00:09:41.640 I always wonder what's underneath them.
00:09:43.640 Are you wearing jeans or a dress?
00:09:45.640 Yeah, I'm wearing jeans.
00:09:46.640 Yeah.
00:09:47.640 Um, just normal clothes.
00:09:48.640 I like fashion as well.
00:09:49.640 I did fashion in college.
00:09:50.640 All he does.
00:09:51.640 He's wearing shouts.
00:09:52.640 Mmm, but...
00:09:53.460 And I thought...
00:09:54.640 ...it looks like there's a Khôngoski.
00:09:55.640 Oh, see my father, you know.
00:09:56.640 He went to get it in.
00:09:57.640 Oh, daddy, let me want you, come on.
00:09:59.640 Father.

00:10:10.640 Hi, damn.
00:10:11.640 I used to vodka.
00:10:12.640 I'll sit and eat.
00:10:13.640 My friends will eat Checkman.
00:10:14.640 Because I'm going to bring out, Disney.
00:10:15.640 How I was 21 years olun down.
00:10:16.640 Do you know how old I am?
00:10:43.020 I'm 18
00:10:44.060 So yeah, I don't have a husband
00:10:46.060 My dad does not like it
00:10:48.280 So it's what I want to wear
00:10:49.740 Why do you want to?
00:10:51.020 Because I want to
00:10:51.720 Why do you want to?
00:10:52.880 For me, I lived a different life before
00:10:55.160 I had everything out
00:10:57.420 You know, everything out
00:10:58.960 And I found when I spoke to guys
00:11:01.320 The only thing
00:11:02.380 Yes, yes
00:11:03.580 That's all I'm getting
00:11:04.940 No respect, no one's listening to me
00:11:06.600 No one's engaging with my brain
00:11:07.780 I found like this
00:11:09.600 I have control over my own self
00:11:11.300 When you're speaking to me
00:11:12.320 When you judge me
00:11:13.480 Oh, she's stupid, is she nice
00:11:15.240 You're listening to my words
00:11:16.640 And to my brain
00:11:17.340 You're not judging me on how I physically
00:11:18.660 So for me, I found this
00:11:19.860 I find this like empowering
00:11:21.960 For me
00:11:22.780 Our volunteers approached you
00:11:24.800 I think they asked for the time
00:11:25.680 Or the direction
00:11:26.320 They asked for the direction
00:11:27.400 How do you feel
00:11:29.020 When you see a Muslim woman
00:11:30.860 Do you feel threatened?
00:11:32.040 Because obviously you know
00:11:32.640 There's a media perception
00:11:33.520 Do you feel a bit worried
00:11:34.560 Like what are they up to?
00:11:35.580 Or do you just see them
00:11:36.280 As normal individuals?
00:11:37.440 I think we're individuals
00:11:38.760 We're tourists
00:11:39.700 We don't live in London
00:11:40.560 So
00:11:41.120 Yeah, we're from the West Country
00:11:42.740 Where you don't see
00:11:43.820 An awful lot of Muslim people at all
00:11:45.520 So
00:11:45.800 But don't feel threatened at all
00:11:47.740 I just wanted to ask
00:11:48.780 What do you guys think
00:11:50.120 About what I'm wearing?
00:11:51.280 Like because of the news
00:11:52.180 And whatever
00:11:52.780 Or what you know
00:11:53.680 About going to different countries
00:11:54.940 What do you guys think
00:11:55.580 About what we were?
00:11:56.680 I don't like it
00:11:57.580 You don't like it?
00:11:58.240 No, I don't like it at all
00:11:59.180 Okay
00:11:59.480 I'm going to be
00:11:59.940 Sorry
00:12:00.280 No, no, no
00:12:00.620 I want you to be honest
00:12:01.280 Yeah, yeah, yeah
00:12:01.980 Yeah, please
00:12:03.600 I don't like it
00:12:04.600 Because I think
00:12:05.420 Women before us
00:12:07.480 Have fought a lot
00:12:09.260 For all our rights
00:12:10.340 And this is going back
00:12:12.300 To losing part of our rights
00:12:13.960 Okay
00:12:14.260 So that's what I think
00:12:15.600 Okay
00:12:16.000 Of course I respect you
00:12:16.900 It's your choice
00:12:17.460 Yeah, yeah, thank you
00:12:17.940 Where are you from?
00:12:19.060 Spain
00:12:19.380 Spain, okay
00:12:20.320 Spain
00:12:20.660 Did you know the
00:12:21.620 I'm talking about women's rights
00:12:23.140 And stuff like that
00:12:23.620 1,400 years ago
00:12:24.880 You know we believe
00:12:25.680 In the Prophet Muhammad
00:12:26.320 Yeah
00:12:26.900 Peace be upon him
00:12:27.460 At that time
00:12:28.140 People would like
00:12:28.680 Bury their daughters alive
00:12:29.720 And stuff like that
00:12:30.300 So at that time
00:12:31.220 When people were doing that
00:12:32.160 He would walk down the street
00:12:33.160 Holding his daughter's hand
00:12:34.140 When she came into the room
00:12:35.220 He would get up
00:12:35.760 And tell her to sit down there
00:12:36.720 And like the first university
00:12:38.000 Was for women
00:12:39.100 And it was by Muslims in Morocco
00:12:40.500 Okay guys
00:12:41.880 Well, welcome back
00:12:43.380 And as you saw for yourself guys
00:12:45.260 To be honest
00:12:46.100 We was there obviously
00:12:47.820 Recording with our team
00:12:49.660 And we witnessed
00:12:51.440 These kind of stuff
00:12:52.120 And how people were looking
00:12:53.040 But in all in all
00:12:54.420 And even though
00:12:54.900 That attack that took place
00:12:56.040 People looking really weird
00:12:57.320 Etc, etc
00:12:58.220 I think
00:12:58.920 In totality
00:13:00.500 Britain is not as Islamophobic
00:13:02.480 As we think
00:13:03.180 Because
00:13:03.660 Yes, we did get a few
00:13:05.820 Odd looks, etc
00:13:06.660 Here and there
00:13:07.500 But in total
00:13:08.500 Like I said before
00:13:09.520 I think Britain is really
00:13:10.760 Tolerant against Muslims
00:13:12.380 And I think it's those
00:13:13.220 Few individual bigots
00:13:14.640 Who obviously
00:13:15.400 As you know
00:13:15.960 In every black
00:13:16.560 In every community
00:13:17.880 There's black sheep
00:13:18.620 So obviously
00:13:19.680 I think
00:13:20.120 I'm just going to leave
00:13:20.640 That note
