This was an amazing movie for many reasons.I can very much relate to the character of Jasira so much so its eerie.the coming of age story of being the only child to a single father one parent raising has its tragedies.Also the fact that they were in such a super suburbian environment yet all of these hidden disasters were occurring.It was very powerful to me on so many levels.Some of the parts about sex were so hard to watch.
@kaliyuta Also there were some points in the movie that were just so uncomfortable to watch.it shows that a girl does need a mother to teach her about life.boys.Sex.Dating.self care.hygiene and so much more.even then a father i feel should do the same.because of the strictness and cultural traditions her father never seemed to realize that his daughter was in trouble its a very deeply touching story.Also i think they filmed some of this movie in dearborn hts.Some of the condos in ths mvy look sm
@kaliyuta If you did an international survey of men. The question is would you rather have and Arab woman or a Black woman. As mess up as it is Arab women would win. You see it in so many movies with black characters, black women can't look too black but it's okay for the men to be very black looking. The cool or tough image that black people are portrayed works in favor of black men but black women get short changed. So an Arab girl with a black black boyfriend in a movie is nothing special.
unfortunatly u have poor choice of words to attack u enemies, u attack these rats rationally and calmly you win because we arabs are bigger than them and they know it they just jealous and they are getting frustrated and i love it
She doesn't look Lebanese, and Jasira IS NOT a Lebanese name, we don't have desert in Lebanon, nor towelheads, plus, we do not ride camels! haha these stereotypes make me feel sick, seriously.
wtf?!, that was so fuckin' disturbing!!, and speaking of "fucking" the whole damm movie's about it, good lord now i will be scarred for a good week this movie looks sick, who wants to watch a movie about some horny little girl? by the way her acting is terrible, i have never acted but even i could do better than that
djiji2009... finally someone thats openminded!! im arab (kuwaiti) and im not raccist towards anyone.my dad used to live in america in the 60s and 70s he luved it but we can never go back now...my dad says its a whole other country now its not america that he knew...we're just terrorists to ppl if we go there.
this is unbleavable.....i cant you actually think that ALL arabs are HAatters this is sooooooo untrue okay....let me tell yall something in every tree there is a bad apple that does not mean that the entire tree is bad....think about it and open up ur mind to bigger issues in life than racism...and no NOT ALL ARABS ARE RACISTs....maybe few of them are because its a sin for arabs to be racist...all human must be treated eaually
The comments on here are disheartening to say the least. All I hope is that you are young kids (sounds like it, anyways) and that you will grow and mature to see that hatred and intolerance gets you absolutely nowhere in life. Also, a note to wickedwitch222: If you are 10, do not watch this movie...it's hardly appropriate for people over 17 (has some good messages, however).
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
alikos8, maybe your Arab dreams they started the sslave trade movement, but sorry slavery existed in every race and culure like prositition and drug! No Arab that of that all by themselves! Plus Arabs are too wek minded to even start slavery in the entire world! They hate their own kind because of a skin shade! They lust after being White!
to alikos ... I have no idea why they treated u like trash but to be honest here in dubai they treat everyone fair, except the indains :( sad but people here [ not only arabs but most ] r racist towards indians
To reply to your "GO TO HELL" comment I know alot of Persians Jews and Arabs. because I have alot of those friends. They don't act like scum to me. You can't generalize a culture. It's like saying all the British in this world are scum for invading India and pretty much the whole world while using slave labor. the truth is there is good and bad in every culture.
did you live with them? did you live in an ARAB country for 8 damn hellish years?
I know these SCUM inside out, and like I was telling her- these ARABS are scum
While I was in Middle East they treated me like a dog, Now in the WEST where they are "discriminated" agaisnt, now they call me "muslim brother"...HAHAH what happened to "RAFIK" or "Ya KLAB" "DOG"?
You exude such eloquence, thoughtfulness and sensitivity. It's impossible for me to imagine how anyone could be disrespectful of you. After all, you were merely a humble foreigner living for 8 years in a region of the world systematically occupied by foreigners. How could they disrespect a man as great as yourself?
actually the spanish started the african slave trade u dumbass, there are arabs in africa, stretching frome the northwest to the north east of the continent. why would they enslave themselves? either way, the spanish started it.
and FYI, eurpeans are the most racist people, no offense to europeans. look at the darwinist theory, white europeans are supposedly at the very top, because they are considered the most civilized and developed, euro-centrism.
hi, I am an Arab, i know u hate Arabs, I donot blame u this u right. but as an Arab i donot call u a brother bexause u are not. to these Arabs who called u ya klab, thats was nasty and rrally u need to get over that live u life.
Well, the movie is based on the book, "Towelhead" by Alicia Erian, and the character of Jasira, the young girl, is referred to as such quite a few times throughout the novel/film...
wow i cant believe thats what you think this movie would be. its about addressing the problems head on. its meant to be controversial. i think its good to make movies that show how hard life can be for different racial groups. its important for people to know about the very real problems that exist. this movie looks interesting and ill definitely see it.
uh why does everyone care about how people are respected and shit? Arabs are like everyday people they can be angry and mean sometimes. Most americans are angry and racist too. fuck that shit man and just enhoy the movie
yes I am also half persian and (Luxembourgish German)born in America. Plus Alikos88 i am a guy lol. I agree that there is ignorant people in every culture. you have been predujiced against. you should forgive and forget. Life is to short to hate others man. Plus Persians are a totaly different culture from arabs. Although they have the same religon it is still different.
I know the 2nd comment was not directed to you...lol
I have to reply to soo many people I lose track.
Anyway- I agree
And I know Perisan/Arabs are differnt
I am talking about my time in kuwait..
The Arabs and the Kuwaiti-Irani (persians)
had a real nasty attiude
I was 4 I moved to kuwait - the next 8 years were hell
and keep in mind this is NOT just ONE person I am basing my anger off...99.999% of Arabs there were like this.. Honest to God, I cant think of one expeption in all 8 years
No, I'm Irish Catholic, but I'm dating a girl whose half Assaryian and her father grew up in Iran.
He's not angry, he's not racist.
And as far as people in Kuwait hurting your feelings, you need to ask yourself: why would a country and it's people not be resentful at a foreign occupying force? Just like we would be throwing Jap around if Japan had suddenly occupied parts of this country.
It's simple minded, chicken shit operators like you that have fucked this country up beyond repair.
hi, I'm Saudi and i just wanted to correct what you said Im srry if u believe that Arabs are racist or treat ppl like slaves but we dnt?and u have to know that cultures differ from one city to another and Kuwait is a whole different country the way they act and speak and all is different from Us Saudi Arabia,n' Indian,Indonesian,Philippians ppl and have come to our country to work,work is something respectful we have no right to judge or own, and we never treat anyone like slaves
Most Saudis do in fact treat Indians,Bangladeshis and others like slaves.
Saudis are so lazy,almost every one of them have maids cuz they're to lazy to do they're own work!And most Saudis that have maids can't even afford to pay them.So stop your lying bro.
i second that. my husband lived in saudi for 2 years and witnessed horrible treatment that saudis bestow upon south asians. they beat them, kick them, verbally abuse them, pay them hardly anything and the poor workers cannot even see their families for years at a time. It's slavery plain and simple. Huge numbers of married people are having affairs all the time. Saudi is a very corrupt society, I have relatives and friends there (I am not saudi) who know what goes on.
cuz our religion forbids it .. we are obliged to treat everyone equally .. thats why muslims should all wear wait when they perform alomrah .. cuz we are all equals
and btw .. the word Rafeek means friend in arabic not the "N" word ..
you can use a dictionary if u dont believe me
and I as a Muslim Apologize for you for what bad image my brother arab had gave you ..
desert rat arabs? look at dubai and qatar and KUWAIT and al the khaleej countries, who has the best architecture and infrastructure in the world? and noone asked you who you prefer over the other. if youre muslim and you prefer JEWS over arabs, you should just burn in darkest pits of hell.
you lived off the kuwaitis for 8 years and you bitch and complain.
@Lily Ha...you are something. you talk about the Khaleej "Architecture" like thats omething to be proud of? do you know how those BIG buildings are made-- Indian/Asian SLAVE labour! and Prophet Mohammed led a simple life- and look at the Khaleejis..yeah there following his Sunnah... And yes Jews are nice to me - I like them how is that going to make me burn in the Pits of hell? There Ahle-Kitabi "People of the Book" Do you beleive in Prophet Musa? arent they of his Tribe? Bloody Hippocate.
HIPPOCATE??? ARE you fucking shitting me? GO learn how to speak ENGLISH you fucking idiot! oh my god i cant believe i just read that ! thats not even a word, and what you meant was hypocrite, you didnt even come fucking close.
and by the way, just becuase you guys fuckin built them, doesnt mean you designed them. and once again, noones forcing you to do anything, you can get the fuck out if you dont like it, and i dont give a shit about ur islamic interpretations, go kill urself
Dude you need to learn your ethnicities right. European women love middle eastern guys because they are goodlooking. And they are not that far fetched from white. I am white and the most of the middle easterners I see look white. I am half german and persian. So get over it. You probably cant get any women. Dont judge other cultures.
I think what he is trying to say is not to judge others. And Arab and Persians are different cultures. He is not trying to say he is better. He is trying to say not to degrade other cultures. Every women has her own taste. Every culture has its pros and cons.
Ma'am I dont think this Desert Rat is in any position to tell me not to judge others when his fitly racist kind are the ones treating South Asians like shit.
Are you American?
if so ---Remember the JIM CROW LAWS of the South?
I am Indian/Pakistani Muslim, I lived in the Middle East for 8 years...
Its was soo bad there, it made ALABAMA look "tolerant" in comparison
I am not making this shit up. Sperate "ARAB ONLY" schools, Arab POLICE brutality, segregation. Thats why I hate ARABS/PERSIANS
Plus my religion is Bahai. My father is persian but is Bahai My mother is also Bahai. My point is get rid of your hatred. Persians Arabs Jews and Indians are good poeple in general. so dont judge.
ITS THE KUWAIT GOVERNMENT THATS HOW THEY ARE< YOU CANT SAY ALL ARABS ARE LIKE THAT! ARE YOU SHITTING ME TIGHT NOW?? look at yourself, look at your comments, your worse than they ARE
Dude....can you read? i as agreeing with you about the Arabs treating Indians and other ppl like dirt.And btw....Arabs are not white don't you know that white ppl call Arabs Sand niggers Dune coons?Arabs aren't white but they wish that they were.
A great myth that has been crammed down all our throats since 9/11 is the notion that Arabs feel threatened in America, they say that people look at them funny. Bullshit
It is THEY who are the ones that make everybody else uncomfortable, not the other way around.
people look at them funny becuase they make them (people) uncomfortable, DUH, what you said didnt make SENSE. HOWEVER you fuckin IDIOT they dont have a right to look at em that way and they dont have the right to feel uncomfortable by arab presence, because arabs arent threatening, and theyre arent terrorists. ofcourse, youre gonna say ya they are, becuase ur an ignorant ass.
Im not arabic, and thats totally irrelevant anyway. You are a disgrace to your hindu religion! You have like twenty posts on here spreading your ignorance and hate, grow up and get a life. Its people like you who ruin this world.
Who said i hated anyone?I don't don't remember saying that i hated anybody.Or are you just a retard who can't read worth shit?It seems you're the one who needs to get a life dip shit.
Sorry, but I'm not ignorant. I live in Saudi Arabia and I see how most Arabs treat their so-called Muslim brothers and sisters. It is the Arabs who are the ignorant ones, not all of them, but too many of them. Don't try to deny it buddy. Most Arabs need to start acting like real Muslims and not like arrogant bastards. x /
ya well i dont live in saudi arabia, and im not from the gulf, and im not even defending suadi arabians or kuwaits or whatever. i once beat the shit out of a saudi girl here in america bc she was acting superior to me, like who the fuck are you? you cant judge anybody bc other peoples actions, just bc osama is a terrorist doesnt mean all muslims are terrorists. honestly, whatever, i dont even know why im wasting my time...
@777lily777: I'm not judging Muslims by the actions of Osama Bin Laden. I'm Judging Muslims by Islam and the fact that most of them(Arabs especially) don't practice it correctly and are mostly giving Islam a bad name through their actions. I'm Muslim btw, and when I first saw the actions of Some Saudi people here I asked myself, "are these really Muslims?". A lot of them are just hypocrites. x /
and by the way, asshole, i wasnt criticizing ur spelling, that wasnt even a spelling mistake, or even a typo, im not even gonna get into that with you, you completely missed the pronunciation and illiteration of the word hypocrite, u missed like three letters, you killed the word, and you ended ur comment with "u bloody hippocate" are u shitting me right now? like seriously? i have a life dude, bye
first of all fuckface, you caught me at the wrong time, and when i see bullshit, i cant help but reply to it. and since i filled the page with replies, its becuase you filled it up with ur open assed comments. im a girl, im 5'8, and ill kick ur ass and every other fuckin indian ass out there. dont even compare me to some pc geek. u dick. do u even have a dick? i seriously doubt it. youre on this vid, whining and bitching about how some arabs treated you like shit, well no fuckin surprise
you dickless bastard didnt do anything about it, this is probabylt he worst you did. why didnt you complain to them, y you on freakin youtube bitching, you didnt have the balls to stand up to the "arabs" and say something? and if you "werent talking to me" who the fuck were you talking to? when you post a comment, any free person can reply to it. and i dont wait for people to address me for me to talk to them, i can talk whenenver i want and to whoever the fuck i want for any reason i want.
and one more thing, i do agree that people from the khaleej are snot nosed mother fuckers, maybe thats where you get it from, since you resided there for 8 long years and picked up their trashy attitudes, but i can defend myself when i face them, and i dont sit on youtube and bitch about it to the general public. get ur skinny ass off ur desk and grow some balls, you fuckin piece of trash. and you can reply whatever the fuck you want, im through with this video. ciao
arabs are proud of who they are, and they dont wish they can be like anyone else. every person is proud of his or her own identity. who are you to say what arabs are and what they arent? who are you to say whose the best and whos down a level? theres thousands of arabs who look whiter than the average european person. skin color doesnt mean jack shit
wow, like seriously? youre calling arabs racist, and you just pulled the N-word? if you dont like living in an arab state, you can just get the fuck out. racism has existed forever, and you shouldnt whine and bitch if youre experiencing some. so who hasnt experienced racism once in a while. and by the way, rafik means friend, youre a moron, you dont even understand arabic and your misinterpreting their words,
go get your facts straight. im not kuwaiti, thank god,
but the WAY they use it - is meant to be VERY offensive Racial slur.
Like the word "Negro"
in Spanish its a "color" but White Americans used it in a bad sense
same with the Khaleej
and I doubt you ever faced the level of racism to someone yelling and spitting on you on the streets for being a "Hindiya" even though I am Indian MUSLIM.
All we did was live quietly in our segregated "indian" neighbourhoods and were constantly HARASSED by your kind.
rafik cant mean anything but friend, i know alot of cuss words and derogatory words, and im not about to listen to somebody who talks like they know everything, but calls people "hippocates". youre a fuckin disgrace, you dont know what the hell ur saying. go learn how to talk
im not kuwaitti and i do agree that theyre nasty, but yu cant fuckin generalize and say that all arabs are like that. and not all arabs are muslim, theres a big christian population. go blow yourself. and by the way, maybe you should ask yourself why theyre so racist to you? are u an asshole ? yes. are u ass ugly? most likely. are you a bigot? yes. should you fuck yourslef? absolutely
okay ..what the heck she liked melanie a lot she never yelled at her like that ..and she wasn't very excited to see her mom and christmas in the book?!
Summer Bishil is gorgeous! She almost resembles Jessica Alba, she has that Latina or filipina look as well. She was also in Disney's halloweentown, she played a genie! She's a great actress. Does anyone know where i can watch this movie online?!!
By the way the actress is half American half Saudi (Saudi Dad & American Mom) She was born in Florida and moved to Saudi Arabia with her father, then she moved to Bahrain before she comes back with her Mom to Florida to accomplish her dream in being an actress.
The girl is Saudi but she is playing a 13 years old Lebanese girl. (As in the novel.)
I never heard this stupid name before. It is a word that is never used as a name.
Read the official press. The girl in question was born in Pasadena California. Her father holds Saudi citizenship but is of East Indian heritage. This girl is neither Saudi or Arab. In the movie she plays a half American and half Lebanese Christian. The movie is base on the novel "Towelhead." written by a half Egyptian half American Egyptian and is a semi-autobiographical novel. If you're going to post, at least get your facts straight. She was 18 when she filmed this movie
its just a movie... get over it. so wat the girl is from saudi arabia! the movie isnt about her, besides there are plenty of actors who play different nationalities, y r u complaining? if its so stupid, y did u watch the clips? jus so u can make stupid comments?
how did I go from watching "nigga stole my bike" to this video? damn...

I can see you have never been to the Middle East- DONT GO THERE- they will treat you like shit, worse than shit.

I agree that there is ignorant people in every culture. you have been predujiced against. you should forgive and forget. Life is to short to hate others man. Plus Persians are a totaly different culture from arabs. Although they have the same religon it is still different.

Anyway- I agree
And I know Perisan/Arabs are differnt
I am talking about my time in kuwait..
The Arabs and the Kuwaiti-Irani (persians)
had a real nasty attiude
I was 4 I moved to kuwait - the next 8 years were hell
and keep in mind this is NOT just ONE person I am basing my anger off...99.999% of Arabs there were like this.. Honest to God, I cant think of one expeption in all 8 years

Why the GODDAMN hell do white women marry ARABS???
I am not against MOST interracial couples- but ARAB MALES are fucking Mysogynist/Chauvinistic PIGS
And before any of you ASSHOLE liberals jump the "your racist nazi" card...I AM FROM INDIA!!!
I lived in an Arab county(kuwait) for 8 years.
Arabs treat Indians/Pakis like Niggers there.
Were literally 2nd class citizens
Arab men are Fucking savage bastards

Arabs treat Indians like Slaves in the Middle East- they call us RAFIK - literally "nigger"
I lived 8 year in Kuwait (near Saudia)
Fucking Arabs on the street/store would shout "ya RAFIK" to me
DAMN ARABS RACISTS
I am Glad US Army is blasting the shit out of them

No, I'm Irish Catholic, but I'm dating a girl whose half Assaryian and her father grew up in Iran.
He's not angry, he's not racist.
And as far as people in Kuwait hurting your feelings, you need to ask yourself: why would a country and it's people not be resentful at a foreign occupying force? Just like we would be throwing Jap around if Japan had suddenly occupied parts of this country.
It's simple minded, chicken shit operators like you that have fucked this country up beyond repair.

And why would he be racist to you... your IRISH.
Even in Kuwait --- AMERICAN, GERMAN, BRITISH (I guess you could include IRISH) FOREIGN workers were treated with MUCH RESPECT.
According to your Reasoning, The Kuwaitis should have been hostile to them too for taking up "jobs" i.e Civil Engineering
But no JUST towards Indians
alikos88 3 years ago
hi, I'm Saudi and i just wanted to correct what you said Im srry if u believe that Arabs are racist or treat ppl like slaves but we dnt?and u have to know that cultures differ from one city to another and Kuwait is a whole different country the way they act and speak and all is different from Us Saudi Arabia,n' Indian,Indonesian,Philippians ppl and have come to our country to work,work is something respectful we have no right to judge or own, and we never treat anyone like slaves
ba6ah86 3 years ago
I live in Saudi Arabia too,and stop your lying.
Most Saudis do in fact treat Indians,Bangladeshis and others like slaves.
Saudis are so lazy,almost every one of them have maids cuz they're to lazy to do they're own work!And most Saudis that have maids can't even afford to pay them.So stop your lying bro.

i second that. my husband lived in saudi for 2 years and witnessed horrible treatment that saudis bestow upon south asians. they beat them, kick them, verbally abuse them, pay them hardly anything and the poor workers cannot even see their families for years at a time. It's slavery plain and simple. Huge numbers of married people are having affairs all the time. Saudi is a very corrupt society, I have relatives and friends there (I am not saudi) who know what goes on.
nka82 3 years ago
cuz our religion forbids it .. we are obliged to treat everyone equally .. thats why muslims should all wear wait when they perform alomrah .. cuz we are all equals
and btw .. the word Rafeek means friend in arabic not the "N" word ..
you can use a dictionary if u dont believe me
and I as a Muslim Apologize for you for what bad image my brother arab had gave you ..
ba6ah86 3 years ago
@ba6ah86
Yes I know what "Rafik" means- and NO the Kuwaitis were NOT using it to call me "FRIEND" -- it was used a very RACIST word.
Its like calling a black "Nigger" or Chinese "CHINK".
I am MUSLIM- you dont have to explain me my religion.
What did Rasul-Allah say?
there is NO Arab and NO Ajami (everyone is equal)
You ARABS obviously did not pay attention to Nabi-Allah (S.A.W)
the Best part is Kuwaitis were not Racist to AMERICAN/British foreigners there?
why me?
beacuse my skin color?

It is THEY who are the ones that make everybody else uncomfortable, not the other way around.

people look at them funny becuase they make them (people) uncomfortable, DUH, what you said didnt make SENSE. HOWEVER you fuckin IDIOT they dont have a right to look at em that way and they dont have the right to feel uncomfortable by arab presence, because arabs arent threatening, and theyre arent terrorists. ofcourse, youre gonna say ya they are, becuase ur an ignorant ass.

wow, like seriously? youre calling arabs racist, and you just pulled the N-word? if you dont like living in an arab state, you can just get the fuck out. racism has existed forever, and you shouldnt whine and bitch if youre experiencing some. so who hasnt experienced racism once in a while. and by the way, rafik means friend, youre a moron, you dont even understand arabic and your misinterpreting their words,
go get your facts straight. im not kuwaiti, thank god,
777lily777 2 years ago

oh I am WELL aware what "Rafeek" means
but the WAY they use it - is meant to be VERY offensive Racial slur.
Like the word "Negro"
in Spanish its a "color" but White Americans used it in a bad sense
same with the Khaleej
and I doubt you ever faced the level of racism to someone yelling and spitting on you on the streets for being a "Hindiya" even though I am Indian MUSLIM.
All we did was live quietly in our segregated "indian" neighbourhoods and were constantly HARASSED by your kind.

im not kuwaitti and i do agree that theyre nasty, but yu cant fuckin generalize and say that all arabs are like that. and not all arabs are muslim, theres a big christian population. go blow yourself. and by the way, maybe you should ask yourself why theyre so racist to you? are u an asshole ? yes. are u ass ugly? most likely. are you a bigot? yes. should you fuck yourslef? absolutely

By the way the actress is half American half Saudi (Saudi Dad & American Mom) She was born in Florida and moved to Saudi Arabia with her father, then she moved to Bahrain before she comes back with her Mom to Florida to accomplish her dream in being an actress.
The girl is Saudi but she is playing a 13 years old Lebanese girl. (As in the novel.)
I never heard this stupid name before. It is a word that is never used as a name.
moonss2 3 years ago
Read the official press. The girl in question was born in Pasadena California. Her father holds Saudi citizenship but is of East Indian heritage. This girl is neither Saudi or Arab. In the movie she plays a half American and half Lebanese Christian. The movie is base on the novel "Towelhead." written by a half Egyptian half American Egyptian and is a semi-autobiographical novel. If you're going to post, at least get your facts straight. She was 18 when she filmed this movie
