Ferit Tuglaci wants to connect:
' the more bombs, the more brotherhood between Muslims and non-Muslims ' TILBURG-it is not a regular working day. He already knows that Ferit Tuglaci on Monday 16 november at the student walks into school where he teaches. It is the first school day after the attacks in Paris. School teacher Ferit Tuglaci: 36 years old, studied religious studies at Tilburg University. He is teacher humanity, Society and also religion teacher on high school. His goal was to stimulate the intercultural debate in Tilburg under 12-, 13-and 14-year-olds. Ferit Tuglaci on a Tilburg school with students under his wing, the acts of terrorism in France that Monday became the conversation of the day. "Students started right away discuss about what had happened. Muslim pupils had also about Beirut and about other Muslim countries where Isis has committed atrocities. There began to direct a conversation about terrorism, but also about religion. " Sturdy Ferit's son plays in the living room with color pencils. First, all of them in a backpack, then again all out. Dad makes coffee. Then we talk about the days ' after Paris ' on the couch. "First, the pupils still sturdy and said they are not to afraid. But if you talk on the question rises and they ask anyway. "" Can terrorists to Netherlands? Can you rule out that they attacks the Netherlands? When they ask that, I think by myself, how I am going to answer, I wasn't educated for this, it is tricky to answer this question. I let them questions first, then I know what's going on. Then I told that Isis consists of not even 0.0003 of all Muslims in the world. That Isis already has killed many Muslims. It is unfortunately with bombs that a small group makes much sound. " Back to that particular tricky question, can isis bring terror to the Netherlands? "Mr. Tuglaci ' as he is called, for its pupils would perhaps prefer resounding ' no ' answers. But he may not. "I have said that it is not excluded, But that they should not fool them self. Terrorists wants that you are afraid for them, that is their goal. The believe that the world will end tomorrow. With this reason it is important that you and I have no fear but the opposite and live our life, in the morning to work or school, coming in the evening safely at home. To the streets What was hardest blow of the terrorists in the eyes of Tuglaci? "The more bombs, the more brotherhood between Muslims and non-Muslims. You can stay home and be anxious and lose this fight, go demonstrate to the streets and a send a different message than the terrorists. People of different nationalities and religions coming together and not allow Division. " Tuglaci was one of the initiators of a meeting which in Tilburg a few days after the attacks in Paris was organized. By people of all ages and different backgrounds was there stood still at the atrocities. " It is a good signal, with former classmates I want to try to bring people together." The same god, the same name Tuglaci so as a teacher and as a human being who wants to connect. In addition, also Muslim and father of a cute toddler. A man with ideals, but not free from fear. "After the attacks in Paris I thought first to the people who have died. But a few hours later came other thoughts: in what world is my child growing up? You should now see a mosque more often daubed or fired? My son will grow up in a society that is Islam phobic? We tend to forget it. With all good conversations with colleagues, friends and family that followed. " Ferit's message is clear: connection versus terror. "In the Koran is in the third chapter, verse 34 something that inspires. Jews, Muslims and Christians invited to with a common word God to worship. To him with a new Word. That is important, stress that there is a shared denominator. " Omroep Brabant portrays this week that not only at home at the kitchen table, but outside thinking about the recent attacks in Paris, but also in the workplace. This is episode 2 in that series.
