sort of abuse of the little to good and you know the broadest and that's why for some the idea that islam is hostile to the west still persists so. this is. the dilemma whether we're reticent or go on the offensive we always suspect. it's a paradox so. if we're too discreet we must have something to hide and if we're
10:51 am
hiding something we must be up to no good which isn't true yet if we try to get our message across we're pushy boastful and provocative. in dusseldorf abdulrahman uses provocation to generate sales. so i can. i'm sorry international has taken inspiration from britain's charity shops. though in shop they sell arms up brand name clothing. the pieces and made by syrian refugees and the proceeds distributed to other migrants. that's what follows xuzhou 1st this is produced by syrian refugees in turkey it provides work for syrian refugees in turkey but we also have things made by syrian refugees in germany. tested we don't want to neglect our homeland. and this is what syrian refugees in germany produce traditional commies. abdulrahman says the shop is
10:52 am
completely islamic qur'an to distribute it here for free and this children's book is titled all children a muslim zz. the message is clear here in the urban outskirts things revolve as much on clothes as around politics. abdurahman pays no heed to the notion that humanitarian organizations should be neutral for him what's important is that he delivers. a message system a good wanted our message is always against oppression and that people should be free. and one major personalities like malcolm x. or heir to one transport that then we advertise that on a jacket or a t. shirt or something. to show us we're also people who tackle oppression just as boldly or topical for that's our message or as often falls on message pref aliar
10:53 am
she is a sociologist and philosopher. what he did is shows. the reality is that muslim humanitarian work furnishes a response so you might call it an anti jihadist adventure an anti terrorist radicality. that means staging your life as a kind of positive muslim hero who's going to change the world. he can be radical and absolutely muslim that's why you can be a bit frightened by the discourse that's a bit fundamentalist but at the same time it's absolutely anti terror. arrest as anti terrorist as it wants to be radical because it aims to get to the roots of islam muslim charity included this is the mash-up many deadly looks. in ghana faith is part of the country's national identity 98 percent of the
10:54 am
population practice a religion 3 quarters of them are christians evangelical organizations a booming especially in the capital acra. posters plastered around the city advertise the services of popular preaches. abdulrahman is also continuing his religious mission here on the outskirts of his aid organization has built a small a mosque the land was donated by a v.i.p. here who in all modesty calls himself the king. you know we have 70 percent muslim in this community. and we don't have single mothers did. in the whole community. the single was just most aggressive what stresses are the. cold small and for how are we have to do
10:55 am
to have to travel from here to my dinner from here to a shelter. to this is why i decided. to lose these loose. before there was you do. even. if all the jews all would come down and lose the all police. force. here. i'm sorry building a mosque is one way to compete with the evangelical expansion drive. it's a powerful symbol of the rights of muslims. the project cost $11000.00 euros but raising the funds proved no problem. someone tell us the situation then we explained the situation to the muslims in germany they. don't donate for the mosque even for
10:56 am
muslim there is. this law that your reward for building a mosque is to have a palace the highest reward according to the big cross is code of conduct that does not qualify as humanitarian aid but abdul rahman remains undeterred. i do see any if you know if you want to see is. not it's a goal of and you all did everything what. twice or what folk need. and false as religious people we're helping religion too because we believe that their religion is an important part of your heart if you don't.
10:57 am
have this then. it's easier to go the wrong way. drummond says he plays with an open hand and publicizes everything he does. not just on the other hand has opted for discretion. their ideas of what i eat in our lives name means a very different. and alan has many other helpers some are more radical and place greater emphasis on their islamic identity others are less strict analysts proselytizing. but no matter how different they are and whatever parts i may take muslims have an increasingly important place in international relief efforts.

ready from foreigners will serve as organizers for the faith based organizations are essential ready. they provide most of the aid that the syrians are under bombardment and under the conditions we all know about so desperately need. i don't know why i would condemn that. as its religion or its community actions it's worthy of respect but for me it's not primarily a humanitarian point of the game and. it's hard work done by. saving the whole means around the dominican republic. the sensitive ecosystem is under threat from the tourism bahrain mental pollution. conservation project aims to save the delicate coral because the reefs are an
