Firefighters told the Saudi press that morality police forced girls to stay inside the burning building because they were not wearing the head scarves and black cloaks known as abayas that women must wear in public. One Saudi paper said the The Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice (Mutawa'een) stopped men who tried to help the girls escape the flames, stating, "It is sinful to approach them."
Fifteen schoolgirls are burned to death Friday, 15 March, 2002
Hijab an old pre-Islamic practise to humilate and enslave women by Arab males > Islam could not change this so Muhamamd and his Arabic Quran kept this mainly to protect MUhamamd's many wives from the gaze of his men. This became a pillar of submission another word for slavey in Islam and Arabs use religion to colonise non-Arabs and spread ignorance and salvery in the communities colonised culturaly by Islam.
Hijab was invented by prehistoric men living in cooperative, male-dominated tribes. They learned that you could prevent your woman from having sex with other men by veiling your woman and keeping her inside the cave. This ensured your bloodline was intact (a strong biological urge).
Descendants of these ape-like tribal animals (the human race), some of them have gotten accustomed to being veiled and now feel naked without it.
Thanks for this documentary. After converting I kept wondering why the issue of hijab was brought up before I had even read the Sunnah or regularly practiced Salat. Plus MEN are alway trying to advise us. Let's hear from scholarly women - Islam promotes women to pursue education.
Thankyou for appreciating it, and for appreciating what is perhaps missed by most people blinded by prejudice, that this documentary is about Muslim women by Muslim women who believe in their rights and in education.
my problem is not the Hijab but with the men screaming about how woman shouls cover but when I go to a mall or any other outside gathering I see muslim woman covering and the man you cant even tell if he is muslim or not isay if muslim woman cover than the man must grow a beard and wear something to distinguish him as a muslim
a bit hard to be a beholder straining to see what someone looks like.....if you're trying to hide from people, then yes, it's complicated when you talk about "eyes".
And if you're not talking about "eyes" then I'll assume westerners can say that walking around "half naked" as you muslims so emotively like to speak of western women, has nothing to do with their "looks" and everything to do with "what's inside".....can't have it both ways.
perhaps they're not ugly, true....but the scarf makes them ugly...not the pretty floral ones but the drab black and brown plain things that hang like tablecloths. those ones.
so you don't mean ALL of the media, just SOME of the media. Media is media, it's all one big melting pot, you can't say we use media negatively and you use it positively because you use the "good" parts of it. BTW the internet is the biggest media outlet IN THE WORLD, used by Islamists.
Perhaps you should watch "outfoxed" and "fahrenheit 9/11". And I wasn't being partisan to 'my media' in that comment, i merely said 'the garbage you are fed by the media'- which is not saying i am using the 'good' parts...come on.
nazneenreehman, wise up to the garbage you are fed by the media on a daily basis...is this the same media you use? the internet? the same media that islamists use to promote the virtues of their religion? seems to be that's a double standard.
no it's not, i don't mean the internet, i mean murdoch controlled media in the states and even here in Australia, we have plenty of non-discriminatory and good media here- the ABC and SBS. No double standard, why do you think i said 'read between the lines'?
BTW, i am not an Islamist and it is a term that only recently came into existance thanks to the recent media onslaught on Muslims. I am a Muslim, look that up instead of looking up terms like Islamist and Islamism to have whatever insight into Islam, I think you will find- they are quite different things.
nazneenreehman, the 9/11 terrorists professed to be experts on the quran, quoting passages from it. In fact they were scathing of other muslims' understanding of it, almost condemning those muslims for their wrong, "moderate" viewpoints. Were they wrong? I would argue that they would say they were right and you were wrong.
If i am wrong in their books that would make me the majority, and they are a minority because they are acting against Islam and not for it. read between the lines and wise up to the grabage you are fed by the media on a daily basis.
With clear arguments and scriptures; and We have revealed to you the Reminder that you may make clear to men what has been revealed to them, and that haply they may reflect.
in other words, if you don't post "nice" biased comments, or not too imflammatory (but factual eg the bombers) comments that nazneenreehman agrees with, your comments will be deleted, despite some comments that ARE based on knowledge. the sorts of forums that are interesting to read and join in are the ones with open debate. these are dead boring cos there's no debate.
Please don't make me out to be the bad guy when ppl feel the need to use this as a soapbox for hate. I cannot and will not encourage that. The word debate- look it up, I'm sure you won't find abuse, hate mongering and unfounded arguments.
Facts are fine, as long as they are relevant to this subject matter. Bombers and Islamic dress? Come on, do you have a problem with the entire nation of Ireland and all Irish people and customs because of the IRA. Seriously mate, extreme attitude base on irrational thinking is never good for ANYONE.
Do u have the guts to criticise the osama leader of taliban who brutally crushed women in afganistan. forget the bombs part. In iran earlier women had more rights. now after khumeni n Sharia law, ther life has become pathetic
I have the guts, you don't have to make me do it, there are very few Muslims who condone what Bin Laden has done, funny thing, Bush's family company- Halliburton still does business with his family. I suppose it's a money matter, so it must be okay in your book.
This is a message to all the people commenting here, you may have opposed views or differences of opinion but I will not tolerate abuse of any religion or peoples. I advise all of you users to treat this as a forum for discussion rather than your unfounded opinions. All abusive comments from hereon will be removed without discrimination.
Two German and a Turkish muslim man arrested for planning bomb attacks on Americans in Germany. Police are now searching an islamic information center. Well done muslims! NOW are you going to continue to bleat about how peaceful Islam is? And you guys have the hide to bleat about modesty.
Koran was an idea of a man, who was a ruler, wanted people to follow him. How can u appreciate him having sex with 9 yr. old Ayesha, this is rape. Come out of this outdated philosphy. Be open to accept the good as well as the wrong thing written in Koran, keeping aside ego and judge.
have you ever read the Quran yourself? If and when you have, you can be critical about it- it looks stupid to talk or write about things you know so very little of.
come on, accept the fact of brutality and suppression of women according to koran, the same is followed by islamic laws as in iran, by talibans in afganistan n other muslim countries with islamic laws.u r wrong or this muslim laws r wrong.
look obviously you are miopic and somewhat ignorant...there's a whole world of 'brutality' and 'suppression' in all communities and you are part of the unfortunate masses who only see one point of view. I will not deny, that there are degrees of what you say in nations with Muslim populations, but that being in the 'laws' of Islam or Quran, I don't agree. Let's agrees to disagree, shall we?
Clearly it's not my worth my while in trying open a point of discussion by putting forward our point of view i.e. Muslims, the only reason, I don't want to continue in having any more discussion with you is because nothing you say is based on fact or reason just your sheer ignorant opinion.
not ur fault, u r taught since childhood, being women ur body is a sin on eatrh, cover urself from tip to toe, to save the men from doing sin. u r insulting women by saying that cover urself rather then saying men to live life controling their libido. a man with 4 wives = male whore.
right...and i suppose, next you are going to say that all those women who are being traded as slaves in the sex trade are also a great example of men controlling their libido. Look obviously, the sex trade would not exist if there were no demand for it. Men obviously have a sex drive which drives this industry, so filled with strippers, prostitutes etc. You do the math. Also what's better a married women or paid whore?
we were never taught that being women or our bodies are sin on earth-quite the contrary, it is because we are so valued that we do not feel that our flesh or our beauty should be available for any odd man(and sometimes sickos) to perve on, you cannot see the power this gives to us as women as we are actually in control more than ever of WHO SEES WHAT of our bodies, rather than those poor unfortunate women whose only value lie in the size of their busts and the colour of their hair.
I will be the 1st person to appreciate u, if u make a video for those, who controles women n make boundations for her, in the name of koran. There is crime in all sects against women. But u being muslim, can teach the muslims.
if you go to my channel, or look in related videos you will find that there is a second part to this doc, which does briefly address what you are referring to, it does it briefly as that has lately become a minority practice. Also there are scores of docs/films/books along the lines of teh subject you are refing to already, which only tend to demonise islam, and not necessary present the true picture, which also involves choice, which i had decided to focus on here.
eyes contact canlead to love n amorous feeling, wise to cover face n put a net infront of eyes, so nobody can see your beauty as well as your kajaled eyes. This shows more loyal towards your man.
r u a woman? Do you speak for all women? And with all the liberality in the world, since when is it a crime to practice ones religion? If you feel the need to "save" all the women from wearing burkha's why aren't you out there??As far as i am concerned, as long as no one is being harmed by a woman's OWN choice to wear hijab- what is it to you?
I m a strong feminist. Allah cannot be so bias with different rights for women n men. don't show private parts, can be understood. But hair, wrist, leg shown is haram in islam, then it is absurd.U r deprived of sunlight, games like football, tennis n others. U r not helping muslim women, but supporting women to live under controle of men.
FYI, I can take part in most oudoor activities, the sun is not forbidden for Muslim women. We can do all these things you are referring to but we only have to be covered in the presence of unrelated males. Also, there is big women's sport event in Iran like the Olympics. So perhaps, if you knew more Muslim women, you would be aware that there's lot more to us than the deprivation and oppression you speak of.
it takes place every here, after Ayatollah Khomeini. Iran also has the largest number of female feature film directors...lot going on, you just have to have your eart o the ground.
My muslim friend says plucking eye brows is haram according to koran. Similarly with the cosmetics application,as this is a sin to try to bring changes on what god has given u. Is it right?
Well yes, there are traditions that relate that, and if you scroll down below in the comments, you'll find comments exactly about that, but there are different understandings on that, and certainly the point of the hijab is that one does not make oneself overtly attractive to the opposite sex.
u r taught to be slave of men, n obey him disregarding ur wish n happiness, ruling ur mind n body. burkha is just to keep women tamed. u r enjoying freedom of west, so u r coming in u-tube.
mate I have news for you, I made the decision to wear the hijab, I was not taught (or rather not indoctrined) into believeing the lame things you think Muslim women think of themselves. I had come to that logical conclusion myself being educated and at the well-enough mature age of 22.
It is true, that i am inded enjoying freedom of the West, and therefore am able to make this choice and produce this work, however, i have to say that one of the parts of this doco was deleted mistakenly and I have been unable to upload it since, that would be the last and important part of this doco where it does address what you are talking of that about women forced to put on the burkha.
Nobody is against islam. in all religious book, you will find objection things against women's right.Everybody accept this. Why you get blind for Koran. Keep aside ego,n think is everything written in Koran is right? There is good thing but bad thing also.2 women = 1 man, as she lacks intellects as per koran.
As for the Quran being wrong,I think you have never read it or have the insight yet to truly understand the intricate nature of it and the complexities of human nature and society. Perhaps in your eyes I am blind, but I can defend my rationale completely, however, I do not feel the need to defend the hijab or the Quran to someone who is perhaps not ready to listen yet.
if a woman chooses to be viewed as a piece of meat, or portrayed as an object, then that is her choice and that's ok. too bad if you don't approve but she's not asking you to, nor is she asking that you like it. that's the difference that muslims just don't get *duh* - she doesn't need to seek your approval. that's called FREE WILL and TOUGH if you and your muslim don't understand it. *der*
Allahumawiana, what always amazes me is why muslims always assume that a westerners freedom to dress in any way should ALWAYS mean wearing a bikini or being "half naked". you people are OBSESSED with your bodies FAR FAR more than any western woman, all you do is talk "morality" and "modesty" continually. I'll believe a muslim has the freedom to choose when they are not terrified of showing an inch of arm or leg. Or when women are not stoned for doing so.
american women have been brainwashed. women in america are slaves to immorality. they are portrayed as objects and sold as such. they have no respec for them selfs. you need to stop worrying about muslims.
In Islam there is a strict hierarchy of subservience. First and foremost, all humans are required to be the slaves of Allah. In Muslim societies, all children must obey their parents. Beyond this, women and girls must obey and serve without question their male guardians and especially their husbands. This decree of marital obedience is not in any way reciprocal.
A woman in Islam is not competent and must always have a guardian. So, the veiling for them not for men.
in the Koran and more elaborately in the Sunna, Islam assigns to girls a position in the family that requires them to be docile, makes them dependent on their male relatives for money and gives dominion over their bodies to these same male kin.
I would advise you to read "The rights of Women in Islam" by Murtada Mutahhari and then try and have a discussion based on knowledge rather than sweeping statements that based on partial observation and are totally unfounded.
Do you not realise that I, as a Muslim and as an english person am just as likely to be hit by the next bomb? Why should I be ostracised and made to apologise for acts done by someone who i have no link- after i have repeatedly stated that Islam is not to blame?
Please get your facts straight. Muslim communities inc leaders have been denouncing such acts since 9/11. We have been repeating again and again that this is not Islam. But the islamophobes and the extremists have the loudest voices and are given a platform by the media. Again, by marching on the streets EVERY time there is an attack suggests that this IS somehow linked with Islam- when the root of the matter is political.
'Should'?! What do you mean 'should' be seen? Why should i be displayed bikini-clad for men to see when i do not want it? And how does wearing a simple cloth over your head suddenly make you dissapear? I thought that we are in a 'free' society where people SHOULD be able to CHOOSE how they dress.
tjazzs - perhaps muslim women in western countries are choosing to uncover because they have experienced "freedom". It's like a child being removed from an abusive household and put in with a caring foster family , they never want to go back. You yourself enjoy a freedom (ie internet) that is not avaiable to many many muslims in their homelands. never get a comment from an iranian or a saudi, very few from indonesian muslims.
i am sorry you feel and believe this. My husband and I are converts to Islam, he is a band director. We love listening to music but everything in moderation. Most of the things you have described here are described in the Bible and Torah. It is nothing new, just forgotten. That is silly to think that we worship death and killing, what humane would do this, and especially a religious person?
on the day of judgement, all muslims will be put in one huuuugggee cave, and all the non-muslims will fly over in their 'copters and drop huuuuuuuggee truckloads of bombs on them all. goodbyyyyeeee!
Bukhari (6:301) - "[Muhammad] said, 'Is not the evidence of two women equal to the witness of one man?' They replied in the affirmative. He said, 'This is the deficiency in her intelligence.'"
Again, back to women being conditioned to believe their "modesty" controls the urges of feeble weak men. I wear what I chose, I look nice, I receive compliments and I've never been raped. If I am raped, then I have crossed paths with a dangerous psychopath. Muslim women are raped too, regardless of wear (or they are stoned for showing an inch of skin - is that any better a fate?)
question - why isn't a woman allowed to display herself like a "piece of meat" as you muslims so emotively put it (one could argue about point forever). Why are muslim men allowed to display themselvees like "pieces of meat" (yes, they do).
it's one thing for a woman to choose (note choose to cover up in the vatican, but these same women are allowed to bare their skin if they choose - I know, i've been to the vatican. also i have the choice of walking around in public uncovered and i expect men to not be so weak that they can't control their urges - weak men's problems are their problems, not mine.
One thing that is obvious - as muslim women move to western countries, not one single western woman adopts a hijab. but gradually muslim women are moving into western culture and uncovering, wearing clothes of their choice. That's as it should be - they're moving into our country. If they don't like our style of dress they should all go back home and stop trying to convince westerners about islam's goodness - we won't mind at all, i promise you.
Unfortunately they are uncovering when they move to the West. This shows how the West has weak morals and especially in society. Our society is corrupt and everything seems to be accepted here, the land of the free.
I'm an American, born and raised here, also a convert. Many women are accepting Islam in the US because they realize that the way you present yourself is how you are respected. You are treated the way you present yourself. No one is trying to convince westerners, me, just that we are becoming more educated and looking past out ignorance.Most muslims in the US have converted. We're a mix of cultures,people should know this also. It is not just a western way of dressing, we are the melting pot:)
this is just claptrap absolute garbage! isn't it funny that the media are full of stories of muslim women being raped, beaten, stoned in islamic countries. seems the raping don't stop with the tablecloths either. all this video shows is that islamic men are unable to control themselves and that women are conditioned to believe that they are "modest" and "oh, so nice, so sweet and demure". sorry, doesn't work one bit.
"People shouldn't criticize women, or talk badly about them," says 37-year-old Suha as she adjusts the light colored scarf she wears these days to avoid extremists who insist women cover themselves. "They all say we have lost our way, but they never ask why we had to take this path." Lots of muslim women don't agree with hijabs but are forced to wear them by guess who? men of course!
Challenge to Muslims: According to Haddith Al Bukary # 4738, and Hadeeth Muslim 2550, Muhamed rape (marry) Aisha when she was 6 years old -- Please review the Hadith and try to answer to the following two questions...1- Why a 56 years old guy, Muhamed, marry (rape) the little girl Aisha? Can any Muslim, using Islamic sources, provide evidences that Aisha was a mature woman, when she was raped by Muhamed? Evidence are required to answer those questions, i.e Haddith number, Quran Aya..etc
You are applying our concept of what a marriage is to a time and place that had an entirely different concept of marriage. Even if you are correct and Muhammed married Aisha when she was six your suggestion that he had sex with (raped) her is completely unsupported and ridiculous.
do you have any Islamic evidence to support your argument? personal views are not allowed. FYI, Saheeh Muslim 2248,2259 and 2250 indicate that Muhmed rape her. What do you say to that?
on day of judgement you will relise who is morons, and you will ask for your forgiveness. No one change anybody's mind except Allah. I feel sorry for and may Allah forgive you.
ANSWER -- why muhmed fucked the little kid? lies? hahaha the insident is recorded in your ISLAMIC books, read : Al bukary 4738 and Muslim 2548, 2549 and 2550 --- NOW , ANSWER
Imagine not seeing the hair of the woman oh my god imagine that. what has the world come to. that a woman wants people to judge her for the person she is and not be seen as an object imagine that what a crime she commited coz she is modest and does not display her self like a peace of meat oh my god what will the perves do its sad sad sad really look at the guy in the video his pathetic making comments like that
we wear the hijab out of love for our lord and for our modesty and if idiots think we are oppressed then so be it coz we are not doing it for no human being we are doing it coz our lord specficaly told us and we intend to do just that and if someone has a problem well then tough coz we dont give a rats ass what you ignorant ppl think
Given that the Qu'ran is the literal and perfect word of Allah I feel suspicious of any so-called obligation (such as Hijab, or male circumcision) that this perfect and complete book does not mention. None of these quotations mention headscarfes or covering your hair. I can only assume it is a cultural and not a religious thing.
in the quran it says tell the believing women to drow their veil so what does that mean to you its not culture to wear the hijab its part of our believe and what 1. something million muslims what you think we all have the same culture get your facts before you post something peace
Peace to you also. I was talking about a shared cultural heritage. The Qu'ran refers to drawing a veil over your busom. It doesn't mention hair. best wishes.

Provide evidence to your argument. Do not make stuff up -- And no he was not nice to her, he raped her childhood. Muhamed is a child molester, now try to answer to the challenge.
same old blah blah blah he did not rape her she reached the age oy puberty and if he raped her why did she love him that much why didnt she leave when she had the chance when she grew up and even after his death why didnt she re marry you dont know what your talking about
your pathetic mate you know what we dont have to explain nain to you and even if he did what business is it of yours what your so bored with your pathetic life that you come here to piss us off your a joke get a life and stop being an idiot
the islamic law states clearly you cant have a sexual realtionship with any one who has not reached the age of puberty so i dont know what the hell your making this nonesense points for honestly are you that much of a low life that you keep talking about a dead person your pathetic
Anti Christ is talking garbage (as usual).Womena re given respect that no other infidelious woman is given. Muhammad did not marry Aisha but was engaged to cement his tribal links to her powerful clan at the time of need (they did not have children). He married Safiyya to show in action a Muslim man is allowed to marry a Jewess woman either way she did convert to Islam.
The qu'ran states in 4:34 that men dominate women and have the right to beat them into obedience. How can any woman with some remaining dignity and self-respect submit herself to such a barbaric religion which treats women like shit?
Muhammed himself has raped countless women (e.g. Safiyah of the Jews after killing her family and husband) and he had sex with a child of 9 years. What kind of human being can look at a little girl and feel sexually attracted to her???
If a woman does not cover her head, she should have her hair cut off; and if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut or shaved off, she should cover her head.
Some of you used to do these things. But you have cleansed yourselves, you have been set apart for God, you have come to be counted righteous through the power of the the Lord Yeshua the Messiah and the Spirit of God. (Translated by Messianic Jewish Scholars)
No you're a child rappist , all of the early Islamic literature pre-Buckari put Aisha in her mid to late teens , not 6 or 9 years old . You have no moral highground , according to your bible , Moses ordered the slaughter of babies . So zip it .
As I said before, I do not adhere myself to any major religion (not christian or jewish either) and I happen to express my views if it is to your liking or not. To express my views does not constitute child abuse as opposed to the well documented female genital mutilation. Also the oppression and lies that come with islam are not to be tolerated in our society, put up or leave our countries please as you have outstayed your welcome.
I never objected to you expressing your views , so save the psychobabel and strawman arguments for someone else . You should get your mind out of the gutter , off that "Child abuse" and "female genitalia " .
Just because your society is full of child abuse , perverts and female genitals and wombs mutilated by venerial desease and "abortion" ( ripping unborn children out of the womb as a form a contraception ) ...doesn't mean everybody else is as degenerate as you . You are the oppressors and liers not Islam .
Muslims have a right to live in their countries , whereever that may be , including US and Britain ( plenty of American and British Muslims ) .
As Muslims we should argue in a way that is better. Do not let S2XWW upset you so you forget how to use hikmah in your speech. Remember shaytan arouses the passions in the hope that you will be led astray. S2XWW wants you to argue so he can blame Islam for what you say. Stay calm and speak only that which is good. Salaams/Peace 2 U.
The Islamic principle of lying for the sake of Allah. Falsehoods told to prevent denigration of Islam, to protect oneself, or to promote the cause of Islam are sanctioned by the Qu'ran, including lying under penalty of perjury in estimony before the United States Congress, lying or making distorted statements to the media such as claiming that Islam is a religion of peace

Please keep your warped ideas about "my" religion to yourself and try to stick to the subject.I am not Christian. How come you think by attacking other people's beliefs you win credibility.
Your behaviour is unacceptable though and that is where the problem arises. Muslims are essentially an oppressive, parasitic culture who got a very deadly answer for your minorities. Should enjoy the protection our countries provide for minorities?
I'm not trying to develop any credibility with you , for I could care less how people like you feel about Islam .
Muslims wouldn't migrate to the west if not for the political / economic situation in their countries and that is the result of colonization and two world wars , started by Europeans ( you even forced Japan to invade the rest of Asia ) . You have no moral highground whatsoever .

christ foretold false prophets would come after him and mislead many! Allah was one of those. i suggest you read the bible!! these are the last days and soon the world will be rid of goverments countrie false religion. there is one god one faith . i know many muslims who are now jehovahs witnesses!
Hello Muslims, I have a question that perplexes me !!!
Suppose I want to marry a muslim woman who is fully covered. How can I know if she is going to attract me sexually if I can't see what she looks like or have any intimate contact with her before actually marrying her ?
Alhamdulillah! This is a very good video if anyone is interested in some more information about this society and hijab please visit this vide>>>> Muslim women are Respected, Non muslim women Disrespected. This is a must see video were you will see how this society had blinded some women to the point were they are being disrespected right in front of their eyes and they still say that, those comments are not about them. Really a Must see Video!
you muslims keep your women under lock and key they have not got a life, they serve the husband or he will beat them.what these muslim women need is a real western man who will not keep them prisoner , let them have there freedom and not be strapped down with 10 kids while the husband finds another wife to prison and inpregnate., you dirty fuckers.. IF YOU NEED ANYONE TO BLAME FOR YOUR PEOPLE KEEPING WOMEN UNDER LOCK AND KEY, YOU ONLY NEED TO LOOK INTO A MIRROR.
I know it's not related but what about freedom of religion? Is it true that wife beating is allowed in certain conditions (say if wife changes from Islam to Atheism)? Many say wearing the veil objectify the Muslim woman by letting others think of them as beatable objects (by husbands)
you dont no when Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) got married Hazrat Aisha (RUH) the moment she got married she was young and she spend happiest life with Prophet Mohammad (PBUH).
Unfortanetly, We never will witness a Democracy in Iran. Because Everybody in Iran is a behaviour teacher. If somebody wantes to be completely naked, it's not a shame to anybody. Everybody is responsible for their own actions.
Before the coming of Islam in 7th century in Iran, women fought alongside their men; not only they were held in an equal status with men, but also periodically they actually ruled them; this so called upside-down society both fascinated and horrified the male dominated Greek culture; later, the Romans expressed the same horror, when they encountered the Sassanid female warriors.
From the view of Islam women are Sex object. Enfants girls and women are only for own pleasure of one man.That's why they must be covered, because only their man has to misuse them as sex objects!
So we are giving women protect from the media and provocking there as symobl istead, the women is respectful symbol like we have mother, sister, daughter & wife so we respect our relegion and humanity as islam teached us - Allahum dulillah even every women from any relegion this is what we got from ISLAM
Muhammad's sexual antics are an embarrassment to those Muslims who are aware of them. This is particularly so for their prophet's marriage to Aisha when she was 9-years-old. The thought of a 52-year-old man sleeping and bathing with a young girl is intensely unpleasant and it reflects the disgusting character of a sexual glutton rather than a holy man. Critics even allege that Muhammad was a pedophile.
From the Hadith: Aisha's father, Abu Bakr, wasn't on board at first, but Muhammad explained how the rules of their religion made it possible. This is similar to the way that present-day cult leaders manipulate their followers into similar concessions.
Somebody called "Irshad Majdi" is bringing hope. No longer you need an Imam in Islam to see hope. Just search for her. PEACE UPON HER. She made Islam look better and I hope Muslims don't oppose her efforts. Please support her because she represents FREEDOM, which many say is a term coming from Islam (Shorah). So if she doesn't wear the veil, then that's ONLY one tenant of Islam that's violated. But she followed many other tenants of Islam..Just listen & decide. I just want to see hope
do you what is hellfire if some go with in the hell he/she will never die but will feel pain and death will not be there because death will be no more.
I am not STEREOTYPING below because I didn't say that the veil is always a sign of oppression. So why could it be stereotyping when the West only wants to give Muslim women authority over their own body by allowing them the freedom of choice regarding the veil? Many women face social & religious pressure to wear it even if they feel it's not natural.
If you search youtube for "One man witness equivalent to two women witnesses", you'll find out that both the Hijab regulation and the witness rule together make it clearer how women are oppressed. There're other examples: Search Google for "Honor crimes in X" where X is any Muslim country, you'll find out that women are oppressed in Muslim families/countries. If X isn't a Muslim country, then you will not see anything
Honours killing is not an Isalmic thing, it existed in those cultures prior to Islam. Maybe you ought to research in better areas than blogs on google.
How come it's legal (or semi legal) in Muslim countries to kill women thru family honor protection? If you search Google for "Are honor crimes legal?", you'll see what I mean. For e.g., Syria's law is lenient on a man who kills or injures his female relative if he catches her in a suspicious state with another man. In Pakistan, Jordan and Egypt, it's very legal for parents/ husbands to kill women this way
I must add, that in Muslim countries it's illegal for wives to kill husbands even if the husband is found sleeping with another woman (other than wife). I mean that only males have the authority to kill wives in case of honor issues. It's a known fact if you check the laws of Muslim countries. Wearing Hijab is often done because of social pressure (family) or because of laws (Saudi Arabia). So I think Higab is often a sign of opression (not always)
to u, not others! Islam is the fastest growing religion including in the United States. Also hijab is NOT often a sign of opression. I wear a hijab and im not opressed. I hate STEREOTYPES!
Very educational vid. People who objectify women (as in western media) don't know what real EMPOWERMENT means. Also people don't understand that there is also a priority for Muslim women to attain good education and careers. Thanks.
I think both ways of thinking objectify women: The veil for wives is a sign they are weak, beatable objects (a green light for husbands to beat them when they disobey) and Hollywood portray them as sex objects (or as victims that need a male hero to save them from a situation). In both cases, they are controlled by man.
to freedom2express so according to your logic the veil = greenlight for beating...there seems to be a slight exaggeration in your argument. The west needs to recognize its own hypocrisy. I have only had the chance for interaction with Muslim women in Southeast Asia---generally their parents push them for high education and empowerment.
The western media panders shallow depictions of women. Take it or leave it...Muslim women are respected academics and leaders in Southeast Asia. I'd like to see similar stats for female CEOS in the USA.
When a woman is covered she thinks of sex much more than if she isn't because of increased curiosity & fantasy. The main point: Its what's in the heart that matters & not some superficial covering. It's very natural to make mistakes & learn from them rather than hide who you are from men. Yes, long hair for a woman (or a man) could be sexy for some people but don't assume all men are animals who can't control themselves. I just believe in empowering women (no forced modesty).
OH SHUT UP FAGGOT. Because someone broke his forhead you don't make women wearing your stupid hijab. it's like hiding instruments behind a curtain. I see these muslim dudes in UCLA walking in shorts and Tshirts when it's 100 degrees hot, and their wives next to them, wearing hijab, and shit like that in that heat. that's not even humane asshole.
Have you ever been to the middle east, where it's prolly hotter than California, you might notice that there both men and women are covered from head to toe. Know why? Well because then they don't feel hot as their skin doesn't burn. Humane. Don't go there, women are treated no better than animal flesh in porn magazines.
Firefighters told the Saudi press that morality police forced girls to stay inside the burning building because they were not wearing the head scarves and black cloaks known as abayas that women must wear in public. One Saudi paper said the The Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice (Mutawa'een) stopped men who tried to help the girls escape the flames, stating, "It is sinful to approach them."

Hijab an old pre-Islamic practise to humilate and enslave women by Arab males > Islam could not change this so Muhamamd and his Arabic Quran kept this mainly to protect MUhamamd's many wives from the gaze of his men. This became a pillar of submission another word for slavey in Islam and Arabs use religion to colonise non-Arabs and spread ignorance and salvery in the communities colonised culturaly by Islam.

Hijab was invented by prehistoric men living in cooperative, male-dominated tribes. They learned that you could prevent your woman from having sex with other men by veiling your woman and keeping her inside the cave. This ensured your bloodline was intact (a strong biological urge).
Descendants of these ape-like tribal animals (the human race), some of them have gotten accustomed to being veiled and now feel naked without it.

a bit hard to be a beholder straining to see what someone looks like.....if you're trying to hide from people, then yes, it's complicated when you talk about "eyes".
And if you're not talking about "eyes" then I'll assume westerners can say that walking around "half naked" as you muslims so emotively like to speak of western women, has nothing to do with their "looks" and everything to do with "what's inside".....can't have it both ways.

Also what's better a married women or paid whore?

we were never taught that being women or our bodies are sin on earth-quite the contrary, it is because we are so valued that we do not feel that our flesh or our beauty should be available for any odd man(and sometimes sickos) to perve on, you cannot see the power this gives to us as women as we are actually in control more than ever of WHO SEES WHAT of our bodies, rather than those poor unfortunate women whose only value lie in the size of their busts and the colour of their hair.

In Islam there is a strict hierarchy of subservience. First and foremost, all humans are required to be the slaves of Allah. In Muslim societies, all children must obey their parents. Beyond this, women and girls must obey and serve without question their male guardians and especially their husbands. This decree of marital obedience is not in any way reciprocal.
A woman in Islam is not competent and must always have a guardian. So, the veiling for them not for men.

it's one thing for a woman to choose (note choose to cover up in the vatican, but these same women are allowed to bare their skin if they choose - I know, i've been to the vatican. also i have the choice of walking around in public uncovered and i expect men to not be so weak that they can't control their urges - weak men's problems are their problems, not mine.

One thing that is obvious - as muslim women move to western countries, not one single western woman adopts a hijab. but gradually muslim women are moving into western culture and uncovering, wearing clothes of their choice.

Challenge to Muslims: According to Haddith Al Bukary # 4738, and Hadeeth Muslim 2550, Muhamed rape (marry) Aisha when she was 6 years old -- Please review the Hadith and try to answer to the following two questions...1- Why a 56 years old guy, Muhamed, marry (rape) the little girl Aisha? Can any Muslim, using Islamic sources, provide evidences that Aisha was a mature woman, when she was raped by Muhamed? Evidence are required to answer those questions, i.e Haddith number, Quran Aya..etc

Prophet Muhammed did not rap Aisha when she was nine.
And he wented to get married to her when she nine . He married her when she reached her puberty. He was kind, respectfull ,loving,caring to Aisha.

Provide evidence to your argument. Do not make stuff up -- And no he was not nice to her, he raped her childhood. Muhamed is a child molester, now try to answer to the challenge.

HOW OLD WAS AISHA WHEN MUHMED FUCKED HER? answer
trg12345 4 years ago
Anti Christ is talking garbage (as usual).Womena re given respect that no other infidelious woman is given. Muhammad did not marry Aisha but was engaged to cement his tribal links to her powerful clan at the time of need (they did not have children). He married Safiyya to show in action a Muslim man is allowed to marry a Jewess woman either way she did convert to Islam.
salahuddin786 4 years ago
The qu'ran states in 4:34 that men dominate women and have the right to beat them into obedience. How can any woman with some remaining dignity and self-respect submit herself to such a barbaric religion which treats women like shit?
Muhammed himself has raped countless women (e.g. Safiyah of the Jews after killing her family and husband) and he had sex with a child of 9 years. What kind of human being can look at a little girl and feel sexually attracted to her???

This is what bible says...>>>
1 Corinthians 11:6
If a woman does not cover her head, she should have her hair cut off; and if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut or shaved off, she should cover her head.

No you're a child rappist , all of the early Islamic literature pre-Buckari put Aisha in her mid to late teens , not 6 or 9 years old . You have no moral highground , according to your bible , Moses ordered the slaughter of babies . So zip it .

As I said before, I do not adhere myself to any major religion (not christian or jewish either) and I happen to express my views if it is to your liking or not. To express my views does not constitute child abuse as opposed to the well documented female genital mutilation. Also the oppression and lies that come with islam are not to be tolerated in our society, put up or leave our countries please as you have outstayed your welcome.

I never objected to you expressing your views , so save the psychobabel and strawman arguments for someone else . You should get your mind out of the gutter , off that "Child abuse" and "female genitalia " .

Just because your society is full of child abuse , perverts and female genitals and wombs mutilated by venerial desease and "abortion" ( ripping unborn children out of the womb as a form a contraception ) ...doesn't mean everybody else is as degenerate as you . You are the oppressors and liers not Islam .
Muslims have a right to live in their countries , whereever that may be , including US and Britain ( plenty of American and British Muslims ) .

As Muslims we should argue in a way that is better. Do not let S2XWW upset you so you forget how to use hikmah in your speech. Remember shaytan arouses the passions in the hope that you will be led astray. S2XWW wants you to argue so he can blame Islam for what you say. Stay calm and speak only that which is good.

Please keep your warped ideas about "my" religion to yourself and try to stick to the subject.I am not Christian. How come you think by attacking other people's beliefs you win credibility.
Your behaviour is unacceptable though and that is where the problem arises. Muslims are essentially an oppressive, parasitic culture who got a very deadly answer for your minorities. Should enjoy the protection our countries provide for minorities?

I'm not trying to develop any credibility with you , for I could care less how people like you feel about Islam .
Muslims wouldn't migrate to the west if not for the political / economic situation in their countries and that is the result of colonization and two world wars , started by Europeans ( you even forced Japan to invade the rest of Asia ) . You have no moral highground whatsoever .

Suppose I want to marry a muslim woman who is fully covered. How can I know if she is going to attract me sexually if I can't see what she looks like or have any intimate contact with her before actually marrying her ?

I know it's not related but what about freedom of religion? Is it true that wife beating is allowed in certain conditions (say if wife changes from Islam to Atheism)? Many say wearing the veil objectify the Muslim woman by letting others think of them as beatable objects (by husbands)

Unfortanetly, We never will witness a Democracy in Iran. Because Everybody in Iran is a behaviour teacher. If somebody wantes to be completely naked, it's not a shame to anybody. Everybody is responsible for their own actions.
KambizHassani 4 years ago
Before the coming of Islam in 7th century in Iran, women fought alongside their men; not only they were held in an equal status with men, but also periodically they actually ruled them; this so called upside-down society both fascinated and horrified the male dominated Greek culture; later, the Romans expressed the same horror, when they encountered the Sassanid female warriors.
KambizHassani 4 years ago
From the view of Islam women are Sex object. Enfants girls and women are only for own pleasure of one man.That's why they must be covered, because only their man has to misuse them as sex objects!

So we are giving women protect from the media and provocking there as symobl istead, the women is respectful symbol like we have mother, sister, daughter & wife so we respect our relegion and humanity as islam teached us - Allahum dulillah even every women from any relegion this is what we got from ISLAM
onlykhan76 4 years ago
Muhammad's sexual antics are an embarrassment to those Muslims who are aware of them. This is particularly so for their prophet's marriage to Aisha when she was 9-years-old. The thought of a 52-year-old man sleeping and bathing with a young girl is intensely unpleasant and it reflects the disgusting character of a sexual glutton rather than a holy man. Critics even allege that Muhammad was a pedophile.
KambizHassani 4 years ago
respect others if your parent teached you or your teacher etc.
onlykhan76 4 years ago
From the Hadith: Aisha's father, Abu Bakr, wasn't on board at first, but Muhammad explained how the rules of their religion made it possible. This is similar to the way that present-day cult leaders manipulate their followers into similar concessions.

Somebody called "Irshad Majdi" is bringing hope. No longer you need an Imam in Islam to see hope. Just search for her. PEACE UPON HER. She made Islam look better and I hope Muslims don't oppose her efforts. Please support her because she represents FREEDOM, which many say is a term coming from Islam (Shorah). So if she doesn't wear the veil, then that's ONLY one tenant of Islam that's violated. But she followed many other tenants of Islam..Just listen & decide. I just want to see hope

I am not STEREOTYPING below because I didn't say that the veil is always a sign of oppression. So why could it be stereotyping when the West only wants to give Muslim women authority over their own body by allowing them the freedom of choice regarding the veil? Many women face social & religious pressure to wear it even if they feel it's not natural.

sara4hayati 4 years ago
If you search youtube for "One man witness equivalent to two women witnesses", you'll find out that both the Hijab regulation and the witness rule together make it clearer how women are oppressed. There're other examples: Search Google for "Honor crimes in X" where X is any Muslim country, you'll find out that women are oppressed in Muslim families/countries. If X isn't a Muslim country, then you will not see anything
freedom2express 4 years ago
Honours killing is not an Isalmic thing, it existed in those cultures prior to Islam. Maybe you ought to research in better areas than blogs on google.
nazneenreehman 4 years ago
How come it's legal (or semi legal) in Muslim countries to kill women thru family honor protection? If you search Google for "Are honor crimes legal?", you'll see what I mean. For e.g., Syria's law is lenient on a man who kills or injures his female relative if he catches her in a suspicious state with another man. In Pakistan, Jordan and Egypt, it's very legal for parents/ husbands to kill women this way
freedom2express 4 years ago
I must add, that in Muslim countries it's illegal for wives to kill husbands even if the husband is found sleeping with another woman (other than wife). I mean that only males have the authority to kill wives in case of honor issues. It's a known fact if you check the laws of Muslim countries. Wearing Hijab is often done because of social pressure (family) or because of laws (Saudi Arabia). So I think Higab is often a sign of opression (not always)

Very educational vid. People who objectify women (as in western media) don't know what real EMPOWERMENT means. Also people don't understand that there is also a priority for Muslim women to attain good education and careers. Thanks.
silapajarun 4 years ago
I think both ways of thinking objectify women: The veil for wives is a sign they are weak, beatable objects (a green light for husbands to beat them when they disobey) and Hollywood portray them as sex objects (or as victims that need a male hero to save them from a situation). In both cases, they are controlled by man.
freedom2express 4 years ago
to freedom2express so according to your logic the veil = greenlight for beating...there seems to be a slight exaggeration in your argument. The west needs to recognize its own hypocrisy. I have only had the chance for interaction with Muslim women in Southeast Asia---generally their parents push them for high education and empowerment.

The western media panders shallow depictions of women. Take it or leave it...Muslim women are respected academics and leaders in Southeast Asia. I'd like to see similar stats for female CEOS in the USA.
secretarytocapt3 4 years ago
When a woman is covered she thinks of sex much more than if she isn't because of increased curiosity & fantasy. The main point: Its what's in the heart that matters & not some superficial covering. It's very natural to make mistakes & learn from them rather than hide who you are from men. Yes, long hair for a woman (or a man) could be sexy for some people but don't assume all men are animals who can't control themselves. I just believe in empowering women (no forced modesty).

OH SHUT UP FAGGOT. Because someone broke his forhead you don't make women wearing your stupid hijab. it's like hiding instruments behind a curtain.

Have you ever been to the middle east, where it's prolly hotter than California, you might notice that there both men and women are covered from head to toe. Know why? Well because then they don't feel hot as their skin doesn't burn. Humane. Don't go there, women are treated no better than animal flesh in porn magazines.
