the outskirts of a northern city is the backdrop of a beautiful play entitled exotic buff: Synagocyty . The one-act (author Gabriel Vacis Aran and Kian) is the grotesque narrative and ruffled integration failed, but even failure, of an Italian citizen afflicted with a difference that has assaulted a boy: her skin, which did not take the Roman mother, has the olive color of the father , an immigrant from Iran. At school, the teacher called him Gaddafi and older comrades laughed at him. Looks of suspicion on the part of strangers and derision from friends, some attention distracted by girls and then "hello". Poised between depression, resignation and rebellion crushed, foreign country, the young second-generation Muslim responded, he studied and made a commitment. But he has never taken off. For redemption, all that will remain the hope of the child on the way, a small Italian third generation. Then we'll see. The show, played by the same Aram Kian, remembers having fun and commotion that harassment and discrimination are hard to die. Around this theme of the children of immigrants followers of Allah, we held a conference in Turin, the Circle of Readers: Muslims 2G - rights and duties of citizenship of the second generation of Muslim youth . The liveliest interest the rise to the direct testimony of young children of immigrants, born and raised in Italy, among many social problems and cultural difficulties between living and the transformation of society Italian marked by immigration, labor is a definitive step towards the recognition of a citizenship that defines their identity. Their hope, nourished by time, is to be able to say "My country is the constitution." Only then can claim a constitutional protection that is lacking today.
In Italy we have developed a project of cultural integration, as in the Netherlands and France: we have been unable to understand a social phenomenon, which continues to be seen only in the perspective of public policy and work. According to the Association of Young Muslims of Italy (GMI), religion is not a barrier. Italy is
a country they love but they are foreigners without feeling such. How to avoid that they feel suspended between the world of origin and of adoption?
Dear politicians - will recommend the Italian speakers - you should have more interest in resolving the conflicts that raise them. Social change must take place in the short term, because in the long run we are all dead. " Yassine LaFrame. He was born in Casablanca 24 years ago. Thirteen he moved with his family in Italy. He holds a diploma in business administration and graduated in Literature and Philosophy. He promoted many associations dealing with reality of immigrants' children. And member of the National Association of Young Muslims of Italy.
"No academic discourse - his debut - only talk of everyday life and problems confronting young Muslims in Italy. They are young and live the same social problems of their Italian contemporaries. But with the addition of conflictual identity problems due to different cultural and religious baggage. Arab Muslims and Europeans, including couscous and polenta, live intergenerational conflicts. Do not know where to place them. They have something extra, but the community demands a closeness to the origin and the country of adoption of a temporary assignment. "This Treaty of Italians?", The official asks you to examine a residence permit. If vague answer to this question "So far we talked in Italian, "the officer is offended by an alleged insolence." University of Bologna, where he went to a meeting request, the concierge told him: "If I leave a name in Italian, we will contact." More in Bologna, where he went for an examination, the girl have a "Where are you from?" She asks ", Turin. But the home is Moroccan. " "But how can you speak good Italian," "You too, however, is the deserved response. "Do you want to study? they say. "But you have to be good, if you are not sent home." "Meanwhile, we survive with permits Seating is limited. Ten months of waiting to get seven of validity.
Inside there are Senegalese immigrant communities, in Indonesia, the Maghreb: Muslims are different. Missing is an elite prepared. Who has a social and economic level is not about a center. "We should act as a bridge" Yassin added. "But there is no balance between the two sides. The families of these peers keep their children away from the association. There is fear and suspicion, fear of ending up in the newspapers in the front row and did not submit necessary "are Italian." And then resign, or as in England, where the only Ambition is possible to become a leader in your community. "
"In 1998, when my father took me to school advised:" Say hello always, always say thanks and do not eat pork. " Then he gave up. I bear a responsibility assigned early and without a reference point. We come from a disadvantaged environment, we find it hard to weave mosque speeches and ask, cemeteries, with a broader discussion for our community. Okay the place of Islam, but the discussion should be broader. Obtain citizenship, you do, quit? provided on the indigenous reality. "
Kalid Chaouki, 26, recently married and with a baby small, it is detached by the Association, while maintaining good relations and sharing its proposals. "I felt the need to go. Risk of being seen as a weed in isolation. Okay maintain the integrity of their identity, but then the risk is that you get used to this way of dealing with society and lose the opportunity to be part of it alive and real. Their sociality is needed also outside, sit down without too much on this self-reference. It is likely to accumulate a series of discrimination and biases. To put it in a party I joined, I started a new phase at the national level with the position of Immigration Officer. I understand that we need outside influence bringing its story to the political level. Without that, especially in Italy, you can not change. Even our community need a reference point that provides the bridge will bring a speech just, balanced and realistic. But it is time to invest more on individuality, to emerge in a position to fight with authority figures, we need to look for spaces, not on religion but on their core competencies. " There is a speech
background and values \u200b\u200bwhich must be taken into account: the universality of rights, secularism, constitutional. The majority have no right to decide on minorities. These are the foundations of civilized life. And then the school. A school teach religious sciences.
comes the turn of Fatima Zagara Habibeddine. Wear the veil, which details in this conference is now considered to be negligible, has beautiful eyes that keeps low, but that dart tip when the eye. "Something for the integration was done, he says. But not enough. Education, health, citizenship is lacking. Who comes and takes a course of study must live a precarious standing. Need to focus more energy on this point, which means construction of a common path. The second generation, says Fatima, are not integrated and now we are saying the same things. Within the community there is little confidence and enthusiasm. The difficulties parry it every day. A women and men often mortified to be given the opportunity to live by Italian citizens. We must eliminate ignorance, prejudice, fanaticism and fundamentalism in particular not to be confused with immigration. It is better to break away from the current political debate, but the issue will be addressed. You have to find the right space and time. The nationality is not a matter of years, but jus solis. " Fatima has a strong personality, and forcefully argues that different communities can live in harmony in the same territory. But for this we need an education to stay together, both of whom are, both of whom welcomed. Without preparation, you create conflict and discrimination. In the Association the young woman deals with communication and leadership training courses. He speaks perfect Italian. In London, where she lives, she enrolled in a Master's economy in the European School of Managemebnt. "The climate of tension goes off, but little was done to remove the reasons he says. In practice, it feeds the frustration. The discrimination in access to employment, the house survived. We are committed to defending traditional values, but you must ensure that there will be no more incidents which have seen a very serious and not isolated facts, which have no basis in Islam. The company is ahead of politics, why bother with that hinders integration does not generate consensus. "To these young people who have energy and fresh ideas have been addressed applause and encouragement. "The world is full of bridges, it has been said in closing. Just be willing to follow them. "
