00:30Excuse me, are you the imam?

00:37No, we are not imams, we are like you.

00:41What does imam mean?

00:43He is the imam of Bologna, we have never seen him.

00:47Excuse me, what do you do in the mosque?

00:50In the mosque?

00:51Yes.

00:52But the faith is something...

00:53No, tell me, I asked you a question.

00:55What do you do in the mosque?

00:57Are you nervous?

00:58No, I am calm.

01:14On the road, every day, when you get on the bus,

01:16you feel like you have to shave,

01:18it's an Arab face,

01:20you feel the tension

01:22and you start to think that everyone is looking at you

01:25with one look rather than another

01:27and they are afraid that you are a potential attacker.

01:31I don't want to be perceived as a different person,

01:35because my land is Italy,

01:38my reference point when I am in a third country is Italy,

01:43is Bologna.

01:57Bologna, Italy

02:18At first, I didn't want to work here,

02:21because I didn't like the situation in Bologna,

02:24I didn't know what to do.

02:28maybe in all of Italy,

02:29but not only in Bologna.

02:31When I arrived, I didn't know what to do,

02:33I had to go to the newspaper,

02:35there were a lot of problems.
