MONDAY 28 September*** Curious Orange (primary program) ***
Muslims in the Netherlands may be getting a bad press these days, but all over Amsterdam they're trying to show people we're all the same. That is why community groups have been inviting people across the capital to join an iftar - the traditional meal served to break the fast each evening during Ramadan. But it's not all Kumbaya. We'll also hear about the row over a new tax proposal - for Muslim women wearing head scarves. And we'll play you a tune. This
week's feature music artist is the Horse Company.
