Is the Hijab a Choice? 

Massive respect to those women in Iran who are throwing off their head coverings in protest. #WhiteWednesdays

*If* the hijab is not compulsory, why are for example the *Western women* forced into wearing it when they *visit* Islamic countries?

Islam is a time machine that only travels back to the 7th century. but never brings you back to present day.

I shouldn’t have to cover up my body because a man can’t control himself

If allah created a women, Why the hell he would he wish her to become invisible 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I've seen infants in hijab, it's really heart breaking to me.

Humans wore just tree leaves and animal hides for thousand of years and their god almighty wasn't offended. Muslim god gets a heart attack everytime it sees girl's hair

i left islam because he made a imaginery god called allah for his own desire.

I hate seeing women in the Middle East and Africa wearing Niqab! CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW TORTUOUSLY HOT it must be? That is ABUSE!

Choice? If it was a choice I shouldn't fear the hell out of me when I go out alone unveiled. I'm so scared my parents may caught me. It is a choice as apostacy. You dont have it.

I wear hijab and want to take it off. When I was little my family would always tell me that when you wear hijab you would be "pure, grown up etc.". They would say things like "If you don't want to wear it, you won't, it is your choice, but don't forget that god will not love you and it is a very big sin". Lmao now that I realize it, they were literally brainwashing me. Anyway, then when I turned 12 I had my first period blood and within 2 weeks my mother made me wear the hijab. When I first wore it I thought "this is what I ought to do, it is perfectly normal and god will love me now". I would cry at nights because I knew I actually didn't want to wear it. Lmao. I was in 6th grade when I started wearing hijab. One year later I had to leave from my private school because we were moving to another city and this time I was going to attend a public school. My mother was afraid that children would bully me and said to me "we are going to talk to the school principal about this, and if they don't let you wear it you are not going to wear it, but only until you start high school" I was overwhelmed with joy but tried not to show it. I was pretty sure they wouldn't let me wear it and I could finally take it off. But then my parents came back with "great news". 7th grade was terrible for me. I was the only hijabi in school and most people would make fun of me. One time our music teacher said to me "did your parents make you wear that or did you want to wear it? Because I think you are pretty young to decide by yourself. You are still a child after all." At that time I defended myself by saying things like 'It is completely my own decision to wear this. My family, by no means, is forcing this on me.' But deep down I knew I was lying to myself. I felt horrible. I felt like I was a disgrace to my family. Two years later I found an old book about "women in islam" and the more I read through the pages the more was I horrified. There were things like how women weren't able to decide for themselves, that they had the half brain capacity of a man, they were too emotional and needed a man. I've never felt anything towards boys either so I was really disgusted by the things written in there. It made me not only terrified but angered. I was in rage. I hated men in general. Because of this corrupt religion. But deep down, I was still praying to allah to save me from this darkness. I was really enraged about the homophobia in islam too. The media in my country made it seem like homosexuality was an illness which made me really sad and enraged about the stupid people in my country. And one year later now I am not even muslim. And I am not fluent in English yet. So, excuse me If I made any mistakes. The thing is I want to take it off but I know my family is going to disown me. And I love my family. Unlike most muslim families my family is pretty diverse. To sum it up, my mother instead, is the dominant person in the family. We do whatever she wants us to do. She is a well-educated woman too. She is a teacher and is very passionate about her job. While my father is quite the loner and is a sweet person. My mother is the more religious one tbh. She prays more than five times a day, reads the quran and she actually used to read a lot of books about islam; while my father only prays five times a day and nothing more. My mother was always my favorite person when I was little. Because she is the one who taught me to be a logical person. She is super sweet most of the time. But she clearly stated that -while we were having an argument over "me not being as religious anymore"- she would disown me right away if I were to leave islam. And I know she will do it, because when she says something she always does it. Sometimes I think, if only they weren't muslim, maybe we would have been a happy family together. And we both wouldn't hurt so much. In five years I plan to run away from this country. Because if i don't, we are just gonna hurt each other without stopping. And that just would make me more sad. Lol How did this get here sorry, this got personal fast. I am not fluent in English yet. So, excuse me If I made any mistakes.

I've seen children, young girls of 6 or 7 wearing the head covering....breaks my heart every time.

i was confused with "their sons, their husband's sons", isn't that the same thing? then i remembered it's islam

It’s funny how they are getting mad at the French bc they banned the head scarf but when you go to a Muslim country you must wear it.

No one would wear hijab as a choice. Maybe on an occasion when they have a bad hair day.

Hijab is not a choice, I told my family I don't want this suck and they refuse 😤😤😩

I have seen women in “coverings” even their hands had gloves..... also this took place at a restaurant and the lady ate with her hands with the gloves remaining on.......it was unhygienic at the least and difficult for her to eat with the face veil cover her mouth..... needless to say most of the food ended up on her lap then the floor. 🤦‍♀️ What a miserable existence

It is sad that while so many women in Iran are fighting against hijab, some people are glorifying hijab and even also selling designer hijabs. However, designer hijabs are Haram and taking you to hell anyways.

It makes sense why Islamic countries are not moving forward. Half of their population the women, are imprisoned, beginning with the hijab. Thank you for this enlightening discussion.

I am an atheist and I wanted to study Islam and build up critiques as a person who lives in a population with a dense Muslim population, but I couldn't find time. Your channel helps me do some "bookmarking". Can't support you financially yet, but I am very grateful. You have my support!

One day you will have more subscribers then you will know what to do with 😌😌 I'll be there to see it. Huge respect and blessing from India.

I've been wearing a headscarf since I was 11 years old and this makes me really tired, I feel like I'm suffocating. I feel more confident and beautiful when I am not wearing a hijab. I could not run properly, play and live my childhood because of the fear that my hijab would be opened. Because of my family, I can't dress the way I want, 2 days ago my father wanted to buy me a long overcoat and I made it clear with my facial expression that I didn't want it. My father shouted at me and said that as long as I lived in his house, I had to adopt his ideas and that not wanting to follow God's orders was the worst evil. I am 16 years old now and I am studying at high school from a distance because my father thinks that women should not be educated among men. My only hope is to gain economic freedom when I come of age and go to university in a city far from my family. If I can't do that, my father will marry me to a radical Muslim man of his own mentality, and I will have to obey him for the rest of my life. This is my biggest fear in life...

Islam clearly imopse hijab On womem ,

Turks were a great nation even before they adopted Islam. This religion did not help the Arabs, Iranians, Egyptians and others to unite with Turks to form a nation. Conversely, it weakened the Turks’ national relations; it numbed Turkish national feelings and enthusiasm. This was natural, because Mohammedanism was based on Arab nationalism above all nationalities/ Mustafa Kemal Atatürk

It is dehumanizing women. I feel sick when women are objectified by comparison to a lollipop (WTF!?) It's absolutely disgusting!

It is my choice to be force by a Patriarch religion to cover myself up or other wise if I am raped I would be at fault.

My sister is like 6 and my parents got her a hijab and makes her wear it outside and apparently she 'loves it' lol #ExMuslim

The hijab and other coverings were meant to distinguish Muslim women (who couldn't be touched) from the slave girls -the ones that the Koran refers to as 'those who your right hand possesses " these didn't have to cover up at all and were probably open slather.More often than not these slave girls were discouraged from converting to Islam because then they would have to be treated completely differently and would have to cover up.Slaving raids to procure sex slaves especially blonde and fair ones was one of the constant themes in Islamic history and there were raids as far afield as Ireland and Iceland.

It's actually a choice because you have to choose between wearing the Hijab or being thrown out. The choice is yours.

God bless you for exposing this evil cult.

when i see a woman in a niqab i get way more curious i want to see what she looks like. usually niqabis have nice eyes, or maybe they just look nice because its all you can see, and many of the ones I've seen wear eye make up along with their niqab lol. eyes can be very seductive.... so why aren't the eyes covered? why doesn't allah do the smart thing and command his intelligent arabs to create a virtual presence device for their women. so the women can send out robots with a camera to public places from the comfort of their bedroom. surely the science-rich arabs can come up with that, i mean they can use the scientific miracles of the quran to build it.

I am one of the examples of a woman who wore hijab voluntarily. My father was a conservative muslim, but my mother was moderate liberal type and she has never been wearing hijab till today. I knew my father wanted me and mother to wear hijab but he never forced us. When I was 14, I was taught in school that hijab is mandatory and not wearing it is a huge sin, so I started wearing it. For the first few months, I felt empowered, because of the justifications of hijab is 'when a woman covers up, then people especially men would see her intellect, character, not just her body'. Two or three years later, I didn't feel like wearing it anymore, I was still muslim, and I tried so hard to convince myself to keep wearing it and also pretending to like it. After being an ex muslim, I also had to keep wearing it, so people would not be suspicious and kept asking why I took it off. I live in a muslim majority country, hijab is not legally enforced, but it is still not a choice when your religion and the entire community view hijab as mandatory. I took my hijab off recently, but I'd been avoiding any discussions about it because I'm stil a closeted ex muslim. I know there are a lot of muslim women who like wearing it and they would have chosen to wear it even if it's not compulsory in islam. But I am sure there are a lot muslim women who don't like wearing hijab but they can't say it.

The men should control their lust. Also men can disguise themselves by wearing the full niqab.

Pls upload a video on *Taqiya*

in Switzerland I feel they wear that to feel superior to others

It always amuses me when ignorant people compare the hijab to a nun’s veil. The women who are nuns CHOOSE to be nuns. They choose to wear the habit and live according to their faith. The muslim women don’t have that choice. They are forced into wearing veils. I was cheering when I saw the footage of those Iranian women throwing off their head coverings.

I lived in China 8 years and almost NO Uighur women wore the Hijab. My personal assistant was a Uighur Muslim woman and she never wore a Hijab.

The number one job of any cult member, is to keep the other cult members of the cult in line.

*RU-vid* keeps unsubscribing me from this channel. I dont care how many times they try to hide the truth, i will come back and subscribe again.

Video starts at 1:36. Lol (Also, sorry for the audio quality. Recorded it with wrong microphone and didn't do a voice-over because it sounded unnatural.)

I definitely cannot survive in muslim countries, I feel uncomfortable even wearing hats, my head starts to itch.. 🤣🤣🤣 and no its not dandruff 🤣

EVEN, HIJAB CANNOT SAVE A WOMAN FROM GETTING HARASSED .. LOL!! 😂😂.. In my country, THERE ARE CERTAIN PLACES WHERE A WOMAN WITH NORMAL DRESSING IS SAFE.. BUT, A WOMAN IN BURQA ATTRACTS A NUMBER OF STARES..

I think there should be a "World NO Hijab - THROW Hijab Day" - where "real", strong, women of the world get to show their empathy with Muslim women around the world, who are forced to wear a hijab against their own wishes. They could start by putting on a hijab & looking very sad, glum & down-trodden - then the highlight of the day would be when they, altogether at a certain time of the day, get to throw off their hijabs & jump for joy at their new-found freedom, happiness, & excitement, because they are no longer required to wear an item of clothing they do not want to wear. Cameras around the world could capture the excitement on the faces of these women as they eagerly rip off their hijabs & throw them in the air! The purported "feminists" of this world who support this "World Hijab Day" - claiming that the hijab "empowers" women, are just showing absolute disdain for their fellow women in the world - the many millions of Muslim women around the world who are being forced to wear the hijab against their wishes, & for whom it is no choice at all - because Islam actually teaches that it is compulsory for Muslim women to cover themselves in that manner. It may be very easy for some Muslim women living in western countries to claim that they are not being forced to wear the hijab & that they are wearing it by their own personal choice - but that's their personal decision & it is not a choice given to them by their religion of Islam. It is therefore unfair of them to promote, advertise & celebrate their personal choice to wear the hijab - when so many of their Muslim "sisters" elsewhere, are not able to exercise such a choice - & actually prefer not to war a hijab.

Ur brave dude. Mad respect for u

my sister knew a muslim who had to hide in the women's bathroom at her school to show my sister her hair, or else her family (which worked, went and were around the school) would find out. it's most definitely not a choice, or out of compulsion, it is forced.

Your references to Quran and Hadiths etc are getting much better and add legitimacy to your vids. Thank you

You are the first person I have decided is worth supporting financially on patreon.

I’ve been learning so much from you. Thank you for making these videos, never quit! We’ll follow to other platforms

thank goodness you kept your channel. ...... please backup your videos just in case.

It’s weird af that they make little girls announce to the world “I’ve started my period now!”

I am women who never heard any word of anyone .....I do what I like.....I never hear the society words or my parents. To some extent I hear my husband words until it is told in love..he shouts, I will not hear it..just think if I was in Islam ...I would be burnt on the very first day...either by my father or my brother or my husband..Thanks that I am born as Hindu...

I grew up in India, in a muslim majority town. When I was a kid I used to see few muslim girls using burqa and few without. As the time went by I thought the practice would become less prevalent. But by mid 2000s, I began to see the kinds of zakir naik on TV/internet and their influence growing. Now I see more burqas then before. Once I saw a two kinder garden going girls with their mother waiting at a bustop. Those kinder gardeners were also in their burqas.

Once I had a muslim girlfriend. I never saw her with a Hijab between another "non-islamic" practices (if u know what I mean). But She was quite anti-semitic and had a fixation with Hitler tho. I think Islam is more about hate than anything else.

It irritates me that I used to believe this, not only THAT but feared the consequences of removing it. 😒

It’s funny how they are getting mad at the French bc they banned the head scarf but when you go to a Muslim country you must wear it.

Yes. It's a choice between wearing it or being on the receiving end of social pressure, abuse and criminalisation

I will never wear a niqab.

They tell her when she wears it oh you look so beautiful, then when she decide to remove it they threaten her with hell.. i never wear it when i was muslim but i had to when i pray and my friend be like oh look how pretty you are with hijab while i knew i look shit with it

Letterboxes are very oppressive. My Muslim girl students honestly don't want to wear it and they want to be around like all other girls.

You said it like it should be said. 👍 We need more such rational men like you to pierce the veil of Holy Islam.

As an ex Muslim woman: hijab is not a choice .. little girls are told they will go to hell if they don’t. Little boys are told that this life is not worth anything and the hearafter is everything. They crave the afterlife from age 7. So sad. It’s ANTI LIFE.

lol!!! ALLAH TOOK INSPIRATION FROM AL- UMAR... HAAHAA..!!!

One thing I wonder about islam: is the beard mandatory to men?

Hot diggity AP! You're so RIGHT ON! It all depends on what the Qur'an and Hadiths say. Muhammad and Allah PERIOD. I adore you AP!

I was on a walk 1 day. I saw a little girl (3-4 yrs with 1 on. It 💔 😭

I love your videos mate. You are getting better and better, so do your videos as well! Their are interesting, based not only on the islamic sources but also on facts/reality that islam creates. Well done! Viel Erfolg! Ich habe ebenfalls in Deutschland gelebt und somit spreche ich Deutsch. Nun wohne ich in England und ehrlich gesagt, bin ich oefter mal schockiert, wenn ich sehe, was Muslims hier alles anstellen. Das Ex-Muslim-Movement gibt es hier natuerlich auch, aber der ist ziemlich stark unterdrueckt bei den muslimischen Communities (ueberwiegen bei den Pakistanis, die echt ziemlich extrem sind). Ich bin Kurde, aber nicht aus der Tuerkei LOL (ich bin urspruenglich aus dem Iraq).

in 50° Celsius, it can never be a choice for sure :)

And considering Qur'an is ETERNAL, nothing Qur'an says is invalid today EXCEPT for some Meccan aya which have been abrogated. So maybe you can tackle the commands that deal with subjugation of non Muslims next?

I've always thought islam was crap, but thank you for this additional confirmation.

Apostate Prophet.... If you did not exist, you should be invented..... You're doing a great job, and it's why many questioning individuals need to hear you... unfortunately, you have to face much negativity and aggression from the moslems, who are SO disturbed by your honesty, your determination and your remarkable common sense..... But please do NOT give up, since too many victims of islam out there need you and many, many atheists and various decent human beings are supporting and will support you..... THANKS DUDE and CHEERS!!!!

Your moustache is iconic.

Hi, so great to have you around exposing all the lies... thanks for that 😃 ! Also your sense of humor in face of all this backward nonsense is refreshing and relaxing... 😉 maybe you could also talk about the steps Islam takes from minority to majority and how the ultimate goal is to institutionalize Sharia and why not all Islamic countries are ruled by Sharia (yet)... thanks again for the amazing work !

I wear hijab and hijab never been my choice, it's my brothers and my father choice to cover my hair and control my life and I can't do anything about I have no right to complain about it

Have you seen Linda Sourosess, she uses more makeup put more hijab to make them attracted

what's the purpose of wearing HIJAB young generation HIJAB is understood but even 70 years old wear HIJAB why CONCEPT behind HIJAB

Maybe hijab was imposed because Muhammad had so many captured beautiful wives and slaves? I believe it started only after his own first wife had died, and he started having so many beauties which he wanted to avoid his men to see?

Hopefully your victory will set a precedent for future tries to censor free speech. Keep it up with the great videos! :)

I see many muslim women wearing hijab in my country nowadays, hijab in its various forms or models. The number of muslim women wearing hijab seems growing everyday. There are many shops selling muslim apparels everywhere. It becomes a big business in fashion industry. When a muslim woman decides to wear hijab, it is called she does "hijrah", in the expectation that she will practice the teachings of Islam in its fullest way (kaffah) in everyday life. When a muslim woman wearing hijab, it is meant that she doesn't want to attract men to see or glare at her body which is believed may lead to provoking lust. In reality, as you may see in public spots, it is common that even though a woman is wearing hijab at the surface, you may still see the detail curvatures of her body. At the same time, you may also see that many of them (hijabers) do kind of things, such as: - holding hands with a man who is not her muhrim, - to be transgender, - listening to secular music, - singing and dancing in public, - some of them are making hoax, fraud, or slander, - talking about other people business, - and many more ... All kind of doings which I believe to be discouraged or forbidden by Islam teachings. So I am intrigued to ask myself, "So what's the point by wearing hijab then when you do such deviations from initial intention? You are not different from woman not wearing hijab." The conclusion: I believe many of them (hijabers) decide to wear hijab - even when there are some family members ask to do so - not based on religious motivation. Instead they wear hijab only to beautify their physical appearance, or in other words, they only want to have more beautiful looking. Wearing hijab in this case is solely motivated by its fashion using, not driven by religious motivation, especially in moderate muslim environment. It's my opinion.

Muslim women are practically force to wear hijab.. Their Imans gives sermons saying women who don't wear hijab or head covering are not Muslims. Muslim community will also criticize women who didn't cover their heads..Children as young as 3 or 4 years old are made to wear hijab.

“There is no right not to be offended.” - one of the wisest things I’ve heard in a LONG time!

This hijab and borkha is ruining my life 💔😭 hope i find my freedom soon 😢

I have massive respect for you for speaking the truth.

Muslim women do not wear the hijab by choice. The revolution that took place in Iran in 1979 is proof of that. Now I want any Muslim in this world right now to try telling me that if your prophet Muhammad was alive during the revolution would rebuke the Iyatolla kohmeni for forcing Muslim women to wear the hijab.

It’s a choice that most Muslim women are compelled to choose

Make a video comparing Zoroastrianism with Islam and other religion

what do you think, should Islam be reformed or modernized? or will it fade to the point where these things will be optional and traditional things?

Apostate Prophet: what is your opinion on Western countries allowing Muslim women to wear the hijab?

Jesus said “it is not food that defiles man, but it is the things that come from the heart thats more important” Thats why some of us Christians eat pork.

I know a muslim girl who wishes to live according to her. Her parents were okay with her decision but these ordinary people considered that as a great sin.So she was forced to wear hijab.

Listen. Very Simple. Hijaab IS NOT A CHOICE. ITS A MUST. Just like you must pray. However you have the choice to wear it and get blessings or choose not and get sins. You can have a family that doesn't teach you what is right and what is wrong.

Me: sees colored strands of keratin protein sprouting from a random scalp Also me: *heavy breathing* pray for me brothers

man u r so so damn funny. i remember anout the 50 times prayer and u quoted "dude thats too.much"!!!!:-) lmfao pls keep on goung and busting and revealing myths and realities. more and more power to you!!!

Please keep doing this you're doing a great job

This IS not a religion, this is a ideology, a religion is by choice ideology is forced. When are people going to wake up a see that!

Pls upload a video on *taqiyya*

That you got reported is a sign that you are doing it right!

Thank you man, your efforts are appreciated. ISLAM should be reformed otherwise the religious conflicts will be enormous. If Muslims want to connect with different societies then they must respect freedom of humans. You are free to choose a religion, but your religion is only for you.

If only Muhammad didn't listen to Omar...

Due to these wahhabi culture, many countries who had beautiful cultural and folk dresses are leaving their culture and adopting the burqas n all. Sad

This is a primitive practice as a religion, people who have very little self restrain and control; nomdaic and rustic culture.
