traditional deadline passes while his wiki leaks website starts to release in the so-called syrian front. is a multicultural society doomed to failure that's the question we're asking in our special report sharing the motherland. when you pull out of a law about a year and a museum you can go through much of your mother. i wish me to say good deal more to them and i'm medium you d.m. me your. photos and all the good and of course you do and i'm glad for last night that. it better i get a bank. because all of them are gonna try to i'm out of the truck. i'll take on a true doing my job was done at the don't know my a llama to. residents

of amsterdam's boss and norma district all have a history a similar as the blocks of flats in this neighborhood. even though they migrated here a long time ago there has been little contact with the native dutch the immigrants have carefully upheld the traditions and customs of the far away homeland putting little effort into learning the local language. humidify good morning long welcome to all in the mid-east i come from turkey over it and i am a target. 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 was.

a completely different way of life can be found any a few trum steps away from go. loma amsterdam could compete with new york for the title of modern babylon more than two hundred ethnic groups lived here. the whole of post-war poland has been working hard to build the image of europe's most tolerant country to legalize soft drugs and prostitution as well as same sex marriages freedom of opinion and liberty are the call values of the modern netherlands. as it. helps. status will be. that i will be no. drugs consumption there will be no fear. 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 is actually of moroccan descent christine 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 will pray in any place even in the city center. every place is good for praise if it's there you can pray the south thing is that

the evil muslims think that you can't pray. to do with the kind of modality that the most of us have nowadays they are ashamed to be muslim they don't know what. the reason is 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 adopt to our values and our laws and our constitution and then you are equal as 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. a terrible thing then we have to either put you in jail or expel you out of our country. in the summer of two thousand and ten the freedom party by here too will this came third in the parliamentary elections in the netherlands having received twenty three mandates this is known for his right wing

views and harsh criticism of israel his film fitna demonizes the qur'an comparing it to handle fifty mine come the problem of holland is that we work too long to toll we should stop immigration of people from muslim countries we should stop the islamic symbolism i wouldn't want to have more mosques and i will and i want islamic schools to be closed let the people integrate with other children from other religions or public schools or whatsoever and i want that we have tough penalties to people who think crimes. out of holland. clearly. my kids play computer games all day long they always speak too much 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. journey to holland was not an easy one the afghan artist had first to escape from his war torn 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's a moroccan mosque or a turkish mosque or an afghan mosque was that for me a mosque is a place for all muslims can come to pray. them. 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 article 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 taliban after the nine eleven attacks many muslims especially afghans had to go through some hard times. back then 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 a major conflict between the muslims and the dutch. in two thousand and four filmmaker theo van gogh was murdered in amsterdam his killer was mohammed bouyeri age twenty six moroccan member of the network terrorist organization. the reason behind the murder was the director's film submission which revealed the humiliations women in the islamic world have to go through.

this verdict that has killed my love is in your holy book. faith in you said mission you. feel safe souls be trained. on july the twenty sixth two thousand and five hundred was sentenced to life imprisonment without parole. but. this tsunamis wrap up the first to be called by his stage of course the main ration behind his work is his beloved district about today. it's. cold. against.

the people from the world like. ape's there were a lot of you had. this. telling of the people cavemen telly and i was like how dare you speak about people . men. and all the big hours of all of them 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 dreamt 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 native to settle down and bellmore immigrants from africa and former docks colonies began moving into the southeast of

the capital. in a thing the say in one thousand nine hundred eighty three part ment's in bellmore were overcrowded in eighty five but in one thousand nine hundred thirty five became independent which led to even greater overcrowding of residential houses cope with the troublesome groups often come to belmore because it is easier to find housing here than in the breast of amsterdam. in bellmore it's possible to encounter over one hundred fifty different ethnicities the situation is the same in boston lama. 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 dutch way of life. wherefrom through them so the way of living is to remember it's a whole different way of living in holland where familiar 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 the dutch people when you come in to hold the only have three meatballs and when you come to know me both for you and their greedy there. was. abraham is a devout muslim from turkey nor was goes to the mosque on fridays. abraham is temporarily unemployed bethel he can devote the rest of his day to walking around the neighborhood he lives in boston loma. these few streets all that he sees of not just amsterdam but the rest of europe his favorite cafe in turkish wedding dress shop owned by his sister are located here also from

a spot in 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 then we haven the same way other turks do. i go to turkish weddings turkish coffee houses and celebrate turkish holidays. face. this friday in britain 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. ibrahim sings in turkish this is the only kind of music his family and misspeak friends. culture is that so much understand and if we're always on the back of you but

you're targeting africa the u.s. is expanding its covert military and intelligence operations across the continent this is being done we're told on. a mission free accreditation free. for charges free. range month free. three stooges free. download free broadcast quality video for your media projects a free video dog r.t. dot com you. entered a not school here. i passed 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 skinned 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 class and said that white students was supposed to turn white schools while black students were to go to black schools there was about this. 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 and 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 then you're not part of the society yes politicians

say that we live in one country that europe is one and that nobody is discriminators 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. think it is two minutes to three radiographs was only a few of the one hundred three point eight and one hundred five point two f.m. . alone to everyone listening to us and to the southeast of amsterdam. radio is the voice of the deals with the issues news of the neighborhood that. runs it was run by

surinamese migrants 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 here. it has been ten years since read just moved to europe from one of the northern states of india he sells. vegetables here in the past that jess does not even think of learning dutch english was quite sufficient but not anymore. if i love the language

i don't. like i think it was going to be a problem because that was the custom model year marveling at the very valuable data. and 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 or 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 u.a.e. for european football championship. as usual neighbors gather together in the courtyard to watch the game everybody knows each other here as many are members of the same far right party. also because the first weekend we joined the national democratic party in germany in protest of the leftist policy we are fighting for a dutch society with out immigrants all criminal immigrant. must be sent back. on june the third two thousand and twelve the german city of hamburg saw 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 cousteau's 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. cousteau's and his followers dream of a netherlands without. will to go through a lesson 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 border and. the dutch team lost their first match one nil. before we. take it back. because we have what we believe to. 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 he's preparing for another protest in the center of amsterdam together with his friend. young muslims often. encounter in the capital but sometimes the outcome is unpleasant during one of his last summons seem was attacked by possible i might be so shall not see if the police are suspicious

of the islamists and frequently check their documents. because we saw a society like it here where. we. are for is. much more. better. and. there you could if next week or you could work longer hours so. this is. after he began to dress in traditional muslim clothes in public relations with abu cassini neighbors soured . a little it would be a bit like. that. and they know me like. that people. are going.

to be honest i would if i paid my rent but the problem is with most insistence that we have no shot of calls and e-mails from muslim sifu through fingers you can't walk anymore which. must be uploaded from one of the streets in january two thousand and twelve the dutch parliament signed a law banning the wearing of mosques in public the law concerned primarily kneecaps and burkas by terms of female muslim clothing the fine for violating the law is four hundred euros. this move sparked sharp criticism from dutch muslims i don't kow what those women think about i also both of them i don't do it out of hate what are the thing else i really believe that if you wear a book and. that you will have a very tough time to integrate the young muslim women should be in the battle in holland this is what i'm fighting for and if you were a book please believe me you will get no that's friends you will get no job will be

very difficult to find any job. after all you don't know said to them when i go to amsterdam city center ahead i always feel that i have 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 in turkey. in the neighborhood of boston normal 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 kelly and joanne are the

heads of one such project called bookstore. today they are playing with local kids and teaching them the importance of keeping streets clean. does doesn't work just say ok you have to say ok we have. what you think about what you think you can do. the problem is the trash. and i mean it's for the kids the people they say well in . a way because you're not allowed to keep everything clean so this is the way we do it now we have to understand that this is the way you think. this is also not a good thing so how can we find solutions or. most immigrants are willing to attend general meetings and get involved in friendly discussion with the artists but in the evening some young moroccans from boston engage in a completely different form of creative work in this building where they've broken

twenty seven times and people from the neighborhood they did this since i live. here they broke into my house twice. and once i also saw two people break in in the in the house on the other corner but then i called my neighbors like ok i saw these guys i know what they are we have to do something as a neighborhood but no one answered no one opens the door. to the bride and groom on celebrating their wedding with two hundred guests in the turkish style but they are all from false and. it is practically impossible to tell the difference between this wedding and i'm still down the line in turkey. the language and traditions from that far away home none of those be meticulously observed. the. feet.

below the. surface 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 abraham he wakes up prays and then takes a ride on the tram for a few stumps. to his mother this is my stall i live here and. people of both loma belmore live in the same city as the native tongue yet these two worlds exist

parallel to each other like tram tracks the question from holland and the rest of europe is whether they will ever meet.
