are you from NYC? yo got an accent like me lol im also a latino muslim and my friends and fam think ive changed my race and that islam is arabic lol. when arabs dont even make up 25% of the muslims in the world. well sister Mashallah how beautiful Allah has shown you the only truth and your kid will grow up as a muslim. Inshallah i want that for my future children to. its good to see another latina muslim Inshallah my mother will be one to one day =]
To those who hate the Muslims out there...what's wrong with being a Muslim? I'm a Muslim and I assure that you're a lot safer with me than the bunch of rascals out there because Islam forbids me to drink, take drugs, steal or rob other people's properties, have illegal sex, cheat and deceit others among other immoral behaviors. Certainly the Muslims wouldn't go to the extent of fighting and killing (without just cause). So what?
Old Man? How old? We need to understand when 'old' people say stupid things, we ignore them out of respect (for ourselves). I know how hard it is. I write this to you to remind myself how we are supposed to behave (as Muslims). Congratulations Sister, you passed the test! GREAT VIDEO -
wow.... you are so so pretty and I am a woman and if I say a woman is pretty, this mean that she is really really pretty like a diamond with no deffect at all whatsoever. May Alllah bless.
I respect her character and her braveness to do this video about keeping your cool and let the haters talk. Good job Hot and cute at da same time but yea Allah is dead and Jesus is are savior.
WOW!!! Way to Go SIS!! I just love ur rave and ranting--and u look awesome--u dont even look married --Alhamdullilah and U have kids--Adopt me as ur aunt--lol--u r smart and funny!!!yeah i better change into a japanese or a french person lol
may Allah ‘azza wa jall continue to guide u through, by blessing u, ur family & loved ones.also by providing u with a righteous husband with whom u can please the Creator & enter the Jannah!
Please make Dua (supplications) for the entire Ummah considering that your are supplications is heard!
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me!
I'm also learning more and more about Islam continually just like you
may your faith grow stronger and I wish you eternal peace, sister
Wanted to remind you that women in the middle east wear black hijab and u know that the middle east is simply a desert lol. Therefor keep it up sister :) cuz it's cold where u at x_x
Sister you are wasting time on something that do not even matter there will a lot of people that would say things that does not make any sense and we can not wast our energy on them
your very beutifull and dont let anyone talk bad of you you are better than me i turn to fighting i see at as a mans argument but they take my fighting and turn it into hate for islam tho i fight for more reason than religious argument i fight racists in our school i fight ones who will try to make themself better than somone because they are a different race or religion without actually working to be better ha as if anyone in this stupid canadian prep town actually worked in there life haha
and i will continue with.."I am sorry if my appearance and my choice offend or hurt you..truly i didn't mean to..and i never mean to..its just because for me islam is what fit me..and i hope one day u will understand and u don't mind to try to understand me..."...
wht he did for me is just a reflection of his insecure feeling..if i were you in your position i will tell him "no i'm latina and i am muslim..islam is not arab..it will nt change me into arab..i still will be part of you..with all good latina culture i can do..if u hurt i will still help u even more ..if some1 harm u i will stand for u..if some1 harassing your sister, daughter, mmother its me who will defends them..cos now its like double duty as a latina n as a muslim..."
To be honest i don't agree if ppl say 'no need 2repon'..we, muslimah, has a duty as nation pillar what ever your nationality...
Im sorry if my opinion not correct as i don't really know how USA life..but as i saw on media USA is the most racist place so i can understand when that man did that because in that kind of environment racial identity will be very very important to give security for any individual..cohesion of a group will help much..pls read my next comment
Mashallah!!!! Sisterrrrrrr creo que tenemos el mismo problema! la gente es un poco ignorante!!!! we have the same problem! I'm Venezuelan and sometimes people just say u r not cuz u r wearing this things!!!! :S May Allah forgive all this kind of people!!!
Thank you for taking the high road and not getting angry. It is not an easy thing to do. Religion can transform people in both positive and negative ways. I'm pleased to hear you say that you have become more peaceful since your conversion. As with any religion, this is not always the case. You are on the front lines of a battle to convince many that your religion is not evil. You give me hope that someday we can all put aside our differences and live as family.
MasyaAllah, I'm loving you already sister! You can have your say, its a free world : ) And I love the way you're wearing your hijab! So modest : ) xx Assalammualaikum!
walekom salam my sister im proud of you . but i want to say everyone that islam is not belongs to muslims islam is belongs to everyone islam is a corect way for everyone and those ppl that they accept islam they are succesfull inshalla in the day of judgment infront of allah that is all :)
sister, ignorance is very dangerous, ignorants usually talk out of fear , fear of knowledge . may Allah bless you and make you always strong and smart inshaAllah !!!!
your best work is to teach them about what is wrong in their cultural ways because the criticism of Islam comes best from someone inside the culture. I am best off telling black Americans how they don't live in fitra. And it is best for you to teach your people. Their ignorant argument with you is a waste of time.....salaam alaikum
@XAbdr I understand where you are coming from. I respect your response and opinion on this. But I have pushed this far behind me. I am at a better place right now. Especially now after Eid. salam walaikum
I am only asking you don't get too caught up arguing with lost people about the stupid things they say. You can't fix them. Some people will always have a problem with you. I am writing you in the cool way after to say you have to measure when you can teach them. Allah has elevated you. So their insults are a waste of breath. You have to see yourself as superior and decide when to teach. You belong to Allah. What they say you are is meaningless. Your job, is to teach them about the bad
my final comment sister. I am simply telling you that you are what you are. If someone tells you that you are Chinese, at a certain point, you waste time defending yourself against every word that comes from people who don't like you. You have a right to be a Muslim in America. Al hamdulillah. People have a right not to like it and to say stupid things. Your first obligation is to Alah and His messneger. Defending yourself maybe is a new york state of mind. Defend your salah
@XAbdr I read your response. I respect that. As you can all tell I made this video three months ago as it was when it occurred. I don't walk around having to prove myself to anyone but I also don't let anyone put me down. I am proud to be a latina and a muslima. I don't parade myself around for anyone to have their way to press their opinions on me or mold me as they would like to. That is what makes me an individual and even better one that prostrates only to Allah (swt). Peace and respect!
Figure out if you should teach them and then either teach them out of sympathy, or just walk away…shaking the dust off and praying the lighting bolt does not come down while you are near them. Don’t fall into the silly trap of thinking you have to defend to someone what your essence is. Your essence is your soul. You belong to Allah…and to HIM we return.
You are an authentic Latina because that is the way Allah decided. You don’t have to be sick or in their sick games or be a piece of meat to be a Latina. Just as I don’t have to shake my butt and be slick Willie on the dance floor and Mr. Mean on the streets. Allah has freed you from the pathological stereotype.Don’t go in the mud or the gutter just to impress those who are already there. Thank Allah that HE has elevated you.
I have to do this teaching bad people thing too and mostly they won’t listen, but they will be more careful about talking to you because they don’t want to get told how sick they are. Don’t engage in the name of hate. We imitate our Prophet. You engage them in love to get them to see you are not the sick one. You are perfectly aware of who you are and you have no need for them to authenticate you.
Spanish men sometimes like to tell me four wives is wrong, and then they say something like, “you get one and then you sneak around on her.” So you have to politely, if Allah gives you patience, turn those conversations into conversations about male Latino cultural pathology. A man is really sick when he thinks leering at you makes him a man.
Allah made you and HE knows you. Anyone who talks to you for five seconds, I am sure they will say you are Latina. The old guy walked behind you to see your butt. When he couldn’t, then he insulted you in the worst way he could. So your options with that man are 1) to let him leer at your butt whenever you walk by him so he will be nice to you, or 2) to turn the conversation he starts with an insult to the pathology in his behavior, which is cultural.
I am a little uncomfortable writing this and hoping you read it, but my intentions are clean so…
I am black American and Muslim, so I have tasted this thing you are angry about. I want to tell you, it is normal for you to be angry, but you should not be. I am an old guy who used to love music (don’t know if it’s haram now). The Who made a song called “Who are you?” And then my boys, CAMEO, made a song called: WE ALL KNOW WHO WE ARE.”
read your article on the new york daily news, I live in London and just wanted to say you're an inspirational person. I hope Allah (swt) makes it easy for you.
I like this video sista, don't let nobody put you down for REverting to Islam. I got lots of latino friends who have become Muslim. It's the truth. They may feel that you have betrayed Christianity and JEsus, but you have actually made Jesus proud because Jesus a.k.a Isa peace be upon him knows Islam is the truth and he will convey that message when he comes down to Earth. May Allah reward you, ameen.
Eid Mubarak, Sister jewelize444, You said a MOUTHFUL! Honey, when I first converted some man spit in my face and chased me down in the financial district. The only person who was MAN enough to help me was the elderly African-American custodian of the BofA who helped me call the police and told me, "Don't be surprised if they don't help you." I just appreciated his kindness. Keep your head high, Sister! :) For the heat: Wet down your underscarf and put it in the freezer a tip from LA. Salaams
Also wanted to remind you the story of the Prophet (saw). When walking through the streets there would always be an eldery lady who would throw her rubbish at him and curse at him. Every time she saw him. Then one day she wasnt there and the Prophet (saw) went to her house to check on her and found she was ill. She ended up converting as a result.
Patience and kindness Sister. Kill him with kindness instead of adding further to the hate.
(but I completely understand where you're coming from)
damn Yahoo posted a new article with a link to this video and suddenly you're going to be overwhelmed with haters full of ignorance, which is IRONIC considering what you are ranting about.
MAMA I know exactly what you are going through, I am experiencing similar, i am a convert too!! AND YEA, the old me would have cracked bottles over their heads too lol! Alhamdulillah that i am Muslim!!
so proud of you girl for staying calm and taking the HIGHER road! there is a poem by imam shaf'iee which basically is like a lion doesn't need to respond to the barks of hounds..i'm impressed how you controlled your anger maa sha Allah
Salam sister. I recently subscribed to you and really enjoy your videos. It is sad that people out of ignorance,disrespect, or just to spark anger in someone could say those things. I know exactly where your coming from. Stay strong and true to yourself. Allah hafiz:)
@Starmoongal Thank you for your wise words. I know sometimes facing the ignorance really could make me angry but I have worked so hard on calming down. So I try my best not to go there with people.
sis any special reason you talk with a slight drag, since i havent met many ppl of the mexican descend, who have the same accent like urs ? btw i am indian and i ddnt take no offence :)
@MrRuggedboy27 Salam walaikum. I am not mexican. I speak with a dominican new york accent. That may be why you hear it as such. My family is from the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico. Thanks for watching.
@chaneta922 Salam walaikum hermana. Y tambien muchas gracias por tu apollo. Si el nivel de ignorancia en esta area donde vivo es mucho y nosotros musulmanes somos en pocos.
I'm glad you did this rant. I have a lot of Puerto Rican revert friends, and we rant on this all the time. I'm not Puerto Rican, but am from South America.. We all have beards, and some spanish people would say the same thing..We just laugh at them and shake our heads. Can you believe some Puerto Ricans say, "You ain't a real Puerto Rican if you don't eat pork!" I'm just like WTF!? lol
@MuslimVlogGuy Thank you. LOL I heard that before and I have had to educate some of my friends and family about swine. Its tough like I have to cook a dish free of pork when i go to family gatherings so my hubby and kids can eat.
You look really beautiful in this vlog sis :) And, I totally feel you. I had a co-worker once ask me if I had a shrine in my room now, when I first converted...assuming Muslims are like Hindus or something, lol. I was like, No! There is a lot of ignorance about Islam. Which may be our fault for not spreading it properly. Some ppl legitimately don't know a thing about this deen...
Your rant was not offensive at all IMO, and you are right to be somewhat steamed. Seriously, what an ignorant thing for someone to say. As a person with a big interest in many world religions, I think it's perfectly clear that race and religion are not one and the same thing. Anyone can convert from one religion to another. Sp many people have. But no one can change their race.
@learina Well, you should know that most Arabs, at least 60% of them, are white =) u need some education in ethics and races dear. I'm an Arab and I'm white =)
@VKM7md u need to get educated! white is a race, asians are lighter than white ppl, but asians never say theyre white.dont embarass yourself, UR NOT WHITE! stop with this european brainwash! i bet ur obsessed with porky pink skin too! and arab isnt a race...there are only 3 races...white/black/asian! ur in denial about what u are! europeans dont see u as white!
@VKM7md What have I said that was racist??? My family lives in the middle east! so please dont go there! you think its racist because I said youre not white? ahahahahahahahhahahaaha! youre in denial and you really need to wake up from your delusion. White people do not consider you white! White is a RACE! go on stormfront or to any white person and tell them youure white and see how much they laugh at you! embrace ur ethnicity and stop worshipping white ppl to the point u THINK ur one of them!
I'm feeling you on this rant, loved the 'old me' part. Glad you used your patience because he sounded like he deserved a slap- suppose you could of educated him but by what you said he sounds like he was what we call in london a "wasteman" or a "bum" lol
@Aaliyasaccount Aww thank you. Yea like sometimes I just don't understand it. I mean before becoming muslimah I grew up in a diverse school and neighborhood so muslim sisters were not a foreign thing to me. I always had respect.
Mashallah sister. I know what you mean I am mexican and when people see me in hijab they think i'm trying to be Arab. Its annoying but sad that people dont know the difference between RACE & RELIGION
@cuddly997033 YES! thank you. You know exactly where I am coming from. It is tough. Some people just don't understand or can not make the distinction.
'The old me would have probably cracked a bottle over his head" that killed me hehe..i feel like we have the same personality =] i am always trying to calm myself down in situations so i wouldnt do something stupid.
are you from NYC? yo got an accent like me lol im also a latino muslim and my friends and fam think ive changed my race and that islam is arabic lol. when arabs dont even make up 25% of the muslims in the world. well sister Mashallah how beautiful Allah has shown you the only truth and your kid will grow up as a muslim. Inshallah i want that for my future children to. its good to see another latina muslim Inshallah my mother will be one to one day =]

I just appreciated his kindness. Keep your head high, Sister! :) For the heat: Wet down your underscarf and put it in the freezer a tip from LA. Salaams

Also wanted to remind you the story of the Prophet (saw). When walking through the streets there would always be an eldery lady who would throw her rubbish at him and curse at him. Every time she saw him. Then one day she wasnt there and the Prophet (saw) went to her house to check on her and found she was ill. She ended up converting as a result.
Patience and kindness Sister. Kill him with kindness instead of adding further to the hate.
(but I completely understand where you're coming from)

Salam sister. I recently subscribed to you and really enjoy your videos. It is sad that people out of ignorance,disrespect, or just to spark anger in someone could say those things. I know exactly where your coming from. Stay strong and true to yourself. Allah hafiz:)

@Starmoongal Thank you for your wise words. I know sometimes facing the ignorance really could make me angry but I have worked so hard on calming down. So I try my best not to go there with people.

I'm glad you did this rant. I have a lot of Puerto Rican revert friends, and we rant on this all the time. I'm not Puerto Rican, but am from South America.. We all have beards, and some spanish people would say the same thing..We just laugh at them and shake our heads. Can you believe some Puerto Ricans say, "You ain't a real Puerto Rican if you don't eat pork!" I'm just like WTF!? lol

@MuslimVlogGuy Thank you. LOL I heard that before and I have had to educate some of my friends and family about swine. Its tough like I have to cook a dish free of pork when i go to family gatherings so my hubby and kids can eat.
Jewelize444 9 months ago
You look really beautiful in this vlog sis :) And, I totally feel you. I had a co-worker once ask me if I had a shrine in my room now, when I first converted...assuming Muslims are like Hindus or something, lol. I was like, No! There is a lot of ignorance about Islam. Which may be our fault for not spreading it properly. Some ppl legitimately don't know a thing about this deen...

Jewelize444 9 months ago
Your rant was not offensive at all IMO, and you are right to be somewhat steamed. Seriously, what an ignorant thing for someone to say. As a person with a big interest in many world religions, I think it's perfectly clear that race and religion are not one and the same thing. Anyone can convert from one religion to another. Sp many people have. But no one can change their race.

Jewelize444 9 months ago
I'm feeling you on this rant, loved the 'old me' part. Glad you used your patience because he sounded like he deserved a slap- suppose you could of educated him but by what you said he sounds like he was what we call in london a "wasteman" or a "bum" lol
