This is the start of my Muslim series in the USA (7 videos in total). I tried my best to cover it from as many angles as possible in the Detroit/Dearborn area. One thread coursing through all of these videos is that Islam has a full range from left to right just like Christianity, Judaism, or any other religion. Sacha Baron Coen and the most conservative Hassidic Jewish person are both Jews. Keep this in mind when you think of Muslims. I've talked to women in niqabs in Saudi Arabia when it was acceptable, but to do this on camera is next to impossible. Annettee agreed for me to film her so we need to thank her for this, she provided a window into a world that most of us will never get exposed to. She is a Mexican American convert, and to my surprise, there are quite a few Mexican/American converts to Islam. Remember this is one perspective and does not represent all Muslims. Coming soon will be a video about a Muslim woman who is very liberal and dresses in western style with no headscarf. But just like Annette she prays 5 times a day and is devoted to Islam. So my goal in this series (like most of my work) is to show you that an easy label does not apply. Two people can be Muslim but approach life in completely different ways. Thanks for watching and I'll see you next Sunday!
You should also clarify that she is a Shia Muslim. Hopefully your other videos will explain the difference between Shia and Sunni Islam. Great video as always.
You should try interviewing other ethnic groups. Muslims doesn't equate to Arab! There's a huge community of Somali/Indian/East Asian/Bosnian community of Muslims in America too!
@@mememinaa7052 I did but as the Egyptians say... meshi (relax). It's impossible to fit all nationalities in one video when I'm doing a story one on one. I will have other ethnicities in my videos and I'll have a video mostly about Bengalis coming in a few weeks.
Has nothing to do with unity nor common sense. If putting on a black blanket to help her to find her self its her business. Does not make sense for me. As long as she doesn't join the social justice warriors in America, I don't care what ppl wear, eat or whom they sleep with.
Listen to "Christian Prince" in TH-cam. Hes an arab and shows you all the evidence from your own islamic sources that islam is false. Lord Jesus is GOD.
I’m Jewish. May Allah bless you for staying true to your beliefs and your true modesty both inside and out. Peace and love always and you’re welcomed to our home on the sabbath anytime.
@R. H. AMEN! Insha’Allah for you as well, all the blessings and health for you and your loved ones. I have many friends from the Emirates and love them all. Doesn’t matter where you’re from, there’s only One above us, making Him happy through peace and love will bring final unity to the world. I Pray the world sees beyond all the corruption and fake lies. Jews and Muslims are the closest in many ways in memory of Ibrahim our forefather, may his name be blessed. He spread kindness among all the people, let’s continue in his name Insha’Allah. Only blessings, unity and family. Spreading love to everyone wherever you are.
Michael I hope 🤞 1 day you come to the religion of Adam,Noah, Abraham,Ishmael Isaac,Jacob and the tribe,Moses,David, Solomon, John the Baptist, Jesus. Which of course is islam ☪️ Salam brother 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I completely get why this woman feels more freedom. As women, it is exhausting to present yourself to the world on a daily basis. Not only do I feel this woman is bada$$ but she is a symbol of strength. Her energy is so independent. It is a shame the perception is that she is oppressed. I wish I had her courage.
You think she is liberal? Maybe some or even majority of women covering themselves enjoy it, but it doesn't mean that they support freedom of others to uncover own bodies. Some Muslims agree it is an obligation for women to cover their faces, some think it is only about covering their hair. Do you know that many interpret the Islamic law that it should be enforced on Muslim women to cover themselves. Some claim all women, no matter what religion they adhere to, need to cover, because otherwise they spread corruption. Is it shocking that many see it as immoral to uncover, shameful, and therefore enforce covering on daughters, wives if necessary?
@@NurseMagsy You have some basic knowlegde on Islam at least? Do know its history and its current state? And what Quran says? You are an expert on what Khimar means? You have studiied how Muslims understood it in medieval ages? You have read arabic dictionaries from middle ages? Besides Quran says Muslims should forbid wrongful things and acts. It says they ahould keep away from anything that leads to adulterry. Quran says men should even use force if they fear they wives may commit some wrongful acts.
@@hyawill8944 you are taking things out of context. Please read the chapter in Quran on women. Also, Mohammad’s (pbuh) words on how women should be placed highest. Also, stating that the measure of a man is how he treats his wife. As I stated earlier, man is flawed and thus anyone is able to interpret things incorrectly. As you have shown in your interpretation. I hope you have found something fulfilling in life better than starting youtube fights. ☺️
@@NurseMagsy My interpretation? Wow. You have 1400 years of Muslim theology, Muslim scholarship on law based on Islamic teachings. Do you know what madhabs are? Have you ever heard about Hanafi, Maliki, Shaafi, Hanbali schools of Islamic judisprudence in Sunni Islam? Do you even know what Salifis say about it? Out of context you say...:) Great. As usual.
Looking at the comments here, this is a much-needed series. I've never seen so much judgment. This woman is too religious. She's not religious enough. On and on. I don't remember comments like this on either your Hasidic or your Amish series. Muslims in this country face a lot of discrimination. I look forward to learning more about this community. Thank you so much for doing this.
@Roger Crankshaw You’re correct one the fact that people have the right to judge and discriminate, however it doesn’t mean that it’s right. And second, you have to check the lens in which you’re viewing things. Islam does not incite terrorist attacks. There are a group of extremists who incorrectly justify their personal and political views by twisting the religion of Islam to fit their needs. How about the fact that many who died in 9/11 were Muslim. How about the fact that most Muslims ( those who don’t belong to these extremist groups) publicly oppose terrorism and all extremists groups. That isn’t fair to take a select group of people and allow them to speak for over a billion people. According to Islam, what they are doing is immoral and are grave sins. There are always people who will twist, misconstrue and go against the actual rules of religion or laws and make it seem as if it is lawful. ( think of the coup that happened this past January with the U.S. government). Think of slavery, the KKK, or the crusades. What about the Christians who bomb planned parenthood’s, they do not speak for the majority of Christians. It is very narrow minded to think that such a small group represents the whole people. Would you consider every Italian to be in the Mafia? I know these are many examples and you may not think that they fit but it’s all the same thing. Don’t judge a whole group because of a few. Do you actually know any Muslims? I’m guessing not. True Islam is about peace. These frauds who use Islam to perpetuate hate and violence are not true Muslims. I feel sorry that you feel the way that you do. Do some research, get yourself out there ( unless you’re content in your frame of thinking then that’s your choice). May God bless you.
@Roger Crankshaw Along the same logic of doing Math, I have found some other followers have killed humongous amount of people throughout the history to today though under the guise of noble causes. If I were to look at the world your way, then this whole world would be on fire with 1+ Billion Muslims flourishing in this world. May you open your eyes so peace may prevail in this world!
What an interesting perspective, there's so much judgement in society I can see why this lady feels freedom. Yet again I have learnt so much by watching these videos. Personally for me as a partially deaf person who wears a hearing aid, I feel I would struggle to communicate, as I rely on lip reading for the most part. I once sat on a plane with a lady who wore a niqab, you could feel the tension on that flight, I decided to introduce myself to the lady who was very well educated and graciously offered some of her food to me, which I took and it was delicious! That was one of the most relaxing flights I have ever taken and thankfully she sat on my good side so I could hear her perfectly!
So a person who suffers from agoraphobia has freedom because she does not want to interact with society and wants to stay all day inside her house ordering food online? nonsense! this is a brainwashed and as result kind of like Stockholm syndrome..
Stg I feel like many Muslims always keep food at hand because they know that opens up the hearts of people who don’t know & fear them 😂 I’ve also seen an interview with a niqab wearing woman in my country who said she and most women she knows are happy to uncover their mouth if someone really depends on lip-reading
Assuming Niqab is the correct way, did you ask yourself why is it not applicable to.men also? They shouldnt also be judged based on their looks. Further, men can marry up to 4 wives but not women. Ask yourself.
@@mizzmix6928 I don't agree with broad opinions about cultures. So far I don't see anything oppressive. If you want to wear extra cloth on your body have at it.. not my business.
Jewish are two types, first descendants of ibrahim, second are Zionists Israeli.we love first Jewish who speak truth and spread love and support Philistines.
Please come to the religion of Adam,Noah, Abraham, Isaac,Ishmael, Jacob and the tribe, Moses,Jesus,David, Solomon,John the Baptist. Which of course is islam ☪️ Salam 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Peter you deserve all the success in the world for making the world a better place. Your outstanding work makes posible for people like me that knows nothing about many different cultures be able to get inside cultures and peoples points of view. Thank you for working in making a more united and loving world.
@@blueskyy43 I see your point, she probably wanted to do it alone and thought that walking around the masjid would be appropriate and judging by her job she seems like a talkative and outgoing person, she did put up the boundaries pretty well
@@DoomshopMF312 she said she is Hispanic and was raised catholic so she has experienced freedom clearly especially when she chose to switch religions. How else would you define freedom?
She is magnificent!! You can clearly see she speaks with truth & her hands. Such grace in her step. This is what self peace is all about. And this interview is proof we can all live in peace and be loving with no judgment to all mankind.
Saudi Women are SHAMELESS yeah read that again, if the king allowed that it's woman choice to wear Hijab or not, that doesn't mean you can show your face(cause it's prohibited in Islam) if they are a true muslim that to living in Saudi they better know that Hijab plays a vital role in Islam so If they are a true Muslim they wouldn't show their face, SHAME on them
Bro these woman dress like mother marry, and the so called fake Christians are questioning, You people in America wake up A white man has A beard and it's called fashion But when A Muslim man has a beard and dress like moses, Jesus, Mohammad, he's called terrorist😂 The Christians this day and age have nothing of Jesus ,morals and principles, And believing in the one god, Allah in arabic language Every Muslim in the world love Jesus But the jews don't , but yet the so called Christians want to support Israel,,
HAHAHAHAHA yeah buddy I bet she just a very religious women LOL yeah keep dreaming, she is covered because her husband is arab and the blonde dog does everything for her master
Great questioning, Peter! Every time I found myself mentally responding with clarifying questions to her responses, you asked identical clarifying follow-ups bouncing through my brain at different points in this video. This engagement is fascinating and highly complex, giving me much to consider, especially regarding my bias toward Islamic culture. Well done!
I'm so glad my father raised me to accept others as themselves and not be closed minded or judgemental, a persons heart n soul should be the only thing that defines them, growing up in Minneapolis, there were people from all over the world, very deversified place

As fellow Mexican, so much of our worth is put into not only our appearance (curvy, long hair, fair skin), but also our sexual appeal to the point that outside culture know us for our sexiness and “passion”. So I completely understand where she is coming from and power to her for letting go!
@@nunya54 How is something being beautiful a bad thing because people take advantage of it? Evil people are evil. Beautiful and nice people need to be protected rather than turning ugly to avoid being victimized because guess what? Ugly people get victimized too. Would you rather be an ugly victim? Keep your culture and the things that you like about it. Find people who are down with that and down with you.
@@badxradxandy as a woman, i can say that being sexualized in any way, feels shitty most of the time. please don’t speak for women and say that’s a “good thing”. you DONT know how it feels.
The fact that Peter actual listens and is non judgmental makes all his videos very interesting. My fav ones were him in the Amish community and Jewish community. There’s soo many similarities than differences. One world one love! Peace for all!
cool video , I'm not religious , but good for her , I think she has every right to dress how she wants , I gave the video a like . So the thing about the 4 wives , usually its only for people who got like millions of dollars in the bank account , most guys don't get 4 wives , its more people who who own like multiple houses worldwide and have huge amounts of cash in the bank and who can't stay with one wife because they are traveling and away from family for work , I don't really have a opinion on it , I guess most guys like the idea and since I'm a guy I'm ok with it but most girls don't like the idea which is fine , its depends on how rich the guy is . So getting 4 wives is different from adultery because adultery could get you sent to jail in most Muslim countries , it could also get you beat up by family or by the police depending how how many partners you had , if you had multiple partners like a hundred girlfriends or something , the police might show up and beat you up or something , sometimes people get sent to jail , if your HIV/AIDS positive you might get executed

Religion has been the excuse for some of the most horrendous acts in history. I believe there is a higher consciousness that is not limited to any specific religion. People need to believe there is something more than this finite life, particularly when they are part of the 99% who work hard for their money.

She seems lovely and it's nice to hear her feelings and experience. But I will also say that generally in the west, your facial features are a huge part of how people communicate. For me, the 'fear' is more a lack of trust for anyone that isn't communicating with me in an open and upfront way. If men walked around with a balaclava, I would be so uncomfortable.
For almost 2 years we were wearing balaclava the face musk and still some do as, instituted by the government as a protection from covid 19, so this idea is old and unsubstantiated and completely deconstructed that covering the face restraints and restricted us, only because few of us wears this face covering as religious simple, it's strange but when everyone was expected to wear it, then it became normalised, so this excuse to force those who look different then the majority to adapt the custom of ever changing society, is to stigmatise and be polemical against them because they offend our modern sensibilities which is forever going through metamorphosis, look how people dressed in earlier part of the 19 century. It's natural defences to be apprehensive about people with different religion and customs then you, we even tell our children “stranger danger” for good reasons. Knowledge is the key to melt away prejudices.
@khaderlander2429 a MANDATORY medical face mask, is entirely different from someone choosing to cover every aspect of their face. And to be clear, it was odd and uncomfortable interacting and meeting people during covid for that exact reason that I've just explained. Nuns, the KKK, a medical mask, a full face ski mask, someone wearing a Helmut with a visor. 👏it's 👏all 👏the 👏same 👏thing 👏
Yes. And it also makes us feel powerful because nobody can sexualize us (if it makes sense)(this world is hyper-sexualized). Ps: excuse my english I speak french 😄, but I am not from France, I am from a muslim country
I totally want to see that video of her going to Brooklyn and meeting the women of the Hasidic community - that would be awesome! And I love her spirit, being so open and wanting to interact with other religions.

Thankyou Peter for unlocking peoples minds through these social interactions with different communities we need this type of real life discussion with real people to break down stereotypes and prejudices that are within the hearts of those who choose to ignore rather than investigate

To be honest, I don’t know about this one, Peter. I’m usually a big fan of your work, but I mean how can you take someone who converted to Islam for this interview - her voice doesn’t truly represent Islam, she just seems confused to be honest.
It's one angle into a very complex and interesting world. There are a lot of converts and I find this interesting. Also, getting someone of this level of faith to do a video like this is perhaps 1 in 100,000. Many more videos to come on Muslims in the USA.
I dress exactly the same, and i feel like a princess, so elegant in my robes, all i have to do is pick what colour to wear each day. Meeting other muslim women from all over the world, English, Italian, French, Jamaican, Senegalese, Bengali, Jewish ethnic, Cypriot, Pakistani, Norwegian, Albanian, Moroccan just named my friends at the top of my list and i myself am a large mix. Being algerian brazilian cuban and jamaican🤣 i love it. I love having SISTERS from all over and yet connected by Our Creator. I love it when we walk down the street together, covered and confident. The feeling is just amazing man. *back flip*
Know that as a Muslim sister, you have a brother in every Muslim man inshallah. May Allah guide, protect, and bless you in every aspect of life on earth and the hereafter
I love the coloured robes. In Australia it seems only the Indian community wear the coloured robes. They are beautiful. Is there a rule about Muslim women wearing coloured niquabs? I find this all very interesting.
@@mellando9770 the point of our covering is to blend in so in the summer, lighter colours in the winter darker. Literally makes the most sense as having a bright colour in winter would stand out and a dark colour in summer would stand out. In algeria we wear the white niqab and its so cute!
I think the important point here is that Annette is free to choose how she practices her faith. My issue with any religion is when choice (on matters like this) is removed. Awesome video as always 👏🏻
In Islam you are not forced to wear hijab, just atleast consider it and take small steps whenever you are ready to start wearing it. It's just that some people force women to cover which is not allowed
I don’t think you understand. Hijab/Niqab was banned in Turkey and many parts throughout the Arab peninsula by foreign forces under the guise of communism. It was women who fought to bring it back. It’s women who want to wear it. You’ve been indoctrinated by Israeli propaganda
My mother was born and raised in a region of the Arabian peninsula where the Niqab/Hijab was banned. She came to the USA not accustomed to wearing a hijab. It was here that she started to wear a hijab FREELY. It’s Israel, via her proxies, who want to enforce laws like this not only on Muslims, but everyone. Throughout the land.
@AbeTheFakeSage let others practice as they will. There are so many sects of Islam/Muslim why go around trying to prove that you're the "right" one? Let others be if they're not hurting anyone. I'm christian. I could tell you and every different sect of Christianity or other religions that they are wrong. What would that do? Nothing.
I am a born Muslim and I will say that a lot of my niqabi friends that are MUSLIM BORN share the mentality as this sister, which is indeed not uncommon. I wear the hijab and I was not forced by anyone to wear it, I find it rather liberating. It is extremely frustrating that people will have a problem with my own life choice or think that I am oppressed and feel obligated to free me or advocate on my behalf. In saying this, I do not deny that there are some Muslim woman that don't want to wear it and are forced, but I assure it is not the MAJORITY!!
I don't think she understood the most fundemetals of Islam if she does Sabbath. Her talked more seems she wear niqb not for the sake of Islam and to be modest but to hide the negative judgments of the physic?
It is not what you do with your person we fear, it is that it is the first stage to your lifestyle being imposed on us e.g. East London “religious police”
@@elimibirakma3334 how is wearing a hijab or niqab imposing our lifestyle on others. We do not expect anyone to adopt our lifestyle. It clearly shows that you are just afraid of something different!
That was beautiful! I will tell you this. I am a lady truck driver and one day as I was leaving one of my customers, I saw another lady dressed as this woman here driving an 18-wheeler! I was so in shock but just amazed. I absolutely love learning things like this. Thank you so much and keep up the great job!
@@marianlynch4829 you are not allowed to have 4 wives if you cannot provide for all of them equally and spend time with them equally, nor if your wife (or wives) disagree with you having another wife
I am a niqabee too alhamduliAllah , no one pushed me to wear niqab, I love it and I can't imagine my life without it. I will be totally glad to talk about Islam and niqab anytime . I was born Muslim but I chose to be a practicing one . Feeling so blessed to be a Muslim alhamduliAllah.
Creative content. I'm Hindu- born and raised in the US of A. I grew up in Houston Texas- a truly international capital and I feel blessed to have been exposed to so many different lifestyles and peoples. It's cool that you can give people the insight like that in your videos
This is the first positive comment I read from a hindu subhanallah may Allah bless you sis ❤, may Allah guide us all sis, sis give a try to Quran read it 💕
In a culture that demands you "get your bikini body back" two weeks after giving birth, that idolizes youth, that doesn't let any woman physically just BE with gray hair, wrinkles, stretch marks and so on, there's really just no way to understate how freeing and empowering Islam is for women. Covering is one of my favorite things about becoming Muslim and in a country in which you do have the freedom whether to do so or not, when you embrace Islam, for many it is a progression more and more toward covering. It is liberating. Alhamdulillah.
I hate this type of argument. Women who wouldn't care to wear this type of garment because they're afraid of people's gaze, aren't necessarily insecure prostitutes, living through and for the sexual gratification earned by using their charms. This type of counterargument is a fallacy and insulting to non-hijab women Jo make up the vast majority of American and Earthly women.
@@alexandrariggs3768 mashaalah sister there is women who call themselves Muslims and where born in a Muslim family and will tell you that you are backwards but don’t worry even prophet Mohammed PBUH was called crazy and a magician and this is the best man that ever lived imagine us may Allah preserve you.
But that's the thing; you don't have to follow these so called societal rules. There's plenty of women that don't and aren't hijabis. Omg, they act like as if those kind of women don't exist. I'd say it's more that you're weak for thinking those rules have to be followed or you have to be muslim. That's pretty polarizing, which most muslims are. But whatever, like I said, you don't have to follow societal rules.
This just shows how much we need things like this because I honestly knew NOTHING about these or even what they were called. And I was 1000000% wrong. And I’m glad I’m learning. Thank you Peter 🙏🏻

She chooses to wear it because she has psychological trauma associated with her body image and it is a physical defense mechanism for her. I don't think the religious aspect is the main drive for her wearing it but was an open pathway for her to take. I'm not saying its right or wrong I'm just stating how it appears to me through her dialogue.
Please don’t assume. She prefaced she wears it out of her devotion to god. She wanted to get closer to god and not follow the bandwagon of our destructive society constantly sexualising women. That’s is her secondary explanations as to why she wears it. Why would someone go through and wear it despite all hardship just because of her trauma. Mashallah it looks like she is very educated and can see society truly for the way it is.
As a married Jewish woman, who follows the laws of tzanua (modesty) and covers her hair - I so identify with much of what Annettee is saying. While we do not cover like niqab, the idea of being covered, separating from the common world, and maintaining one’s inner self and integrity is so much a vital part of our (orthodox) tradition, too. And I’d love to be your friend, Annettee! It’s only through having an open mind and heart - with each of us secure in our individual attachment to our traditions, respecting one another - that we can move the world towards one of Peace and fulfillment. Thank you, Peter - what you’re doing is awesome!…and Peter…as much as the idea of bringing together some of the guys - make a video of the women together…
We have a lot of Latino Muslims where I live in Anaheim 🧕🇲🇽 Especially Rida Hamida, she Palestine Mexican American and she's Muslim...she helps the community big time,She also does One Halal Taco Truck at every mosque, she's pretty awesome!!!
As a Sunni Hajabi Muslim business woman, I would love to do a video with you and Annette as well. This would provide 2 unified but unique Islamic perspectives like the video of the Amish with the 2 denominations. Thank you for these videos.
Annette seems like a very kind and gentle soul. Thank you for showing her perspective Peter. Hopefully the people in the comments can get their act together and remember that EVERY video you do is simply one person's perspective. I think that's the beauty of your channel.
If you don't have ideas about why this women was so open and confident about her religion and her beliefs is because she was Shia Muslim women.

I hope Sunni women who are being oppressed can be free and get out of pathetic condition imposed upon them.
Really ? 😄! I am another muslim woman. i get weird looks when I completely cover outside, but I am very cool and easygoing. I love reading books (theology, philosophy and french literature especially)(oh and sherlock holmes), I like skateboarding, playing board games with my husband, cooking , etc! I looove covering up and I am an islamic student at bayyinah Institute and eman-academy ☺️. And I studied economics and international relations. We are very normal, but of course very different (our principles, values etc)

She is a bit on the fundamentalist side though. Islam doesn’t require women to cover their faces, it’s the believe of at least 80% of Muslim population. Also, polygamy is an option in rare cases and women shouldn’t be agreeing with it so easily. The conditions of polygamy are so strict that not even .01% of humans can fulfill it. For instance, in polygamy a man is required to treat all wives equally if he can’t do it he shouldn’t be going for the second wife. Tell me how many humans can treat two individuals equally?
This lady seems interesting in that she is currently a muslim in a niqab and yet she still goes to catholic church with family when possible. Also seems to have body confidence issues with her appearance. Would that still be the case if she was happy with her body/face etc? I'm getting a lot of mixed signals. I feel you need to interview more muslim covered women to get more perspectives and not just hers. Edit to add that she is also interested in wishing to practice jewish culture. Like pick something and stick with it.
I was about to right it he should look forward for Borned Muslim or Maulana not someone who is recent converted because she’s still learning the religion
I really have a feeling she is a leftist and she does it for nostalgia or political reasons. I could be wrong but it does not seem she’s doing it for the right reasons. Let me know what you think.
I believe she does not really know what she wants to be , right now she is covering like a Muslim , but goes to the Catholic church and celebrates the Shabbat and wants to know more about Jewish Women ?
You realize that all societies influence what women wear ? The west influences women to dress less modestly thinking,people they are free but societal standards and industry influences what on wears. Sure there are countries like saudi that force it despite islam saying that niqab is not mandatory. But there are plenty of countries that dont force it.
Given no coercion, i am in full support of individual sovereignty. If it’s her free will then i respect her despite being in full disagreement and disapproval. The right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.
Listen to "Christian Prince" in TH-cam. Hes an arab and shows you all the evidence from your own islamic sources that islam is false. Lord Jesus is GOD.
@@uzi9625 listen to the likes of Mohhmamed Hijab and Jason skywalker refuting CP who keeps committing huge blunders in things as basic as reading the Quran if you really are open minded and seek the truth. ManyProphetsOneMessage’s videos on Christianity also plainly show how most Christians today are so very far from the true message of Jesus peace and blessings upon him.
These series are well needed I would reccommend visiting scholars and discussing the views with them. You will find Muslims are the best of people in terms of manners and hospitality.
My husband I and some friends of ours got to know a local Muslim business owner and became friends with him. When my female friend and I mentioned to him that we’d love to have coffee with his wife who we also knew to some level, he refused and said we can’t do that. She did not have a say in the matter.
If a Muslim refused invitation then he committed sin because our prophet (pbuh) told us to always accept invitation. That Muslim was not following faith properly
The way you judge and gemralize your business partner... Maybe someone can udge otherwise as why your friend choose to keep his family away from you guys 🤠
Assalamualaikum👋 as a niqabi I just wanted to say thanks to the creator of this video for giving or helping others to see from our prospective and all so... thank you Also, I can relate to this women too. For me, its freedom having control over what I want the world to see and what I dont want them to see. Personally speaking I have felt much more comfortable in public than before covering, I also found that I'm not sexualized like I was before (people treat me more respectfully too) and I feel like it has helped me sin less in public specifically like I watch myself and what I do more, I genuinely feel safer too. I dont know how to explain it fully but it helped me heal in a way, when I first started wearing the niqab, the fact the I was SA-ed caught up to me when I couldn't run from it anymore and the niqab has helped me and helped me feel like my body is mine again and like I had control over it again. Yeah, so this was some of my reasons but mainly just cause I wanted to do this and this also kinda forces people to judge me for my personality and for my general self instead of appearance. (The niqab is not really common especially for my age and where I live so definitely out of free will too) Y'all enjoy your day and stay safe🍪
I'm a convert to Islam, and I choose to wear niqab as well. I feel liberated! People can judge me based on my character, not on my outward appearance. If you ever want to to a Skype interview, let me know. I'd be more than happy to answer your questions.
@Niro Pattar it says fear Allah if you do bad if you hurt or harm others because he's the one who holds power to punish the superiors in the mankind and he surly is capable of doing justice to all
@Niro Pattar "Say, ‘If you love God, follow me, and God will love you and forgive you your sins; God is most forgiving, most merciful.’" --Quran 3:31 "Like Satan, who says to man, ‘Do not believe!’ but when man disbelieves, says, ‘I disown you; I fear God, the Lord of the Worlds,’" Quran 59:16 So there is love and fear.
I remember watching a series on tv that was filmed in Deerborn and I learned a lot. I felt so dumb that I was born and raised in the US yet so ignorant to Muslims, to Derrborn in general. What I thought was really cool is the high school football coach who is not Muslim honors Ramadan and switches all practices to night.
Did you know .. The most powerful words mentioned in the Qur’an This world - 115 hereafter - 115 Angels - 88 Demons - 88 Muhammad - 4 Sharia - 4 People - 50 Prophets - 50 Goodness - 50 Corruption - 50 Iblees (satan)- 11 Seeking refuge from him - 11 man - 24 women - 24 Life - 145 Death - 145 Good deeds - 167 Bad deeds - 167 Loudness - 16 Silence - 16 Misfortune - 75 Thanksgiving - 75 Al-Huda - 79 Mercy - 79 Notice the word and its opposite - These statistics indicate that this Qur’an is from God and that humans cannot come up with something like this - There are some words that double their number of divine wisdom Punishment - 117 Forgiveness - 234 means weakness, why? Because God's mercy and forgiveness cover everything Al-Asr - 12 Al-Yusr - 36 I mean 3 times, why? Because Yusreen's hardship will not be defeated Among the important notes in the statistics: The word (prayer) 5 times And pray 5 times a day The word (day) is mentioned 365 times In a year 365 days Among the divine miracles in the Qur’an: The word (land) is organized 13 times and (sea) 32 times We tried to find a percentage of recurrence in both cases, the frequency of repetition of the word (sea) equal to 71% in the percentage (land) 29% /. they swam. God ALLAH is great.
@celebrul_anonim_ get over yourself 🙄 Islam is a religion ( second largest religion ), And there’s nothing you can do about it, And this is coming from a Muslim American women
Not only does Peter have one of the most interesting and engaging channels on TH-cam…but this man is actually doing the Lord’s work…He continues to try and build bridges between communities…He brings people of all backgrounds together for respectful discussion…He attempts to understand and appreciate the various cultures that are featured for each of their own unique and differing identities and ideologues…He encourages people of all backgrounds to better understand each other, showing us how to love thy neighbour…He teaches us all to reach out to those who your very own biases would not previously allow you to…but most importantly, Peter is showing me and all of us what being a better human looks like…Peter, I know you probably won’t read this…but I salute you good sir and send you my utmost respect and love…you continue to be a shining light in a dark world…take good care.
cool video , I'm not religious , but good for her , I think she has every right to dress how she wants , I gave the video a like . So the thing about the 4 wives , usually its only for people who got like millions of dollars in the bank account , most guys don't get 4 wives , its more people who who own like multiple houses worldwide and have huge amounts of cash in the bank and who can't stay with one wife because they are traveling and away from family for work , I don't really have a opinion on it , I guess most guys like the idea and since I'm a guy I'm ok with it but most girls don't like the idea which is fine , its depends on how rich the guy is . So getting 4 wives is different from adulty because adulty could get you sent to jail in most Muslim countries , it could also get you beat up by family or by the police depending how how many partners you had , if you had multiple partners like a hundred girlfriends or something , the police might show up and beat you up or something , sometimes people get sent to jail , if your HIV/AIDS positive you might get executed
it depends on where you are born , if your a Muslim in Africa than you probably celebrate African folklore and traditions , if your a Muslim in America or Europe than you probably celebrate Christmas and if your a Muslim in the Asia pacific region you probably celebrate Buddhism , it depends where you are born , a lot of Muslim nations celebrate pre-Islamic traditions , like Iran
We (reverts) to islam are welcomed & our past doesn’t matter anymore.. it’s sort of like when Christians are reborn… so in a sense it’s similar… our sins are forgiven.. we have a clean slate🌸
I'm a muslim girl living in Istanbul, Turkey and I went to many churches in Istanbul, and seen that many Muslims actually go to churches just to explore and take their views about other beliefs. One of my friends went to a church in Antalya, Turkey and she said that she has talked with a Finnish priest and asked about many things and his experiences as a Christian priest in Turkey. She said that he was treated very welcoming because people are respectful and they approach very nicely. Religious differences is not a huge deal.
@@MA-jz9xt cursing the sahabas and the wife of the prophet (pbuh) is known in the shia faith. Is that your way of showing love to the prophets family???
Instead of just listening to the women, and taking her story for what it was, it seems the comments have already descended into mockery, name calling, and people trying to negate her story and her experience. Peter is not an idiot. He knows she is a convert. He knows about Shia and Sunni. He knows about different nationalities of Muslims. This is one video in a series. Like he said in the comments it would be very very difficult for him to video tape an interview or a spend a day traveling with and talking to a fully covered Muslim women somewhere in like Saudi Arabia.
Really? I feel I am about the only person dissenting....and I think she is great. I do not think she can represent woman in the countries where woman have actual less legal standing, though. I am seeing much religious love here.
When she speaks about her decision to cover/wear a niqab, she doesn't mention anything about religious beliefs or teachings from the Quran etc. Usually the reason that religions cover their heads etc, is because of their faith/Biblical teaching.
Agreed. It’s sad really. She only feels confident if anything that makes her an individual visually is removed and she is a blank slate. This is a tool she’s using to deal with self-confidence and worth issues. The question I have is who is judging? Who is making her feel this way? I think we all know the answer…..
It’s because they are forced to isolate. They can be applied to any of the minority. The ridicule for being different is not easy to take. Ridiculed by other “religious “ people. Ridiculed by the misinformed. Ridiculed by the majority.
Your videos are so informative and interesting. Keep up the good work. Would be awesome if you would do a series on the people of Appalachia. Particularly the folks that are in the deep mountains of Eastern Tennessee, Western North Carolina, and Southwestern Virginia.
@celebrul_anonim_ - I’m sad to read this negativity. I’m a Christian who doesn’t have all the answers, but I know in my heart that God loves us ALL. Not just Christians, not just Muslims, not just Jewish, etc. He created different paths to reach Him. We need to be constrained in these various faiths because we cannot function as decent human beings without structure and rules. God knows this about us. He sees our hearts always. 1. He asks of us to love Him with all of our hearts. 2. To love our neighbors and care for them as we would like to be cared for. These are the two most important commands. From these two things everything else falls into place. God never mentioned “to love Christian or Jewish or Muslim, etc., neighbors.” No, He simply stated “love one another”.
What a great interviewer Peter is a natural and is much appreciated Love how he just goes for it and seems like he was born to show us the world and peoples and places stories through his genuineness and rationale, logical presentation ⚖️
If you don't have ideas about why this women was so open and confident about her religion is because she was Shia Muslim women. She is a Brave women while other Non Muslim such such as Sunni women are suppressed who are forced into Misyar and Halala which is Sunni legal Prostitution used by their families and their fathers. I hope Sunni women who are being oppressed can be free and get out of pathetic condition imposed upon them.

@@bigDaddy-lx9sn brother let’s not drive apart Sunni and Shia, We are one we have so much hatred from within both Shi’i and Sunni from demons wearing scholarly clothing
What a lovely conversation, niqab gives you privacy, seclusion, a sense of removal but drawing into yourself to feel closer to your Lord. Thank you for this video.
I respect that... but I feel that is a little excessive 24/7/365. I mean part of being alive is engagement with the world at large and I feel that niqab inhibits that to a certain degree. At the end, some folks will live in ways that don't fully align with us but we can live and let live provided no one is forced or hurt.
Peter, this was interesting. I appreciate you going into so many different subcultures in America. And there are probably some other cultures within those cultures!
I’m one of the Orthodox Jewish subscribers you picked up after the Jewish series. And as always another great video. Very interesting to hear her point of view and her devotion to Gd is inspiring. Peter I would love to also learn about gypsies or travelers if you have the chance to make a video on them. Keep up the amazing work. Uniting the world one video at a time.
Interesting interview, Peter. However, I believe that because she is a convert, her perspective is somewhat slanted and not the norm. Interviews with Muslim women who were born and raised in that culture and religion would be very interesting.Thank you.
But then he has to interview hundreds of women from so many different Muslim countries as cultures have impacted their practice of Islam...so the norm will be very different from place to place...
@@frenchonion4595 Based on my experiences and studies I dare to say those women (born and raised as Muslims) wouldn't even be able to walk next to him... let alone arranging an interview, talking and opening up about... anything. Love your work Peter, but if this is the direction of this series I'll pass. Can't be authentic.
@@MemesAndLs aw please, what study and what experiences do you have bruh...you should do research more !! Not from those mainstream medias...lol. I think islam practitioner are vary in their daily life..
I really think that not putting make up is not related to covering. It's just a personal choice and also why do we still worry about what other may criticise? I respect her decision, but I definitely would work more on the points that I mentioned rather than covering me. He said her dream was to not to have to cover, to live in a respectful world. I would only say just don't care about what others say about you.
As you were interviewing Annette, I thought of my Amish family and could relate to some of her feelings. I do dress modestly and no make up. Get the right ladies together and I could see an Amish woman with Annette. As always, thanks for sharing. Greetings from GA, Karen Yoder Edited: In general, when wearing a mandated mask, you can sometimes see smiling eyes!
@@TheSwissChalet Correct, but many do not wear mandated masks either. I know they don't veil. Did I mention my Amish family and I signed off as Yoder? Also, they cover their hair when getting up in the morning and pray all day long while wearing a scarf or prayer kapp.
Can someone please explain to me why the niqab is worn? As a Muslim myself, I do not see any evidence from our books I.e. Quran & authentic hadith saying women have to cover their face? In fact when we perform pilgrimage in the holy city of Makkah women are not supposed to cover their face while performing umrah or hajj (pilgrimage).
I am a muslim and I believe in hijab, I do not believe that niqab is a must. And I do no support women to wear niqab in a non muslim countries. I wish this woman a happy life she is new to islam maybe she will have more information in the near future.
Omar Ahmed. It's her own choice and she is comfortable wearing it. Furthermore, she's living in USA not Iran. I am a Sunni Muslim from Malaysia, some of our women here do put on niqab too. We hv no problem with that.
Your channel opened up a whole new world for me! Seeing so many cultures and ways of living, so many wisdoms from different groups, it made me feel more humbled .Hopefully I will be more accepting and respecting towards people I meet everyday. This is what makes America GREAT!
Bro these woman dress like mother marry, and the so called fake Christians are questioning, You people in America wake up A white man has A beard and it's called fashion But when A Muslim man has a beard and dress like moses, Jesus, Mohammad, he's called terrorist😂 The Christians this day and age have nothing of Jesus ,morals and principles, And believing in the one god, Allah in arabic language Every Muslim in the world love Jesus But the jews don't , but yet the so called Christians want to support Israel,,
Hmmm...She seems really confused. This is not just a muslim fashion choice, yet nothing other than that was mentioned as to why it's worn. Nice lady, but I learned nothing from this particular interview. She was either hiding the real reasons for its use or she is very confused and just wearing it for all of those emotional reasons she stated. Something isn't right here?
@@sjan4480 she has her own reasons in Sha Allah whatever it is.. it's for the good reasons , don't judge her please *And she's a convert.. she needs to learn the religion without getting bashed by this kind of comment
She makes some interesting points on niqab/burqa being a way for her to feel completely free of the surface level judgment that women have to face every day (too skinny, too fat, too old, too young, too ugly, too pretty, too much makeup, not enough makeup...). Makes me think of how judgmental the society is towards women and their looks. Although I wouldn't choose her way of clothing I understand how choosing it could paradoxically feel liberating.
I can understand that, but it doesn't seem ideal. You can choose to dress for your own comfort and simply not worry about what other people think rather than have your entire style revolve around the fear of what other people are thinking of you. A lot of these people still wear eye makeup too. And they wear this stuff when it's 100 degrees outside.
We need to understand other religions and cultures to bridge the gap of our differences in an ever increasingly divided society. You sir are doing very important work.
My opinion: This girl says she "had it all". Maybe, but she for sure never had herself. It sounds like she was struggling with bad self image, self esteem, and paranoia because of what she now says she has found "safety". She also says she isn't judge now, but she clearly still is. Perhaps she means she stopped judging herself as much. Being spiritual and loving yourself can still happen without all that, so Im not going to pretend to say I understand her.
Thanks for this video! You should also talk about Chaldeans in Metro Detroit. Few people know about them outside of people who live here. They are Catholic Iraqis with their own rich culture and approach to Catholicism.
Oh yes! I have been to Chaldean Mass in San Diego. There were a number of Chaldean students where she went to school in San Diego. The culture and liturgy is amazing.
I was thinking the same thing , right now she is covering like a Muslim , but she goes to the Catholic church but she keeps the Shabbat and wants to know more of Jewish women .
She, like the vast majority of us, is on a journey to figure it out. A few lucky souls, however, have the working of this world clear. The rest of us seem to float.
As a woman, this was a tough one for me to swallow. While I understand her reasons for covering, I don't agree with them. And she lost me at the 4 wives thing and being ok with it, lol. Anyhoo, I appreciate her taking the time to talk to us. Just goes to show we can disagree and still keep it respectful.
It seems this lady is Shia, not sunni, and there are some differences between the 2 "sects" of Islam. A woman has the right to write in the marriage that she will not accept that her husband marries anyone other than her. This is something that should be cleared up. She's okay with her husband marrying 3 others, but many if not most muslim women prefer monogamy. Secondly, scholars have 2 opinions regarding wearing the niqab (the face covering) but they all agree that a woman should cover her hair and neck and body in a certain way. Similarly, they also say that a man must cover his body in a certain way (but not his hair and neck and face). Islam is a religion that values modesty and reality. Non-muslims don't have to believe in or understand the concept of hijab or niqab. A person must first seek the one true religion and the one true God. Once they find that, they must strive to follow that religion's commandments to the best of their ability. Muslims believe in the one true God and that Islam is the one true religion, and therefore they follow the religion's commandments. Non-muslims don't believe in the one true God and so asking them to understand or believe in some commandments such as hijab or niqab is moot, as it is a secondary point. Even if a muslim woman chooses not to wear the hijab, that would be a sin, but her belief system at the end of the day is the true one.
I wanted to post my comment here as well sry if it's a bother. Allowing 4 wives is actually just an old thing. It was brought down from people having 20 or more. I would never want to give my sister as a second wife to anyone. She wouldnt accept it in the first place ofc. I think we can be called a religious family in turkiye as muslims but accepting 4 wives is no rule in islam. It's AT MOST 4, directed at people who want more. And many of the muslim scholars actually adviced muslim men to have only one wife in the middle ages. At least this is how we are brought up in anatolia. So if you dont accept 4 wives thing, you are still perfectly a muslim just dont have sex with anyone other than your wife or husband whether you are a man or woman. And also face veils and black niqab is generaly not well received around me neither. Ofc it is a freedom fot anyone who wants to wear them but our thinking might be a bit different. Because humans are created as social beings and many around me believe this kind of cuts them off or at least distances them a bit. Turk women have always played a big part in country's struggles, they fought side by side with men when necessary and our outlook on this issue might stem from this. But one thing i know for sure is islam was sent to all humanity not just to arabs. And the perfect example was given in our prophet. It doesnt mean we have to copy arabic traditions, at least thats how we usually approach this matter. I have arab friends, some syrian some palestinian around me who i really like and get along with, im saying this because this sint about looking down on arabs or anything its just about being different. And for some niqab and face veil might feel liberating in some circumstances but no woman around me actually finds its so. As the comment before me pointed out, modesty and being realistic about our lustful side is the important part
@@MaxClydeccording to both Sunni and Shia a wife can not forbid the husband to bring a second wife even if she doesn't like it since it's the husband god given right The only way a wife can prevent it is by writing it down in the marriage contract during the wedding and the husband has to agree with it. So it has to be in the contract, without it the husband can bring in more wifes into the marriage
@@Revitalization4241 even though its allowed for a husband to have more than one wife even if the wife doesn't agree to it. you should understand that its not good in general to do that because you kind of breaking her trust and its in all better to just be on good terms with your wife because its better to live without fighting between the spouses. So while technically it's allowed to do that, ethically it isn't.
Sounds like she doesn’t wear this for religious reasons more for her lack of self confidence in her own self and not wanting to be judged for how she looks. An interesting view but I’d like to see what other women who didn’t just convert in think
@@cindydaugherty8441 the hijab(hair covering) is a religious obligation on Muslim women. Whereas the Niqab(full face covering) that she is wearing is an option. Due to that, each woman that wears the Niqab has her own reasons for wearing one. Whatever the reasons, however, wearing a Niqab makes a Muslim woman get closer to God and she earns the favour of her lord for doing that.
Thank you, my beautiful dear. I respect you. I am proud of you. Your words are very beautiful. I will pray to God for you. Do you have any questions? I am Monsef from Morocco. Hello. Any time it is an honor for you to come.
Peter, let me compliment you on opening our eyes to different cultures and beliefs that are foreign to many of us. It gives us an appreciation for those who were raised and believe differently than us. When I worked for a major corporation, they had a program that fostered spending a few days to a week with a number of different departments to get an appreciation for what those departments did in relationship to our own. I liken it to what you're doing with these series. You do it without judgement and allow the individuals to speak openly which is so refreshing. I don't know how you are able to find those willing to participate but whatever you're doing, please keep it up because it is very enlightening and appreciated.
I live in Romania. A few years back, i started wearing a scarf [not in a Muslim way, but more like in a Jewish style?] as well as this ankle-length dress that i made myself, but not all the time together. the point was to cover my hair and ears, especially my ears as i have issues with one of them. I did feel liberated in a way. I felt protected, i felt people were staring less at me [as in i felt they ignored me], and it felt really nice. Those who say they feel oppressed by their hijab/niqab/whatever, must feel that way, or why would they say it? They most likely feel they had to saying in it and it's most likely true. 2 women = 2 distinct realities.
Do Muslins respect feminists and LGBTQIA people?? Stop pretending that there is any tolerance for alternative lifestyles in Islam. You have too much sexism and homophobia in your precious culture!
This is the start of my Muslim series in the USA (7 videos in total). I tried my best to cover it from as many angles as possible in the Detroit/Dearborn area. One thread coursing through all of these videos is that Islam has a full range from left to right just like Christianity, Judaism, or any other religion. Sacha Baron Coen and the most conservative Hassidic Jewish person are both Jews. Keep this in mind when you think of Muslims.
I've talked to women in niqabs in Saudi Arabia when it was acceptable, but to do this on camera is next to impossible. Annettee agreed for me to film her so we need to thank her for this, she provided a window into a world that most of us will never get exposed to. She is a Mexican American convert, and to my surprise, there are quite a few Mexican/American converts to Islam. Remember this is one perspective and does not represent all Muslims.
Coming soon will be a video about a Muslim woman who is very liberal and dresses in western style with no headscarf. But just like Annette she prays 5 times a day and is devoted to Islam. So my goal in this series (like most of my work) is to show you that an easy label does not apply. Two people can be Muslim but approach life in completely different ways.
Thanks for watching and I'll see you next Sunday!
You should try speaking with a Muslim scholar
You should also clarify that she is a Shia Muslim. Hopefully your other videos will explain the difference between Shia and Sunni Islam. Great video as always.
You should try interviewing other ethnic groups. Muslims doesn't equate to Arab! There's a huge community of Somali/Indian/East Asian/Bosnian community of Muslims in America too!

I completely get why this woman feels more freedom. As women, it is exhausting to present yourself to the world on a daily basis. Not only do I feel this woman is bada$$ but she is a symbol of strength. Her energy is so independent. It is a shame the perception is that she is oppressed. I wish I had her courage.
You think she is liberal? Maybe some or even majority of women covering themselves enjoy it, but it doesn't mean that they support freedom of others to uncover own bodies. Some Muslims agree it is an obligation for women to cover their faces, some think it is only about covering their hair. Do you know that many interpret the Islamic law that it should be enforced on Muslim women to cover themselves. Some claim all women, no matter what religion they adhere to, need to cover, because otherwise they spread corruption.
Is it shocking that many see it as immoral to uncover, shameful, and therefore enforce covering on daughters, wives if necessary?
@@hyawill8944 that isn’t what the Quran states. Misinterpretation of Islam is cultural and not religious.

Have you ever heard about Hanafi, Maliki, Shaafi, Hanbali schools of Islamic judisprudence in Sunni Islam? Do you even know what Salifis say about it?
Out of context you say...:) Great. As usual.

Looking at the comments here, this is a much-needed series. I've never seen so much judgment. This woman is too religious. She's not religious enough. On and on. I don't remember comments like this on either your Hasidic or your Amish series. Muslims in this country face a lot of discrimination. I look forward to learning more about this community. Thank you so much for doing this.
God Bless you ❤️
Well said 👏
@Roger Crankshaw You’re correct one the fact that people have the right to judge and discriminate, however it doesn’t mean that it’s right. And second, you have to check the lens in which you’re viewing things. Islam does not incite terrorist attacks. There are a group of extremists who incorrectly justify their personal and political views by twisting the religion of Islam to fit their needs. How about the fact that many who died in 9/11 were Muslim. How about the fact that most Muslims ( those who don’t belong to these extremist groups) publicly oppose terrorism and all extremists groups. That isn’t fair to take a select group of people and allow them to speak for over a billion people. According to Islam, what they are doing is immoral and are grave sins. There are always people who will twist, misconstrue and go against the actual rules of religion or laws and make it seem as if it is lawful. ( think of the coup that happened this past January with the U.S. government). Think of slavery, the KKK, or the crusades. What about the Christians who bomb planned parenthood’s, they do not speak for the majority of Christians. It is very narrow minded to think that such a small group represents the whole people. Would you consider every Italian to be in the Mafia? I know these are many examples and you may not think that they fit but it’s all the same thing. Don’t judge a whole group because of a few. Do you actually know any Muslims? I’m guessing not. True Islam is about peace. These frauds who use Islam to perpetuate hate and violence are not true Muslims. I feel sorry that you feel the way that you do. Do some research, get yourself out there ( unless you’re content in your frame of thinking then that’s your choice). May God bless you.
@Roger Crankshaw Along the same logic of doing Math, I have found some other followers have killed humongous amount of people throughout the history to today though under the guise of noble causes. If I were to look at the world your way, then this whole world would be on fire with 1+ Billion Muslims flourishing in this world. May you open your eyes so peace may prevail in this world!

What an interesting perspective, there's so much judgement in society I can see why this lady feels freedom. Yet again I have learnt so much by watching these videos. Personally for me as a partially deaf person who wears a hearing aid, I feel I would struggle to communicate, as I rely on lip reading for the most part. I once sat on a plane with a lady who wore a niqab, you could feel the tension on that flight, I decided to introduce myself to the lady who was very well educated and graciously offered some of her food to me, which I took and it was delicious! That was one of the most relaxing flights I have ever taken and thankfully she sat on my good side so I could hear her perfectly!
So a person who suffers from agoraphobia has freedom because she does not want to interact with society and wants to stay all day inside her house ordering food online? nonsense! this is a brainwashed and as result kind of like Stockholm syndrome..
Stg I feel like many Muslims always keep food at hand because they know that opens up the hearts of people who don’t know & fear them 😂 I’ve also seen an interview with a niqab wearing woman in my country who said she and most women she knows are happy to uncover their mouth if someone really depends on lip-reading
People cover they faces when they Do not want to be recognised.
HOW IS THOS LEGAL IN CIVILIZED COUNTRY?!?!?!?🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯😳😳🤯🤯
TAQiYYA
Assuming Niqab is the correct way, did you ask yourself why is it not applicable to.men also? They shouldnt also be judged based on their looks. Further, men can marry up to 4 wives but not women. Ask yourself.
Important to note that the mosque in the background is a Shia mosque. They have different beliefs and rules than the Sunni.
It would be wonderful to see both.
and the fact she is wearing niqab instead of chador, is kinda weird.
Very true but both have the same oppressive beliefs about women they also both equally believe in lying to infidels.

Saudi Women are SHAMELESS yeah read that again, if the king allowed that it's woman choice to wear Hijab or not, that doesn't mean you can show your face(cause it's prohibited in Islam) if they are a true muslim that to living in Saudi they better know that Hijab plays a vital role in Islam so If they are a true Muslim they wouldn't show their face, SHAME on them

As fellow Mexican, so much of our worth is put into not only our appearance (curvy, long hair, fair skin), but also our sexual appeal to the point that outside culture know us for our sexiness and “passion”. So I completely understand where she is coming from and power to her for letting go!
How is that a bad thing
Sexyness is not only physical but also about personality.
@@badxradxandy Many people use and abuse women because of that.
@@nunya54 How is something being beautiful a bad thing because people take advantage of it? Evil people are evil. Beautiful and nice people need to be protected rather than turning ugly to avoid being victimized because guess what? Ugly people get victimized too. Would you rather be an ugly victim? Keep your culture and the things that you like about it. Find people who are down with that and down with you.
@@badxradxandy as a woman, i can say that being sexualized in any way, feels shitty most of the time. please don’t speak for women and say that’s a “good thing”. you DONT know how it feels.
The fact that Peter actual listens and is non judgmental makes all his videos very interesting. My fav ones were him in the Amish community and Jewish community. There’s soo many similarities than differences. One world one love! Peace for all!
cool video , I'm not religious , but good for her , I think she has every right to dress how she wants , I gave the video a like . So the thing about the 4 wives , usually its only for people who got like millions of dollars in the bank account , most guys don't get 4 wives , its more people who who own like multiple houses worldwide and have huge amounts of cash in the bank and who can't stay with one wife because they are traveling and away from family for work , I don't really have a opinion on it , I guess most guys like the idea and since I'm a guy I'm ok with it but most girls don't like the idea which is fine , its depends on how rich the guy is .
So getting 4 wives is different from adultery because adultery could get you sent to jail in most Muslim countries , it could also get you beat up by family or by the police depending how how many partners you had , if you had multiple partners like a hundred girlfriends or something , the police might show up and beat you up or something , sometimes people get sent to jail , if your HIV/AIDS positive you might get executed

Religion has been the excuse for some of the most horrendous acts in history. I believe there is a higher consciousness that is not limited to any specific religion.

She seems lovely and it's nice to hear her feelings and experience. But I will also say that generally in the west, your facial features are a huge part of how people communicate. For me, the 'fear' is more a lack of trust for anyone that isn't communicating with me in an open and upfront way. If men walked around with a balaclava, I would be so uncomfortable.
For almost 2 years we were wearing balaclava the face musk and still some do as, instituted by the government as a protection from covid 19, so this idea is old and unsubstantiated and completely deconstructed that covering the face restraints and restricted us, only because few of us wears this face covering as religious simple, it's strange but when everyone was expected to wear it, then it became normalised, so this excuse to force those who look different then the majority to adapt the custom of ever changing society, is to stigmatise and be polemical against them because they offend our modern sensibilities which is forever going through metamorphosis, look how people dressed in earlier part of the 19 century. It's natural defences to be apprehensive about people with different religion and customs then you, we even tell our children “stranger danger” for good reasons. Knowledge is the key to melt away prejudices.
So if you cover yourself completely so people no judging you? I would figure out why i warry so much people judging me first.
@khaderlander2429 a MANDATORY medical face mask, is entirely different from someone choosing to cover every aspect of their face. And to be clear, it was odd and uncomfortable interacting and meeting people during covid for that exact reason that I've just explained.

@@mellando9770 the point of our covering is to blend in so in the summer, lighter colours in the winter darker. Literally makes the most sense as having a bright colour in winter would stand out and a dark colour in summer would stand out.

I think the important point here is that Annette is free to choose how she practices her faith. My issue with any religion is when choice (on matters like this) is removed.
Awesome video as always 👏🏻
Liberalism is a false religion, only God is true
In Islam you are not forced to wear hijab, just atleast consider it and take small steps whenever you are ready to start wearing it. It's just that some people force women to cover which is not allowed
I don’t think you understand. Hijab/Niqab was banned in Turkey and many parts throughout the Arab peninsula by foreign forces under the guise of communism. It was women who fought to bring it back. It’s women who want to wear it. You’ve been indoctrinated by Israeli propaganda
My mother was born and raised in a region of the Arabian peninsula where the Niqab/Hijab was banned. She came to the USA not accustomed to wearing a hijab. It was here that she started to wear a hijab FREELY. It’s Israel, via her proxies, who want to enforce laws like this not only on Muslims, but everyone. Throughout the land.
@AbeTheFakeSage let others practice as they will. There are so many sects of Islam/Muslim why go around trying to prove that you're the "right" one? Let others be if they're not hurting anyone. I'm christian. I could tell you and every different sect of Christianity or other religions that they are wrong. What would that do? Nothing.
I am a born Muslim and I will say that a lot of my niqabi friends that are MUSLIM BORN share the mentality as this sister, which is indeed not uncommon. I wear the hijab and I was not forced by anyone to wear it, I find it rather liberating. It is extremely frustrating that people will have a problem with my own life choice or think that I am oppressed and feel obligated to free me or advocate on my behalf. In saying this, I do not deny that there are some Muslim woman that don't want to wear it and are forced, but I assure it is not the MAJORITY!!

I don't think she understood the most fundemetals of Islam if she does Sabbath. Her talked more seems she wear niqb not for the sake of Islam and to be modest but to hide the negative judgments of the physic?

In a culture that demands you "get your bikini body back" two weeks after giving birth, that idolizes youth, that doesn't let any woman physically just BE with gray hair, wrinkles, stretch marks and so on, there's really just no way to understate how freeing and empowering Islam is for women.

It is liberating. Alhamdulillah.

But that's the thing; you don't have to follow these so called societal rules. There's plenty of women that don't and aren't hijabis. Omg, they act like as if those kind of women don't exist.

She chooses to wear it because she has psychological trauma associated with her body image and it is a physical defense mechanism for her. I don't think the religious aspect is the main drive for her wearing it but was an open pathway for her to take. I'm not saying its right or wrong I'm just stating how it appears to me through her dialogue.
I think women who walk around half-naked have psychological trauma and it should be investigated, its in human nature to cover your body
Please don’t assume. She prefaced she wears it out of her devotion to god. She wanted to get closer to god and not follow the bandwagon of our destructive society constantly sexualising women. That’s is her secondary explanations as to why she wears it. Why would someone go through and wear it despite all hardship just because of her trauma. Mashallah it looks like she is very educated and can see society truly for the way it is.
Facts
As a married Jewish woman, who follows the laws of tzanua (modesty) and covers her hair - I so identify with much of what Annettee is saying. While we do not cover like niqab, the idea of being covered, separating from the common world, and maintaining one’s inner self and integrity is so much a vital part of our (orthodox) tradition, too. And I’d love to be your friend, Annettee! It’s only through having an open mind and heart - with each of us secure in our individual attachment to our traditions, respecting one another - that we can move the world towards one of Peace and fulfillment.
Thank you, Peter - what you’re doing is awesome!…and Peter…as much as the idea of bringing together some of the guys - make a video of the women together…

You'll be surprised how open women in niqab are to being asked questions
Really ? 😄! I am another muslim woman. i get weird looks when I completely cover outside, but I am very cool and easygoing. I love reading books (theology, philosophy and french literature especially)(oh and sherlock holmes), I like skateboarding, playing board games with my husband, cooking , etc!

She is a bit on the fundamentalist side though. Islam doesn’t require women to cover their faces, it’s the believe of at least 80% of Muslim population. Also, polygamy is an option in rare cases and women shouldn’t be agreeing with it so easily. The conditions of polygamy are so strict that not even .01% of humans can fulfill it. For instance, in polygamy a man is required to treat all wives equally if he can’t do it he shouldn’t be going for the second wife. Tell me how many humans can treat two individuals equally?

This lady seems interesting in that she is currently a muslim in a niqab and yet she still goes to catholic church with family when possible. Also seems to have body confidence issues with her appearance. Would that still be the case if she was happy with her body/face etc? I'm getting a lot of mixed signals. I feel you need to interview more muslim covered women to get more perspectives and not just hers.
Edit to add that she is also interested in wishing to practice jewish culture. Like pick something and stick with it.
She's not a Muslim, she's a Rafidite.
Muslims aren't allowed to pray in their temples.

I really have a feeling she is a leftist and she does it for nostalgia or political reasons. I could be wrong but it does not seem she’s doing it for the right reasons. Let me know what you think.
I believe she does not really know what she wants to be , right now she is covering like a Muslim , but goes to the Catholic church and celebrates the Shabbat and wants to know more about Jewish Women ?
I feel like she is a mixed bag. not to discredit, but the motivations seem different than those born into it.
It's very different being a Muslim woman in a free country than in a originally Muslim country. It's always the same rhetoric.
She's not a Muslim, she's a Rafidite.

She is not Muslim and this is why she is allowed out without a man.
You realize that all societies influence what women wear ? The west influences women to dress less modestly thinking,people they are free but societal standards and industry influences what on wears. Sure there are countries like saudi that force it despite islam saying that niqab is not mandatory. But there are plenty of countries that dont force it.

These series are well needed I would reccommend visiting scholars and discussing the views with them. You will find Muslims are the best of people in terms of manners and hospitality.
My husband I and some friends of ours got to know a local Muslim business owner and became friends with him. When my female friend and I mentioned to him that we’d love to have coffee with his wife who we also knew to some level, he refused and said we can’t do that. She did not have a say in the matter.
If a Muslim refused invitation then he committed sin because our prophet (pbuh) told us to always accept invitation. That Muslim was not following faith properly
@Aisha Abdi, thanks or the explanation.
That is very weird. I see muslim women in hijab talking to non-muslim women all the time.

Thank you Peter for educating a lot of us on other cultures, great work sir!
Assalamualaikum👋 as a niqabi I just wanted to say thanks to the creator of this video for giving or helping others to see from our prospective and all so... thank you
Also, I can relate to this women too. For me, its freedom having control over what I want the world to see and what I dont want them to see. Personally speaking I have felt much more comfortable in public than before covering, I also found that I'm not sexualized like I was before (people treat me more respectfully too) and I feel like it has helped me sin less in public specifically like I watch myself and what I do more, I genuinely feel safer too. I dont know how to explain it fully but it helped me heal in a way, when I first started wearing the niqab, the fact the I was SA-ed caught up to me when I couldn't run from it anymore and the niqab has helped me and helped me feel like my body is mine again and like I had control over it again. Yeah, so this was some of my reasons but mainly just cause I wanted to do this and this also kinda forces people to judge me for my personality and for my general self instead of appearance. (The niqab is not really common especially for my age and where I live so definitely out of free will too)
Y'all enjoy your day and stay safe🍪
Subhanallah BarakAllah sister may Allah bless you and preserve you 💕

Salaam alaikum sister ♥
I'm a convert to Islam, and I choose to wear niqab as well. I feel liberated! People can judge me based on my character, not on my outward appearance. If you ever want to to a Skype interview, let me know. I'd be more than happy to answer your questions.
@Niro Pattar it says fear Allah if you do bad if you hurt or harm others because he's the one who holds power to punish the superiors in the mankind and he surly is capable of doing justice to all
@Niro Pattar "Say, ‘If you love God, follow me, and God will love you and forgive you your sins; God is most forgiving, most merciful.’"
--Quran 3:31
"Like Satan, who says to man, ‘Do not believe!’ but when man disbelieves, says, ‘I disown you; I fear God, the Lord of the Worlds,’"
Quran 59:16
So there is love and fear.

Peter you do a great job interviewing people and being authentic.
Curious how well she is accepted into the Muslim community due to her past and her willingness to talk and actually go to other churches and temples.
cool video , I'm not religious , but good for her , I think she has every right to dress how she wants , I gave the video a like . So the thing about the 4 wives , usually its only for people who got like millions of dollars in the bank account , most guys don't get 4 wives , its more people who who own like multiple houses worldwide and have huge amounts of cash in the bank and who can't stay with one wife because they are traveling and away from family for work , I don't really have a opinion on it , I guess most guys like the idea and since I'm a guy I'm ok with it but most girls don't like the idea which is fine , its depends on how rich the guy is .
So getting 4 wives is different from adulty because adulty could get you sent to jail in most Muslim countries , it could also get you beat up by family or by the police depending how how many partners you had , if you had multiple partners like a hundred girlfriends or something , the police might show up and beat you up or something , sometimes people get sent to jail , if your HIV/AIDS positive you might get executed
it depends on where you are born , if your a Muslim in Africa than you probably celebrate African folklore and traditions , if your a Muslim in America or Europe than you probably celebrate Christmas and if your a Muslim in the Asia pacific region you probably celebrate Buddhism , it depends where you are born , a lot of Muslim nations celebrate pre-Islamic traditions , like Iran
We (reverts) to islam are welcomed & our past doesn’t matter anymore.. it’s sort of like when Christians are reborn… so in a sense it’s similar… our sins are forgiven.. we have a clean slate🌸
I'm a muslim girl living in Istanbul, Turkey and I went to many churches in Istanbul, and seen that many Muslims actually go to churches just to explore and take their views about other beliefs. One of my friends went to a church in Antalya, Turkey and she said that she has talked with a Finnish priest and asked about many things and his experiences as a Christian priest in Turkey. She said that he was treated very welcoming because people are respectful and they approach very nicely. Religious differences is not a huge deal.

@@casvil okay? It was their culture
Such a huge eye opener. Steal all dignity and freedom from women and fully control their lives. Such an awesome religion.
When she speaks about her decision to cover/wear a niqab, she doesn't mention anything about religious beliefs or teachings from the Quran etc. Usually the reason that religions cover their heads etc, is because of their faith/Biblical teaching.
@Lilman Yellow in the tanakh it says women had to cover their hair because of the malakhim
Agreed. It’s sad really. She only feels confident if anything that makes her an individual visually is removed and she is a blank slate. This is a tool she’s using to deal with self-confidence and worth issues.
The question I have is who is judging? Who is making her feel this way? I think we all know the answer…..
They're not Muslims, they're Rafidites.
@Lilman Yellow men too does, they too wear kurtas and cover there hair.
It sounded like she was doing it so she didn't need to bother making herself look good and could just live like a slob and cover it all up.

@celebrul_anonim_ - I’m sad to read this negativity. I’m a Christian who doesn’t have all the answers, but I know in my heart that God loves us ALL. Not just Christians, not just Muslims, not just Jewish, etc.
He created different paths to reach Him. We need to be constrained in these various faiths because we cannot function as decent human beings without structure and rules. God knows this about us. He sees our hearts always.
1. He asks of us to love Him with all of our hearts.
2. To love our neighbors and care for them as we would like to be cared for.
These are the two most important commands. From these two things everything else falls into place. God never mentioned “to love Christian or Jewish or Muslim, etc., neighbors.”
No, He simply stated “love one another”.

Can someone please explain to me why the niqab is worn? As a Muslim myself, I do not see any evidence from our books I.e. Quran & authentic hadith saying women have to cover their face? In fact when we perform pilgrimage in the holy city of Makkah women are not supposed to cover their face while performing umrah or hajj (pilgrimage).
It isn't in the Quran, it is a ruling made up by human beings
hijab and naqab were basically meant for men. These are words used symbolically in the Hadith and are meant for men, not women
I am a muslim and I believe in hijab, I do not believe that niqab is a must. And I do no support women to wear niqab in a non muslim countries. I wish this woman a happy life she is new to islam maybe she will have more information in the near future.
Omar Ahmed. It's her own choice and she is comfortable wearing it. Furthermore, she's living in USA not Iran. I am a Sunni Muslim from Malaysia, some of our women here do put on niqab too. We hv no problem with that.

She makes some interesting points on niqab/burqa being a way for her to feel completely free of the surface level judgment that women have to face every day (too skinny, too fat, too old, too young, too ugly, too pretty, too much makeup, not enough makeup...). Makes me think of how judgmental the society is towards women and their looks. Although I wouldn't choose her way of clothing I understand how choosing it could paradoxically feel liberating.
nonsense, the men feels the same too
@@christianmeza4941 not really
I can understand that, but it doesn't seem ideal. You can choose to dress for your own comfort and simply not worry about what other people think rather than have your entire style revolve around the fear of what other people are thinking of you. A lot of these people still wear eye makeup too. And they wear this stuff when it's 100 degrees outside.
We need to understand other religions and cultures to bridge the gap of our differences in an ever increasingly divided society. You sir are doing very important work.
Thank you Peter. As always, this was interesting. And thank Annette for being willing to do this interview.
My opinion: This girl says she "had it all". Maybe, but she for sure never had herself. It sounds like she was struggling with bad self image, self esteem, and paranoia because of what she now says she has found "safety". She also says she isn't judge now, but she clearly still is. Perhaps she means she stopped judging herself as much.
Being spiritual and loving yourself can still happen without all that, so Im not going to pretend to say I understand her.
This is a great comment this is exactly what I was thinking !

You should check out britany Simon on TH-cam. She is a 1st generation Chaldean-American who has her own podcast.
Oh yes! I have been to Chaldean Mass in San Diego. There were a number of Chaldean students where she went to school in San Diego. The culture and liturgy is amazing.
My cousins are Chaldean and I agree, he should do an episode on their culture.
I’d love that too 🌸
By this day.. I become a Peter's fan for his open mindness and respectful
Islam like other countries are made to divide us and oppresse us ! all muslim continues are poor and oppressed ! name me one that is not ?
She seems very confused on what she believes
She’s grasping for identity.
Because her knowledge about Islam was weak.
@@cbasst8 She did not even spoke about Islam only about the covering , she is very confused .
I was thinking the same thing , right now she is covering like a Muslim , but she goes to the Catholic church but she keeps the Shabbat and wants to know more of Jewish women .
She, like the vast majority of us, is on a journey to figure it out. A few lucky souls, however, have the working of this world clear. The rest of us seem to float.
As a woman, this was a tough one for me to swallow.
While I understand her reasons for covering, I don't agree with them.
And she lost me at the 4 wives thing and being ok with it, lol.
Anyhoo, I appreciate her taking the time to talk to us. Just goes to show we can disagree and still keep it respectful.
The dark ages 1400 years ago frankly scary
It seems this lady is Shia, not sunni, and there are some differences between the 2 "sects" of Islam.
A woman has the right to write in the marriage that she will not accept that her husband marries anyone other than her. This is something that should be cleared up. She's okay with her husband marrying 3 others, but many if not most muslim women prefer monogamy.
Secondly, scholars have 2 opinions regarding wearing the niqab (the face covering) but they all agree that a woman should cover her hair and neck and body in a certain way. Similarly, they also say that a man must cover his body in a certain way (but not his hair and neck and face).
Islam is a religion that values modesty and reality.
Non-muslims don't have to believe in or understand the concept of hijab or niqab. A person must first seek the one true religion and the one true God. Once they find that, they must strive to follow that religion's commandments to the best of their ability.
Muslims believe in the one true God and that Islam is the one true religion, and therefore they follow the religion's commandments.
Non-muslims don't believe in the one true God and so asking them to understand or believe in some commandments such as hijab or niqab is moot, as it is a secondary point. Even if a muslim woman chooses not to wear the hijab, that would be a sin, but her belief system at the end of the day is the true one.
I wanted to post my comment here as well sry if it's a bother. Allowing 4 wives is actually just an old thing. It was brought down from people having 20 or more. I would never want to give my sister as a second wife to anyone. She wouldnt accept it in the first place ofc. I think we can be called a religious family in turkiye as muslims but accepting 4 wives is no rule in islam. It's AT MOST 4, directed at people who want more. And many of the muslim scholars actually adviced muslim men to have only one wife in the middle ages. At least this is how we are brought up in anatolia. So if you dont accept 4 wives thing, you are still perfectly a muslim just dont have sex with anyone other than your wife or husband whether you are a man or woman. And also face veils and black niqab is generaly not well received around me neither. Ofc it is a freedom fot anyone who wants to wear them but our thinking might be a bit different. Because humans are created as social beings and many around me believe this kind of cuts them off or at least distances them a bit. Turk women have always played a big part in country's struggles, they fought side by side with men when necessary and our outlook on this issue might stem from this. But one thing i know for sure is islam was sent to all humanity not just to arabs. And the perfect example was given in our prophet. It doesnt mean we have to copy arabic traditions, at least thats how we usually approach this matter. I have arab friends, some syrian some palestinian around me who i really like and get along with, im saying this because this sint about looking down on arabs or anything its just about being different. And for some niqab and face veil might feel liberating in some circumstances but no woman around me actually finds its so. As the comment before me pointed out, modesty and being realistic about our lustful side is the important part
@@MaxClydeccording to both Sunni and Shia a wife can not forbid the husband to bring a second wife even if she doesn't like it since it's the husband god given right
The only way a wife can prevent it is by writing it down in the marriage contract during the wedding and the husband has to agree with it.
So it has to be in the contract, without it the husband can bring in more wifes into the marriage
@@Revitalization4241 even though its allowed for a husband to have more than one wife even if the wife doesn't agree to it. you should understand that its not good in general to do that because you kind of breaking her trust and its in all better to just be on good terms with your wife because its better to live without fighting between the spouses. So while technically it's allowed to do that, ethically it isn't.
Sounds like she doesn’t wear this for religious reasons more for her lack of self confidence in her own self and not wanting to be judged for how she looks. An interesting view but I’d like to see what other women who didn’t just convert in think
She, like so many of us on planet Earth, is on a journey. A journey to explore, learn, and find oneself.
I agree, I always thought it was religous reasons for wearing it.
@@cindydaugherty8441 but it is dangerous look 👀 at europe now a days
I think she means those are some reasons that her belief in faith helps fulfill because there is a reason for Almighty wisdom and wishes
@@cindydaugherty8441 the hijab(hair covering) is a religious obligation on Muslim women. Whereas the Niqab(full face covering) that she is wearing is an option. Due to that, each woman that wears the Niqab has her own reasons for wearing one. Whatever the reasons, however, wearing a Niqab makes a Muslim woman get closer to God and she earns the favour of her lord for doing that.
She seems like an amazing women
Hi Emily
Thank you very much for the beautiful and kind words that come from your heart. I will invite you to me for goodness and guidance
Thank you, my beautiful dear. I respect you. I am proud of you. Your words are very beautiful. I will pray to God for you. Do you have any questions? I am Monsef from Morocco. Hello. Any time it is an honor for you to come.
Exactly that's what crossed my mind
Peter, let me compliment you on opening our eyes to different cultures and beliefs that are foreign to many of us. It gives us an appreciation for those who were raised and believe differently than us. When I worked for a major corporation, they had a program that fostered spending a few days to a week with a number of different departments to get an appreciation for what those departments did in relationship to our own. I liken it to what you're doing with these series. You do it without judgement and allow the individuals to speak openly which is so refreshing. I don't know how you are able to find those willing to participate but whatever you're doing, please keep it up because it is very enlightening and appreciated.
♥️
I live in Romania. A few years back, i started wearing a scarf [not in a Muslim way, but more like in a Jewish style?] as well as this ankle-length dress that i made myself, but not all the time together. the point was to cover my hair and ears, especially my ears as i have issues with one of them. I did feel liberated in a way. I felt protected, i felt people were staring less at me [as in i felt they ignored me], and it felt really nice.
Those who say they feel oppressed by their hijab/niqab/whatever, must feel that way, or why would they say it? They most likely feel they had to saying in it and it's most likely true. 2 women = 2 distinct realities.
You are an amazing interviewer. Thank you for sharing other cultures and spreading awareness.
I'm really excited about this series, Peter! Thanks to you and all who participated :)
it's just amazingly beautiful to watch Peter make all these various people so articulate & (to some degree or another) relatable.

Do Muslins respect feminists and LGBTQIA people?? Stop pretending that there is any tolerance for alternative lifestyles in Islam. You have too much sexism and homophobia in your precious culture!
