Oprah brings taboo topics to Middle East

[helema23]

its best to not air shows that show certain lifestyles in other countries. it doesnt just offend muslims to see such things on their tv but some non muslims are offended too. theres a difference between being offended because its not a thing to talk openly about and being offended because you hate the people in that lifestyle. you can dislike alifestyle without hateing the people in it. the woman that was offended has a right to be because they aired that show in a MUSLIM country!!

[methoz1982]

...and Western TV has nothing to do with propaganda and mind control. Blech! No one should be watching Oprah and the likes especially if they want to learn how to live like real human beings...not drones.

[suusiieex]

who are all of you to judge. yes homosexuality is forbiden in islam, but only Allah swt is the one to judge us. in the eyes of our lord we are equal. we are all his creations. the only person you are to judge is the person you see when looking in a mirror. you know it is wrong to judge someone based on colour, sex, gender, ethnicity etc. so why you all judging people based on if theyre gay or not?

[Ailacake]

@boofing2k20 Allah means god in Arabic. If you say it a different way, it doesn't change what it is. Tomato tomato, potato potato. Same thing. We believe in the same thing whether you like it or not.

[Ailacake]

@MrIhateislam100 From your username, I can see you have a creepy obsession with Islam. Lol.

[Ailacake]

@bastardfingers Lol, spiritual contact, yeah right. God's not interested in having any contact with scum racist bastards like you UNLESS he's trying to rid you from you douchbagary-ness.

[HJOWLH]

why do they have subtitles i can understand what they saying, If you do too thumbs me up.

[Sam10947]

this is part of the western culture invasion on the arab/islamic world...the decadence is easily in this way to brainwash ppl. There is a reason why European/Americans pay premium fees to get broadcast. Whereas the arab world have free world broadcast. brainwash the motherfucking ppl. God protect us from the degenrates

[clip012]

da satellite dishes r disturbingly big..

[DionLaurent1]

FUCK OPRAH!!!

[tigerpoosha]

Fact is that there is widespread male homosexuality in Muslim country.Men and women are not allowed to mingle and sexuality finds ugly ways to satisfy itself.

[helema23]

@tigerpoosha this is not true yes there are gays in the middle east but not as many as you are trying to portray. and the gays are men with men and women with women and they are so feew and far between that its not really a concern to most people in their areas. its just something they dont talk about.

[tigerpoosha]

@helema23 The point I was trying to highlight was that extreme segregation of opposite sexes will have opposite effects.I live in a multi-religious society and noticed personally that male homosexuality is very much alive(more than among other religions) among Muslims.I just don't understand.I know that homosexuality is a sin in Islam.Then why people are so alert about opposite sex interaction and don't pay attention to male homosexuality which I think is a much greater sin.I am not Islam hater.

[MuscleCut]

thats goddam right , screw american society , all fucking gayz , and they fucking think that we are the gayz !!! fucking americanos !!!

[aaa4all2000]

Pure...Amen to that! That is right HOMOSEXUALITY IS FORBIDDEN period! if u can't watch godly channels-GET RID OF SATAN'S BOX [TV] it will corrupt all ages! I born & raised in USA, NEVER watch TV. It is written: Ephesians 5:16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.19 speaking ...psalms, spiritual songs,..to the Lord..etc 1Cor:15:33 Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners. time can be offered to GOD in prayer or song! GOODBYE I will not give this site more pts!

[Puresomalilander]

HOMOSEXUALITY.......IS FORBIDEN IN OUR ISLAMIC VALUES THE QU'RAN AND THE HADEETH.......ALSO BOTH JUDIUSIM AND CHRISTIANITY FORBID TOO.....

OR IN OTHER WORDS......THE THREE ABRAHAMIC RELIGIONS ARE AGAINST SUCH IMMORAL ISSUE......IF YOU READ IN THE BIBLE GOD DESTROY WHOLE PEOPLE BECAUSE THEY WERE HOMOSEXUALS...

[shahnazkabir]

stop this Tv cable coming to muslim countries....they r gonna ruined everything step by step.........think abt Allah swt command nd our beloved Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) showed us how to live ur life........fear Allah swt don't open ur window for this things.......cuz I kno this entertainment tv ruined my Muslim country.......ppl adopt another cultures thing..........be careful wat r doing.........

[aaa4all2000]

Oprah, if you read this, learn the ugly truth, if u do not REPENT & b a doer of the Word of God, u r going to b judged severely. Woe unto u Oprah 4 what u promote in ur shows & speak freely of sinful sins which r an abomination in the eyes of the LORD GOD. If u do not REPENT & get right w/what Thus Saith the LORD, u together w/ur money & fame r going to BURN in HELL FIRE! Now ur filthy godless topics r all over the world--WOE UNTO U! God will judge u for what u promote to this arab women too!

[aaa4all2000]

Romans 8: 5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh..

6 For to b carnally minded is death; bt to b spiritually minded is life & peace.

7Because the carnal mind is enmity against God:..

8So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

[aaa4all2000]

روميا 8

5 فَإِنَّ الَّذِينَ هُمْ حَسَبَ الْجَسَدِ فَبِمَا لِلْجَسَدِ يَهْتَمُّونَ...

6 لأَنَّ اهْتِمَامَ الْجَسَدِ هُوَ مَوْتٌ، وَلكِنَّ اهْتِمَامَ الرُّوحِ هُوَ حَيَاةٌ وَسَلاَمٌ.

7 لأَنَّ اهْتِمَامَ الْجَسَدِ هُوَ عَدَاوَةٌ ِللهِ، إِذْ لَيْسَ هُوَ خَاضِعًا لِنَامُوسِ اللهِ، لأَنَّهُ أَيْضًا لاَ يَسْتَطِيعُ.

8فَالَّذِينَ هُمْ فِي الْجَسَدِ لاَ يَسْتَطِيعُونَ أَنْ يُرْضُوا اللهَ.

14 لأَنَّ كُلَّ الَّذِينَ يَنْقَادُونَ بِرُوحِ اللهِ، فَأُولئِكَ هُمْ أَبْنَاءُ اللهِ.

[aaa4all2000]

othma4, the god of this world is satan, his trickery is to keep u in bondage so, u revert to worst sexual sins. u have no peace, happiness, nor freedom of a spiritual life, therefore, u r God's enemy..Rom: 8

God is going to judge u for ALL u do in the flesh & in the spirit. There is a way out 4 u. The bondage of sin can be broken if u REPENT of ur sins. Call upon the NAME of Jesus & be born again 2 b set free! Now this is an awesome life, free of sin & able to stay away from it too!

[aaa4all2000]

NO homosexuality is NOT normal in the USA, but is the spirit of lust and of the flesh & it is sinful & wrong in the eyes of the Lord God; therefore it is the work of Satan. Opra herself is in sin regardless of her riches/fame she needs to REPENT & get married or leave the man! Her life style has nothing to do w/Christianity. It is written 1 Peter 1:14 – 16: …be ye holy for I Am holy!

[aaa4all2000]

لا , الشذوذ الجنسي ليس طبيعيا في الولايات المتحدة , وهو بكل المقاييس يعتبر خطيئة وهو خطأ كبير بحكم الرب , لذا فهو من عمل الشيطان . اوبرا ايضا خاطئة بخض النظر عن غناها وشهرتها , هى في حاجة إلى التوبة , عليها أن تتزوج أو تترك الرجل , ليس لأسلوبها في الحياة علاقة بالمسيحية , ومكتوب في الإنجيل : كن مقدسا لأنني مقدس

[N9ooRyKsA]

Your movements bitch

It seems you want to spend the night with me to enjoy the exciting your ass has turned the color of the red of the large number of sex is no stranger to American women prostitutes

And my penis wants to shoot semen in the face of every American jurisdiction nasty bitch has had sex with many prostitutes, but I did not I practice with a prostitute by the U.S. Americans have scum and lesbian bisexual and I hope that you are the scum of all Americans get cancer

[bastardfingers]

If you think you have a right to put a gay man in prison YOU ARE A FUCKING TERRORIST! Get it? Have your imaginary friend in the sky but LEAVE PEOPLE ALONE. I've had more spiritual experiences than you've had fake cutesy muslim smiles so waste your life alone.

[markee871]

I am against immoral behavior(homosexuality)

when I watch shows like Oprah i take the good from it..so should all of us.

[Jamieishere1]

@markee871 Best not to partake in homosexual behaviour then and leave other people to get on with their lives. I came to this video from one about a man who had lost his brother in the middle east. His brother was tortured, raped and murdered.... because he was gay.

Being against something does not require you to mistreat those who engage in it, especially when they aren't affecting you by doing so.

[markee871]

@Jamieishere1 You need to fear the punishment of God! do not forget what happened to the people of Sodom!!! IT IS A HUGE SIN! it goes against nature, its disgusting! Dont you dare come over to me with this bullshit. I will not tolerate disgusting behavior like that! I support any law that takes extreme measures to eradicate!!! Immorla behavior should never be praised! God create dmen for women and women for men, dont screw with God's law! homosexuality is a sick and immoral practice, DISGUSTING!

[markee871]

@Jamieishere1 Homosexuality was removed from the list of mental illnesses in the early 70's by gay lobbyists storming the Annual American Psychiatric Association(APA)..since homosexuality was removed from the list of mental disorders..SO HAS PEDOPHILIA!

and homosexuality is NOT GENETIC, a study of the preferences of homos and pedophiles showed that both groups did not differ in response to nude female stimuli, NO EVIDENCE THAT HOMO SICKNESS IS GENETIC, ITS A SICKNESS! its filth from satan

[Jamieishere1]

@markee871 Yes God mass murdered the people of Sodom, though the specific sins for which this occurred is unclear. He spared Lot (the only good man in the city, who offered up his daughters to be gang raped as far as I remember).

Please provide proof that God created anything, or don't bother asserting it. Whether "God's law" forbids homosexuality is debatable.

God's law also entails advocation of slavery, stoning to death of disobedient kids, punishment of criminals descendants etc. 

[markee871]

@Jamieishere1 THE SIN WAS HOMOSEXUALITY YOU IGNORANT PRICK! HOMOSEXUALITY IS A SIN IN ALL RELIGIONS! AND ITS IMMORAL! IT GOES AGAINST NATURE! ITS THE MOST DISGUSTING ACT EVER! I will not argue with someone who thinks 2 men having sex is okay! When you die(which is soon because life on Earth isnt long) God will bring you forward to account for your sins, Im sick of people living this life like life is forever, you will eventually die and meet your creator! Homosexuality is a sin and DISGUSTING

[Jamieishere1]

@markee871 The sin of sodom is not made clear and could just as easily have been bestiality (sex with angels) or perhaps... gang rape... as anything else.

Unitarian Universalism, Wicca, some denominations of Christianity and Hinduism all don't condemn homosexuality and I expect there are many more that don't among the thousands of religions. Whether homosexuality was a sin in all religions or not isn't really relevant anyway (or at least you haven't established otherwise).

[Jamieishere1]

@markee871 All forms of modern medical care "go against nature", as do all other technologies. Please explain why nature is relevant?

Homosexuality is not an act...

You are likely confusing it with anal sex. How do you think lesbians have anal sex..?

CDC's National Survey of Family Growth:

"Percent of males and females 25-44 years of age who have ever had anal sex with an opposite sex partner, 2002:

Males: 40.0%

Females: 34.7%"

I'm sick of people making unsubstantiated claims about "God".

[markee871]

@Jamieishere1 God created us, as well as everything! he knows what we know not! if he says somethign should be avoided, we listen! In Islam alcohol is forbidden! JUST NOW RESEARCHERS FOUND OUT THE BAD EFFECTS OF ALCOHOL AND HOW IT RUINS YOUR THINKING ABILITY! alot of crimes have happened when someone is drunk! Satan vowed to mislead mankind into the hellfire, to lead mankind astray..look at now! immoral behavior is paraded around and moral people are mocked! this is INSANE!

[Jamieishere1]

@markee871 Can you disable friend lock plz so I can PM?

You are asserting that God created us again but have still not provided any justification for this statement. Please provide justification for it or abandon it. It's about as useful as me saying "you're wrong" without any justification.

The bad effects of alcohol have been known for a long time, though it isn't relevant to the current debate and I don't drink anyway.

Likewise, assertions about satan are useless until justified.

[Jamieishere1]

@markee871 That you find it disgusting exemplifies nothing more than irrational prejudice. Religion = successful cults. Why do you believe in your version of God while dismissing all the other versions? Not a rhetorical question.

Oh and on Sodom, lack of hospitality is another likely sin that was being punished. In the book of judges, the Battle of Gibeah greatly resembles Sodom and Gammorah and arises from inhospitality and (heterosexual) gang-rape.

[Jamieishere1]

@markee871 The "gay lobbyists" "stormed" somewhere did they? I'll PM you my response to that, as it has some links in it etc.

Pedophilia being removed from the DSM is a right wing propaganda lie as far as I'm aware. It is listed under the term Paraphilia. Even were it to have been removed, that would be irrelevant to a debate about homosexuality.

According to all the major medical associations, homosexuality is not a sickness. The cause of sexual orientation is not yet known.

[pinkvolcomshirt]

homosexuality may not a norm in the arab world, but it's not because it doesn't exist. it's because it is put in the same category as pedophilia an brave gay men and women who are willing to come out in that environment are shunned. shame on this woman who thinks otherwise.

[Barcelona5761]

oprah is a fuckin bitch

[markee871]

@Barcelona5761 and so is your mom! you have no respect for women you piece of trash! Oprah has touched billions of people worldwide, youre just a jealous bastard who has no life! your hatred is sickening!

[Hadher143]

@khadijaq Burqa is an arabic word, its this golden thing old women wear. Mostly in the gulf. Learn Arabic before blaming others. Google it: برقع

[r10bajjio10]

@boofing2k20: lol Hahahaa!!! There is no god... but Allah!!! There is only one Unique God (Allah)!!! You don't know what Islam is and what muslim is!!! There is no such... man god, snake god, cow god,monkey god (istaqfurullah) Etc There is no such gods etc!!!

[r10bajjio10]

@utrapzab: Evolution is a theory! Islam is a FACT!!! if you think we decendet from apes then you need some serious help!!! kkkkkkkk You will come to know one day that Allah excist!!! There is no god... but Allah!!!

[boofing2k20]

@r10bajjio10 Not to be rude but the way you people talk and sometimes act and the way you speak about God you make him sound like a very angry, vengeful and hateful person. If that is the way your people really think and act simply because of other peoples opinions and beliefs then I refuse to believe we share the same God. Cause I know damn sure that my god is kinder then yours and this is coming from some one who believes in God.

[MrIhateislam100]

@r10bajjio10 fuck your allah up the ass moterhfucking muslim scum

[r10bajjio10]

@utrapzab: You are behaving like animal!!! If doesn't excist then who created you? lol you are such ignorant fool who don't kno shit about who prophet mohammed pbuh is!!! learn about islam then talk ok shut up plz if you think evolution is fact!!!

[metalheaddyke666]

@r10bajjio10 This is coming from a jordanian muslim , the way you talk wouldn't even make me wanna believe in Islam or God , you really wanna convince someone that god exists with the crap you're saying? Seriously you need to respect other people's opinions and believes not everyone believes in islam get over it!

[TarWoman]

Taboos in the middle east is going a day without beating your wife.

[TheTruth8018]

Oprah is a rolemodel hahahahaha

[HN736]

how can she be a role model to arab , she definitly not my hero i don t even watch a show i find a boring fake and oftentime stupid and arrogant

[carabinieri210]

WE LOVE OPRAH IN LEBANON!

[sohailalatif]

These satellites are for bab alhara! al3ar.... ramadan shows...... not for OPRAH, DOCTORS, OR DR. PHIL but perhaps for islamic shows and plenty more

:P

[RokseMoni]

Hi brother needs to chat a, Asian women busizz4me.info

[r10bajjio10]

@hannahr77: Allah is the god of mohammed,moses,jesus (Isa) and all the prophets!!! Do you believe in many gods? lol

The five major prophets according to Islam are Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Mohammed (May God's Peace be upon them all)

God doesn't and needn't have a son or a wife or any other entity to help him, guide him or advise him, but he sent down the prophets from human beings to guide their fellow humans to His path. Belieiving in more than one God is not monotheism.

[utrapzab]

@r10bajjio10 but believing in ANY god shows a lack of education and understanding of the world, and following the word of the last so called prophet - the one who was a peadophile - is disgusting and shows a lack of morality

[Xpec8tor]

By the way>> No need for more women role models in the arab world, they have many here that are fantastic in that department and can teach a thing or two to anyone out there in the world, just that they need to have their government's and their males approval in an Islamist traditional country where males still feel threatened by women's power.Oprah has opened up more than a few eyes and raised many eyebrows.Arab women r working on a better 2morrow,respecting their religion n their heritage.

[Xpec8tor]

Sooo many tabooossss in the Islamic World! I live in one! They tell u what to do, how many times to do it n how to do it, control is the key. Lots of homosexuality but never talked about, just like rape,incest n molestations etc. Non Muslims are unbelievers n infidels to any Muslim.If there was no Judaism n Christianity, islam wouldn't of have existed! almost all of their profets r from theses religions. Mohammed(PBUH)though he meant well was just a mere mortal with many flaws!

[r10bajjio10]

@rubyrocksallthetime: Islam is the best religion the best way of life!!! Islam is the way forget the lies of western life style! these arab women think western life is superier to islamic life style! May allah guide us all muslims! There is no god but Allah!!!

[hannahr77]

@r10bajjio10

"There is no god but Allah!!!"

oh yes there is, and ill-allah is not god

[JohnnyRock2000]

I'd love to see Oprah do a show from the West Bank or the Gaza strip. Maybe give them all DVD's of The Secret.

[lebo2nvme]

OPRAH is the best I love her!! What is with all these negative comments being posted?? why are u ppl so negative all the time?? no wonder u arabs are always blowing yourselves up and in war with your own country... u arabs make me laugh... hopefully you guys become little more western soon xx

[Roselily182]

WHAT THE HELL!!

"Arab girls are in need for a row-model, because in their region row-models are scares" ???????!!!!!

yes exactly, all what we need is an Oprah Winfrey to educate us, and teach us how to think and live!!!!

[othma4]

fuck you sex rules

[kittycatcarley]

@othma4 HELL YEAH!

[shootbinary]

Oprah rocking it in the Arab world! Whoa!

[angelahopeng]

-yawns-

with the exception of our religion,we're all pretty much alike o.O

[azabdable]

American programs are broadcast-ed there to condition the minds of people with a different mentality and culture....the sad thing is that people all over the world are not keen to what is really happening in front of their eyes. The destruction or corruption of cultures world wide, through globalization they are trying to achieve a homogeneous society., Democracy is not intended to spread freedom. pretty soon everyone will be as Robots, dressing the same and thinking the same. 

[kittycatcarley]

@azabdable Democracy does not do that. Socialism, Communism, etc. make people into robots. Democracy gives power to the people. Power and freedom to common man. Power in the government and freedom to chose who and what they want to be. Separation of church and state is the most important thing for a successful country.

[r10bajjio10]

Islam is derived from the word salaam which means peace. It is a religion of peace whose fundamentals teach its followers to maintain and promote peace throughout the world.

Thus every Muslim should be a fundamentalist i.e. he should follow the fundamentals of the Religion of Peace: Islam. He should be a terrorist only towards the antisocial elements in order to promote peace and justice in the society.

[r10bajjio10]

Many people harbour misconceptions about Islam and consider several teachings of Islam to be unfair or improper. This is due to insufficient and incorrect knowledge of Islam. If one critically analyzes the teachings of Islam with an open mind, one cannot escape the fact that Islam is full of benefits both at the individual and collective levels.

[rubyrocksallthetime]

@r10bajjio10 why do women get half in their inheritance? and that is only one aspect

[0DoubleU0]

@rubyrocksallthetime

There is a distinction because men need money to spend on their dependants, commercial transactions, work and fulfillling their obligations. Consequently, men get twice the portion of the inheritance that females get.

Since it is the job of the men to provide for their family, which would include the women

This is logic and not meant to be degrading or bad. What is more interesting is that we see that the pagans would not give their women anything, Islam fixed this problem.

[rubyrocksallthetime]

@0DoubleU0 this is the exact reply that I was expecting , unfortunately statistics tell a different story , in my country Egypt 8 million women out of the 24 million able to work support the families entirely , so your explanation really doesn't work for them

you are talking about pagans from 1500 years ago , the world has changed my dear , look around you . anyway thank you for replying although it was not convincing

[kittycatcarley]

@0DoubleU0 Grow up. Whether a human being has a penis or a vagina makes no difference, they are equal before God (Jesus Christ) and should be treated as such. Women and men both need money. Grow. Up.

[r10bajjio10]

I am a fundamentalist Muslim who, by the grace of Allah, knows, follows and strives to practise the fundamentals of Islam. A true Muslim does not shy away from being a fundamentalist. I am proud to be a fundamentalist Muslim because, I know that the fundamentals of Islam are beneficial to humanity and the whole world. There is not a single fundamental of Islam that causes harm or is against the interests of the human race as a whole.

[73mandala]

OOOH Jordanians looking too Oprah as a role model? Surely the western world has plenty of educated,intelligent,classy women too look up to than the uneducated,opinionated and classless Oprah,please make this stop,it's no wonder the muslim world looks at us with such disdain

[kittycowmoo]

This part of the world still has a lot of growing up to do, and so do many other people even in the "West." I feel that its important that violence end. Every person is different and many people are afraid of difference, things they simply don't understand, people need to understand though, and they aren't the only ones put in this world . But thats just the way I see it, maybe I missed something, or said something incorrectly but oh well.

[kittycowmoo]

It isn't that "there aren't gay people in the Arab world," the fact is that most people are pressured to marry someone chosen for them (arranged marriages) in the conservative middle east, regardless of whom the person actually loves. So even if Abdullah truly loves Najib.. Those people most likely can't get married to those whom they really love. Instead they must marry those whom their families find "suitable" for them. Not even straight women or men can marry the one person they truly love.

[73mandala]

@kittycowmoo So what even if that is the case,who are we to dictate how others should run their lives? Our western ways are wrong just look at the stats-50% divorce rate,over60% of kids raised in single parent households,disgusting tv shows,drug usage in plague proportions,corruption on every level and a myriad of other failures. No i don't think we have any right or crediability to tell others how to run their affairs.

[321lawc]

@73mandala How about no. Stonings, genital mutilation (of both sexes), and all sorts of other savagery needs to be exterminated.

[73mandala]

@321lawc Stonings isn't my idea of fun but we cannot tell ppl how to run their own societies,these socities have been running with these laws for 1000s of years so it's their business. I was unaware of muslim countries practising genital mutilation,which ones do that? Although western jews practice genital mutilation (circumcision) and have a big party when doing it,so we can hardly point the finger

[khadram01]

Being Gay is not normal in America, this women needs to understand just bc she see's what the american media presents does not meen we are ok with Gay crap

arabs are extremly different than what the west thinks

[MrIhateislam100]

@fasms2 blah blah blah we know very well how you are ,  sick fucks , sharia law supporting bastards ,

[ColorCreateCraziness]

@fasms2 Exally.. they must know that we are as normal as them!

[fasms2]

ok u might think that arabic contries suck but they dont its just jordan and their are very nice places in jordan but anyways jordan is not that rich country but coming to the gulf it is very rich the country is rich and the ppl are rich not a single family is poor all are rich and only some places in suadi arabia are poor but the rest are extremely rich the difference between average arabs and average americans is alot average arabs are rich for average americans

[DalalS92]

fasms2: What exactly are you saying? ok they're rich then what? what does being rich have to do with being nice?

[calchas101]

what a load of crap!!. there are many programs from all over the arab world that discussed so called " taboo" subjects such as drugs , rape etc... before oprah. .

[arabgirl66]

ilike oprah show

[boulaicas]

im lebanese from canada and homosexuality is not a normal thing for me and even i have native canadian friends they dont find homosexuality a normal think so be careful in your comments habilé

[1t34h7]

i'm from canada, and native and i think homosexuality should be accepted, i have always been accepting, and all of my friends AND family have been accepting. it's not something you can deny any more. it's not something that should be bashed. it has been around as long as straight people have been.

[jazzyazz]

I agree. Well said.

[Meggool]

If there is homosexulaity - then it is normal. It really is that simple.

[ruzan10]

@boulaicas I'm lebanese too and the fact that Muslims do not approve of homosexuality does not mean that is not normal. That fact that we are discussing this right now makes homosexuality normal... get it...it is part of nature just like heterosexuality, bisexuality and everything in between.

[hmlovedj]

Operah is a guru in the west world and homesexual-lands,,, but she is an ugly pig once she starts talking about Arabs and accusing them without proper evidence, she attacks them all the time, she never gave a chance for herself to explore more about Arab civilization cuz her butt is too heavy to move and sit on the other chair. She's so blind and iliterate about Arabs and Muslims. i dislike this woman , she black as shape and heart n selfish rgo-centric to her fucking opinions

[shukuratulilah]

@hmlovedj but unfortunately some muslimaat bring this upon themselves, by not studying and being religious and claiming Islam is oppressive to women. I mean there are female role models in abundance for muslim women, we ha Maryam,khadejah and Aaisha radialahu anhuma just to name a very few. We need to stick to the religion seriously

[moesalim88]

I'm arabian an I don't think the Arab world will ever change his piont of view abot Homosexuality and that is a shame

how can someone fight something they just don't understand

[gaqulin]

what makes you think we don't know anything about Homosexuality ?

Are you really Arabian? from where you are?

[moesalim88]

yes I am ... from Libya

I didn't say don't know

I said don't understand , there is a big diffrent

what gives a person the right to judge another human been who done nothing to harm him

that's just my point

I'm not saying it's the right way , I just say it's not harmfull and if a man finds his happeniss in it , why not let him alone and let God only God judje him

[saharashiq]

Still getting used to ??? People practically noone in the middle east watch the government censored channels i grew having a clear picture on the american society..we are not illetrates!!

Actually , Oprah shows bold, actual, and social programs, really she is fantastic and creator, i think she is the richest announcer in the world in addition to that the best in the wold in this field .

[bboyrakoon]

They make us look like we are inferior to the west! We have always had access to new information its not something we have just found!!! I support this doc. to some extent, but i totally disagree wih the way the interviewer portrays us...

[FaggotJesus]

That was quite surprising to see an arab woman talking about homosexuality with compassion and understanding. Their whole society is a bit like ours USED to be. It looks like western media is having a very strong and positive effect on their progress. It just goes to show how powerful the media is.

[KempsGrl]

aww

[lairdofgarscaddon]

One of my professors is hoping to do a study on homophobia in Turkey. This is an excellent video.

[anonariel]

My questions is: why only American tv? Yes, the American culture is quite open regarding some topics, and perhaps some undereducated people can learn a few things, but there are hundreds of other countries out there!

And America needs to do the same; that is learn more about other nations than it self.

[ILoooooveCamels]

Fascinating report, Ms. Gillespie!

[Adv2k169]

It's sad that the Muslim World is so primitive in culture. They used to more advanced than Europe and now they are at least 150 years backward in social development.

I'm glad things are starting to change.

[paulewing81]

ok christine why dont you call text email write to oprah and ask her to come to middle east and do a SPECIAL TV PROGRAMME?? you could base it around the whole barak hussein obama new view point let her show the middle east to american tv audiences give it a try she might say yes !!!!! good luck ps ive been to jordan you really need to open jordan up to tourism petra is closed twice a week what ?? the day i wanted to go the bus was full one bus ???? rsvp

[oaklandj]

I love how fundamentalist Muslims are so similar to fundamentalist Christians over here - makes you wonder if they hate each other so much because they're so alike.

[Otif182]

My firend of mine believes that we should put all fundamentalists together to kill each other and the rest of the world will finally live in peace

[oaklandj]

I fully support that - let the idiots wage a "holy war" against each other and leave normal people out of the crossfire!

[kingsman565]

I like this idea it could be the best reality tv show ever. : )

[meghan42]

Oh my! This is funny. I wouldn't like to see it happen for real though - but unfortunately it is happening. Why does a person need to have beliefs of any kind? It has been said that god didn't create religions - it is people who have created religions. We will never live in peace until we undersatand that god is within us.

[gaqulin]

I disagree, but what this have to do with the video?

[kittycatcarley]

@oaklandj You're right, except fundamentalist Christians don't blow themselves up on a regular basis.

[oaklandj]

@kittycatcarley Neither do fundamentalist Muslims.

[kittycatcarley]

@oaklandj Oh really. IDo you even know what September Eleventh was?

[oaklandj]

@kittycatcarley Sure do. Do you even know what Oklahoma City was?

[kittycatcarley]

@oaklandj I live there.

[kittycatcarley]

@oaklandj The difference is, the OKC bombing was not done in the name of God. The 911 bombing? Was.

[oaklandj]

@kittycatcarley BFD. If some lunatic tells them Jesus, Allah or a giant pink unicorn told them to bomb something, does that incriminate everyone of their nationality? Nineteen 9/11 bombers among 1 billion Muslims worldwide - do the math. There are nuts everywhere.

[kittycatcarley]

@oaklandj Big fucking deal? REALLY? You think that if your Holy Book tells you to go out and slaughter all who do not agree with it, it;s a big fucking deal? People TAKE THAT SHIT SERIOUSLY. You need to GROW UP. G.R.O.W. U.P.

YOu need to read the Bible and th Qu'ran and get your religious facts straight. The God of the Christians says "Love your enemies". Do Christians do that? No. Becasue Christians are human beings and imperfect. The God of the Muslims says

[kittycatcarley]

@oaklandj "And slay them wherever ye catch them". Do Muslims do this? Not all of them, but the radical ones do. Radical Muslims make up about 35% of the Islamic world as a whole. Islam is a religion of about 1 billion people. That's 300,000 people who are willing to walk up to you and blow your brains out.

[kittycatcarley]

@kittycatcarley Excuse me, 350 000 000 people

[kittycatcarley]

@kittycatcarley And of course, that's not to say that there aren't radical Christians out there, of course there are. But no Christian is going to blow himself up just to kill some infidels.

Do the research yourself, don't believe me. Please, do some research, I beg you, it will literally change your life. Ignorance is NOT bliss.

[oaklandj]

@kittycatcarley You are really intelligent, and I see that 35% figure was arrived at after plenty of study (i.e. you pulled it out of your ass).

[kittycatcarley]

@oaklandj Read this: Who Speaks for Islam? What a Billion Muslims Really Think, do the math yourself. I'm serious, read it. Everything is in there.

[oaklandj]

@kittycatcarley It says nothing of the sort. Keep on deluding yourself into thinking all Christians are angels and 35% of Muslims are violent extremists.

[kittycatcarley]

@oaklandj You have obviously not read that book or done the math!! Don't tell me what it says when you haven't even read it! When did I say I thought Christians where angels??? Oh... that's right... I said : "Becasue Christians are human beings and imperfect. " Just like everyone else. I know some pretty bad people in this world, a lot of them Christians. But VERY FEW of them would blow up anyone in the name of Jesus Christ.

[oaklandj]

@kittycatcarley I have not read the book, nor do I have to to know you made up that 35% figure. And yes, VERY FEW Muslims apparently want to blow up anything either in the name of Allah. Again, 19 hijackers out of 1 billion people. Seriously, take out a calculator.

[kittycatcarley]

@oaklandj Wow!!! I know a lot of stupid people, but not one of them has ever BRAGGED about being ignorant! You seriously just sat there and said "I have not read the book, nor do I have to to know..." Wow. I am speechless. I never knew someone could be so purposefully ignorant.

[oaklandj]

@kittycatcarley You are the ignorant one. You *pretended* to read a book you obviously didn't read. At least I was honest. You can easily provide a direct quote to support what you said and I can check it via Google Books to see if you're lying. As a fundamentalist Christian, you most certainly are - you are practically trained to do so for your religion.

[kittycatcarley]

@oaklandj Well since you presume to know everything about me (when you obviously don't - I practice Buddhism and though I believe in Jesus in no way am I religious. I own that book, read it yourself.), I have come to the conclusion as previously stated that you are not onlyEXTREMELY ignorant, but you are impudent and stupid aswell. I doubt you even went to college. Good luck with your life. I won't reply or read any further comments you make. Thank you for an entertaining conversation. :)

[kittycatcarley]

@oaklandj This conversation is done, I refuse to argue with someone who hasn't even researched what they are arguing. Jesus loves you.

[0DoubleU0]

@kittycatcarley

Oh and i think you should go and 'GROW UP' yourself, seems like theres a lot more of your brain that needs developping.

[kittycatcarley]

@oaklandj I have no delusions about how horrible people are regardless of faith. But there is a huge difference between Christian dogma and Muslim dogma, the main difference being that the Gods worshipped are so different. The Christian God is a God of love who says to love your enemy etc. The Muslims God is a God of anger and hate who says to kill your ememies where found. But don't believe me, buy a Bible, buy a Qu'ran and do the research yourself.

[0DoubleU0]

@kittycatcarley

You seriously need to research your facts.

You have been quoting the Quraan out of context.

And By the way, the bible is NOT the word of God,

God doesn't make mistakes, nor does he write

a whole pile of innaccuracies, contradictions or tell

lies about his messengers.

Its sad that you're belieiving a religion that has become

distorted and manipulated by drunk old men.

[hannahr77]

@0DoubleU0

could you name any of these drunk old men and also in what year did this manipulation take place and by whom name plz and as I said a year would be nice

[kittycatcarley]

@oaklandj And thank you, I know you where being sarcastic, but I am very intelligent :)

[oaklandj]

@kittycatcarley Why don't you google JUSTIN CARL MOOSE, kittycat? He's in the news now, and identifies himself as a Christian version of Osama bin Laden.

[johneamer]

@oaklandj Bang on with your observation. The hypocracy of both is amazing and it is all based on myth and magical thinking. Now both will email  me to let me know I will be going to hell.

[kittycatcarley]

@johneamer You aren't going to hell for calling anyone a hypocrite. In fact, I applaud you for saying so. Just know that you're a hypocrite too, but Jesus loves you anyway ;P

[het638]

interesting...!

[vandall]

Suddenly I like Oprah . Arab women unite and slaughter your male oppressers !!!

[ILoooooveCamels]

But that's what's so exciting! These women are liberated not through violence, but through education!

[0DoubleU0]

@vandall

YOU guys have GOT to stop thinking that every Arab Muslim guy

out there is an oppresser. Maybe you should travel to the Gulf and

learn something new.
