good morning. welcome to holland. i come from turkey. and i am a target ups. but i live in holland and i feel very good here when i leave this place for a long time and i really miss it and i want to come back to amsterdam to boston loma. a completely different way of life can be found in the a few tram stops away from loma amsterdam could compete was new york for the title of modern babylon more than two hundred ethnic groups lived here. the whole of

post-war holland has been working hard to build the image of europe's most tolerant country it legalized soft drugs and prostitution as well as same sex marriages freedom of opinion and liberty on the call values of the muslim not a looks. as if the coffee shops alcohol. status will be all banished but i will be no free. drugs consumption there will be no free alcohol consumption on the streets so the youth will be protected so they won't be doing hopeful things. these young people are representatives of the islamic organization shari'a for holland there are groups of this kind all across western europe only recently to great britain ban a similar group of islamists the chief mission of these orthodox muslims is to establish shari'a law that's the combination between democracy and sharia it's

either democracy or syria. the same is the twenty nine year old leader of shari'a for holland even though he's actually of moroccan descent scene was born in the netherlands schooled here and is fluent in dutch and english. but at the same time he rejects western values and meticulously observes all the rules of the qur'an. for instance he would pray in any place even in the city center. is good for if it's. the thing. to do with the kind of. have nowadays. they don't know what. because they live for twenty thirty forty years on the islamic government. for the muslims that are already in our societies i have a very clear message either you. tell us in our laws and our constitution and then

you are equal to anybody else and we will even help you to integrate but if you don't if you cross the red line of violence or wanting to implement sharia. terrible thing that we have to either put you in jail or expel you out of our countries. in the summer of two thousand and ten the freedom party by here too will do this came in the parliamentary elections in the netherlands having received twenty three mandates this is known for his right wing views and harsh criticism of his film fitna demonizes the qur'an comparing it to. the problem of allah is that we were told we should stop immigration of people from muslim countries we should stop the islamic symbolism i wouldn't want more loss and i want islamic schools to be closed that the people integrate with all the. religions of public

schools or what's. and i want that we have two people who. clearly. my kids play computer games all day long they always speak dutch and for us it can be a problem. they will also have to learn english children can manage it but sometimes it can be difficult they speak their native language at home and then at school they communicate and each. our efforts journeyed to holland was not an easy one the afghan artist had first to escape from his homeland to russia there he received an education in art and then he decided to move to europe. before he came to holland i had never

heard of a black school or a white school or what some moroccan mosque a turkish mosque or an afghan mosque that for me a mosque is a place for all muslims can come to pray. or if decided from the very beginning that he would not live in immigrant ghettos he settled down with his family in the small town of began studying dutch and entered the local law to come to me. now here living by teaching the basics of painting. there was a time when people started looking at us as if we were members of the tell about after the nine eleven attacks many muslims especially afghans had to go through some hard times. many were saying that all muslims were terrorists and that they were all linked to al qaeda many things of the sort came out in the open. for example a couple of years ago a dutch filmmaker was killed by

a muslim which gave rise to major conflict between the muslims on the dutch. in two thousand and four filmmaker theo van gogh was murdered in amsterdam his killer was my. age twenty six. member of the. terrorist organization. the reason behind the murder was the director's film submission which revealed the humiliations women in the islamic world to go through. this verdict that has killed like. your holy book. you said mission you. feel safe self-control. on july the twenty sixth two thousand and five. was sentenced to life imprisonment without parole. but.

this tsunamis wrap up the first to be called. the main. work is his beloved district about the. polls. people. were. sure you had. this. case mentality and i was like how dare you speak about people. and all the big. all of the big. everybody spoke about that particular

situation now this area is marked on the maps of amsterdam as the southeast but the local still call it out of habit it was designed and built in the one nine hundred sixty s. the architects of building the city of the future huge apartment blocks plenty of space for parks and footpaths as an alternative to the crowded city center of amsterdam. however it was not natives that settled down and bellmore immigrants from africa and former colonies began moving into the southeast of the capital. in a thing the in one thousand nine hundred eighty three part. crowded in eighty five but in one thousand nine hundred thirty five became independent which led to even greater overcrowding of residential houses. troublesome groups often come to be because it is easier to find housing here than in the rest of amsterdam.

in bellmore it's possible to encounter over one hundred fifty different ethnicities the situation is the same in both. many immigrants have lived here for ten years but they have still not learned the language the majority are not so interested in adopting the way of life. we're from them so the way of living is suing them it's a whole different way of living in holland where familia like when you come to my house for me. with a wife and a child when you come as a friend i still have one. because with we're a big happy family in holland those people when you come in to hold the old if the meatballs you know when you come there's no meatball for you and they're greedy they. owe. it to him is a devout muslim from turkey no was goes to the mosque on fridays. abraham

is temporarily unemployed therefore he can devote the rest of his day to walking around the neighborhood he lives in. these few streets only two seasons not just amsterdam but the rest of europe this favorite cafe in turkish wedding dress shop owned by his sister are located here also from a small our family like many other community members here comes from turkey i think yes and i attended a dutch school but i have always communicated with turkish people and we also speak turkish at home and i meet him the same way other turks do. i go to turkish weddings turkish coffee houses and celebrate turkish holidays.

this friday abraham is lucky he's been offered a job singing at a turkish wedding. becoming a professional singer has been his dream for a long time. to bring him sings into this is the only kind of music his family and friends miss. culture is that so much given to each musician on the market his beer spring finally coming to sudan as the protest movement grows the regime of al bashir appears to have limited options with the control. wealthy british style. markets financed scandals find out what's really happening to the global economy for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines to cause

a report on our. school him with a pulse the exam i did everything that i was required to do but they simply did not let me continue studying. it was very difficult. it was hill i was the only dog skint guy at school then and it was impossible to find another place. that was a terrible experience for me when the teacher student front of the clawson said that white students was supposed to turn white schools while black students were to go to black schools. so i asked the teacher what do you mean by a white school in the black school. how could you distribute people to different schools by the color of their skin. all. managed to get into

another school graduate and now even stages his own exhibitions. one of his installations was a model of his native city of kabul made out of cardboard boxes over the years he has lived in holland it never occurred to move closer to his countryman. if you live in your small world of the society yes politicians say that we live in one country that europe is one nobody is discriminated but then you discover that it's often quite the opposite if you look at such neighborhoods you'll see that the turks and the moroccans huddled together. why do they want to live closer to each other. good day good day i. mean it's just three. hours only a few of the three point eight and one hundred five point two f.m.

. hello to everyone listening to us and to the southeast of amsterdam. radio is the voice of the deals with the issues of the neighborhood that. was run by these migrants by trying to keep their finger not just on the pulse of their own people but on every small immigrant community. so this. is a multicultural radio station and it is out here for all ethnicities it is not only for the syrian amines but it is the tsunamis that we try to reach out to all the other communities as we also have african programs and indonesian programs we are very multicultural. of this market next to the

city council one can meet representatives of only ethnic groups living in. dozens of languages and dialects spoken. it has been ten years since ren just moved to europe from one of the northern states of india he sells vegetables here in the past registers not even think of learning dutch english was quite sufficient but not anymore. i don't. think it was going to be a problem because that was the custom model year marveled at the very. moment that. no register tens language courses immigrants from africa asia and latin america sit at the desks next to him the dutch name for the program is in buggering integration in other words this is not just

a language course but also a way to incorporate foreigners into dutch society as much as possible. that it helps i think that the compulsory language training helps we are now facing the following situation i sometimes have to deal with students who have lived in holland for ten years or longer and who have never considered it necessary to learn dutch because it was not compulsory and they have lived here for ten years and no matter what i tell them they do not understand a thing i'm sorry that this is so but when they are required to learn it i see that after six months they at least start to understand me. the small city of them is code orange today much like the rest of the netherlands the national football team is playing the first match of the way for european football championship. as usual neighbors gather together in the courtyard to watch the game everybody knows each other here as many a members of the same far right party. often over to get to know we can we joined

the national democratic party in germany in protest of the leftist. policy who are fighting for a dutch society with out immigrants all criminal immigrants must be sent back. on june the third two thousand and twelve the german city of hamburg so massive clashes between right wing radicals and anti fascist activists. german and dutch nationalists planned to march through the streets to protest against the policy of multiculturalism in europe representatives of left wing organizations attacked a column of the right wing activists following the massive clashes dozens of people were injured and seven hundred arrested. constant coos to the leader of the dutch people's union is also watching the football match together with his supporters. even the most tolerant dutch refer to him as

a neo nazi i cousteau's and his followers dream of a netherlands without felonies. in natal and the idea of multiculturalism in the netherlands as well as throughout europe and throughout the world in fact has been a flop. if you begin to notice that people are forced to live in certain areas of the city take moroccans for instance they cause us a lot of headache at some point we want to get back to the situation we had before when we were the leaders of our country and. the dutch team lost their first match one nil. to forfeit. because we will be. here. live for us which is just. seem the leader of the

shari'a for hollande movement denounces football and all the other values of dutch society in the apartment he rents his prepare. ring for another protest in the center of amsterdam together with his friend. mike young muslims often gather in the capital but sometimes the outcome is unpleasant during one of his last summons cutscene was attacked by a possible by. the police are suspicious of the his mists and frequently check their documents. because he saw a society like it here where. we . are groups is. much more. like where you could if next week or so.

this is. after he began to dress in traditional muslim clothes in public relations with abu casinos neighbors soured. neighbors. and they know me like. people. who are going. to be honest i would if i paid my rent but the problem is with most assistance and we have no shot of golf it must exist for three fingers because look at the mall. most been closed form the street. in january two thousand and twelve the dutch parliament signed a law banning the wearing of mosques in public the law concerned primarily kneecaps because by terms of female muslim clothing the fine for violating the law is four

hundred euros. this move sparked shop criticism from dutch muslims i don't kow what those things. but i also both of them i don't do with out of anything else i really believe that if you wear a book and holler that you will have a very tough time to integrate young muslim women should be in the battle in holland this is what i'm fighting for and if you wear a book please believe me you will get no dutch friends you will get no job will be very difficult to find any job. you don't know says to them when i go to interview him city center i always feel that ended up in a completely different world there are a lot of dutch and a lot of tourists there. there is a chance i'm between the rest of amsterdam and my boss along the way when you're in this district you feel like you're a turkey. in the neighborhood of.

immigrants adjust to the european way of life through the help of art bulla until artists can rent out an apartment in this disadvantaged area of practically no cost but to give back to society they participate in public programs with the turkish and moroccan community. artists. are the heads of one such project called bookstore . today they are playing with kids and teaching them the importance of keeping streets. just say ok you. know. what you think about this. and i mean it's for the kids the people they say well in. a way because you're not allowed to. so this is the way we do it. you think.

me find. things and get involved in friendly discussion with the artists in the evening. engage in a completely different form of creative work. and people from the neighborhood. and once i also saw two people break in in the corner but then i called my neighbor. no one opened the door. two hundred guests in the.

difference between. the turkey. clint's modifying turkish traditions to be cool why not i do not know why actually we are accustomed to them that i do not know any turks following dutch traditions there are very few of them it is almost never the case.

after the wedding the next morning begins as usual for the brain he wakes up prays and then takes a ride on the tram for a few stops. to dismiss this is my story i live here and. the people of boston moma belmore live in the same city as the native dutch yet these two worlds exist power to each other like tram tracks the question for most in holland and the rest of europe is whether they will ever meet.
