[nurhijrah1]

I love saudi if the life like this, world is gonna be neat.keep this condition ...by the way, her children is funny, i love him..baby ^_^

[Sortsdam]

Shit it's gotta be 200 degrees in that tent she's wearing.

[sarah9259]

Dont jugde without knowing!

[sarah9259]

Well you guys think that we're always in home like prison, It's not like that we can sometimes go some where we can go we can invite our friends or family? Dont think that we're despreate or something like that? Because i'm a saudi & i think my life is really simple and ok its not perfect or bad its simple and i like it.

[sarah9259]

Well in the islam and the qu'ran told us just to cover our head not face? And they didin't told womens to not allow to drive? Because this is how saudi arabia law is? Islam is nothing to do with it? You can blame the government of saudi!! But not islam because its a peacefull religion if you get to know it better...

[Sortsdam]

@sarah9259 Right. Kill all jews and non-Muslims. Yeah really peaceful. Look it up in the Qur'an, because I did.

[sarah9259]

@Sortsdam WRONGE! who told you we kill jewish are you insane please look at what jewish are doing to gaza they're killing the people even the childerns & they're muslims? i'm not trying to insult jewish or anything and please who told you that... you dont know anything of islam i'm pretty 100% sure you dont. they teach us peace and other things dont judge without knowing!

[automaticchic]

i cant imagine wearing that even for a day!!

[MargeSimpson20]

It sounds she went over the world and picked up lots of different accents.

[csilverio123]

How reppressive this crazy religion called islam is.Women must be covered from head to toe and banned from driving a car.

Terrorism, suicide bombers,ridiculous dietetic rules and rigid segregation of sexes.

How proud muslims must feel!

[altwab]

most of the things that you listed, like sexism and religious extremism are products of social injustice, corruption , poverty and dictatorship , 4 elements that affect almost all 3d world countries, so the problems with Islam that you listed , can as well be found in different forums in most of 3d world countries, they are mostly cultural constructed, than religiously made , hence, it is unfair to blame Islam for them

[csilverio123]

If the four items you mention-social injustice,corruption,poverty and dictatorship-are the cause of religious extremism how come we don't find this fundamentalism in other religions? Besides many terrorists have good jobs and are not "oppressed".

The only thing they have in common is religious fanaticism promoted by the book they call koran.Just remember they justify their acts saying they follow God's will.

[altwab]

1400 thousand killed in the last Israeli operation against Gaza, 50% were children and women, this was justified by some extremist rabbis through the torah , over a hundred thousand Iraqi was killed in the gulf war, than hundreds of thousands of Iraqis died after the American invasion that was obviously based on bushs religious believes, also tens of thousands of Muslims in Bosnia were murderd by serbians just for the reason of being a Muslim..if you want i can mention many other examples

[altwab]

if the Koran is all about promoting violence as you claimed? Than dont you think you would see much more violence from the 1.5 billion followers of islam? After 9.11 Islam suddenly turned form being anonymous to terrorist in the western thought .. now the truth is, Islamic text are really flexible , thus for example it can easily be reinterpreted to promote of feminism (Islamic feminist movement) , while at the same time it can be interpreted to please misogynist cultures,

[altwab]

also it can be interpreted to support peace, and it can also be interpreted to promote violence,nowadays , there is a small group of muslim that came about because of the oppression of secular regime that ruled countries with majority of Muslims (especially Egypts secular regimes in the 60s and 70s) these governments tortured members of peaceful Muslims movement , and because of this and many other factors ,those oppressed members developed their radical and extremist ideologies

[altwab]

they spread ideas ideas among muslims, and got the approval from the poor , uneducated and member that hold a grudge againtst non muslims , however till our days the make a very very small minority of muslims , probably they would not exced more 0.01 of mulsim population worldwide, which is still a huger number considering the fact that there are over 1.5 billion muslims around the world

[altwab]

for example, the face veil, which is widely portrayed as a symbol to Muslim women oppression , is worn by less than 2% of Muslim women in the world ( mainly worn in Saudi Arabia and Yemen) , some countries in the Islamic world not only ban the face veil, but as well ban women from wearing the headscarf, two prominent example of this are turkey and Tunis , two countries with over 99% of its population are Muslims, yet have French-like secular governments that bans the headscarf

[altwab]

now what do I as a Muslim feel proud about? , well I feel proud mostly for the Islamic renaissance that took place from the 8th to the 13th century , were Muslim scientists like Alhazen, Averroes, Avicenna brilliant contributions, created the philosophical and scientific  foundations of modern science and technology

[85fahmy]

i can't belive

[sexPolice1]

ممكن اغازلك؟

[smmeegal]

The men who say the women are happy with their lot are arseholes, the women have no choice but to do what the men dictate but just remember you 'god-fearing' hypocrites the shits gonna hit the fan for you when you meet women who don't play by the rules of men, yes there's still some of us about who haven't been bought. Ridulous statement has to be the men don't want 'their' women to be abused by being looked at hahahahahahaha vile misogynist scum your days are numbered.

[szze1233]

That still seems like a lonely,divided up, cold life.They're probably jus use 2 it.a wait,the men R happy,ofcoirse!Lucky bastardz.They never worry bout broken hearts or their freedom!That's a womans burden.

[sweetdreamz24]

pal , ppl arnt perfect.

[ISLAM4THICKONES]

I read the part of the Koran about embryology, the sun and what stars were.

I am amazed people actually take the Koran seriously and try to say it has science in it!

You got to be joking!

Same with the bible! Talking snakes, kill your kids for being naughty and it goes on and on, complete utter rubbish and adults should know better, I guess child hood brainwashing is very effective.

[usedtobealone]

4 every comments that found it strange 4 women to be covered

first of all

women in islam are diamonds

if you've a diamond or something really precious I bet u'd never let any one touch

n maybe nt let them see it

those r women n my religion

any muslim man would die rather than seeing his sist. or mother or any close women being abused even by looking at them

[LadyJelena89]

oh yeah and what about the bastards who are actually beating and killing them...

women is worth as a half of a man...

and so on???

[usedtobealone]

n where did u hear that from, magazines or media.

u ppl are so fooled by media. wake up u ppl

wake up

[LadyJelena89]

well I dont know other source of information!!! Enlight me please!!!!!

[FROOSAH]

WAit WAiT ... ISLAM DOESN'T SAY THAT MUSLiMS WOMEN SHOULD NOT WORKS.....WORK IS A " Slaves " LIKE ' Reconstruction of the Earth" OK ...I MEAN THE GOOD WORK .. TO BE " Civilized countries "..

[NYbeerdude]

Could you imagine how these psychopaths live? No music?

Covering in front of men (how do you FIND a husband if he can never see you?!?!?)

Even your brother in law can't see you? I couldn't imagine if I NEVER SAW my brother's wife..

THIS IS WHY THEY ARE SUICIDAL. Imagine a world The most basic human interaction is forbidden. Only under those circumstances are men driven to such insanity.

[MissUScutest24]

nybeerdude thats funnyyyy,, u know im a muslim,, and i've been to the states so i excuse u cuz i understand how much it blows ur mind up to imagine never seeing ur brother's wife ever  , for example,,,,,,,,but im sure as u can see this is an entirely different society ,, so they must have came up with a solution to everything,,, the woman in islam should cover everything,, but there is some debate about covering the face, most muslim countries actually don't.

[MissUScutest24]

besides,, suicidals they don't kill themselves because they hate life,,,cuz in islam suicide is forbidden,,,,this act is done by only the extremists,, and they believe that they are defending their cause with blood, that they attempt to die a holy death for it, so its a kind of fighting,, cuz if they want to suicide its easier to jump from the window than to get a bomb. plus this mentality is a reaction by extremists to countries attacking islam countries, as a means of extremists fighting back.

[MissUScutest24]

and i think what u have said is healthy,, cuz its normal for different nations to interact and wonder about each other....

Peace.

[medsousou]

you're great doctor good luck

[I0actually0can]

we are a very fashionable women

we dress up to feel our beauty not for others to see us beauiful ^_^

and the Islam doesn't force us to cover our faces but our traditions does

and this woman respect the tradition's very much ^_^

if you have any question about us I'll be more than happy to answer

but please don't make fun about thing's you don't know about*_^

[I0actually0can]

what hurts me the most that we know every and I mean EVERY thing about you but you don't know much about us.

and the proof is that we know your language and you don't know ours^_^

so please have an open mind*_^

[no0oniSh]

and that guy who wrote that he feels sorry about her :dont!cuz i feel sorry about u n' that u have no idea how u people are getting brain washed..we are not abused,we have all our rights,

and what's really funny that women in your society the moment she gets married she loses her name!and she's got to be named by her husband's name Mrs.something

I hope this really rings a bell in your mindes,,how could it be possible that a person get vanished and be named and called by her husbands name =S

[no0oniSh]

Oh come on people !! cut the crap !

you are all talking about how Islam is abussing women's right while it's not !!

speaking of doctors i just want you to know that since the prophit mohammed (1400 years ago) there was an female doctor and she was a Muslim, while you people ,who think that you are the best, the first female doctor was a french woman and that wasnt more than a 100 years ago ,oh and you dont wanna know what she had to suffer from men in her society ...

[bigalisme]

"middle upper class neighbourhood"

Okay, those types of neighbourhoods don't have freakin' maids' quarters.

If this is mid/upper class, what the hell is upper class?

Oh right.. all the oil sheiks are there.. my mistake.

[Tiguytiguytiguy]

Saudi-tard.

Jesus Christ, that woman's an idiot.

[7MOOD159]

God bless you ..

i just wanted to say .. that not all girls in saudi have to cover up her (face) .. some only cover thier hair .. and thats what islam pointed to the(hijab).

TC

[klantoami2007]

If these bastard Iranian Mullahs are not punished, one day they will kill all Sunni and other sects of Muslim. Muslim has more than 70 sects. Bastard sons and agents of Saudi Wahabis, Pakistanis, Laden, Taleban and Iranian Mullahs always create hate against each other. If those Islamic fanatics are not punished, one day there will SEA of blood in the muslim community. Iranian Shia preach hates to Sunni and Arabic Sunni preach hates to Shia. Islamic fanatics are BASTARD sons of COWS.

[sparks4621]

I feel sorry for her

[samsamiisamiiii]

this is not islam, i have two daughters and i wont let any son of bitch do this to them, this is retardation with all do respoect,

[scir91]

Under Saudi law, it takes 3 women to equal the testimony of 1 man. So if a man commits a crime and two women testify against him, he will get off if he denies it.

[lilchick4u]

OMG............Saudi Arabia is like the oonly most conservative country.......They are so harsh on women..why?...because Allah said so........I mean they have to wear a Hijab.......ok,,,,,,whtever ...but they can't drive.....they can't take part in politics.....they can't go outside with their veil or Hijab......They .....are stricted against everything..I personally just wonder how they feel their....is that what Allah said??..........did he say that women are inferior than men?...Did he???....

[abu7ussin]

...NO

Allah did not say that ... Basically god said that women and men should be decency.

I'm from Saudi Arabia .... And if you noticed.... She said that music is forbidden so from this statement I can understand her religious background.

[oceanwind57]

I am Muslim and I am scared watching this video. This is not Islam, this is insanity. Insanity has capacity to overwhelm any religion. May Allah help us.

[zytrik]

no offense but how can Saudi women can be so updated about fashion?

[tauzuki]

they have good sense of fashion... actually they have lots of woman dress boutique in kingdom but they just only use this dresses in homes or maybe outside the country.

sometimes they import the dress from Lebanon, Syria and UAE.

[lippythegreat]

well whats the point to buying all those fashionable expensive clothes if they walk covered in black everywhere?? i mean whats the waste of money??

[tauzuki]

Nowadays, new saudi woman generation gradually change about this perception. Even the ABAYA now have different style and cuts. Most of Saudi Woman in eastern area they're not covering their faces and it's a good step for them to change.

[shorshkurd]

Um I am stuck between prasing her for accepting that lifestyle and the religious, cultural and social system exists in a country that is the birth place of Mohammad. But it sounds like the lady in this video is pretty happy with her life and family. But i still find it really disturbing that the Saudi gov't is not taking huge steps into including women in political participation. Saudui needs incremental change than revolutionary one. Reformrs continue to shape.

Her English is amazing, 3afyah!

[ra3e1]

كفو والله .. عرفت حق ربها عليها فـ نجحت في حياتها ، اسأل الله ان يوفقها و يستر عليها

[njeridiva85]

this is a classic example of a BRAINWASHED SAUDI WOMAN.its utterly rediculous to me that an educated individual would refuse to acknowledge bondage and cultural imprisonment when theyr living in it.moreover this is a travesty & a HUMAN RIGHTS ISSUE.i couldnt imagine living my life behind a veil and being denied even the fundamental right to vote.if this wasnt a human rights issue theyr would be openly gay people there, or unveiled women driving and living their lives freely.

[njeridiva85]

CLASSIC EXAMPLE OF A BRAINWASHED MUSLIM WOMAN.its utterly rediculous when an educated individual refuses to acknowledge bondage and cultural imprisonment when theyr living in it.i couldnt imagine living my life behind a veil or even denied the fundamental right to vote.this is not a cultural issue, but a human rights issue if it wasnt a human rights issue there would be openly gay people there, or unveiled women driving etc.what a travesty.

[f3m1n4]

I like this video. This video try to say how Saudi Women are being trapped even though they are high educated. However, as a Muslimah, I found this video talk the opposite. It presents how Saudi women are living nicely, securely with lovely family values.

[abdulllah12]

this is the women in my country .. this is good women ..we are so happy for this women ..

if the person has brain he see what the women do in my country ..

بيض الله وجهك يوم تسود الوجوه يابنت الأصل والاخلاق الله يرزقك كل ما تمنيتي ويوفقك للخير

[kirkhamster]

looks like she spent quite a lot of time in the States....she has an american accent

[ananidadi]

i dont know about her being into the States but i know alot of Saudi friends that speaks fluent american accent without being into english country actually i myself speak the american accent while english not even im my *studying field*

[Suki278]

@kirkhamster Not necessarily. Students of the English language learn the accent their teachers teach them. My family has hosted Japanese exchange students who had English accents even though they'd never been to any English speaking country at all.

[concordonly]

Good on you saudi women, keep up the good work

you girls will make it ,the government is taking firm steps towards giving you what has been stolen fro you

Allah be with you and our kind government

[muzairanwar]

mashallah... her lifestyle is very good... she likes to work as well as she is modest and practicing muslim...

may god help you and everyone..
