ARAB AMERICAN COMEDIAN MAYSOON ZAYID SPEAKS ON ALABAMA GOV. ANTI-RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REMARKS

" Maysoon Zayid is an actress, comedian and activist. She was born in New Jersey in 1974. She described herself in a BBC interview as "a Palestinian Muslim virgin with cerebral palsy, from New Jersey, who is an actress, comedian and activist". Zayid has been a resident of Cliffside Park, New Jersey. She is considered one of America's first Muslim women comedians and the first person ever to perform standup in Palestine and Jordan . " Zayid comments on Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley's remark that , " Non-Christians are not my brothers and sisters " .Doesn't this guy understand the separation between church and state ? I understand people are allowed their own religious views but isn't there a fine line when you are a sitting governor of a state ? Well this is the heart of bible country or as I like to call it pre-Jim Crow law country where they probably still burn suspected witches at the stake . Well one thing is for sure . They don't believe in chastity belts in that back ward region of the country any more, with all the under aged pregnancies happening haha . What...? I have a sense of humor too haha .

A true Muslim would value whatever it is you believe, and let you carry on with your life.

And as far as Islam treating women as second class citizens, you are mistaking religion for the tradition practiced by certain extremist groups/governments.

@ramibo FYI creepy is code for disabilities freak me out....

[tjyassinful]

Gotta love your haters Maysoon because we love you. : )

@hanksnow82 Have you ever seen her act before, She most definitely is not. Defining her act as a "sympathy act" just proves how oblivious you are to how comedy works. Well thank god there aren't more people like you hank because it's people like you who give Americans a horrible name. I truly hope to never meet you and frankly i pity you. Grow up.

@ramibo She is kind of creepy to tell the truth .

[hanksnow82]

@ramibo She is a sympathy act nothing more and nothing less

[ramibo]

@hanksnow82 Trust me she is a better comedian and actress than you will ever be. Having worked with her before I can say she has to be one of the nicest, most down to earth people I have ever met.

@pamansprewell33 America is meant to be a melting pot, so you are correct in saying that it was founded with Christian tendencies but the actually society is meant to be a melting pot where all religions are respected and allowed and that you aren't defined by what you believe in. you're a class act.

@shafia87 Good lord who are you? where did this come from. I do not recall every having made any comment?

hiowever in response I must admit that I find it odd that some so called muslim lady would use such fowl language

@penchair476

Islam is the only religion that gives women rights unlike other Religion. Get your facts straight! I'm a Muslim woman and so FREE if I get any more freedom I'm sure I will die from freedom overdose... I can't believe how ignorant people can be sometimes, I bet you don't know shit about Muslims and your talking out of your a**!

@3aShb You're retarded. Did your mother drop you as an infant? First off, I made it clear I'm not American. Second of all, the KKK is a religious-based group, which I also spoke against. All in all, you've proven to be semi-functionally retarded, as you also misspelled 'faggot'. Point made? Point made.
