Witness - Qat Barons of Sheffield - Part 2

[soulsistasolja]

An interesting thing is that the difference with somalis and yemenis with the qat issue is that in yemeni society it seems that everyone thinks it ok and only a very small minority is completly against it,even the reporter says it shouldnt be an issue in moderation.Whereas with somalis there is a great divide on opinion and it is chewers against everyone else,and they are looked upon negatively most times.it seems it isnt as entrenched in somali culture as i thought.

[soulsistasolja]

By Alllah these 'men' will weep when they recall how much time they lost follwing flase desires.Worst part is their pride in their terrible destructive habit 'we chew 6 day'.

They should give that money in charity,and if the millions in these countries spent their khat allowances on developing their countries then we would see great change.Its no wonder these places are poor.

[soulsistasolja]

QAT isnt bad its Horrible,its an addictive drug which has become so popular because those who chew are in denial about its dangers.What do they know theyre are on a high and when they arent they are looking for their next 'shot'.I wonder if the salah is as much on their mind.

This drug is haram first and foremost and the arguement should end there.

[arab1234pride]

oooh paalease qat isnt bad!

[qwyzl]

qat is probably no worse than pot or cocaine. the trouble starts when psychopaths, wanting a quick buck, start refining the active ingredients of ANY drug-producing plant in to highly concentrated form. THIS is when problems start. in south america, the leaves of the plant from which cocaine is made are CHEWED by the natives, and produce a mild buzz. it's like when one drinks a lot of coffee. no worse than that.

[crazy456eyes]

theyll only ban it if theres a big ass demand by the public... the ban will take place so the government can sell it instead of local business men. that way the owners of this country will get the profits

[Samafale100]

loooool Qat is cooool i cant say it is drug , and m not saying it's gud or bad 4 health m only sure it is just wast of time sitting hours chewing , but it is people's culture and the world shud respect that Yemanian Somlian Jabitian and Ethiopian all those people chew .....in US they say Qat is not legal but homosexual and lesbianty is legal and we r not against it cuz it people's culture so the western people have understand other cultures and respect it .....peace

[TheRuthperson]

Ditchy99089. Qats/khats active ingrediant is Cathinone. Cathinone, as of April 16 2010 is a class B drug. I too think that Qat in moderation is fine as long as it's not to much, but the same can be said for having too much chocolate, television, diamorphine and crack cocaine. I also see that inbreeding is a cultural thing in Norfolk so i dont have a problem with that either. What is critical thinking again?

[GeedanUK]

@TheRuthperson Agree!! Sociological Imagination that's what's up!!

[ditchy99089]

I'm from Manchester. Where can I get khat from? Anyone know then msg me cheers!..

[critikush]

the singer made me look like a QAT face

[Alxalifate]

Qatt will see you through times of no money better than money will see you through times of no Qatt! Ma Hubb!

[hannaxyz123]

has anybody noticed that the entire family has something in common--> horrible teeth!

i have a feeling that their horse-like teeth are related to chewing the green weed

[mar7yan]

Damm wish I was there wollah

[luckyjamal]

Qat is very bad , Qat is haram . People who eat qat are wasting they time .

Inshallah the qat will be banned in the united kingdom.

[goblayful]

@luckyjamal it IS TRUELY hARAM TO CHEW QAT.

i,m FROM SOMALIA and they used to bring the qat from ethiopia at the middlle of the day, specials that carries qad start beebing their horn from corner oft the city and almost haft of the people are running to it like lion is chasing them

[dhagax]

Qat is not good for you. I know it because i am from Somalia !

[ArabianPrincess111]

Lol some of the comments are bloody hilarious! I say if ur in a good mood n want something to end da night wiv den give Qat a go! I'm not a fan of Qat yet if i ever get a chance i'll most likely try it for the sake of it! Gota say tho being surrounded by Qat chewers nearly ever dai of ma life is amazin betta dan bein on streets coz regardless of race n religion we have a laff n actually benefit from som of da convos dat happen whilst the gob is at work ;-P!

[IBUSTSHOTS]

@ArabianPrincess111 When i eat Qat my cock goes so hard like cement and i can fuck for ages. let me know if you want a good hard long fuck and i'll eat some Qat before we link up baby xx

[nadiahas]

[ollylewin]

Good on the Yemenis thats all I can say. As a born and bred British man I dont see the problem in fact I'm gonna give it a blast! :-)

[Kaysaaidi]

qat is the reason that Yemen will never progress. There all on drugs. They chew quat and tell their dreams and feel on top of the world, not realising that it clowdes their dreams and keeps their people living like animals. The only reason the government permits it is control. If these "men" ever wake up from their addiction, they will overturn the government. But, let them keep chewing and raping little girls in "marrage". Allah will have the last word. Inshallah.

[alienworkshops94]

yo im from sheffield

[whitstable11]

watching the television doesn't cause mouth cancer.....

[micahgee]

@whitstable11

She should have said alcohol and cigarettes, which are far more harmful than Qat!

[Wolfsbane909]

Kat isn't addicitve at all, it gives you the energy just like coffee without the crash of caffeine, but rather an alert, focused feeling. I chewing kat once a week isn't going to get u addictive, kat doesn't make u lazy it gives u energy, just like coffee much cheaper too. NOW that its illegal the price of Kat has sky rocketed like mad!

[haimaphil]

@Wolfsbane909 go to yemen and then tell me how it's not addictive, and not makes you lazy. all the energy qat gives to people used to sit for 5-6 hours every day, doing nothing. another reason why people are so corrupt in yemen because they need money to afford buying qat everyday. that's why government is so weak in yemen and disabled.

[hecubusXX]

IM DA KHAT MAN. wow that guy has serious khat tooth

[redbrest]

Great video, The people of Yemen are awesome.

[drmam17]

great awesome wounderfull fantastic

love yemen and yemeni people and yemeni customs and culture

thank u so much for the vedio

[kindsomali]

lamb chops at fathis - that's my joint

[zelem92]

qat is haram end of talk. muslims stop chewin that shit. somalis and yemenis stop it

[wdfknow]

Haraam? According to which Hadeeth? or Ayaah if the Qura'an? Modration... like anything...

[haimaphil]

@wdfknow any intoxicating stuff is haram. Another side to it is social and economical. Because people addicted to it they would rather buy qat for themselves than food for their kids. this is another side which is haram. People grow this stuf instead of growing food. Another argument for haram. You don't need hadith or quran. Use common sense and don't be a hypocrite. This stuff is intoxicating and addictive, like any other narcotic or alcohol.

[wdfknow]

@haimaphil... who you calling Hypocrite? do you even know me? i totally understand what your saying, but dont label me a Munafiq for asking a question, if anything your statemen "You don't need hadith or quran...." who died a made you KNOW IT ALL? thats Hypocrisy...

[germanyinthehouse]

Well Qat isn't so bad depending on how it is used. I wonder what other ways it can be used as well. But for the ugly comments by these Anglo's that should be stoped. Britian has raped the world over and some.

[EasternVibez]

how come some families are more laid back than others? my family back home would never sit like this (mixed) cant even talk to my niece after she is 18years old!!!! is it an adeni fing or what!! someone elxplain

[Adania93]

@EasternVibez Think so, I know some Yemenis whose house we went to... the men never sat with us. But when we chill with Adenis its not a problem. Guess Yemenis are a bit stricter in that sense.

[zamirasboutique]

strange... ur niece would be ur sisters or borthers daughter, u cant marry her so why would it be a problem...

[shangarivanilah]

any family tht needs drugs to come closer is a broken family. qat is considered haram cuz it depletes monery energy time and health

[letmeinpleaze]

Hi Everyone.I've just been down to my local grocery store to buy some knat.I've just met some somalian gentlemen who told me where to buy it & what it does.Having watched this site and having read peoples comments on here all i can say is that i'm very glad to have meet some really nice people bringing there culture to England....What culture does the BNP have apart from hate..Welcome all peoples to Manchester..Music is the best for all cultures...Love to all.

[scorpion2009dot]

اوووووووووووو يابويمن ارجعو اليمن فضحتونا رايحين تخزنو في بريطانيا هههههههههههههه ومسوين جلسات هههههههه ناقص لكم حسين محب

[itubetube96]

[kaleguy]

actually it was nice video, but i do not agree with it bcz it does not give the really resan why yemen peopel chown khat. i advice everybodu to stope that.

[mbleek2001]

i would take qat any day over alcohol. in US they banned because they against any social gathering where people sit and think. But they like alcohol where you act stupid and do violent things. these Yemeni people is part of there culture and been doing for a long time, its clear they do it in moderation with there families and friends.

[gentlesod]

is it me or has that woman at 5;34 got sum big hands

[Ethio4proud]

she is faking LOL

she is addicted to qhat and well experience LOL

[Habbad90]

alie no1 likes khat in the beginning.....usually people clear their throat n dah

[UTubeScareCrow]

loool, nice video, but these are low lives and not many yemenies are like them, these come from they south, they dont work they lie and get disbilty money, and from they goverment,

[IBUSTSHOTS]

@UTubeScareCrow a friend of mine from california who visited yemen for a holiday told me most of the yemenis from the north are either khadems or dehbashis or shameeris, basically the tramps and toilet cleaners and theives of yemen. if you look at the people from the south there clean and light skinned people whereas the one from the north are all black and burnt like shit. anyway you need to go to sanna in the north and see the stink for yourself, then go to lovely south and see the difference

[UTubeScareCrow]

@IBUSTSHOTS who are you to judge yemen, u fuckn asshole, yemen is one, theres no north or south were all yemenies, its just a coupel of rebels we have that fight the gover, thats alll u ass

[IBUSTSHOTS]

@UTubeScareCrow you son of a bitch look at what you say about the yemenis from the south and now you say all yemenis are one. go back and spunk on your mom and sister from the dirty north.

[UTubeScareCrow]

@IBUSTSHOTS ur white, u have no busniess between us, r, ur the ones that are destroyed the islamic empire, by spliting it into nations, and from nations sections which makes us weaker and weaker, ur fucked up man no one supports u get a life u old fre

[robustair]

Alcohol should be banned because it produces violent effects. It should be classed as A category but you won't because you say its a thing of socialising in pubs, clubs and part of western nature. on the other hand you opposing Qaat because you are not earning multi-billions pounds of it. Just think other people cultures as you think of your culture as Alcohol your life part... Get life people.

[micronegro]

man the yemens in england sure got the english ascent hahaha

[micronegro]

start listen at 2:30

........muslim and arab hahahaaha

[bbqlamb]

US tryed closing down KhatChat doot com But now they have reopened about a week ago. You dont even have to login, just chat. HA in your face KHAT HATERS!

[somalifighta]

qat is not only in the yemeni culture its in many other horn of african cultures aswell like somalis and ethiopians

[hamaaan1]

I miss chewing khat. My friends and I used to meet every friday evenig, saturday and sunday to chew. it was such a good time for me. when i finish my school in Canada I will be back to kenya to start back on my old habit. i really miss it.

most people dont understand that chewing khat is good most of the time thought it has side effects but when you balance it with your life its great.

[Gravepunishment]

Get this hypicrite out of this tube.How can you put yemenis in your filthy mouth.Get this tube out or have a bullet in your head,,you shmug! Jews are behind this crap.

[yemen901]

why the hell are u going to talk about qat like that we arabs dont drink beer or smoke weed like some people so we chew qat to hang out ok dont judge stuff u didint try hater

[Gravepunishment]

Do us a favour get this bitch, and mr raji hypicrite omar and get the kat out of our country,,this program are to degrade the hounerable yemenis.We all know that yemenis work hard and kat is not a drug.I still want it banned.

[Gravepunishment]

i also want to know why are these women mixing with men and dressed up like indians.Dress up like a yemeni fear the fire which its fuels are stones(idols) and humans

[YaBaniAdam]

You must be young but that is actually old Yemeni clothes from the South.

[Gravepunishment]

you are a disgrace to the yemenis..I am a yemeni man and i hate kat...so wise up and do alot more to educate our children

[hnnuny]

i live in bolton and i am looking for khat please if know where to buy.

[charliehorse1976]

Where is Bolton???

[hnnuny]

25 min drive from Manchester

[0MonAnge0]

im sorry i hate qat and every part of it it makes me sick to know that people are giving up growning agriculture just to grow qat thats sick and i think that its very dumb of someone to do it. and why are the people keep buying qat and they forget about buying there families food its an addictive plant and i think it should be stopped or it should have a limit

[hhhhhhhh6565]

جو حلو

[al3rasi]

best program ever and talking about the best country ( Yemen)

[fatnash1989]

mmmmmmmmmmm qat

[tazboy777]

There is a consensus among scholars that Qat is considered an intoxicant. Just listen to the ppl that chew it. Every person says it gives them a buzz, makes them feel happy, alert, or reminds them of Yemen (lol). So clearly, this plant has an effect on an individual's mind. In that case, one cannot approach prayers after chewing qat. So, if you miss even ONE prayer without a valid excuse. HOW CAN U CALL UR SELF A MUSLIM????? LEARN UR DEEN PPL!! WE WERE PUT ON THIS EARTH FOR A PURPOSE!!!

[Shriner66]

Khat was put on earth by the might Allah for the purpose of chewing it! Wake up soon!

[3rbjee]

I am yemeny and the qat or khat is so good

it's take you to another world

you should try is ..!

[alperd84]

theres a bit of a dilema here....alcohol was forbidden in islam because it numbed the mind caused addiction...it was feared that it will estrange the individual from its religion, which is the main purpose of life...so if other substances cause the same effect....how come it is not harram(forbidden)

[Simirial]

so its illegal to harvest the plants that produce coca leaves, but ok to import qat leaves, which simple need to be processed to make it much more potent. ??? seems like a double standard, but really who would bother with any and all of this junk.

[YmniPlyaLdyLaya]

lol where about is the restaurant guys!!!!

[translationwiz]

I did have 2 Uncles: who made sure they had it daily lest they fall ill.They were truly dependent upon it. Though it was costly; Ive never knew of anyones financial ruin because of it. Besides,it is a community drug. Often they who have share with the haven'ts. ...Anti-depressant drugs today include the chemical in qat...Figure out a way the spirit of chewing qat can benefit the Yemenite economy??You will have solved Yemens problems forever..It needn't be banned..Just harnessed properly.

[translationwiz]

My experiences w/qat: I was 16 when I went to Yemen. The majority of men chewed daily. In fact the 1st community concern of the day was:"From where is our qat today" The day was dull and lazy after dinner without it. With it they gathered. The aged told stories of wisdom; adults bragged of accomplishments and travels; and the youth promised to surpass them all. Moments of silence were interrupted by rememberance of the prophet as; and the smoking omg...But no violence. ppl were still kind.

[nazpologti]

Pretty much hit the nail on the head!!!! In contrast to the british way of life i.e Working Monday to Friday 9am-5pm, spending the weeks earnings all in one boozy night (Friday!) getting over the hangover on saturday and having a roast on sunday!!!!!!!!!....Yemenis enjoy life daily as apposed to weekly!!!!

[amoosha]

ahhh noo QAT is waste of money and time...those yemenis in sheffield do nothing accept chewing qat.....

[LOVEMY2008]

she is from Yemen and she acted as not from Yemen woooooooow this girl she is crazy

[AWAXHAROLD]

i swear to allah i have never laughed so much in my life like i just did, loooooolz haaaaa... women chewing haaaa, funny shit... there's nothing better than chewing, chewing is class, 3 bunches, 1 packet of juicy fruit, 20 lambert and butler a bottle of coke and some black tea booooooooooooom

[alkalam711]

i am yemeni i don't like qat then i never saw women eat qat but they are so bad people,,,

[sowhathefuss]

Bob Marley said herb is a plant. I say khat is a plant. Alcohol is the worst.

[Shadowsinwar]

omg ...i remember chewin kat ...shit made a a talkaholic....and nicley relaxin!!...and yea it is addictive!

[ymniah07]

for gods sake qat isnt that bad i mean its not a drug like the usa assumes it to be the usa piss's me off there focusing more on qat than weed

[taz112244]

green gold

u aint lying girl

[qa7bah]

thats why yemen is so behind in everything...QAT

[Tareq88]

Don't waste your money importing it. By the time it reaches America, it's dry and flaky. You can't even grow it here. You need to fly to Yemen to experience real qat. Here, we have to wrap ours in moist towels for hours before we can chew it.

[keemo0lah]

hey tell that drunk that you can study or do your work when you chu qat coz i used to study wile i am chuing qat it is very nice and better that the harram thing

[s9yem]

qat is good for you

[nsah123]

"Khat contains the alkaloid cathinone, an amphetamine-like stimulant which causes excitement and euphoria. In 1980 the World Health Organization classified khat as a drug of abuse that can produce mild to moderate psychological dependence, and the plant has been targeted by anti-drug organizations like the DEA."[Wikipedia Encyclopedia]

[belvidere123]

QAT Is Beautiful

[nsah123]

Khat contains the alkaloid cathinone, an amphetamine-like stimulant which causes excitement and euphoria. In 1980 the World Health Organization classified khat as a drug of abuse that can produce mild to moderate psychological dependence, and the plant has been targeted by anti-drug organizations like the DEA.[Wikipedia Encyclopedia]

[belvidere123]

What is your point ya'ni, there you go you said amphetamine-like stimulant, so it is not an amphetamine, i can swear that drinking energy drinks is the same effect as qat. The reason why it is banned because it is from MIDDLE EAST; USA thinks or can be right saying it supports terrorism funds.

[belvidere123]

That's why they ban it Nsah it is common sense, and tell me what American born other than Yemeni is gonna chew qat???? look in the country they chew tobacco or dip it and they more than likely receive mouth cancer??????????, or what about smoking(lung cancer etc...) Alcohol(liver damage) they are all addicting, so fix the problem here before you fix it overseas. wink wink

[offthehook2]

demolisher, just because it is allowed you like ALCOHOL doesn't mean it's not a drug. Qat is one heck of waste of space. Yes, its Tradition...Man made tradition. As for that guy who debates what's wrong with Qat on TV, has been in prison, for drugs, manslaughter. Hypocracy for real.

[demolisher70]

hey mustapha who said qat is narcotics u dumbass if it was how come its allowed in UK duuuuuh

[Shmuelthinker]

Smarty, using that ill logic of yours, then why is it banned in France, GErmany, USA, Canada, Australia, Spain, Norway, Sweden, Belgium,Italy, Hong Kong, South AFrica, Argentina, New Zealand... should I go further?

[belvidere123]

It's banned because they say the money goes to fund terrorist, but if Isreal had it, it's fine, and most of the drugs in America come from ISRAEL. Otherwise its just like coffee, try it and you will see difference. You can't make a comment unless you experience it, these people have the greater chance of winning debates. It's sad but it's true.

[hadrami]

Hey Aljazeera, time to hire another sister from Yaman. cause she is about to get high!!!

[JohnaldChaffinch]

she's off to get high at the very end. i'm gonna try and get hold of some of this plant...

[offthehook2]

what a waste

[MustafaPresents]

A great irony is that two conservative Muslim societies, Yemen and Afghanistan, have economies that are greatly tied to the cultivation of narcotics.
