A Female Muslim Activist in Denmark

Rania Ragai– Copenhagen, Denmark

Asmaa Abdul Hamid is a young Danish Muslim lady originally from Palestine. She is nominated in one of the political parties in the Danish parliament (Unity list: The Red-Green Alliance party). When asked why did she join that party in particular, she said it was the only party which accepted her as a veiled Muslim. I meet her in Denmark while I was in a summer school course. She is very representative and she is doing a very good job as a young Muslim lady in Denmark. She gave us a presentation on her party and her start. Later, we had a discussion with her. I thought it would be good to share these lecture and discussion with you. 
I hope you enjoy them: 
1. Asmaa's Presentation.
2. Asmaa's Discussion.

A brief about the Unity list: The Red-Green Alliance party which she belongs to:
The Red-Green Alliance is a democratic socialist party with the aim of combining politics for social change with politics for solving the great environmental problems both on national and international level. They are opposing privatization and fight for a public sector in which man are at centre, not money. That is why they for years have had a slogan saying "Man before Market" As a democratic party, they stand for the extension of human and democratic rights. They therefore oppose the US-led so-called "war on terror" which confines the above mentioned rights.
