ارسل لي الرجل مقالا طويلا ارفقه لك مع هذه الرسالة وهو جزء من مقالات عديدة وطويلة حول الوضع الجاري.
اعلم ايضا ان الدانمارك قد اثارت ذعرنا وغضبنا بشأن اقتراحات سعت الحكومة لتبنيها فيما يخص الاجانب مما ادى لتحرك مئات من منظمات مناصرة الاجانب في اوربا كلها. واذكر من هذه الاقتراحات اجبار الاجانب على الدمج الاجتماعي ومنع الجيل الثاني من الزواج الا اذا بعد السادسة والعشرين وجملة هذه الاقتراحات تصل الى 14 ومن بينها منع لم الشمل العائلي.
اذكر اننا طالبنا المفوض الدانماركي بتوضيحات في الشأن الا انني لم اتابع مع اللجنة المذكورة وتركت الموضوع الى الشبكة الاوربية لمكافحة العنصرية.

Ethnic minorities and their integration
in Denmark!
Bashy Quraishy
Member, Advisory Board for Ethnic Minorities
Member , Danish Commission for Ethnic Equality.
Ethnic Minorities in Denmark and their integration in the society is an ongoing discussion.This subject in my opinion, is applicable, not only to Denmark, but also equally to all other European countries, where ethnic minorities have made their homes, in the past 50 years or so.
Whether these problems are socio-economical, political or cultural, these are identical in their nature and substance. We have noticed that when the Danish politicians and authorities talk of integration, they are principally refering to people from the Origional World. Areas like the African Continent, the Middle East and Asia where civilizations have their cradel. People who are non- white, non- european, have strong sense of identity and who refuse to submit to the unreasonable demands of the Danish society are specially targeted. Nowadays, there are discussions taking place in almost every political and social debate forum regarding the presence of the ethnic minorities in Denmark. Whether these discussions are being held in Parliament or in the street, by intellectuals or by common people, they usually end up raising more questions than giving some concrete answers.
During the last 15 years I have had the opportunity to work closely with the black and ethnic minorities in Denmark and to study the problems they are facing.
Some of the questions which are often raised by the Danes are;
1.Why do people from the origional world specifically want to come to Denmark in search of a new life ?
2.What purpose does this migration serve ?
3.Should Denmark close its doors and raise barriers along its borders?
4.Does the presence of ethnic minorities endanger the Danish culture and identity?
5.Should minorities be integrated or segregated?
Compared to these complex theoretical questions, ethnic minorities find themselves asking two very basic questions;
Are we welcome to stay her , be accepted,respected and allowed to live in peace here?
And if so, under which conditions and on whose terms.
With a Black-Danish background I am not in a position to answer the questions native Danes should answer. I would however relate to the last two questions, usually asked by minorities.

الجزء الثاني:
But first, a brief history og migration.
From 1945 until the middle of the 70's, particularly during the rapid expansion of the industry, which took place between 1960 and 1975, the import of cheap labour power was a marked feature of all industrial Western countries. Employers were looking for flexible labour units.Temporary foreign workers matched this requirement. Denmark was no exception in this regard. From 1965 til today it has also allowed small populations of migrant workers from other countries and later refugees to come and settle. These people were called guestworkers in the beginning, but contrary to the expectations of the majority society they stayed and became immigrants. According to the latest data, there are 220.000 foreign people living in Denmark from 166 different nations. In addition to that, we have 60.000 foreigners with Danish citizenship. Recent arrival of refugees from Ex-Jugoslavia amounts to 20.000. It is worth remebering that nearly 40 % of the foreigners in Denmark come from Scandinavia,
the EU and OECD. These people are not considered a problem or a minority by the Danish state or public. The other 60% come from out side Europe.
All in all 150.000 people with a non-European background live in Denmark. Most of them have actively tried to become a part of Danish society, inividually or as a group. Our experience is that the integration into Danish society has failed, and I may add, failed miserably.One may ask: Why ?
There are many answers to this question. May be as many, as there are cultural sociologists, anthropologists and politicians.
But seen through my brown eyes, the commonly spread eurocentric ideas in the Danish society - that is, the idea that the European form of civilisation is the only true civilisation, will not allow the ethnic minorities equal access and opportunity in the Danish society, regardless of the command of Danish language and other qualifications. Some individuals among the minorities have managed quite well in Danish society and feel accepted in a protected environment. Unfortunately they are the exception and not the rule. This accept of the individual depends on certain conditions to be fullfilled, such as his og her willingness to give up the original cultural identity, take distance from ones own religious beliefs, combined with a good education and relatively good command of the Danish language. A light colour of skin and a humble attitude towards the majority helps a great deal.
As a collective ethnic group it is much harder to become integrated, because the ethnic characteristics are much more visible than those of the individual. Our analysis shows that the ethnic minorities in Denmark, who have certain common connections with the majority, such as colour of skin, geographical connections and religion, adapt and are accepted more easily in the Danish society, sometimes even quite painlessly. One can call it a succesfull process of integration and it applies to groups like Poles, EU-citizens and Scandinavians.
But when it comes to ethnic minorities who are essentially different from the majority, as with Africans, Turks, Pakistanis or Marroccans the process of adoption takes another route.
This process is still incorrectly called integration, but in reality it is a process of segregation or even desintegration.This is what the black and ethnic minorities face today in Denmark and other European countries.
The ethnic minorities today are being discriminated on all levels of society. 55% of the ethnic minorities are unemployed compared to 12% Danish national average. The Danish law still does not protect minorities from discrimination on the job-market. The second generation of minorities with an excellent command of language and high qualifications from Danish institutions, can not even get as far as a job interview, let alone find a job. They are also refused entrance at many dance halls and discoteques. Ethnic minorities are routinely given bad, expensive housing in socially deprived areas. Many political parties are suggesting the spreading of minorities in the housing areas through quotas. Århus city council´s recent proposals are a good example.
The same is happening in schools where many councils already practice illegal spreading of the minority children to different public schools, in spite of the free choice of local schools laid down in the law. Some politicians have suggested taking away the right of minority childern to learn their mother tounge in schools, a right guaranteed by international human rights conventions and EU directives. The police, the airport authorities, social services, hospital personals, business companies, and tax offices practice open discrimination without the slightest hesitation. This socio- economical marginalization is diminishing the will and motivation among ethnic minorities. Many among them, especially the youth, are turning their backs to the Danish society in despair and in protest.
Though the real ethnic minorities only make up 2% of the Danish population, they get a lot of negative attention in the Danish media. The debate is often emotional and depends on the waves of the public feeling, lacking objectivity and balance. The discussions and the political decisions in the Danish society take place without the involvement of the minorities.
Let´s look at the word integration and see what it means?
The term integration comes from latin, inté - gratus and means a wholeness, where the single parts retain a relative independence. According to the New Webster´s dictionary it means "To make up or to complet as a whole, to bring together parts into a whole. The American Encyclopedia describes integration as "A process which brings different cultures and races together, and is based on equality, justice and equal protection under the law."
These descriptions are the ultimate ideals of integration that a democratic and humane society can aspire to.
But when we look at the Danish society and the way it wants minorities to integrate, it rather reminds me of a huge machine, where all the ethnic groups enter from one end, with all their different cultures, religions, norms, traditions, historical backgrounds, social understandings and economical status. Then the door to the machine is closed. Different buttons with labels such as Danish culture, Danish traditions, Danish mentality and especially, one enormous button labelled "The Danish language" are pressed. The machine starts.The people get mixed, bleached and brainwashed, and finally a whole new bunch of Danes roll out on the conveyor belt. A bottle of bear in one hand, a Danish flag in the other, and shouting the Danish national anthem.
الجزء الثالث:
A unique tranformation alá Michael Jackson.
Sometimes I really wish that such a machine existed. At least this way all our troubles would disappear. But since we live in the real world , we have to deal with it as such.
The ethnic minorities in Denmark have gone through different phases during the past 30 years in Denmark.
First phase started in the late sixties and lasted up until the mid seventees. In this phase ethnic minorities found themselves very isolated. They were invited to do dirty, heavy, low paid jobs, which no dane would touch and through their own efforts they did find such jobs. But at this stage they did not know the dansih language, norms of the society, its cultural traditions or how the different institutions functioned. It was very difficult for them to find their way around in a highly industrial developed and functional society. Thus they felt insecure and were dependent on the goodwill of the majority . Even if the danes were rather friendly and helpfull in the beginning, they treated and considered people from 3.world countries as merely exotic entities and not equals as human beings.
The second phase started in the mid seventees and lasted until the mid eighties. We can call it, the adjustment phase. Here the minorities began to stand on their own feet. By then they had brought their families, had learnt a little bit of the language, found housing, however poor it was and their children started schooling. By that time they had also started moving socially in the mainstream society, thus breaking the isolation and moving towards the individual participation in Danish society. By that time however the unemployment in Denmark started rising dramatically due to the oil crisis and other factors. This had a devastating effect on the ethnic minorities because they were the last ones to be hired and the first ones to be fired. At this time the unemployment among the minorities reached 30 % compared to 8% among danes. This loss of contact with the labour market deprived minorities any further chances of active participation in society. For many danes, it was at this stage that the ethnic minorities stopped being a positive economical factor in society and became a liability. All of a sudden Danish public, politicians and media started taking a negative interest in the ethnic minorities, labelling them as a problem.The Danish authorities began putting demands on minorities to learn the language, something they did not bother about earlier, to adopt Danish culture and traditions, upgrade their qualifications and in general to become invisible.
The word integration has now become a magical word in the public debate and in all governament programs. In reality it is not integration but a strong demand for a wishful assimilation.It is sad to point out that a large part of Danish society still takes no interest in the collective living conditions of the ethnic minorities. The last ten years have been most painfull. First because the ethnic minorities have realised that the Danish society has never fully accepted their existance as a permanent and equal part of Danish society. Second because the Danish society is trying to force an asimilation process onto the ethnic minorities, without understanding one basic fact. As long as Danish public holds on to their euro-centric beliefs, they will never accept a non-Danish, non-white, non-christian person as an equal member of Danish society.
All the offical integration policy papers and reports and laws only speak of integration in terms of learning the Danish language and adopting the Danish culture. This means that the whole burden of integration is put on the shoulders of the ethnic minorities thus releaving Danish society of any responsability for the very concrete socio-economical problems it has created for the minorities. When the Danes talk of equal rights and equal responsabilities for everybody living in Denmark, they forget the most important aspect of mutual integration,namely the provision of equal opportunities, and protection of these rights under the law.
Unnecesary demands and exclusion from jobs, housing and education are forcing the minorities to the outer edge of society, where they find them selves isolated .
Let us now look at how the ethnic minorities themselves think of and describe integration. Many among the ethnic minorities are very resentfull towards the idea of integration. One can ask why? Well, because the society is asking them to renounce the value of their own cultures, family system, religious practises, the importance of their own languages, their ethnic identities and subjugate to the norms of majority society, which bases its values solely on Danish norms. We often hear the phrase "While in Rome, do as the romans do". My answer to this is .
" I would like to do as Romans do, but what, if the Romans won't let me do what they do "? By the way, Romans, had a nasty reputation of being slavemasters and dictators. So I would say that it is a lousy advice.
I do not understand that a society which speaks so much of democracy, humman rights and individual freedom, all of a sudden changes around its moral standards when it is confronted with the problems of ethnic minorities.
I am fed up being lectured on those Danish values that the Danes themselves do not ophold and practice.
If this society really wishes a two-ways integration it must stop demanding and start listening in order to lay the foundations for a fruitefull dialogue.It is imparative that the majority represen-tatives sit down with minorities and discuss with an open mind and an open heart, alle the problems it has created for the minorities and the problems minorities have created for them selves. Through these discussions, a consensus will appear which will help both parties to find ways to solve the problems and bring down the barriers against a mutual integration.
I believe that there are two ways to look at these barriers. From the majority point of view and from minorities side.
In order to achieve a succesfull integration, authorities have to show political will and moral courage to admit the actual structural and institutional racism that exists in the Danish society.
Denmark is slowly but surely denying us our basic human rights, our civil rights, and our social rights. We are being pushed into the margins of society - segregated and ignored.It is a common knowledge and experience also shows that multi-culturalism cannot work when the majority culture dictates and establishes the terms and conditions of integration, as is the case in Denmark now.
Actually, this so-called "integration" is no more than a "disintegration" of minorities with the terrifying results, like;
a rising crime rate among ethnic minority youths, a rise in alcohol consumption, an increasing divorce rate, more cases of domestic violence, wider conflicts between parents and children, a growing alienation from home countries, and signs of militancy in behavior towards the majority population and the power structure.True integration must come from both sides, with an underlying respect and acceptance of each other's way of doing things.
I also believe that there are certain basic rules of society that every one should follow. Minorities are no exeption to that.
Minorities should learn the Danish language, respect the laws of the land, have good neighbourly relations and accept certain aspects of the local culture.They should be able to choose the tempo and scale of adaption in the majority culture. This is as far as minorities should go. They have a right to retain their cultural values, food, clothes, literature, mother-tongue, and religions. Although to many Danes, this is not acceptable, there are however many instances, such as in the UK, France, and in Holland, where minorities live separately from the cultural norms of the majority society, and they function perfectly well.

الجزء الاخير. معليش المقال طويل جدا لكن فيه معلومات مهمة جدا
In contrast to popular Danish belief, the presence of these ethnic minorities poses no threat to the host nation's identity, culture or religion. This is true for a number of reasons;
1. Ethnic minorities are diverse and not a single entity.
2. Minorities inDenmark are not more than 3% of the whole population. It is an insignificant number.
3. Minorities have no power -- politically, militarily, economically, or socially.
4. Many Danes' sense of identity -- which has been shaped over many years by an ideology, glorifying what is white, Christian, and "culturally superior "to all and everything" -- is so deeply rooted in a Danish person's subconscious that it would be very difficult, if not impossible, to change, challenge, or destroy it.
5. Minorities very rarely challenge Danes on a cultural level. This, they know, is not the reason for their being here. They do not consider themselves cultural crusaders. For example, Muslims who constitute 70% of all ethnic minorities in Denmark, hardly ever propogate their religion publically. There activities are restricted among themselfes.
6. Denmark, with its technological advances, mass media monopoly, and economical superiority, is strong enough to withstand any crisis, any test it encounters.
If there is any challenge to a host eurpean nation's identity because of the presence of ethnic minorities, it could only be positive. By learning about and from ethnic minorities values -- for exp., family ties, respect for elders, hard work, social networking, strong religious beliefs, great hospitality, and pride in their own culture -- the host nation has an opportunity to rediscover the strength in its own "long-lost" values.
A very well known Danish politician, with a jewish background, Arne melchior once said in the parliament: "If a small percent of ethnic minorities has the ability to destroy a strong Danish culture, then perhaps this great culture is not worth keeping or preserving". It will be senseble that Danes come to terms with the fact that ethnic minorities are now firmly established, both culturally and organizationally in their midst. They have no choice but to accept some form of cultural pluralism for the foreseeable future. Policies based on political and cultural assimilation can no longer serve as effective forms of integration of the nation state. The de facto ethnic diversity and pluralism of Denmark requires new approaches and new thinking. Unless the bearers of public discussions, the intellectuals, council authorities, public figures, civil servants, politicians, religious leaders and the business community and the ethnic minorities living here invest in understanding and preserving common sense, we will build our future on a foundation of shifting sands. Within a couple of generations at the most, we will be forever lost as civilized people. We owe it to the coming generations and not least to the many caring people in Denmark who want to understand the problem and work towards a just society. It is the duty of those of us, who are previliged to do that which our means allow in an effort to preserve our human traditions so that we may all be positively aware of it. I know that for some minority intellectuals it is all too easy or desirable to turn their back to their cultural past on the basis that it is useless and cumbersome. Such minority intellectuals are very few and have their own personal reasons to assimilate, but their past associations - both cultural and political will catch up. The hostile society makes sure that the ivory tower in which those innocent intellectuals hide themselves falls.
Wealth, education and social standing do not protect a minority group or a member of this group from prosecution. Concealed cultural identity or descarded religious affiliation is no gaurentee that majority society will embrase you.
If the ethnic minorities are encouraged to feel more proud of their cultural heritage, maybe they would feel to open up and not feel the need to retaliate. Tolerance and openness which the society asks of the ethnic minorities - should be promoted by all, first and foremost the majority.
What is then the future of integration in Denmark for ethnic minorities ? I want to be honest and blunt with you. If experience is any yardstick to measure, then the future looks bleak.
To us, the ethnic minorities, the message is very clearly written on the wall in capital letters. It reads:
"Those of you who want to live here, be prepared to live like second-class citizens -- without equal rights and without equal opportunities. Otherwise, pack your bags and leave. And those who plan to come here, stay wherever you are!
I sincerely believe that there are people, movements and forces in Denmark who are concerned about their beautiful country, its great human values, its international reputation, its freedom-loving spirit, and its humanism. A Denmark of true peace and prosperity for all its inhabitants. Here, I want to feel safe when I v walk down the street.Here,I want to be able to move around without being stopped by the police just because of my colour. I want to go where I please without thinking of my ID checked.
I certainly want to be respected as fellow human being. I want my colour, religion, accent, cultural and ethnic background not to be seen and experienced as a hindrance, but instead, as a positive and enhancing contribution to the society I live in. The ethnic minorities and the progressive forces must join hands, and this cooperation must be above party politics, political ideology and human pity. We must work to build a Denmark -- a Denmark free of prejudices, a Denmark bubbling with tolerance and heart-felt openness.This can happen if Danish rational spirit mingles with the eastern philosophical soul, paving the way for a true understanding.
The Great lebanese philosopher and poet Khalil Gibran once said:
" Love is not looking at each other , but looking in the the same direction"
