I am a very Catholic male. I think Muslim women are beautiful, Strong and powerful women. People that lack faith don't understand why we try to dress modestly. In fact, a man of faith loves women that are modest and respect their own sexuality. I believe that we can do this. We can go global and have global standards without infringing on local cultures. It really is a small world and there is no other way.
+Nabeel Barhe I have read it. I'm Christian. I have a personal relationship with the Blessed Trinity. God knows me personally and I dig it. It's about Love. If one says that they are of God and hate their brother, They are confused because God is LOVE
Mashallah! Rgeardless of whether we agree or not there is something that makes us all happy... there is a Muslimah sister speaking for herself (not the media).... It makes me proud! You go girl! I want to visit Qatar Inshallah...INSHALLAH!
An introduction to the new civilizations by Her Highness Sheikha Al Mayassa has worked beautifully in enriching progress in Qatar and creating beautiful relationships with other countries and participating companies thank Sheikha.
Laura Snip do you know why he said that? Because he is from the countries that Blockade qatar and they haaaatttee to see qatar as a successful country and the one of the most rich country in the world that make them feel so bad and they intend to say hate comments to let people think bad about us but every day we become a successful country and they become a backward country every day
@@fayalmarri227 yes u absolutely right.. I just see a lot of tamim's meetings in media.. am very proud of him.. I really don't know why arabic media even aljazeera in Arabic don't cover tamim's speeches!!.. He is the only arabic leader who talked & still talking about freedom & support arabic people's right to demonstrate for dignity.. It's very courage for him to continue by this great vision even thought the blockade of qatar.. May ALLAH Protect him & his country ❤️❤️❤️
i am a black american catholic by birth... and i do not want the loss of any culture on this palnet, thank you for keeping all of our cultures.. these things are more improtant than you think... how do we get knowledge if we only talk to ourselves in a mirror.. it works sometimes, but we need another point of view......if you are not afraid of what is true....... be well and thank you for this video,
Thank you Maddem. You are and your speech really an appreciate. Qatar is soo lucky to have such a wonderful and religious lady in the Royal Family. Faith is a faith. There is no bargain. Have a bless future to you Maddem
Interesting how globalization affects cultural clothing but also encourages it because people become more aware of other cultures and want to keep their own.
This video has so many dislikes because she's Muslim and wearing the Abaya. That's so ignorant. People are so quick to judge based on looks and religious beliefs, most of the time it's the adults that are screwing up. To the one person asking about why Muslims come here to America and change their names/styles - I have the same question for you, why do Christians convert to Islam and change their names? The women even wear the scarf and marry Muslim men! I know may that converted and are happy.
well Appreciated good speech the way she has Expressed her intellectual Thoughts beautifully.All about the cultural development in the world and national identity . She is really an intellectual lady and an outstanding Speaker by her smart Speaking Expressions all about her country development . The Muslims women are very strong and very beautiful in their smart expressions ..in a diversified ways ..Muslims women do believe in creativity and in innovation and love their rich culture with their national identity and integrity . I have deep inspiration by Muslims woman culture in a diversified ways with their unique life style ...by there country origin and national identities .. .. With my best wishes May Allah gives your more progress and successes .with Best Regards
I dont understand why most of the comments are about her religion & abaya when the whole video was about development in ones country and improving thier economic & social connections with the rest of the world why is the choice of her religion more of an important topic then the original concept of the video
people are stupid and want to impose their own biased opinions/standards on others, regardless of the topic at hand. to them, the fact that she's wearing the abaya is provocative enough. and even though she's stating it's within her own will that she wears it, they still need to point out that somehow that's not true and she's oppressed. Gold stuff really, apparently you're oppressed if you don't wear a bikini.. just ignore them, enjoy the video!
Mr a and za nab may want to learn to see a compliment when one is given. So much hate out there, and violence, I know, but not everything is meant negatively. It was a very lovely Ted talk indeed.
Let's build bridges between East and West Sheika Mayassa She is an awesome , creative and smart Princess Sheika Mayassa Thanks for your efforts to stabilize safety and security between East and West
People thumbing this down without even watching or contemplating the material... "Oh she's a muslim" "Oh she said 'globalization' in a sentence." You people need to grow up and grow out..of your cultural influences that clouds your minds and restrains your thinking.
there are many things in this world it is you who deside whether it will effect you in a good or bad way criticising her or talking bad of her will not give you any gold medals but coming out in the world & expressing herself has given her success in life so do that for yourself & be happy pls
This woman is free, intelligent, and her voice is not being repressed. If she wants to wear her traditional hijab, good for her. It does not necessarily symbolize sexism.
RESPECT. people in the qatar ,,,I think she gave an amazing speech 😎 impressive Muslims i am from pakistan i already gone qatar visit now i liveing crruntley in saudi arabia but my heart said need to go qatar in sacant time. this trute now qatar very good in earth
@IC1101 actually liking a culture that is predominately muslim without liking islam is completeley legitimate - I am Iranian and love the culture (much of it is actually pre-islamic) but that is separate from my feelings about the religion (although islam tends to be more intertwined with culture than most religions)
I really get her point. Living as an immigrant in the USA sometimes I feel this society push the American ideal to far. For a substantial minority of Americans expressing our own culture is an insult to them. I'm always hurt by what the press and Americans comment when Mexico's soccer team plays games in the USA. For this minority of Americans supporting a soccer team is a act of war and a reason to call for our heads. To make matter worst most Americans don't do but condone this attitude
My problem is not the want for unique culture, it is the pressure for others to accept these cultures. Also, in some cases, the forceful nature of some people within these cultures trying to forcefully indoctrine others into this culture.
I support anyone that helps more people to live good lives with as minimal as possible harm to others. If she is one of those people, she has my vote. one Problem is many of us are educated into having hyper emotional sensitivity and not being able to take a joke about what we believe in... thus creating more options for people to get hurt.
For crying out loud, the video isn't about religion and people are making comments about her appearance ._. It's not her fault she was born into a culture where women dress differently...
Wow, so many of these comments are so ethnocentric. The point she is trying to make is that Arab culture (or any culture) should not strive to be as Western as possible; rather there should be a reasonable give and take between all cultures whether Western or Arab or African or East Asian. While Arab culture may not be utopia, lets not pretend our Western culture is either.
could someone explain why this video has so many dislikes? I don't understand unless it's about what she's wearing which would make the viewers very superficial.
@MrRyanSF her first name is Al-Maisaa which means swagger in English. Shiekha is "from wiki" is an honorific in the Arabic language that literally means "elder" and carries the meaning "leader and/or governor.
@GluttonForSex My comment was simply trying to express the fact that the hijab has become a symbol of sexism as an aspect of the middle eastern culture, as opposed to a traditional garment. I am a woman, and a strong feminist. I admire women like Al Mayassa for wearing what she wants, just like madonna at the super bowl :p.
@foxxxin As an American, as a Westerner, you were born into a rich culture, a culture stemming from the heritages of a Latin, Celtic, Germanic, and Hellenic lineage. One based on Hellenistic philosophy, Scholasticism, Humanism, Scientific Revolution and Enlightenment. You live in a culture that uses rational arguments of free thought, human rights, equality and democracy unlike that which is quoted above in this video. cont ...
"Just like a Japanese woman and her kimono." There's no prefecture in Japan where women get harassed or targeted by the authorities for not wearing a kimono.
I am a very Catholic male. I think Muslim women are beautiful, Strong and powerful women. People that lack faith don't understand why we try to dress modestly. In fact, a man of faith loves women that are modest and respect their own sexuality. I believe that we can do this. We can go global and have global standards without infringing on local cultures.

you very good Christian with respect may I suggest you just read the noble quran

People must be mad saying that honor killings and stonings are not pro-women, it's just a tradition in Islam! How dare they have an opinion on that!
Thats shows the immaturity how to see the biggest picture.
She was Muslim right ,,,,,,,I think she gave an amazing speech 😎 impresive Muslims
Amy Gomzalez lmao so what? there are many educated muslims around the world...
By the way , this girl , is one of our queens , qatari queens
Amy Gomzalez so you say that muslims cant give amazing speeches? so bc someone is muslim its hard to see them have humanitarian values?
Mr a and za nab may want to learn to see a compliment when one is given. So much hate out there, and violence, I know, but not everything is meant negatively. It was a very lovely Ted talk indeed.
Amy Gomzalez She is the daughter of the former Emir (Ruler) of Qatar and the sister of the current Emir.
in the Gulf Qataris and Kuwaitis are by far more open minded than the rest ..bravo salutes from Tunisia
Chouchou Ccc 👏👏👏
فديتك يا قطر

You people need to grow up and grow out..of your cultural influences that clouds your minds and restrains your thinking.
I liked her last line that culture is an important aspect and we shouldn't ignore it as it can bring together eastern and western nations.
MashaALLAH ! Jazak ALLAH o Khrairan !
May ALLAH forgive us and grand us Jannat ul Firdaus = Paradise
there are many things in this world it is you who deside whether it will effect you in a good or bad way criticising her or talking bad of her will not give you any gold medals but coming out in the world & expressing herself has given her success in life so do that for yourself & be happy pls

Amazing speech & very important subject

بارك الله فيك دائما
Brilliant, thank you! :)
Awesome speech and proud to be Qatar
No suck at all. Heaven prepared for someone like them. You'll realize by the time comes & there's no turning back to the fragile world.
Qatar, where the speaker is from, is a very progressive nation. Women were given the right to vote way back in 1999!
thanks ! can we have more of middle eastern views so we can learn more about them - from their perspective for a change.
@jathgnos J.C. Penny?! That's a notch below Macy's, which in turn is below Bloomingdale's, which is a smidge below Sak's.
could someone explain why this video has so many dislikes? I don't understand unless it's about what she's wearing which would make the viewers very superficial.
Proud To Say am also one of the Qatari Resident.
this best talk
good start, there are many things which are not good. for eg. curtain rooms in restaurants , men wearing suits in other countries but girls not.
you are amazing human being. keep it up !
Well spoken and presented

You can, as long as it doesn't inconvenience people around you and if they're fine with it.
We have freedom to wear what we want underneath the bag we're required to wear.
