Deeyah Khan : What we don't know about Europe's Muslim kids


Deeyah Khan at TEDxExeter  (transcript)
What we don't know about Europe's Muslim kids
Summary
I am one of the people who doesn't know about Europe's Muslim kids and that there is discrimination without places where black people live. I thought that white people and brown people are the same and some problems can be solved by education, living together, parents help, being famous, and kindness.  Furthermore, the speaker is beautiful thus I thought definitely that there was no discrimination against her, though, it's wrong.
There are communities where it's unacceptable and dishonorable for a woman to be involved in music, to be so present in the media, to marry or to be in relationships with people who she chooses, and also to divorce them. And then those become culture and honor. It means that girls and kids are forced to be married and abused based on honor. This is the norm and honor. Unfortunately and ironically, its young people’s feelings channel toward violence as terrorists.

The speaker realizes that she has been the same person for a long time. She started to use a camera and films to tell people those realities to help them. There must be a way that they can live happily and freely. The cycle must be stopped and a society that supports young girls and kids.
