This Muslim-American Woman Fulfilled Her Dream Of Being A TV Reporter | Megyn Kelly TODAY
It's a scarf.....who care what she is wearing.....as long as she does the job! Good for the station that hired her! This is the way change will happen!!! Beautiful woman!
th-cam.com/video/7d16CpWp-ok/w-d-xo.html
People who aren't nasty and hateful and have some sense wouldn't care what she's wearing...thankfully those hateful nasty people are finally becoming the minority,not only in this country but all over the world...most of mainstream media would want us to believe otherwise....and while there are alot of negative things happening in this world we cannot give up,because in the end love,compassion,and tolerance WILL win and I think this story and other stories like it prove that...LOVE ALWAYS WINS IN THE END :)
wendy kemp no, the hijab being used for Islamic purposes is evil.
Wendy kemp. U are the most good person in the world. 🖒
For most western people, they are not able to accept the head scarf. The nuns have been wearing it for 2000 years but still.
I don't want to offend anyone, but Muslim-American is like saying Christian-American; it's a religion not her ethnicity.
Yes you are right!
THANK YOU! No wonder people think muslim is a race. Smh.
Quackgoestheweasel although I get what you’re saying, it’s to point out that they’re not mutually exclusive.
It can be cultural a lot of times not just religious so it can be ethnic
I initially thought the same but mentioning Muslim-American is important here because she faced discrimination because of one aspect of her Muslim identity.
Amazing story. She is staying modest on the job. Thank you.
Ha ha ..."she is staying modest on the job"....how dumb can you get. She is saying being a slave is good.
cndvd You're a slave... A slave of brainwashing
@@cndvd who is a slave because I don't see that figure as one of them she worked hard for her dream and the support of her family. That shows freedom like a million of Muslim female around the world
@@YonikMalik ......Really ? Mandatory to cover your hair ? Hair that naturally grows on your head and you can't show it in public....you got to wake up....it's wrong ! So so wrong.
And it's because a woman could show more "beauty" is the reason, to cover. That is so so backwards.
I am an indigenous Canadian woman wearing hijab and I have been fired from jobs for praying in a corner at work on my break. I have been told to back to my country 😳 I'm Metis/First Nations my family has been here for thousands of years.
I have been physically attacked, sworn at by white Canadians. I have on the other spectrum been victim to immigrant against immigrants bullying as they think I'm from Afghanistan or Morocco or Syria.
I'm still wearing hijab but I feel very sad Canadian society has such a misunderstanding of peaceful Islam.
Narjaa Narjas salam im somali and im a muslim too and im sorry. Me and my mom have experienced discrimination too because we wear hijab. Don't let it bring you down
Carrot Cake Thank you beautiful sister 🙏🏻
Canada understand Islam very well. Islam is not a religion of peace.
Sister , if hijab is too difficult to wear where you live. Just don't wear it. It's not that important. You can be Muslim without hijab.
Dont worry about them , ignorance cant be helped , they are all losers , you are not an immigrant Canada is your land , Be strong and dont worry about ignorant people .
It's a scarf people - how could anyone discriminate because her scarf. It's prejudice and it's wrong. So beautiful:)
Its a scarf representing a repressive religion, and not representative fashion wear.
no religion in the workplace
Avis Wrentmore That's naive. This is about pushing muslim culture into our American culture. When you are allowed to enter this nation you are rightly expected to assimilate. You don't come here to push your culture on us.
Bruce Berry maybe it’s fashion wear for her. Who are you to say what represents fashion. She is happy I don’t see oppression
R Hawk Fashion? Is that how were spinning it now? If I go to a muslim country I'll be beaten for NOT wearing one. It has no place in western culture and she should be respectful of that.
I'm glad we have representation of muslim hijabi women in journalism. She is so beautiful.
basic core they don’t allow that over there 😂
basic core when people of those religions want one ❤️
@@TheEverythingYoville They do
Hats off to Tahera’s mom.
What an upbringing, my heartfelt blessings to the mom and daughter. You guys have made the entire Muslim community in the world proud. May Allah Ta’ala bless you all profusely and abundantly.
Thank you
Tahera means purity, cleaneness, fair and prudence... Luv the name and luv the hardwork, may this forever be an example for a more free beautiful brave world, USA is setting an Example, they have more Islam than there is in Morocco and many muslim countries.
@PolSmokesPot ! they mean the fair values of opportunity, tolerance that is in Islam but not practiced by those countries they mentioned...
From a particular theoretical view maybe.. since discrimination is the topic at hand I highly doubt anyone should have the notion that the US can be viewed as a role model for other countries. We simply have too much to learn, too much to apologize for. So while of course this is a great story and gives one hope, it is only one instance and not representative of the state of the country as a whole; we still have a long way to go.
Allahuakbar, Proud 2 B a Muslim!!!
^^^^^ severly brainwashed
Frenemy that is hands down the dumbest comment i’ve ever read
Same Mashallah ❤️
Frenemy you know that nuns were scarfs to right
So beautiful and good inspirations from the rest of women in the world, proud of u
Finally, America is becoming progressive. We had female reporters since black and white tv.
@basic core
Islam sick cult
basic core tf that isn’t the Quran....
@basic core u made up verses? wow thats low.
basic core The problem is you’re not showing the complete verse. You’re just showing what helps your case. Please spew your hatred elsewhere. 🙄
Wow congratulation for you ms.Tahera Rahman I am so happy for you to salute for TV station that hire her as a reporter thank you
It really boggles my mind each time I see or hear someone question our hijab!? smh soooo if we were naked and wore low cut clothing boobs hanging out or what ever if that is a CHOICE or an option for a woman then WHY cant it be our choice to dress modestly!!!? When do we think we have the right to tell someone what they can wear and what they cant and WHY or how could it ever be an obstacle for employment! I'm soooooo happy to see this sister follow her dream I hope more women like us do the same! We cover our heads not our minds, We think freely and have educations and we are more than just our "scarfs" we are WOMEN!!!! Congratulations!!!
"We cover our heads not our minds" God bless take notes everyone
Ok , i take objection only to to the use of the word 'Modest' here.
So all non- hijabis are immodest?
I am a Muslim from Egypt. I want to complete half my religion by marrying a girl or an American woman or an foreign Muslim country
@Lady on google merci
@Lady on google you man or woman
Never give up to your dreams
I am so proud of this girl she kept her faith an moral
Come on Guys, Megyn (as we all do) deserves a second Chance. Don't forget, she left Fox for a reason! She's obviously trying to do better..
Sam megyn must be biting her tounge all the time. She hates muslim and is forced to pretend to be nice to one, just so that she can stay at her current job.
I do believe in oneness of God. He is Allah SWT; He is The Real King Of Universe...
Beautiful strong woman, hope i marry a muslim woman.
EgoGraalEra • marry me😜
Well I'm a hairdresser so will cut your hair if u cheat on me🤤✂
♡INSHA I won’t cheat on you, but one question... How old are you 😳
EgoGraalEra 21😛
♡INSHA I’m 20 😯
Where you from btw?
Allah bless u sister
Good to see Megan Kelly developing in to a human after her crazy attitude toward Muslims during her Fox News days.
Khalid A
Welcome to Fox News
@Khalid, Agreed. It’s an incredible transformation .
You dumb. She does these for money and success.
They booo you when you trying and they Cheer you when you made it 😒🙄
Warya wa runta saxib you so right Iska waran niyow
Host: "what is that mean to you, to see that your family watching you do it?"
Her: I feel blessed that not everyone gets to see that
In France for example they make such a big deal of the scarf it is just crazy...some brands had to retrieve their scarf line just to calm down the craziness around it..
Welcome.
From kolkata, India
I'm from Ghana and I am only 16 years old l want to become a journalist and TV reporter and l know l will make it in the future . Pls l think you are lucky Allah bless you
Mashaallha.... May allha blessed you sister
Masha Allah good
I´m happy to see her happy. I just hope that she will be one of the reporters who at least try/strive to tell us the truth.
May Allah bless you and your family
She's graceful and beautiful
SO happy for her ❤❤❤
so proud of you mashallah!!!!!
Good for here . She looks like a beautiful woman with a scarf on her head. Awsome
i'm very happy for you!.
Even @ Indonesia as the the largest muslim countries in the world it's very2 rare to see hijab reporter. God bless U
MashAAllah
for me, i just met the most beautiful lady ever. she is more prettier with her hijab on, her teeth, her smile.she's got it all
I love America. Please don't depend on the media to formulate your perceptions of muslims. There are a lot of Muslim Americans doing good things in America.
I'm a nurse student and a lot of patients asked me why I wear hijab? And they even told me that I should quit it....
be strong sister, keep istiqoma
Jimmy # it doesn’t matter as long as she is wearing in a modest way who even care if it’s a hijab or a scarf or !!!
Masha allah
It's a scarf not a hijab.
If she is wearing a bikini and covering her head is it still hijab? Hijab means covering it's not just the hair.
@@AbuRobot well said
Her smile 😍😍 4:42
Good job sister,that's what we have to do keep,going for your goals &at last we shall do it, noreatreat,norsurender. We are honest and peaceful Muslims so why do people don't understand our ways. Anyway good luck 4 future sister &your family 2.
MashaAllah
Islam is true.Only one religion without picture of god.other religions has god's image. That the image of living things as god.only one religion, Islam predict the coming events in the world till end of the world.Any one can say the past. But prediction of future is the courage and that is the symbol of true.
She is pretty and smart and fighter and loyal to her cultural and believe congratulate her wish her the best
Alhamdhulillah
MASHA Allah
I was expecting different comment these comments are so wholesome I love it.
I think hijabi women are following mother Mary, and nuns what's wrong?
We sure are!! And very proud of it
*As a Jew, I support any religious garments.*
She is beatiful. ماشاء اله
So radiant, so smiling, so proud of being Moslem, it is easy to see that she is very happy for it. May Allah protect you and help you remain steadfast on His Right Path, ameen
You go girl
It’s a scarf bigoted people!! Mary mother of Jesus (peace be upon them) wore a scarf in modesty...what’s wrong with that? She’s intelligent, articulate, knowledgeable and she should be acknowledged for her talent, not her religious beliefs or for her modest way of dressing. Allah keep her blessed and safe and successful. Oh, yeah, she’s also an American.
she is so beautiful
@@zamzammrfixit3113 ?
What?!????
Can you explain to me what u just said?!
@@zamzammrfixit3113 say that again please...
@@zamzammrfixit3113 im confused ..
Our lovely tahera Rheman Allah love you. I proud this girl
Lete clarify: Its Islam what tells women that its better to not go out of their home. If she wants to do any job there are some conditions
1. She should cover herself properly
2. She should not work at a place where there are opposite genders
3. She should not do the work what is haram and against islamic law. She should not do modeling,singing, dancing ,photograph related jobs which can show her or expose her , media and any kind of work which is AGAINST WOMEN'S INSTINCTS.
4. Whatever job she does, she should be focused in familly. If should do job only when she could handle familly properly and handle all household work properly.
I wonder if she has the permission to work as a tv reporter.....
It make me sick in my stomach to see how shallow American are or what media and culture portrait.
Hira are a very good muslim.i love my sister
Dear I don't have any word what should I say about your personality mashaallah may Allah keep you off any bad omen! May Allah you live long!
i have never heard “this christian-american, or this jewish-american, or buddhist-american woman ..... etc, etc”. the title suggests that a dividing line does exist.
Bravo ! Congratulations for you.I wish you all the best and good luck 🕊️🍀👏👏
She doesn't wear hijab. She wear only headscarf that's only a part of hijab
Public Demand.... Mashallah subhanallah..... Allah Bless Her...
May Allah be with all Muslims😌
She was the Pioneer.. ❤️
Megyn Kelly yeah.......not buying this new character. u been justifying hating Muslims/Muslimate for soo long this is just joke interview....
Go sister.
All the best sister..... Love from india
Go fight for it girl. We love you.
i am a mauritian and i proud with you sister

In the end , it's usefull to remember that there are good and bad people in all communities , and not to sweep one racial/religious group with one brush .
Good for her

So Megyn Kelly has changed from Islam hater Fox News to Muslim friendly? Nice!
Have no problem with hijab as many mentioned she is very beautiful as well as humble.I wish non Muslims have the same chance in a Islam country.possible ? Don't think so.only in America .Greatest country in the world period
Many of us are against the religious extremism.
Alhamdulillah. Its simply more than huge.

Hijab sanctifies and honors women to any handsome man. Hijab is not a problem, the problem is to differentiate.

It's amazing to see a Muslim woman with headscarf as tv reporter
salma siddiq Are these Michigan Muslims? The Michigan Muslims are progressive and have been in Michigan since 1930’s. Boxer Ali from Michigan was well liked as was the Arab DJ Casey Kasem. Melcome X is also from Michigan and a famous peaceful activist
all other news outlets: - oh we will support her- as long as she's not on OUR channel, as long as WE don't have to hire her.. because we certainly weren't jumping at the opportunity to give her this huge accomplishment you congratulate her on. they are all happy to talk about it- as long as she's at a distance, working elsewhere.
Congratulations.
