Muslims' America - Women in Islam 3.3

Before leaving Florida, VOA spends one last day with the sisters of Piedad, an organization for Muslim-American Women. Between preparing for a wedding and visiting with a group of Burmese students, Imran Siddiqui learns just what being American means to this diverse group of women. "As an American Muslim woman, what does America mean to you?" asks VOA's Imran Siddiqui to the women of Piedad, an Islamic women's organization in Tampa, Florida. The answers, he finds out, are just as diverse as the women of Piedad's mosque. "We have Arabs in our group, in Piedad. We have Arab sisters. We have Palestinian sisters. We have Indian sisters. Even though it is geared towards us for support, we also know that we can benefit from the knowledge of the other sisters. We all try to be a little community within the community, but not apart from the community," says Jill Mraida. As Muslims' America finds out, this community prides itself on its in-depth understanding of Islam, along with the freedom they have to worship and explore their faith in the United States.

Brothers and sisters please do not stay on youtube arguing with non-muslims. I can assure you that they know deep down that all they watched in this film is true, but they get agnry because it goes against their way of life, lets pray to Allah to remove hatred from their hearts, guide them to the truth and soften their hearts towards islam. only a disturbed person will watch such heart warming film and yet still call it evil. spread the love and keep smiling brothers and sisters. Islam forever!

@Believerjj And how about respecting the non-muslim?You know, they are people too, even if you consider them sinful.And I can assure you there is no need to convince them to besome muslims too.There are enough of you already.

Islam destroys. Mostly female lives. Why don't you all go inhabit the moon and create a real muslim state?

[gideonMorrison]

@2qewl4u Angry? You wish.

[2qewl4u]

@gideonMorrison Why are you so angry? lmfao.

[gideonMorrison]

@2qewl4u You misread twice, willingly. And that is exactly what religious fools like yourself resort to, play the victim card and bring zero arguments. Good bye indeed. You're not worth my time.

[2qewl4u]

@gideonMorrison Haha that's what all you atheists do; you can't support your point so you resort to name calling. Goodbye.

[gideonMorrison]

@2qewl4u You fool, can't you read? You are the prime example of a religious hard head, who doesn't simply want to understand things, for the heck of it.

I quote: " God is nothing but a delusion, at least in the way people pretend to 'know' him on planet Earth". Read after the comma. What does it say? Exactly, there is no God, defined by 'us' people. There could be one, but it could be vastly different from your definition, let alone the back story. Now bring me a beer and stop being annoying.

[2qewl4u]

@gideonmorrison I read every word unlike you who "stopped reading after burn". You claimed there was no god; thus claiming to know the truth. I have to say, atheists are usually smarter than this.
