that even being from muslims who are black and you know being called black muslims so there's a way that even when you see representations of black muslims are muslims who are black they are not a part of the whole conversation of muslims so we're sort of other it in that and that is because i think that relationship. black people have in this country in terms of how we were brought over here in a trance and then explain even the discussion about islam in america and how when we think about the slaves and during expel them south and the idea that there are actually muslims who are practicing black muslims who are black practicing islam but that is often left out of history books and certainly left out of the discussion of that in cinema so for me it's about sort of you know i take like the idea that. i think about it is redefining what people expect in terms of what it means to be muslim and muslim who had who was black but was very american so i think about the. muslim band and how that band is also a band. of african countries as well but the faith of the muslim band doesn't seem

women to marry non—muslims.st year, in december 2017, so it's also legally possible to marry outside islam for a woman. it has always been a possibility for the man because it is stated clearly in the koran that a muslim man can marry ajew, or a christian, or a non—muslim, but the opposite is not stated clearly. but it is also not stated that a woman can't. so we use that as our legitimacy. but you've got another problem. there are many people in denmark, politicians of the right and the far right, secularists, those who have a deep suspicion of islam in all of its forms, who look at you and feel that you represent a danger because you appear to make islam more acceptable to a danish mindset when, in fact, they say, many of your core attitudes are just as alien to danish values as the so—called islamists. it's a very little minority who are giving that statement. let's go through a view of their specific points about you. you claimed at the beginning of the maryam mosque experiment, or the founding of the mosque

but you are fighting against a sort of huge weight of muslim opinion, but not just huge weight of muslimfrankly resources . notjust opinion, but also frankly resources. i am thinking for example of saudi arabia. yes. which invest billions and billions of dollars in mosque building, in madras, in education, right across the muslim world, indeed in europe as well as pa rt world, indeed in europe as well as part of the rest of the world. it goes without saying that wahabbi, the saudi interpretation of islam, is1 million march yours, so how can you compete? it is not a matter of competition, it is a matter of establishing a solid alternative to wahabism, islamism, establishing this alternative. we are not here to delegitimise traditional groups or conservatives. we are here to create... conservatives. we are here to create. . . that conservatives. we are here to create... that is what you are doing, accusing them of misogyny, systematic discrimination. but the thing is how do you do it? how do you deliver your criticism? thing is how do you do it? how do you deliver your criticism ? i thing

muslim americans. but even within muslim spaces you see certain people and say they are muslims and other people profit to say they are this background of a muslim. because we are defaulting. we are creating cultural norms and a lot of the spaces that we are in. i don't think the solution is to pretend we are the same. the solution is for everything a person, even if you are the majority in the space, to really acknowledge that to make the exceptions explicit. to be very intentional about what you are assuming, and what you are defaulting the space you are in. the last piece of this is the long-term education piece. because this work is long-term, we should not be falling into this trap of, i am too busy to educate myself. to educate people too busy fighting white supremacy. this is a centuries-old struggle and ultimately this fight about tribalism, arrogance, it goes back to satanic behavior. i will not bow down because he created -- i would not but i do in a because you created him a fire and you cre
