yes, but that's in denmark. but that's my point. you're not drawing in the vast majority of danish muslims. actually, it's not quite true, because the effect of our work is more than these 150 members. we have implemented the woman's right to divorce, we are performing interfaith marriages, i'll come back to that later. we have given women the possibility of leading the prayer, giving the hudba, disseminating new messages on islam in europe, so we are actually changing things. and sometimes we believe that it takes the masses to change a fundament, or to change the structure, or to change the future, but actually sometimes a small group of people are actually able to create change. and we had a visitorfrom indonesia, who was the grand imam from indonesia, who represents 200,000 muslim devotees, every friday they come for his friday prayer. he came to the mariam mosque, he blessed the mosque, and he said that female imams is a blessing and a necessity. so we have a lot of support inside denmark and also abroad. but to become a member

and the numbers arriving in denmark are extremely no especially compared to the numbers of refugees in the world is actually getting high and so so yes that has been really tightened up the laws in the last few years and this in a time where we can see both our friends and within the e.u. that countries that basically need us to work together and come up with common solutions and also that the numbers are quite high in the well so so we've seen a government with their supporting parties who have been toughening up laws as they call it. and this is just the latest step rasmussen not chris joining us from copenhagen he's from the alternative party there and mike thank you for your time thing. just a quick update now on the protests in france and students have joined anti-government demonstrations sweeping the country and he was blocked about one hundred high schools by students who are upset about a new university application system on tuesday the government agreed to suspend its controversial fuel tax increase trying to appease thousands of protesters who've rallied across france in

denmark is a young swedish. young danish go with blonde hair i think i would have a problem with that i think many countries especially in the u.k. whether it's the discussion around people. like politicians might that might have stuck to directed in the honor university and we say well do we want these things do we want these. races tropes old colonial attitudes not inclusive attitudes people want to live in diverse multicultural blended societies nowadays and some of these old things we have to be prepared to look at them now. you're asking me about the fence i like simonis a metaphor and poetry and i don't have a problem the offense issue really no no i mean there's no link between denmark's ability to integrate people and this song this is a song that is hundred years old it's part of being a scorcher it's part of our cultural heritage and i think it's horrifying that we're now we have to erase our past you asking us to raise our past and our cultural identity to integrate people i don't really think this is
