i'm not gonna let it. go i'm not trying to prop up and then spread all over the country. virtually all terrorists today are muslim do we have the right to make such provocative statements then do muslim schools have the right to exist. in defined new york city. wealthy british style. markets why not scandal. find out what's really happening to the global economy in the kinds of reports on our t.v. hungry for the full story we've got it first hand the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers on.

more news today violence. these are the images. from the streets of canada. today. from our studios in the heart of moscow this is our own thomas and we're glad to have you with us i had. a dream lucky immigrants who when a chance of a new life in the u.s. find the grass isn't always greener when they find poverty and unemployment in the land of the free with no government support of any educated immigrants say they

find themselves in a worse living conditions in their home. the wife of the alleged russian arms trade faces interrogation ahead of her husband's trial she claims she was detained along with her children and question for. customs officials in new york. billions of u.s. reconstruction dollars flooding into iraq some families are still left on the rubbish heap of sectarian violence has forced from their homes to the only safe place they could find. those were the headlines up next is a special report on the difficulties facing the muslim community in new york. brooklyn truly is a place that represents the world community. the

opportunity to teach arabic to students here in brooklyn i think is an opportunity that we we shouldn't we shouldn't miss. and so when people made statements that would truly discriminatory of course of pain me and said me. certain feel mongering groups the play of the disco all would be a religious school which is a public school in america it could never be and it will not be these a situations with the strace fold so phobic and racist these outlets and groups should be ashamed of themselves we have the word in your dish a shunt i believe there is an apology owed to debbie i'm obsessive i've known her for almost twenty years and i can say that she has been a force of openness and cross cultural conversation believe me whenever there's a conference being organized to promote understanding between groups arabs and jews

for example she isn't fall somehow either as the founder of or is an act the one just. after at my forced resignation and really secluded myself from the public i knew that if i publicly spoke or indulge any information of what happened that it would have been danger and the schools. are on the telly the early to reinstate f.b.i. metasearch as principal of the council on international have. it. i support this school because this school is a key. to understanding of the raid into the foot tapestry which makes up this great city and even though the world has many conflicts and i'm assigned it i'm pro israel let me be clear about it. those are my commitments lifelong commitment but if the solution to the problem is to arise i believe will arise from new york

if the solution to those issues that destroy the world and peoples that should fight then are much more in common then then then distinctions then i believe that the prophet the solicits will come from schools like this one is introduced to homo . no way could it be only rather like a foreign port would have to play alone on elected officials to act as leaders not to put under to racism or bigotry but to stand by what. i believe the old city needs to be careful not to move down the conservative element of the brands german village and understand the spirit help the department of education is going to let a tabloid newspaper influence policy is beyond me and it's atrocious and it's unacceptable if this is the deal only school why are they standing behind the mayor where is a. gray. area.

why overcrowding is the arabic language such a threat. we found ourselves in the crossfire of a media war against dilute your brand academy because we produced t. shirts a few years ago the boy the slogan intifada n.y.c. . my name is money. i'm funding director of arab women active in the arts and media. the educational programs that we provide for young women are not your average kind of program that you would see for us we engage in media production. and we start from their backyards. the mission of a win is to. basically encourage leadership among young women of color and community organizing with the focus being on empowerment through the

media. once i was gone from school and then when i stepped inside the bus some old guy was sitting on his chair and he started cursing me and telling me all your tears you want to get rave go back to your country and he just comes out and always says go back to your country you sound the latin would you say man but that doesn't make me feel like i have to take my their life because it's part of my religion then i'm going to change what i wear because other people hate what i wear and my be my religion what does that have to be that. you know they are. unsure. when the whole thing with the teacher blew up in august we were in the middle of our summer program. we got together with several other groups and formed the coalition communities in support of the senator brown international.

intifada and why see it's not a call for a violent uprising in the big apple like the new york post stated it's actually a call for and power moment. it's also not of respect to the palestinian resistance against an illegal apartheid occupation people don't understand the word or they don't understand the palestinian struggle that's fine that's an opportunity for discussion and learning one of the videos that the girls have which is silence by the media and it really represents how drastically our over king after the breaking of the news about our intifada t. shirts on film disrespect been discriminated against. because the terrorist because that's a full state. is good why the night and if it did the media you know that thank you so much done justice he should have the word intifada written on them so what it all comes down to is who gets to define the father provocative where. do we

have a right to use it yes. you know do i have regrets yes what i regret is that we can't even have a discussion about the meaning of the word i regret that we had to play into the story in this way and that it had to turn out this way as soon as the controversy head. hundreds of emails and continue even now receiving emails asking for t. shirts and we haven't gotten around to replying to any of them we weren't set up to deal with you know hundreds of demands for t. shirts and then there were also people who set up their own intifada n.y.c. websites and selling into fight and i see teddy bears and. you know doggy coats and the random as things it's really interesting. couple of stops from ground zero in new york city's first all arabic school is

opening its opening today in the borough of brooklyn critics though and there are many say that it could become a city funded breeding ground for extremists on the first day of school we put together a welcome table we engaged in a lot of activities to show the parents that we were really welcoming them from the community at least they saw a friendly face there and somebody who was smiling at them and had a big sign saying welcome and then when we all went home and watched our televisions that night the publicist who was not good at all. we need more arabic speaking people because we're in a war with the arabic speaking world right now or at least members of it and you know it's like in world war two we. should have more people that speak german but what this class is from what i understand what the school is is an arabic culture school we don't need to be teaching the arabic culture we don't need to be cheating the canadian culture we need to be teaching the american culture.

my name is my cure my daughter serina mohammad she attends international cademy. my daughter was living with her mother she came to live with me last year so i had to get her into a public school and you took arabic every day. you know a a ticket to egypt. is there also a culture clash there because. it's a story. we've actually been learning about like ancient rome greece a lot of stuff that none of the other classes are based on anything we learn in plants.

and early august of this year under pressure from the new york post and right wing bloggers representatives of the mare demanded that i resign as could be as principal as an arab american muslim born in yemen and raised in the united states establishing could was my american dream. it however turned into an american nightmare i have today signal my application to be climbing the principal of the polio gibran international academy right. i have also asked my lawyer to begin preparing a lawsuit against the department of education for violating my constitutional right .

to be killing. my. that. the first amendment issue was opening shot she quite clearly was discharged because of what she said about the intifada t. shirts what she said ought to be protected by the first amendment i think it's all wrapped up with the wider phenomenon of islamophobia and the enormous sensitivity by supporters of israel to anything that smacks of criticism of israel. i remember that day walking into the courtroom. and really. not having any name you know feeling of confidence or you know i left it all in the hands of god.

when the cross questioning took place by the lawyers from the city side it was just really intense the hardest moment for me was talking about my relationship with marable or maybe trail reminiscing on all of the work that i had done to build bridges between the arab and muslim communities of new york city and his office and to see all that go down the drain was just really really painful. we all felt that testimony went well and i came out if they're feeling that. we had made our case. as the judge began reading the decision. there was sort of a visible and an auditory and some cases. you know of oh this is not the way this is going to go the judge didn't believe that my

speaking to the new york post was protected speech and that my employer had the right to remove me. if they want to tell us to miss ought that everybody get that we lost this i just found it stunning i thought of the stunning decision oh. it was would it take you to pay out for. the ring abbie back afterwards we just walk over. to my lawyers office and we just sat there and we consoled on the next steps and i made it lay my liars were like we're going to appeal this we're not letting this. it's pitch a new thing in me and in the interview that was incorrect. i want

to ask you the time to stare. down when you took it out when you have to see it when you look it up yourself because we don't interrupt you when you looked up you found her oh oh oh. interpretation of it was precisely correct fish fish. but it was a lot of words have more than one definition. you better not tell anyone what you found on google you're job may be in jeopardy here. for quite encouraged this was the first hearing at which there was a recognition but on the part of the judges that there is a real issue of substance error free speech discrimination free. speech is for the conceive it puts new. context but which discourages

next to the response to her thoughts people believe i can't believe the city really wants to take that position that there is a disruptive response to a misleading article. today that unfairly quotes a city employee then then they get disciplined that that's a that's a very unattractive position for a city to take i felt that that day and the court of appeals there was just a sense of justice and a sense of accountability you know of holding the city and the department of education accountable for their actions against me and made me feel like ok we're going to get somewhere here the underlying issue is whether or not. merely by defining the word intifada to a newspaper reporter and generating some controversy one can lose a position would be lifo you see keep this but she was denied the position on

constitutionally she should get the position back several weeks later we received the court of appeals decision and so their decision was not to grant me the relief . however what they do. insist upon was that the case go back to the lower court. for a reexamination of the first amendment claim. a new principle consumers first entered the public school holly reich a former city teacher who also has international education experience this is the time to move forward to create the school that we all want and so i think that this is a challenge and it's it's a positive challenge we will have a dual language program and it will be outstanding.

good morning my name is carol of all i'm from stop them and draw some way here this morning because we are concerned about the students being educated at kelly algebra in the international academy what are you raising the pot at what we are afraid might be told is a doctrine which would be empty western civilization the surrounding circumstances have given us enough cause to be very concerned about the teaching of arabic culture can be a form of indoctrination into a radical islamist regime i think what's interesting here is that jews wait despite how weak the argument is deprived of education actually caters to these organizations and they're the reason that the school is in trouble right now that we should find out who this lady is you know you can you tell if you are mono directly from the communities in support of them and this is one of the families just k.g. are you so she has an agenda you know what. jews and a lot of you know contracts to go to her excuse me mr finkelstein if you look so

they might start a fight so if you would please. refrain school you come to be an american you come to school not really i don't even know if your school is open to everybody and it's over everybody the main goal was to have fifty percent absent two percent on average grow up but these would go into the country if you are over it to try it. who oppose our religion christian what would happen would be could i have started as a whole but i am i'm sorry this is the kind of stuff that you guys like to spread as not love everybody i think you'll hear they had but it's how i am and i am i would i thought you had it that now but i think i don't know i just speak out it reaches out to their eyes and say i couldn't get this no why would i see why would i own up and i think this is the most american institution or the window out of town again how can you trust out the door well go on down and this has no use trying to sell i think of her that way so if you trace out on i will say i travel i just remember

you're going to leave with this line for. us to think it's. ok you don't know how you use it what he's doing here you also make fun of jewish friends is that is that true clay just took off and looked for the jewish way. i do is i condemned jews he played to the tree of life with. the energy here was intense and the attitudes of the people who are defending the school are aggressive i hope that you saw that i hope that other people saw it they are very physically aggressive at one point they were chasing me and all i was doing was taking pictures like you say that again for the camera you called me able to think that you know me your lawyer like you did that you are none here think very big back here. in order to get in there with me. but.

i got more put up with a good deal of it would go to get you a new war this. was the work of your bike that will go you go come a walk on the boat with my boat you don't. want to go to a good public life. it's a normal public school it's cute little oh energetic eleven and twelve year olds and that's one of the most disturbing things for me is that all these attacks are coming and then you look at our students and their kids here's a school that's meant to be innovative. and you cannot be innovative when you're under a microscope. the whole idea is to help reform public education and the main thing that the school was about is creating

a high quality excellent education this will increase the understanding that our young people about the world. this is the world struggle in this tiny little place. was and you know what look. the left is always looking for of course somebody they can go to demonstrate against bush one day to go demonstrate for all my days are always it's love for america and therefore. i've seen specials on t.v. about everyday americans who actually spend their time on the internet browsing sort of islamist chat sites and websites and kids are hunting down terrorists so that's how i see stuff in the major us i feel that they really think they're hunting down terrorists their primary objective was to shut down this school. and you know in figuring out how to do it they realize that the best way to go about it was to go after its founding leader.

then i said about me or about it all but there is a far bigger worry here and that is i don't care it's the muslims in the post nine eleven era and right wing groups fear the yes and the imbalance a bit to deal christians and society that this country has been identified as their biggest fear is this whole notion of this country becoming a judo christian muslim society. what is wrong with that.

culture is that so much made me really maybe even

a lot of the play here yeah but again are chasing you how we use energy in what kind of will most likely determine our energy future the decisions we make now will the final. one. remain you the latest in science and technology from around the world. we've got the huge earth covered. sergeant of the israeli defense forces. during his service scorched a street fight. if you die in qana colonel of the chilean armed forces participated in keeping down a military revolt. a sergeant in the u.s. army. tried to become an american by getting pardon me i'm going to move. ranks and

reasons differ but one thing brings them together once they disobey.
