Transcripts
cuando pasó a un atentado siempre y por
lo menos yo personalmente tengo
dobles-dobles sentimiento el sentimiento
este de que haya pasado algo horrible
pero al mismo tiempo tengo miedo pánico
a ir a trabajar día siguiente por los
comentarios que voy a oír
[Música]
un hombre una vez el último último
atentado que hubo el de barcelona en la
calle me dijo vete a tu país que aquí ya
habéis hecho mucho daño
siempre está la bromita de amigos esto
nos lo dicen los propios amigos bueno no
te moles
no hay que callarse hay que levantarse
contra ellos han hecho mucho más daño
para la humanidad pero sobre todo más
para los propios países islámicos
todos
luego del fuenlabrada y claro continúan
de dónde eres pero de dónde eres yo
busco madrid pero de dónde eres de dónde
son tus padres y lengua vale vale ay si
mis padres mis padres de libia y mi
madre del sáhara
[Música]
mis identidades se suman una a la otra y
hacen un plus nunca restan por eso lo
nunca digo ni que soy marroquí ni que
soy español
[Música]
si estás en españa tienes la residencia
es español y deberías poder disfrutar de
la plena ciudadanía
yo creo que aquí no hemos visto esa
esfera política de extrema derecha como
lo hemos visto en francia o en holanda
no donde salen partidos políticos en
contra de los musulmanes así de manera
muy cruel los niños que nacen aquí y que
se sienten de aquí tuvo una persona que
siempre le está diciendo eres de fuera
es de fuera eres de fuera no lo estás
aceptando termina por no sentirse cómodo
en la sociedad en occidente no se dan
cuenta que la sociedad árabe es material
tal mucho más de lo que se imaginan y
hay una cosa
que tiene mucha gente en mente que la
mujer árabe es una mujer sumisa y lleva
el pañuelo dice sí al marido en todos
los sentidos
y digo estas porque no entra en una casa
de árabes la mujer árabe no se puede ver
como la mujer árabe cada mujer es un
mundo o sea árabe o no después es una
persona única voy a vivir un innova sis
vivir en una jaima andar en camello si
son preguntas que mandan de la pura
ignorancia esos estereotipos no de
hombre bárbaro violador homófobo
y mujer sumisa
inculta
pues yo creo que eso se va a disipar
nunca seguido por la sociedad española
en concreto y apartada si es entre
alguna vez algún tipo de rechazo ha sido
siempre por mi propia comunidad que no
me ha visto
digamos identificada con los roles que
ellos esperaban de una mujer musulmana
en españa porque todavía hay gente que
le choca ver a una mujer musulmana
empoderada ellos nos llaman a los
originarios del magreb magrebís o
argelino sub marroquíes o turnitin sino
muros o cuando encienda la televisión
cuando cuando entró en las redes cuando
veo las noticias en la terminología ahí
es donde yo personalmente me siento
discriminada puesto que no soy una
persona tampoco a la que se le lea como
árabe no veis que los niños de tu edad
están insultando te preguntándote porque
tienes el pelo así porque tienes otro
color y excluyendo de esa manera pues
claro te sientes mal porque tú también
eres una niña o un niño pero cuando
creces ves que no es que ellos lo digan
porque sea algo con lo que nace sino
porque es algo que han escuchado solo
con el tiempo pues crezcan y se den
cuenta de que no es así de que no puedes
excluir a alguien por su tono de piel
los medios de comunicación
tienen que cambiar el término del
terrorista o terrorismo islámico no es
terrorismo islámico en las series de
televisión en las películas y hay que
dejar de dar los papeles de los
terroristas a las personas de origen
marroquí o musulmán y es lo que hará que
vean a una mujer musulmana en el autobús
y no la miren de manera extraña sino que
la vean como parte de nuestra nuestra
cultura de nuestro ideario de nuestro
diario
solo los que nos separan es el 2 o el 3%
porque tengo que poner el dedo en la
yaga en estos tres y no podemos unirnos
el 97% que nos une
