Do Arab men hate women? | Head to Head 

Of course...👍

hi....

Ya but what are you doing about it…talk is cheep

Western women are single and lonely by the time they are 38. Think Arab women want to avoid that feminist fate.

@@intermilan9731 But they achieve their goals in life without spending their life as mere 'helpers' of the male members of the family and children..... And ultimately they are free....😂😂😂

He was definitely trying to gaslight her.

He is a Pakistani muslim journalist. He demonstrates what she describes in her essay

And he fails lol That's what he gets when trying to be ignorant

Look at the way mahdi Interviews all people then you gonna understand he was definitely good to her. And im with her too.

The Imam was a shocker. I never thought Imams were this progressive in the U.K.

Exactly

I literally stood up and clapped when he said it, thanksfully nobody was around ! Why is it that religion or any other backward cultural tradition have to be put above common justice, social security, criticism etc, just because they might offend someone's feeling or sense of identity ?

Agreed

yup! amazing!

So true..

Mankind has a great loss because these talented sisters from the Arab world are held back from contributing to progression

The lady knows what she means!!! And such sparkling prose. God bless you with all possible success

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Absolutely! 🇺🇸 I say this everyday. I feel so blessed and I'm so glad I was born in the U.S as women in this country, we've come along way. I can't even begin to imagine being born a woman in an Arab country. 😕

Are American women free? The right to abort, the right to be treated medically even if you are poor, the duty to look in a certain way, the obsession of being "cute" and in no case show more intelligence than your spouse... no, being an American woman is still not the aim women should go for!

@@Freiya2011 at least American and European women have a say when it comes to rape or domestic violence which women in the Middle East do not have just because those women are independent it doesn't mean that they are lacking any modesty dignity or self respect and have a "damaged moral compass" according to some misogynists and anti-feminists

@@fatimahanwaar306 I agree with you. I only HIGHLY doubt that women in the US are that "blessed" as some here want to make us believe. There is a racist, misogynist president who was elected. He lacked 3 mio votes, but is in White House nevertheless - thanks to a very disputable electing procedure ... And there are American federal states which limit women's rights to almost nothing. And there is a health care system that doesn't deserve that word. Plus there are very strange pseudo religious groups that want women to breed constantly - out of whatever reasons - and that do everything to make contraception as well as abortion unavailable PLUS protest against sexual education at schools. Don't tell me American women are free. They aren't. And they are not at all if they are black and / or poor! I'm very sorry.

You wish. She will one day walk into one of those Arab embassies and disappear off the surface of the earth.

U r right. I pray that mother Durga protects her. She is the beacon of light for many woman she must remain strong.

God bless her

1999 Memphis court case proved the US killed MLK, the whole King family brought the case forward. Let's not forget the terrorism of the US or that the US is no pioneer for women's right, esp. considering they are the ones backing Saudi Arabia and death squads all over that take out egalitarian democracies that put people over profits. I agree with a lot of what the speaker says, but forgetting the US's role in this is ridiculous. It was proven in the Church Committee hearings the FBI spied on women in their living rooms talking about equal pay. Recall what they did to rich, famous, white, female movie star Jean Seberg. Recall what happened to Judi Bari in the early 1990s. What about Rachel Corrie, etc.

It's called TV bro. Do you also think the Terminators and Smurfs and freaking Transformers and stuff are real. Let me guess you think Santa is real and use a f****** club to beat it into your children's head

@@ShawnJonesHellion l .l .

This woman who you admire is either very ill informed or deliberately misinforms the very naive and emotional Western audience. For example, she constantly talks about FGM (female genital mutilation) in Islamic world. FGM is not an Islamic issue, it is a cultural issue which she does not (I think deliberately) mention. My background is Iranian, I am an atheist but I have to push back and say that there is no such a thing as FGM. In fact, I had never heard of it until I moved to Canada at the age of 20 and heard it from Oprah who, similar to this woman is very good at generalization without much research. It would be beneficial for general audience to mention that some of the countries with high cases of FGM are not Muslim majority countries, e.g. Ethiopia, Ivory Coast and Uganda

I thought the same thing. But she handled it like a boss.

😠

Exactly😠

Me...from Philippines

Not really. It reminds me that we need to be careful who comes into our country cause these are the same people trying to run now. They won’t leave their “morals” behind too.

Me but it is painful to watch whenever the interviewer keeps interrupting, can hardly finish watching it.

I think the problem with people discussing this is that many people view it as racist or prejudice towards people of Muslim faith.... I feel like people need to open there eyes more and see what's right in front of them. To be fair though Catholics, Christians, Jews, atheists, men, women, black, white, and so on, really aren't good at taking criticism without saying it's prejudice..... I myself am Catholic, but unlike some other catholics I can actually open my eyes, and listen to what people have to say, and sometimes there right.... Like when people criticize the Catholic church of being greedy.... It's true, and they talk a lot of nonsense as well.... It's just one of those things that will get better with time, but either way wish you luck finding the right one🥂

Talk about insecurity. Being Muslim doesn’t amount to “knowing” and “verifying” Arab culture or their behaviour in general. Stop pretending to “know” the Arab/Muslim world. You don’t even exercise modesty at all.

Its truth muslim and arab men are top world misogyny and patriachy and most toxic men in the world

As a western I agree. The more Muslim men come to area the more unsafe that are becomes especially for women.

I have listened to many Muslim men on youtube talking about prospective wives, and wives, their daughters and sisters.... it was all too depressing. They certainly hate western women, but they seemed to despise Muslim women just as much. I listened to religious leaders advising fathers not to be in the same room as their little daughters incase they became aroused.... good grief this was their daughters!!!! Men laughing about how many wives they could have, and how to get rid of them. Little girls being married off when their bodies were too young to give birth. I could go on. There must be a high degree of mental health issues within the Muslim female community... but because of their circumstances never gets treated. One lady stated she had been abused physically and mentally for 45 years in her marriage.... she was simply told she would be rewarded after her death for perservering. Truly depressing, no one should have to endure this, when the UK has laws in place to protect women from physical and controlling behaviour.

Reality provokes islamists, you know... that's why they ban drawing imagery. you can't draw in Islam, because if u draw, then people will know how ugly it is..

@@rajadhirajmaharaj I say the ugly side is the one who knows nothing about respect and justice.

So, are you unjustly accusing Muslim men of hating women as well?

@@rajadhirajmaharaj What does this even mean...

How do you know "what the oppressive misogynistic regime fear"?

@@babagarus the proof is in the behavior. She is clearly anti-establishment and she's very vocal with a platform to reach millions. She has the capacity to potentially change the status quo.

Women rarely stare & creep at men the way men stare at women. Maybe that's why all 3 Abrahamic religions impose that law. I was just watching a CNN news about a girl being murdered just because she mistaken a random car for her uber driver. There are pros and cons to every side. The quran's reference to the hijab is in verse 35:59 : "O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves [part] of their outer garments. That is more suitable that they will be known and not be abused. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful." And the bible's: "And every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, for it is just as if her head were shaved. 6If a woman does not cover her head, let her hair be cut off. And if it is shameful for a woman to have her hair cut or shaved off, she should cover her head. 7A man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man.…"

lol man is the glory of god but woman is the glory of man?? Thats like saying my son looks like me but my daughter looks like my son - ??? who has the time for this nonsense? The bible was a book written a very very very long time ago. What do you think someone from 3000 years ago would think if you showed them the internet? It would definitely be some kind of witchcraft. And why are we worried about dishonoring our head when we can't even go a week without buying food covered in plastic if anything we need to be more concerned about dishonoring nature and the planet. Old books vs current relevant issues.

GK If men lost their hands, eyes, dicks for creeping, and other, to women, they would find their self-discipline.

@@inevski shut up

bob dylan totally! 🙌

Positively ---4th Street

The truth owned this. Here, watch this: look up! See that? BLUE! I'm not mad at Bob Dylan for the comment. I think we are overdue as a species to have evolved to be able to see our own humanity in others and treat them accordingly. And I have been indoctrinated with sexism as much as anyone, even though it's wrong, I find myself let down that there are no men fighting to defend and protect their own sisters and wives. When a culture encodes into law and sanctions the abuse and terrorism of its most vulnerable property, there is a toxic kind of self-hatred at work that I pray doesn't spread like disease. No one, anywhere, should stand by in silence frankly while a beautiful car has its gears stripped by a bad driver, or while a dog is beaten by its owner, or while people walk into a holy place with light clean carpets wearing outdoor shoes. If we can understand basic principles of care and respect, even for inanimate objects, we must account for how we treat humans, God's most beloved creation. How do we respond? We (me) play god and sit in judgement on each other but do nothing at all.

Women are neither owned dogs or vulnerable property, or gear-stripped cars, and the toxicity has already spread like wildfire to virtually the whole planet. Your trying, and i do appreciate it, but i could appreciate it more with some reframing. Really, thanks,

@@gachaoreocat1491 i hear you. I see now my comment, even with the retraction at the end, the tone comes off as overly harsh, jumping off with the sarcasm, ouch. Not sure why I was so angry. So I concede to you, and ty for your gentle response.

If you beat your dog does it prove a point. When your dog bites your does it prove a point? Aggression on it's own is not an indication of anything other than itself. You fool.

U r right... The funniest interviewer ever seen in my life...

I agree with you entirely; I noticed that since the beginning of the interview.

He states points that she then counters; if she is able to reply, then she has a very valid argument. If he states points that agree with her point of view, then there would be no meaning to the title of the show, “head to head”

He has to place himself in that place ( work is work ) - In a open public she would be attacked with such opposition.- He spilt his heart in the end - He agrees with her cause - that is why she was his guest.

@@binitatrew1642 Hope it is norms for head to head that interviewer has to take place. So what about common people and what their thoughts.. Common people having no more knowledge so they will think the interviewer is correct so everything go opposition 😄😄😄😄😄😄

@Francine Miranda Really ...waiting eagerly for you to teach us everything ( and nothing too, by the way) about that brainwashing which i am a victim of ! LOL

Mehdi Hassan is dishonest and cherry picks to détails to draw attention from the elephant in the Room. The room is humanity, the elephant is a false barbaric cult led by a pedophile uniting Umma through an unholy book.

@@gabougabou19 what you are doing is a well known phenomenum in psychology : removimg harmful, shameful characteristics and deeds from yourself and attribute i them to someone else in order to feel free from that harm and shame. At the same time, offering yourself a feeling of superiority upon the one you just gave your "defects". Don't worry, there are a lot of sick people out there, you are not alone lol Forgot : the harmful and shameful deeds originated by the church and its priests. Of course !

@@chehrazadeesmey8399 I guess you never heard of essentialism. French philosophers put it :”sans essentialisation, on ne peut ni analyser, ni penser. Sans pensée réelle, la critique n’existe ni la satire, l’humour, l’art ou même le dépassement de soi au sein d’une civilisation”.

Look the host was doing his job in asking the question and yeah he was male so you would definitely call him chauvinistic because maybe be you have forgotten what is a host job to do ...asking questions

Indeed! It's exhausting to look at, as Mona Eltahawy is being cut off, attacked and stressed out. She's doing a splended job of speaking out for those without a voice. Unfortunately men and especially Muslim men live in such an established entitlement that they don't even notice the injustice and gender inequality.

@@yasminedey8612 well if I say I partially agree Muslim men doesn't allow full freedom to their women but what about the western men they some times abondun their own girl frnds or wives at the time of child which shows that those men has a more sick mind because they are running away from their own responsibility ...as far as host is concerned he has done a remarkable job Infront of a woman who was constantly generalising things and was adamnant on her views which were wrong

@@Mazaq_mania24 I am glad you are aware of the misogyny in the Muslim world, that's already the first step to changement, as Mona Eltahawy is trying to explain. She isn't generalising the topic or Muslim men, but actually explaining that men are not naturally misogynist but the Muslim society, denying women equality, makes them that way. Sexism is a negative aspect in the religion, which is produced by purely the society, besides that unfortunately all organised religions, not only Abrahamism, which also includes Judaism and Christianity, are sexist. This is my friend what you probably subconsciously mention by bringing up the topig of men abandoning their children, a problem found in general in society - not only as you like putting it in Christianity.

Rubbish. He's like this with every person he question's

thank you

That's a wise comment man. Either way in muslim countries we can see a variety of iterations of the holy guidelines. From Morocco to Azerbaijan,from Yemen to Syria and then in Malaysia and Iran women's condition and behavior can be different and in several respects can be poles apart from country to country. Regrettably I have to remark that most of muslim youtubers don't feel comfortable talking about stuff as such in this video. At a stage they give up... I can't get why.

Thank you Ammar.. you're brave 🔥

For a Pakistani you are extremely progressive. You may be one, but hopefully your mindset will become a majority. Might take generations though. Maybe you will make a difference.

Wow!😎 Imagine,an Arab man who does not have to abuse women to feel like a real man! I feel admiration! Really!😊💜

There was a man on TikTok complaining about false r*pe accusations in Russia, which is due to women not being able to get out of domestic abuse.

I'm sorry to hear that about your husband. Shame on the police, that's why they are hated here in America. 😡

That’s very sad to hear . You should leave at the earliest opportunity and go back to your home country before something worse happens.

nait51 : Totally well put! This woman is on fire and is quite correct.

Quran hates women... Written to men , only has 72 virgins for men - the wife have to serve her husband in the after life... It's in the teachings

You are correct.

But here, in most homes, you can fight it. My brothers always thought they were smarter than me & they were always trying to put me down. I never understood why they were doing this. I was the oldest child even & I married the best. I was the best at math. They knew why I didn't finish college. My husband's father was one of the richest men in Taiwan--even though he did lose his money later. I was hands down always better at writing than them. I think it was my father's doing. But still, I just gave them heck when they did it--and then I had my daughter--a child prodigy--and they shut up forever. This makes me wonder what they teach them in muslim homes & how the daughter's are treated, even by the mother.

He's Indian, not Arab.

I Have to admit I'm not a huge fan of Mehdi Hasan's interview style, in particular I'm think of a rather nasty one he conducted with Richard Dawkins on Islam. However, watching this end to end It did become obvious that it was just that, a style or rather his style of getting as much content from Mona as possible with provocative questions. In the closing he as good as agreed with her in my opinion.

He sounds so accusatory 😧

Much more hypocrite

Agree! She is brilliant.

But she is a woman dear.. We in the west are just as women haters than the Arab countries.. paticulatly in the US.. where domestic violence is out of hand

I agree and all my blessings with her as she is taking out time from her life and doing such a fantastic job...all the best Mona

He knew it too thats why he kept getting triggered.

I'm Egyptian woman and you're right, i can't wait for the xay to get out of this m*sogynistic islamic sh*thole

How is he not neutral? because he's not agreeing with everything she says? It's his job to challenge the people that come on the show.

If you that's not neutral, watch his other interviews. He is an angel here by comparison.

@Raza Khan She did not start the gender war, she is making the details public.

He is a one of the brother hood and I bet on that

Nah, the feminist is the dumb one.

Its his way. Its how the show is done. I have watched many of his interviews.

You can tell he seething hates women

Yeah, Mehdi was a completely insensitive, over-aggressive pillock in this debate. Should be ashamed of how he conducted himself; he could have learnt a lot from Ms Eltahawy.

Oh no, the interviewer asked hard questions.

have u watched BBC Hard Talk? same way of interviewing

Thank goodness this debate was not conducted solely to convince him because he had his ear plugs in. Her message is reaching a wider audience

Her message is flushed out. It belongs in the toilet. I love my wife ! I am a MUSLIM and Proud to be 1. ALHAMDULILLAH

I wanted to punch him repeatedly in the face.

But wait, he said he agreed things are “not great” for women 😖😖

She's talking to an Islamist apologist.

You realize he's not against her right? He's challenging her views so we get an honest and understandable answer, watch more head to head, and you'll see he is like this in every single debate, even when he agrees with the other's opinion, he still challenges it, this is amazing journalism, something we don't have anymore thanks to people like you who automatically assume it's a battle, instead of seeing for what it is, a debate

Its his way. Its how the show is done. I have watched many of his interviews.

His job is to scrutinize and ask questions, coming from the position of the status quo. To this end, he is pretty good at what he does. If the ideas being discussed have any merit, they are easily defended. I think it's a good format.

He is always like this with everyone. True Jerk!

Feminist tend to be nut jobs, so I would be sceptical as well.

Giovanni Ramirez but this one is not...

She says herself that she has chosen an extreme standpoint to create more space for diverse arguments between the extremes.

Islam claims that men are a degree above women and are their guardians who can discipline them for being disobedient as prescribed by allah to protect them. An ideology that only allows multiple wives but not multiple husbands is sexist. An ideology which claims that men are the guardians of women (who can discipline them when they are disobedient) as prescribed by allah to protect them is sexist. An ideology which provides virgins for men in heaven but no such equivalent for women is not only sexist but really twisted as well. It is no less offensive to me than an ideology which promotes white supremacy (but there is so much more about islam which is extremely contemptible other than the overt sexism). Google worst countries for women (almost all muslim) and best countries for women (none are muslim), google Gender Gap Index (it is about much more than wage equality), no muslim countries in the top 50, most of the worst 50 countries are muslim. It seems that secular teachings and man's laws are much more effective at protecting women than god's laws and teachings.. This couldn't possibly be so if allah was truly the all-knowing omnipotent creator of the world which he is purported to be. Women have been executed for being raped in muslim countries. Western women have been imprisoned for being raped in muslim countries. Today girls and women have been, are being and will be killed by their own family members because off this ideology they espouse, yesterday girls and women were killed by their own family members because of this ideology they espouse (and so many Western leaders and other apologists pander to enabling its proliferation) and tomorrow girls and women will be killed by their own family members because of this barbaric 7th century ignorance.

@Sassy Sue It is ridiculous to equate any other religion to islam. What world do you live in?

@Sassy Sue When one religion is so much more malignant than the others, it is imperative that we acknowledge that it is because it is. It is blatantly obvious yet so many refuse to do so and even vilify those who do as being bigoted. There is nothing bigoted about being contemptuous of extremely virulent ignorance (and those who espouse it without whom it would be harmless) created by a sadistic, inbreeding, 7th century pedophile warlord who is still the role model for nearly a quarter of the world's population.

Job

Editing. He probably got angrier over the interview but they edited it to make it seem nicer

I feel sorry for these types of men who are so jealous and/or threatened by women. God must be so angry with these inhuman attitudes toward (His) people, and this weak man made Religion against Him. This will not end well!!

Well he's challenging her views, what's wrong with that? This is a debate after all.

It's part of his job smdh

This style is standard for Mehdi. He pushes the people he interviews hard. Mona Eltahawy did excellently.

Dr Ahmed Abdo same herw I agree with you

I'm so happy that there are men that can admit the faults and issues of their society, especially one that is misogynistic in tradition! But the culture still is beautiful through it's flaws. Every culture and every country have traditional views that are still inherently incorporated into every day things subconsciously. Here in America it is better than some countries but we still have many traditions that are misogynistic in nature

Dr Ahmed Abdo the problem is that who ever does that is not a proper Muslim, this really annoys me you can not call a person who does not follow the Quran a Muslim it just doesn’t make sense. It’s like saying a persons a Christian even though he does not believe in Jesus/God.

I think you have forgotten a host job which is to ask questions which he was doing fine ..now you are having problems with him on his job because you are a female and he is male you are chauvinist he isn't !!!!

He's a jerk in other interviews too.

He's always aggressive in his questioning

@@mikk3150 okay so did he beat or pressurised mona ...no nahhhh !!! He was doing his job perfectly

Cuz so many Arab men don’t respect what women have to say. They only wanna be heard but never wanna listen.

Women in my family wear Niqab and not once have they been told to do so. The answer to your question in mind against Niqab is "Modesty" islam teaches Modesty and has a beautiful explaination of what and why a women should veil herself, And family members who chose not to wear it were never treated differently. Infact they are even more religious. Your spirituality is not based upon covering your head or face. You can be a higher ranking Muslim even if you dont wear niqab or hijab.

Blue Rose there’s Christians in those countries too, so ignorant. India treats women like that too and they’re Hindu. Explain that genius🙄 it’s called narcissism, not religion.

Kimberley Searching exactly. I too wonder what beautiful explanation there is for the Niqab

@@raoharrisahmed2516 I respect your family for being open minded but in Saudi Arabia and Iran, women are forced to wear veils. Just saying..

Blue Rose The answer is - ISLAM!

Yes. High quality at high velocity.

Because it was all staged and scripted.

But the interviewer is not hahahaha

@Cole Reed search for mehdi hasan upfront here in youtube and you will learn more about him. He is ALWAYS the devils advocate no matter what opinions the person on the opposite side has and thats what makes him interesting. If everyone agrees, just like a FOX "debate" then whats the point?

Thank you A.

in case you didnt know... that is his job as a host. he is supposed to be a contrarian, he does it in every interview. its literally called head to head.

“There is no religion without love, and people may talk as much as they like about their religion, but if it does not teach them to be good and kind to man and beast, it is all a sham.” ― Anna Sewell, Black Beauty

In future this seriously gonna repeat, as someone who had experience in life! Lol

He interview this way

@@rayannaeem1130 so he is bad at his job.

Exactly..😒

It's not an interview. It's a head-to-head debate! A two way thing!

@@uzafar92 the person was a Host.. I think the head -to-head concept is between the lady and the panel being seated in the first row and the audience... The Host has to look everything is coordinated in a proper way and every one is given a chance to go head-to-head with the lady.... according to my knowledge.🤔 I think the Host took the argument personally 😂, the reason he is been defensive.

we all know how hindoos are so clean and civilized, the amount of gangrapes by high caste women and their lack of punishment proves your utter bullshit

At least rapists have been convincted and laws are being changed. For you, you dont even have laws, you have no respect for women. If a woman gets raped, its her fault and you guys make the woman marry her rapist.. India is not in that condition at least

91rummy india has millions of pending rape cASES, you will be lucky to get your case registered

"india has millions of pending rape cASES"So would most islamic countries, that is if they actually prosecuted by law like india does.

SilveradoNL so your india a self declared superpower has similar problems to pakistan and afghanistan

@Andy Roo the guy in the middle agreeing with her is absolutely amazing

Did you watch the whole show? Because mehdi did something he never did with any other guests. He not only has shown his support but also reassured her that probably 99% of the room agree with her. No one ever got that treatment. Just because we mostly agree with someone does not mean we don't have to ask them critical questions.

She did the same to other women who had different views than her. She kept interpreting them and did it let them complete their thoughts

She's constantly gaslighted and put down by everyone in the room yet she speaks her mind nevertheless and shares the truth. Respect ✊🏻

You are very right

So real. A champion for woman's rights. Freedom for the Muslim women.

I often wonder if those men who treat women and girls with such disrespect are not born of a woman

@@lorrainreid5163 no they jumped out of toaster

Hes got confused and thinks he is steven saker from the bbc

It's not an interview, it's a debate. The segment is called Head to Head after all.

Yes he is

the format is that of a tough interview. they're not intended to undermine the subject, rather they're to dig at deeper truths that the subject might be hiding or is not fully conscious of. it's public scrutiny. mehdi excels at this and guests should know what to expect when they appear

He always does it, at least in religion debates. Checki it out, mayde he's the extremist one

Arab men are the least mysoganistic or arrogant they're so self hating that they're literally killing each other off in the middle east everyday . But on a side note how's about a date ?

Dive Rightin u

Dive Rightin Mm... interesting. Thought provoking post my friend, indeed.

Where are you from 😂

......!! 👏👏👍

Mere Kokiri- Tamanui .

I agree 1000%

Tell them go date a white woman

In Christianity women are not just a bed toy in addition to 72 other bed toys like in Islam and that for ETERNITY !! Mark 12:24 24 Jesus replied, “Are you not in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God? 25 When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven. Lk 20.36 and they can no longer die; for they are like the angels. They are God’s children, since they are children of the resurrection.

@@freespirit7450 some of them do lol

@@setme4ree Let the white women deal with their mess.

What makes him biased?

@@Youboremenow Simple, his words. The words right out of his own mouth. His constant attacks and attempts to discredit his own guest. A moderator asks questions without accusations and bias. He expressed his distain for her views, which he stated were not his own. He had it in for her from the jump. Hope my answer helps.

@@silverserpent420 1)attacks, I presume you mean ad hominem arguments? I don't recall him using any such arguments but if you can link the time stamps Ill rewatch it. 2)Discredit his guest, What is wrong with challenging a guest? As far as I know this format is not about him moderating anything, it's a cross between interviewing and debate. He expressed multiple times that he agrees with her on the problem but raised points of whether her method was the best way forward. I'll be honest I did not get any hate directed at her from him, but more of a I want to see how well thought out your ideas are.

@@Youboremenow I am at a life party. Celebrating a loved one lost in El Paso due to hate. I know hate, I am a person of color. I know dehuminizing tactics as I've personally witnessed it. It's part of regular life here in Texas. Look, I appreciate your kind reply. But I'm sorry I'm not up for a debate at the moment. Let my heart heal. Thank you. I feel my response will be emotional. That's not what I want. Logic, experience and love are what I'd like to convey.

@@silverserpent420 Wow dude, did not mean to disturb you. I hope you and the people around you the best.... do not really know what to say in this situation

They love to have a few women, some of them love women so much, they even collect vast harems full of women. True love.

@@worfoz They treat them like objects. That's so sweet. Omg. TRUE LOVE. This woman doesn't know what she's talking about. Right? We definitely shouldn't give them rights. ( This is sarcastic, Go women)

@@yourstruly3033 In cases like this, comedians can do what politicians can´t: expose the truth. I am an alien, I love humans. I really, really do. Because they taste great, with a nice bottle of chianti and some fava beans....

I was once a muslim but now I am not and I am an atheist living in a muslim country I won't say my Life is pretty bad but I must should say I have no life Have to wear hijab and pretend as a muslim because you might get killed for leaving Islam and they're proud of that

I am planning to run away but it's hard as f

it's not an interview babe, it's a debate.

As an interviewer you are supposed to challenge the person’s point of view. And he does it brilliantly all the time. It’s not against the woman

He himself is against Arabs. But it is the way you ask question to make it clear every point.

Well its best to ask questions that challenge the person views. Its helps to get a better understanding if you come from an opposing point of view.

@@mdmrrakin8301 he cuts her off mid sentence

God bless you and give you years of peace and hapiness

..forgive them,of what they have than wrong to you.

blame ur parents and not religion .. Our family is very religious one and womens are lawyers and doctors .. So stop playing victim card and defame my religion

@@dantialoba1852 Why should she forgive them? They are still doing it to other girls and women.

@@imti1112 She didn't. She wrote nothing of the sort. I will, though, if you want someone to fight. Religion is inherently illogical and pretty much all of them are extremely sexist.

Why U dated him?

YES!! They need to experience this! Great idea!

we do.

LOL

They do

That a great idea.

@@gokcenzkaya can u write that in English lol

Threatened not threaten.

Having had a strong mother, I have sought out strong leftist women all my life, but they just seem to be getting weaker, victims of all sorts of imagined misogyny, and perpetual competitors in the Oppression Olympics, especially in the last 10 years. Finding that almost all strong smart women today have found their way to Right these days. Very disappointing.

@@peterm.eggers520 conservative yaaaaa boi ✊😂

It's everything they didnt want that's why

No I love smart Muslim Wamen like the Wamen scholars of islam which the Saudi government wasabi gavement has hidden yes yes yes

he is an ARAB man with the very issues she is speaking up against.

Totally agree ! It ruins the interview

@@chops9674 but proves her point, although I think women should be free to wear hijab or niqab

I just watched a video, an American soldier in Afghanistan speaks about the American soldiers raping muslim women just because they can. I live in South Africa, here our rights are protected. The countries that are politically oppressed are experiencing this. Muslim men are trying to protect their mothers, wives and daughters from the monsters that are oppressing them, unfortunately, they are coming off as if they are the oppressors. Nobody is speaking up about the west's abuse of the Muslim women but everyone sees the Muslim man trying to marry off his daughter to protect her

Mrgrt D true

Its the way he carries out all his interviews. Male or female- he doesn't discriminate, he will put the person under pressure- it's the way head-to-head interviews are carried out.

He is part of the problem.

Totally agree. This was set up to be a hit squad against Ms. Eltahawy. She's holding her own, and she makes her points respectfully. It really saddens me to see highly educated Muslim women still willing to toe the traditionalist party line and attempt to repudiate the main speaker's points. It reminds me of nothing so much as the women who publicly support Donald Trump. They are all gender traitors, willing to bow to the patriarchy, God knows why.

She’s just brilliant. The journalist is one the best in the world. Go girl Mona

TELL MORE PEOPLE! Down with priative islam!!!!

True... She's brilliant...! 🙏💠❣️💠🙏
