@Beholdthehandbeholdthenail are you dumb? Which non Muslim guy in America is gonna wear a thobe 😂😂😂 bro is just mad that Islam is still gonna become biggest religion in the world
@@boogus1670 forced conversions, killing of apostates, you get disowned or killed if you marry out of muslimhood and especially fastest growing in prisons… all that is completely something I want nothing to do with..
@@dubrootz209 there are no forced conversions, idk why people like you keep trying to bring this argument up when there is a literal verse that tells us there is no compulsion in religion. Apostates are only killed if they begin to spread corruption among the community, so yeah, please base your research on something that’s actually non biased. And men can marry any woman amongst the three abrahamic faiths as long as they are pious, woman cannot because men are far different than a woman and idk who told you about killings but I’m guessing you’re talking about honor killings which have no place in Islam but instead is cultural. Yes, Islam is the fastest growing religion in prisons because in prison people find out about themselves and the truth lol I have a friend who’s uncle reverted to Islam in prison
How could it perfect when she cant even evolve in this century and her mentality still in the 7th century to slave her unfortunately...Why this people have to migrate to non Islamic countries where they love their Islamic ideology where there are so many Islamic countries that they can live happily as they would love to cover up themselves
Yes that is just honest facts, well said. It doesn’t give islam an unfortunate image wearing hijab or Niqab! It’s a declaration of faith and a manifestation of your submission of the connection with our lord.
I'm an athiest and I had a friend at Uni who wore the Niquab. It was never a barrier to our friendship, neither were our stances on religion. She completely put up with me asking stupid questions about the niquab and was generous enough to share her story of adopting the niquab with me (her mother doesn't wear one, she spoke to other niquab wearers about their experiences and made her own decision). She was a sweet person, and I learnt to read her emotion from her eyes, the veil wasn't a barrier
three different women who practice their spirituality to God in different ways. I'm Christian and honestly, it does not bother me that they cover up. The only issue I can think of is that I would not be able to identify them if they did wrong to me. And let's not pretend that being covered means they are incapable of doing wrong. We are all a working progress, covered or uncovered.
Actually, covering with a veil is not as necessary as a hijab cuz it's a choice. But just like hijab, there will be situations where u actually hv to uncover ur veil. for example, face identification when u r going through the process such as going overseas, u hv to show ur face to the officer who checked your passport. Even in the Quran hv mention it. And if u actually bump into someone that wear veil like a car accident, just ask for her id and take a pic of it also the car no plate n bring it to the court, just show it to the judges n she will hv to show her face if it is needed. So I dont really see much prob for it. (yes, the woman's id will hv her own face n it is not covered cuz like I said in various situations u hv to show ur face) hope it clear up ur questions
As Muslim if i am in non Muslim country i will object on two of then one without scarf and one with face cover . The one with face cover is increasing (sorry i don't have much knowledge of depth English) the gape in between Muslims and non Muslims and the one without scarf making no difference but the third one with scarf look exactly as Muslim model . I object to that lady covering full face that she should change to Islamic country since religion matters to her so much that she looks creature from other world in between the population. Islam doesnt teaches such things she is provoking others to object on her so she doesn't represent Islam neither the one without scarf .
personally, i wear what ever blends in. if I'm in the middle east I'll wear all black and wear the niqab, but when i go back to the states ill switch to wearing subtle colors and just a scarf and abaya. basically, whatever wont cause much attention. which is one of the main reasons we're supposed to cover up.
@Beholdthehandbeholdthenail First of all Allah can understand all luanguege it is he how have teached us all launguege. He is the only god the first with no begining and the last with no ending. Just because Allah's last profet was from arabia and he spoke arabic that's why everything is in arabic. Do you think he will speak English or other languege. Allah explian why the quran is in arabic. He says "indeed we have sent down the quran in arabic so you may understand" ( Quran 12:2 ) and that make sens. Because the people that the prophet came to warn was arabic speakimg people. Allah says in other vers " We have not sent a messenger except in the languege of his people to clarify (the messege) for them. The Allah leaves whoever he wills to stray and guides whoever he wills. He is all Almighty and All-Wise. ( Qran 14:4 ) Allah is the most wise it is he who created everything and he nows the best so who are we to say something agianst his decisions.
I like the hijab and niqab. Modesty is a personal expression of faith. I'm in the West. I dress modestly and have worn a scarf on and off for years. There have been many times when I would have preferred the niqab. For me it's because I'd like to have a bit more comfort zone outside the home. We do talk on the phone, chat, text and email countless times each day without people needing to see our face. So I really don't understand why people fuss about the niqab so much.
Couldn't be more proud of my two sisters! They're intelligent and devout, may Allaah protect them and strengthen them and guide the third and her likes
Sorry, there is no Allah, or "god" of any kind, it's all man made nonsense because we're afraid of the dark, afraid to die. Free yourself, think for yourself, more truth, beauty and happiness awaits you.
as a non Muslim i found this video very informative and helped me understand why Muslim women wear hijab,niqab and other head coverings i just hope that other people will learn to understand this as well because i find it fascinating
I find it to be ironic people question muslimahs of why they wear hijab but never question catholic or jews as to why they cover smh. I know why though
The non hijabis who say " I know I should, I just find it difficult " respect goes to them and may Allah give them strength to wear it. To those who say "it doesn't say in the Qur'an to wear it", sister, you're just following your desires and deceiving people, or you yourself have been deceived, and may Allah guide you. There is plenty of evidence of it being mandatory and 0 of it being not.
Ledia Didn't your god claim that his words are SO CLEAR, COMPLETE AND FINISHED You have 114 chapters in the quran. But it is so bad and incoherent that you have over 60000 hadiths to explain these 114 chapters of the quran. But because the hadiths are so incoherent, you have 6 million muslim scholars, imams and dawahgandists over the past 1400 years telling you what the 114 chapters and 60000 Hadiths actually mean. Then add the 90% of Muslims who can't ACTUALLY understand Arabic, never ACTUALLY read the quran and therefore have to ACTUALLY just follow what they are told by there Deen, Hikmah and Umah interpreted by the 6 million muslim scholars, imams and dawahgandists. This Islamic confusion of the 21st Century is the mess
@@yemi3266you lack understanding. It's not 600 AD anymore. Windwind said it rather well. I have read the Quran in English and it is confusing. I read the Bible, old and new testaments, in English and it too can be confusing. How many religious scholars does it take to explain both books? Way too many many. I started reading the Hadiths just to try to understand the religion more and I am now entirely sick of reading them. Secular laws that apply to all people regardless of religion are what I follow and obey.
I think women should be able to whatever they like. whether that's a mini skirt or niqab. I don't see how people can judge a woman wearing niqab but not judge a woman showing almost everything! it particularly amazes me when feminists are judgemental and nasty towards women in hijab or niqab, but want to be able to show off their cleavage and backside to world. To me, part of being a progressive society is to accept people for wearing whatever they want to wear, in whatever style or trend they wish.
Hey Gothmummi! I watch your videos often and I really like them :) I have considered wearing the niqab but I don't judge my non Muslim (or even Muslim) friends on what they wear. Allah (swt) or Deity (to keep it general) is the final Judge. We should not judge others; that is not our place.
+Bisma L thank you lovely x I totally agree, I'd like to experience the niqab. I don't know why, I think it'd because I want to see how it feels to both invisible and the most visible at the same time x
Much love for the lady wearing the Niqab. She should not have to try and explain herself to others to understand her faith spiritually. She is beautiful, Mash'Allah.
Jesus loves you, He is the one and only Son of God. Jesus said: "For I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father but through me."
As a hijabi wearing the hijab is a sign of Muslim pride. When I see another hijabi we instantly have a connection because we understand each others struggles being a Muslim hijabi in America or the western world. The hijab is also a sign of self respect. I personally do not think that showing your beauty to the world is necessary. I will show what I want to show to whomever I want. I don't care if you wear a bikini or wear the niqqab. That is your choice and no one elses. Although I do not agree that you should change or try to fit in just to make other people pleased that you look like them. The only person that you should please is God the Almighty.
***** Its nice to know that there is a balance between assholes(you) and sensible people, who do not think that a person's choice of clothing defines who a person is. If that is you way of thinking I am terribly sorry for whoever raised you in such an inhumane manner. Hope your day went well.
+MENCADO its simple by wearing that crap your cutting yourself off from public. what happens if you go into a bank. what is the worst that will happen if you dont wear it NOTHING fact is your all brainwashed and allow men to treat you badly. try living life freely without wearing that shit saying crap from ur koran its fake by making these choice you and only you make these choices to cut yourself off from public.
+allahloves mycock Our God is something far greater than you think, far greater than you and me. He is the one and only, the beginning and the end. What you are doing is like throwing a stone on the moon, it won't change anything, the stone will just come falling back on your head. Therefore I think it is better you keep your opinions to yourself because trust me, its not gonna change a thing, its not gonna make us believe any less, in fact us as muslims, it is these type of comments what makes our belief stronger. So go head reply, go on, its not gonna make a difference.
While I believe women have the right to choose what they wear (anything from nudism to a burqa), the veil is in fact a barrier to communication, just for the sole reason that only 7% of communication is through words. The rest is facial expression and body language, neither of which can be clearly seen in a niqab/burqa.
I don't have anything against Muslim women wearing a hijab, but my personal opinion is that a niqab is a little bit too much. Your face is like one of your identifications and if you choose to wear a niqab you have to expect people to get scared and keep themselves away from you and wonder what you're really up to. I'm not saying it's because you're a Muslim, no, just because you cover almost your entire face and that scares people off. If I would wear a mask or something like that and walk around in public people would be scared of me to and wonder what I'm up to, probably if the police saw me they would even ask me to take it off. Yes I know these women who wears niqab wears them for a religious purpose but that isn't a excuse, it's fine to just wear a hijab, then you're at least still showing your face. If you want to cover your hair you know what fine, that's totally up to you. Also if a woman wearing niqab and commits a crime even if it's recorded on camera they can't find out who she is, it's like someone robbing a bank with a mask on. So it's about security for everyone in our society as well. Also I think a niqab can scare people of because it's often associated with the extreme Islam. Here in Europe they are staring to forbid wearing niqab in public places, for example a area in Italy has already forbidden it and there are more countries here to do it, and I think it's more than right. No, it wouldn't be right at all to forbid hijab, but niqab? Yes.
***** see,Non Hijab Muslims are Completely in wrong path,but i can't judge them because maybe Allah will Guide Them Tomarrow,So Im saying That Muslims who (both men and women) don't wear hijab are In wrong path but Only Allah knows when they'll change,we have no rights to judge them but we have rights to tell what is wrong and right! Hijab Is For both Men and Women,Not for women only, Hijab For Mens are: Cap-(For head cover) Long Sleeve Jubbah-(For Hands and legs cover) Beard-(Its Not Part of hijab But Rasulullah SAW Said its a Part of Faith) Hijab For Womens are: Long sleeve or anything which won't show Hands and Legs-(suggestion is Abaya,) Hijab(its not Means Hijab is word for head cover only,Its a Name of type Head cover,not Fashion) Try Not To change Islam for this 21st Century,try to change yourselves In this 21st century For Islam. The Muslim who Change Islam in their Lifestyle Is Not a Muslim,The Muslim Who Change his Lifestyle For Islam Is A Real Muslim.
+Rebecka Pedersen I agree. By claiming the veil is mandatory I should also be able to wear a spiderman or batman mask all day long and hide my identity. Its ridiculous in the work place. We all give up our identities to surveillance systems in malls etc. But these veiled ladies get a free pass? It's not right to have someone leering at you through a mask yet you can't even recognize their face. It's simply a refusal to integrate. There's a lot of denial here.
Khadija Chabou Nope. Facial Detection can still work on those. And I don't support it either way. When I see someone in a hood and sunglasses I do get suspicious. And its irritating when veiled muslim women feel they can freely look upon us while we wouldn't even be able to recognize any of them the next day. It is rude in our culture. Especially in a work situation were transparency and communication is important. If you don't respect western culture then you can go somewhere else. We would be treated the same in an Islamic country. Or we would be punished outright.

The human brain is designed to perceive and recognize faces. It's one of the first things a newborn child will do as it develops. There have been a remarkable number of studies and articles written about how small children recognize faces and it allows them to make sense of the world. The psychology behind it continues into adulthood. It's part of the reason so many people claim to see faces in things where there are no faces. Clouds have faces, abstract paintings have faces, the swirl in that marble floor tile may have have faces. These are all subtle tricks played by our minds because that's just what the human brain does. It recognizes patterns, and one of the earliest patterns we learn to recognize is the basic recognition of a human being by looking at their faces. So when the Niqab-wearing woman in this video says "I don't understand how just because I've covered my face, that makes it harder for others to respect me and treat me like a human being..." well, she's kind of bringing it on herself. She's completely dehumanizing herself because she's removing the ability for others to recognize her as a human being using the most easily recognizable aspect... her face.
Couldn't agree with you more. I don't mind them covering their hair but the face. There isn't any form of communication whatever with someone you can't see. They can never justify that. I'm sorry.
+Kevin Walter Very well said. She seems intelligent, but how can it escape her attention that she is cutting off body language which is so important in communication. She is like someone saying, "I will not talk with you face to face, but only by telephone or over the internet." I consider that rude and disrespectful.
+Kevin Walter People can recognise a niqabi with just their eyes and by the way they talk and walk and the way they sound. I wear niqab and people I interact with often do recognise me. In fact if I go without my niqab in front of people who recognise me in niqab, they wouldn't recognise me by my face. They would only recognise me in niqab. Covering face does make other people uncomfortable and other women wearing short dresses makes me and many other people I know uncomfortable but I don't go around saying to those other women that don't wear short dresses it makes me uncomfortable. Of course they would get offended if I say that and of course I have no right to dictate them what they should wear and not wear for my own comfort. The same way I don't want other people telling me what to wear and not to wear. It's my choice. I will do what I want to do, I will wear what I want to wear, either if other people are not comfortable around me. It's their problem that they are judging me not mine. I'm speaking on behalf of the women who are bullied because of wearing niqab. To be honest not all Muslims believe Niqab is compulsory. Either Muslims take the benefit of the doubt and not wear niqab or they wear niqab so that even if it is not compulsory they will get more good deeds. I hope you understand my point. Stay Blessed.

I took my Shahada today. I wear the hijab as a reminder to myself to be the best woman-the best MUSLIM- I can be, to represent to others what I believe, and because I believe Allah is proud of modest women. Covering oneself, whether it be the face, the hair,or the whole body is not dont to make things easier on men. When a woman covers her face it forces people to listen to her VOICE..
I learn from these women one day i was sitting in a doctor office and i was sitting across a young Muslim women with the veil she was very polite we had a good conversation.
@@EUGEN093 why do men have to come in every equation and question related to women? Why are these ppl so obsessed with men? Can't even understand a single matter without dragging and bringing men into it. Why dont kids have to wear that? Why dont animals do that? Why dont birds do that? Open up!
Regarding the Niqāb: "I don't think it creates any barriers" says the young female wearing the Niqāb. I find it so strange that it is [literally] a barrier, however she does not think it is.

@@stanfrollpans1569 Part of communication is facial expression, a smile, a frown, a raised brow. Not just vowels and consonants and tones. So there is obviously less clarity in communication. Many who prefer women to hide their faces insist women who don't are less, especially less moral, showing a twisted arrogance, giving men full rein to brutally immoral behavior they may blame on their victims while abdicating all semblance of self control or propriety. In an age of security cameras, masks, balaclavas, niqabs, scarves wrapped over faces are all concerns. I cannot walk into my credit union on the coldest day with a hood pulled forward,it must be pushed back or even lowered and scarves lowered or removed, for everyone's safety. This would apply to stores, courtrooms, and politicians' offices. I do not believe a 20 year old woman is too stupid to realize this, especially in a time of religious terrorism.
eract hiyuna No doubt. A true desert rose, beautiful, humble and pure. How could any man control himself in her presence with only her craftily positioned flour bag as protection from instant rape. True, it can get a bit stuffy on hot days but in her modesty she understands it's her destiny. In His wisdom Allah has a special place in heaven for those with bags over their heads. After all it's for her own good; who is she to argue? And the fortunate man her husband, what joy - as at the end of each hard day he tenderly slips her bag off .... What a woman!
MashAllah JazakAllah to the sister with niqab you have answered her the best way anyone would do May Allah bless you and May we meet in jannatul firdous Ameen
I am college student who works in a warehouse on the side and I can personally say that when everyone wears the same clothes it changes how you relate to them. This is the reason why Buddhists are all shaved and wear the same clothes whether man or woman. I am also a western man and I personally observe in myself the objectification of woman. This whole process happens unconsciously and I try to focus on it and change it whenever it happens. But it is a lot harder to not objectify a woman when she is dressed in a manner that sends certain signals in a mans brain. It has nothing to do with self control of the man, this is something that is almost evolutionary. I meditate and so I am someone who is experienced in focusing on certain perceptions and rectifying them when they are not inline with the truth but even I am not immune against this objectification. It's something most people don't even see in themselves. It is politically correct to say that you do not objectify woman so we tell ourselves "we do not objectify woman" but in fact this happens on a very subtle level. That's why one has to concentrate. The way I stumbled upon this knowledge that I was objectifying woman started of when I asked the question why I feared certain woman. (usually attractive woman). And I began to think about this question and my fear stemmed purely from the physical, I was intimidated by it, the girl could be an amazing girl but I would not see her personality at all. I had a much easier time approaching more "conservative" woman because when I looked at them, instead of immediately having something triggered in me that would objectify them I see them as human beings. This is another thing about objectification, when a beautiful girl enters somewhere, I literally forget that she is human being, therefore I do not interact with her as I should. One way to infuse humanness in my perception of scantly clad woman was to imagine them aging and loosing all their physical attractive parts. This visualization would bring me back to reality so to speak. I would then be able to see her humanness. I also live in European country with many muslim woman so when I was meditating while sitting on the metro and thinking about all of this I suddenly understood the whole Hijab Niqab thing. Its origins came from this same battle that I was fighting within myself everyday. The more modern our societies have become the more people wanted to make themselves unique from the rest, and in the process we forget that we are actually all the same no matter how much make-up we wear or how our chest looks. This is a deep spiritual battle and I'm on the side of Islam on this, I totally understand them. But on another level this veiling can have a bad effect on the harmony in non arabic communities as it does put more barriers up and that is never a good thing. These barriers only exist when it happens in the west in the arabic worlds this is probably normal. The niqab can also act as something objectifying, again perhaps this is only in the psyche of a western person like myself, but If I see a woman in niqab on the streets just as the scantly clad woman I do not see her humanness. Its strange.
***** You're right, it never was a religious custom. It was worn to protect themselves from their harsh desert environment. Men also wore similar garbs. 24.media.tumblr.com/d86759c04220702b67edf01da6a010f4/tumblr_mspaypfayn1shotbuo1_1280.jpg
Warehouse worker? You should be a scholar!! "The more modern our societies have become the more people wanted to make themselves unique from the rest, and in the process we forget that we are actually all the same no matter how much make-up we wear or how our chest looks." I think you've got it all figured out!
The fact that there are many women in the West who are scantily clad does not mean all women should wear burlap sacks. There is a middle line where a woman can be dressed normally and not be improper or immodest and there is no need for us to completely disappear under a sheet for us to be considered modestly clad.
***** sorry man , but there is Quranic basis for wearing the niqab the idea of niqab is to hide their beauty to calm down the desire of men who are not releated to them( not a brother or a husbend) make less chance of cheating . for me i see it like a proof of faithfull woman to her husband and we are in 2014 make up and fashion are expensive this is the economic sidde of it loool
***** But the Qur'an, just like any other book read by anyone, is open to personal interpretation. If a Muslim woman feels the desire to wear niqab, then she should be allowed. It is freedom of expression.
I don't understand why everyone has a problem with women wearing hijab. Everyone has their own body and can do whatever they want with it. If a women chooses to wear a mini skirt and a crop top, then so be it. If she chooses to wear a long skirt and a long sleeve shirt then SO BE IT. ITS HER BODY. this is how society is superficial, because everyone is in women's business about what they should wear. Why can't women just choose for themselves what they want to wear on their OWN BODY? it's that simple!
I think it's because people have a problem with Islam itself.....and the way it's conducive to generating anti-Western terrorist radical groups. People are uncomfortable. It's fear. A feeling of terror. No one feels that way about nuns because modern Christianity hasn't organized bombings of buildings or threatened murder of people who joke about Jesus on a cartoon strip.
Chuck Norris You seem to be saying random words. I can do whatever I want with my body. It's my body and just because I choose not to show it to everyone, doesn't mean I have been forced to cover my body. And I don't know what you're blabbering about gays and the beach. you make no sense. My religion doesn't condemn killing, as opposite as the media may portray it. And I have a bunch of gay friends.. so I'd suggest you stop talking now.
Chuck Norris I suggest you seriously stop talking. You don't know anything about my religion aside from the lies media shows to you. If you really want to have this conversation, go ahead and study my religion first then come back and claim I can't do anything. Even if I wasn't Muslim, I wouldn't want to go around walking half naked just for the satisfaction of men.
etattainments Nobody wants to go around walking half naked just for the satisfaction of men, other than sluts. The rest of us normal people do it at the beach because it's summer and we want to swim and feel the breeze on our skin. Do you seriously believe that western women wear less clothing because they do it just for men? in our post-feminist society? For one, we are way more modest than many tribal people in Africa or the Amazon. It's frankly offensive that you people always link clothing with sex. What's with the obsession?
I think you conflated two different issues here: without the hijab people can judge a woman based on her looks (bodily features, hair, skin etc.)- the way she, as an individual, looks. With the hijab however these things are not apparent anymore: so all that remains for people to judge with regards to her appearance is her dress. It is a different type of judgement. The first thing is to be judged based on how you as a person look with your unique features. The seccond thing is to be judged because people don't like the way you dress: in that case they either don't like Islam, this concept of modesty etc. Whatever their opinion might be.
@@Whitefullmoon i think it is FAR WORSE getting judged for a bad choice of doing hijab modesty (covering up) as a virtue tells the observer the person is an IDIOT. Such hijabi people will be considered STUPID by most scientific / philosophical minds. Very much defeats the said purpose the lady was mentioning. In civilized society, hijab does not get you respect, nor can you avoid being judged for your looks. My point stands...
actually one should look like the society he/she live in . it looks odd if u live in western world . more over if u r in a public relations job how would it look .
teddytalesable Lenen cupboards are inanimate, thus can't take back or respond to your commetns. However, a woman in niqab is A LIVING HUMAN BEING BUT SHE IS WEARING MORE CLOTHES THAN THE WALKING MASTERBATION FANTASIES AS PORTRAYED IN THE MEDIA. Who am i talking about, the naive and ignorant western women, who think nudity liberates them while at the same time porn industry releshing this cultural movement. They are not being liberated but objectified to the point i have to see a nude women to sell corn flakes, coffee, toilet paper, even chocolates!!! So who are these women following? Women who are not qualified to be role models because they are sold by corporate industry and even possibly sleeping with these executives to be promoted. (Lady Gaga, Madonna, Snooki, Britney Speers, Paris Hilton, Lil Kim, Foxy Brown, Nikki Minaj, Tyra Banks, etc).
Norm Ball If you are saying body language is 70% percent of communication are you implying that the women who have been veiled before Islam, Virgin Mary, Jewish Women, nuns, etc COULD NOT BE UNDERSTOOD? Furthermore, you claim that taking to a woman wearing a burqa or niqab is like talking to a cupboard, SO WHAT HAPPEN WHEN THE WOMAN VEILED IN THIS VIDEO IS SPEAKING? YOUR EARS WENT DEFT? If you can hear her enough to make a comment should must have made logical and complete thoughts rather you agree with her or not. Your comments are on this channel! Now put a cupboard in this equation. If you wanted see a cupboard, you should go to a channel with advertisements from Jennifer Convertables, or Raymour and Flanagan, etc. You would not hear any lamps, sofas for desk speaking. If you get a voice over its NOT THE FURNITURE!!! ITS A SALESMAN! As for the women in the veil in this video, you are HEARING HER SPEAK, VEILED WOMEN ARE NOT FURNITURE!! IF YOU ARE SAYING THEY HAVE TO BE NAKED FOR YOU TO SPEAK TO THEM THEN YOU HAVE A REAL PROBLEM.
moorejr1400 No, what I'm saying is body language is 70% of communication. The face movements communicating the majority of feelings. What do a smile mean if you can't see it. Women wearing a veiled is as bad as a woman in a porn film, gasp you say, how can it be the same, because men want it. Ah but it's a woman's choice to wear a veil, okay and some women like making porn. Me, I would rather see the saleman's face, but that's just me. Okay maybe it was wrong saying linen cupboard but they may as well be talking from behind the door of the cupboard.
It's normal though. If someone chooses to leave their home country for another place they think is better, then they have to respect that place and respect its cultures and rules. If you come from a islamic country to a Christian country, then do the bare minimum to fit with the Christians. I'm not saying you have to go to church, but if covering your face entirely is not generally acceptable for those people, let go of the face veil.
If a man can control himself, he will do it anyway whether woman is covered or not. it's not about tempting with your beauty, it's all about self-control.
How these women can describe seeing the expressions of a person's face as not being part of communication is beyond my comprehension. We read people through their facial expressions and not to have that is a barrier. Do these women not wish to communicate with the outside world? Then if covering your face is good why should it just be women that do it and not men?
Damn it man. Just let people cover up however they friking want. We might as well ban turbans for Sikhs if we’re going to ban Muslim women wearing niqab. Let people wear what they want for gods sake. Muslim women want to be covered to please the creator. As a matter of fact some Christian women wear scarfs and there entire body. Just let them wear what the6 want.
When asked the question of why don't men have to cover their faces. She completely avoided the question and related it back again to women, but then knowing that she was totally avoiding the question, at the end she says: "Men have their own dress code, they can't just walk around wearing what they want". Where is the equality then if men wish wear one? when before that spoken line she says. "then if people differ on what that modesty is, i think thats totally fine". So in one line you say it's totally fine, and in the next line you say there are dress codes to abide by, What complete BS and hypocrite.
They're clearly brainwashed, otherwise islam does not support an equal society, or therefore it could be argued that both men and women should be allowed to wear these Niqab's, which are quite similar to balaclavas.
@@alibabashero that's not correct. Plus the niqab isn't written in the Quran. It's just an extra step some woman take and some support. It started of as a way to protect women from rich families from rape, in preislamic Arabia
Presenting your personality in a niquab? You have chosen not to relate to others as a human being! By covering your face another human being can not tell wether you are smiling or angry?
***** Some of these muslims don't have a voice tho and they are forced to wear the niqab. And by personal identity I mean the features of the face that make people look different...... the religion tells them to cover this up= stripping away personal identity etc
And I don't give a dame fuck that you may be insulted by my opinion that you are a complete idiot. Shame on you for allowing yourself to "swallow the Kool-Aid" like that! Can't you think for yourself? I guess not. Islam is just as stupid as any other supernatural belief, and you're a fool to allow yourself to be manipulated like that. Or maybe you're so insecure that you need to hide.
***** Men and women are definitely not equal or alike in Islam, you've got that totally wrong! There are a lot of women out there that are forced to wear them. And what you said about men working......that's not the reason why women have to cover their faces and men don't. So, the only way for men to 'control' themselves is for the women to cover her face!? Absolute rubbish...... And no, nobody should be judged just on how they look or how their face is, BUT by covering women like that it just shows how their personal identity and a part of what makes them different from each other is stripped away from them. And if muslim men can't control themselves when they see the full face of a woman, then there's something wrong right there!
Wake Up CAM S The most rapist country in the world in Christian Country. 1- USA In 1990 as per FBI 1756/day In 1996 as per FBI 2713/day The unreported figures are much more. These are facts.
azeem malik Rape is a global issue overall. Rape in MUSLIM COUNTRIES are not Widely RECORDED AS women are at risk of being killed if they report it. However in the US they are encouraged to report it. Furthermore, there are no rape statistics for the middle east because they don't carry it out. You think that means that actual rape culture isn't alive and well there? hmm? Also in other muslim countries such as Afghanistan......... FACT: Rape in Afghanistan in practice is very rarely reported, because of the immense risks that women face if they report it. Rape victims in the country face a double risk of being subjected to violence: on one hand they can become victims of honor killings perpetrated by their families, and on the other hand they can be victimized by the laws of the country: they can be charged with adultery, a crime that can be punishable by death. Furthermore, they can be forced by their families to marry their rapist. In 2011, Afghanistan made international news in regard to the story of a woman who was raped by a man, jailed for adultery, gave birth to a child in jail, and was then subsequently pardoned by president Hamid Karzai, and in the end married the man who raped her.[11][12] In 2012, Afghanistan recorded 240 cases of honor killings and 160 cases of rape, but the number for both honor killings and rapes is estimated to be much higher.[13][14] In 2013, in eastern Ghazni, a man attacked a woman and attempted to rape her, and as a result the relatives of the woman killed both the woman and the man in an honor killing.[15] In Afghanistan, crimes such as adultery, rape and trafficking are often conflated with each other,[16] and it is generally not acceptable for a woman and a man to be alone together (unless married or related), and if this happens the response can be very violent: an Afghan medical doctor and his female patient were attacked by an angry mob who threw stones at them after the two were discovered in his private examining room without a chaperon.[17] Recently, the security forces have been also alleged to rape children in the country.[18] Sweden has the highest rape cases in Europe now because of all the muslim immigrants entering the country.During the first half of 2013, more than 1,000 Swedish women reported being raped by Muslim immigrants in the Stockholm; over 300 of those were under the age of 15.
Adam Baum yes u are not... stinking are you... how Islam teaches to be clean and pure.. no religion can ever come to tht position... anyways i respect just your name cause we all are from Him Adam PBUH. But you are mis guided. Learn Islam.
syed siraj No other religion came up with that, because there is no need for a religion to tell people everything. Apparently only muslims need a religion to explain to them how to wash themselves, how to go to a toilet, and which foot enters the bathroom first. How is there any good in that? Cant you think for yourselves?
I like how she brings up the whole phone thing. In my line of work I deal with talking to strangers on the phone, I believe that I cannot be 100% certain of what that person is like without seeing them in person. There were countless times that I would have an idea of what the person would be like based on the phone conversation, but then when I meet them they are not at all what I expected. Tone and choice of words can only get you so far into recognizing the character of someone; when they say you can tell a lot about a person by the way they look at you, it is true.
9:32 Hijab wearer: "If I believe something is right, I'm gonna do it." By your own logic, perhaps you'll see that's why you get those derogatory (or perhaps fearful or distrusting) looks you mentioned earlier. The hijab is a visual sign to all the world that you are a devout Muslim. A sign that if you believe its right, you'll do it. The educated public knows that if you follow the holy texts of Islam, a Muslim believer will not befriend a Kafir (Q 3:28), will seek the free-will submission of the Kafir (Q 9:29), or will just outright kill the Kafir, as dictated by their god (Q 8:12). So you *enjoy* wearing something that shows how believing you are...
Catherine tt Reasons may be similar - but the belief is very different. Just as wearing a star of David means a belief in Judaism.. What you must give context to is "what do you believe" and Muslims believe in abrogation of the Koran, taqiyya, jihad, etc
It's really sad the way that some thinks you can't take a word to judge Islam you have to continue what after it to fully understand the meaning , Quran has many beautiful words and great wisdom islam is against killing all creatures humans and animals Islam has given me a great life that I can only dream of , did you actually know that we are obliged to respect people from all religions before other Muslims , and you people always talk about the hijab why do we have to be judged for the way we dressed nuns cover themselves and nobody ever judged them or said something about that or Islam is always as a discussion martial to you !! I pet that if it was a Christian nun you will go on about how pure and good is she that she is covering her self and devoting herself to God it just #doublestanders and thankfully everyday I discover something that islam has solved for me while others still suffering from islam is pure and right and all love to you because my religion never taught me hate love to all people from all races and believes and I'm proud to be a Muslim .
"There is no compulsion in religion; truly the right way has become clearly distinct from error" Quran 2:256 Which mean that no one has the right to force anyone to Islam , Islam can't be spread by force its a choice , believing is a choice Also Allah does not forbid you from those [infidels] who do not fight you in religion and do not expel you from your homes that you treat them kindly and be upright towards them; for indeed the upright are dear to Allah. [Holy Quran 60:8] Force is only used in war if people start fighting , in Islam we never start war we are not allowed we are only allowed to defense Islam is full of wisdom and love and I don't blame you for all that hate because o know that most of you are brain washed by the media to hate Islam , you don't know Islam so don't come to conclusions thinking you figured every thing out , you need to study Islam to understand it and at last يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَاكُم مِّن ذَكَرٍ وَأُنثَىٰ وَجَعَلْنَاكُمْ شُعُوبًا وَقَبَائِلَ لِتَعَارَفُوا ۚ إِنَّ أَكْرَمَكُمْ عِندَ اللَّهِ أَتْقَاكُمْ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ خَبِيرٌ (13) O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other (not that ye may despise (each other). Verily the most honoured of you in the sight of Allah is (he who is) the most righteous of you. And Allah has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things). Quran 49:13 We are all made to know , respect and love each other so if I'm a Muslim and she wears niqab and he is Christian and she is Jew Aren't we are all human and should love each other and respect each other we all have different believes and different races and different countries and different images but we are all the Same , humans we share the same parents Adam and Eve which makes us family and family loves each other and respect each other and most importantly protect each other so if my Christian or Jewish or Hindu or any belief sister needs Help I'll help her , don't you understand that is what Islam about love and helping others love you all
It's sad how men think they have the right to demand a women to show any part of herself . Just because they feel they are entitled to request it from her.
My opinion on this, as a non-religious, non-Muslim feminist is that every woman can wear whatever SHE wants. If she wants to cover her hair and even her face, it's her freedom. If she doesn't, it's her freedom as well. I'm not bothered by them, even in the "western" world. It's just a piece of cloth. Obviously, if they are being FORCED to wear religious covering, that's a totally different thing.
to me, the niqabi Sheika EL Kathiri is the most beautiful and Allah has blessed her with noor [light] because she is following the highest form of modesty! MashaAllah!
So many women are harassed and raped in spite of dressing modestly in Pakistan, Afghanistan and throughout the middle east. So its of no use in anyway, except to deprive women of their personality and dignity. No look at the verse posted in the description: "Those who harass believing men & believing women unjustifiably shall bear the guilt of slander & a grievous sin. O Prophet! Enjoin your wives, your daughters, & the wives of true believers to DRAW their JILBAB OVER them [when they go out]. That is MORE PROPER, so that they may be DISTINGUISHED & NOT be HARASSED. God is ever forgiving & merciful. If the hypocrites & those who have the ailment [of jealousy] in their hearts & the scandal mongers of Madinah do not desist, We will rouse you against them, & their days in that city will be numbered. Cursed be they; wherever found, they would be seized & put to death. (Qur'an 33:58-61) This is really outrageous, because one again, in this verse, allah dont care about people. Only thing he cares is about believers. Non believers do not matter to this "god". But arent they his creation too? Thats why there is so much struggle with islam in the world, because, in islam, you are of no value if you reject islam. Thats in fact the very same ideology like fascism.
Yeah there is ONE guy, who has created all of the universe. All solar systems, galaxies, galaxy clusters and super galaxy clusters... and he also happens to hate the faces and hair of the females of a certain species of primates. That's so incredibly petty. XD
***** I bet I know more on all of this topics than you or anyone you know. I wrote a paper on neutron stars, I study physics and I became an anti-theist after reading the bible, quran and occupying myself with religion, after growing up a very moderate Christian under apologist theology in church and school.
The woman wearing the hijab without the veil really needs to not talk over the one who isn’t covering the way she did. Religions are interpreted differently, and in this case the only person she’d be hurting is herself (if it is believed to be a sin not covering) but it’s like the girl wearing the hijab just keeps trying to force that she’s right and it doesn’t matter what this other person who was invited to the interview wants to say
I respect these women, each one, for her desire to honor the Almighty by not only her words but further, by her behavior. By seeking to serve the Almighty each one is living a beautiful life, indeed the very best kind of life.
I praise the Almighty, that because of the way He reveals Himself to me, I can see the beauty of a life lived in submission to Him. Thank you, Mr Zoobi for your kind words.
I gained new insight when the women said the hijab allows them to be judged by the sum of their personality not judged by their looks or sexuality as women are in the west.Great interview I am very grateful to these woman participating in this discussion and sharing their culture and faith with us !Thank you
Other people’s discomfort about hijab & niqab or other forms of modesty shouldn’t come at the expense of the modest person’s comfort… asking a person to take off layers to have a conversation feels yucky, have respect
Women are 2nd to men in the Quran! Qur'an 2:223-Your wives are a tilth for you... Qur'an 4:34-Men are in charge of women... Sahih al-Bukhari 2658-The Prophet said: “Isn’t the witness of a woman equal to half of that of a man?...
2. No the quran does not say men are in charge of women. Quran says men are the caretaker of women. He would take care of her financial needs, basic needs(including her security), physical needs, emotional needs and spiritual needs. Allah uses the word "Qayum" and it means to take care of something. In Islam it is only Allah who is in charge of us and considering anyone else other than Allah as you in charge is a major sin. And Allah declares men to take care of women not because they are weaker or something but because they are precious.
3. That's not entirely true cases. In some cases the testimony of women is worth half of the men and in some other cases the testimony of a man is considered to be half of a woman. However these two rules are only applicable for minor issues. For major issues like murder, adultery and others both of their testimonies have equal importance.
As a Christian, I could not care less if a woman covers herself completely. My concern is when the face may be required to be shown for: 1. Identification 2. When in court especially as a defedant, plaintiff, or witness 3. Being questioned by authorities for a case, especially in an interogation By which Muslim women may refuse to do so due to spiritual and modesty reasons. These instances are not about taking away ones modesty nor intends to violate spirituallity, but administering investigation, law, justice, and personal identification. It is undoubtedly abused by some in authority, but it does not give us the right to resist authorities and disregard the laws of the land. If by any chance it become intolerable to live in a certain land even after pleas are made, it will be better and wiser to hold your peace and move to another than force your way in a land that strongly opposes.
I mentioned that before already somewhere else and I want to say it here too. A western woman who is working or travelling to a Islamic country would surely not walk around in micro shorts, heels and a belly free top without a bra. We have to respect their cullture and religion and when they decide to live in a western country, then they shouldn´t expect that we tolerate their dressing style unless they tolerate ours. In turkish schools covering the head is not allowed, but in Germany turkish girls can be seen covered. We tolerate things in our countries that aren´t even allowed in theirs and that is over the limit of religious freedom. If you want to wear a Niqab, Burka, Hijab or whatever, then stay in your country and live your traditions and believs there. We don´t want to see that crap in our streets same as you don´t want to see sexy girls in your streets. I´m not a muslim or Islam hater. But what I realized lately is that Muslims in Western Countries expect or even demand too much. They want to walk around like the modern version of Darth Vaders Storm Troopers, they want a mosque in every bigger City. In France they are blocking entire roads because they have to pray etc. Enough is enough. Do Christians who live in middle eastern countries demand a Catholic Cathedral right in the Center of Teheran, Kabul or Dubai for example? In some countries it is also expected from our woman to be covered up like muslim woman. In muslimic countries we have to respect this and that just to stay out of trouble. Maybe we should do the same thing. By law every muslima is forced to wear normal dresses like our woman do and then we will see how many are left in our countries.
I think this is the single best response to the entire debate over niqabs, or anything. This is a part of our culture. To Westerners, only villains and cowards wear masks. To us, the only time a brave, honest can wear a mask is for protection in deadly combat. Westerners don't like masks, no matter what the clever and reasonable arguments are about "religious freedom". the niqab is a mask, and it creeps us out. Our house: our rules.
Robab Masood Freedom of Religion? I might believe in that if I see a Catholic Cathedral right in the Center of Teheran. Don´t come up with such a BS please. You find Mosques all over Europe in almost every City. How about Christian Churches in the Middle East? Freedom of Religion means that you are allowed to believe in whatever you want. But that doesn´t mean that you have to walk around like Alien Storm troopers in our Cities, occupy entire City areas and send Muslim Patrols out. That´s where the freedom ends.
***** First of all I didn´t reply to you. I replied to Robab Masood who is telling me something about freedom of religion (which they demand in our countries) but doesn´t exist in theirs. I don´t go to their places because I don´t like it and if they dont like our culture and adapt and respect it, then they can go back where they came from and happily live their Islamic life there. That simple. And dont call me a bigot. I have my opinion and you have yours. But if you ask me, WESTERN Countries are still ruled by WESTERN people. I´m just sick of this demanding all the time. We want a Mosque here and there. We want our Sharia law. We want this and that. And then what? Sending out Muslim Patrols and tell WESTERN People in their own country and City that they have to get out because it´s Muslim Area? You do that in one of their countries and they execute you in public. Wake up Girl!
***** You can call me a Bigot as much as you like Emily. That doesn´t bother me at all. And I also don´t care where you are born and where you grew up. Australia is and stays a Christian Country. In a Muslim Country they are so "tolerant" that they wouldn´t even accept you there because for them, you are more Australian than Muslima. You are right. Western Countries don´t have Religious laws. And that´s why we also don´t need or want yours. The religious freedom you mention here is exactly the problem I´m talking about. YOU follow a Religion in a Country that tolerates your Religion, your believe and doesn´t limit you in Buildings and / or food to practice your Religion. But YOUR Religion in Islamic Countries does not give the same freedom to others. No matter which Country that is. And I didt say that all these Countries are in the Middle East. I don´t hate the Islam itself. They can do whatever they want as long as don´t try to influence my own culture, life or believe, and that´s the point here. How far do you want to go with your freedom of Religion if we have to live with Moslem Patrols in our own Cities already who don´t allow us to enter "their Area"? There is no such thing as "their Area" Got it now? And if you are more attached to your Religion than the Culture of your Country Australia, the Country that ALLOWS you to follow a Religion that praises the Jihad against non Muslims, then you are in the wrong place. That simple. I can promise you that I would find more people in Australia that agree with me than with your point of few.
In college there was this girl that came up to me wearing a niqab, we had small talk and I realized that talking to someone wearing a niqab is such a diffrent experience then talking to someone without. Its human nature to judge others especially about their physical looks, but with this girl I couldn't judge her based on that, just simply on what she was saying, people who are considered physically beautiful usually are the ones who get ahead in life but if everyone wore a niqab we'd all have to rely on our personalities and hard work.
Rehanah Hasnain Its NOT about your body being naked. Its about showing your face...nonverbal communication. Well she could stay with a computer for 8 hours and work that way. Dont have to have one specific job :)
7:48 we don't cover ourselves to "hide" parts of us that are not for "public consumption", but rather, we began to clothe ourselves so we wouldn't be cold, to externally help regulate our body temperature. To respond to the lady wearing the niqab, who kept emphasizing that it does not matter if a vail covers her face, she is still a human being; you may be a human being underneath the vail, but when I look at her she does not resemble a human. The only thing human about her are her eyes, so I believe the VAIL is dehumanizing, she resembles more a robot, that a living being. 9:13 to believe, that prejudice on the basis of how you look, are non existent, is just plain stupid. We all make prejudice on the basis of how a person looks, it's the first impression a person gives off with his appearance. p.s. I'm not a native speaker
You don't know, maybe he's an atheist, Tamy. So your "I'm rubber & you're glue" argument doesn't affect him -- can't you think up anything more sophisticated than a child's "I'm rubber, you're glue" style argument? Or is the "cousin marriage" (inbreeding) in Islam affecting your family: google.com/search?q=cousin+Marriage+Islam+GENETIC+DAMAGE *
I love hijab, I used to wear it and then I lose my way and took it off... I am so excited to start wearing it again. However I do not think I am better than anyone else especially other Muslim women just because I wear hijab. I think hijab is better but like the Pakistani woman said the Quran doesn't directly tell you to wear it. I don't think niqab is necessary but I also don't have any problem with women who choose to wear it. I admire them. I admire women who wear hijab and I admire women who don't! But the woman in hijab in this video seems very judgmental and it very rude to the Pakistani woman... The Pakistani woman could be a better Muslim - it isn't about our appearance it's about what we have in our heart and mind and how we act. Only Allah knows and only he can judge us. Then again the Pakistani woman should respect her sisters in Islam and support them as well just as they should support her.
+007VitaminD It only says to cover the private parts. But, ahadith clearly state that, for a woman, everything except her hands and face are private. So, Islamic scholars don't disagree on this, only non-studied Muslims. Regarding this, "better woman" political correctness, of course a women is a better Muslim for wearing it compared to not. But, it is merely one thing that adds to her. Other things may take away from her goodness or add to it. So, wearing it is obviously better than not. Yes, people can't judge how good a Muslim woman is by her covering alone, but it is supposed to bring women closer to Allah.
Junk Mail the Qur'an says all believing women should, not must, but *should* cover all but the hands and face. This is not a call for the garment today known as the hijab, niqab, or anything. It is saying they should be covered, and anything creative or ingenious can be used to accomplish this. Hijab is just the traditional way to do it.
No, the Pakistani lady is just super white washed and wants desperately to be excepted by white people and to fit in. And I'm very sure of is that she didn't even wear it in Pakistan she most likely comes from the upper-class society in Pakistan who doesn't wear it either in order to feel more westernized and civilized
+Antar Keith we half of coarse, that term does not refer to any garment of clothing it just means call her but Muslim women all over the world was where different things depending upon their culture and so on and so forth a woman from Malaysia is going to be dressed very different from a woman in Saudi Arabia or a woman in India
Stop being rude respect what they wear and I thing this non believes are just jealous of them coz they are well coved and they look beautiful Masha Allah my Allah bless all the women who cover them self's
The niqabi was very respectful, but I think the woman in hijab should not have kept interrupting the lady who doesn't wear a scarf. It was very disrespectful. You can disagree and still be respectful to each other.
Sanne Strijd wow it’s been 4 years haha, you’ve got the wrong person my friend, I have never said such a thing, would you mind sharing the username of that person??
hi (: the covering isnt there to prevent you from talking to people haha. It allows us to engage in public discourse/activities without being sexualised. The point isn't to cut us off from the world, but to show the world that looks arent the most important thing. Character is.
i'm muslim and the only think that i don't do is i don't cover my head. i don;t wear cloth that are tight or short or its just explicit. and i try to do everything god asks me in religion and be a better muslim i think they are just going to far for wearing the niquab but we need to be a better muslims then wearing a better cloth i think that's whats really spiritual is you helping the poor helping the society and help spread god word by goodness and peace.
peanutbutter er for me it's not ,,it good for me..but i like my friends sister..she something open the cover of her face when in very important event like conversation with Japaneses company ceo that non muslim but still in muslimah dress code.to avoid bad perception ,,because we don't know what will that person think and do, tq .. :)
mohd aris yea for me its also good but that person wrote its going too far with niqab so i thought why it is going too far in that persons opinion. hehehehe
yes .. in islam women need to use proper dress code,including hair..however we can only advise ,cannot force ,and pray ,let Allah open up their heart to be better muslimah..in muslim we all together in bond of islam relationship. insyallah ..
she says: just because i wear a veil its not a barrier bla bla bla...sorry but it is a big barrier..we are used to see each other's faces and i have never seen a woman wearing a veil over her face together with anyone who is not muslim like her..and i live in a big city..oh my what a bunch of crock..
I think I read one time that something like 80% of communication is non verbal, that's the issue with wearing a mask. Frankly, I find it awkward and creepy, and will likely avoid these people unconsciously. Really, Canada is becoming a bunch of countries within one, and I don't know how that will shape the future. Maybe it won't have much of an impact at all (like it hasn't so far), and we can maintain our economic union. Or maybe, one culture will at some point try to dominate the others. I'm not so sure that separation is a good thing (the niqab symbolizes segregation), and I suspect that multiculturalism has diverged from its original pipe dream. Just my opinion.
women wear the niqab to separate themselves from men and prevent harassment...that's originally why it was sent down by God. however, i will say all muslims are really kind...if a sister were to wear the niqab and meet a woman who was christian and they started to speak, the muslim sister would be really nice with the other woman...she would honestly probably even invite her to her home. the same goes for the muslim men. he would probably meet a christian or even atheist man and talk to him like normal...sometimes muslims seem unfriendly in public, but i think most people in general look unfriendly in public. it's not like people are just walking with a smile all the way down a street.
8:17 "Can't you communicate with me as a normal human being" Well I personally feel that it's everyone right to dress as they want, but clearly people who wear the full face veil have not understood the importance of body language. She talked somewhere else about how we nowadays often communicate using only our voice, through telephone or internet. She seems to forget that for meetings that really matter, you would make an appointment face-to-face, whether it's with family and friends, for a job interview, or any other formal or informal occasion where showing who you are is of some importance.
They are all making good points but the woman in niqab is too self righteous, saying that she is an honorable woman in a manner that implies that she thinks she's better than the other two women, what a terrible person. Covering your body to feel closer to god I get that even nuns do it, thinking some parts of you are not for public consumption that's cool too but covering your face girl!!! really how am I supposed to communicate with you when I can't even read your facial expressions and this is coming from a Muslim girl, I'm Muslim and here's what I think you can wear whatever the hell you want as long as we can see your face. we live in a society and covering your face is just like wearing a balaclava its suspicious :/
@houda larissa Please answer this why do you communicate through devices? Can you read facial expressions from a message or an email ?? The woman in niqab does not have to think high of herself and it is good for her to feel honourable because she has chosen to fully cover up and that is an action millions can never bring themselves to do all because they need to please people. She may not be perfect , she may be a good person or a bad but thats not for us to judge . The important thing is that she has completed her duty and she is proud of who she is and not what she seems to be in the eyes of other people.
Kelly Rampersad Well, I don't know, isn't that the entire conversation about? That niqab is no "duty" even as per Quran? Hijab, maybe, depending mainly on interpretations. And YES, right in the beginning she goes on to say that niqab "exemplifies that I'm an honoured Muslim woman... An honourable woman." Like a whole lot of Muslim women and most non-Muslim women aren't, because hey, I'm NOT going to wear something that will completely isolate me from the world! Like the guy pointed it out, it probably makes sense in deserts and not elsewhere, because the "personality" she's talking about doesn't come through at all when she's completely veiled.
@@stanfrollpans1569 If she wants to conceal her face that is indeed her choice so long as it does not impede the choices of others to life and reasonable security. I myself wear hoods and scarves in cold weather - but anything covering any part of my face is removed before entering a bank, store, office, court, apartment building or hotel, or any place where security is a concern. For anyone to ignore security needs is foolish - or extremely selfish and self absorbed. Hiding from the world is everyone's right, as is engaging with it. There's nothing wrong with being shy or introverted, or scarred, or dealing with chemotherapy or naturally bald. Nor is the choice to conceal one's identity "more honorable" or more moral or in any way whatsoever better than any other choice of dress. Self-erasure is more humiliation than humility, but some people are into that, no problem, just do not arrogantly claim this show of "humility" is a show of honor and/or morality that recognizable human beings lack. It's just a choice of dress, right? And easily removed for security cameras. Unless of course one intends a robbery or murder or other dishonorable immoral act and does not want to be caught.
The comment the veiled woman makes about talking on the phone is rubbish. When one person is speaking to another on the phone, they are on an even footing. When they are in the presence of the other, it is no longer an even footing, as one lies open and "readable" while the other remains hidden and inscrutable. Why does it bother me? It bothers me because like it or not we are human and human beings are designed (or evolved) to operate in a particular manner. Our vision is our primary sense, each face is subtly unique and through that we are able to recognise and assess who we are talking to. We are the great communicators of the animal kingdom, but our communication is not just verbal, it is through facial expressions and bodily gestures. To remove any part of that communication is unnatural, and there are compelling psychological and social reasons why the withholding of a key aspect of our humanity makes us feel uncomfortable. Much play was made by the two traditionalists of what I suppose could be called harassment by men. Well tell them to get lost. Believe it not, anyway, the majority of men ARE capable of controlling their dicks, otherwise rape would be the norm. Oh, and if it is supposed that rape never happens in strict Islamic countries, think again. How would you even KNOW how many rapes there are, as the victim in those societies is highly unlikely to report it, as often she is considered to be just as guilty as the perpetrators, and her life is forever ruined. The whole thing reeks of not only a type of paranoia, but also a tacit admission that women are temptresses ready to subvert the godly man and therefore should be firmly controlled. Like body art or multiple piercing or bell bottoms or crop tops revealing muffin rolls, it's all rather silly and is merely a passing fad. Check it out in ten years time.
Well said, Tony Bennett! Or shall I say, well sung? Lol Seriously, do people next to each other use phone to communicate? Veiled women have this notion that all men other than their father or brother or husband could be easily seduced by their "beauty". They think too highly of themselves.
Ann Turium yes but being 'seduced by their beauty' - only lasts a short time. Once she has her first baby, her body gets distorted, and this make her unattractive to other males - thus ensuring that she will not stray, but instead stay with her husband.
Well say, phone is short term. In the end you need to talk to the person on the other side face to face. You can't stay hiding be hide the phone forever.
8:15 is the funniest part. She says "Can't you communicate with me as a normal human being". This poor girl doesn't understand that normal humans have facial expressions. I don't blame her at all. She is a victim of a messed up ideology that she was born into it and doesn't have a way out of it. Please keep in mind that an apostate is executed in Islam!
Most often, it is worn by women as a symbol of fashion, modesty and privacy. According to the Encyclopedia of Islam and Muslim World, modesty in the Quran concerns both men's and women's "gaze, gait, garments, and genitalia." The Qur'an instructs Muslim women to dress modestly. Not face
She said everything... "The message is I'd like you to judge me based on who I am, and what I do, not based on the way I look" It's complicated, but I got it
Yeah I was thinking that too. The only reason one should choose to wear it is for their own personal spirituality, not to be "more Muslim"....that's why places that require it seems totally against everything it's supposed to be about. Most of my Muslim female friends don't where anything at all, and the few who do chose to themselves, even if no one else in their family does
oh for god sake stop being so touchy and pull things out of air. She is saying that she is saying that she is expressing her honor and express her as a person with an opinion.
Niqab is essential for woman empowerment. 1-In islam men and women are equal. And equality does not mean the same. Such as in an exam if two students have 80 marks, it does not mean that they got the same marks in every answers of every question.But we will say that they got the equal marks. Similary, in islam man has his own duties and rights and woman has her own duties and rights. If a thief enter a house, the man will protest him.In this situation the woman will not say that I want to be your equal you or I have the right to protest the thief. Allah has given us duties according to our abilities. 2-You cannot say that man should wear niqab. Because man has no enemies when he goes out. He has the ability to protect himself. But a woman has no ability to protect herself if a man force herself. Now you may say that by wearing niqab a woman expresses that every man is a bad minded one. Then I will say that when you locking your house, you are expressing that every person in this world is a thief. When you are taking signatures for a contract, you are expressing that your partner is a fraud. The presence of police in a country expresses that all the peoples of the country are criminals. 3-Your face is your beauty.You should protect your beauty. Now you will say that I am very old minded or you will say who thinks like this in this modern era. Then I will say that the people who makes relationships with another one inspite of having his wife thinks like this. You cannot just ignore the fact that you face is one of the most beautiful part of your body. 4-Niqab will make a man respect you. Niqab will make man feel uneasy and uncomfortable to talk to you. So he will never be attracted to you.Niqab does not disrespect you bit it increases your respect.Niqab is not a barrier for your identity but it is the way to make your identity as a Muslima. So If you want to prevent eve-teasing,if you want to give woman her acqual right, if you want to empower the women you should accept niqab.
Let them cover what they want ._. Every person has parts of their body covered because of X reasons. We are all different. We choose what to expose or not, and when we do it.
The idea that we (as Muslims) must conform to Western conventions is ... problematic because it assumes that Western conventions of beauty and social normativity are worth conforming to. ALL patriarchal and regressive understandings of Islam surely need to be challenged , Islam states that all three of these womxn are free to exist as they have presented themselves- the problem is that some of us want to be accepted by a society that in itself is not perfect. Another problem is that some of us fail to see that other understandings of Islam are just as valid as ours, we are here to attain closeness with the almighty and to spread the wonders of our faith, you can choose to wear your hair open or not or to have no hair even- but our purpose as Muslims is the same: to be selfless and kind as well as devoted and humble .
How do they get a health card, pass port, drivers licence when they cover their face. Btw, I think the head dress and face covering looks offensive, and most muslims will tell you that it is not required in islam.
+SwordofManticorE Niqabis are somewhat obligated to show their faces for identification purposes. Preferably, they would want to show their faces to a woman, and that woman would vouch for them. I think there is a part in the Quran that a veiled woman must remove it in court if the judge orders you to do so. Besides, if they want to cover their faces, even their eyes, then they should have that choice.
Most muslims would argue with you. If they want to cover their face, let them do it in their own country. Not here. We are at war against terrorism and this is a security issue.
+Anthony Yang Sounds sexist as fuck to me lol. Whats the difference between showing your face to a woman or a man. Last time I checked, there is no difference between female and male eyes in humans

i would never hire anyone wearing a veil. so much of communication is facial expressions and body movements and to me i wouldn't feel like i could trust anyone wearing a veil. Wearing a veil just separates you from everyone else and repels others away from you
Hijab is forced upon Muslim women by their Father, brother or husband, based on Sharia laws. At some point "old habits become hard to change" however, the issue of Muslim women wearing hijab/neqab in the West is simply to make statement. As if they are saying: "look at me I am the virtues".
S Verdon She is not Pakistani, she lives in Canada she says so. My daughter is half Asian and half Norwegian. What does that make her ? She lives In Norway, she is Norwegian. Period.
The woman in the niqab is so respectful. She is just so sweet!

Confused religious cult members. This is a sex cult 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The Niqabi seems very well spoken
The woman covering her face is the prettiest even tho i cant see her. HER MANNERS, CALMNESS,RESPECT, PATIENCE AND KIDNESS towards women next to her.
What a Bull$hit lol 🤣😆
Yes that is just honest facts, well said. It doesn’t give islam an unfortunate image wearing hijab or Niqab! It’s a declaration of faith and a manifestation of your submission of the connection with our lord.
I'm an athiest and I had a friend at Uni who wore the Niquab. It was never a barrier to our friendship, neither were our stances on religion. She completely put up with me asking stupid questions about the niquab and was generous enough to share her story of adopting the niquab with me (her mother doesn't wear one, she spoke to other niquab wearers about their experiences and made her own decision). She was a sweet person, and I learnt to read her emotion from her eyes, the veil wasn't a barrier
niqab = criminal background
how sweet of u!
three different women who practice their spirituality to God in different ways. I'm Christian and honestly, it does not bother me that they cover up. The only issue I can think of is that I would not be able to identify them if they did wrong to me. And let's not pretend that being covered means they are incapable of doing wrong. We are all a working progress, covered or uncovered.
well said.
I mean if your girl , you will get to see her
Actually, covering with a veil is not as necessary as a hijab cuz it's a choice. But just like hijab, there will be situations where u actually hv to uncover ur veil. for example, face identification when u r going through the process such as going overseas, u hv to show ur face to the officer who checked your passport. Even in the Quran hv mention it. And if u actually bump into someone that wear veil like a car accident, just ask for her id and take a pic of it also the car no plate n bring it to the court, just show it to the judges n she will hv to show her face if it is needed. So I dont really see much prob for it. (yes, the woman's id will hv her own face n it is not covered cuz like I said in various situations u hv to show ur face) hope it clear up ur questions
As Muslim if i am in non Muslim country i will object on two of then one without scarf and one with face cover . The one with face cover is increasing (sorry i don't have much knowledge of depth English) the gape in between Muslims and non Muslims and the one without scarf making no difference but the third one with scarf look exactly as Muslim model . I object to that lady covering full face that she should change to Islamic country since religion matters to her so much that she looks creature from other world in between the population. Islam doesnt teaches such things she is provoking others to object on her so she doesn't represent Islam neither the one without scarf .
freakingtv
personally, i wear what ever blends in. if I'm in the middle east I'll wear all black and wear the niqab, but when i go back to the states ill switch to wearing subtle colors and just a scarf and abaya. basically, whatever wont cause much attention. which is one of the main reasons we're supposed to cover up.
that makes alot of sense
@Beholdthehandbeholdthenail First of all Allah can understand all luanguege it is he how have teached us all launguege. He is the only god the first with no begining and the last with no ending. Just because Allah's last profet was from arabia and he spoke arabic that's why everything is in arabic. Do you think he will speak English or other languege. Allah explian why the quran is in arabic. He says "indeed we have sent down the quran in arabic so you may understand" ( Quran 12:2 ) and that make sens. Because the people that the prophet came to warn was arabic speakimg people. Allah says in other vers " We have not sent a messenger except in the languege of his people to clarify (the messege) for them. The Allah leaves whoever he wills to stray and guides whoever he wills. He is all Almighty and All-Wise. ( Qran 14:4 )
Allah is the most wise it is he who created everything and he nows the best so who are we to say something agianst his decisions.
@Beholdthehandbeholdthenail You dont have to give your child a arabic name it's the your choice .
@Beholdthehandbeholdthenail You can take you shahada in every languege you want
you are a massive hypocrite and a person who lives double life
I like the hijab and niqab. Modesty is a personal expression of faith. I'm in the West. I dress modestly and have worn a scarf on and off for years. There have been many times when I would have preferred the niqab. For me it's because I'd like to have a bit more comfort zone outside the home. We do talk on the phone, chat, text and email countless times each day without people needing to see our face. So I really don't understand why people fuss about the niqab so much.
yeah this didn't age well
@@Lmfdorawhere did it not age well, may i ask?

as a non Muslim i found this video very informative and helped me understand why Muslim women wear hijab,niqab and other head coverings i just hope that other people will learn to understand this as well because i find it fascinating
May God bless you☺
I find it to be ironic people question muslimahs of why they wear hijab but never question catholic or jews as to why they cover smh. I know why though
The non hijabis who say " I know I should, I just find it difficult " respect goes to them and may Allah give them strength to wear it. To those who say "it doesn't say in the Qur'an to wear it", sister, you're just following your desires and deceiving people, or you yourself have been deceived, and may Allah guide you. There is plenty of evidence of it being mandatory and 0 of it being not.

You have 114 chapters in the quran. But it is so bad and incoherent that you have over 60000 hadiths to explain these 114 chapters of the quran. But because the hadiths are so incoherent, you have 6 million muslim scholars, imams and dawahgandists over the past 1400 years telling you what the 114 chapters and 60000 Hadiths actually mean. Then add the 90% of Muslims who can't ACTUALLY understand Arabic, never ACTUALLY read the quran and therefore have to ACTUALLY just follow what they are told by there Deen, Hikmah and Umah interpreted by the 6 million muslim scholars, imams and dawahgandists.

@windwind6755 you lack knowledge
@@yemi3266you lack understanding. It's not 600 AD anymore. Windwind said it rather well. I have read the Quran in English and it is confusing. I read the Bible, old and new testaments, in English and it too can be confusing. How many religious scholars does it take to explain both books? Way too many many. I started reading the Hadiths just to try to understand the religion more and I am now entirely sick of reading them. Secular laws that apply to all people regardless of religion are what I follow and obey.
I think women should be able to whatever they like. whether that's a mini skirt or niqab. I don't see how people can judge a woman wearing niqab but not judge a woman showing almost everything! it particularly amazes me when feminists are judgemental and nasty towards women in hijab or niqab, but want to be able to show off their cleavage and backside to world.
To me, part of being a progressive society is to accept people for wearing whatever they want to wear, in whatever style or trend they wish.

Jesus loves you, He is the one and only Son of God. Jesus said: "For I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father but through me."
As a hijabi wearing the hijab is a sign of Muslim pride. When I see another hijabi we instantly have a connection because we understand each others struggles being a Muslim hijabi in America or the western world. The hijab is also a sign of self respect. I personally do not think that showing your beauty to the world is necessary. I will show what I want to show to whomever I want. I don't care if you wear a bikini or wear the niqqab. That is your choice and no one elses. Although I do not agree that you should change or try to fit in just to make other people pleased that you look like them. The only person that you should please is God the Almighty.

So go head reply, go on, its not gonna make a difference.
While I believe women have the right to choose what they wear (anything from nudism to a burqa), the veil is in fact a barrier to communication, just for the sole reason that only 7% of communication is through words. The rest is facial expression and body language, neither of which can be clearly seen in a niqab/burqa.
I agree with u Bojana.....
Bojana Jovovic men don't get facial cues as well as women tho... And even words can be misunderstood so I don't really agree with that.
No
Exactly. A simple observation and %100 correct.
How is body language blocked by a burka?
I don't have anything against Muslim women wearing a hijab, but my personal opinion is that a niqab is a little bit too much. Your face is like one of your identifications and if you choose to wear a niqab you have to expect people to get scared and keep themselves away from you and wonder what you're really up to. I'm not saying it's because you're a Muslim, no, just because you cover almost your entire face and that scares people off. If I would wear a mask or something like that and walk around in public people would be scared of me to and wonder what I'm up to, probably if the police saw me they would even ask me to take it off.
Yes I know these women who wears niqab wears them for a religious purpose but that isn't a excuse, it's fine to just wear a hijab, then you're at least still showing your face. If you want to cover your hair you know what fine, that's totally up to you.
Also if a woman wearing niqab and commits a crime even if it's recorded on camera they can't find out who she is, it's like someone robbing a bank with a mask on. So it's about security for everyone in our society as well. Also I think a niqab can scare people of because it's often associated with the extreme Islam.
Here in Europe they are staring to forbid wearing niqab in public places, for example a area in Italy has already forbidden it and there are more countries here to do it, and I think it's more than right. No, it wouldn't be right at all to forbid hijab, but niqab? Yes.
***** see niqab is someone's choice not force!!!
***** see,Non Hijab Muslims are Completely in wrong path,but i can't judge them because maybe Allah will Guide Them Tomarrow,So Im saying That Muslims who (both men and women) don't wear hijab are In wrong path but Only Allah knows when they'll change,we have no rights to judge them but we have rights to tell what is wrong and right!
Hijab Is For both Men and Women,Not for women only,
Hijab For Mens are:
Cap-(For head cover)
Long Sleeve Jubbah-(For Hands and legs cover)
Beard-(Its Not Part of hijab But Rasulullah SAW Said its a Part of Faith)
Hijab For Womens are:
Long sleeve or anything which won't show Hands and Legs-(suggestion is Abaya,)
Hijab(its not Means Hijab is word for head cover only,Its a Name of type Head cover,not Fashion)
Try Not To change Islam for this 21st Century,try to change yourselves In this 21st century For Islam.
The Muslim who Change Islam in their Lifestyle Is Not a Muslim,The Muslim Who Change his Lifestyle For Islam Is A Real Muslim.
+Rebecka Pedersen I agree. By claiming the veil is mandatory I should also be able to wear a spiderman or batman mask all day long and hide my identity. Its ridiculous in the work place. We all give up our identities to surveillance systems in malls etc. But these veiled ladies get a free pass? It's not right to have someone leering at you through a mask yet you can't even recognize their face. It's simply a refusal to integrate. There's a lot of denial here.
Khadija Chabou Don't like those either. But those aren't outright masks that look like balaclavas.
Khadija Chabou Nope. Facial Detection can still work on those. And I don't support it either way. When I see someone in a hood and sunglasses I do get suspicious. And its irritating when veiled muslim women feel they can freely look upon us while we wouldn't even be able to recognize any of them the next day. It is rude in our culture. Especially in a work situation were transparency and communication is important. If you don't respect western culture then you can go somewhere else. We would be treated the same in an Islamic country. Or we would be punished outright.

The human brain is designed to perceive and recognize faces. It's one of the first things a newborn child will do as it develops. There have been a remarkable number of studies and articles written about how small children recognize faces and it allows them to make sense of the world.
The psychology behind it continues into adulthood. It's part of the reason so many people claim to see faces in things where there are no faces. Clouds have faces, abstract paintings have faces, the swirl in that marble floor tile may have have faces. These are all subtle tricks played by our minds because that's just what the human brain does. It recognizes patterns, and one of the earliest patterns we learn to recognize is the basic recognition of a human being by looking at their faces.
So when the Niqab-wearing woman in this video says "I don't understand how just because I've covered my face, that makes it harder for others to respect me and treat me like a human being..." well, she's kind of bringing it on herself. She's completely dehumanizing herself because she's removing the ability for others to recognize her as a human being using the most easily recognizable aspect... her face.
Couldn't agree with you more. I don't mind them covering their hair but the face. There isn't any form of communication whatever with someone you can't see. They can never justify that. I'm sorry.
+Kevin Walter Very well said. She seems intelligent, but how can it escape her attention that she is cutting off body language which is so important in communication. She is like someone saying, "I will not talk with you face to face, but only by telephone or over the internet." I consider that rude and disrespectful.
+Kevin Walter People can recognise a niqabi with just their eyes and by the way they talk and walk and the way they sound. I wear niqab and people I interact with often do recognise me. In fact if I go without my niqab in front of people who recognise me in niqab, they wouldn't recognise me by my face. They would only recognise me in niqab.
Covering face does make other people uncomfortable and other women wearing short dresses makes me and many other people I know uncomfortable but I don't go around saying to those other women that don't wear short dresses it makes me uncomfortable. Of course they would get offended if I say that and of course I have no right to dictate them what they should wear and not wear for my own comfort. The same way I don't want other people telling me what to wear and not to wear. It's my choice. I will do what I want to do, I will wear what I want to wear, either if other people are not comfortable around me. It's their problem that they are judging me not mine. I'm speaking on behalf of the women who are bullied because of wearing niqab.
To be honest not all Muslims believe Niqab is compulsory. Either Muslims take the benefit of the doubt and not wear niqab or they wear niqab so that even if it is not compulsory they will get more good deeds.
I hope you understand my point. Stay Blessed.

+Areej Saqib ..v.well said
I took my Shahada today. I wear the hijab as a reminder to myself to be the best woman-the best MUSLIM- I can be, to represent to others what I believe, and because I believe Allah is proud of modest women. Covering oneself, whether it be the face, the hair,or the whole body is not dont to make things easier on men. When a woman covers her face it forces people to listen to her VOICE..
good job! MashAllah, but sis please change the name of your account❣
I learn from these women one day i was sitting in a doctor office and i was sitting across a young Muslim women with the veil she was very polite we had a good conversation.
I’m a Muslim revert and I just started to wear the niqab today. I definitely understand where the woman in the niqab is coming from.
why don't men wear hijabs?
@@EUGEN093 Apparently men want to be judged by their appearance.
I;m thinking of reverting to islam for the obvious reasons. LOL
@@EUGEN093 why do men have to come in every equation and question related to women? Why are these ppl so obsessed with men? Can't even understand a single matter without dragging and bringing men into it.
Why dont kids have to wear that? Why dont animals do that? Why dont birds do that? Open up!
@@UA13273 its not an answer. So why?
Regarding the Niqāb: "I don't think it creates any barriers" says the young female wearing the Niqāb. I find it so strange that it is [literally] a barrier, however she does not think it is.
@@drd.n4695 I find it hypocritical that you're telling them to express themselves even though that's just their own personal decision, are you having any trouble understanding what she's saying because you can't see her face? No. Then just leave her alone.
@@drd.n4695 First of all, I am sorry for what I said. Second thing, my sister wears burka and my two other sisters don't, my mom doesn't and my dad never talked to anyone about it, each one made her decision on her own.
The reason I always find myself jumping on these comments is because sometimes people seem to think that they're forced to do this and that they are just brainwashed or something. They keep making it a political thing and just say that it's because we want to change who you are. It was never political before people started banning it and making it political.
@@drd.n4695 I'm not defending any propaganda nor am I playing dirty little games, all I am saying is some muslim women want to wear it, so just let them wear it.
@@drd.n4695 you misunderstand my argument. I'm not saying that a woman HAS to wear it, my mom and my other sisters don't and I'm not bothering them because of it. I have no right to do that.
@@stanfrollpans1569 Part of communication is facial expression, a smile, a frown, a raised brow. Not just vowels and consonants and tones. So there is obviously less clarity in communication.
Many who prefer women to hide their faces insist women who don't are less, especially less moral, showing a twisted arrogance, giving men full rein to brutally immoral behavior they may blame on their victims while abdicating all semblance of self control or propriety.
In an age of security cameras, masks, balaclavas, niqabs, scarves wrapped over faces are all concerns. I cannot walk into my credit union on the coldest day with a hood pulled forward,it must be pushed back or even lowered and scarves lowered or removed, for everyone's safety. This would apply to stores, courtrooms, and politicians' offices. I do not believe a 20 year old woman is too stupid to realize this, especially in a time of religious terrorism.
The girl with the Niqab looks beautiful, she looks prettier than the other two and I cant even see her face xD
You can, you can see her eyes. She has nice eyes.
Damiano Meehan i guess she needs to cover her eyes too
Damiano Meehan Nice as in the lights are on but nobody's home.
I know right? She's very beautiful!
eract hiyuna No doubt. A true desert rose, beautiful, humble and pure. How could any man control himself in her presence with only her craftily positioned flour bag as protection from instant rape. True, it can get a bit stuffy on hot days but in her modesty she understands it's her destiny. In His wisdom Allah has a special place in heaven for those with bags over their heads. After all it's for her own good; who is she to argue? And the fortunate man her husband, what joy - as at the end of each hard day he tenderly slips her bag off .... What a woman!
As a non-muslim, I have never been afraid to speak to a Muslim woman in a hijab. She has every right to cover herself and be respected for it.
It is interesting that those questioning the use of the veil (Niqab) are the ones who wear make up as their own veil yet no one questions that.
MashAllah JazakAllah to the sister with niqab you have answered her the best way anyone would do May Allah bless you and May we meet in jannatul firdous Ameen
Why are u showing ur face then ? Hypocrites
@@blacksheep6174 she isnt obligatory to cover her face but is to love humans.
@Padmini Prasad we dont approve-it is a cultural.thing.
I am college student who works in a warehouse on the side and I can personally say that when everyone wears the same clothes it changes how you relate to them. This is the reason why Buddhists are all shaved and wear the same clothes whether man or woman.
I am also a western man and I personally observe in myself the objectification of woman. This whole process happens unconsciously and I try to focus on it and change it whenever it happens. But it is a lot harder to not objectify a woman when she is dressed in a manner that sends certain signals in a mans brain.
It has nothing to do with self control of the man, this is something that is almost evolutionary. I meditate and so I am someone who is experienced in focusing on certain perceptions and rectifying them when they are not inline with the truth but even I am not immune against this objectification. It's something most people don't even see in themselves. It is politically correct to say that you do not objectify woman so we tell ourselves "we do not objectify woman" but in fact this happens on a very subtle level. That's why one has to concentrate.
The way I stumbled upon this knowledge that I was objectifying woman started of when I asked the question why I feared certain woman. (usually attractive woman). And I began to think about this question and my fear stemmed purely from the physical, I was intimidated by it, the girl could be an amazing girl but I would not see her personality at all. I had a much easier time approaching more "conservative" woman because when I looked at them, instead of immediately having something triggered in me that would objectify them I see them as human beings. This is another thing about objectification, when a beautiful girl enters somewhere, I literally forget that she is human being, therefore I do not interact with her as I should.
One way to infuse humanness in my perception of scantly clad woman was to imagine them aging and loosing all their physical attractive parts. This visualization would bring me back to reality so to speak. I would then be able to see her humanness.
I also live in European country with many muslim woman so when I was meditating while sitting on the metro and thinking about all of this I suddenly understood the whole Hijab Niqab thing. Its origins came from this same battle that I was fighting within myself everyday.
The more modern our societies have become the more people wanted to make themselves unique from the rest, and in the process we forget that we are actually all the same no matter how much make-up we wear or how our chest looks.
This is a deep spiritual battle and I'm on the side of Islam on this, I totally understand them. But on another level this veiling can have a bad effect on the harmony in non arabic communities as it does put more barriers up and that is never a good thing. These barriers only exist when it happens in the west in the arabic worlds this is probably normal.
The niqab can also act as something objectifying, again perhaps this is only in the psyche of a western person like myself, but If I see a woman in niqab on the streets just as the scantly clad woman I do not see her humanness. Its strange.
***** You're right, it never was a religious custom. It was worn to protect themselves from their harsh desert environment. Men also wore similar garbs.

Warehouse worker? You should be a scholar!!
"The more modern our societies have become the more people wanted to make themselves unique from the rest, and in the process we forget that we are actually all the same no matter how much make-up we wear or how our chest looks."
I think you've got it all figured out!
The fact that there are many women in the West who are scantily clad does not mean all women should wear burlap sacks.
There is a middle line where a woman can be dressed normally and not be improper or immodest and there is no need for us to completely disappear under a sheet for us to be considered modestly clad.
***** sorry man , but there is Quranic basis for wearing the niqab the idea of niqab is to hide their beauty to calm down the desire of men who are not releated to them( not a brother or a husbend) make less chance of cheating . for me i see it like a proof of faithfull woman to her husband
and we are in 2014 make up and fashion are expensive this is the economic sidde of it loool
***** But the Qur'an, just like any other book read by anyone, is open to personal interpretation. If a Muslim woman feels the desire to wear niqab, then she should be allowed. It is freedom of expression.
I don't understand why everyone has a problem with women wearing hijab. Everyone has their own body and can do whatever they want with it. If a women chooses to wear a mini skirt and a crop top, then so be it. If she chooses to wear a long skirt and a long sleeve shirt then SO BE IT. ITS HER BODY. this is how society is superficial, because everyone is in women's business about what they should wear. Why can't women just choose for themselves what they want to wear on their OWN BODY? it's that simple!
I think it's because people have a problem with Islam itself.....and the way it's conducive to generating anti-Western terrorist radical groups. People are uncomfortable. It's fear. A feeling of terror. No one feels that way about nuns because modern Christianity hasn't organized bombings of buildings or threatened murder of people who joke about Jesus on a cartoon strip.
Chuck Norris You seem to be saying random words. I can do whatever I want with my body. It's my body and just because I choose not to show it to everyone, doesn't mean I have been forced to cover my body. And I don't know what you're blabbering about gays and the beach. you make no sense. My religion doesn't condemn killing, as opposite as the media may portray it. And I have a bunch of gay friends.. so I'd suggest you stop talking now.
etattainments
you cannot do shit if your religion does not allow you to do it, you are just a pathetic slave
Chuck Norris I suggest you seriously stop talking. You don't know anything about my religion aside from the lies media shows to you. If you really want to have this conversation, go ahead and study my religion first then come back and claim I can't do anything. Even if I wasn't Muslim, I wouldn't want to go around walking half naked just for the satisfaction of men.
etattainments Nobody wants to go around walking half naked just for the satisfaction of men, other than sluts. The rest of us normal people do it at the beach because it's summer and we want to swim and feel the breeze on our skin. Do you seriously believe that western women wear less clothing because they do it just for men? in our post-feminist society? For one, we are way more modest than many tribal people in Africa or the Amazon. It's frankly offensive that you people always link clothing with sex. What's with the obsession?
The niqabi is actually my aunt and she is just so sweet and I love her so much
May The Almighty bless her and grant her the highest level in jannah❤❤❤
Please don’t quote a book of fiction. Quran, bible, Torah all belong in the fiction section (bad fictions)
Notice who is the most confident. The one who even cut of the other woman even while they were making their points.
Confident or arrogant ?
People are now judging these women for their dress. So the purpose of not wanting others to judge you for your looks has definitely failed.
...... good point......!
I think you conflated two different issues here: without the hijab people can judge a woman based on her looks (bodily features, hair, skin etc.)- the way she, as an individual, looks. With the hijab however these things are not apparent anymore: so all that remains for people to judge with regards to her appearance is her dress. It is a different type of judgement. The first thing is to be judged based on how you as a person look with your unique features. The seccond thing is to be judged because people don't like the way you dress: in that case they either don't like Islam, this concept of modesty etc. Whatever their opinion might be.
@@Whitefullmoon i think it is FAR WORSE getting judged for a bad choice of doing hijab modesty (covering up) as a virtue tells the observer the person is an IDIOT. Such hijabi people will be considered STUPID by most scientific / philosophical minds. Very much defeats the said purpose the lady was mentioning. In civilized society, hijab does not get you respect, nor can you avoid being judged for your looks. My point stands...
I use t-shirts. Some women in Africa doesn't. And?? We use what we think we must. Let others wear what they want.
actually one should look like the society he/she live in . it looks odd if u live in western world . more over if u r in a public relations job how would it look .
I agree Rocky Balboa...!
Exactly!
🤣👍
Body language is 70% OF communication, its like talking to a linen cupboard.
then go talk to a linen cupboard
teddytalesable
Lenen cupboards are inanimate, thus can't take back or respond to your commetns. However, a woman in niqab is A LIVING HUMAN BEING BUT SHE IS WEARING MORE CLOTHES THAN THE WALKING MASTERBATION FANTASIES AS PORTRAYED IN THE MEDIA. Who am i talking about, the naive and ignorant western women, who think nudity liberates them while at the same time porn industry releshing this cultural movement. They are not being liberated but objectified to the point i have to see a nude women to sell corn flakes, coffee, toilet paper, even chocolates!!!
So who are these women following? Women who are not qualified to be role models because they are sold by corporate industry and even possibly sleeping with these executives to be promoted. (Lady Gaga, Madonna, Snooki, Britney Speers, Paris Hilton, Lil Kim, Foxy Brown, Nikki Minaj, Tyra Banks, etc).
moorejr1400
Don't hold back now, just say it like it is.
Norm Ball If you are saying body language is 70% percent of communication are you implying that the women who have been veiled before Islam, Virgin Mary, Jewish Women, nuns, etc COULD NOT BE UNDERSTOOD? Furthermore, you claim that taking to a woman wearing a burqa or niqab is like talking to a cupboard, SO WHAT HAPPEN WHEN THE WOMAN VEILED IN THIS VIDEO IS SPEAKING? YOUR EARS WENT DEFT? If you can hear her enough to make a comment should must have made logical and complete thoughts rather you agree with her or not. Your comments are on this channel! Now put a cupboard in this equation. If you wanted see a cupboard, you should go to a channel with advertisements from Jennifer Convertables, or Raymour and Flanagan, etc. You would not hear any lamps, sofas for desk speaking. If you get a voice over its NOT THE FURNITURE!!! ITS A SALESMAN! As for the women in the veil in this video, you are HEARING HER SPEAK, VEILED WOMEN ARE NOT FURNITURE!! IF YOU ARE SAYING THEY HAVE TO BE NAKED FOR YOU TO SPEAK TO THEM THEN YOU HAVE A REAL PROBLEM.
moorejr1400
No, what I'm saying is body language is 70% of communication. The face movements communicating the majority of feelings. What do a smile mean if you can't see it.
Women wearing a veiled is as bad as a woman in a porn film, gasp you say, how can it be the same, because men want it. Ah but it's a woman's choice to wear a veil, okay and some women like making porn.
Me, I would rather see the saleman's face, but that's just me.
Okay maybe it was wrong saying linen cupboard but they may as well be talking from behind the door of the cupboard.
This respect thing is such an one way street in some culture. "You need to respect my culture. I don't have to accommodate yours. "
Accomodating to ones culture is not a neccessary part of respecting it. I respect your culture, you respect mine, simple as that.
Chinese Muslims are a thing Islam isn’t a culture
It's normal though. If someone chooses to leave their home country for another place they think is better, then they have to respect that place and respect its cultures and rules. If you come from a islamic country to a Christian country, then do the bare minimum to fit with the Christians. I'm not saying you have to go to church, but if covering your face entirely is not generally acceptable for those people, let go of the face veil.
If a man can control himself, he will do it anyway whether woman is covered or not. it's not about tempting with your beauty, it's all about self-control.
don't see men commenting this just women :)
So tru (to the comment, not the person on top)
true
How these women can describe seeing the expressions of a person's face as not being part of communication is beyond my comprehension. We read people through their facial expressions and not to have that is a barrier. Do these women not wish to communicate with the outside world? Then if covering your face is good why should it just be women that do it and not men?
Men also have to cover in different ways:)
Well , now all human beings are covering their faces and not allowed to touch each other!!!
Damn it man. Just let people cover up however they friking want. We might as well ban turbans for Sikhs if we’re going to ban Muslim women wearing niqab. Let people wear what they want for gods sake. Muslim women want to be covered to please the creator. As a matter of fact some Christian women wear scarfs and there entire body. Just let them wear what the6 want.
When asked the question of why don't men have to cover their faces. She completely avoided the question and related it back again to women, but then knowing that she was totally avoiding the question, at the end she says: "Men have their own dress code, they can't just walk around wearing what they want". Where is the equality then if men wish wear one? when before that spoken line she says. "then if people differ on what that modesty is, i think thats totally fine". So in one line you say it's totally fine, and in the next line you say there are dress codes to abide by, What complete BS and hypocrite.
Exactly my point! They never answer it. Now if both of them covered where it was equivalent then they'd have a point, but why only women?
They're clearly brainwashed, otherwise islam does not support an equal society, or therefore it could be argued that both men and women should be allowed to wear these Niqab's, which are quite similar to balaclavas.
alibabashero ok westerner women cover there nipples but men don’t where is the equality??
@@alibabashero that's not correct. Plus the niqab isn't written in the Quran. It's just an extra step some woman take and some support. It started of as a way to protect women from rich families from rape, in preislamic Arabia
www.whyislam.org/social-issues/gender-equity-in-islam/
Presenting your personality in a niquab? You have chosen not to relate to others as a human being! By covering your face another human being can not tell wether you are smiling or angry?
oasis856 I would never trust what a person says if I can't see their face. But oh...men speak for them so it doesn't matter what they say....
I’ve talked to people who don’t wear the niqab and I still don’t understand how they’re feeling by them talking to me
The eyes are still visible... You can see their soul by the eyes not their nose or mouth... I'm an atheist so that's just my opinion
Please spread the word. No time for primative Islamic coverings in this beautiful world.
She might be a goat?
Why hide your facial features! Niqab strips away some personal identity and individualism
***** Some of these muslims don't have a voice tho and they are forced to wear the niqab. And by personal identity I mean the features of the face that make people look different...... the religion tells them to cover this up= stripping away personal identity etc
And I don't give a dame fuck that you may be insulted by my opinion that you are a complete idiot. Shame on you for allowing yourself to "swallow the Kool-Aid" like that! Can't you think for yourself? I guess not. Islam is just as stupid as any other supernatural belief, and you're a fool to allow yourself to be manipulated like that. Or maybe you're so insecure that you need to hide.
***** Men and women are definitely not equal or alike in Islam, you've got that totally wrong! There are a lot of women out there that are forced to wear them. And what you said about men working......that's not the reason why women have to cover their faces and men don't.
So, the only way for men to 'control' themselves is for the women to cover her face!? Absolute rubbish......
And no, nobody should be judged just on how they look or how their face is, BUT by covering women like that it just shows how their personal identity and a part of what makes them different from each other is stripped away from them. And if muslim men can't control themselves when they see the full face of a woman, then there's something wrong right there!
Wake Up CAM S
The most rapist country in the world in Christian Country.
1- USA
In 1990 as per FBI 1756/day
In 1996 as per FBI 2713/day
The unreported figures are much more.
These are facts.
azeem malik Rape is a global issue overall. Rape in MUSLIM COUNTRIES are not Widely RECORDED AS women are at risk of being killed if they report it. However in the US they are encouraged to report it. Furthermore, there are no rape statistics for the middle east because they don't carry it out. You think that means that actual rape culture isn't alive and well there? hmm?
Also in other muslim countries such as Afghanistan.........
FACT: Rape in Afghanistan in practice is very rarely reported, because of the immense risks that women face if they report it. Rape victims in the country face a double risk of being subjected to violence: on one hand they can become victims of honor killings perpetrated by their families, and on the other hand they can be victimized by the laws of the country: they can be charged with adultery, a crime that can be punishable by death. Furthermore, they can be forced by their families to marry their rapist. In 2011, Afghanistan made international news in regard to the story of a woman who was raped by a man, jailed for adultery, gave birth to a child in jail, and was then subsequently pardoned by president Hamid Karzai, and in the end married the man who raped her.[11][12] In 2012, Afghanistan recorded 240 cases of honor killings and 160 cases of rape, but the number for both honor killings and rapes is estimated to be much higher.[13][14] In 2013, in eastern Ghazni, a man attacked a woman and attempted to rape her, and as a result the relatives of the woman killed both the woman and the man in an honor killing.[15] In Afghanistan, crimes such as adultery, rape and trafficking are often conflated with each other,[16] and it is generally not acceptable for a woman and a man to be alone together (unless married or related), and if this happens the response can be very violent: an Afghan medical doctor and his female patient were attacked by an angry mob who threw stones at them after the two were discovered in his private examining room without a chaperon.[17] Recently, the security forces have been also alleged to rape children in the country.[18]
Sweden has the highest rape cases in Europe now because of all the muslim immigrants entering the country.During the first half of 2013, more than 1,000 Swedish women reported being raped by Muslim immigrants in the Stockholm; over 300 of those were under the age of 15.
"cover the bosom" is the norm among all Western countries with rare exceptions.
The "woman" wearing the Niqab looks like one of Darth Vader's Imperial Snowtroopers.
When I saw her I thought exactly the same.
Are you Really a Muslim?
Adam Baum yes u are not... stinking are you... how Islam teaches to be clean and pure.. no religion can ever come to tht position... anyways i respect just your name cause we all are from Him Adam PBUH. But you are mis guided. Learn Islam.
syed siraj No other religion came up with that, because there is no need for a religion to tell people everything.
Apparently only muslims need a religion to explain to them how to wash themselves, how to go to a toilet, and which foot enters the bathroom first.
How is there any good in that?
Cant you think for yourselves?
Soundcomplex Tell that to the world my ignorant friend.
I like how she brings up the whole phone thing. In my line of work I deal with talking to strangers on the phone, I believe that I cannot be 100% certain of what that person is like without seeing them in person. There were countless times that I would have an idea of what the person would be like based on the phone conversation, but then when I meet them they are not at all what I expected. Tone and choice of words can only get you so far into recognizing the character of someone; when they say you can tell a lot about a person by the way they look at you, it is true.
The whole idea is: you don't need to know
9:32 Hijab wearer: "If I believe something is right, I'm gonna do it."
By your own logic, perhaps you'll see that's why you get those derogatory (or perhaps fearful or distrusting) looks you mentioned earlier. The hijab is a visual sign to all the world that you are a devout Muslim. A sign that if you believe its right, you'll do it. The educated public knows that if you follow the holy texts of Islam, a Muslim believer will not befriend a Kafir (Q 3:28), will seek the free-will submission of the Kafir (Q 9:29), or will just outright kill the Kafir, as dictated by their god (Q 8:12).
So you *enjoy* wearing something that shows how believing you are...
Catherine tt Reasons may be similar - but the belief is very different. Just as wearing a star of David means a belief in Judaism.. What you must give context to is "what do you believe" and Muslims believe in abrogation of the Koran, taqiyya, jihad, etc
It's really sad the way that some thinks you can't take a word to judge Islam you have to continue what after it to fully understand the meaning , Quran has many beautiful words and great wisdom islam is against killing all creatures humans and animals Islam has given me a great life that I can only dream of , did you actually know that we are obliged to respect people from all religions before other Muslims , and you people always talk about the hijab why do we have to be judged for the way we dressed nuns cover themselves and nobody ever judged them or said something about that or Islam is always as a discussion martial to you !! I pet that if it was a Christian nun you will go on about how pure and good is she that she is covering her self and devoting herself to God it just #doublestanders and thankfully everyday I discover something that islam has solved for me while others still suffering from islam is pure and right and all love to you because my religion never taught me hate love to all people from all races and believes and I'm proud to be a Muslim .
"There is no compulsion in religion; truly the right way has become clearly distinct from error" Quran 2:256
Which mean that no one has the right to force anyone to Islam , Islam can't be spread by force its a choice , believing is a choice
Also
Allah does not forbid you from those [infidels] who do not fight you in religion and do not expel you from your homes that you treat them kindly and be upright towards them; for indeed the upright are dear to Allah. [Holy Quran 60:8]
Force is only used in war if people start fighting , in Islam we never start war we are not allowed we are only allowed to defense
Islam is full of wisdom and love and I don't blame you for all that hate because o know that most of you are brain washed by the media to hate Islam , you don't know Islam so don't come to conclusions thinking you figured every thing out , you need to study Islam to understand it and at last يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَاكُم مِّن ذَكَرٍ وَأُنثَىٰ وَجَعَلْنَاكُمْ شُعُوبًا وَقَبَائِلَ لِتَعَارَفُوا ۚ إِنَّ أَكْرَمَكُمْ عِندَ اللَّهِ أَتْقَاكُمْ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ خَبِيرٌ (13) O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other (not that ye may despise (each other). Verily the most honoured of you in the sight of Allah is (he who is) the most righteous of you. And Allah has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things). Quran 49:13
We are all made to know , respect and love each other so if I'm a Muslim and she wears niqab and he is Christian and she is Jew Aren't we are all human and should love each other and respect each other we all have different believes and different races and different countries and different images but we are all the Same , humans we share the same parents Adam and Eve which makes us family and family loves each other and respect each other and most importantly protect each other so if my Christian or Jewish or Hindu or any belief sister needs Help I'll help her , don't you understand that is what Islam about love and helping others love you all
It's sad how men think they have the right to demand a women to show any part of herself . Just because they feel they are entitled to request it from her.
My opinion on this, as a non-religious, non-Muslim feminist is that every woman can wear whatever SHE wants. If she wants to cover her hair and even her face, it's her freedom. If she doesn't, it's her freedom as well. I'm not bothered by them, even in the "western" world. It's just a piece of cloth.
Obviously, if they are being FORCED to wear religious covering, that's a totally different thing.
Thank you for your open mind
thank you
"And the men and women who remember Allah frequently, Allah has prepared for them forgiveness and great reward." - Al-Ahzab 33: 35.
to me, the niqabi Sheika EL Kathiri is the most beautiful and Allah has blessed her with noor [light] because she is following the highest form of modesty! MashaAllah!
I love Islam and I support the Muslim women who wear hijab or niqab may ALLAH BLESS THEM. AMEEN
So many women are harassed and raped in spite of dressing modestly in Pakistan, Afghanistan and throughout the middle east.
So its of no use in anyway, except to deprive women of their personality and dignity.
No look at the verse posted in the description:
"Those who harass believing men & believing women unjustifiably shall bear the guilt of slander & a grievous sin. O Prophet! Enjoin your wives, your daughters, & the wives of true believers to DRAW their JILBAB OVER them [when they go out]. That is MORE PROPER, so that they may be DISTINGUISHED & NOT be HARASSED. God is ever forgiving & merciful. If the hypocrites & those who have the ailment [of jealousy] in their hearts & the scandal mongers of Madinah do not desist, We will rouse you against them, & their days in that city will be numbered. Cursed be they; wherever found, they would be seized & put to death. (Qur'an 33:58-61)
This is really outrageous, because one again, in this verse, allah dont care about people. Only thing he cares is about believers. Non believers do not matter to this "god".
But arent they his creation too?
Thats why there is so much struggle with islam in the world, because, in islam, you are of no value if you reject islam.
Thats in fact the very same ideology like fascism.
That does not mean they should not wear it if God had commanded them to wear
Larry Goldman There was never a god, there were only men claiming to speak for a god.

All solar systems, galaxies, galaxy clusters and super galaxy clusters... and he also happens to hate the faces and hair of the females of a certain species of primates.
That's so incredibly petty. XD
really men creation

I bet I know more on all of this topics than you or anyone you know.
I wrote a paper on neutron stars, I study physics and I became an anti-theist after reading the bible, quran and occupying myself with religion, after growing up a very moderate Christian under apologist theology in church and school.

Verily, God does not judge anyone by your appearance or wealth, but by your heart and deeds.
The woman wearing the hijab without the veil really needs to not talk over the one who isn’t covering the way she did. Religions are interpreted differently, and in this case the only person she’d be hurting is herself (if it is believed to be a sin not covering) but it’s like the girl wearing the hijab just keeps trying to force that she’s right and it doesn’t matter what this other person who was invited to the interview wants to say
I respect these women, each one, for her desire to honor the Almighty by not only her words but further, by her behavior. By seeking to serve the Almighty each one is living a beautiful life, indeed the very best kind of life.
thanks for the true christian who respect his religion by respecting other religions
I praise the Almighty, that because of the way He reveals Himself to me, I can see the beauty of a life lived in submission to Him.
Thank you, Mr Zoobi for your kind words.
Shika and Sumayya, thank you very match for all you said and may Allah reward you with Al firdos, Sonia may Allah Gide you to his light,
Fuck your violent religion! Islam is the worst
I gained new insight when the women said the hijab allows them to be judged by the sum of their personality not judged by their looks or sexuality as women are in the west.Great interview I am very grateful to these woman participating in this discussion and sharing their culture and faith with us !Thank you
Other people’s discomfort about hijab & niqab or other forms of modesty shouldn’t come at the expense of the modest person’s comfort… asking a person to take off layers to have a conversation feels yucky, have respect
the women with Niqap !! she is awesome ! I love how smart and deep person she is ... and I agree with her
Explain how she is deep and how she is 'awesome'. She is in our opinion, a cockroach.
@@vervoid73 someone's a cockroach because of the way they dress? Are you sure she's the one who's the cockroach?
Women are 2nd to men in the Quran!
Qur'an 2:223-Your wives are a tilth for you...
Qur'an 4:34-Men are in charge of women...
Sahih al-Bukhari 2658-The Prophet said: “Isn’t the witness of a woman equal to half of that of a man?...
2. No the quran does not say men are in charge of women. Quran says men are the caretaker of women. He would take care of her financial needs, basic needs(including her security), physical needs, emotional needs and spiritual needs. Allah uses the word "Qayum" and it means to take care of something. In Islam it is only Allah who is in charge of us and considering anyone else other than Allah as you in charge is a major sin. And Allah declares men to take care of women not because they are weaker or something but because they are precious.
3. That's not entirely true cases. In some cases the testimony of women is worth half of the men and in some other cases the testimony of a man is considered to be half of a woman. However these two rules are only applicable for minor issues. For major issues like murder, adultery and others both of their testimonies have equal importance.
As a Christian, I could not care less if a woman covers herself completely. My concern is when the face may be required to be shown for:
1. Identification
2. When in court especially as a defedant, plaintiff, or witness
3. Being questioned by authorities for a case, especially in an interogation
By which Muslim women may refuse to do so due to spiritual and modesty reasons.
These instances are not about taking away ones modesty nor intends to violate spirituallity, but administering investigation, law, justice, and personal identification. It is undoubtedly abused by some in authority, but it does not give us the right to resist authorities and disregard the laws of the land. If by any chance it become intolerable to live in a certain land even after pleas are made, it will be better and wiser to hold your peace and move to another than force your way in a land that strongly opposes.
Let people wear / not wear whatever they want. That is my opinion...
I mentioned that before already somewhere else and I want to say it here too. A western woman who is working or travelling to a Islamic country would surely not walk around in micro shorts, heels and a belly free top without a bra. We have to respect their cullture and religion and when they decide to live in a western country, then they shouldn´t expect that we tolerate their dressing style unless they tolerate ours.
In turkish schools covering the head is not allowed, but in Germany turkish girls can be seen covered. We tolerate things in our countries that aren´t even allowed in theirs and that is over the limit of religious freedom.
If you want to wear a Niqab, Burka, Hijab or whatever, then stay in your country and live your traditions and believs there. We don´t want to see that crap in our streets same as you don´t want to see sexy girls in your streets.
I´m not a muslim or Islam hater. But what I realized lately is that Muslims in Western Countries expect or even demand too much. They want to walk around like the modern version of Darth Vaders Storm Troopers, they want a mosque in every bigger City. In France they are blocking entire roads because they have to pray etc. Enough is enough.
Do Christians who live in middle eastern countries demand a Catholic Cathedral right in the Center of Teheran, Kabul or Dubai for example? In some countries it is also expected from our woman to be covered up like muslim woman. In muslimic countries we have to respect this and that just to stay out of trouble. Maybe we should do the same thing. By law every muslima is forced to wear normal dresses like our woman do and then we will see how many are left in our countries.
I think this is the single best response to the entire debate over niqabs, or anything. This is a part of our culture. To Westerners, only villains and cowards wear masks. To us, the only time a brave, honest can wear a mask is for protection in deadly combat. Westerners don't like masks, no matter what the clever and reasonable arguments are about "religious freedom".
the niqab is a mask, and it creeps us out. Our house: our rules.
you must be stupid. have you no idea of freedom of religion?
Robab Masood Freedom of Religion? I might believe in that if I see a Catholic Cathedral right in the Center of Teheran. Don´t come up with such a BS please. You find Mosques all over Europe in almost every City. How about Christian Churches in the Middle East? Freedom of Religion means that you are allowed to believe in whatever you want. But that doesn´t mean that you have to walk around like Alien Storm troopers in our Cities, occupy entire City areas and send Muslim Patrols out. That´s where the freedom ends.
***** First of all I didn´t reply to you. I replied to Robab Masood who is telling me something about freedom of religion (which they demand in our countries) but doesn´t exist in theirs. I don´t go to their places because I don´t like it and if they dont like our culture and adapt and respect it, then they can go back where they came from and happily live their Islamic life there. That simple. And dont call me a bigot. I have my opinion and you have yours. But if you ask me, WESTERN Countries are still ruled by WESTERN people. I´m just sick of this demanding all the time. We want a Mosque here and there. We want our Sharia law. We want this and that. And then what? Sending out Muslim Patrols and tell WESTERN People in their own country and City that they have to get out because it´s Muslim Area? You do that in one of their countries and they execute you in public. Wake up Girl!
***** You can call me a Bigot as much as you like Emily. That doesn´t bother me at all. And I also don´t care where you are born and where you grew up. Australia is and stays a Christian Country. In a Muslim Country they are so "tolerant" that they wouldn´t even accept you there because for them, you are more Australian than Muslima. You are right. Western Countries don´t have Religious laws. And that´s why we also don´t need or want yours.
The religious freedom you mention here is exactly the problem I´m talking about. YOU follow a Religion in a Country that tolerates your Religion, your believe and doesn´t limit you in Buildings and / or food to practice your Religion. But YOUR Religion in Islamic Countries does not give the same freedom to others. No matter which Country that is. And I didt say that all these Countries are in the Middle East.
I don´t hate the Islam itself. They can do whatever they want as long as don´t try to influence my own culture, life or believe, and that´s the point here. How far do you want to go with your freedom of Religion if we have to live with Moslem Patrols in our own Cities already who don´t allow us to enter "their Area"?
There is no such thing as "their Area" Got it now? And if you are more attached to your Religion than the Culture of your Country Australia, the Country that ALLOWS you to follow a Religion that praises the Jihad against non Muslims, then you are in the wrong place. That simple. I can promise you that I would find more people in Australia that agree with me than with your point of few.
In college there was this girl that came up to me wearing a niqab, we had small talk and I realized that talking to someone wearing a niqab is such a diffrent experience then talking to someone without. Its human nature to judge others especially about their physical looks, but with this girl I couldn't judge her based on that, just simply on what she was saying, people who are considered physically beautiful usually are the ones who get ahead in life but if everyone wore a niqab we'd all have to rely on our personalities and hard work.
yoyotunes54 beauty to a point. But if u are lazy, no u arent going to get ahead
Sigh. They say that wearing a hijab, they won't be judged by their looks, but that's exactly what happens.
True.
The best, is read, Read, read Quran and his Sunnah.
I'd be interested to know how the woman in the niqab earns a living, what is her job?
Angel Dust u get paid for ur work u do by hand using ur brain. Not using ur sexuality r ur body naked
Rehanah Hasnain Its NOT about your body being naked. Its about showing your face...nonverbal communication. Well she could stay with a computer for 8 hours and work that way. Dont have to have one specific job :)
I would LOVE to say something,AL QURAAN IS THE GUIDE TO LIFE! THAT IS WHAT OUR GOD AND PROPHETS SAID!
7:48 we don't cover ourselves to "hide" parts of us that are not for "public consumption", but rather, we began to clothe ourselves so we wouldn't be cold, to externally help regulate our body temperature.
To respond to the lady wearing the niqab, who kept emphasizing that it does not matter if a vail covers her face, she is still a human being; you may be a human being underneath the vail, but when I look at her she does not resemble a human. The only thing human about her are her eyes, so I believe the VAIL is dehumanizing, she resembles more a robot, that a living being.
9:13 to believe, that prejudice on the basis of how you look, are non existent, is just plain stupid. We all make prejudice on the basis of how a person looks, it's the first impression a person gives off with his appearance.
p.s. I'm not a native speaker
The only person who makes any sense is the Canadian Muslim sitting in the middle. The other two live in denial.
This is what happens when religion turns out to be a type of madness
...and the worst religion spreads as violently as any deadly virus does.
Jeff Robbins i am guessing that it is your religion you are referring to...
You don't know, maybe he's an atheist, Tamy.
So your "I'm rubber & you're glue" argument doesn't affect him -- can't you think up anything more sophisticated than a child's "I'm rubber, you're glue" style argument?

I love hijab, I used to wear it and then I lose my way and took it off... I am so excited to start wearing it again. However I do not think I am better than anyone else especially other Muslim women just because I wear hijab. I think hijab is better but like the Pakistani woman said the Quran doesn't directly tell you to wear it. I don't think niqab is necessary but I also don't have any problem with women who choose to wear it. I admire them. I admire women who wear hijab and I admire women who don't! But the woman in hijab in this video seems very judgmental and it very rude to the Pakistani woman... The Pakistani woman could be a better Muslim - it isn't about our appearance it's about what we have in our heart and mind and how we act. Only Allah knows and only he can judge us. Then again the Pakistani woman should respect her sisters in Islam and support them as well just as they should support her.
Although the Hijab is directly in the Quran sister, hope that helps :).
+007VitaminD
It only says to cover the private parts. But, ahadith clearly state that, for a woman, everything except her hands and face are private. So, Islamic scholars don't disagree on this, only non-studied Muslims.
Regarding this, "better woman" political correctness, of course a women is a better Muslim for wearing it compared to not. But, it is merely one thing that adds to her. Other things may take away from her goodness or add to it. So, wearing it is obviously better than not. Yes, people can't judge how good a Muslim woman is by her covering alone, but it is supposed to bring women closer to Allah.
Junk Mail the Qur'an says all believing women should, not must, but *should* cover all but the hands and face. This is not a call for the garment today known as the hijab, niqab, or anything. It is saying they should be covered, and anything creative or ingenious can be used to accomplish this. Hijab is just the traditional way to do it.
No, the Pakistani lady is just super white washed and wants desperately to be excepted by white people and to fit in. And I'm very sure of is that she didn't even wear it in Pakistan she most likely comes from the upper-class society in Pakistan who doesn't wear it either in order to feel more westernized and civilized
+Antar Keith we half of coarse, that term does not refer to any garment of clothing it just means call her but Muslim women all over the world was where different things depending upon their culture and so on and so forth a woman from Malaysia is going to be dressed very different from a woman in Saudi Arabia or a woman in India
Stop being rude respect what they wear and I thing this non believes are just jealous of them coz they are well coved and they look beautiful Masha Allah my Allah bless all the women who cover them self's
The niqabi was very respectful, but I think the woman in hijab should not have kept interrupting the lady who doesn't wear a scarf. It was very disrespectful. You can disagree and still be respectful to each other.
This comment section is disgusting...
Just saw your comment below one saying people who don’t cover up are sluts and dogs - so yes I’m inclined to agree sadly...
Sanne Strijd wow it’s been 4 years haha, you’ve got the wrong person my friend, I have never said such a thing, would you mind sharing the username of that person??
Avia Deloi also I got this in my recommended lol, I didn’t actually expect someone to reply 4 years after making a comment ahaha
hi (: the covering isnt there to prevent you from talking to people haha. It allows us to engage in public discourse/activities without being sexualised. The point isn't to cut us off from the world, but to show the world that looks arent the most important thing. Character is.
i'm muslim and the only think that i don't do is i don't cover my head. i don;t wear cloth that are tight or short or its just explicit. and i try to do everything god asks me in religion and be a better muslim i think they are just going to far for wearing the niquab but we need to be a better muslims then wearing a better cloth i think that's whats really spiritual is you helping the poor helping the society and help spread god word by goodness and peace.
Start wearing the hijab :)
why is wearing niqab going too far?
peanutbutter er for me it's not ,,it good for me..but i like my friends sister..she something open the cover of her face when in very important event like conversation with Japaneses company ceo that non muslim but still in muslimah dress code.to avoid bad perception ,,because we don't know what will that person think and do, tq
.. :)
mohd aris yea for me its also good but that person wrote its going too far with niqab so i thought why it is going too far in that persons opinion. hehehehe
yes .. in islam women need to use proper dress code,including hair..however we can only advise ,cannot force ,and pray ,let Allah open up their heart to be better muslimah..in muslim we all together in bond of islam relationship. insyallah ..
she says: just because i wear a veil its not a barrier bla bla bla...sorry but it is a big barrier..we are used to see each other's faces and i have never seen a woman wearing a veil over her face together with anyone who is not muslim like her..and i live in a big city..oh my what a bunch of crock..
I think I read one time that something like 80% of communication is non verbal, that's the issue with wearing a mask. Frankly, I find it awkward and creepy, and will likely avoid these people unconsciously. Really, Canada is becoming a bunch of countries within one, and I don't know how that will shape the future. Maybe it won't have much of an impact at all (like it hasn't so far), and we can maintain our economic union. Or maybe, one culture will at some point try to dominate the others. I'm not so sure that separation is a good thing (the niqab symbolizes segregation), and I suspect that multiculturalism has diverged from its original pipe dream. Just my opinion.
women wear the niqab to separate themselves from men and prevent harassment...that's originally why it was sent down by God. however, i will say all muslims are really kind...if a sister were to wear the niqab and meet a woman who was christian and they started to speak, the muslim sister would be really nice with the other woman...she would honestly probably even invite her to her home. the same goes for the muslim men. he would probably meet a christian or even atheist man and talk to him like normal...sometimes muslims seem unfriendly in public, but i think most people in general look unfriendly in public. it's not like people are just walking with a smile all the way down a street.
When they are minority they need peace, when they are majority they want war against minority or conversions!
8:17 "Can't you communicate with me as a normal human being"
Well I personally feel that it's everyone right to dress as they want, but clearly people who wear the full face veil have not understood the importance of body language. She talked somewhere else about how we nowadays often communicate using only our voice, through telephone or internet. She seems to forget that for meetings that really matter, you would make an appointment face-to-face, whether it's with family and friends, for a job interview, or any other formal or informal occasion where showing who you are is of some importance.
They are all making good points but the woman in niqab is too self righteous, saying that she is an honorable woman in a manner that implies that she thinks she's better than the other two women, what a terrible person. Covering your body to feel closer to god I get that even nuns do it, thinking some parts of you are not for public consumption that's cool too but covering your face girl!!! really how am I supposed to communicate with you when I can't even read your facial expressions and this is coming from a Muslim girl, I'm Muslim and here's what I think you can wear whatever the hell you want as long as we can see your face. we live in a society and covering your face is just like wearing a balaclava its suspicious :/
houda larissa remove one's beauty and whats left her for you to see, is her intelligence and character. Is that so bad?
@houda larissa Please answer this why do you communicate through devices? Can you read facial expressions from a message or an email ?? The woman in niqab does not have to think high of herself and it is good for her to feel honourable because she has chosen to fully cover up and that is an action millions can never bring themselves to do all because they need to please people. She may not be perfect , she may be a good person or a bad but thats not for us to judge . The important thing is that she has completed her duty and she is proud of who she is and not what she seems to be in the eyes of other people.
Kelly Rampersad Well, I don't know, isn't that the entire conversation about? That niqab is no "duty" even as per Quran? Hijab, maybe, depending mainly on interpretations. And YES, right in the beginning she goes on to say that niqab "exemplifies that I'm an honoured Muslim woman... An honourable woman." Like a whole lot of Muslim women and most non-Muslim women aren't, because hey, I'm NOT going to wear something that will completely isolate me from the world!
Like the guy pointed it out, it probably makes sense in deserts and not elsewhere, because the "personality" she's talking about doesn't come through at all when she's completely veiled.
Why are you trying to control her? If she doesn't want to show her face then she shouldn't show her face. That's none of your business.
@@stanfrollpans1569 If she wants to conceal her face that is indeed her choice so long as it does not impede the choices of others to life and reasonable security. I myself wear hoods and scarves in cold weather - but anything covering any part of my face is removed before entering a bank, store, office, court, apartment building or hotel, or any place where security is a concern. For anyone to ignore security needs is foolish - or extremely selfish and self absorbed.
Hiding from the world is everyone's right, as is engaging with it. There's nothing wrong with being shy or introverted, or scarred, or dealing with chemotherapy or naturally bald. Nor is the choice to conceal one's identity "more honorable" or more moral or in any way whatsoever better than any other choice of dress. Self-erasure is more humiliation than humility, but some people are into that, no problem, just do not arrogantly claim this show of "humility" is a show of honor and/or morality that recognizable human beings lack. It's just a choice of dress, right? And easily removed for security cameras. Unless of course one intends a robbery or murder or other dishonorable immoral act and does not want to be caught.
The woman in the middle has good sense.
The comment the veiled woman makes about talking on the phone is rubbish. When one person is speaking to another on the phone, they are on an even footing. When they are in the presence of the other, it is no longer an even footing, as one lies open and "readable" while the other remains hidden and inscrutable.
Why does it bother me? It bothers me because like it or not we are human and human beings are designed (or evolved) to operate in a particular manner. Our vision is our primary sense, each face is subtly unique and through that we are able to recognise and assess who we are talking to. We are the great communicators of the animal kingdom, but our communication is not just verbal, it is through facial expressions and bodily gestures. To remove any part of that communication is unnatural, and there are compelling psychological and social reasons why the withholding of a key aspect of our humanity makes us feel uncomfortable.
Much play was made by the two traditionalists of what I suppose could be called harassment by men. Well tell them to get lost. Believe it not, anyway, the majority of men ARE capable of controlling their dicks, otherwise rape would be the norm. Oh, and if it is supposed that rape never happens in strict Islamic countries, think again. How would you even KNOW how many rapes there are, as the victim in those societies is highly unlikely to report it, as often she is considered to be just as guilty as the perpetrators, and her life is forever ruined.
The whole thing reeks of not only a type of paranoia, but also a tacit admission that women are temptresses ready to subvert the godly man and therefore should be firmly controlled.
Like body art or multiple piercing or bell bottoms or crop tops revealing muffin rolls, it's all rather silly and is merely a passing fad. Check it out in ten years time.
Well said, Tony Bennett! Or shall I say, well sung? Lol
Seriously, do people next to each other use phone to communicate? Veiled women have this notion that all men other than their father or brother or husband could be easily seduced by their "beauty". They think too highly of themselves.
Ann Turium yes but being 'seduced by their beauty' - only lasts a short time. Once she has her first baby, her body gets distorted, and this make her unattractive to other males - thus ensuring that she will not stray, but instead stay with her husband.
Well say, phone is short term. In the end you need to talk to the person on the other side face to face. You can't stay hiding be hide the phone forever.
tony, the niqab(suggested word: 'minicab' LOL): Inscrutable, and unscrewable.
hijab/niqab is a choice not an obligation
In certain places, it's clearly an obligation.
prove it with the Quran and Sunnah.
8:15 is the funniest part. She says "Can't you communicate with me as a normal human being". This poor girl doesn't understand that normal humans have facial expressions. I don't blame her at all. She is a victim of a messed up ideology that she was born into it and doesn't have a way out of it. Please keep in mind that an apostate is executed in Islam!
Most often, it is worn by women as a symbol of fashion, modesty and privacy. According to the Encyclopedia of Islam and Muslim World, modesty in the Quran concerns both men's and women's "gaze, gait, garments, and genitalia." The Qur'an instructs Muslim women to dress modestly.
Not face
She said everything... "The message is I'd like you to judge me based on who I am, and what I do, not based on the way I look"
It's complicated, but I got it
The problem is lack of education regarding modesty.
1:08 so women who choose not to wear the veil aren't honorable? How incredibly judgemental of her. Let's all play "I'm More Muslim Than You Are"
Yeah I was thinking that too. The only reason one should choose to wear it is for their own personal spirituality, not to be "more Muslim"....that's why places that require it seems totally against everything it's supposed to be about. Most of my Muslim female friends don't where anything at all, and the few who do chose to themselves, even if no one else in their family does
oh for god sake stop being so touchy and pull things out of air. She is saying that she is saying that she is expressing her honor and express her as a person with an opinion.
The woman who cover her eyes totally (without seeing anything) will win that game... haha (that Lets all play I am more muslim than u are -game)
Better I mention here that I am not against muslim ppl......... have been with them half my life ...(but niqab I do not understand..)
Niqab is essential for woman empowerment.
1-In islam men and women are equal. And equality does not mean the same. Such as in an exam if two students have 80 marks, it does not mean that they got the same marks in every answers of every question.But we will say that they got the equal marks. Similary, in islam man has his own duties and rights and woman has her own duties and rights.
If a thief enter a house, the man will protest him.In this situation the woman will not say that I want to be your equal you or I have the right to protest the thief.
Allah has given us duties according to our abilities.
2-You cannot say that man should wear niqab. Because man has no enemies when he goes out. He has the ability to protect himself. But a woman has no ability to protect herself if a man force herself.
Now you may say that by wearing niqab a woman expresses that every man is a bad minded one. Then I will say that when you locking your house, you are expressing that every person in this world is a thief. When you are taking signatures for a contract, you are expressing that your partner is a fraud. The presence of police in a country expresses that all the peoples of the country are criminals.
3-Your face is your beauty.You should protect your beauty. Now you will say that I am very old minded or you will say who thinks like this in this modern era. Then I will say that the people who makes relationships with another one inspite of having his wife thinks like this.
You cannot just ignore the fact that you face is one of the most beautiful part of your body.
4-Niqab will make a man respect you. Niqab will make man feel uneasy and uncomfortable to talk to you. So he will never be attracted to you.Niqab does not disrespect you bit it increases your respect.Niqab is not a barrier for your identity but it is the way to make your identity as a Muslima.
So If you want to prevent eve-teasing,if you want to give woman her acqual right, if you want to empower the women you should accept niqab.
I love hijab, niqab and love & respect muslim women.
Then stay in 778BC. the further you are away from the civilised world the better! Enjoy your little boys.
Ur brainwashed and it's very sad
Let them cover what they want ._.
Every person has parts of their body covered because of X reasons. We are all different. We choose what to expose or not, and when we do it.
The idea that we (as Muslims) must conform to Western conventions is ... problematic because it assumes that Western conventions of beauty and social normativity are worth conforming to. ALL patriarchal and regressive understandings of Islam surely need to be challenged , Islam states that all three of these womxn are free to exist as they have presented themselves- the problem is that some of us want to be accepted by a society that in itself is not perfect. Another problem is that some of us fail to see that other understandings of Islam are just as valid as ours, we are here to attain closeness with the almighty and to spread the wonders of our faith, you can choose to wear your hair open or not or to have no hair even- but our purpose as Muslims is the same: to be selfless and kind as well as devoted and humble .
How do they get a health card, pass port, drivers licence when they cover their face. Btw, I think the head dress and face covering looks offensive, and most muslims will tell you that it is not required in islam.
+SwordofManticorE Niqabis are somewhat obligated to show their faces for identification purposes. Preferably, they would want to show their faces to a woman, and that woman would vouch for them. I think there is a part in the Quran that a veiled woman must remove it in court if the judge orders you to do so. Besides, if they want to cover their faces, even their eyes, then they should have that choice.
Most muslims would argue with you. If they want to cover their face, let them do it in their own country. Not here. We are at war against terrorism and this is a security issue.
+SwordofManticorE They get them because no one dares question them. Maybe all Canadians should start doing the same thing.
+Anthony Yang Sounds sexist as fuck to me lol. Whats the difference between showing your face to a woman or a man. Last time I checked, there is no difference between female and male eyes in humans
+Anthony Yang Sounds sexist as fuck to me lol. Whats the difference between showing your face to a woman or a man. Last time I checked, there is no difference between female and male eyes in humans
That sister who is promoting no hijab is a perfect example of a modernist, feminist, rebellious woman.
i would never hire anyone wearing a veil. so much of communication is facial expressions and body movements and to me i wouldn't feel like i could trust anyone wearing a veil. Wearing a veil just separates you from everyone else and repels others away from you
Hijab is forced upon Muslim women by their Father, brother or husband, based on Sharia laws. At some point "old habits become hard to change" however, the issue of Muslim women wearing hijab/neqab in the West is simply to make statement. As if they are saying: "look at me I am the virtues".
What kinda dream world is the covered face girl in.
I would be surprised if she had any non Muslim friends.
The Pakistani lady is correct.
S Verdon She is not Pakistani, she lives in Canada she says so. My daughter is half Asian and half Norwegian. What does that make her ? She lives In Norway, she is Norwegian. Period.
Living in Canada doesn't mean one is a Canadian citizen. Do you get it?
