good things we have in europe now. is labor government. so it counts is the qur'an not germany's basic law against exactly you're aware of the study showing that the majority of turks living here in germany put the qur'an above the basic law. still on the scene they are the only ones we've all of them were honest that figure would be eighty percent. versus after sports or. you know. reading the coffee grounds can you do that. what's in store for the future. it says islam called the reformed. with if i have to see that.
a certain job for example because i look like a muslim because i have a beard uk income vice. president and bob hogg because i want to pray at work and i'm placed at a disadvantage as a result you know if i'm out and i'm with you have but we're told the whole time that we don't quite belong to german society yet even though we call ourselves german are you primarily german or primarily muslim i'm primarily you can't put it that way because the one is religion and the other is nationality i'm a german muslim and melbourne and i just have to i would like to be accepted by german society i want to be accepted with all my facets even though it's just a piece of fabric on my head i want to be accepted with it and a pair in public and it i'd like to be able to wear it and still be able to work as a lawyer for example and. at the end of the conversation i became aware again how
herself a conservative muslim feminist. i was just being told about. that . i found out about you a bit earlier. you've come with your entourage a surprise guest. you could have told me in advance. we couldn't for security reasons i thought it was because people would be a bit upset no they're real security reasons you're not annoyed with me are you you know i was just a bit surprised you two know each other yes that's why i thought that what you just said made sense where are we going around the corner to al and martha let's try it . what's that. for three of which you wanted to wear kneecap and cover your face. this is the hima
the eyes of allah can i respond to that as evidence that women were equal before islam came along the prophet's first wife what was she she was a traitor his employer. there was no islam and then she offered him a job and she even asked for his hand in marriage. yes but she was an exception in that society didn't now want to deny that girls who are buried alive that was an arab tradition that's a legend and exactly we're talking about other sources so we won't be on the same page one more question you said girls were buried alive before mohammed came along what did mohammed and always friends get for wives from all the girls had already been buried it's a legend and that's what i'm saying is that the prophet is sacred to you and that it crosses a red line for you if the prophet is criticized. i just think that the source is mr
religion and that islam that's against the constitution if you want as the constitution gives us religious freedom not for muslims but for everybody a christian is a person of faith as a jew or a hindu and an atheist who doesn't have a faith. can invoke the basic law to muslims need to accept that it was the members of the stuff that you have and i don't think it's in here but then we're confronted with the devout muslims who take the qur'an as the word of god the final word. on that instead of going by allah it's say's that allies religion is islam and islam came to defeat all other religions if you want and we're seeing it all had a. feeling in the world many things in the qur'an have to be relativize done viewed from a historical perspective of course there's a lot of resistance to that like i've said before that it's quite clear that if a muslim once a live according to the letter of the qur'an in europe and be
pressure from the home but in this case there's no pressure from home there was pressure from school and the students teased each other i know that from egypt that in a way so it's kinda funny for some the women who don't wear it on the street sometimes have the have pulled so hard it comes out so it's going to say it's ok would you say you're a better muslim with a huge job i think it comes from here not here for me it's here you don't have to prostrate yourself on a mat five times a day to pray if you've got bad thoughts running through your head nobody can tell me they're one hundred percent muslim and the way it's written in the koran. is counted as a moment why do you think god wants you to behave this way this is the source of. why not ask me the other way around why isn't it the case i don't know if i knew that i had to be much farther along god probably judge doesn't correctly i only
to get a five we're on a journey to see how you have smugglers live do muslims in belgium france and spain have the same problems and worries the same desires are europe's muslims the same everywhere are they able to reflect critically on islam where does this work especially well where doesn't it what are their fears do they have to fear exclusion and. on the may that's where the conflict is distinguishing between the ideology or religion and the people and that's what motivated me to go on this journey and. how men had a bad reputation for hating islam that shows that critics of islam aren't really welcome so you can end up in a dangerous place it's high time to eliminate this issue from the perspective of
then i'll find things to love about that person i was yesterday but you don't have to approach it positively from the start for you as a devout muslim i can understand why you'd approach the brother free of the prophet positively because you love this person i want to be neutral i want to look at the sources i have to forget that the qur'an is revealed by god i see it is a human written in the seventh century if you read the text you forget the reality and the love and then you realize there are problems biggest monday with this title and even on the eastern part of us the problems with wars problems with the prophets both in the qur'an and in other sources and in philly and they are following that he kept women a spoils of war for example and had sex with them but that's not in the koran the way you quote that ok so you're a thirty three it's pointless to discuss the theology it's for program but you said it wasn't in the qur'an that he used them for sex and that he saw them as spoils of
tolerance and tolerance not in the islamic sense of tolerating christians and jews but tolerance in the sense of the european in light and meant and then a civil society and pluralism. it was in itself be all that pluralism means islam is one religion among many the majority of muslims reject that they say there's just one religion and that islam that's against the constitution of your does the constitution gives us religious freedom not for muslims but for everybody a christian is a person of faith as a jew or a hindu and an atheist who doesn't have a faith can invoke the basic law to muslims need to accept that it was the members of the stuff that you know i don't think is in here but then we're confronted with the devout muslims who take the qur'an as the word of god the final word. on that in state that again by a lack it sais that allies religion is islam and islam came to defeat all other
wool that's not in the qur'an let's look at zero thirty three get a koran so we can look no problem i have it in my head you don't no problem. for me the prophet is someone who brought about a revolution at a time when women meant nothing when women were sold and given away as commodities when girls were buried alive the prophet came and said men and women are equal in the eyes of allah can i respond to that as evidence that women were equal before islam came along the prophets first wife what was she she was a traitor his employer. there was no islam when she offered him a job and she even asked for his hand in marriage. yes but she was an exception in that society didn't now want to deny that girls who are buried alive that was an arab traditions that's a legend and exactly we're talking about other sources so we won't be on the same
