My neighbors are muslim and last year i met them on the stairs on Eid (the last day when the fasting is over) having huge trays and whole lots of food. I said Eid Mubarak to them an they smiled and said bless you .. about an hour later there was a knock on my door and i was greeted by their two youngest daughters and the father holding two MASSIVE plates of food for me. I literally could not eat all of it in one sitting so i had free food for two days

I don't stand with hijabi's. If you acknowledge a Muslim woman's "right to choose" to wear the hijab, you need to be honest and acknowledge that in Pakistan, Afghanistan, and especially Iranian women does NOT have the right to choose. Women are killed for not adhering. If you do not acknowledge that, you are being completely dishonest and you are not a partner for acceptance. And what the woman at 7:30 says is naively ignorant on her part. She can say it, and want it, but it's not what Islamic texts nor the leaders of the "religion of peace" preach. I'm sorry, it's just patently false. Also, I do not accept halal or kosher butchery practice, they are archaic, and are cruel to animals. This video is a puff piece.
