[javaq8]

[abdullahalajmi]

[PersianCola]

The candidate, Aseel is a Professor? No wonder she sounds brilliant.

[nshah0]

I love ROLA! I went to school with her brother - I wish I got a chance to meet HER!!! I LOVE YOU ROLA, keep up the GREAT WORK!!! xxoo

[q8y4AllMyLife]

hope best for us , but not this time , i guess they will do a new election , it goes like this and it became a habit now. but GOOD LUCK FOR the candidantes and ministers and we dont want more INTERROGATIONS.

[leolava]

Hope the best for Kuwait, Political issue should be disscused only by the people's of the country.

[aminrahat]

I wish Kuwait and Kuwaities have their future and its decision makings in their own hands... it was about time that democracy gets the lions share in Kuwaits everyday political life! I hope these women wil stand to this hard jobs tasks and will actualy help the nation to procede forward and develope in peace and prosperity.

"thoughts of an Iranian born in Kuwait"

[Q823D]

Hi everyone, im very proud that kuwait is taking a step forward. History has been made in Kuwait with not only 1 female candidate, but 4. All four women are very well educated with PHDs and i really have faith that they will help kuwait evolve for the best. good luck to the 50 candidates and we hope that this time they do change kuwait for the best.

[shadowq8]

To all Kuwaitis reading this. Thank God that we have been blessed with a great country such as Kuwait first of all.

Second, there is only one direction for us. Forward.

[bader175]

i agree totally with you and now that women entered parliament there will be alot of changes in kuwait inshallah

[shadowq8]

they would if they can find your tiny accountant dick

[gimmenick]

kuwaities didnt even choose them, they chose 22 wahabis, i wonder how many wahabis will we choose this yr, i wanted rola dashti, what a difference between thinkin of 3ayam and arabs haha u can tell by the video hahahahaah

[shadowq8]

if you are not kuwaiti you should stfu

[funand27]

No matter what we say politics and religion is always mixed. The problem here is that they use religion as an ecxcuse for women not to go into politics. What would be the problem if they do. I am a Kuwaity women and I know what most women are like here, you may be right they may not be able to hold on recponsbblities becuase they think of other stuff, fachion and etc. The point is not only that mot people that tend to vote are those that are convservative where othere dont even bother to vote.

[44skins]

Hey, I dont live in Kuwait but I am so very excited to see women are NOT being treated like trash and held back and kept down!! Long live TRUE freedom!! Women from Kuwait are beautiful!!!!! Allow them to do whatever the heck they want to do!!!! The only people who dont want women to have the same rights are a bunch of unmanly,rude and insecure men who are really just a bunch of assholes!!!!!! I hope women KICK ALL KINDS OF ASS in Kuwait!!!

[Kuwaiti1990]

thanks man =) as kuwaiti nationalist I loved your comment so much =)

[44skins]

Kuwaiti1990, You are very welcome!! I just hope that the women of Kuwait get exzactly the same as the men get! Anything less would be in the manner of a ...THIRD WORLD NATION!!!

[linkinway]

You are all right my friend. i'm sorry i gave u a thumb down i did it Inadvertently. People in Kuwait have been sick actually from men, even we men prefer to choose women for the voting hoping with their big hearts to change our country without looking only for their own

benefits like most of men did (not all of them, MOST). That's why this time 2 women got votes MORE than men in a very hard situation. pretty sure our Kuwait will be better :)

[YourAverageGuyFromKW]

O, and btw: many women are better than men and these munafiqeen. The way a testimony is done is a way to control situations if the womens emotions ever go out of hand and make a different choice. I don't think the bad people should even vote, but we cannot differentiate in such a world anymore. Atleast in a testimony, we get people (male an female) of who we are pleased with -- in quran -- and not ones who are corrupt, as in extremist etc. Oh well, sometimes you cannot do anything.

[Malaysia1980]

Munafikin

[Q8BritneyFan]

long live the kuwait !!i love my country !! what a democratic!!

[aziz1993]

Second of all, what the hell is it with some of the conservatives that are against women's rights? Honestly, they have JUST as much rights as men. And don't go saying that the religion says men are superior, because they are not. And in the Quran, it clearly states that the women is the twin half of man. Seriously, the extreme conservatives are doing nothing but hindering our country. All they do is bicker like old women. We need people like Aseel Al Awadhi.

[Kuwaiti14w]

Great use Democracy is doing for Kuwait...we just got women getting harrassed everywhere. I serisouly dont understand these liberals, they try so hard to be like the "West" that they over do it. Can you people not be proud of your relgion and Culture? I am a conservative can wait to get into politics ^^

[aziz1993]

Lol, that's because the conservatives in the Ministry are horrendously narrow-minded. It depends on how conservative you are. But chances are you won't win. Our generation of teenagers are liberals - the vast majority are, anyway. And since when did liberals "try so hard to be like the West"? Get your facts straight before you come up with these accusations. And religion? Religion should not be mixed with politics, which unfortunately is happening in Kuwait's government at the moment.

[retlifwolley]

PS: If you make it to the parliament ...and you may... as All Kuwaitis know this can only mean the voting process was a forgery, fake, sham, fraud, scam, hoax, do you read me!....

Don't think for one second honourable people will agree you will lead.... if the election results made a women an MP... ( this means it's an enforced forgery like Kuwaitis know nowadays). So wake up

[retlifwolley]

one word .... one word ... 3eeb = shame

[retlifwolley]

even after ayear have passed the word still stands and events witness for that :

one word ... 3eeb = shame

[LuvSprinkless]

The sorry reality is that...Such "reality" [women in politics] is simple an unattainable truth in countries like Kuwait..Sorry, but its the truth. In the end, the Deen prevails, and we needn't to discuss what women's role is in Islam...

[tma1982]

and you call yourself Muslim ?? hypocrite

[MuslimGhost]

You're the hypocrite, living off of handouts from a corrupt government that steals the wealth of the Muslim ummah and lines their pockets with it. Who gave the Americans the support to go attack Iraq twice? Who turns a blind eye to the Palestinians being oppressed? Who lives in decadence while their Muslim brothers and sisters go hungry? The Kuwaitis and the Saudis. Its a shame Bin Laden doesnt attack them

[tma1982]

First of all, you live in the US!!! second, even if you disagree with us, you don't need to swear and use uncivilized word choices.

[MuslimGhost]

I was placed here by Allah's will. I didnt move here by choice. Besides, which Muslim country should I move to? They are all run by hypocrites, puppet regimes of the kafirs. I actually have more rights as a Muslim in America then I would in a Muslim country. How incredibly sad to say, and how disgraceful the leaders of those countries are. The swearing is a small sin compared to the Muslims who are dieing every day because of the assistance the kafirs are getting from Kuwait

[Swager90]

fuck u ..u fucking jew asshole mother fucker .. go have a life

[MuslimGhost]

Cry more little girl

[Swager90]

ur jealous cuz ur not kuwaity :)

[shaban96]

@Swager90 yuck who would wanna be a kuwaiti when im an american.

dont think too much of kuwait its a desert in the middle of nowhere

[fuscian]

@shaban96 then why are you here posting? you'd rather be an obese ignorant American? be our guest. the fact is you could NEVER be a Kuwaiti. Even if you were born here. I could go marry an American or have my kids born in America and they will be granted citizenship. Loser. Kuwait is for Kuwaitis, we dont want your opinions.

[garybsg]

@fuscian Kuwaitis wouldn't have an opinion or anything without America.

[fuscian]

@garybsg Google Gulf War Coalition, over 52 countries from the UN participated in the liberation of Kuwait. First time the UN actually did anything right. America didn't contribute much, they couldn't even defeat the Vietnamese.

[garybsg]

@fuscian What complete crap. The US was the main fighting force and the prime driver. Do you think Sweden lead the effort???????? Vietnam we lost because of US political reasons. Do you think the US could not defeat third world Vietnam but defeat Japan and Germany? Do you have any clue of what you are talking about. Please go back to school

[fuscian]

@garybsg What you stated was all opinion kid. Back to school? I dont think you went to a Military college. You lost vietnam because of the terrain. You defeated Japan because of a nuclear bomb dipshit. You defeated Germany because you had 20 million Russian die on the eastern front as well as coalition of british, french, american and canadian forces on the western front. Shut the fuck up retard. Your country is no better than anyone elses and the fact that you are here commenting proves it.

[garybsg]

@fuscian fuscian We destroyed Japan's Navy and army. Even so, we invented the bomb and that was our advantage. The US could not defeat Vietnam? That's beyond stupid. The Russians had taken millions of causalities but deaths don't win wars they lose them. Russia was vastly supplied by AMERICA in food, planes, tanks etc. The Brits were on the brink of defeat and France had already surrendered. Dream on. Muslims(like you) hate us but the US is greatest nation on earth. Sorry dude but it's true.

[fuscian]

@garybsg Pure ignorance. You defeated nothing. Without Russian, you'd be speaking German. You did not invent the bomb dipshit, more uneducated ignorance. Loser.

[garybsg]

@fuscian The US had 50% GNP wealth OF THE WORLD during WWII and the Russians were starving. We had massive factories producing bomb, planes, tanks ets. Russians production was destroyed. They put most of their factories on trains and sent them east. We had nuclear weapons, they did not. They were unproductive communist vs. most efficient productive capitalist country on earth. They had no chance against the US. You clearly pull shit out of your ass and have no knowledge of history.

[fuscian]

@garybsg No references to back up your statistics. Enjoy living in your safe little box with your fabricated facts loser, keep living and drinking the fear served by your government.

[garybsg]

@fuscian The US 50% GNP is gotten from United Nations Economic data. The UN does world comparisons from compiled data from around the world. Secondly, are you suggesting the US did not have the bomb? Not sure why you hate the US but I love it. No other country can compare. Have a good one ;)

[kwayteya]

instead of preacing islam start with yoyrself and know the basic teachings....such as not swearing at your fellow muslims. The muslim women were included in the most fundamental of decisions in the time of the prophet pbuh...they were included in "Shura" councils.

Women in kuwait make up the bulk of the kuwaiti population ..should they not have a say in .how their country is run.

ISlam teaches equality and we as Kuwaiti women beleive that it is a right not a privelage for our voices 2 b heard

[sgsfdgfsdfsdfsddf]

@kwayteya lol

[MeLikeGoFast]

This woman is most likely fearing for her life.

[suspendedb4]

u are deffenetly right arabs should apologise to turks for their selfish arabic tribelism ideas

[baburo101]

I see somebody going after Bhutto (RIH). I'm not a Kuwaiti or an Arab but I feel these kind of ladies are brainwashed by outsiders. Therefor, her cancerous tumor should be "prevented".

[sad253]

The USA and the whole West are so proud to see that those who not long ago had the whole world under there knee is following there foot steps.

Look in to the history when did the West learned what FREEDOM IS? OR EVEN peace.

Did America ever had any Femal PRESIDENT OR RUN FOR ONE, except know?

Why did it take this long?

Arabs needs to seek forgiveness, and start apologising to the Turk's the last ISLAMIC POWER.

Wich the Arabs destroyed in the name of TRIBE OF ARAB

[drtan4care]

You are definitely right. Now look what their plight is. We non arabs should have our own representation in this world.

Arabs are infidel, immoral, disgraceful and racist criminals in this world.

[soloaye1]

I am sorry to listn to such idiot comments against women. I think women are not less commpitant than idiot Arab men who are good at nothing.

[crevelle]

Are you fucking kidding?!?Are you fucking kidding?!? If you have a problem with women in politics then give us some insight and debate, but nobody wants to hear your nationalist homophobic rhetoric. Be constructive not ignorant.

[Tereeb11]

I wish Saddam killed them ALL. All the Kuwaitis are gays.

[laborgrunt]

No, you are an IDIOT!

[schwingrocker]

hehe, why is that?

[bazyan1]

hope she wins

[Tereeb11]

hope she will loss.

[baburo101]

I see somebody going after Bhutto (RIH). I'm not a Kuwaiti or an Arab but I feel these kind of ladies are brainwashed by outsiders. Therefor, her cancerous tumor should be "prevented".

[laborgrunt]

You sir are a tangible embodiment of ignorance.

[HistoryCentral]

Yes thats a very great idea, weak minded less attractive women should not have children, please ugly bald Male bosses at work, cut their hair short just like their Western women idols.

She will end up retiring happily in a nursery home with nobody to breath their air, because she didn't bother to raise a family.

This is good, we don't need low-IQ women that reject their BIOLOGICAL evolutionary role in life we don't want their Manlike ugly looks crude mannered DNA in our Gene pool.

[Biggy56]

Kuwaiti women are the biggest sluts in the Gulf. They have even the most Lesbians in the arab world. They need a new Saddam to whip their asses and rape them.

[HistoryCentral]

where did my beautiful comment go??

[auamoti]

please don't continue the cycle of hate. conduit's comments do not deserve response.

[xrami69]

feminist devils from hell.

[HistoryCentral]

[Ahaweesh]

OK now its clear Jazeera is promotiing immorality and destroying the basic family structure.

I am UNSUBSCRIBED from this Western mouthpeice!

[PinkoPapist89]

Best of luck to her.

The way for the West to support social progress in the Middle East is to support people like those women, not ceaselessly attacking Muslim countries. Think about it: if that is the perception we are creating of Western values of liberal democracy et al, i.e. something that involves bombs and invading armies, then who in the Mid East would want to associate with it?

[dxbcc]

°i hope she will win  :)

[ubuibiok]

Gee, go plow you concubines and dream of those heavenly virgins that have nothing better to do then wait for you to show up in Heaven... Liberate me from your stupidity and quit making them wait any longer!

[mth71]

Good luck.

[auamoti]

liberty is the only issue.

[retlifwolley]

So, are you free today ? or not ?!

[bbproductionsLA]

I heard Kuwait is a mirror of the U.S. at this moment. A family member visited and told me hijab isn't common at all like one might think it would be. kan ya makan

[lastnymleft]

Kuwait's a fascist oligarchy, on the verge of open bankruptcy, too?

[lastnymleft]

And the US is constantly preaching that 'Israel is the only democracy in the middle-east' - what BS!

As it is, Israel is no more a democracy than North Korea, single-party Iraq, or apartheid-era South Africa.

[retlifwolley]

Do u still believe that although every gulf state is more advanced than q8 ..!?... what did democracy give kuwaitis except a good waste of time , money and lack of progress ?

[retlifwolley]

Dear Memen ... The Arabs knew and offred the world a number of Civilisations long before this corrupt democracy was forced into the region. The Muslim/Arab leaders have made history only too bright not to be seen by blind people. Dectatorship, Democracy, Libralism .. these vocabulary is only used by colonial forces that have occupied the Arab land. I hope Kuwaities realise that Democracy is not the answer to their problems nor is it indeed the solution to our affairs locally or internationally.

[retlifwolley]

Even today those how read the news know that Kuwaits' development is hindered by its so called democratic system. You don't have tto agree with me for history never forgives losers. If you fool your self soon you will accept lies as reality. WAKE UP....CAPATILISM, the mother of Democracy HAS FALLEN.... do you read me !? Islam and Islamic systems are here to stay.... WAKE UP....Its really not a compitition.... its only your life!!

[retlifwolley]

For those who gave this response a thumb down.... what do you think today ?!!?

I think I'm right. The comment is correct.
