  • In other words she has no answer. This is a change in tone from earlier talks. I'd like to see her address the hatred taught by imams in madrasses.

  • " A new generation of Muslims will bust out of their culturally and politically isolated cocoons and passionately reclaim their voice and narratives; one that has been stolen, used, abused and hijacked by extremists, terrorists and fear-mongering propagandists. Watch out for a major cultural renaissance as a new generation of Muslim artists and storytellers grab the mic, enter the arena and speak their voice with a revived passion and purpose."

    –Wajahat Ali, Muslim playwright and attorney

  • @MLBinwa And honestly iam not going to talk about the Fatwa because before it was issued we already knew that the Quran condemns terrorism in all its forms.But trust me its a lack of knowledge which forces us to develope suspicion and fear towards each other when instead what we all must be trying is to get to know each others perspectives. We might have differences but we have more in common than different and its crucial for us to realize that.

  • @Armana14

    Great comment, thanks for posting it. Do you have any favorite verses from the Quran that condemns terrorism? 

  • London, England (CNN) -- A Muslim scholar has issued a fatwa, or religious ruling, that says suicide bombers are destined for hell.

    Tahir ul-Qadri condemned terrorism and criticized Islamic extremists who cite their religion to justify violence.

    Ul-Qadri's 600-page fatwa is "arguably the most comprehensive theological refutation of Islamist terrorism to date," according to the Quilliam Foundation, a London organization that describes itself as a counterterrorism think tank. ...

  • Continued...

    "Terrorism is terrorism," ul-Qadri said at a news conference hosted by the foundation. "Violence is violence. It has no place in Islamic teaching, and no justification can be provided to it ..."

    Ul-Qadri is the founder of Minhaj-ul-Quran, an organization with hundreds of thousands of followers in South Asia and the United Kingdom, according to the Quilliam Foundation. ....

  • she is hot.

  • East and west are two warring brothers

    Both too proud to acknowledge each other

    The edifice which shines the western worlds light is built on centuries of scientific eastern insight

    It is true to say the least that the west would never be the west without the east

    Today it is the east's turn to learn from the western world

    Politicians try to divide the two but poets and lovers know whats true

    East needs west and west needs east let the fires of war drown in a river of peace

  • Thanks Monica,

    Maybe more more Poets and Lovers will become Politicians during these interesting times.

    The world can't continue much longer on the course we appear to be on. Luckily the Light is shinning and growing in many Hearts around the world. We will have some amazing results within a few years. Once we realize we are all ONE and that we need one another to survive and thrive.

  • Monica, you're so sweet, good hearted, so full of good will!

    I tend not to be that romantic!

    Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) recognized these problems, already visible and tangible in his days! I quote:

    1)

    "All the people like us are we, and everyone else is they"

    2)

    "Oh, East is East, and West is West, and never the two shall meet,

    Till Earth and Sky stand presently at Gods great Judgment Seat"

    Good wishes most likely won't become reality! Why? Nobody wants it!

  • clever,beautiful lady.

  • If we were to wake up some morning and find that everyone was the same race, creed and color, we would find some other cause for prejudice by noon. - George Aiken

    what Im trying to say is that religion is just an excuse to fight for what you want! Israel wont leave Palestinian land because Israel is not a big country and people are just coming and coming.and about the Muslim fundamentalism ill just have to say that our golden age is over and I AM waiting for a Renaissance. Rania gives me hope

  • I have to add that "comments pending approval" is disheartening and reading the comments below...rather a joke. Someone below just wished "death to both of you". What exactly would constitute as an unapproved comment???

  • When I first created this account, I had some porn spam, other then that I rarely reject any comment.

    Please feel free to continue posting intellegent comments if you want to help educate people.

    Thanks

  • The moderators question at 7:00 was excellent. Wish there had been a better response. The rift between east and west is not geopolitical, (ie Lebanon), it's cultural. The whims of politics are not just the ideals of politicians but the perspectives of common people, (as we are a democracy...you are not).

  • Uma Rainha que está a altura de falar de temas que só os Grandes Políticos e Presidentes se atrevem a fazê-lo em público. UMA RAINHA COMO NENHUMA, A MAIOR RAINHA DO MUNDO.

  • HAMAS = ISRAELI GOVERNMENT (ZIONISTS)

    They are both backwards assed and retarded. We need new leaders that are willing to compromise. Obviously the middle east peace process is a joke because that's how both leaders are taking it.

  • It is Abbas and Fatah, no Hamas.

  • Sophisticated, stunning, smart, elegant, brainy, fantastic equals Rania. I look up to her so much. God bless her

  • peace between jewish peoples and palestinians can easily be acheived. a universal disarmament would be the first step. money placed into mass projects de salination plants for water supplies would help arab and israeli farms. less media coverage would help. and also educate western people about the islamic sects, sunnis are pro west for example. arms, oil, and banking is a problem too not the average arab.

  • To Thegreatkurt.Americans after 9/11 asked the same question.Does India has any army in a muslim land which does not belong to them?...Like Kashmir !!?

  • i know a lot of arabians watch this channel but can you explain why did islamist groups targeted mumbai...I lost my brother in the attacks..why arent the moderate muslims doing anything about these insane extremists

  • I am a muslim, I don't call myself a moderate, I'm a muslim who respect people's beliefs and even if I am not a terrorist and even if I condemn everything they do, I just want you, thegreatkurt, to accept my apologies. I am very sorry for your loss. And I wish we could find a way to understand one another.

  • i really loved the speeach of the queen.... she is a wonderful model of an young arab moderate openminded modernized lady.... keep it up queen rania

  • Thank you, MLBinwa those were great lines, especially the ones by David Hawkins.

  • Your welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed them.

    The Hawkins quote matches what Queen Rania was saying at this conference.

    If we don't look at why people hate us, we will never solve the challenge.

    If we kill those who hate us and want to kill us without understanding, then how are we better then them?

    Most Americans don't understand the history of the Middle East, don't understand Islam and many don't even understand the history of their own country and faith.

    That is changing!

  • the crimes perpetuated by the brutal over weak has tremendous implications harms the soul of the victim if only crimes against victims could be averted people could be more human than demons and the world cpould better place without these demons

  • Hey Schaums,

    I just finished rereading a book that had some quotes you may enjoy.

    "peace cannot be achieved through violence, it can onl be attained through understanding."

    - Albert Einstein

    "Those who would lead us into cynicism or anger, lead us away from healing."

    - Marianne Williamson

    "Society constantly expends its efforts to correct effects rather than causes, which is one reason why the evolution of human consciousness proceeds so slowly."

    - Dr. David Hawkins

  • "We have not fallen into crisis after crisis because our ideals have failed but because we have never applied them. A return to the highest hopes and dreams of the Founding Fathers might rescue us. We determine which future we create by the views we hold."

    - Robert Theobald 1929 - 1999

    Hatred of war will not bring peace... Only Love of peace will bring about those conditions."

    - Jane Roberts

    "You must be the change you wish to see in the world."

    - Mahatma Gandhi 1869 - 1948

  • Those were great lines. Thank you.

  • This is SO important for everyone in America to see! Thank you for sharing this video. I love what Her Majesty is doing.

  • I agree with you. I would add that it would be benificial for everyone in the world to listen to what she said.

    If we did our world would become more peaceful, as the majority of moderates would be able to deal with the extremists more effectively and their numbers could decrease.

    Right now, thier numbers seem to be increasing because we are fighting Evil with Evil sometimes.

  • Remember you are Children oF AL ADAM.

    Reminding you To This FACT

  • MLBinwa English is not your first language or you dont even knw what you talking about.When you saying (FORM)In Islam there is only one Formula.from Indonesia to Andalus to africa to China,we all believe there is no God But allah,and Muhamad (PUH)is his messenger.What am I afraid of you talking about I am very proud to be Muslim.Secondly:If I dont believe Jesus,Moses,Abraham,and Adam I AM not MUSLIM,as a matter fact I have to say peace upon them when I mention their names is in the Quran.

  • English is my first language.

    By using the word form, I meant something like:

    4 established manner of doing or saying something

    13 MODE : KIND : VARIETY

    (this are from a Merrian-Webster English dictionary)

    Do I understand you correctly in that you believe that there is only one form, type, kind or variety?

  • MLBinwa let me know whenever you get the answers.I asked you what all the bibles think about the SODOMY.I dont want to use Gay,because thats not the correct word,and would you except a homosexual Priest or preacher.I still dont have an answer.last one,did you find out what is the fastest religion in the world and why..

  • Amareto,

    I have asked you several times about your faith and you have not answered. Are you afraid to let me know which type of Isamic faith you follow?

    I also asked you if you think Islam preaches hate?

    I am aware that the bible says that sodomy is not right in a few places in the old and new testament.

    I do not know if Islam is the fastest growing faith, but have heard that it is. I do wonder which type of Islamic faiths are growing.

    I do not know why it is growing fastest.

  • Rania has been profoundly frustrated by arabic societal disgraceful realities that she was pushed into indirect desperate denial of her culture.She wants to make-for the West-an image of the Middle-East that does not exist.The Middle-East of Rania is a figment of imagination that the West would reject to believe,not for truth sake,but because the West wants the Middle-East to remain backwarded region inspite of all kind ingratiating initiatives and quests of the well-spoken Jordanian Queen.

  • What image of the MIddle-East do you think Queen Rania wants us to think exists?

    If you know history then you know Muslims helped the West remember some of the ancient wisdom of the world.

    Everyone on the planet owes something to the wonderful minds of many Muslim brothers during that timeframe.

    Soon many will know that we are all brothers and sisters and that there is only one Creator. The many versions of the Truth about the Creator will disapear soon enough as there can only be 1.

  • Rania

    Do not challenge the intelligence of the WORLD.The ME- with all its disgraceful problems- is an integral part of the world.

    Faking these ingratiating smiles before the blunt judging assessing eyes of West will never make the Midddle East any better than what really it is.

    Please,Queen Rania, Save you inititives to address the First World through the lofty air that exist above the short real disgraceful (moral,religious,social and economical heights) of your region.

  • Queen Rania came across as a very intelligent, Loving, compasionate women to me when I filmed this.

    I see her as trying to create a more peaceful, Loving, respectful world by getting people to really understand both sides and open up communications between East and West.

    Not side is perfect or has all the Truth, since neither side is United and both sides have learned from each other over the years.

    It is a Time for Unity, but not all will agree or want it.

  • Amareto,

    Are you a Shii, Sunni or Sufi?

    Who do you believe was the successor of Muhammad ibn Ishaq?

    Do you respect the people of the book and Jesus, Moses, Abraham and Adam?

    Do you know the main messages and commandments of Jesus?

    I am currently enjoying learning more Islam the history of your faith. I have also started reading the Koran.

    Peace be upon you and the mercy and blessing of God.

  • MLBinwa I answer your question I hope you answer mind.Stop being diplomatic..pls.I beleive there is NO god but allah and that the prophet(PUH)is the messenger of allah.Any Muslim you ask on the face of the planet will tell you this.There is only ONE form.if you judging me based on what a group did is ok,you have the Cathlic church who paid 600000000 million dollars of damages(abusing children)are all the catholics child molesters.WHY IS ISLAM IS THE FASTEST RELIGION ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH.plS.

  • MlBinwa how about this:Go to Google or youtube,and put (The fastest growing religion in the world)and why is it the fastest if we preach hate ,than give me an answer..ouch..There is only one Quran not Qurans,with all do respect..as a muslim we see the christianity as the people of the book..How come you guys not United and have one book..One more question:is it ok to a gay person to be a priest..doest it say in the Bibles..I have to put(S) (since is not one Bible...Straight answers pls....

  • I did not say that Islam preaches hate, but some of the followers do, just like some Christian and Jewish people do.

    You still have not answered my question of which form of Islam are people joining in America?

    Which form of Islam do you follow?

    Do you think Islam preaches hate?

  • I admit that Christianity is very divided at this time. I know there are many different bibles and the bible as most know it wasn't set until around 300 AD.

    I also know that most Christians don't know much about their history and haven't even read the bible, but that is changing a bit.

    Humanity is facing very serious challenges, and I fully believe that many wonderful things are happening right now and will continue to happen in the next few years.

    For me, Love wins in the end.

  • MLBinwa you running out the Bushs.I think you are a JEW you claiming to be christian.First off If you believe forgivness.what Bible we talking about.there are many Bibles,so which one you believe.Secondly: why is Islam is the fastest growing religion on earth.according to CNN 7 people convert to Islam in US alone everyday. Third question hope u answer this time: Would you forgive me if I invade your house and rape your family,than kill them .Would you offer me a tea or would you kill me.

  • Hey Amareto,

    Which form of Islam are people converting to in the U.S.?

    I have read all of the top bibles in English and have studied bible history so I am aware of many of the difference versions, and many of the challenges with the translations ect...

    For me the main thing Christ taught and commanded his followers to do is very easy to find and understand.

    Most Christians are like most other faiths in that they don't really understand the history of their faith.

  • As far as what would I do if you hurt my family. I would forgive you, as well as see that you have the law hold you accountable.

    Forgiveness and accountability are two different things.

    I just would't hate you. Do not repay Evil with Evil.

    The bible is very clear as well as many other faiths that this life is only temporary. It is a drop in the bucket compared to Eternity

    I believe that we will all be held accountable for the things we do.

    May Peace come upon you.

  • I need to know this:who told US media that Rania speaks for Muslim women of the world?

    Rania wields an important and destructive political role,as she wants to build a fortune in at least 2ways:1)she registers state lands in the king's name,&then sells them at high prices and pockets the money;2)she has entered into business with Baha' Hariri in Jordan(sources say the Hariris paid Rania anywhere between $75-400 million.This about a kingdom that was created by the fountain pen of Churchill

  • I do not know who told the US media that Rania speaks for the Muslim women of the world.

    In fact I don't know if anyone ever said that.

    What I do know, is that I felt she was a wonderful women. Very inteligent and Loving. I felt she really wanted Peace between all peoples of this planet.

    As you may know lots of countries were created with pens.

    I do not know about her business dealing, but it seems like you are baised against her.

    Are you a Mslim? If so, which branch?

  • 1.I am Jordanian,&I know the situtation in jordan better thus I can better judge Rania's actions..she exploits that impressive public relations machine that the US funds to appear as you are thinking..in Jordan,she is a corrupt tryant.2.she always says that she represents the "true islam"&others (especially those who oppose her actions in Jordan)are extremists and not real muslims..check her videos and see.3.I gave facts about her corruption, do your research on google,then judge my opinion.

  • Hi Zidanojo,

    I did a quick google search and found lots of positive hits, and a few negative.

    Below is a quote from the following website:

    (mentalmayhem (dot) net)

    "In a 2005 report by corruption watchdog Transparency International, Jordan ranked

    37th out of 145 countries in the world in terms of official corruption levels.

    The report ranked Jordan fourth in the Arab world, after Oman, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar."

  • The above website also said:

    "The Amman prosecutor general recently indicted 350 people on charges of corruption, a senior interior ministry official said on Monday.

    "Abuse of public and private posts has wrought havoc on our economy and development," said the official, preferring anonymity due to the sensitivity of the issue.

    "We need to send a message that Jordan is a safe country for foreign investors. We can only do that by cracking down on corruption.""

  • google "kingdom of corruption". Of course you will find lots of positive stuff..she like her husband has an effective public relation machine to beautify themselves and fool people like you. we, the silent majority have few fora as Rania's security services will retaliate against us if they discover that we protest their actions. See also the Human Rights Watch's reports on Jordan.

  • Do you know of one country on our wonderful planet where there is no corruption?

    We have had, currently have and will continue to have corruption in America.

    Would you like to comment on you? Have you been perfect? Are you faultless? Have you had thoughts which you or someone else could say is bad, wrong, or negative?

    I'm not defending corruption.

    All of us who do what is wrong will pay a price for it (I believe that).

    I wish you and your country best. All things change.

  • sect, not brand, religion isnt some sort of product that you label it a BRAND.

  • Hi USSSR,

    If you read my comment again, you will see that I said, "If so, which branch?"

    I did not call it a brand. What I meant by branch was:

    Was the person a Sunni, Shii, a Mistic Sufi or some other type of Muslim believer that I may not even know about.

    If the person is a Shii, I'd like to know if they are a Twelvers or a Ismailis which as you know are the two major divisions of Shiism.

    Islam is no different then all the major faiths in that there are many differences.

  • I'm sure you know that the roots of Shiism go back to a conflict over the succession to the Prophet Muhammad ibn Addullah.

    I read the below information from the book "Wolrd Religions" by General Editor: Michael D. Coogan

    "A handful of respected Muslims chose Abu Bakr, Muhammad's close follower, as the first caliph, to the dismay of those who saw Ali ibn Abi Talib, the Profit's son-in-law, as his rightful successor."

    Please let me know if any of this information is incorrect. Thanks

  • MlBinwa I am still waiting for your answers.You idiot,the reason you point fingers is,you diverting your problems to other people,and by the way..why is Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world..20000 converts every year in USA alone according to CNN eventhough is larger# than that..

  • Who did I point fingers at. How did I divert my problems to other peopele?

    I just posted some verses from the bible.

    If most Christians did what Christ commanded them to do as followers our world would be much more peaceful.

    I'm praying that we continue to wake up and do what he commanded, but right now, many don't really understand the bible and what they are required to do as followers.

    It is getting clearer so there is a chance for some real peace within the next few years.

  • MLBinwa you did not answer my question..

    WHY YOU DIDNT FORGIVE BINLADEN..

    YOU DONT HAVE AN ANSWER DO YOU...

    i KNOW I SAID I AM NOT GOING TO COMMENT,BUT THAT DOESNT MEAN DONT ANSWER IT..AGAIN..WHY YOU YOU DID NOT FORGIVE BIN LADEN,SINCE THE CHRISTIANS FORGIVE EVEN THE PEOPLE WHO HURM THEM..

  • Hey Amareto35,

    I was out of town. That is the reson I didn't answer you.

    I do forgive Bin Laden (if he did it)

    Now, why haven't you answered all my questions?

  • The queen's work,trying to link the two worlds,so different worlds, is a wonderful beautiful work.I really have a lot of questions about the Islam, but which religion is perfect??My message to the queen:congratulations on your work!!

  • MLBinwa if christ(peace upon him) told you what you are saying,than how come Christians attacked iraq and afghanistan.Why you didnt forgive Osama Bin ladens actions.(Lets say he did it).Who are you trying to fool here.Salahudin followed what christ said, he did not kill one single person when he cuptored jerusalem and you guys Butchered the Muslims when you cuptured Jerusalem.Pls.stop insulting my intlegent..

  • That's a good question.

    I'd have to say that the main reason is that most Christians are not followers of Christ and have not read the bible and don't really understand the history of Christianity.

    It's pretty easy to read the bible and find out that Love and Forgiveness are Keys to being a follower of Christ.

    The majority of Americans want out of Iraq and have for years.

    We are not in control of our government, but that may change since we know it and what change.

  • MLBinwa YES YES YES..The people who harm you their friends,or anybody who support them what so ever.

  • Can you tell me where in the Koran I can find the parts where ALLAH says you should curse people?

    If this is true then this is a major difference between what Islam and Christianity teach.

    Christ taught us that we should Love our enemies and not to repay evil with evil.

    I will give you some verses in the next comment.

  • Romans Chapter 12: 14 - 18

    (New Revised Standard Version of the New Covenant)

    Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them. Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep.

    Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser then you are.

    Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.

  • Romans chapter 12: 19 - 21

    If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peacefully with all.

    Beloved never avenge yourselves, but leave room for the wrath of God; for it is written, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord."

    No, "if your enemies are hungry, feed them; if they are thirsty, give them something to drink; for by doing this you will heap burning coals on their heads."

    Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

  • Ok,let me try ome more time.the quran said you can curse the people who is against the ALLAH and the KITAB(the quran).the curse can be anything,whether you say:Cancer,Lukimia,Diabete,GO TO HELL,or it could be god damn you..Basically is up to you how to put it..You telling me the innocent people who are dying in Iraq,or Afganistan,or palestine who are helpless and they dont have anything do defend themselfs cannot curse..Well they do.I guess I made myself clear.

  • Thank you for your answers, but you didn't answer the question of if you have read the Koran in it's original language?

    Do all Muslims read the whole Koran?

    If so at what time do they read it?

  • MLbinwa let me tell you this.You can curse anybody who is not following the quran.600000 Iraqis died because of Bush,and this evil ruler in Jordan is shaking the devils hand (BUSH).I swear(Walahi)if I would of choose between this evil who is claiming King and Bush,I would of chose Bush,because I know what is he stands for.The other thing,allah has 99 names one of them is king,and only Allah can claim to be King and we are his slaves,and the funny thing is they know all of that.

  • Thanks for the comment, but you still didn't answer my questions.

    Will you answer them now?

  • Is she is Muslim..Dont you remember what happened to your father in law.(HUSEN)he died for cancer,how come he didnt beat the disease since he was claiming that he was a king.There is only one king and thats ALLAH..not you,not your father in law,and ofcourse your puppet husband trying to be american.I hope you get cancer too like your father in law insha-allah...Is so amazing,I never saw a kingdom who got help from another countries and their people are suffering,typical third world heh..

  • Hi Amareto35,

    Can you answer some questions for me?

    Does the Koran teach you to hope that people get cancer?

    Do you feel that ALLAH wants you to wish harm to other people?

    Have you read the Koran in it's orginal language?

    I have not read the whole Koran yet, and I will only be reading it in English, so I know I won't get the best understanding reading it that way.

    I also know that I don't fully understand the context in which it was written or the history of Islam. Thanks.

  • The people whom are criticze the queen because she is trying to improve the international image of the arab world after it is being damaged by extremist messges and by western extreme media (Fox news, CNN, ...); specially after 911, do not understand the image that Arab world have abroad becuse if the propaganda.

    She is simply starting a dialouge and encourraging solutions to main Arab problems. Ideals and isolation and palying the victim is not enough. Get on the table snd show yourself.Peace

  • Thank you for your comment.

    Queen Rania did a great job or representing the Arab world to the 1,000 people who attended this conference.

    Extremism sells on our media right now, and some people even make lots of money off selling fear and misunderstanding.

    We are nearing a critical time, because we can not go on like this for even 40 more years.

    The critical situation is helping to manifest wonderful solutions.

    Through education and Love we can take the power from the extremists.

  • I need to know this:who told US media that Rania speaks for Muslim women of the world?

    Rania wields an important and destructive political role,as she wants to build a fortune in at least 2ways:1)she registers state lands in the king's name,&then sells them at high prices and pockets the money;2)she has entered into business with Baha' Hariri in Jordan(sources say the Hariris paid Rania anywhere between $75-400 million.This about a kingdom that was created by the fountain pen of Churchill

  • مشكلة الملكة انه توظف جهودها في اطار اعتذاري للغرب . تقربا او تأثرا لا أدري. المهم عندها هو الترويج لصورة غير حقيقية للعرب في السوق الامريكي والاوروبي بعد تجريدهم(العرب) من بعض حقائقهم الاجتماعية والدينية والسياسية المخزية.وسؤالي لماذا لاتقوم الملكة رانيا بدور اكثر جدية وتواجه مشاكل الاقليم الذي تعيش فيه من غير هذا البهرج الكذوب.؟؟

  • The dispairity between the rich and poor is soo wide. The social gradient is directly related to familial ties, which over the social groups are askew more than any country in the world.

  • Dear Queen! Some westren circles are projecting your image as mediator between the West and the Middle East, which is a positive thing.But some talk about the CIA predicting your Country, Jordan,to be expanded in area, and that by adding to it, in the future, some parts of Saudi Arabia, Iraq , and Syria, which could provide a substitute land for the Palestinians , who are in the Diaspora to return to, instaed of returning to Israel. Is that a conclusion of your ongoing mediating campaign?

  • Who are the Palestinians? They are Arabs and never are distinct people. The conflict in the middle east is because of the Arabs lack of respect for others, such as Jewish people who were born in Hebron. But the Arab world whose ideology is entrenched in Islam doctrine is extreme to the core!

    Queen Rania, you are in denial of the shortcomings of the Arab world, I am afraid.

  • It is you, rachterry, with a distorted view of history. The conflict in the Middle East is because the jews felt persecuted in Europe and elsewhere so they felt they can take another people's land. Shall we give the Mormons someone else's land because they feel uncomfortable? Maybe the Texan cult should be given a country because they want one, and the people of that country should simply leave

  • See, people from America have controlled the world since the 1930's. They feel it is their right to impose who should live where...

  • Yes, Queen Rania, you are beautiful, well spoken and educated, but first you live in a glass house while your people are backward, barbaric and live in poverty especially some of the Arabs who fled Palestine after they were encourage to do so by the Arab world leaders as their goal was to destroy Israel, thus got destroyed. I hope you find it in your heart to absorb your own people whom you kept as 'refugees' in your own midst..shame!

  • Actually, rachterry, there are Palestinians. There are no "israelis". A French jew living in Palestine homeland is France. A Polish jew homeland is Poland, an Russian Russia etc. I have never heard of a group of people with two homelands, one for their nationality and one for their religion. Perhaps we should have an international homeland for Catholics too.

The Palestinian people are some of the most educated people that reside in the middle east. The Palestinians were forced to flee THEIR lands and since 1948 have never been treated with any respect. We must remember MUCH more than the Holocaust Shame on us as Americans! The western world and the people in the US need to be more educated on issues other than ourselves.

  • Perhaps we are wrong, after all, and palestinian problems are caused by israelis, pakistan is in trouble because of India, Chechnia coz of Russia, Bosnia coz of Serbia, Indonesia coz of Australia, Chipre-Greece, Lybia-USA, Sudan-Christians and soooooooo onnnnn... Muslims are not guilty, never. The rest of the world is. Right? We are talking about a world conspiration against muslims. How Occident can't see this simple?

  • WOW

    A woman from the Middle East with a brilliant mind that is able to use it and express herself! Novel idea!

  • Well , she is used to install forgetness of the arab rights. As long as she palys defensive , she is useless. She may focus over the unjust politics in the West towards the Middle East.She must talk about that courageously and honestly.

  • In Jordan.. under the rule of 'king' ABDULLA and 'queen' Rania:

    * Freedom of assembly restricted:

    As for the Public Gathering Law, the government seems to have intended it to prevent demonstrations in support of the Palestinian Intifada.

  • Yes, queen Rania and king Abdullah are somewhat liberal and may believe in the west, but their actions speak volume. They are afraid of the Arab/Muslim Brotherhood..rest assured! What sad about that they don't do what the preach, they are afraid, horrified.

  • lange rede, kurzer sin

  • I think the arab world needs more leaders like King Abdullah and Queen Rania. They are liberal and open minded and you can not but feel proud when you see or hear their point of views on issues that matter most to the people.

  • Muslims stay the FUCK OUTTA THE WEST! YOU DON'T BELONG HERE AND NEVER HAVE! THIS LAND IS NOT NATIVE TO YOU. THE WEST ONLY BELONGS TO THE INFIDELS ATHEISTS, CHRISTIANS, JEWS, HINDUS, HOMOSEXUALS, BUDDHISTS ETC.

  • I am also assuming that this "West" as you put it, is not your native land neither. It is interesting for you to post a comment, but maybe you should research it first. Oh yeah homosexuals is not a religion, you seem uneducated, sorry to see that. Oh well good day my fellow westerner.

  • Even you Queen Rania who are apparently quite well-educated believe that the cause of Arab despair lies with Israel or with the West. Even if the price of oil quadruples, the money will be spent not for education and well-being of Arabs, rather, it will go to fund terrorists. Examples: Iran, Saudi Arabia, Iraq under Saddam. Open your eyes and look at your ways. And, why not call the West Bank Palestinians back into Jordan so they can have their true country.

  • Jordan was and is Palestine and now they even got their queen. There is no more cause for Middle East conflict.

  • There will be, ventec, no middle east conflict when the Palestinians are give back their land. That means Polish jews going back to Poland, Russian jews to Russia, etc. Because you were persecuted by the Germans does not give you the right to take another people's land. Shall we give 80% of the U.S.A. to the Armenians because they were persecuted by the Turks?

  • It was Jewish land in the first place.

  • And it was Native American land in the first place. Are we giving that land back to the Indians?

  • And that is the jews' belief. and I'm sure in your mind that's all that matters. Really, Mel Gibson was right. It is the jews that start all the wars.

  • Tempac, you obnoxious idiot. Christianity started in the Holy Land. Does that mean Christians from all over the world can live there? Judism is a religion not a nationality. What other people have two homelands- one for their nationality and one for their religion.

  • Look up history before you say that.Jews hav no land.When led out of Egypt to the promised land Moses Went to speak to God and when he came back the Jews had made a golden calf. God banned them from entering the promised land making them wander the desert for 40yrs eating manna and replaced the jews with a God Fearing and better nation

  • No ! It was MY land - death to both of you.

  • I agree that most of the tensions that exsist from the US and other arab countries is Israel.

  • Hajja Rania, inti bit7ki katheer, you talk too much. Youre giving me a big headache...

    okaaaaaay you win.whatever you say, the world should live by...You are the Queen of the world.....I give up

  • i so admire her. wise, beautiful, artuculate woman

  • The injustice the west saw with the Lebanon war was Hezbollah hiding amongst civilians...How does Israel defend itself without fighting back? The fault of the dead babies and bodies is due to Hezbollah. They started the war...they put innocent peopel to death.

  • Israel always uses that excuse when they are slaughtering innocents, right,taps711? Even when they use children as human shields. Were you there to see Hezbollah hiding among civilians, or are you relying on the "honesty" of that wonderful israeli government.

  • Beheadings are the Jordanian way of life..Opression and Dictatorships are what you get IF you avoid losing your head.!

  • Growing rift?

    There is no growing rift. It´s exactly the opposite. "East" and "West" are getting closer. Much closer, and that is what is producing so much conflict. Both cultures are beginning, for the first time, to approach. Never has been USA or Europe so close to the Middle East. We have never looked so closely to each other. We have never tried to exchange cultural issues. Economically, politically, culturally... We are getting so close that a big part of both societies are resisting.

  • we have to be think about the good thing her

    so we can live a beter life and and try to understand there languge and there thought and to try to find something that can help us with this broblem cus its not the midle east broblem its broblem we made it and can fix it

  • Some stereotypes are correct. Arab countries, including Jordan are dictatorships. That is a true stereotype.

  • um... that's fact, not stereotype.

  • True!!

  • Jordan is a constitutional monarchy like the U.K., not a dictatorship like Iran where the leader is called "The Supreme Leader".

  • See the movie FITNA for the Truth!!!

    Google "jihadwatch" and go there to see the movie.

  • It's not the truth. The makers are german who doesn't understand muslim at all.. Why you so narrow skeptistic?-_-;

  • We need more leaders in the world like Queen Rania! She's the best!

  • i agree on everything. she´s just too damn hot :D

  • Jordan is a dictatorship not a democracy.

  • I agree with everything she said. Didn't really hear a word of it,but I'm sure it was good.

  • i want her to dump her husband so she can be with me

  • she smart!! 5*****

  • long live Queen Rania

  • She gives a 9 minute lecture analyzing the arab world but fails to answer the question- yet another worthless "politician".

  • You obviously need to watch the video again. She clearly states that we need to examine our differences at a finer level; to realize that there are "secular Shiites, religious, political groups, etc".  "To have a more sophisticated and nuanced approach to understanding each other." ...Among other points. *shakes head* Yet another YouTube viewer that doesn't critically think...

  • Hahah he was obviously distracted by her beauty to understand what she was saying.

  • Bobverheijen;you are right!What if God and Allah are the same or after death there is no paradise.Relegion is something between you and God/Allah.The working class has nothing to win with war over it. The weapon industrie and oil miljonairs from west and east side of our planet are getting richer and our children loose their young lifeS for the money of those rich.A mother cries for her son..is her pain harder when she is Muslim, Jew or Christian ? all mothers have the same pain..so why fight

  • go queen!! ur very clever but i hope you apply what you say..

  • But I am wondering what's queen has to do with politics?

    Sweet heart you have invested your people's money on your life style and your people lives in poverty, if you really talking about democracy then hey let get your self start and stop corrupting people's wealth and take it from there ,foolish

  • I see Jews do similar things to Palestinians, as Nazis did to Jews. I see Muslims do similar things to Jews, and the rest of the world. I see Nato trying not to do the same thing, but doing it anyway. The ones who suffer most are our children and yours to come. Suppose (!) God and Allah don't exist than Jesus and Mohammed were wrong and millions of people died in vain and we keep on fighting a ridiculous war. Perhaps there is a third way. Any initiative to break the spell is welcome.

  • Would they care negotiate..

  • Excuse me..? You're insane.  Exactly when did Jews ever round up women and children and march them into gas chambers or work them to death? You have no idea what you're talking about

  • Queen of Raina.. Jordan.

  • rania your are the last one talk about arabic culture or democracy or human right or equality or freedom your are living from the blood of your poor pepole you get bilion of dollars to spend it on your life style from the poor tax payers so you can live in your lexturay and palces,u never was in the streets of your poor cointry streets where many of your country kids living from garbage,no equality and human rightsis zer, for you and your manjordanien is just milking cow and cheaps

  • Yes, she might be in her palace and blablabla, BUT she realises her country needs help, and she tries to help it, shes not just sitting in her fucking chair and watching kids and ppl die on the streets, no, shes trying to help those ppl, im sure she have donated a lot, and since shes a queen she can help them in other ways, better than a normal person.

    Ppl look up to famous ppl, they want to be like them, so if she try the rest will.

    Dont be so unfair to her, shes doing all in her power to help

  • we as a human race must stop fighting each other

    if mankind is to have a future in the midddle east.

    the oil wells will one day go dry and the vast welth will be spent and the good people

    of the midle east will have nothing to show for it we as a people must stablize the middle east if the people are to have a future

    with no would leader and with only kings that control the middle east ther could only be war

    in the end and only the people will pay for it

    its time to get together as one force

  • Talking about islam is talking again about religion. Asking attention for something lots of people do not believe in. Stop the attention and live your religion in peace. Let other people live their lives whatever they believe in ..or not believe in.

  • manolinm, no racism that suggest America is not big enough for all of us (even when presented under the guise of opinion) should be left to further warp minds already weakened by lies and mis/disinformation."send them back" if you are not a Native American your family came from somewhere to be sent back to too!!? It is wrong for any true believer to bring their God with bombs; a believer knows the call to Faith comes from within each of us and that the earth belongs not to man but to humanity

  • Saying western people don't believe in religions anymore is as dumb as saying that all muslims are terrorists.

    And about mass-deception... howmany people in the middle-east do you think actually saw the movie Fitna and completely understood all the images and text that were used to create it? Only a few, since it's in either Dutch or English. All those muslims are angry because someone told them to be, not because they actually saw it.

  • Througout history there is conflict between the west and arabworld..Once started by the churches (crusades),now by politics and fundamentalists. I think that on both sides ''we-the people'' are dragged into something without even knowing why. We just learn to despise eachother.And the only winners are those in power. From early roman catholic to the bushadministration now it is and always was about power and greed. Our minds are enslaved.On both sides we are being fed lies by our leaders

  • Salamat,

    This post wreaks of hypocrisy. Princess Rania, her husband, his entire family and the millions of thugs who run the security apparatus in Jordan, are unelected, unchosen, hated tyrants. Although princess Rania enjoys the life of a western educated, well furbished woman, the people of her country are oppressed lack very few, if any, freedoms. One cannot even write a column criticizing her husband without going to jail. Thus,

  • All religions has love as a fundament. So why not using that power?

  • That's a great question.

    There is a growing number of people who are focusing more and more on Love, so there is hope for us, since Love is the only thing which will help us become sustainable as a world society again.

    If Christians do what Christ commanded them to do, it would change our world overnight, but most don't know the history of the church, of the bible and don't focus on doing what Christ commanded them to do.

    This is changing for those "who have ears to hear".

  • to aymen892: Israel was created by terrorism

  • Good initiative, but I think that in the west apart from a dialogue, we need sto see some action proving the good side of muslims. Our inner cities are taken over by criminal moroccans, who threathen us to take over the country, who rob, steal and rape. Women can't safely walk the streets anymore. That is the side of islam that we see. Christians might be weird too, but I do not see Billy Graham steer a jetliner into the WTC

  • I despite muslims and the muslims ruining the western nations from within. Higher crime uneployement and general disrespect to the west are the cause of this.

    My country was very good towards all foreign people and due to muslim immigration this has changed.

    The growing gap is fully the responsibiltiy of the muslims.

  • A gap is created by two parties, never by only one.

    We, the dutch habitans, have tolerated the muslim people throughout the years, but generally speaking NEVER accepted them.

    I don't say that every dutch man is to blame, neither is every muslim to blame for todays issues.

    We need action from BOTH sides to overcome the gap. This needs input of al people. and starts right now. With you. With me.

  • An old saying: When In Rome , do as the Romans do.

    Then you will be accepted.

    Dont't force your religious values on a largely secularized country.

    We got practically rid of religion and now we're thrown back into discussions how to deal with sensitivities of Muslims who do not or cannot respect our secularized society, while complaining that they are not respected.

    Well sorry, I will never respect/tolerate/accept this. Keep your religion to yourself, or leave.

    Why both sides? Ridiculous.

  • And as a response on my last reply i would lite to add the following...

    The western (christian) world has a past on wich it should not be proud. I think i understand why moslims react the way they react.

  • What a nonsense remark.

    I can just as well say that the Muslim world has a past, present and future on which it can not be proud.

    Do I need to feel guilty about a crusade about 900 years ago? Get outta here with your cultural selfhate.

    The Western World has every right to be proud of its achievements too. If not, then why do all these people come over here. We didnt invent slavery, nor were we the last to trade slaves.(already anticipating before you come up with that silly story)

  • Well, i am from the "western world" and i'm not really ashamed. I mean we achieved a lot and did a lot of wrongs. But in the end it's about learning from one's mistakes, isn't it? (By the way, why should i be ashamed for something somebody did ages ago??)

  • I hate Wilders but have to add one point to the conversation...

    When (extreme-) moslims are insulted they resort to violence, when christians feel insulted (extremists -We call Wilders an extremist-) resort to posting a video trying to explain their behavour to the rest.

    We have come to a point, where reactions to eachother start excalating.

    I would rather see we live together.

    Yes,

    I'm an unbeliever... Some of my friends are christian, some other friends believe in the koran.

  • Quite amusing to me, he is wearinf Dior Cahnnel and some of the most expensive clothes in the world while Jardan still lives in the stone age,im not even goin to enter into that she is also palestine, people like her and most of the arabs monarchies makes me sick, they dont do absolutly nothing for his own country, just big words like this vid and wearing 6000€ clothers and living in 5 star hotels.

    GG all of them

  • she is so besutiful! long live monarchy!

  • Queen Rania is seriously deluded. She does not realise that Islam itself is the root case of all this destructive violence; the jihadists see Israel as a front against the global Jihad, not as a specific grievance, in accordance with the anti-semitic sentiments of the Qur'an (e.g. 5:82) along with calls to Jihad expressed in 9:29, 9:5, 9:73, 4:97-101 etc, all of which abrogate the earlier tolerant verses by the principle of abrogation outlined in 2:106.

  • I agree with aymen892, The religion of islam it the problem..this religion is a military, political, and supposed religious movement. mohammed conquest was strictly military, he used a of convoluted visions, most likely from the devil to justify his actions...read the quran, it is full of contradictins.

    islam is out to conquer the world by force.

    this religion uses hatred, suicide to attempt to take control. the quran hates Christian, and Jews... muslims should be deported to their lands.

  • what a brilliant woman.

  • i am from iraq i respect alhashemeen so much i hope if they rule us i like queen rania i respect her soo much great woman realy

  • Very intelligent woman and her work is so important.

  • palestinians are very good looking . look at her.dammmmmmmmm

  • أما ان لهذه العائلة اللقيطة الغريبة الخوجاية التي تحكم في الاردن أن تحل عن ظهور العائلات والقبائل الاردنية التي عرفت واشتهرت عبر التاريخ بالشهامة والرجولة والفروسية ولم يوسخ سمعتها الا الملك عبدالله وأولاده وأحفاده من الغرباء .

  • إنت مش اردني يلي بتحكي عن العائلة المالكة خلص بكفي كل واحد بييجي عبالة بيتفلسف بإسم الأردنيين ! إذا مش عاجبك فرد معين بالعائلة ممكن تنتقدة بس ما تحكي عن العائلة كلها إذا انا فلسطيني و بحب العائلة المالكة

  • Re: Queen Raina...she has got to be the most beautiful woman on the planet.

  • 9/11 was a Mossad false-flag operation. Start there if you want to find a solution.
