00:00:00.000 Islam is free from this. This has nothing to do with Islam. I want to make that clear.
00:00:04.000 We want a country that hijab is not compulsive.
00:00:11.000 Islamnet is establishing a masjid and a community center.
00:00:14.000 If you donate to build this masjid, Allah will inshallah build a house for you in Jannah with bricks of gold and silver. 0.57
00:00:20.000 Every person who prays in this masjid, every child that memorizes the Quran, you will inshallah share in that reward.
00:00:26.000 Donate now guys and do not delay.
00:00:28.000 Sister, what's your name? My name is Ali. Just formulate it.
00:00:31.000 My name is Ali as well. What's the problem?
00:00:34.000 Sister Ali. Okay, no problem.
00:00:35.000 You don't need to know my gender.
00:00:37.000 No, no, no. I have respect.
00:00:40.000 Don't call me sister. Okay? Go on.
00:00:42.000 What can I call you? I have respect.
00:00:44.000 You don't need to call me.
00:00:45.000 How am I going to refer to you?
00:00:47.000 Can I say madam? Okay, thank you.
00:00:49.000 Okay, okay. Firstly, let's talk about what's important in her life, which was taken.
00:00:55.000 Yes?
00:00:56.000 The life of this, yeah?
00:00:58.000 And many more.
00:00:59.000 And many more. Okay, let's talk about that. I think that's really important.
00:01:02.000 The thing I'm just a little bit confused about before I come to this, her name was Mahsa?
00:01:07.000 Yeah, Mahsa.
00:01:08.000 Okay, okay. So firstly, we acknowledge that, I'm a Muslim by the way. I came to Islam 10 years ago.
00:01:13.000 My family is, my dad's atheist agnostic.
00:01:16.000 Just to give you an idea, I was born Muslim, but I'm not Muslim anymore.
00:01:19.000 Okay, so I came to Islam.
00:01:20.000 I decided not to be a Muslim. 0.98
00:01:21.000 Okay, I came to Islam, you left Islam. 0.99
00:01:23.000 I don't need to know your religion. I equally respect everyone's opinion, regardless of their religion.
00:01:28.000 Yeah, yeah.
00:01:29.000 You don't need to explain anything to me.
00:01:31.000 Okay.
00:01:32.000 Get to the point.
00:01:33.000 Okay, so if I can just get to the point, please, yeah?
00:01:34.000 So the point is, number one, that she was killed. What I saw, by the way, I don't know much.
00:01:39.000 If you can educate me, I'll be happy.
00:01:41.000 Yeah.
00:01:42.000 No problem, you are talking more than us. 0.99
00:01:45.000 Just shut the face. 1.00
00:01:46.000 Shut the face. 0.96
00:01:47.000 Let us tell you what happened. 0.98
00:01:48.000 That's why I came.
00:01:49.000 You don't have enough information.
00:01:50.000 That's correct.
00:01:51.000 We have information.
00:01:52.000 That's why I came to you.
00:01:53.000 That's why I came to you.
00:01:54.000 That's why I came to you.
00:01:56.000 That's why I came to you.
00:01:57.000 We respect you.
00:01:58.000 You are talking more than us.
00:02:00.000 No, no, no.
00:02:01.000 I'm Parisian too.
00:02:02.000 I want to learn.
00:02:03.000 I came here to learn.
00:02:04.000 I'm not talking.
00:02:05.000 Tell me.
00:02:06.000 Yes.
00:02:07.000 We have a dictator.
00:02:08.000 Okay.
00:02:09.000 Okay. 1.00
00:02:10.000 We believe that he's using Islam as a tool to kill people. 1.00
00:02:13.000 Okay. 0.99
00:02:14.000 We don't care that what religion people have. 1.00
00:02:17.000 Okay.
00:02:18.000 People in Iran can have many religions, whatever that they like.
00:02:21.000 Okay.
00:02:22.000 They can be Christians. 0.57
00:02:23.000 They can be Muslims.
00:02:24.000 They can choose whatever that they like. 0.99
00:02:26.000 But imposing and using a tool, using religion as a tool and forcing it on people and killing 0.99
00:02:33.000 people in the name of it, that is wrong.
00:02:36.000 That is so wrong that we don't need even to talk about it.
00:02:40.000 This girl was with her brother.
00:02:43.000 Okay.
00:02:44.000 Okay.
00:02:45.000 She was wearing something that I believe and many people believe that was absolutely
00:02:51.000 normal.
00:02:52.000 Okay.
00:02:53.000 She wasn't without a scarf.
00:02:54.000 Yeah.
00:02:55.000 She was having a normal.
00:02:56.000 Yeah.
00:02:57.000 But she was kept by the police and then morality police.
00:03:03.000 Separated them.
00:03:04.000 Separated them.
00:03:05.000 With her brother.
00:03:06.000 With her brother.
00:03:07.000 With her brother.
00:03:08.000 Separated from the sister.
00:03:09.000 Yes.
00:03:10.000 Forcefully.
00:03:11.000 Forcefully. 0.78
00:03:12.000 And then murdered the sister. 0.71
00:03:13.000 They murdered him. 0.52
00:03:14.000 Okay.
00:03:15.000 How do you think that brother is feeling now?
00:03:16.000 Just imagine you have a sister.
00:03:17.000 That was my sister. 0.58
00:03:18.000 Yes.
00:03:19.000 Yes.
00:03:20.000 With her.
00:03:21.000 Going to another city.
00:03:22.000 Yeah.
00:03:23.000 Imagine that you just go to another city.
00:03:24.000 Yeah.
00:03:25.000 And then they keep your sister.
00:03:28.000 Yes.
00:03:29.000 And then after few hours, they give you someone that is going to die in the hospital three
00:03:35.000 days later.
00:03:36.000 Just imagine how her brother is feeling now.
00:03:39.000 That's not.
00:03:40.000 If it was my sister.
00:03:41.000 If it was my sister.
00:03:42.000 I would be very angry.
00:03:43.000 I would do more than that.
00:03:44.000 You know.
00:03:45.000 Most of the opinion I hear from my Muslim brothers.
00:03:48.000 Yes.
00:03:49.000 Is based on their assumption and interpretation of Islam.
00:03:52.000 What in Iran.
00:03:53.000 Islam is a political brand.
00:03:55.000 Yes.
00:03:56.000 Shia. 0.87
00:03:57.000 Shia. 0.87
00:03:58.000 Shia is their political brand.
00:04:00.000 Yes.
00:04:01.000 To brutally suppress any other thought.
00:04:04.000 Okay.
00:04:05.000 Any other movement in that society.
00:04:07.000 When they put this tag as an Islamic state or Islamic country on Iran.
00:04:12.000 Yeah.
00:04:13.000 It doesn't reflect true nature of the society.
00:04:15.000 It's their brand.
00:04:16.000 Yes.
00:04:17.000 Okay.
00:04:18.000 Proposing it on everyone.
00:04:19.000 No matter what they think.
00:04:21.000 That's.
00:04:22.000 That's what.
00:04:23.000 That.
00:04:24.000 That's why people are now on the street.
00:04:25.000 Uh.
00:04:26.000 Fighting.
00:04:27.000 Protesting.
00:04:28.000 Protesting and fighting for freedom.
00:04:29.000 Yeah.
00:04:30.000 Okay.
00:04:31.000 Because they aren't happy with this totalitarian system.
00:04:33.000 Okay.
00:04:34.000 I saw a video.
00:04:35.000 Please educate me.
00:04:36.000 I'm here to be educated.
00:04:37.000 Um.
00:04:38.000 Where she.
00:04:39.000 Is that in hospital or police custody when she falls.
00:04:40.000 And she.
00:04:41.000 Yeah.
00:04:42.000 Where did that happen?
00:04:43.000 I don't know.
00:04:44.000 Okay.
00:04:45.000 So in police custody she collapses.
00:04:46.000 Yes.
00:04:47.000 Yes.
00:04:48.000 Because.
00:04:49.000 Because.
00:04:50.000 Before that.
00:04:51.000 It cracked her skull open. 0.86
00:04:52.000 So before that she was.
00:04:54.000 She had a. 0.80
00:04:55.000 Um.
00:04:56.000 Um.
00:04:57.000 Attacked her.
00:04:58.000 Yes.
00:04:59.000 She took her in custody.
00:05:00.000 Okay.
00:05:01.000 And brutally. 1.00
00:05:02.000 Beat her up. 1.00
00:05:03.000 Beat her up. 0.99
00:05:04.000 Okay. 0.90
00:05:05.000 To the point that it cracked her skull open.
00:05:06.000 Okay.
00:05:07.000 Then later on in the police station.
00:05:08.000 Yeah.
00:05:09.000 Because of the.
00:05:10.000 The injury.
00:05:11.000 Hemorrhage.
00:05:12.000 In her.
00:05:13.000 In her.
00:05:14.000 Brain.
00:05:15.000 Brain yeah.
00:05:16.000 She collapses and passes away.
00:05:17.000 Okay.
00:05:18.000 And they don't tell you the entire story.
00:05:19.000 Okay.
00:05:20.000 Who puts a lot of focus on that footage only.
00:05:22.000 Okay.
00:05:23.000 They say okay it was.
00:05:24.000 Because of natural causes.
00:05:25.000 But that's.
00:05:26.000 Yeah that's what they were saying.
00:05:27.000 Listen to her.
00:05:28.000 Yeah.
00:05:29.000 Listen to her brother.
00:05:30.000 Yeah.
00:05:31.000 They are very brave.
00:05:32.000 And they're talking.
00:05:33.000 And they ask so many.
00:05:34.000 Questions.
00:05:35.000 Okay.
00:05:36.000 But why the government is not.
00:05:37.000 Answering those questions.
00:05:38.000 And if you want to.
00:05:39.000 Actually feel the brothers.
00:05:40.000 If you have a sister.
00:05:41.000 Yes.
00:05:42.000 She's wearing her job.
00:05:43.000 Yeah.
00:05:44.000 Just imagine in here.
00:05:45.000 Someone take her. 1.00
00:05:46.000 Yeah.
00:05:47.000 Imagine the police starts after your sister.
00:05:48.000 You know.
00:05:49.000 Because she has the job.
00:05:51.000 It's the same feeling.
00:05:52.000 Yeah.
00:05:53.000 It's not right.
00:05:54.000 Okay.
00:05:55.000 So as.
00:05:56.000 I've listened to you guys.
00:05:57.000 Like I didn't know some stuff.
00:05:58.000 I really appreciate.
00:05:59.000 Thank you for crowdfunding for me.
00:06:00.000 As a Muslim man.
00:06:01.000 Um.
00:06:02.000 What's that?
00:06:03.000 Number one.
00:06:04.000 I'm against the whole regime of Iran. 0.99
00:06:05.000 Period.
00:06:06.000 Like as Muslims. 1.00
00:06:07.000 The Sunni Muslims were against that anyways.
00:06:08.000 And number two.
00:06:09.000 In Islam. 0.99
00:06:10.000 Actually to take a life. 0.95
00:06:11.000 Like there is no prescribed punishment.
00:06:12.000 For someone not wearing a hijab.
00:06:13.000 Like if you look at the Sharia. 0.77
00:06:14.000 There is no prescribed.
00:06:15.000 There is no prescribed punishment.
00:06:16.000 For adultery.
00:06:17.000 For zina. 0.83
00:06:18.000 For slander.
00:06:19.000 For robbery.
00:06:20.000 Um.
00:06:21.000 For apostasy.
00:06:22.000 But when it comes to the hijab.
00:06:23.000 There is.
00:06:24.000 It doesn't mean it's not a sin.
00:06:25.000 But there is nothing that says.
00:06:26.000 That you can kill somebody.
00:06:28.000 Over a hijab. 1.00
00:06:29.000 This is a big fat lie.
00:06:30.000 Which is a different topic.
00:06:31.000 I'm just clarifying.
00:06:32.000 But the problem is.
00:06:33.000 They kill people.
00:06:34.000 For a variety of reasons.
00:06:35.000 Exactly.
00:06:36.000 It's not only this.
00:06:37.000 It's just an excuse.
00:06:38.000 Because they are oppressing the society.
00:06:39.000 Yes.
00:06:40.000 Exactly.
00:06:41.000 Yes.
00:06:42.000 They have their brutal police force.
00:06:43.000 Yes.
00:06:44.000 To.
00:06:45.000 Trying to silence people.
00:06:46.000 Yes.
00:06:47.000 So you have only about hijab.
00:06:48.000 What we are against is that.
00:06:49.000 Our politicians.
00:06:50.000 Our government.
00:06:51.000 Yes.
00:06:52.000 We are not against anything other than.
00:06:53.000 Yes.
00:06:54.000 Gay people.
00:06:55.000 If. 0.90
00:06:56.000 Yeah.
00:06:57.000 If someone. 0.98
00:06:58.000 Would force or kill. 1.00
00:06:59.000 Any woman in Iran. 1.00
00:07:00.000 Yes.
00:07:01.000 Hijab. 0.85
00:07:02.000 Yes.
00:07:03.000 I would do the same.
00:07:04.000 Yes.
00:07:05.000 I would do exactly the same.
00:07:06.000 You know sometimes.
00:07:07.000 You know like in France for example.
00:07:08.000 Yeah.
00:07:09.000 I would be absolutely against that.
00:07:10.000 Exactly.
00:07:11.000 It's just sometimes.
00:07:12.000 You know what it is.
00:07:13.000 We understand where you are coming from.
00:07:14.000 Somebody has lost their life.
00:07:15.000 At the end of the day.
00:07:16.000 Like Allah says in the Quran.
00:07:17.000 If you take one soul. 0.52
00:07:18.000 This is going to kill the whole of humanity.
00:07:19.000 And if you save one soul.
00:07:20.000 So what we want to tell you guys.
00:07:21.000 I know some of you guys are not Muslim.
00:07:22.000 But the thing is.
00:07:23.000 Islam is free from this.
00:07:24.000 This has nothing to do with Islam.
00:07:26.000 I want to make that clear.
00:07:27.000 That's a very important point.
00:07:28.000 I want to make that clear.
00:07:29.000 The behaviour of these regimes.
00:07:31.000 Yes.
00:07:32.000 Is damaging the society.
00:07:33.000 Yes.
00:07:34.000 But you know who takes the damage even more than that.
00:07:35.000 Yeah. 0.85
00:07:36.000 Islam.
00:07:37.000 Yes.
00:07:38.000 Exactly.
00:07:39.000 Because they do it in the name of Islam. 1.00
00:07:40.000 Exactly.
00:07:41.000 Same as ISIS.
00:07:42.000 They do it in our name.
00:07:43.000 Exactly.
00:07:44.000 It's exactly the same.
00:07:45.000 For Iranians.
00:07:46.000 When we come to any other countries.
00:07:47.000 Yes.
00:07:48.000 They think.
00:07:49.000 I'm Iranian.
00:07:50.000 Yes.
00:07:51.000 I'm not with the government.
00:07:52.000 Exactly.
00:07:53.000 I'm not thinking about killing other.
00:07:54.000 Exactly.
00:07:55.000 Yeah.
00:07:56.000 That's.
00:07:57.000 So you share our pain.
00:07:58.000 Because we go through the same thing.
00:07:59.000 Exactly.
00:08:00.000 That's the same.
00:08:01.000 We're doing.
00:08:02.000 All we're doing is we're suffering at the hands of these people who've hijacked our religion. 0.99
00:08:03.000 Like for you guys.
00:08:04.000 Anyone who's using their power.
00:08:05.000 We have to be against them.
00:08:06.000 Yes.
00:08:07.000 No one should be in power more than a period of time in any country.
00:08:11.000 Yeah.
00:08:12.000 You've been in power for five years.
00:08:14.000 Thank you very much.
00:08:15.000 Go away.
00:08:16.000 Someone else should come in.
00:08:17.000 Yeah.
00:08:18.000 But the problem is this man been in power for more than three years.
00:08:22.000 For more than 30 years.
00:08:23.000 Yeah.
00:08:24.000 Imagine how corrupted is that government. 0.81
00:08:27.000 Imagine all the money that they have and how they are spending it.
00:08:31.000 It's awful.
00:08:32.000 You can see all indications of a dictatorship and a totalitarian regime in Iran.
00:08:38.000 All indications.
00:08:39.000 And one of the massive ones is a single person in power for more than 30 years.
00:08:44.000 Yeah.
00:08:45.000 He has all the power and resources in the country.
00:08:47.000 Okay.
00:08:48.000 So you know one thing I wanted to touch up on.
00:08:49.000 Maybe it's relating to this.
00:08:50.000 Is that you know when we talk about freedom.
00:08:52.000 So like for example a person is free to wear the hijab or not to wear the hijab.
00:08:58.000 Just off topic a bit.
00:08:59.000 When we talk about freedom what do you exactly mean?
00:09:01.000 Because like I don't believe personally in this concept that you choose not to wear the hijab.
00:09:07.000 I don't believe this exists.
00:09:08.000 Like I don't.
00:09:09.000 I don't.
00:09:10.000 I'll repeat again.
00:09:11.000 I believe that you don't choose not to wear the hijab.
00:09:14.000 You are forced not to wear the hijab. 0.99
00:09:16.000 By whom?
00:09:17.000 By whom?
00:09:18.000 Okay good.
00:09:19.000 Good.
00:09:20.000 So this is where I want to come in.
00:09:21.000 Society.
00:09:22.000 Society.
00:09:23.000 Maybe by the things that I've read.
00:09:24.000 Maybe.
00:09:25.000 Or maybe.
00:09:26.000 Maybe.
00:09:27.000 Maybe.
00:09:28.000 Maybe.
00:09:29.000 Maybe.
00:09:30.000 Maybe.
00:09:31.000 Maybe.
00:09:32.000 Maybe.
00:09:33.000 Maybe.
00:09:34.000 Maybe in the day.
00:09:35.000 100 years later, women are going to shave their hair 1.00
00:09:39.120 because it's more efficient.
00:09:41.300 It can be anything.
00:09:43.600 I absolutely agree.
00:09:44.900 I am not wearing hijab at the moment
00:09:47.640 because of all the things that happened in my life.
00:09:50.880 Okay, I understand, and I'm sorry that happened.
00:09:52.640 And whoever did this, I genuinely, on their behalf,
00:09:54.700 to make you feel...
00:09:55.860 I'll be honest with you, look, sometimes, as Muslims, 1.00
00:09:58.220 the Prophet, peace be upon him, said,
00:09:59.600 I came for nothing but to perfect good character.
00:10:02.100 Meaning, when you look...
00:10:03.080 What's the definition of good character?
00:10:04.280 So, for example, good character starts with Allah, God Almighty.
00:10:07.740 Because some people say this tree is God.
00:10:09.660 We say that's having bad character with Allah.
00:10:11.340 I want to give you a tip.
00:10:13.060 One tip, because I've been, of course, I'm 41 years old.
00:10:18.100 I've had this conversation a lot.
00:10:21.800 One thing that people get wrong is that
00:10:24.240 if in a good intention,
00:10:27.680 even in a brotherhood intention,
00:10:30.180 they come and tell me and tell me,
00:10:32.440 one day, I'm going to say,
00:10:34.020 okay, I'm going to wait a second.
00:10:34.960 Absolutely impose it on you.
00:10:36.000 No, maybe not.
00:10:36.500 That's not going to work on you.
00:10:37.060 No, no, not exactly.
00:10:38.060 So, even with the good intention,
00:10:41.540 Yes.
00:10:41.960 do not repeat the same message.
00:10:43.780 I'm telling you.
00:10:44.280 Yes, exactly, yes.
00:10:45.040 So, what I'm saying...
00:10:45.900 Change it.
00:10:46.900 Give it other things.
00:10:47.980 Yeah.
00:10:48.140 Because I believe that people,
00:10:51.360 they are...
00:10:52.140 Most people, they look for religion.
00:10:54.340 They want to have a religion.
00:10:55.260 Of course, everybody...
00:10:56.240 It gives them happiness.
00:10:58.840 A purpose.
00:10:59.220 It calms them.
00:10:59.940 A purpose, yes.
00:11:00.740 If they are having a stressful life...
00:11:03.300 Whatever reason is it.
00:11:04.600 Whatever reason.
00:11:05.760 Yeah.
00:11:06.080 They find it.
00:11:07.300 So, I don't have problems people having religion.
00:11:10.000 Yeah, I know, I know.
00:11:10.520 I know, I know.
00:11:11.460 Islam can be one of those. 0.81
00:11:12.680 Yes, yes.
00:11:13.280 I don't mind.
00:11:13.880 What I wanted really for you is that even by being kind but repeating and repeating,
00:11:21.120 that's not going to work.
00:11:21.840 Okay, good.
00:11:22.400 So, what I was saying...
00:11:23.860 I wasn't saying that let's be kind and do the same thing.
00:11:26.220 What I was saying in general, as Muslims, we should have good character.
00:11:29.520 Period.
00:11:29.880 Not about you wear hijab and not wear hijab.
00:11:31.240 I'm just saying in general, as Muslims, we are...
00:11:33.700 This is where the...
00:11:35.780 What do you call those...
00:11:37.540 I forgot the name.
00:11:38.940 But basically, we are the ones who are in the front.
00:11:40.700 We are the ones that people judge Islam by.
00:11:42.680 So, it's very important for us to conduct ourselves in the right manner.
00:11:46.080 But the thing I was just saying for the sister as well is that I believe truly that for someone
00:11:50.720 to say that they don't wear the hijab and they choose not to, I believe this is not true.
00:11:55.260 And luckily, I'm talking off topic.
00:11:56.360 I'm not talking about this issue, yeah?
00:11:57.520 What I mean by that is, for example, there are a lot of women in this country or around 1.00
00:12:01.140 the world, billions of them, who wear miniskirts.
00:12:04.340 They get their nose done.
00:12:05.500 They get their backside done. 0.93
00:12:07.280 They get their breasts done. 1.00
00:12:08.460 The question is, do they choose to do this? 0.70
00:12:10.380 I say no.
00:12:11.060 They are forced to do this.
00:12:12.500 Exactly, to Islam as well.
00:12:15.280 Islam to a side. 0.96
00:12:16.360 Islam to a side. 0.96
00:12:16.920 We're going to say people are very...
00:12:18.940 No, the beauty industry, other women, men, society. 0.71
00:12:23.060 There are many...
00:12:23.420 There's a book on this called...
00:12:24.040 But that happens to people that they have hijab as well.
00:12:27.100 Yes.
00:12:27.460 You are saying that they're not choosing it.
00:12:29.580 It just happens because of their society.
00:12:30.360 No, no, no.
00:12:30.840 For example...
00:12:32.180 They don't have freedom.
00:12:33.080 Why is it so difficult for my Muslim brothers to accept that people can think differently
00:12:38.800 from them?
00:12:39.520 No, no.
00:12:39.800 We accept that.
00:12:40.820 I'm not saying that.
00:12:41.700 It's so miniskirt, it's not bad.
00:12:42.740 No, no, no.
00:12:43.480 It's the hardest thing for you guys to accept that people can think differently and choose
00:12:47.440 not to wear hijab.
00:12:48.400 Of course, I'm not saying that.
00:12:49.480 You are having a very difficult time to accept that.
00:12:51.540 No, no, I accept that.
00:12:52.160 I don't believe that having a nose done job is bad as well.
00:12:55.200 I don't think that piercing is bad for miniskirt. 1.00
00:12:57.900 But sister, if a woman tries to get her nose smashed, this is no oppression? 1.00
00:13:02.060 No.
00:13:02.660 This is no oppression?
00:13:03.360 It is their body, their choice.
00:13:05.540 Okay.
00:13:06.060 Is it their choice when the industry and the beauty industry and the makeup industry...
00:13:10.360 I'm not going to advertise this.
00:13:11.840 No, no.
00:13:12.300 But sister, what I'm saying is...
00:13:13.540 But if my sister does it, I'm not going to say don't do it.
00:13:16.140 No, no, no.
00:13:16.640 I'm not saying that.
00:13:17.240 Look, we shouldn't hit anybody.
00:13:18.580 What I'm saying is...
00:13:19.160 Sorry, my team is gone.
00:13:20.720 Okay, okay.
00:13:21.400 No problem.
00:13:21.600 Thank you.
00:13:21.980 Thank you, sister.
00:13:22.520 Thank you.
00:13:23.060 Sorry, just in a nutshell, guys.
00:13:24.700 What happened was tragic.
00:13:25.880 I don't want to change the story.
00:13:28.520 The point I was trying to make is this perception that we are under that women who cover up are
00:13:34.800 forced, but women that cover up are not forced.
00:13:37.600 And this is a big, fat lie. 0.75
00:13:39.320 This is a big, fat lie.
00:13:41.320 You look at the beauty industry, billion dollar industry.
00:13:44.860 Yeah?
00:13:45.420 Now, just because somebody doesn't hit you on the head and go, don't wear the hijab,
00:13:49.880 get your nose done, doesn't mean they are free.
00:13:53.260 The point I'm trying to say is, which woman, why do they wake up in the morning and find
00:13:57.920 the need to spend two hours doing makeup?
00:14:00.120 Why do they find the need to wear four-inch heels and it's so uncomfortable they have to 0.99
00:14:04.300 take it off in cold weather? 0.82
00:14:05.760 Why do they find the need to get their buttocks, their bums, excuse me, their backsides done 1.00
00:14:10.620 and some of them die in the process? 0.99
00:14:12.180 There was a Brazilian woman in Brazil, she got her bomb done and she died.
00:14:16.240 She literally sacrificed her life for that beauty.
00:14:18.960 So the point I'm trying to say is this notion that Muslim women are oppressed and the Western
00:14:24.680 women, Iranian women, whoever it may be, we choose to take you off. 1.00
00:14:27.840 No, you don't.
00:14:29.200 You are told to in a different way and you think, oh, I choose.
00:14:33.060 No, you don't.
00:14:33.900 Why do you go, like, by the way, anyone can dress up how they want to dress up in this
00:14:36.980 country.
00:14:37.420 The point I'm trying to make is this.
00:14:39.280 When I, well, we shouldn't actually, none of us should see this, but you know, it pops
00:14:42.940 up in front of you.
00:14:43.900 In the winter, a woman wearing a miniskirt, you're thinking to yourself, does she really 0.99
00:14:48.360 choose to?
00:14:48.880 Does she wake up and say, it's freezing cold and I'm going to wear a miniskirt today?
00:14:53.280 No, she does not.
00:14:54.320 She's like, I look, I think I look beautiful.
00:14:57.000 Men look at me.
00:14:58.540 I'm, I'm in competition with other women and the beauty industry and all of this, and I
00:15:02.540 am willing to go and wear a miniskirt.
00:15:04.320 That is oppression.
00:15:06.160 Now, the same could be said about our sisters.
00:15:08.820 Do they wear the hijab because they want to? 1.00
00:15:10.460 No, they do it because they have to.
00:15:12.500 Do I wake up for Fajr because I want to? 1.00
00:15:14.540 Well, yeah, but I do it because I have to.
00:15:17.200 It's not something I enjoy in the context where I'm like, it's hard.
00:15:20.720 Waking up for Fajr is hard. 0.97
00:15:21.660 But I do it because I'm told to.
00:15:25.020 Now, you're going to say, well, what's the difference?
00:15:26.780 You are told to.
00:15:27.980 They are told to.
00:15:28.980 The difference is this.
00:15:30.520 I choose to follow the one that created me and he deserves my worship and he deserves
00:15:34.760 me to obey him.
00:15:36.160 However, the creation, the beauty industry, the men and the opposite gender and all these 1.00
00:15:40.340 industries, they do not deserve me to listen to them.
00:15:43.440 That is the difference.
00:15:45.040 And that's the point I just wanted to make.
00:15:46.360 And obviously, it's sad what happened to the sister who passed away.
00:15:49.740 And this is not from Islam.
00:15:50.660 Nowhere in Islam does it tell you to execute or kill somebody because they do not wear
00:15:55.240 the hijab.
00:15:55.660 There is no capital punishment for this.
00:15:58.580 Yeah, there is.
00:15:59.100 There isn't.
00:15:59.400 Let's be real.
00:15:59.880 Like, I'm an Orthodox Muslim.
00:16:00.760 I shouldn't call it my religion.
00:16:02.260 You know, there is capital punishment for apostasy.
00:16:04.480 Yeah.
00:16:04.740 And I always say this and I've got no problem with it.
00:16:06.760 Yeah.
00:16:06.880 In a legitimate Islamic country. 0.88
00:16:09.460 But when women come to me and make it out as if they choose. 1.00
00:16:13.220 Like she said, I don't see any problem with getting my nose done.
00:16:15.920 Can you imagine going under operation?
00:16:18.000 When you get your nose done, your eyes start going.
00:16:19.660 You know, after operation, your eyes are this big.
00:16:21.600 Yeah.
00:16:22.440 There can be confusions, complications.
00:16:24.280 Yeah.
00:16:25.500 You're telling me you are willingly to go there and get your nose done?
00:16:29.140 No, you're not.
00:16:30.420 I have family members.
00:16:31.860 I know.
00:16:32.380 I don't want to get into detail.
00:16:34.440 Three, four of them have got their nose done.
00:16:36.200 And I go to them and go, she done it?
00:16:38.540 Okay.
00:16:39.240 Why did you do it?
00:16:40.280 Oh, I done it because it looked good on her.
00:16:42.260 Okay.
00:16:42.780 So why did you do it?
00:16:43.700 Oh, because it's good.
00:16:44.860 Come on, man.
00:16:45.420 Don't come to me with this.
00:16:46.520 I'm so sorry.
