Iman Rabeh:"Danes are welcome to come to Gellerup ... and be together with us... The value is the fellowship, that we all speak the same language, that we stick together, also my neighbor - all my neighbors are Arabs, if they're not Arabs, they're Lebanese, if they're not Lebanese, they're - we have that love for each other, that you are Arab - I am Arab, we can speak together, we can discuss everything, we come from other countries. Mikkel Krause: But what does it mean for you, to come from Gellerup-park, also to be Iman from the ghetto, rather than Iman from Vejlby, or wherever else you might come from.
It means everything. Because if I move to a Danish neighborhood, it won't mean as much to me, because to know the language is one thing, but also, the Danes in general, they're not like us, they - in everything, we have different traditions, we have different - also, we are different, and there's a difference in our way of thinking. Also the neighbors, if we were now to loan some things from the neighbors, we do it. It's just in general, in everything, that you're Arab, I'm Arab, we give some things to each other, it doesn't matter."Read the rest here.
