2007 One Nation Contest Winner: A Land Called Paradise

[5027196]

America is a Zionist-controlled zombie ready to destroy everything including itself.

[5027196]

I would say America is a Zionist zombie son of SATAN, ready to be destroyed by God, soon.

[desiguy55]

nuthin normal about the islamic zombies.

[94massari]

I am sorry i love that video of Arab in America, and i am Arab, but this video i found little offensive and i mean i am not Muslim but come on

[muslimha1]

[7anoni]

[nancymohammed]

[BilliKhanum]

This is a cute video, but I think its sad that muslims have to make videos like this just to try and prove to hate-mongers (mostly residing in usa) that we're normal human beings so that they could maybe show us some respect, when if they had it their way they would probably holocaust our asses.

[BruteForceFilms]

this is stupidly random

[jettssolo]

How? This video is actually completely relevant to to what's happening.

[muslimha1]

dear brother/sister, u know what...this is just my opinion. think about it, yes you're right. it's pretty random but hey, those things are what people go through everyday, they think about these things everyday. it is so cool because this is real. it is all real and this is comp was for the participants to say what they wish to say to the rest of the world.&this is a gr8 chance where people get to see that they can laugh at the things they used to get upset to everytime, maybe everyday.take care

[muslimha1]

i mean this is just what i think. just think about it and read it all. if there s still something u dont agree or wanna say something back, u know what to do. to be honest i really wonder what u're gonna think about what i said. u dont have 2 say anything though. hope u dont get me wrong .. :)

[skgremio]

You would have to be a complete DOLT to actually buy into the Quran. So many fallacies, contradictions and scientific errors. So many superstitious acts and scientific errors in the sunna/hadiths as well.

[xxxAngelikaxxx]

YOu could say the same about the Bible too. There are more ways of interpretating the things in it...that is what leads to contradiction, fighting, enemies and wars...

[muslimha1]

sorry, but how do u know that? you should have read the whole qur'an. have u read it? + not just read it but try to understand it. everybody can read anything. th important thing is that u read and try to understand what it actually means. A lot of scientists are convinced the truthfullness of the qur'an by the scientific realities. sorry to say but you should be very clear about what you say. especially if it is about a belief. it does NOT matter what faith it is.

[muslimha1]

hope you read this and not take it offensive.

[barabile]

amazing

[xxsk491]

diversified muslims! :)

mashaAllah

[glowasma]

this is so nice

[Miakinz]

Thank God they put white skinned muslims. Im tired of poeple thinking there's no such thing as a WHITE muslims. Honestly, Islam doesnt have a COLOUR.

Masallah

[dingli786]

we watched this at camp and i was so touched.Muslims hudnt be judged just by the mistakes that others make, every muslim is and individual and muslims are just lik every1 else out there we all are human!!!

[coe4186]

amazing video muslims are amazing i wish my five sister wore scarf without mom wanted them too. very strong...

Allah is god and Mohammad was his profet

Thabateh

[fatimahkhanom07]

¨people are even changing hadiths ok

[torbaf]

Hi, this tracks amazing.

Does anyone know how i could get an mp3 version of this? So i could listen to it all the time?

Please help.

[thedayaseelattacked]

this is a very good video. im an american muslim. ive been living here all my lfe. some racists say go to my home country, but im already in it. terrists stole islam. we want it back. we can do anything you all can. i may be stupid but thats how god made us.

[luxcretia2]

you can`t compare a prostitute to OBL!heck.and prostitutes have from time to time good reasons to prostitute themselves.they don`t do it just for fun

[bluesapphire48]

A beautiful video about a beautiful people.

This is the religion that the West has declared war on. These are the people America is dropping depleted uranium on, that American soldiers are raping and killing.

May God have mercy on us all. I thank Him for opening my heart to Islam. And I am proud to sign myself,

Hajja Romi

[luxcretia2]

lol.muslims are not a people.

[bluesapphire48]

You should learn to use a dictionary. You might learn how to speak English.

Webster's : "people:  a a whole body of persons constituting acommunity, tribe, race or nation because of a common culture, history, religion or the like"

I laugh at YOU and YOUR idgnorance.

[Orlan54]

I think what he meant to say is that the west doesn't declare wars on religions. In Kosovo we didn't go to war with Christianity anymore than we went to war with Islam in Iraq. Also your assertion of "rape and killing" is quite a bit of rhetoric. Very few rape cases have been documented and the participants of those have been put in prison and Americans are not doing most of the killing either.

[fobinator2001]

A critique: You should put more Muslim non-hijabis in this video. It's not representative of the Muslim woman population. Many Muslim women think hijaab is not mandated by Islam, and that should be reflected in this representations of all Muslims. Muslims are liberal, Muslims are conservative. They are a diverse group, not a cookie cutter cult.

[oxyking]

Muslims also kill people. Muslims also conduct adultery. Muslim also commit crimes. Do you want them to put on the video too? Sorry sister but only people who represent the ideal Muslim (even though this doesn't exist because we all sin) are in the video. Don't get me wrong here.. I am not telling to wear the hijab.. you have full right to do what you please but I dislike people who do not represent true islam. Like Osama bin ladin and such folks.

[oxyking]

Edit: "but I dislike people who do not represent true islam and try to represent it. "

[fobinator2001]

So you're equating murderers to people who don't wear Hijab? HAH! Are you from the Taliban? This is exactly what's wrong with Islam today. It needs a revival and renaissance like nobody's business. Your comments are disgusting.

[oxyking]

Ha! I am just saying exactly what you said. Us muslims are diverse that we do practically everything. Yet the video doesn't shows these people. Are you aware that there are also homosexual muslims?

And NO I am not a Taliban. Not even an arab.

[oxyking]

I find your comment to be more so disgusting. There are about few girls without hijab in the video. Yet you want more.. like you will only be satisfied when there are non wearing a hijab. But hey.. I am just a critique.

[oxyking]

There is nothing wrong with Islam!!! Only Muslims who think they can protray islam like you.

"This is exactly what's wrong with Islam today."

[luxcretia2]

this video is not to supposed to be about murder.i am sorry for you disliking people for such a ridiculous thing as not to wear headscarf or hijab.but who gives you the right to decide who represents islam or does not(as i conclude you think that only conserv.muslims represent i)

[oxyking]

Why would I let a homless man conduct a surgery on me? Wouldn't I only allow it to a surgeon. Why would I listen to a naked man with 30 wifes how to fast or what Islam is about? Wouldn't I only allow a scholar or a sheikh to teach me about islam. Stop being hypocritical. You do the exact same thing. The ideal muslim is the prophet (pbuh) then comes the shabah,

Do you think osama bin ladin represents Islam?

Do you think a muslim prostitute represents Islam?

Honestly stop being stupid and think

[bakhtash]

assalamu 'alaikum to the tru God-fearing, I will never understand the muslims that want to be americanised, I mean I'm iranian and I hate iranian patriotism and Iran is a country that is aiding our brothers and sisters from the rapeing and killing of the evil people....so american patriotism is irritating, but when a muslim is an american patriot, that really saddens me but may allah ta'ala guide us and bless us towards unity between the sunnis and shi'ahs so that we can stand against the kuffar

[zaynabk]

ur the first iranian ive cum across that isnt over patriotic, lol god bless

[bakhtash]

wassalam if you are a muslima, yes well, I understand your amusement by seeing an iranian muslim that will not nag about everything in Islam, but sister, there are many iranians that are just like me, just that those who scream Iran Iran Iran are the ones seen and heard!

wassalam if you are a muslima

[zaynabk]

yes i am muslim n no of course i no there r lots of non-patriotic iranians bt ur jus the 1st iv cum across personally cz i no loads of iranians

[bakhtash]

masha allah ta'ala, I understand completely, well, I want to ask of you not to let those people give you the wrong picture, al hamdulillah you have now come across an iranian that is not patriotic, I still do love the country Iran because it is Islamic Republic and also helps the oppressed muslims of the world while every other nation has betrayed the muslims.

[Sonicx565]

So beutiful!

[nenozeze]

MashAllaH !!

[1Abz1]

lovely vid

[LovinLaVerne]

Applause...it is very important to include white american muslims, in order to show mainstream America Islam is not a foreign or minority religion, in fact the US is in the word mUSlim--u show show an African Amer and said "I am not a convert."

[aidroooos]

Terrorists hijacked my religion..

[satalar]

I really liked it! nice video!

[fobinator2001]

most Muslim women don't wear hijaab. so it's pretty inaccurate and pissed me off.

[Yorku1986]

um actually they do...more than ever before. You urself are just not exposed to those ppl.

[fobinator2001]

evidence?

[Yorku1986]

Go approach Muslims and see how they conduct themselves..ask them. Thats your evidence...plain and simple if you want to see for yourself. Its sad ppl dehumanize us, b/c of something we were not responsible for or had to do with our identity and religion.

[fobinator2001]

Well, I'm a Muslim. So I don't why you are getting defensive. None of my Muslim friends wear hijab. It's the minority.

[buttma]

im muslim and ALL my friends wear hijab

[zomorod]

Its cheep way, this video will never help muslims.

[farhadrauf]

Something I would want everyone to watch, It is a great video. Thanks to Lena Khan.

[khaltubibi]

SERIOUSLY, this video is so simple and beautiful and MOVING, that I was pratically in tears watching it. I really wish I could just buy this video and watch in on my tv...Masha'allah.

[zaynabk]

some bits r a bot random bt mashallah really shows the diversity of islam n how we actually do the things every1 else does.

keep the faith and may we all meet in the land called paradise inshallah.

[malaak0express]

This Video Is Soooo AWESOME,

Its Just Beyond Words.. Cant Explain Man

[zubarim]

Great job guys ! It should be diffused everywhere

wa ma3a salam

[MadameAmeen]

Assalamualaikum

I really did enjoy this video, Mash'Allah it is so well made.

It just makes people think that muslims are actually real people who do everyday things. It's like they think we are oppressed crazy murderers and the women have no choice in the way we live. If only they knew how wrong they were.

It really is quite sad

[Kanooz]

I couldn't stop smiling. Amazing video... I can relate to so many of the messages.

[MORTified]

really really nice!!

[bjansari]

Send it to as many people as you can.

[Arzine]

This is a fantastic, inspirational video!

[deema1988]

oh MY GOD I'M just replaying it all the time ,,really thnx alot and i hope it will spread out quickly and the ppl. in general will know us much better ,,, SHOKRAN :)

[deema1988]
