Any muslim woman who claims to wear that ridiculous costume of their own free will? IS FULL OF SHIT. You know you do it so you wont be attacked by your own people.

#infidel Unlike so-called moderates If Muslims practice what they believe, then ideology is terribly violent and no woman of self respect/dignity can follow it.

anti woman or not, I thought this was a predominantly Christian and jewish country now if they don't want to adapt why not go to muslim contries

Haha at all the haters. Retards feed themselves with non-stop nonsense of media and then come on the internet to spew their ignorant hating asses. \n\nThey have a problem with a small fabric on woman's body, even though many women have said they wear it by choice. It their body, it's their choice. Lol a small fabric is a nightmare for them. I seriously pity you fuc*tards.

The womans rights actavist is correct

How could you possibly be a woman and condone this psychotic bullshit.

I just don't understand how can you love someone who hides her face behind a mask or niqab or whatever fuck they call it. I saw one a few days ago here in Chicago and believe it or not my 5 year old niece was scared of seeing her in the grocery store. I had to tell her that she is some sort of ninja woman!!

If a woman choose to wear niqab in the West, they're Islamist's embracing the Quran and Hadith's which is an open violation against every non-Muslim. . They should be viewed as extreme Jihadist's (A HUGE THREAT) with the potential to harm their surounding's regardless of their claims to be an innocent misinterpreted mob. Islam has no place in the West and these women will trait the Western cultures at any given opportunity so don't get yourselves fooled thinking they're harmless walking mummie's in your societies...

What makes Muslim is a fast growing religion in the world is men allow having four wives. Codger Imam can remarry with the young woman whenever one of his wife die so he can have Sexual intercourse with the tight vagina all his life that why they fight to the dead to spread to many nations for this reason not only their God.

They name what is scary about the look of the woman. But what is really scary is the fact that somebody is making it easy for them to immigrate to this land. WHY?

Omg - She said that covering her (woman's) face, gives them a higher status in Islam. What a bunch of manipulating bull crap the men tell them. And yes, it does defined you. You look scary and indecent in Canadian culture. It doesn't belong here. This country was fought for and built on - Christian/Jewish Faith. That's what our laws provide for. It doesn't provide for Islamic law, nor will it in the future. You don't get to piggy back on the life and death of people who fought and died for their democractic rights. Show me one Muslim country where the people fought for the right to independence and freedom. It doesn't exist anywhere in the world.

Why does this woman still call herself a Muslim? She clearly recognizes the barbarity of Islam, is knowledgeable of the Quran and Hadith texts that incite the barbarity. She is trying to salvage some truth out of the bloody, muddy water that is Islam. She should search new waters to find truth.

I do not accept Islam as a religion because it was founded by a false prophet. My question is how does any woman feel closer to her God by wearing the niqab? I really don't see the relation. I agree with banning it simply because a jihadist wore it to try and escape capture. The public needs to feel safe and that's impossible if you're checking out everyone in a niqab.

It takes a truly ignorant and\\or obtuse woman to embrace Islam.\n\nHow about some Quran references that debase women?\n4.15 2.25 2.187 2.221 2.223 2.226 2.230 2.231 2.236 4.11 4.19 4.24 4.25 4.34\n7.24 9.24 11.78 12,28 15.71 22.2

That woman said that jihad is the six pillars in Islam she's wrong.Islam has 5 pillars paryer fasting paying zaket and going to haji

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. In Saudi Arabia, non-muslims have to wear the hijab. So if Muslims plan to stay in Western countries, they have to unveil just like every other Western woman. Besides, you don't know if it is a man or a woman in burquah and it's frightening. They talk about women in Islam wearing the hijab, but how many of them really pracitise true Islam. Why are not wanting to go to Saudi Arabia. Double standards - they want the Western lifestyle and money and not the Saudi Arabian lifestyle. No other religious group flaunt their religion like the Muslims.

Imagine I said the following and 1.7 billion people followed it:\n Theft is punishable by amputation of the right hand (above).\n• Criticizing or denying any part of the Quran is punishable by death.\n• Criticizing or denying Muhammad is a prophet is punishable by death.\n• Criticizing or denying Allah, the moon god of Islam is punishable by death.\n• A Muslim who becomes a non-Muslim is punishable by death.\n• A non-Muslim who leads a Muslim away from Islam is punishable by death.\n• A non-Muslim man who marries a Muslim woman is punishable by death.\n• A man can marry an infant girl and consummate the marriage when she is 9 years old.\n• Girls' clitoris should be cut (per Muhammad's words in Book 41, Kitab Al-Adab, Hadith 5251).\n• A woman can have 1 husband, but a man can have up to 4 wives; Muhammad can have more.\n• A man can unilaterally divorce his wife but a woman needs her husband's consent to divorce.\n• A man can beat his wife for insubordination.\n• Testimonies of four male witnesses are required to prove rape against a woman.\n• A woman who has been raped cannot testify in court against her rapist(s).\n• A woman's testimony in court, allowed only in property cases, carries half the weight of a man's.\n• A female heir inherits half of what a male heir inherits.\n• A woman cannot drive a car, as it leads to fitnah (upheaval).\n• A woman cannot speak alone to a man who is not her husband or relative.\n• Meat to be eaten must come from animals that have been sacrificed to Allah - i.e., be Halal.\n• Muslims should engage in Taqiyya and lie to non-Muslims to advance Islam.\n\nThat's what Muslims believe in.

how can a woman enter into a bank or post office with fully-covered face? In my country it is not allowed.

Unless the culture allows the women to be looked at as a sexual object its anti woman!!!! Great : ) but no thank you !!

You can tell that muslim woman is lying.

You could be a great woman if you fucked from our beautiful country

The woman that are Islam are not violet. It's the men in some groups that are. I think woman should cover if they want to. Maybe they don't want to give that power to men to tell them to take it off. Like if the mans world said woman couldn't wear pants anymore, I would be defiant because someone is telling me what to do. .Woman don't want to be told want to do and if they want to cover then i'm I think they should be able to.The issue needs to be left alone and we need to have some trust!

Being a Muslim woman must be very sad, in countries where Islam is the main religion they can't choose how to dress, they can't choose to have a career, they can chose who to marry, they can't choose their religion, and Islam also endorse husband to beat his wife if necessary. To the women who wear the niqab: do you really think that God is so stupid to judge you by what you wear??? God looks at your heart.\nThen, we can discuss about how much the US destabilised the middle east, but in general Islam doesn't fit well in a globalised world and created no social and economic development in the last 100 years. There are small exceptions (Qatar, UAE) who found oil under their ass, but in general a society who wants to live and do things like 1.600 years ago can only bring inequality and no progress whatsoever.

As a Muslim living in Canada, I don't see the harm in a woman wanting to cover herself, I wear the head scarf myself, but in my opinions I don't feel the need to cover myself to prove I am more modest or a better Muslim.  I believe everyone has free will and has the right in this Country to dress the way that the law has allowed them to.  No one has the right to tell someone how to dress, not even the Prime Minister himself.  Telling a woman what she can and cannot wear is oppression.  I truly believe that if Muslims want to live in Western civilization, then they should refrain from covering their faces because the face is our identity and People have the right to know who you are and what your face looks like.  You cannot vote with a covered face, you cannot cover your face in a passport photo, you cannot cover your face for your driver's licence etc... I am a Muslim woman and I say this.  It truly is a shame how the media is portraying Islam and the Muslim people as a whole, and it truly is a shame that Canadians have become so ignorant.  I see more ignorance and racism in Canada than I do in America and 9/11 took place in America.  If you want to know about Islam, learn about Islam from a Muslim, a Library, google Islam, or offer to spend a few days with a Muslim family for research to get a better understanding of Islam and Muslims.  As a Muslim myself I can understand the hatred and the ignorance because we act according to how we were taught and raised, and yes we have many extremists claiming to follow the Islamic faith.  These extremists are not only hurting Western civilization, but they are also hurting the peaceful moderate Muslims that value their rights and freedoms as Canadians.  I do not appreciate ISIS hijacking my religion, I do not appreciate Hamas or Hezballah hijacking my Religion because I am a very accepting person and a very open minded Muslim and to be defined by media as a problem or a terrorist is very hurtful and a shame.

It's interesting to see a Muslim woman give her opinion when in many Muslim dominated countries she wouldn't be given the same opportunity. I've also noticed many Muslims being interviewed are obviously not from overseas meaning they most likely haven't lived in a country that is governed by the law of the religion they follow. I wonder how they would enjoy living in any of the Muslim countries where Sharia law is practiced.

If this were not at all about misogyny or oppression but purely an expression of religious devotion then the men would do it too, and I'm not sure about defending a woman's right to be oppressed it would be akin to defending someones right to be enslaved.

nobody tried to assault that large woman

I love the woman that said she does not feel safe - then go to a muslim country and leave ours.  I sure as hell would not go to a muslim country and feel safe - remember Tunis.

men get discriminated everyday in court, alot get alienated from their children, but you can't even tell a muslim woman to take off the mask in court, and they feel not safe? fuck you, you are safer then some Canadians that grew up here and been paying taxes for 30 years, Canada is lost its culture, its all about bullshit now, just a bunch of fucked up bullshit, fake racist people.

IN ISLAM, A WOMAN IS CONSIDERED HALF OF A MAN. .... IT'S IN THE QURAN.

A very good and balanced documentary. I admire that Muslim woman who spoke out against the full face veil.

what is this woman talking about? fear?? is it the same fear that the muslim religion puts out there in the world everyday? why shouldn't they feel some fear!! it's not a religion it's a disgusting cult.

*The only good Muslim in this whole thing is the woman that is speaking at the end.*

bullshit. all the woman are beaten until they are forced into this shit, you choose to wear it so you dont get a black eye

The woman asked how did Islam get so violent she doesn't know that this has been the entire history of Islam all 1400 years of it,     look up the connection between Islam and the Papasy there is a connection and people will be shocked if they knew.

the fact is that they are not in the middle east no more different cultures and ways of life in the west if you cant stand it then why go? and that moderate Muslim woman said it herself she fears for her life for just talking against just the extreme stuff in Islam and how some of them hate the west and a re becoming more extreme  \n\nimagine if it were the other way around and westerners were immigrating to the middle east trying to implement christian fundamentalism and kicking and screaming when no bible laws are implemented in Egypt or Arabia ect id say most Muslims in those country's would run the westerners out no problem and kill a few while at it and its sadly true it would happen call me Anti-Islamic all you want the fact of the matter is its Islam that says i should be killed its Islam promotes control over the world under sharia law not me its Islam that promotes jihad and the killing of non-believers you have to understand why people are afraid in the 1st place and i don't see many Muslims standing up denouncing the extremists ether which is shocking coming from a religion with over a billion people

Farzana Hassan, the women's rights activist interviewed in this video, is clearly a very courageous woman, willing to stand up for her views in spite of death threats. More power to her.

that woman who is talking outside her doorstep is clueless and fear mongering. i doubt shes muslim

Muslims trying to change the world's culture or at least conquer the whole world.\nthe Muslim woman says that by covering her face she is showing respect to the world, they want to show respect to Muslims but not to the other religions, the truth is that they are scaring the world by covering their face like that(not respecting), they can go rub a bank and no police will identify them that's for sure.\nanother fact:  the Koran has more than 70 versions of it ,one version says kill the jews another version says the land of israel is the jews's land for iternity.\nall the muslims are trying to say that the koran is very friendly, but ISIS is killing by the name of the Koran. now how do you know who is right if there are 70 versions of it\nmaybe ISIS is right(who knows) until someone will prove the koran scientifically right without mistakes like the old testimony of the Jews which is proven already(you can check on YouTube how they scientifically prove the old testimony as the true bible)\nnobody knows what that koran means,\nconclusion: Muslims will destroy the world if no one will stop them

According to the Sharia law:\n\n•  Criticizing or denying any part of the Quran is punishable by death.\n•  Criticizing or denying Muhammad is a prophet is punishable by death.\n•  A Muslim who becomes a non-Muslim is punishable by death.\n•  A non-Muslim who leads a Muslim away from Islam is punishable by death.\n•  A non-Muslim man who marries a Muslim woman is punishable by death.\n•  A man can marry an infant girl and consummate the marriage when she is 9 years old.\n•  Girls' clitoris should be cut (per Muhammad's words in Book 41, Kitab Al-Adab, Hadith 5251).\n•  A man can unilaterally divorce his wife but a woman needs her husband's consent to divorce.\n•  A man can beat his wife for insubordination.\n•  Testimonies of four male witnesses are required to prove rape against a woman.\n•  A woman who has been raped cannot testify in court against her rapist(s).\n•  The list goes on.\n\nI would not want to live under such law, and it is happening in Canada now. Tell me it is reasonable, and you want to obey it. But hey, if you want to be slave, it is not my business, but please keep it in your home.

i started laughing as soon as the woman said that Niqab is a way of showing woman's higher status in Islam

How is a woman covering herself scary? When you see half naked woman walking the earth that shits acceptable, but woman who cover are not? You're all sick!!!

We're all concerned -because of the ACTS MUSLIMS ENGAGE IN!And they lie like this woman does all the time!

Enough is enough. America, wake up over 500,000 Muslim/Refugees being relocated to the United States. Did you vote for that? Of course not. For the real truth Google “TheProjectMuslimBrotherhood” their secret doctrine to destroy America from within.  Guess what they are succeeding folks. One only has to look at England and France and Europe today, It is sad what Paris has become, mainly due to the Muslim immigration; take a good look at Europe and that is America in 25 years, unless something is done to prevent “theprojectmuslimbrotherhood” from making further inroads into America, our cities, schools, universities and even our own government.  Multiculturalism is literally destroying Europe. There are now over 700 “Islamic no go Muslim Zones” within England, France and Germany. \nMichigan, Tennessee, California and Colorado have so far most of the immigrants what State next? I have no problem with the “peaceful Muslim” that wants to integrate into our culture and follow our laws.  The problem lies in that they want to dominate and force Islam and Sharia law upon us all. Just not acceptable here in America folks. Stand up and be counted.  “When good men and woman our quiet evil always wins”  Forget about be labeled a racist, or being politically correct, multiculturalism is not good for America. Let them adopt to our culture, period Amen. Again for facts and truth Google “theprojectmuslimbrotherhood” speaks volumes on the intent to destroy us from within. Who will stop this “insanity” from becoming a reality in America? Join ACT today, a non violent association with over 600 chapters throughout America and the World, to stop radical Islam and Sharia Law from making further inroads into our culture. Jews, Christians, Priests are being murdered and churches are being burned to the ground, enough is enough folks. Stand up and be counted to defeat this real threat upon America. Enough is really enough folks.

Did a WOMAN put you down?\n\nWhat a WEAK WORM YOU ARE. FASCIST SLIME LIKE YOU SHOULD DO THE WORLD A FAVOUR AND TOP YOURSELF. DO YOU REALISE YOU ARE UNIVERSALLY DESPISED?

If you want to live under Sharia Law there are plenty of countries that already practice it. Don't try and impose S,L on the free world. Go live in Saudi, Pakistan, Iran where it exists in all its misogynistic glory. However, I would remind you it's forbidden for a man to speak to a woman who is not a member of their family. So you are breaking your own laws by doing what you are doing justify that if you can. I have no truck with folk following a religeon, just folk foisting it on me

Because its wrong, on so many levels. Man was made for woman.\n\nI find it offensive as any human should. It should not be allowed, it is disrespectful!

A WOMAN IN THE QURAN HAS TO BRING 4 WITNESSES WITH HER TO PROVE THAT WHAT SHE IS TELLING IS TRUE, IF SHE FAILS TO DO SO EVEN IF SHE HAS 3 WITNESSES SUPPORTING HER IT IS NOT ACCEPTED IN ISLAM, THERE ARE STRICT ABOUT WITNESSES...BUT WHEN MOHD. SPOKE TO GOD/GABRIEL THERE ARE NO WITNESSES AT ALL,MOHD. MARRIED A 6 YEAR OLD AND TOLD GOD TOLD HIM TO DO SO MOHD MARRIED HIS DAUGHTER IN LAW AND SAID GOD TOLD HIM TO DO SO,BUT THERE IS NOT EVEN ONE WITNESS TO SAY THAT HE HEARD MOHAMMAD AND GODS CONVERSATION

The worst thing is how they make the woman responsible for men behaving primitively. No skirt, however short, can ever be an excuse for rape. Men are supposed to behave like human beings, not animals, I would think.

Again you miss my point,\n Death for Adultery in this day and age ??\nseriously we are not in Muhammeds times now \nanyway here is more of the story,\nParwan province governor Abdul Basir Salangi told CNN that as both Taliban men 'had some kind of relationship with the woman', they instead opted to accuse her of adultery to 'save face'.\nso they accuse her of adultery to save face,her LIFE to save their Pride \nDisgusting,you call that a religion of peace and non-sexist ?\nUnbelievable !!!!!\n\n\n\n
