Ramy Youssef: Feelings (2019) | Why Do They Make Her Wear That (Clip) | HBO
He touched something really deep, first he ddnt go the usual route of saying its her choice, because at this point we have been saying it for decades and they just dont want to listen. Its just the western world dont realise that they have a culture too, they just assume its reality and the status quo. And that everything else revolves around it and its crazy. Your culture can and does seem weird to outsiders, and thats okay. Just like our culture can and does seem weird to you. But we make the effort of understanding your culture and respecting it. You just go into let's assimilate them to our culture mode.
Hijab is religion not culture! Burkaa is.
Kenza B. not sure it’s really a choice but okay
@Darth Wiffy death cult? Hm I wonder why 2 billion muslims haven't eradicated every non muslim as of yet.
@Darth Wiffy Death cult is the USA being so gung ho about sending 18 year olds to foreign country's to die. Talk about how the USA wastes the lives of soldiers as well as kill 100 of thousands of innocent people over "the war on terror" before you talk about death cult you dipshit. Maybe if you had an inkling of self reflection you wouldn't be have to be spoonfed your viewpoints from Sam Harris
@@90blin19 There are cultural expectations placed on women in the west too. Whenever they bring it up or criticize it, you right wing cucks say "Feminism is destroying the west" or call them "Femnazis". The truth is you don't actually give a shit about women, you just want an excuse to bring down other cultures.
Love you ramy!
That joke was fire
How this man got his point across is absolute genius. Well done akhi.
i like egyptians out there rami malek, mo salah and now this man is brilliant
@Manroe Blokeof sir, maybe English isnt your native language, shall i translate for you?
@Manroe Blokeof the point clearly went right over your head if you think he's defending sexism
@Manroe Blokeof religiously conservative headdress is not sexist. Women actually choose to wear that which was the point of this video and it completely went over your head wow.
He is a genius, I am Muslim I swim, pray, in all religions there's respect for the way you dress
Jewish wear hijab in synagogue, and real Jewish their wives are vieled common
Religion means, love, kindness, forgiveness, purity....I respect all religions without being fanaticism...this is what he wanted to show....💙🙏🌈
This is what I tell people all the time, just because you can't understand it, doesn't mean it's wrong
except that argument falls apart when its with people who do understand it and realize its wrong.
Riaz Uddin
Same with Muslims
If you don’t understand why non Muslim girls wear what they wear , shut up and respect
Manroe Blokeof YOU’RE BRAIN DEAD 💀
M troll
@Tim Evans Well put. End of story.
“It wasn’t 100 degrees cuz they use Celsius”
Even after replaying this joke 5 times, I still get the impulse to laugh. He dodges the question by pretending to miss the point, then addresses the actual question. It’s a way of letting the person’s guard down before disagreeing with them respectfully. Absolute genius.
his low key attitude to everything is hilarious
Total attitude. I don't care for it actually . It's condescending
@@relativerust I agree, its called being passive-aggressive but these kids wouldn't know the difference.
Yeah😇
Nailed it...that's it for me....the low key approach! Love it!
i would suggest you people not going down the comment section. Have a good day!
thanks for the advice. I'll stop here.
Thank you. Seriously
Thx😘
I didn't see anything , the comments seems to be positive , it's just you !!!
Mohamed Ali Sidi Yahya look further before pointing your bloody fingers!!!
The woman in New York chose to wear short clothes in January, but the Arab woman did not choose to wear the hijab, she was forced to wear it from her family or from a society that was not her choice, so you are wrong
The cinematography is brilliant. Perfectly matches his unique style of delivery.
Also, the bright lighting over the audience making them visible and a part of the show made this even better.
I'd pay for this!
Ramy you are a genius, thank you very, this is the most rational comedy no one can construct this. God bless
This approach or perspective Ramy gave is so clever, he didn't bother explaining the whole concept behind how women wear in the middle east (specially Muslim women) but he just clarified that seeing different culture will always raise different questions
And he neglected to mention the women that don't choose to wear but have to wear because of the consequences. I would see insinistive and inconsiderate, rather than clever
@Shockheadd45 that is true to a degree. But that is not what he was discussing. He was saying that wearing the Hijab is the same as wearing a short skirt. It is like saying being pushed, and falling by yourself are the same thing!
It's oppressive, even if it's a choice. In many countries it really is forced by law, and if you've ever worn one, you know how uncomfortable it is. Not every woman wants to wear them. I enjoy wearing them in winter when it is cold out, or wearing a niqab in the summer when it's dry out and the sun is blasting on my face. But I don't want to wear them most of the time and it's always sliding off my head and I feel like I look like an egg.
Its not oppressive if its a choice. Makes no sense. A lot of women choose to and love to wear it. Islam never says to force anything. If anyone or any country is forcing anything, its not Islamic.
Literally never seen more cringeworthy comedy. Yikes.
I was born in the Middle East and live in America now. Trust me it's extremely oppressive in the Middle East.
Depends where you lived Im extremely comfortable here 😂😂
Muslim woman here...born into Islam & I proudly wear hijab. No one made/makes me wear it. Many Muslims born in America actually have the opposite issue, especially those who attend college. Literally had to fight my parents (right after 9/11) to wear it in middle school. They were afraid of bullying & rightfully so. The struggle however, made me a stronger and more proud Muslim. I have family overseas whose daughters don't wear hijab until they're teens. Ppl really have no clue of what it means & that MOST Muslim ladies wear completely by choice.
Mashallah may allah reward you
I am genuinely happy that you feel that way. You go girl!
This guy is hilarious!

@@saadiamahwish lol keep telling yourself that
@@_verah_7993 darling I wear it because I like wearing it, kindly don't theive my right to my freedom of choice and disrespect me by saying that. It's hurtful when y'all think a woman has a right to wear shorts but not a hijab 😵🤕😓😢
@@cutielol0 a person has the right to wear whatever they want to, you feel comfortable in a hijab fine but don't give people the bullshit that 'most choose to wear it'
Women are being forced to wear it and are being called hoes for not wearing it or being threatened with burning in hell. Being conditioned from a young age that showing hair is a sin. So just because you can choose doesn't mean 'others' have the same opinion
I love that he did this his standup special in this forum. I didn't even realize it was a stand-up show until I clicked. Ramy is one of my new fav comedians. He is naturally funny!
Both religion and modern fashion industry have patriarchal attitudes. It's not a simple thing.
At the of the day, in most if cultures, only woman get criticized by the way she dressed.
"Lets just move on with this thing" ... 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I just discovered Rami Youssef's talented stand up shows and I'm sooo impressed! Finally something we can relate to 100%
I come from a Muslim family and no it's not all coming from free choice. And it's also not always by force. All humanity faces the internal pressure to fit in and follow society's ideals norms and moral mapping. I would question how much of people's choices are coming from their own idividuality or from a notion in their head of who they are and what is right or wrong.
I believe we all have choice at the end of the day but I wonder how much choice a woman in oppressive or even just conservative environments actually has. I wouldn't say she has completely free choice when some choices are not as safe, accepted, and I would say dangerous at times for example to wear what you want if what you want is not to cover up.
So in semi conservative environments maybe nobody is forcing her to wear those things directly but she's backed into a corner and it can feel safer and more moral in the corner than out and after a while the corner becomes normal and familiar even to the women themselves.
I am a muslim girl too and I agree , sometimes it's not by choice not only like you stated above girls wear it cause it's safer and it's the only way they wouldn't be damned everytime they step out of the house but also sometimes girls are actually forced to wear it by their families and this happens quite a lot .
What are you saying??
@@Sarah-tw4ss Away from any family or social pressures, it is a question of your faith, do you think your God choice for you is the right one or yours is better!! If you answer this question with the second option, then your family and the society and the whole world do not deserve any effort to please them by hijab.
Super Salient points
Why did reading that make a lot of sense
Like i actually related to it wow
wait this actually made my day.
how many people reading this are muslim american? 🙋
Yo! 🧕🏻
Just because you don’t understand another culture doesn’t mean it’s wrong. For example I may not agree with female genital mutilation performed on young girls or even throwing homosexuals off of roofs, but that doesn’t mean those are bad things...that’s their culture and who are we to judge? And if you do you’re basically Islamophobe.
i just clicked to see whether anyone thinks he looks like ryan reynolds 😭😭
Omg I was looking for this comment XD
Honestly I like wearing the hijab not just for religious purposes it's kinda like my identity and its comfortable
exactly! the way women is sexualised and is given such unrealistic standards that is inhumane ! the way women "have" to be "hot" "slim" "tall " or watever that is destroying more lives nd u all know it! And u all r the ones doing it to her !
mybe at some point a woman should take a real stand not a Feminism BS kind of stand and defend her right to be considered as more than just a sexual being by not exposing her body 24/7 to gain some random man's approval instead of blaming a man!
This is a misleading argument, bc the assumption is that ALL western women are sexualized, when it's actually only a small percentage as compared to billions of soccer moms, business professionals, and college students who don't dress provocatively. The majority of women dress for comfort or to be presentable. It also assumes that a woman wanting to look "sexy" is a bad thing and not well within her right. But that's a mistake, most women just want to feel good in their own skin & there's nothing wrong with that. So if that means baring our skin, then this should be celebrated as an empowering thing. Just bc men interpret this sensuality as something "sexual", it shouldn't be a woman's primary concern. If men have a problem controlling their urges, then why is the burden on the female to accommodate men's inability to control themselves? Why are the men not burdened with the responsibility to respect women in SPITE of what women wear? The idea that it's the women's fault, or that she should adjust her entire appearance and comfort level for the benefit of men, is the REAL issue here. Whether that women CHOOSES to expose herself or to cover up, is not the central issue, the issue is the force driving that decision. If women are covering themselves for the benefit of men, that is as equally problematic as women exposing their bodies to benefit men.
Both circumstances reduce the woman's autonomy. Culture be damned, no woman should have to conform to represent herself in any way that is motivated by improving the experience & comfort of men. A women shouldn't have to change her identity to be something she's not. Self-expression is very important to women, and if that's stifled by attire that is too revealing or too obstructing/confining, then she becomes less of herself. Both cultures are problematic, bc the question "Why do you make her dress like that?" reveals an underlying truth we're not addressing: Women are dressed by the compulsory demands placed on them by men of their society. This is a cultural issue that needs to be fixed. And don't give me the spiel of "Muslim women choose to wear hijab". No, not when Muslim society throws acid on women, punishes women, and has a cultural disdain & lower opinion of those who don't wear it. I grew up in a Muslim culture in the USA, so I know it firsthand and yes this perspective exists here in the States. Muslim women in America AND the Middle East are inculcated from a young age to uphold modesty as a virtue, & to affiliate nudity with shame. But we're all born nude, it's our natural state. Body shame is a man-made idea, and has no real presence in the natural world.
In fact, biologically, we are designed to be nude. Our skin need exposure for temperature regulation, Vit D absorption, oxygen & CO2 gas exchange, and to filter out sweat & waste. Why would a God who designed the body to be exposed, require covering it? The answer: God does not require it. The word hijab figuratively means modesty, but there's no language in the Quran that expects women to wear a head-covering or burqa. In fact, the only reason this was expected of the women during the Prophets time, is bc this was how the higher class Quraysh women dressed, and it reduced harassment of the Muslim wives of Prophet Muhammad at night. It is a cultural dress, but it was never meant to be compulsory or religious. Yet here we are. It never made sense to me that a genderless & formless deity would ever be preoccupied by the human form. It's odd that a creator of a massive & mind-blowing limitless universe would ever be concerned about inconsequential things, like what us tiny beings (on a speck-sized world, in the corner of a teeny weeny galaxy) are doing with our body parts. That's gotta be one very bored God. Apparently the universe's magnanimous wonders are no match for penises sneaking into buttholes.
@@YourMajesty143 yes its a womens choice to cover up or show her skin . So it is only a womens choice to wear hijab too! *just Respect each others decision*. Jus know.. not all muslim women wear hijab becos they r forced by some force . some embrace it ..like my own self.
@@ramlabeegam6683 - No, and here's why. A woman in a skirt isn't threatened with punishment in order to wear it. There is no scripture or book ordering her to dress like that. The choice to wear hijab isn't a personal choice, it's a choice a woman makes out of fear and obedience, bc she's being compelled by scripture and by culture. Majority of women who wear hijab do so against their will, or under the false pretense of reward for doing---or the opposite, they wear it to avoid the pretense of punishment. That punishment can occur on Earth or after Death. And it's not like hijab protects a woman's virtue. Hijabis are cat-called, harassed, and raped just as much as Western women. Again, the problem isn't the women, it's the men---yet we place the burden on the woman to "correct" her behavior, even though women aren't the issue in the 1st place. Most women wear hijab bc they're expected to, or bc they think it elevates their value. And these are ideas put in their head by their religion. I grew up as a Muslim, and I experienced this firsthand. We like to pretend that Islam is perfect, but in actuality it is incredibly flawed. But we undergo a cognitive dissonance where we convince ourselves that the things we're taught are "valid". A Muslim woman will buy into the lie that her value resides in her purity & modesty. Purity means nothing other than what we assign to be pure. Nudity should be assigned purity bc as innocent newborns, we are born naked---yet we're told the lie that our exposed flesh is haram. We also ignore the biological function of nudity. And we're told that virginity & hymens are signs of virtue, but this means very little, since not every woman is born with a hymen and there's no way to tell if a man had lost his virginity. The idea of a Virgin being valuable stems from man's egotistical nature, and his need to possess a woman untouched by other competing men (who he doesn't want to be compared to). It's all nonsense. Muslims hardly question the double standards of Islam, bc we're taught not to challenge our beliefs. I mean, sure we can ask questions, but we're not supposed to doubt the shitty answers we're given. And that's why Muslims need to progress & modernize Islam to reflect the modern era.
@@YourMajesty143 i understand if u dont agree . But please respect each humans decision. Personal choices . And dnt evr thnk jus becos they chose to wear hijab ..that they are stupid ! Respect fellow humans!
Hahaha. Im such a fan of this guy's delivery. Boy's supertalented.
That was a straight up legit dissection. Different and insightful.
Many angry xenophobes in the comment section, just because this guy punctured wholes in their argument - It is true whether you like it or not: "The world doesn't revolve around your values and how you see the world". Many who argue that Muslim women shouldn't wear hijab don't have the best interest of women at heart, their opinion is based on hate seeing other cultures living in their city. Mexicans for example don't wear hijab, yet there are many like Trump who hate them simply because they speak Spanish or they have different culture. Racists will always hide their argument in a way that doesn't seem racist, xenophobia or discriminatory: "Oh... Muslim women are oppressed - I don't like seeing them wearing that towel on their head in my town".
The huge difference is that in Europe every woman can decides for herself to wear a hijab or a short skirt... The hijab is a male dominant concept to keep the women as housewives and as citizens with limited rights
I'm not going to pretend not not espouse a viewpoint for the right reasons just because some bigot somewhere espouses it for the wrong reasons.
@@MrMartEden according to many racists and xenophobic people women can't wear hijab. Most Muslim women wear hijab on their own decision, yet in the West some people don't like seeing them in hijab. So what is the choice you are talking about? The choice in the West like France is either dress like I say or leave my country. Where is the choice you are talking about? One question: can women wear burka in France? NO. Can women walk in bikini in France on the street? YES.

"just because you don't get it doesn't mean it's oppressive" this is the whole point 👏
Got be real ramy has influenced me to go into this business he’s incredibly talented and a great role model in the Muslim community :)
In New York women aren't "forced by law" to wear short skirts and dresses in the cold. In the Middle East women are "forced" to wear a Hijab. In some countries, it's criminalized and u get lashed if you don't wear it, in other countries where you're "free by law" you get beaten by your husband/brother/father/mother if you don't wear it, and in the most moderate countries where you have women who just don't wear hijabs, you can't wear a skirt or a sleeveless shirt cuz if you do you get sexually harassed and they blame it on you not wearing a hijab. Say the damn truth already. It's not a matter of what women wear, it's a matter of women's freedom. Women in the US aren't harmed as much for their choices.
@@thedude4611 that's the thing right there! When you talk about women wearing a hijab, you say it shouldn't be outlawed and it's free will, but when you talk about women wearing makeup or tight clothing, you call it bullshit and not free will. You can't see that other people think differently from the way you do. Free will doesn't depend on doing the right thing according to your religious or social views.
@@thedude4611 it's ok, but I can't agree
The way he came to the point without actually telling it..is pure genius.
Wearing cloths on your head and your body is smart in extreme heat, especially white cloth
TheSmilingVagrantsOfficial what was a sure culture thing Saudi Arabia and their Wahabisim made it into a must for all Muslim women (not men) to wear in order to be a “complete Muslim”
Why is black the preferred color for Islamic modesty garb then? Why don't men also wear it -- are they not also vulnerable to extreme heat?? And why the exception for wearing it around women or mahram males -- do the effects of extreme heat magically get suspended in their company? Why wear it indoors then? Why is your argument so full of holes?
@@SohanDsouza have you ever seen male dress over there? It is very much covering the whole body and obviousely there are different clothes for men and women!
Oof...that first joke about wearing a hijab is not well constructed. There are countries where it is required for women to wear hijabs. In fact, there are protests, by women, that do not agree with the practice. And comparing that to how a young woman dresses on a date in the US doesn't work. They're two entirely different things and can't be judged as if they're the same thing. And kind of a cheap shot about the woman saying it was 100 degrees, that's low-hanging fruit. To me, her mistake was in asking, "Why do you make her wear that?" Like he has any say so in what women in other countries are forced, or choose, to wear. He's a great comedian, talented, smart, sensitive. I loved the HBO special "More Feelings." I guess I've just come to expect more of him.
I love his comedic timing
I got to be Ramy's stand-in for this special. Super funny dude & nice fella
Just because you don’t get it doesn’t mean it’s oppressive..
Except for one woman if she doesn’t “choose” to wear what is mandatory for her she’ll have endless troubles in her culture. And for the other it is entirely personal choice. She can change her mind the next day and choose warmth. Pretending the two scenarios are equal is evil.
I'd rather see a woman with full clothing than wearing barely any like in the western usually do, I get it, it's a cultural thing but going to a mall with only bras and short shorts? ... and then blame men if they take a good look on you? lol what a joke.
Western beauty standards are unrealistic. That said, comparing those to the laws of Iran and Saudi Arabia is non-equivalent.
exactly
And the sum of all Muslim countries that make people (men and women by the way) wear some kinds of clothes are very small compared with the Muslim countries that you wear whatever you want ... and why don't people mind there own business and let every culture do what they want
Every country in the world has some kind of laws on the maximum amount of skin you can reveal in public, in most western countries the limit of modesty is a bikini, if a women shows more than that she might be breaking the law, and she will be definitely breaking the social norms. But how did western societies decide this limit of modesty? what was the logic behind that? the answer is non, it’s purely cultural. so why should Iran and Saudi arabia be held by your cultural standard of modesty? that’s said, the vast majority of muslim countries don’t force any kind of dress code, yet most people choose to dress modestly because of social norms, and yet many westerners look at that and say, it can’t be really a choice if their religion say they will be sinning if they didn’t dress modestly. But what is the difference between a dress code that is enforced in a culture through religious beliefs and a dress code that is enforced through media beauty standards?
Actually a lot of women choose to cover the whole body while some places it is a custom.
Best comic ever!
I am an American Muslim who lived in Jordan 10 years, this is exactly how my family and friends are exactly! He gets it, comedy closes gaps!!! He is going places!
I wear a hijab not a scarf a full hijab because I believe in Allah, I trust Allah and when you trust someone you really really trust him, you know he's telling you to do that for your own good
For Muslims like me Allah is the one who made us! And we serve nothing to him we litterly can't Benefit him nore we can harm him, otherwise he can do whatever he wants he could bless us in a millisecond or curse us in another, so really, whether I wear a hijab or not, Allah can't be harmed or blessed, the only one who's gonna get a positive or a negative outcome of whatever I choose to do is ME! only me.
Also a lot of people think it is because women in Islam are considered a shame, they cover themselves up, NO! Do you ever see a unique pearl outside just like that without a cover and protection? No, that's right, that's how Islam considers women to be (now I said the Islam and not the society people! don't mistake these two words ever.)
Also, in Muslim countries usually we don't find that much of insecurities especially about women's body, and you already guessed why, also I'm not gonna hide the fact that this is increasing because of how far we got from our religion it is truly shameful to see that some Muslims only have the name of Islam they have no faith still they get to speak in medias about something the don't really know nore they understand.
So please don't tell lies about my peaceful sweet religion, and if you do not believe me go read about the prophet Muhammed, read the Quran, you could read about any prophet (but the real story not the lies)
I love you and respect you whatever your religion is, and I would love to expect the same thing from you, not acceptance I don't need it Tbh but I could use some respect, and if you're ignorant about something ask questions, don't make assumptions.

Hahaha, nice analogy. But a flawed one. One is because a religious text say so, the other one is societal. Society changes with time but religion stays the same. Huge difference.
InspiredToday this is stand up comedy.
@@D-Dollie That doesn't mean it can't make valid points. Sadly, this one doesn't.
Hijab is mainly societal and cultural. Many Muslim women don't believe it's required as the quranic text states to "cover your adornments" and that could be interpreted in many ways. There are 2 verses in the quran that provides a dress code for a woman and the interpretation is debated amoungst Muslims.
Its completely untrue that religion doesnt change over time. It does like any other social institution.
@@cadr003 Oh, yes they do. But Islam didn't change in this aspect. Did it?
Thank you for making this more clear to people 👏
I get what you’re trying to do and I applaud you but you know and I know that there are thousands and thousands of girls who wear the hijab because they are made to wear it and not because they’re wearing it by choice. Making it sound like it’s ludicrous that hijabi women are forced to wear the hijab is ludicrous in itself.
'Thousands and thousands', huh? So how many do you know? Loll

Yeah, right. As if women who choose not to wear hijab do not get harassed regularly for not wearing it; either by random people on the streets or by their own families. As if women who used to wear hijab and decide to take it off are not frowned upon and harassed by the majority of society. You don't know how it is in the middle East; what are you talking about?
You're familiar with the light version of Islam, I get it. But that is just not the true face of it, I'm sorry.

My favorite comic right now.
‘Just because you don’t get it, doesn’t mean it’s oppressive’
I like what Rami is saying, his heart is in the right place on this. Although, the Hijab is slightly tricky to understand anyway perhaps because of the way Islam offers spiritual relief and consequently can reside in people’s brokenness, primitiveness and fearfulness where one can be part of something she doesn’t have to understand. Literally.
In such a primitive society where you cannot have yourself, it’s very hard to be spiritual but it works out in the end I guess. Islam in its self will not let you get any further spiritually unless you shed some skin. It’s the sincerity of the intention that determines your place with Allah basically. If you want some, understand some 🤣
Manroe Blokeof
I can’t relate, you’re speaking a totally different language. Sorry no sorry.
Love the Hijab, if it rubs you bad you’ll have to learn to live with that, it ain’t going anywhere!

Manroe Blokeof is hijab is oppressive why do muslim girls in America choose to wear it? why do some top Muslim feminist wears it? what you wear has nothing to do with race and sexism. Personality matters though.

Yeahhh, not the same. Any scoial consequences for the girl with the short skirt, if she had worn a longer skirt? Obviously no, but on the other hand there is a social pressure system for not waering a Hijab. And I know that from expereince.
@The Spammons 😬I feel you are being passive aggressive
@The Spammons 😱 are you honestly blaming the victim of a disgusting act and not the
perpetrator??!!!!!!😞😞😞😞😞😞
@The Spammons cool. I see you are good at copy and paste 👍🏻
@The Spammons I guess you are back tracking now. Cool.
@The Spammons I am not sure if you understand that you are being offensive??!!!!
How can he not blick in so long time?
I’m a girl from what you call the Middle East and it’s around 50 degrees out here and I’m all covered from head to toe and I won’t have it any other way. I mean what I wear not the weather.. it would be great if it’s a little cooler in summer tbh :)
What really bugs me though is people thousands of miles away worrying about what women from DIFFERENT cultures wear??
What women from DIFFERENT cultures do??
How women from DIFFERENT cultures live their lives??
If we’re happy why can’t they let us be??
Seriously... that’s what I really wanna know... WHY CAN’T THEY LET US BE?
100% agreed to let you be. But you will see many women in hijab on flights departing some conservative middle east countries take it off as soon as the plane leaves.
Anyone here from the UK? How can we support Ramy from over here?
Islam is the word of god
Where are you getting this from?
yes, but only to those who wish to believe in it.
@chocobonita you would look dumb when u die and u find out there's a God
stfu
@@PablitaPicasita just another stupid parrot, Islam is what civilized Europe through Al-Andalus. In fact you was the barbarian and despite of your elegant brandy outfit your soul is still.
Thanks to our covered clothing we can minimize sun damage to our skin. Don't have to apply sunscreen everytime. Just because you americans wear revealing cloths doesn't mean i have to do so. Women don't have to wear short clothing to be called attractive, but if you prefer to dress that way then go on.
Jesus doesn't want women dressing seductively either.
Great comment! Look at what his mother wore.
THIS GUY IS A GENIUS WTF?
or managed in a joke deminish the struggles and bullying of a lot of women
The fact the he thinks this is a sound argument to the question the woman asked him. Lol. They DO make us wear that here in middle east or at least most countries and we do NOT have a choice to do otherwise or even wear a short dress in the winter to look nice.
If he’d defended women wearing hijab in the US and other similar places i’d understand cause it’d be most likely the womans choice. But not here.
This is a false equivalence. The girls parents did not advice her to wear skimpy clothes in winter, unlike how hijab works. However I have no issues with hijab. It's an accessory. But Burqha and Niqab, which conceals someone's identity, smile and individuality - that is not the world I want to be in. Others may differ.
Islamic propaganda
This is the best critical thoughts on hijab and muslim clothing until now......The best......may allah guide morr and more young muslims
@Raging Red from which side are you speaking.......
ياكرهي للعرب المسلمين الي متشبعين حريه ويقدرون يشربون ويكفرون بعد اذا بغوا ولا احد بيقولهم شيء لانهم بدولهم ديموقراطيه ويجونك بكل منصه عندهم بالغرب ويلمعون للاضطهاد الي يعانون منه المسلمين العرب بالدول العربيه وخصوصا النساء ويقولون بكل سهوله "it’s not that bad” وهم مايعرفون معاناتنا ولا قد عاشوا زينا عمى يعميييهم 🤢🤢🤢
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 You’re hilarious Ramy ♥️ good one to the point 👌🏼👍🏼
Good and funny answer, it's not easy to compine these two together in an answer.
To make the answer more complete, Muslims pray, wear the hijab, do good deeds, avoiding sins, and etc not just because there's some health beneficials, also because they believe there's a purpose for this life, and not some random purpose, skipping details and jumping to the answer they believe that this life is nothing more than a test, we don't just die then there's nothing
As those whom do good deeds will be rewarded, and those whom do bad stuff will be retributed, as no one can escape from hurting a human being or even animals in any way.
I think that sums the most important reason.
...this has not aged well. Great show though
As long as it’s the woman’s choice to wear whatever she wants, cool. But to gloss over patriarchal control misses the point completely.
Where’s the Muslim women’s comedy special, HBO??
hes not presenting the muslim women's perspective, but the muslim perspective in general
its comedy not a paper on cultural/religious differences...
Brew-n Stew Relax mate.
He wears a hat cause he is balding 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Need more of this
Tho it's true. This clip was hilarious 😂
A new soft salafist
The only coutry that mandate Hijab are Iran and Saudi Arabia, other Muslim countries do not, but if you see one, that is because of choice. I hate to play this 'choice' card but it's just the truth.
You're 100% correct. But then you have other Muslim majority countries like Qatar and Sudan impose decency regulations. Then you hear about women being flogged by government officials for wearing trousers. Those laws are disturbing.
I think the more interesting conversation concerns how only some Muslims and Muslim governments believe strict dress codes are codified in religious writings, while many others believe strict dress codes are violations of religious writings.
I suppose though it's pretty hard to make jokes about exegesis.
It’s not only choice though, many girls/women feel pressured from family. There’s a cultural aspect too.
Not funny..
Beautifully put and damn funny. Thank you!
Okay he said if u dont understand it doesnt mean its wrong...lemme help u understand ISLAM DOESNT MAKE U DO ANYTHING....IT GUIDES U TO WEQR A HEAD SCARF SO THAT U ARE PROTECTED FROM PIGS THAT WANNA EAT WITH THEIR EYES. IF U DONT WANT TO WEAR IT THERE WILL BE PUNISHMENT ON THE JUDGMENT DAY thats all. Its not only with women men arent allowed to wear skin tight clothes either....men cant just put on the underwear and walk out...if u think u know something about islam and its condescending or sexist to women then talk to somone who knows islam let them explain it to u dont assume u know the whole thing
Genius
Damnnnnn💯❤️
One of the best comedians I have seen in a long time! He kinda makes me feel guilty for laughing but I love him for for having the ability of taking uncomfortable situations and making you laugh-promotes healing
Aurora Atl promotes healing ? what in the fuck
He’s really good 😄👏🏾👏🏾
The difference is that by law the muslim woman will face harsh punishment for disobeying dress laws, she’s not just going to get cold. Nice false equivalency Ramy, too bad it just isn’t funny. Sharia law is nothing to joke about.
Being an apologist for the inherent misogyny that pretty much all monistic religions contain is sad, being of Palestinian decent and wholeheartedly appreciate the concept of oppression yet pretend Hijab is a matter of choice for all Muslim women, looking away from what’s happening in Iran and Afghanistan and the draconian oppression against women that going on in those countries, ignoring how the Islamic Sharia Law mandates all Muslim women to wear hijab even if the law of the land doesn’t, therefore making anyone who rebels an outcast is criminal. Don’t get me wrong neither Christianity nor Judaism if practiced by their books are any better hence the division of church and state and cultural secularization has enabled women to regain their voice. Your date CHOSE to wear what she wore btw.
hijab is hardly the problem with islam, its dogma and totalitarian authoritarianism, divide(muslim vs kafir), homophobia and actual subjugation of women. like keeping them home or a full blown ninja burqa, i mean is he implying people dont wear scarfs when its cold for its practical use Ofcourse a scarf is handy in some instances.. ofcourse in terms of practicality a burqa would be awesome for a sandstorm.....so he is confusing practicality with western being women choosing whatever they want....no matter how many jokes he makes in his dialogue theres are still women being forced to do things that arent exactly dignified
My Mom 54 yrs and my big sister 26 yrs old don't wear headscarf but my little sister 19 yrs old does and we live in second largest muslim country Pakistan ..
The difference is that no one is obligated by law or tortured/punished by their family and society for covering themselves and wearing ‘modest’ clothes, whereas in certain parts of the world these women are actually obligated and forced to cover themselves, they don’t have a choice. Sure, many of these women cover themselves at their own will however I know MANY, infact most girls I know who cover themselves do it because of the pressure they get from their families and community even in a western country and back where I’m from which is a muslim majority country. I know so many girls who are abused and tortured if they refuse to cover and disowned by their families. Which is why there are people concerned about this issue. The situations he described are not the same at all, they don’t have the same significance.
It's sadly not the case in Iran dear Ramy. It forced upon women to wear Hijab no matter what degree it is. Also, as long as it is a choice, your date or a woman in the Middle East are equal. It's not always a choice.
