  • DOOD THEY FILMED THE WHITE CASSLE SCEEN RIGHT WERE I LIVE ITS IN CANADA AND ITS REAlLY A RESTURANT CALLED RALLY"S!

  • I can't wait to watch this movie. It looks wonderful. :)

  • awsome trailer cant wait to see the movie, and imagine...whtie castle with falafel sandwiches...mmmm

  • Very nice and cute movie.

  • also, this looks like a nice movie

  • youtube is not the place for political/serious/scientific/r­eligious/cultural debate - join a discussion group, go to an applicable forum, or write to newspapers -otherwise you are just wasting your tiiiiiime

  • i cant agree more.

  • I loved this movie. I saw it at the Calgary film festival.

  • Beautiful movie! Bravo!

  • looks nice!

  • n plz dont turn this into a religious argument cuz i can proove jesus is Lord through ur own Quran! n btw am a palestinian Christian! i know my Bible very well n also my country n history! and ur Quran!

  • palestinian christians were here faaaaaar long b4 islaam its self! when u guys cam 2 palestine we were here first! so if u want 2 talk abt how much we suffered we suffered much more! n yet we put both muslims n christians under palestine! while u always find a way 2 make us divide!! n still though u said wt u said i know ur just a bad example of ppl! most my friends r muslims n palestinian b4 anything n u r a no body, trust me palestine needs no one like u!

  • All this hatred coming from an avid Quran reader? Your "religion" must be the truth.

  • I am seeing this film TOMORROW!

    Based on this trailer, and Hiam Abass in it, I reckon this will be brilliant.

    Loved Hiam Abass in Lemon Tree and The Visitor, so I know she will be great in Amreeka too.

  • This is Amazing Movie !!

  • ur a fuckin idiot, ur the reason palestine is full of extremist, u cant let anyone express their view, u dont think palestinian christians have suffered watching their land being stolen and family members being killed, u think my father laughed when his uncle was shot by an isreali sniper, u dont think i have it hard a a modern day australian school were i have to deal with racism, FUCK U

  • mashaAllah!

  • Many people know islam is the truth? Where in the world are you savages not trying to take over? Go back home and pray to your moon god and go back to worshiping the all powerful meteor.

  • well,sadly, this shows me how ignorant you are. First of all we do NOT pray to moons,sun etc. You know, I've seen thes egroups called F*** Islam and I wanted to see just about how much information they have about the religion. Turned out, all the christians knew absolutely NOTHING about the religion.I don't expect you to know anything, for you have truly proved your utter ignorance. And you're not the only one.I've seen many people like you talk nonsense about Islam.

  • May he burn in hell (Mhbin)

    It should not come as a surprise that the word "Allah" was not something invented by Muhammad(Mhbin) or revealed for the first time in the Quran.

    The well-known Middle East scholar H.A.R. Gibb has pointed out that the reason that Muhammad(Mhbin) never had to explain who Allah was in the Quran is that his listeners had already heard about Allah long before Muhammad(Mhbin) was ever born (Mohammedanism: An Historical Survey, New York: Mentor Books, 1955, p.38).

  • Dr. Arthur Jeffery, one of the foremost Western Islamic scholars in modern times and professor of Islamic and Middle East Studies at Columbia University, notes:

    "The name Allah, as the Quran itself is witness, was well known in pre-Islamic Arabia. Indeed, both it and its feminine form, Allat, are found not infrequently among the theophorous names in inscriptions from North Africa" (Islam: Muhammad(Mhbin) and His Religion, New York: The Liberal Arts Press, 1958, p. 85).

  • sweeet i really like this one ;D

  • lol this movie looks great.. i want to see it.. seriously.

  • I'm still not quite happy with this movie, somethings were a bit off. First of all is when she says 'Palestinian Territory'and not just Palestine. Second, Palestine has been occupied for the past 61 years not 40 (which is just the west bank and gaza strip). Third, I'm not sure whether the director did it on purpose, but there is no such thing as 'jewish speaking' country. These are a few just to mention.

  • wow everyone's a critic lol just watch the movie and enjoy the story zsoudi

  • I did, didn't enjoy it too much, and a lot of the people in the theatre also didn't. I think it was targeted mostly for US or western audience. I am not being a critic, I am merely commenting as did everyone else.

  • I think you have some valid points, it's good to see someone point out the subliminal bias and or ignorance written into the film

  • what is the song that begins at 1:38? plz i need to know its sounds awesome

  • "Here With Me" by Jennifer O'connor :)

  • awesome movie!!

  • i just saw this today! it was hilarious and heartwarming!!

  • Comment removed

  • Going to a pre screening on the 22nd before it opens in Vancouver on the 30th. The clip and comments hear makes me think Amreeka is going to be a great movie.

  • HAhaahahahh!! omggg

    the girl that sais `fresh of the boat`` is in my class :P lol shes my friend

  • I'v seen this movie and its such a great movie! If you watch it, you'll love it. I also learned from this film how Palestinians and Armenian have so much in common, the food, culture, traditions. Then again, you have to see this movie, one of the best ones this year

  • I just saw this. Anyone knows how I can find the soundtrack? It had a great music. I loved the movie.

  • the best part was when she says"i am arabic "

    and he says "dont blow up.... " lol!!!!! that was funny

  • I can totally relate to this movie :)

  • HA me too !

  • me too finally a movie like this has come out!!

  • I saw this at the Calgary film festival. It was so well made.

  • Comment removed

  • great movie! found it quite funny :). i found a copy - eventually lol - at bigmovies4free - hope they make another :P

  • yeah. long live the USA.

    But hey why always do the movies show us as a dreamers of

    living in the USA.

    Not All of us have the such aim. USA may be a wonderful

    country to it's people but at the end WE like living in our

    countries MORE.

  • yay! alia shawkat! She is an amazing actress!

  • Finally; a movie from Muslims point of view; I've been waiting for something like this. I really hope North Americans will try to understand the stupid stuff some of us have to go through everyday. =/

  • Actually. It's a literal palestinian (or arab) point of view, not muslim. If you watch the movie, they are actually palestinian christians.

  • lol like every other race that America discriminates against. Its just that ever since the war and 9/11 Muslims are getting the same treatment as native americans, black people, Asians, and everyone else who isn't european.

  • I think this is a movie that has finally got it right. It looks really good. Too bad its not playing in New Orleans yet!

  • Im a muslim but I dont really see this sorta stuff around my area. Then again i live in CT the greatest piece of land (BESIDES PAKISTAN) SINCE Medina and Makka.

  • u see it in major citys

  • Comment removed

  • Mannnnnnnnnnnnnnn indeed a movie to watchhhh lol

  • This movie looks deep & hilarious at the same time.

    sign in front of White Castle: 'SUPPORT OUR OOPS', LOLOLOLOLOL, Brilliant

  • it seems like a movie we all should see...i will give it a go

  • shes from PALESTINE...theres a big diffrence between jerusalem which is isreal and palestine...dont mess em up

  • no dummie jerusalem is palestinian, its been under occupation for 40 years.

  • which is Palestinian land lol..............

  • actually she comes from jerusalem which has been occupied for forty years

  • actually palestine has occupided since 60 years not 40 years .. since 1948

  • So I"m guessing Jewish ppl won't go see this movie

  • lol

  • i can't wait to see this movie, it looks really great!

    uhh..it's not supposed to be funny -_-

    when and where is it coming out?

  • Usually Im not into these kinds of films but it looks interesting :]

  • see ppl think this movie is funny because of wat they say its not its sad how ppl treay diff races we should be all equal but other ppl differ but i think its great tho and i hate wen i see stuff like this movie cause it hurts how ppl get treated messin wit them cause of race im black so i kno how it feels ppl could jus be playin but some ppl take that seriously but good movie

  • just to make things clear , this is a real life situation I have personally ben in these situations and even worse especially when 9/11 happened OH LORD things turned 360 in the counterclockwise direction. but we as palestinians know how to handle ourselves well and know how to take care of others.

  • actually if u turn 360 ur back at the same spot i believe u meant 180 degrees,,,,didnt mean to be rude just wanted to clear that out,,,wish u all the luck,,brother

  • that's exactly what I meant, we came back to the same point after the economy crashed. I mean back in 2004-2005 we were having a blast in this country but then the market crashed and jobs became so unavailable we were screwed so bad that we had to hit a 360 degrees

  • I saw Amreeka finally after waiting so long. It was better than I expected. It is a MUST SEE film... extremely accurate, yet entertaining, and touching.

  • OMG i've got to watch this movieee!!!...it looks so funny....." u r fat in the middle like me" haha i luv that part

  • I can't wait to see this movie! It looks great!

  • Dying to see this movie. I am in Canada, how can I see it? Is it on DVD yet or limited release at theatres?

  • omg i totally love this movie its AWESOME and whoever hates it just doesnt get it b/c ur either not arab or palestinian! so dont be haten !! and omg i love how the mom call the lady fat at 1:10 LMAO

  • FREE PALESTINE!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • Why cant people just comment on the movie instead of going into politics and being racist?

    Anyway it looks pretty good

  • i want to like this movie but it's too corny for me.

  • Looks like a film that looks past the headlines, the politics and the straight up bullshit. Instead looks at what really matters at the end of all things: Family, friends and brotherhood.

    If you think otherwise and cannot see beyond the labels society puts on us. You need a new perspective on life. I will definitely check this out.

  • lol another sign of ignorance and not any self confidance good job going thrue life when you hate everyone... just know the people you hate, love you

  • wow ha ha arent you a paranoid person lol

  • For those of you who have seen this movie...Can anybody tell me if it gives a fair and balanced explanation of the Occupation of the Palestinian Territories, rather than just avoiding the subject or trying to point fingers at the Palestinians as the cause?

  • its a hard life for an immigrant because degrees aquired in other countries don't mean shit in America

  • this movie is so ture... " land of the free " bullshit more like be born here be catholic and a dickhead more like it because some ones different dosnt make it ok to fuck with them over it...

  • VERY good movie

  • whats the name of the song arund the end?

  • "Here With Me" by Jennifer O'Connor. :)

  • nice

  • looks good

    i feel bad for the boy

  • occupation, lol

  • Muslim propaganda?

    Your existence is blatant abortion propaganda tho...

  • lol wow real clever insult. what i mean is that it is another modern propaganda film. thats not always a negative thing its just like films where blacks and white become friends despite their parents or people of two different religions fall in love despite deeply religious families and all those kinda films that have little story and instead try and ram a moral or political message down your throat

  • "instead try and ram a moral or political message down your throat"

    That Muslims have a hard time in America because most people think they're blood thirsty monsters and in fact most of them just want the American dream.

    It seems to me that you are an ethnocentric idiot who doesn't understand the meaning of the word "propaganda."

  • it seems to me your a moron who thinks all muslims are a hated and mistrusted group of innocents struggling in america just because a few films say they are. in reality most are intergrated and americanised and lived perfectly happy and simple lives. that of course wouldnt make good film viewing so they make crap like this. grow up, dick

  • I will admit that most Americans don't think that Muslims are terrorists, only some very hateful Americans do. I miscommunicated, sorry for that. However, you are still a douche who doesn't know what the fuck he's or she's talking about.

  • lol- oh i'm talking to a moron then.

    i mistook you for someone with an actual point of view and brain but since you give no evidence as to why i'm wrong when i have given plenty as to why i'm right then your obviously a complete idiot.

  • I just watched this movie, and it was a wonderful movie. Very highly recommended.

    Funny thing is- the family this movie centers on is a Christian family.

    Muslim propaganda? I think not. Don't be so quick to throw out idiotic statements next time.

  • Thanks! I can't wait to see it

  • i am so sick of the stupid comment-battles ppl are holding here. its seems like one person in every two pages is actually talking about the MOVIE.

    which I personally cant wait to see. :)

  • So before seeing it I suspect it to be a family film with mostly happy moments and maybe about 10-15 minutes of why are they being mean to nice people. HAPPY ENDING THE END

  • Comment removed

  • I got goose bumps watching this:)!

    Im defiantly going to watch it.

    Looks Amazing!

    :)loll aN F O B!seems funny.

  • OMG this movie looks fantastic!! I can't wait to see it!! :)

  • movie looks interesting

  • just cuz some people are terrorists doesnt mean the whole race is seriously dude grow a brain

  • Islam isn't a race and i never claimed that.

  • Earlier on you said that The Prophet (PBUH) attacked Makkan Caravans.

    He never did. When he lived in Makkah, he was a trader and a part of their caravans and when he moved to Medina, the Ansaar looked after him. Your sources are clearly biased.

  • No you clearly don't know what you're talking about. Actually read the Qur'an and the hadith instead of pretending you have.

  • I actually Know what I am talking about. You just have no Proof thats all. You haven't provided any I noticed. I have studied Islamic History since I was 6yrs old. If anyone Here has any reason to misconstrue anything its you.

  • Out of Curiosity did you  read a genuine english Quraan with Explanation.

  • I've read the Qur'an and had my Muslim friend explain verses to me that he thought needed explaining.

  • The Qur'an and the hadith are the proof. Actually read your own holy scriptures, because you obviously haven't. You're probably one of those Muslims that claims to have read the Qur'an but has only read a small amount of verses.

  • I went to a muslim school. You aren't bringing Specific proof. Your friend is a muslim scholar ? A persons general explanation can't be accepted as proof. You have to state the chain scholars to prove the hadith is accurate. Otherwise its uncertain.

  • What do you mean I haven't brought specific proof? Google all my claims and it will show the direct versus for all of them. The hadith is the second holiest book in Islam.

  • There are several Books of Hadith by several different scholars.

  • The Prophet had an intriguing relationship with Quraish (Makkans).

    He was their Family and at the same time, their enemy.

    They respected him but at the same time they hated him.

    They tried to kill him but at the same time entrusted him to look after their valuables and they reguarded him as the most truthful person in Makkah yet they didn't belive in his message (at first).

  • Which innocents?

    The Quraish accepted Islam after the Conquest of Makkah. They were not forced to do so.

  • The conquest of Makkah is the Prophet (PBUH) greatest miracle, an entirely bloodless invasion. His strategy was a smart one, he blocked all the exists and surrounded the town. Then he traveled to the center of the town And promised safety to all those who remained in ther houses and places of worship. When Abu Sufiyan, the chief saw his mercy, he acceped Islam.

  • When people refer to the Hadith they refer to all the books of "tradition".

  • There are some uncertain ones. Most people when quoting hadith name their source,scholar or book they are refering to. That way the authenticity can be verified.

  • my mo is just like that. she's like as long as you live here u live in haiti! i'm like dude :|

  • Comment removed

  • bravewarrior52 , You call Your self a Christian? You are alone in this world!

  • yeah osaama bin laden jas for amerika is the best for killing

  • zetsway5000 : after I've read more than 7 pages of your comments I knew who is the hatred one, u just don't want to listen and only sticked to ur opinions, I think that the discussion now doesn't worth since that it doesn't reach the best result .. peace !!

  • Everything I've said were facts about Islam. you can deny the facts all you want but if you actually read your own holy books you would know that they're true.

  • i like the preview and im excited for the film. Finally something worth watching.

  • looks like a really good movie

  • learn to spell pathetic before you actually comment and please, watch the movie first before judging it. just a suggestion. actually scratch that, michael bay probably has something that might be to your comprehension.

  • I think I am gonna watch this, it looks good.

  • wooow what great country america is!

    seems like you only have to go there and be happy forever aye???

    wake up and grow up people!

  • Its a nice movie with a nice message. So, just be nice to each other. have a nice day~

  • Beautiful Movie! I would fucked any bitch up who would tell me, "Please, don't blow up the place." What a fucking dumb ass. Terrorists never meant to hurt anyone and themselves. Who started the whole thing!? AMERICA of coarse! Fucking ignorant ugly ass people. Not all of them are Terrorists and bad. Yes, they're Arab Muslims but that doesn't mean they'll blow up themselves or your precious house. Ahh! The day the Middle East will be free that'll be the day I'll stop cussing! L0l =] Lame I know.

  • jihad does not involves killing innocent people....those people you called terrorist is an extremist...and they did not represent islamic view in the real jihad..so stop blaming islam...

  • You do realize, that we have the same stories. Don't you? and you call yourself a christian? Go read the Bible and see what god told you to do. He never said you should talk trash about other religions.

  • Wow! I like what you said! Thank you.

  • Your welcome, I guess the other person was older. So they took the 9-11 thing pretty hard, or something. : ]

    Peace.

  • Fuck you we do not know who is a terrorist or nor so we assume they all are.

  • It's clear that you are an idiot. But I don't assume all Americans are idiots.

  • We aren't, we really aren't.......not all atleast...

  • You happen to be one of the most retarded people I have ever had the misfortune to read a comment from. Your fucking disgusting!

  • Again, cant attack the argument so you attack the person?

  • and what do you think that person is doing by stating that all muslims are terrorists? He's racially attacking them over something that alot of them had no idea or control of. I had a friend who was the same way when she stated that Obama can't be a good person because he is muslim. I said to her what if it was a crazy group of chrisitans that pulled off 9/11 as a major sacrifice to God. Then fuck it, all christians must be evil and should be burned at the cross? Sounds retarded right?

  • When did I ever say that all Muslims are terrorists? I said the majority of terrorists are Muslims and that an undeniable fact. Also, we can play the what if game all you want but it wasn't christian terrorists that did 911 it was Muslim terrorists.

  • Ok. I'm a little confused, because the person who I commented on clearly stated that "all muslims were terrorists". I clearly presented that in my rebuttal when I stated "he's" and not "you" attacking...." and I don't give a flying fuck about "what if's", my opinion is that it's just common sense to know that not all muslims are terrorists. It takes one hell of a dumbass to assume that.

  • Again, point me to the comment where I assumed all Muslims were terrorists, you wont find it because I never said it. Read more carefully.

  • No, the one who needs to read more carefully is you. Like I wrote before, I never said it was you who stated that comment. Density really hit you hard.

  • No you assumed it was me when you replied to me.

  • you are a true loudmouth, sheesh

  • You know what. I'm gonna stop this back and forth bullshit, because the perosn who I commented on clearly stated that "all muslims were terrorists", that's when I retaliated with my statement. I remember reading your comment on "it's a fact that not all muslims are terroritsts are muslims but most are" and I really didn't find it. So I don't know if I hit respond to you by accident or what, but the point is, that it had nothing to do with you as I clearly told you before, so get the fuck over it

  • That's an outright lie, I said not all Muslims are terrorists but most terrorists are Muslims which is a fact.

  • Are you fucking stupid? or are you just pulling my leg. If you actually read everything and not what you just want to read, I clealy stated that you said "not all muslims are terrorists, but most are." You're just repeating yourself back and forth and making it seem like I'm attacking you.

  • Because you have, and are attacking me. You said you recall me saying something I didn't, and I pointed out that you're a liar.

  • Did you even read what i wrote? I never claimed you said that.

  • "I remember reading your comment on "it's a fact that not all muslims are terroritsts are muslims but most are""

    Read what you post.

  • You're such a dirty little fucking pig! You're so fucking humiliating! Alright fucker next time you assume maybe you'll be blown to fucking death! & all of you stop fucking replying to me! Get a fucking life & do something for a change instead of commenting people on Youtube & talking shit! I'll bet you anything none of you fuckers would say shit to me in person! Only I wish one of you did! I can't believe I'm commenting this on Youtube but I have to because all of you need to SHUT THE FUCK UP!

  • The Sand People are easily startled but they'll soon be back, and in greater numbers.

  • wow im going to watch this movie. it is really hard to come to a new country and adopt the language. not only that kids in school made it even harder lol, but i cant blame them. God bless America.

  • Come to America!!!

  • looks like a good move

  • Looks genuinely heartwarming

  • It's nice to see a immigration movie that doesn't have them having professional athleticism as a crutch.

    Should be good.

  • This is absolutely beautiful. Exactly how my family was treated. Hopefully now, we can all see that we are no different.

  • Agreed

  • Cantt waitt fo the moviee to come outttt.. the kidss hott !!!!!!
