line and if you have you would it be that easy to find that out in the. last. months to people. if you. look at i think it might have been my little bit too much of that a little bit that we are shut out of money coming no doubt much a little too late for tomorrow not to get it but it. is this monday like. some forces of the. sea. you can be no problem.
3:02 pm
because you know provision of my bike when i want to. ask but i. get. there so i go hide oh i lost his bus because i just got then you just gotta go we sources you like and just like anybody i'm on a month although it doesn't but the best honest i don't mean that there's been a. choice as you know but i was your not. you not just i mean what almost bought it i'm already but it was but. i remember how the laws were going to go which i want. give it up as i might the army will get it on the wrist but those are the old. people are going to respect all of this but i will say this because i will ask him i will write about him we fancy. but that's already. calling question. mark about a lot of problems. and
3:03 pm
we're back with your wayne hung condom marks first female a mom talking about the future of islam in europe sure and in morocco at the council of islamic scholars is allowing women to officiate marriages in saudi arabia where men have been allowed to drive so there are steps forward in more traditional islamic countries but do you understand that from a western point of view i mean this isn't really impressive this is a very basic things that shouldn't have been banned in the first place. yes i agree with you totally. in the marry a mosque we have constructed a new marriage islamic marriage contract that gives women muslim women the right to
3:04 pm
divorce actually due today in the world muslim women do not have the basic right to divorce it's the right of the husband so and actually it's an islamic principle the right to divorce so we have contracted a new marriage contract giving women the basic islamic right to divorce and if palagi news for beaten in our contract is mental or physical violence occur the marriage is the law of the woman has the right over the children in case of a divorce we also conduct into religious marriages in the mara mosque as the first one in scandinavia we believe that any person has the right to choose her partner for life and it should be a very basic thing and but unfortunately today one of the biggest or not only in the muslim world but also in europe is into faith marriages and the the concept of interfaith marriage is i'm going to do that limbs leaders yes i'm going to come
3:05 pm
before was it about that amat arab spring activists woman from yemen and libya and they work on women's rights while looking to see a logical foundations ways to interpret in the koran finding their rights how does except our can't one's rights ever work outside religion in islamic communities where i mean is that for instance feminism in a west isn't tied to religion femen is don't go to st luke course and paul they don't turn to bible and ask them women have rights to so secular feminism even possible in muslim culture of course it's possible it's happening all the time i mean in in many muslim countries you have a population there a secure list and they're not even occupied with religion but i'm occupied with. reform within religion occupied about how we can re read the koran with a focus on gender equality but this secular feminism is i mean it's present all
3:06 pm
over the world also in the muslim world so when you say down with polygamy down with oppression of women you can be a good muslim and not wear a veil but i'd imagine your religious opponents would say wait well this isn't really slum at all is islam really and all you can eat cafeteria where you get to pick and choose what you like and discard what you don't like and actually i believe that as a muslim leader as a muslim spiritual leader i mean we shouldn't judge other people it's not our i mean we should listen to people in the area must we have the million moms with and without the scarf and in that sense we are reflecting reality as it is and i'm very confident i'm happy about that now interface marriages you conduct them in your mosque people come from all over europe to get married to get married by you saying that it's impossible to find a man elsewhere to do it but if other humans don't do it that means that your
3:07 pm
religion is against that so is this technically cheating actually tunisia the first muslim country in the world they changed the law in december two thousand and seventeen and now they made it possible for muslim women to marry non muslims and i think that that could create a domino effect in the rest of the muslim world not now but maybe in the future because someone has to take the first step we are actually not the only mosque that conducts interfaith marriages it is happening different places in the world but it's happening maybe it's not official officially it's not stated that it's happening but i know that it's happening in different places so. i don't mean to offend but i need to get down to the core of things right and like ask you where and whether there are double standards in every scene that we're talking about here
3:08 pm
maybe someone who can tell you that clinging to their religion in such a ways really paying lip service for it what i mean is that if islam doesn't accept hypothetically interface marriages then if i want to marry a hindu and i'm a muslim well maybe islam is not for me if it calls me to me a sinner for it right and if i'm gay and the catholic church doesn't want me at prayer where we catholics and isn't for me what's the point if you simply don't fit i mean i do believe that interfaith marriage is legitimate also according to islam as a religion in the koran it stated clearly that a muslim man can marry a jew or christian but it's not stated clearly that a woman can marry a jew or muslim and it's not stated that she cannot but in the koran it stated clearly that both men and women should seek the vote it seekers of the one so we find the legitimacy in the koran and we do believe that the right to choose your
3:09 pm
partner is a basic right it's a basic human right and if you believe that the koran i mean contains an essence on gender equality i mean what goes for the man goes for the woman so this is actually where we come from and what we believe in now i wonder if you have any ties with women clerics of other religions like rabbis or female christian priests is there any kind of gender solidarity that is crossing religious lines. i mean we are in the area most we call parade with other i mean communities we have very inspired by the jewish progressive jews in denmark and i also recently met delphine in the front i met the french president recently in the company of the fiend and we're really inspired by what they do because fema rabbis are doing the same thing as we are doing with a new so i think we have
3:10 pm
a lot to learn from each other you know we hear many top political figures in europe saying that islam doesn't belong to europe you live in a country with a government strongly against islam does it make it hard for you to get your message across or are the rhetoric of the politicians level on the politicians level doesn't really reflect what ordinary people think and how they treat you. i think it's a myth to state that the government in denmark is against islam that's not the case we have a growing islamophobia or a growing and his i mean rhetorical propaganda in denmark but it's in the right right wing parties so the government in general they do accept islam as a religion like any other religion but. so so at a state level it's accepted and no i don't experience this kind of empty islamic retore at a state level but of course in the right wing parties at
3:11 pm
a daily basis you experience and sees them make retore comparable again and we try to challenge that so there is push from muslims in countries like england canada france to create a separate sharia legality for them since those laws are the way of the face do you think that muslims in non islamic societies should have a separate legal system for themselves. i do not think so i think that it's that muslims all over the world i mean in european countries they should. they should accept and be a part of the constitution that is existing in the existing countries and it's also stated clearly in the koran that muslims have to. i mean submit themselves to the existing constitutions in the countries that they live in so it's actually very basic. and i do believe that the western educational system is quite good
3:12 pm
and we also spoke about i mean what would it be like if we had a female in my maid or any my medication in denmark and actually i think that the west and its u.k. tional system is quite good and it is a quite good fundament for being a female. so the culture clash in secular societies gets violent sometimes i mean. if we remember the danish concur tune of the prophet challis a bill or the american muhammad movie and how many people died as a result of all of that. what should come first here the rights of europeans to draw any cartoon they wish or the religious sensibility of muslims i think that there of course freedom of speech is a universal value and it's a fundamental value and it's not a christian westen no you it's
3:13 pm
a universal value which is shared by all people all over the world to me as a muslim freedom of speech. is an essential value at the same time i have another essential value which is. the believe that the koran is the word of god or you know this sensitivity. so i do believe that. it's important as human beings that when we we have this freedom of speech but it's not a freedom to evaluate other people or to discriminate other people so always with freedom of speech there comes responsibility so we all everybody's responsible for how we talk and how we meet people and we have to ask ourselves what is the purpose of the dialogue what do we want to use of freedom of speech what do once you use it to if we want to have a dialogue with people who thinks differently or i mean it's not
3:14 pm
a very good strategy to speak very badly about these people and so we have to ask ourselves what do we want to use the freedom of speech with what we what what is the purpose of freedom of speech so on both sides i mean everybody has to has to you know be aware that. you know we have to be responsible when we when we have the power to express ourselves i mean with that with that power comes responsibility so as a spiritual muslim leader i know that i have a certain responsibility and i and you know when you have a power you have a responsibility and i think we should reflect upon that scene when this cussing and freedom of speech because it's really very important sure in thank you very much for this wonderful interview we wish you well that is of luck were
3:15 pm
talking to cheering hunt khan denmark's first female imaam discussing whether islam and european values can co-exist that is it for this edition of sophie and co i will see you next. thank you. to be. up and up a bit better. than the fall. down siegel the review is who you are talking to this. does. not. come up but

implicated the us leader in breaking campaign finance law and twenty six being asked for donations to cover his the fence it's paying off as well he's raised over one hundred fifty thousand dollars in two days a skill up in reports it's not always bad business to be dismissed by the president and donald trump was a host on the reality t.v. show the apprentice he really took the show's iconic catchphrase to heart you're fired you're fired you're fired. now that donald trump is the president getting fired by him isn't exactly a career setback take the case of michael cohen this is michael collins lawyer urging people to support michael cohen with an online fundraiser some people might be laughing but the cash is flowing and then there's peter struck the disgraced former f.b.i. agent who sent him to trump messages to his mistress now he's raising money online he's already raised four hundred forty three thousand dollars half

a ticket to making more money than he paid you to begin with what people have to realize one of the about it donald trump has been more. a source of jobs for more people who have done nothing more than become or exist as a disgruntled either former trump fan or employer or associate i mean right now it is a cottage industry to see how much you can hate donald trump be trade donald trump and cash in in the meantime i have never seen any thing like this an obsession a fixation and obsessive compulsive disorder a focus to big way should i could think of no other way no no psychological construct that can best describe this unnatural and unhealthy.
3:25 pm
focused rage and not just. let me clarify not over a particular policy program platform vision idea no it's just him. moving on now a french police describe the city of grenoble near the alps as the french chicago they've expressed great concern over the rocketing crime rates seen some politicians even try and avoid the area. weird too many things happen when up till now we are afraid you're afraid to go out in the evening why they can steal your jewelry they can grab your bag we have never
3:26 pm
seen anything like that the police used to be more tough but now even they're afraid. so out of their lives to do the crime rate is significant in grenoble compared to cities of the same size the city is plagued with drug trafficking there's not a single week without a knife attack or criminal settling their schools. had to have renewed the fact that interior minister came to visit for cool in the usa on regions we thought he would visit grenoble even for a short visit. in the future we will of course make additional efforts in this area . they could have sold to a key preserve phrase because there are gangs both male and female who just come
3:27 pm
and rob them in broad daylight and no one even moves because they're scared to death the police are afraid of those crooks because they have kalashnikovs they're armed to the teeth with the weapons of war and the municipal police have nothing by the national police are believe it is the criminals who are the law in this city. the us democratic party has cried foul over a quote sophisticated that it's voter database just months before the midterm elections the party security chief approached the f.b.i. over the incident ball board even. it's that the democrats must remain vigilant ahead of the elections and the media were quick to maybe to blame the democratic party's voter database targeted with a sophisticated hacking attempt d.n.c. just confirm the n.b.c. news has alerted authorities to an attempt to had all of their voter file and the
3:28 pm
takeaway really is if this continues to be a major issue any attack on a political party or campaign is important for us all to take seriously but here's the rub later on when state party chief said method this so-called attack was in fact an in security test it was initiated by the democrats in michigan branch which coordinated what it was up to with the head office the branch chief says it's donald trump refusal to crack down on foreign interference that spurred them into action and best to get a reporter dave lindorff ses election tampering claims are being exaggerated. the meddling issue is. first of all i think has been overblown in the first case you know when they found evidence. in a russian based. organizations that were buying ads and things on facebook it was such a tiny amount during the two thousand and sixteen election that it was laughable so
3:29 pm
you know i think most people most sensible people realize that the election in two thousand and sixteen was not significantly impacted by meddling it was affected dramatically by a really bad candidate running a really bad campaign in. popular accommodation service herb being there to help you find a comfortable place to stay around the globe now the homeowner personally chooses who they would like to host but valid aspect of the business has raised the issue of people being denied booking because of their names or profile pictures in front of journalist marouane gene who has north african roots sees that when he tried to book an apartment in mar say his reservation was canceled without explanation his friend who he ses has a good french name later but the same apartment on the exact same dates. it's

a clear example of discrimination after the journalist wrote about his experience on twitter a b. and b. was quick to respond and expressed regrets over the incident down stressed its opposition to all forms of discrimination we were joined in the programme by political commentator nicolette markovitch and french lawyer husni mati who gave us their thoughts on the rights of owners to choose their guests i think there's a problem with. this form committee you know it's in the large sense today in france which has got a bad image and some people would rather not rent than rent to people who got this bad image an article within the north african community muse giving some argue. to racist people who don't want to see enough african post in their house and a lot of people will think people coming from our factories. crying to incivility to terrorism and unfortunately these are some of the reasons why we speak a lot of the north african community today.
