As I encountered other religions with less misunderstanding I started to see things differently, and when I discovered and studied Islam, I found my connection and a source of amazing scholarship and deep understanding. Because Islam originated with Muhammed in Arabia and environs in ancient, biblical times, the cultural and time determined aspects of the religion and culture can seem foreign because they are! But the truths and practices are universal so don't ever be discouraged, look to your inward understanding while pursuing outward knowledge that may help you develop the perspective and knowledge that will click for you.

And as for testimonies, women are more emotional then men, its a Fact, so women can tend to be swayed by emotions, like the phrase, “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned”, so women’s testimonies can be swayed very easily by emotions and hormones too. And as for girls being forced to wear the headscarf, where are you getting this information from the Anti-islam/anti-muslim media or the French. Headscarf should be encouraged, not forced, it was instructed to women to honour us and to make us feel like if we are loved and appreciated, its cause of our mind & soul, not our body or looks. And if anything men are getting mire sins then women, cause Muslim men are instructed to lower their gaze if the presence of non-relative women.

@@saiqhai9968 I appreciate your intention but denying reality is not very helpful at all! Infact when it comes to Sharia the reality of a person or people plays a pivotal role in legislation in various situations. I am white and Scottish and infact I belong to a certain Scottish clan and this holds importance for me!! Islam does not demolish a person's identity rather it kicks out the haram and harmful and the rest can stay!! The companions did not deny their Arabian ethnicity!!! Rather they embraced the good thereof. Yes their case is slightly different because Arabic is the language of Islam and should be the second language of every non Arab Muslim because its obligatory on every Muslim to learn it as many imams have declared! Being an Arab wont get you into Jannah or being white but that doesn't mean that it's not important because Allah clearly says in the Quran that he has made us into different nations and tribes so that we come to recognize and come to know each other!! The different diverse cultures of different races and nations is something natural and it distinguishes people and identifies them and it's very very beautiful! To say theres no white Muslim is to deny my and many others reality and roots. It's a very ill thought out statement but I appreciate the meaning that we are Muslim first before anything else and that these differences of culture and race are secondary to the unity of the ummah! However these days the ummah is divided on sectarian and theological differences and so I suppose you will object when I say that I am a Hanbali/Shaafi'i even though I studied these schools in depth with authority and authorisation after conclusion and passing exams becoming part of a long chain of Muslims being authorized in the same texts stretching back 1300+ years! And so ascribing to these schools is true and lawful because it denotes the legal methodology I follow and this has been accepted practice for the same 1300+ years and Imam Ibn Taymia رحمه الله concedes this because he is an Imam of the Hanabila so hes an Arab Hanbali Muslim whether you like it or not. As long as these personal realities dont divide then they are perfectly permissible.

I am muslim from the middle east , my heart dances with joy when I see my African Americans sisters walking the street with their hijab on, such pure strong women

[@aidabintimohamudkpm-guru3786]

[@Joseph-df6pu]

[@videogamesplanet6631]

Alhamdulilah. May Allah make it easier for you brother.

This was pretty interesting. I think it's definitely people like him that can help eliminate the lunacy many people in this country have. They need to see what it looks like for cultures to blend. I'm an atheist, so I don't see the spread of any religion as good for society, but I do see peaceful interaction between cultures as good. So long as it leads away from stronger worship to the ethereal and more towards the growth of knowledge and improvement of the scientific process.

[@aluisious]

Worship of the ethereal would be fine. The universe is beyond our comprehension, if someone wants to have feelings of wonderment and awe about that, it seems reasonable enough to me. It's when they start giving their gods stupid names like Dave, and commandments like Dave says you've got to throw a sturgeon at anyone walking on the north side of the street on a Wednesday, that there's a problem. That's not ethereal, that's a very well defined kind of stupidity that by intuition and reason can't have anything to do with the actual mysteries of the universe.

[@bubabarrow4960]

To say that you don’t see the spread of any religion as good for society is your opinion and you’re entitled to it. You too do have a religion and it is atheism so believe what you believe and let others do the same. You know even a pin is made by someone and it’s made to serve a purpose but a complex being like a human or any living breathing thing is an accident is silly. Look around and tell me what was/is not made by someone. I’m an engineer and know no logical arrangement comes about through accidents. If you truly believe you came about as a result of an accident, you’re devoid of logic.

[@All_praise4Allah]

White muslim here from South Carolina lol. Yeehaw!!! Great work brother. My name is also shane 😂😂😂 small world Allahu ackbar

[@sher1411]

with all due respect, this white black red thing should be kept away from Islam.

[@UmmahUnified]

"you gain your humanity"... Such a great point

[@Assasin89FT]

Shane! an ocean of inspiration and goodness, with a blessed heart of faith and humanity, May Allah help us to follow the straight path, amen

[@bugatea]

Great cinematography with positive massage. I wish they make more of those videos.

[@HypatiaMuse]

This was an amazing & heartening film. In current times, it's so hard to not be cynical about fellow Americans & see how fear of the Other is so entrenched and made a big resurgence despite decades of movements & messages urging people to think differently. Its good to be reminded there are still people even in our small towns & most conservative areas who are living by example and showing there are constructive ways to come together and respect each other despite our differences by showing what we share in common as humans

[@guledfaisalali9388]

Maansha Allaah I am Happy to watch American people converting to Islam only think they have to understand is in Islam there is no colour we are all children of Adam .

[@zehrajafri9252]

What a loving, caring husband, so touching.

[@حمزةبنسليمان-ن6و]

God does not look at the color of our skin, because He is the one who gave it to us.What Allah sees is taqwa in our hearts

What's wrong with black eyed peas and cornbread?

[@sudevsen]

Robyn Ragone it's what poor rural farmers eat

[@moviedude22]

My first thought. There's nothing wrong with either of them. They complement one another quite well.

[@harryball-sax4298]

I'm glad I checked the comments. I was going to literally leave this exact same comment. Word for word.

[@diane9247]

Lol! I wondered that myself - and I grew up in California!

[@amapparatistkwabena]

Robyn Ragone IKR? That’s what I was thinking! I want some now in Europe and can’t get any... guess I’ll have to make some myself.
