Muslim NYPD chaplain: saluted in uniform, harassed as a civilian 

As a white American Christian, and as a decent human being with a heart, I stand with Khalid. Our Muslim brothers and sisters don't deserve this kind of disrespectful treatment.

Incoming ignorant conservatives claiming this is liberal propaganda.

Man that's must feel pretty dehumanizing to have to deal with that every time you go to an airport.

The media needs to call much more of the FBI's bullshit.

"At urinals they turn around and salute me". I sure hope they stopped peeing before turning around

The most chilling sentence in this video, 'You're just too good to be true'. What does that even mean?!

He is such a handsome guy. I can't decide whether "you are too good to be true" is a great compliment to his achievements or deeply hurting, since society does not believe any Muslim can be like him.

Unfortunately for Khalid and any person darker than mayonnaise, shit's about to get tough.

This is so important. Often people don't realize what it is like for in a minority in America. Yes there HAS been progress, but there is still a long way. Especially now, with all the xenophobia thats been coming to light recently.

Ah man. I really want to work for the police department but I'm a young female Muslim. I don't think it's worth the hassle of being covertly discriminated against. Well that's my dream down the drain.

So dehumanizing.

Have some respect for the dude he has always been tolerant with the discrimination he had to experience . Even while serving and concern for those kind of people safety .

Applause to him for standing up and speaking on the behalf of Peaceful ordinary Muslims who currently live in the United States as Citizens. Respect 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

I'm really enjoying this series! Keep it up Vox 👍🏼

That story about the FBI gave me chills. "You're just too good to be true, and we're watching you". Really goes to show there's no winning with the current political climate in western culture.

I am a muslim who lives in Canada, and I feel extremely lucky because we have very few racial problems here. However, I have family friends in the US, plus my dad works there, so I still am worried about problems like this.

Wow this man is so patient.

AMERICANS, YOU SHOULD ASK YOURSELF HOW THESE MISCONCEPTIONS GOT IMPLANTED INTO YOUR BRAIN

If I could become president, I would do compulsory religious studies in the School system to create better understanding and tolerance, if we are going to build a society based on tolerance and acceptance this is what we must do in order to achieve a religious and racial commune.

Vox, thank you for making these videos and opening our eyes to the harsh reality around us. It is such a shame that such a man that has worked so hard in this country, has to go through so much hatred.

I used to look up to America as a child... Was I wrong or did it all just get F'd up?

Respect, brother. America needs more people like you.

I AM A MUSLIM! AND I SALUTE THE GUYS HERE AT VOX FOR SHOWING WHO THE TRUE MUSLIMS ARE! AND HOW THEY ARE LIVING THERE LIFE IN USA AND LITERALLY A OVER THE NON-MUSLIM WORLD! Keep it up Man! Keep it up! #IslamTheReligionOfPeace!

Who would dislike this?? Have we not learned anything as a human race yet

I love that story with his wife, that was pretty heartwarming

This is beautiful. Thank you Vox.

Every time I fly I have come to accept that I will be pulled aside for an extra check. N they call these "random checks". How is it random when it's the same individuals getting pulled aside.

I know that feeling he is talking about at airports and in flights when you know it's going to be you that will be the "randomly" checked individual because of the color of your skin or how you look. It has happened to me so many times and every time it just feels as degrading as the first. When airport security rummage through my carry-on trying to find something not there and talking to you like you are beneath them and not equal, my thoughts are always the same like how can someone be so cynical and decisive of a person just because of their appearance.

Wow! This is truly an enlightening video, it makes you think twice about how America, a nation of immigrants, can be so close minded.

We're lucky our typical ethnic attributes are not always as obvious and recognisable as black people for examples, it's a shame they too still get discriminated after so much time.

Can we still claim to be the good guys when we treat people like this? It's like we're actively trying to push people towards becoming resentful potentially radicalized.

really beautify piece ... I applaud his work and optimism... but while he believes things can change.. I do not... it's sad to say but it's true... if you disagree look no further than the recent election...

why english speakers call religious prejudice and xenofobia... "racism"

Thank you, Officer Latif, for your amazing work to make the world a better place. I stand with you.

I'm Christan and I love everyone

With Trump as president this will only get worse

I've heard it once but I will pass it on *Say it louder, so the people in the back can hear*

FBI ..... wtf ,this is embarrassing to them

Why can't you just respect us as human beans :'(

So real. As a Turkish American I love this series. Thank you Vox!

The world is changing, the climate is changing, the people are changing but Americans with their views on minority people aren't changing. They had all the time to change and I thought Americans were changing their views but after this election that thought was erased from my mind.

Really really good content. This stuff is why I love vox ❤️

finally the unbias channel

"Two [FBI] agents came into my living room. I got them seated, and said 'What is it that you really want from me?' and they said 'Look: you're just too good to be true, and we want you to know that we're watching you'." - 21st century America.

I feel like the FBI has been portrayed way too well in the media so far

I met him before at my local mosque. he's a very moving speaker.

I'm a man who honestly believes all religion should be eradicated. But I know that won't happen soon, and I know that the problem people are minorities and do not represent their religion as a whole. So I respect people no matter their religion, despite my belief that religion should go away.

So FBI agents and TSA agents openly admitted that they stopped him because he's Muslim? Something isn't adding up.

this guy is dope

ALLAH bless you brother

It astounds me how different America became after 9/11. How one event effected so many people's lives, it effected culture, law, and society. People have been murdered for it, sent to war, countless families have lost loved ones on that day and since, laws have been enacted to prevent terrorism, more laws are in question to help all the first responders who have cancer and are dying or have died due to their service that day, airport security completely changed, Muslims who previously hadn't been experiencing racism felt that drastically change. That day effected so many people in so many different awful ways. Keep it up Vox. It's so great that you are starting important conversations.

Khalid is so friggin cool, man.

These are really well told stories. Good Job Vox.

Lovely video as always!

is this really racism? i think xenophobia mostly, with a little racism. hating muslims is xenophobic. if a baby from muslim ancestry was raised in a different culture without religion, no one would think he or she was muslim. that's different from being latino or asian

Love the series. That FBI part hit me hard.

Come to Australia! The most tolerant country. Where i live there is a mosque around the corner. A buddhist temple about 3 blocks away and we accept any kind of faiths

So he really believes things can change? Guess that was taped before the election. Or does he mean for the worse?

this series is so important. thank you

FBI: You are to good to be true. WTF?

Yo this is literally my Imam at my masjid lolll the algorithm is getting too specific

This guy spoke at my school... I liked him... though I couldn't get the thought out of my head that his voice sounded like he was a chain smoker... which he isn't

great video and a great series. keep the amazing work.

I loved these stories. This is a really good series. Keep up the amazing work

Now imagine having these exact problems without being Muslim but just because of middle eastern appearance

It's amazing how (nearly) no one would dislike this video yet they would dislike the videos that are criticizing a man who promote this way of xenophobic thinking. And when i tell my american friends that the problem they have with pc culture is that they have no pc culture they laugh at me, saying that they are too much pc. If that's not hypocritical then i don't know what is.

i had to watch this for my class and i really wanted my teacher to scroll to the comments

this is an awesome series guys. it really gives is a whole new perspective. well done and hope to see more

I'm so happy that Vox is making these videos. We, as a unified nation, need to normalize the goodness of other cultures and religions, not the actions of someone like President-elect Trump.

Incredible guy and incredible video keep it up

Really good series, keep it up Vox!

I'm not a practicing Muslim but my name happens to be Mohammed. I've travelled to the US many times and every single time I was supposedly selected by a computer for random security checks, many times held for several hours for questioning. I don't dislike the US but small things like that completely alienates me from wanting to travel there. I changed my job to avoid travelling to the US.

Amazing video! Great point

What version of Islam is he practicing? He obviously is a good guy. Could he go visit and get along with imams in Iran or Saudia Arabia? Islamic Caliphate?

Wow he met with Pope Francis, Dalai Lama and with president Obama, wow just wow

when I see videos like these, I tend to avoid the comments since they are usually always disappointing and ruin my initial feeling of hope for our future, but the comments under this video are so uplifting, really restored my faith on humanity :)

great video.

and now please do one on the Muslim chaplain in Toronto ;)

they call it a "random" check, yet it is not a "random" check at all.

I was in France in the international airport for a connecting flight, with my disabled mother and my sister. (They both wear hijabs ) The wheel chair for my mother was running late, and we were going to miss our flight, so we went to the office where there were some employees working and asked for a wheel chair, they looked at us once and said nothing and ignored us as we asked them (in french, and english so that we made sure that could understand what we were saying), we figured that they were busy and waited until they could help us, then sat down. Then about 2 minutes later an white elderly person came to the desk asked for a wheel chair and they helped her and got her a wheel chair in about 5 minutes. We came to the desk again and asked for a wheel chair and they called security on us, but lucky for us the security officer was Algerian and when we explained what happened he finally got us a wheel chair. Though I don't know what their intentions were, I will never have a connecting flight in France again.

I know this comment will be buried, and if not, maybe mocked, but this treatment is perpetuated by our Govt. because of who runs it. Corporations, Raytheon, GE, Vivendi, Pepsico, Monsanto, Disney, etc. The leaders of these and other companies profit off our fear, and their meta narrative drives you to buy their products that sate your fear's calming. Body Scanners, anti-muslim movies, cheap sugary food. I would never do this, but the corporations that I purchase from, pay money to politicians to pass laws that force the average joes working in govt. to do this.

lack of dislikes disconcerts me.

i love this series, thanks vox

Vox please get this. People who are critical of Islam don't hate the people, thy hate the ideology and the actions that are taken in the name of that ideology.

3:06 No, you should have come to the Caribbean much sooner ;p

Is it particularly unreasonable that a Muslim man should be under more scrutiny at an airport?

Can't believe this is actually happening... Thank you for educating people on this matter

"too good too be true, now we are watching you." "Haters gotta hate" this is the only line i can think of.

when ever we say terrorism only one religion comes to our my mind why?

Why did he join the pork patrol though?

Thank you vox for making this video.

2 FBI agents investigating you because you're 'too good to be true'. What the actual f*ck

Thanks to VOX for this type of video.

This was very powerful 🥺❤️

Awesome doesn't even begin to describe this man. And the video. Kudos, Vox.

Damn, this was excellent. Good job Vox!

Never stop smiling brother, your patience will win them over.

cool dude. Another good video from Vox

traveling as a kid, i thought it was normal for parents to be pulled aside at airports. it definitely is traumatizing.

I am very sorry sir for your discomfort but to ignore the fact that there has been major attacks and credible threats from people of a similar background and to attribute caution as a result as racism is either niave or malicious
