Purchase: http://www.der.org/films/unveiled.html (un)veiled introduces the audience to ten Muslim women from various backgrounds who now live in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. In a time when Islam and especially Muslim women are represented as monolithic and beset by backwardness, the women in (un)veiled show the diverse, lively, argumentative debates in Muslim societies about the meanings of modernity, emancipation, and feminism.

  • alright now i get it, dubai has sold its self and its religion to tourism.....?

  • There is supposed to be no compulsion in Islam. The hijab is there and it should be the choice of each female to wear one or not. Males are supposed to do parda too, but they mostly don't, they only tell females to do parda and forget that males are supposed to cover themselves too and hijab isn't enough, behaviour is important too.

    I hope that Moroccan female will be allright.

see all

  • I just think the Iraqi lady is so disrespectful, she said "ninja style" and "this black thing in the middle". non hijabies think they're more educated and open minded than hijabies but this video shows the difference in sophistication level between the two... MaShAllah, at least I didn't see a hijabie calling the non hijabies with names and disrespect...

  • @truefaith2 That's not what this documentary was about at all. It choose Dubai to outline how hijab and non-hijab can coincide. It doesn't have to be one or the other.

  • @jigglyfidda125  i wonder from where you got these amazing statistics LOL

  • Dubai is a fake plastic city, The whole country is built by and run by Iranian, Pakistani and Afghans and with lots of phillipino and indian slaves.  The locals are only 10 %.

  • Yes Duabi is a breath of fresh air compaired to the rest of the middle east.

  • dubai the best really

  • "ninja style" LOL

  • Last week a 24-yr old Moroccan woman was attacked in Antwerp by a group of Moroccan men. They began reproaching her for not wearing a hijab. When she answered back, they beat her up. When the police intervened to protect the woman they were attacked by about thirty youths hurling stones. Fortunately, the officers were able to relieve the brave woman and take her to hospital. She has been discharged from hospital, though one dreads to think what awaits her when she returns to her own community .

  • all girls wear hijab, then men will become gay

    look at arabia now, 50% of guys are homosexual or bi. all because theres no women
