Submission (A thought provoking film about women in Islam)

[zulfitareen]

In the book “Arda Viraf Namag”, the zoroastrian priest Arda Viraf described his

journey into sky to meet his diety.

Accompanied by an archangel Bahman, he journyed through different levels of heavens and hells and crossed the bridge (sirat) before finally reaching his deity Ahura Mazda sitting on the throne in 7the heaven.

In 7th century AD., Muhammad, accompanied by archangel gabriel, claimed to have made the similar journey into sky on a white horse to meet his deity.

THINK CRITICALLY

[Putnis1]

@zulfitareen  you are now boring!

[aamiamoodi]

And Allah is all Knower, he knows whats in your heart no matter you show it or conceal. As far as I think, women around the world are being abused, its not the religion you can blame. There are so many women in America who are raped each day and let me tell you, they do not follow ISLAM.

[Putnis1]

@aamiamoodi Women in america have the support of the legal system. Have the support of their family and friends. Have the support of God almighty.

What are you!

[aamiamoodi]

Well, women in Islam guards her modesty and stands up against any kind of abuse. Islam doesn't ask women to bear or withstand any kind of abuse as this woman in the video says that she silently allowed her father's brother to rape her, no, Islam doesn't permit this. In this video, this woman did not submit to Allah from within as she is in the entire video regretting about not being able to go on to the beaches and expose herself and meet people.

[murtad24601]

@aamiamoodi. That is because the woman began to THINK, and when you begin to think for yourself, and not the way some deluded madman from the 7th century of the Common Era wanted you to think - you are FREE. When she was brainwashed as a Muslim, she did submit. The problem is that you yourself are brainwashed, and we can't help you until you think for yourself. I began to think outside the box; it's about time that you did as well. On a side note, Islam is mental abuse, for men and women alike!

[aamiamoodi]

@murtad24601 Dear murtad24601, first of all, I would like to suggest that before you say "some man from the 7th century" please please do some research and know about that man (PBUH). You cannot judge the whole religion taking one example. As I said before, what is shown in this video seems very emotional and sympathetic, but Islam doesn't in any case allow any form of abuse. Women even have choice of taking divorce if she is being harassed or living with her husband has become unbearable.

[aamiamoodi]

@murtad24601 About being brainwashed, when one is mature enough to sense between right and wrong WITH REASONING (I am not talking in the air) they will come to know what Islam is all about and how good the rights of women in Islam are. You are not forced into any sort of belief or act, its your own decision and common sense. May Allah guide one and all. Thank you!

[Putnis1]

@aamiamoodi Look into the treatment of women in Islam. Are you blind, can't you read.

There is one video in particulare where 5-6 women dressed in blue burka are beatened in public. You hear their screams, watch as they duck and dive from the whip, which they can't escape.

What are you!

[Sahar0408]

As for shayzz.... Salaam alaikom wa ramatullah...

I would just like to say that if u think that those are just rumors of what this woman is saying, you should open ur eyes and get real. These travesties are happening EVERYWHERE! As for angel4jo and reens 79, you should really go some honest research before u make rash comments and don`t forget Allah is God but we do not associate others with Allah. Jesus and the holy spirit are completely separate. May God guise u in the right direction Peace

[Sahar0408]

NEVER forget that women everywhere are abused regardless of race or religion. Many things in the vid r taken way out of context. People judge without knowing the facts or the whole picture. Islam forbides ANY FORM OF ABUSE. Women need to know their rights in Islam and stand up for rights as ordained by ALLAH. I am a REVERT to islam. Huge #s of women r are turning to islam . Do u honestly think women, particularily from the west would WILLINGLY suject themselves to this if it were true?

[RoyalRook]

Not everybody is smart, there are alot of mentally challenged people like yourself do things that no one could fathom. Islam also doesn't approve suicide, but that doesn't stop the muslims blow themselves up till kingdom comes. You know what people respect? Actions, not words or theories. And the facts and reputations about Islam at this frozen moment of time are deplorable.

[shaayzz]

well dont beleive in these kinds of rumours ,,, study islam by urself from Quran and then u will come to know wat is in reality isalm is . Isalm gives equal right to both genders n it is the relgion of Peace .

[nickdemondares]

peace

[reens79]

muhammed was a pedophile & i spit on ur allah & quran

shit on muhammed's face

[bigpencap]

you are Christian or Catholic right? Sounds like

[reens79]

lol i am an atheist believe in humanity

Christianity is a business pope is the ceo of the firm.

only thing that differentiates christanity & islam is that christians dont kill others in the name of god.

[fuunguus]

@reens79

They did in the past tho, many many many more than Islam has ever killed and will probably ever kill. (assuming that Islam wont survive long enough to kill that many)

[cashmirimuslimah]

persons like these need more than death from ALLAH as punishment

by these fake and anti islamic videos

u r showing ur level of understanding islam(the only true religion)

poor people

[AkatsukiKanjiKana3]

Muhammad was nothing more than a fast talking 7th century con man looking out for himself. This illiterate man had no common sense & neither do his followers. He used false claims of religion for personal greed. His intellectual residue is Islam. The big flaw is that a major part of Mos madness included calls to violence & promises of eternal bliss for his most devout followers ie. Hazrat Ali, Ibn Aun, Abd Al-Ashhal, & many more others who'd kill just about anyone the 'prophet ordered' them to.

[AkatsukiKanjiKana3]

[Cont]

These calls to Jihad have metastasized into what we see today as Islamic jihadi terrorism carried out by all major sects of Islam; Sunni/Shia/Wahabi etc.

This idiotic cult has caused chaos in every country it has been practiced. Where u have sharia, u have death & fear. Look at every armed conflict in the world right now... its b/c of "the religion of peace" Islam! Muhammad was a laughing stock in his time. Even Aisha figured it out that Mo USED "Allah" to fulfill his desires.

[AkatsukiKanjiKana3]

"How can one who submits to god be a terrorist?" That's simple. That happens if your god, Allah, advocates terror. Which he does. The quran advocates terror in 3:151, and 4:91 among other places. It even advocates genocide.

"Slay them wherever you find them...Idolatry is worse than carnage...Fight against them until idolatry is no more and God's religion [Islam] reigns supreme." (Surah 2:190-)

Muhammed was a mass murderer and is it surprising he invented a god to suit his blood tastes?

[zaheer80]

There are Muslims who treat the females badly and that is wrong! Islam does not allow that! You need to read the verses of Quran you have quoted in their right context so that you understand their real meanings, wisdom and essence! If there would be any questions afterwards just write me! Muhammad(SAW) did not invent anything, he conveyed the message of Allah Almighty. Please come out of prejudice and hate so that you could see the real peaceful picture of Islam!

[reens79]

com on u pig islam doesnt treat wonem bad wat a lie

wen ur pig muhmmed fecked a 9 year old girl

was that a right treatment.

go n commit suicide.

[AkatsukiKanjiKana3]

[Cont]

Here is a clear verse from the Quran where Allah is boasting about being a Terrorist. Allah (Al-Mu'akhir) also boasts about being a Deceiver.

"Your Lord inspired the angels with the message: "I will terrorize the unbelievers. Therefore smite them on their necks and every joint and incapacitate them. Strike off their heads and cut off each of their fingers and toes." Qur'an 8:12

War is ordained by Allah, and all Muslims must be willing to fight, whether they like it or not. 2:216

[umbaleki]

This is just another fantasy european men have of veiled women. Why does she have to say "thought provoking" things from a woman thinly veiled? Its the profane and the overly sexualized Muslim (oriental woman) that fascinates so many people.

[tubedict007]

How can this video be true, when women in islam would not pray facing the camera man! forget about being naked and praying!!!! Her story seems to be somewhere from arab village but her tone is of the west!!

[momoo911]

Damn! You non-believers are always trying to put our religion down! And this is completely false, cause women are not allowed to recite the Quran loudly, but have to whisper it..anyway.

[dmonegro]

wow so women are not aloud to recite the quran loudl,, wowow and just whisper it.. why women are not equel to men,,,, that's bad,..

[yusufpreece]

this video IS compelling and interesting. but inaccurate and irrelevant to islam.

why stoop so low so as too promote lies of what islam requires.

[johnkariem1]

please try to know more about any religion or a specific topic before you decide to do God (Allah) job on judging...

One of the unique thing in Islam (peace) is the value that women have in it.

women in Islam is like treasure and the men obligation is to protect and look after them with their lives.

Women are princesses in any muslin family and men will and should never beat them... according to coran. so please try to read more instead of jumping around foolish words!

merry xmas to u all.

Men is Islam are not allowed to hit women...

No, you are wrong

Sura (4:34) - "Men are the maintainers of women ...the good women are therefore obedient, guarding the unseen as Allah has guarded; and (as to) those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in the sleeping-places and beat them; then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them; surely Allah is High, Great."

[aamiamoodi]

@themustketeers: “As to those women on whose part you see ill‑conduct, admonish them (first), (next) refuse to share their beds, (and last) beat them (lightly, if it is useful); but if they return to obedience, seek not against them means (of annoyance). Surely, Allah is Ever Most High, Most Great”

[al-Nisa’ 4:34] If a woman rebels against her husband and disobeys his commands, then he should follow this method of admonishing her, forsaking her in bed and hitting her. Hitting is subject to the..

[Putnis1]

@aamiamoodi Your sick!

The verses you quote are clearly from a sick mind, for people of the same constituted vile mindset.

Sick!

[aamiamoodi]

@themustketeers Hitting is subject to the condition that it should not be harsh or cause injury. this means that it should not cause pain.

The kind of hitting that is not harsh is Hitting with a siwaak and the like. [A siwaak is a small stick or twig used for cleaning the teeth]. The purpose behind this is not to hurt or humiliate the woman, rather it is intended to make her realize that she has transgressed against her husband’s rights, and that her husband has the right to set her straight...

[Putnis1]

@aamiamoodi To raise your hands against another is evil.

Even a twig used to hit a woman, the weaker of the sexes is abuse.  The mentality behind hitting a woman is par with anger. Anger is evil, therefore those committed to hitting woman are evil!

[divinegift62]

I have just seen this video, and as usual someone has gotten "culure" mixed up with Islam. A lot of the laws that exist in Muslim countries, though they are rooted in Islam they have been interpreted by the lawmakers according to their "cultural" beliefs. Muslim women many more rights than non Muslim women, when Islam is practiced correctly and not according to any one country's "cultural" laws or beliefs.

[emeraldshore]

The film itself is very powerful and haunting. The English narration given here, however, could be much better. Most inappropriate is the narrator's story of Uncle Hakim's lecherous visits, told with seeming amusement when it should be of black despair.

Submission tells dark truths which are dangerous, even deadly, to express. Theo Van Gogh paid with his life to make this film, barbarically proving what the film claims about Islamic medievalism and violence against women and others.

[phily3agL3z]

maan shut the hell up u ain even be knowin facts an talk shit? thats calld ignorant

[ubersp00k]

"Most inappropriate is the narrator's story of Uncle Hakim's lecherous visits, told with seeming amusement when it should be of black despair."

I disagree, I think it was perfect how it was depicted. It added a lot of substance to the film. We are always so used to rape is always portrayed in a bleak way, this was done in very interesting thought provoking perspective.

[rjlovenu22]

Men is Islam are not allowed to hit women and leave marks on their body and leave marks.

[rjlovenu22]

that is not Islam that is culture. If Islam is practised properly then this would not happen

[Babrai]

Islam is the only way which give the rights to every one but people who dont know about its their problem not the holy religion. muslim treat their women in a way which is mentioned in the Holy Quran. But if u ppl want ur wife to sleep with others n then u call it freedom that is absolutely shame n will lead ur society to the wrong doing. wife never trust husband or vice versa, they always have problems n fightin n every day in court asking for divorce. this is wha u called freedom lol

[lovelypinkflower]

Islam gives rights to every man yes! Don't tell me that it gives women rights. It's not about women being able to sleep around, although men in you religion are. It's about, however, not beating women just because they speak their mind.

[Babrai]

if muslim were not giving rights to their wives then why the non-muslim women coming to Islam in west at present? if u see in west now,more women are coming to Islam than men coz they see Islam as a perfect religion n see their rights in Islam which no other religion or society have.

[kursist]

Well, Islam is the only religion which give equal rights to both genders. It is the only religion which found upon to protect the poor, weak and the minorites. If you just heard wrong things about Quran or Islam, then read the Quran by your self. Do not believe on one who can't read og ever read it. Most of todays mullahs are sold to Dollors. The vers of Quran are as just pure and unchange as 1400 years ago it was. Find out how and why Islam become a religion.

[tranhn]

Yeah, please read verse 9:25 and many verse written after Mo's victory in Medina. Kursist apparently didn't read them.

Allah is but the moon god and altered ego of Mo.

[KAMAIPSI]

Amy, its true that certain group whom may called muslim bu you but if they treat their women in a degrading manner then Islam not to be blamed....

You also lied that Islamic leaders condone...bring your proof.............

[bbbask]

Men like that -tyrants- should be castrated and not just chemically. Perhaps lobotomized.

[calinav]

Wow. God help these woman. If only they could be freed from Islam. Oh help them Elohim of our fathers, creator of heaven and earth. In Yahuwshua Ha Mashiach

[KAMAIPSI]

go check your bible how women is been treated, dont display double standard, dont be hipokrit.

[phily3agL3z]

man shut up there are only 6 million of yuz left on this earth why u tryna get more ppl into it no1 givs bout yaweh nigga

[momoo911]

first of all, before saying anything, you better go back to school and learn how to write simple words suitably...
