I am a Christian woman of 36, living in Italy. I don't want to be a say-at-home mom, I have many interests and I wouldn't feel completly satisfied if I'd dedicated myself to the household completely. HOWEVER...I have been told since the day I remember that the most important thing was my job, that marriage was useless and had no meaning and of course, to get married (if I really had too) as late as I could, that I should "explore my sexuality" and have as much "fun" as I could and "if" I want to have kids I should never allow them to be an obstacle in front of my having fun and career. Oh! And of course that I should NEVER be a "slave" to my husband because he should be able to take care of himself if he was a "real" man. I and feel completely betrayed! I have come to find and accept the fact that in realty...as a woman, I would have LOVED to get married as a young woman, I would have loved to have more than one child, that I actually enjoy taking care of my daughter AND my husband, that my body is the most sacred place that I live in and I should protect it, that all the "sexual revolution" that I was told freed women...was a LIE. And I truely hope I will be able to show this to my daughter as well.

Gianni Versace once said that "women need to explore their sexuality." (That wasn't for the benefit of women, of course).😂😂 But you know, everyone is mislead and falls into error at some time in our lives. I respectfully suggest that you take a further look at the beauty and place of the Christian woman, readily available to you at your fingertips in the Catholic church. Try to find a spiritual director within the church who can guide you further.

I love what you are saying, I felt the same fervor with regards to the topic of sexuality. I wish I could shield all the women in the world from the false narrative of having any other sexual partner besides the one that’s worthy of it by show of his committing his life to yours. It’s crazy how the television and culture of the west has misled and misused women. Let’s protect our daughters from that and pray for a better future for all the women in our world. I really love your statement

After receiving the first revelation, Prophet Muhammad went to Khadījah (may God be pleased with her) and said: ‘Cover me! Cover me!’ She covered him, until the fear had left him, then he told her what had happened, saying: ‘I feared for my life.’ Khadījah responded: ‘No, by God. God would never humiliate you. You maintain family ties, help to carry people’s burdens when they are tired, you give to the poor, you are generous to your guests, and help people in times of hardship.’ Whenever I remember how she assured him, I just cry. So when I see my husband come home tired from work, I give him Salam because how Khadija cared for her husband makes me appreciate my own husband. What rahma, what mercy.

I was born and raised in Italy with a Christian family. My parents are not so religious but my grandmother was, peace be upon her. She try teach me values which I am very grateful for. I found difficult at time to deal with other girls ( in my twenties) that liked to talk about having sex with as many man as possible, they thought it was fun and their right to do so; I didn’t and they made fun of me. I also remember the pressure I felt about this subject since I was 12. My peers were discussing about it and show themselves off when they have done it. It made me feel uncomfortable. Whenever I showed sign of interest in God and religion in general they also made fun of me and made feel I was stupid. Today I am a revert Muslim mother (34 years ) of two children married with a man and I love this very much. I couldn’t ask for more Alhamdullilah. I am obviously not hanging out with these type of people anymore. I changed and I am wondering if they changed too. This society is sick and it really brainwashed us specially young girls. I really hope many will watch this InshAllah

[@cocolee9528]

I’m so glad I found this conversation. I’m a non-religious/athiest (raised Catholic) young 40+ woman with two kids (4 and 6) living in the US and this resonates so much. I was having a hard time articulating why I thought this new-wave feminism was eroding society - why I felt so lost with working a corporate job, why I couldn’t keep a relationship, married and divorced within 6 months at 28. My mother was also a victim of societal programming and never has been able to get out of the trap, as she (a 63-year-old woman) continues to jump from relationship to relationship (it’s really sad and pathetic.) I had no positive female role models. I didn’t live with my dad (he remarried and had another baby with a stepmother who was jealous of a 5-year-old), nor did he raise me, because my mother took us away from after she decided she was done with marriage with a 3-year-old and 1-year-old baby-we visited him every other weekend. After finally having children at 35 and 37, it wasn’t until I was in the throes of motherhood that I realized this is all WRONG-this is not the way we are supposed to raise children. How could women (my mother) tear their children away from their father, break up the family unit, and throw their children into all-day, year-round daycare? In the West, we are watching the downfall of society. I think women should have choices and rights and all of the freedoms that humans should have, but I do think we/society threw out the baby with the bathwater-pun intended. Feminism has demonized traditional values, self-worth and self-respect, family, children, respect for our elders. It’s always baffled my mind that in the US women only get 8 weeks maternity leave, maybe 3 months paid if you’re lucky to care for an infant-and we wonder why the kids are insane right now-profits over people. Just like another comment wrote, I feel lied to. I waited too long to have kids-out of wedlock, mind you. I’m married now, but I was so brainwashed, that I thought legal marriage was pointless and stupid. I would love to have more kids, but I feel too old and tired to do it again with a newborn, and I’m already an “old” mom. I have no help in raising my children, because my selfish mother moved states away. I don’t have a village-most of us don’t in the West. I see more and more people and women waking up to how bad and wrong society has become reiterating the same points about modern feminism and gender roles. Society has brainwashed women to basically become the men we seek, but the men can never live up to our “standards,” and the cycle continues. I do hope things change one day, and I hope to instill better values and guidance in my children than I was ever afforded. Mashallah Sheikha Fatima and thank you Mrs. Peterson for bringing to light these topics. Let’s hope more and more people wake up to this madness.

I started to cry halfway through this... where you mentioned children. I often can't watch any happy ending stories. I was married once to an alcoholic and drug addict. We had one daughter, who i was lucky to get help raising, but it was a struggle. He stepped in to care for her with me, finally getting his own life together. I endured a farce "marriage" by a man who knew my family had money and wanted a place to live free. I had two children (four pregnancies, he didn't want kids) and a subsequent 3-4 years of suffering trying to raise them with him. This man was raised by a single mother. The saddest part of this is how my children suffer. I know I do. I sit here feeling comforted, listening to this with my back in pain...I had to take a day off because of it. I've gotten older and figured out that the world I want for my children isn't the one I'm living in. Thanks, Tammy and Fatima. Thank you for your words. Thank you for giving me hope.

And how in my generation im trying to bring these two opposites together: personal freedom with the understanding of importance of responsibility, connection and commitment. Thank you for this talk

[@lavienestpasunlongfleuvetr2559]

Exactly. The Right Wing has a tendancy to romanticise the past, while the Left goes too far in running away from it. The oppression that women of previous generations suffered is the reason the world is in such a mess today, with wokeism, identity politics and the hypersexualisation of society - these are all an ignorant, misguided, naive response to it. It's high time the centrists dominated, that is, people who sensible enough to recognise that a society in which gender norms are narrow and fixed doesn't serve anyone, but that neither does pretending that sex is casual and banal and risk-free.

[@SigmatusX]

In my opinion in the Christian faith husbands are commanded to be gentle and mutually submissive to their wives and are obligated to them. If this was your grandmother's experience it's not the monogamy that did it, it's a failure on the charge of the husband. He failed in his Godly duty which is really sad.. unfortunately it happens.

Christians and Muslims cannot be natural allies. Taqiyya means we can never trust you. We may ally together against the atheists, but we Christians know that once we have removed their influence, you will turn on us. Our scriptures command us to love our enemies and to treat our neighbors as ourselves, but your Quran commands you to impose the jizya on us and make us live in poverty while you take our belongings from us and persecute us. It makes me sad because the atheists are ruining the lives of both your children and ours, and we could build a culture of faith together but how can we cooperate with you knowing that sharia commands you to wage a war of subjugation against us?

(Between copulation and prayer, it's a wonder he found the time to slayy pagans). 👉Sahih Bukhari (6:300) - Muhammad's wives had to be available for the prophet's fondlingg even when they were having their menstruall period. 👉Sahih Bukhari (62:6) - "The Prophet used to go round (having seksual relations with) all his wives in one night, and he had *nine wives." (*Sources say that Muhammad had 10 to 14 wives at a time, depending on the Timeline) Muhammad also said that it was impossible to treat all wives equally - and it isn't hard to guess why. 👉Sahih Bukhari (5:268) - "The Prophet used to visit all his wives in a round, during the day and night and they were eleven in number."

Islam is the worship of the pagan, Hindu moongod 🌙 Shiva, whom the pagan arabs called "Allah" (the god). Shiva, the 🌙 moongod, was worshipped at the kaba IDOL stone by the Hindu, Muhammad, and his ancestors. Allah = Shiva = 🌙 moon god Moon 🌙 on Shiva's forehead Moon 🌙 on top of every Mosque Muhammad was a False Prophet who desired to start his own religion. However, he LACKED in knowledge and imagination, so he simply took his moongod Shiva and modelled him on the Abrahamic God YHWH (YAHWEH). elevating himself to "prophet" status. The Hajj pilgrimage that Muslims do at Kaba is no different to the amcient Hindu pilgrimage called Shivaling, whereby the hindu arabs travelled to Mekkah to bow down around the black 🪨 stone which was shaped as a PE NIS, to resemble the Pe nis of Shiva. Muhammad loved it so much that he actively Kissed this stone (IDOLATRY) , and encouraged his followers to do the same. This S E X based religion is no wonder that the false prophet was obsessed with S E X, as is evidenced in the hadeetts. Islam COPIES and blends both Hinduism AND the Abrahamic religions. The Only True Abrahamic religion Today is the Messianic/ Christian one, which includes the MESSIAH, YESHUA (Jesus), and Both the Torah and the Gospels. Islam is a FALSE religion. Judaism no longer exists since the followers of Judaism today still continue fo REJECT the Messiah, thereby rejecting YHWH, the God of Abraham. Is it any WONDER why YHWH kicked them out of Israel for so many centuries, since rejecting their own MESSIAH? Give up your false religions and seek out YHWH and His Messiah, Jesus Christ!

After in-depth research, it became clear that it is a terrorist religion identical to ISIS and Al-Qaeda, and it contains thousands of terrorist Qur’anic doctrines, such as jihad and fighting the world and peoples until they submit to Islam. The slaughter of apostates and the terrorist doctrine of loyalty and disavowal, as well as the issues of devaluing women and treating them as subordinates, while encouraging slavery and enslaving people after their conquest, and forcibly raping captive women and selling them in markets.And dozens of other reasons that show that it is a corrupt religion

In the late 1990's many middle easterners immigrated to my city. One day I was standing at an elevator. Behind me was a middle eastern man and behind him a woman in hijab. Of course, I ended up in the back of the elevator, the man in the middle and the woman in the front. When the elevator opened the woman stood to the side to let the man go first. The man then stepped aside, turned to me, gestured for me to go first, then stepped in front of the woman, existed and she behind him. I was so impressed that he took the time to to respect both cultures. I saw other situations that that made it clear that the examples I saw on TV were not typical. Are there some bad middle eastern and Muslim men? Yes, of course. But there are bad men in all countries, communities, organizations and religions. Thank you for this beautiful conversation.

@@babymonalisa Honour Killing of women in islam Tony Abbott, ex-Prime Minister of Australia said about muslims. Islam has “Honor Killing” where most frequently women can be killed by family members for violating principles of their religion. The murderers are rarely charged. “Offenses” include but are not limited to refusing an arranged marriage, being a victim of rape, renouncing Islam (apostasy), dressing in ways deemed inappropriate and homosexuality. It is happening with muslims in the West and very frequently in muslim-majority countries. The Quran encourages muslim men to marry pre-puberty girls which sometimes results in the tragedy of the young girl dying of bleeding on/after her wedding night. Pakistan PM vows to eradicate honour killings after Oscar nod Rifqa Bary but, so far, with no success. FGM Islamic rule and not local tradition FGM stands for Female Genital Mutilation. or Khitan) is the name of the Muslim ritual for doing it. Two muslim woman are convicted of it in a muslim minority country. PM Cameron of UK reports nearly 4,000 in 2014. It’s happens more often in muslim families. Men leaders of women Men are in charge of women by what Allah has given one over the other and what they spend from their wealth. So righteous women are devoutly obedient, guarding in [the husband's] absence what Allah would have them guard. But those [wives] from whom you fear arrogance-advise them; forsake them in bed; and,strike them. But if they obey you, seek no means against them. Indeed, Allah is ever Exalted and Grand. [An-Nisa:34] Clerical mouhalel in islam to marry divorced women, intercourse for mutual orgasm then legal to marry ex-husband. (2:230) And if he has divorced her [for the third time], then she is not lawful to him afterward until [after] she marries a husband other than him. And if the latter husband divorces her [or dies], there is no blame upon the woman and her former husband for returning to each other if they think that they can keep [within] the limits of Allah. These are the limits of Allah, which He makes clear to a people who know. So, when a muslim divorces his wife, say it 3 times, she will legally divorced. Even if it was not her mistake. He may have been angry of his work or something else. Still she has to pay for his error. She has to have sex with another man of his choice for at least few days. So this is like allowing another man to rape her (as her consent is not necessary) then after that that man must divorce her so she can go back to her children who are automatically given to the father (unless he refuses to take them). So she has to go though sexual molestation/rape and through emotional abuse as he has the right to forbid her from visiting their children. Muhamass marriage with aisha Narrated `Aisha: that the Prophet married her when she was six years old and he consummated his marriage when she was nine years old, and then she remained with him for nine years (i.e., till his death). Sahih Bukhari (Wedlock, Marriage (Nikaah)) Reference : Sahih al-Bukhari 5133 In-book reference : Book 67, Hadith 690 However, he started molesting her at the age of 6y by using the thighing method of sex. Meaning, he was rubbing his penis between her tiny legs until he ejaculates. In reply to muslim statement that ayesha reached her puberty, but muhamass(crij) deflowered her at 9 y. old, when he saw her pubic-hair started to show-up and NOT when she had her 1st period. In fact, in other hadith(s), ayasha was still playing with dolls till the age of 14. (yhis custom is only allowed for girls who did NOT reach their puberty. In reply to muslims statement that it was a customs in these days to marry young girls. When we asked muslims, show us proof from your books about a man, other than muhamass(crij) who married a pre-pubescent girl. They fail to show us a proof of such a custom. In reply to their statement that 'aranged marriage' is legal in Europe and many other countries. We answer that an arranged marriage is totally different from child-marriage. In an arranged marriage, usually, 2 families (in a nasty dispute or in a common goal), marry their very young boy to a very young girl with the understanding that the wedding (etc...) will happen much later when both kids are grown-up and able to marry each others. (Not to mention, that in many cases an arranged marrige may be broke with the agreement of both parties. while child-marriage cannot be cancelled except by a divorce). Such arranged marriage will reconcile the families for good or will facilitate the commercial dealing in between both families. islamic hadith talks abt muhamass(crij) practicing thighing-sex on ayesha between the ages of 6y. and 9 y. There is another hadith that tells that muhamass(crij) carried ayesha on his back to go to a show. If we assume that the muslim who insist that ayesha was 18y. old , how can a 54y old guy carry an 18y. old woman on his back and walk for a certain distance. Muhamass having sex with wife during her period ‏Narrated Um Salama: While I was laying with the Prophet under a single woolen sheet, I got the menses. I slipped away and put on the clothes for menses. He said, "Have you got "Nifas" (menses)?" I replied, "Yes." He then called me and made me lie with him under the same sheet. Sahih Bukhari (Menstrual Periods) Reference : 298 In-book reference : Hadith 5 Most women are going to juhanam:Narrated Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri: Once the Messenger went out to the Musalla of `Id-al-Adha/Al-Fitr prayer. Then he passed by the women and said, "O women! Give alms, as I have seen that the majority of the dwellers of Hell-fire were you (women)." They asked, "Why is it so, O Allah's Messenger?" He replied, "You curse frequently and are ungrateful to your husbands. I have not seen anyone more deficient in intelligence and religion than you. A cautious sensible man could be led astray by some of you." The women asked, "O Allah's Messenger What is deficient in our intelligence and religion?" He said, "Is not the evidence of two women equal to the witness of one man?" They replied in the affirmative. He said, "This is the deficiency in her intelligence. Isn't it true that a woman can neither pray nor fast during her menses?" The women replied in the affirmative. He said, "This is the deficiency in her religion." Ref. Sahih al-bukhari: 304. In-book ref. Book 6, hadith 9 Harris Sultan video abt. marrying infants-girls in islam and Andrew Tate abt. having sex with minors girls. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gmjQXn1ordClZsU Udda according to quran for pre pubuscent girls, pregnant/old women (65:4): And those who no longer expect menstruation among your women - if you doubt, then their period is three months, and [also for] those who have not menstruated.

Sura Alnur (24:33): If you force your maids into prostitution you will be forgiven Those who are unable to marry should keep chaste until God gives them sufficiently from His favor. If any of those whom your right hands held in trust seek a contract then, draw one with them if you know there is goodness within them, and share with them the wealth that God has given you. Do not compel your girls against their will to prostitution, out of your desire for the short-term gains of this world, if they want to be married. If they however are compelled, God will be forgiving and merciful to them.

I don't usually comment, but I'm happy that you had the chance to allow this Muslim woman to speak about Islam and fill in the missing gaps of knowledge that unfortunately lots of folks seem to have. The part where you mentioned that it takes faith to raise kids is truly legit. Not only does it takes faith but it takes both courage and patience as well. These are three values that significantly ensure a well-raised generation. Unfortunately, parenthood nowadays in the states would lack one, two, or probably all three of these values. This is hence the reason why you'd witness a majority (not entirely) of America's latest generation either lost or confused. Speaking about Islamic dressing, Christian women here used to cover their heads back then as well, but this tradition has decreased significantly over time. Now, the only Christians who would still have women covering their heads are the Amish Christians. You would rarely see any Orthodox or a Catholic female covering their heads nowadays(except nuns of course...). After all, Christianity, Judaism and Islam are three faiths that are placed under the title of "Abrahamic Religions". We all mostly share similar core values and morals.

It resonated deeply with me when Fatima talked about her experience marrying young and having an intimate relationship for the first time within those clear boundaries - in particular, the feeling of being safe.

I thought I was comfortable by myself. It wasn't until I had that experience that I realized that feeling safe was one of the things that meant the most to me in our marriage.

@@tsarina-vi9il true. It makes Islam looks like a clown at times for bowing down to modernity because of this. Not to mention their lack of knowledge to answer properly which i think many muslims are able to catch very quickly. It's so easy to see the difference between lies and truth among muslims.

[@elizabethshittu3275]

The problem with pearly things is that the conversations reduce men and women to commodities - high status male, high status female - as if we are trophies. Relationships are about service to one another and should be about choosing someone according to their character, not their bank account or body count.

Amazing conversation. True with the head covering in Christianity. I grew up in Hungary (a Catholic majority country), and up until my grandmother's generation it was not uncommon to women wearing head coverings. Once their husband's passed away, the colourful head coverings were changed to black, not always, but very often until the day these little old ladies have died. That's all gone out of the window now.

[@AksamZarook]

That's interesting. Thanks for sharing this history

[@reasonablyserious]

This is not the covering that was common in Europe. Forcing women to hide their face because men get aroused by seeing any part of a woman (the actual reason, look it up) is demeaning.

[@goddessIv]

@@reasonablyserious No, I am not talking about the Islamic cover, I simply talked about the fact that women in Europe also have covered their hair once they got married. As girls they didn't. But once a woman got married it was a sign that she was taken and married. It was also modesty.

[@alphauno6614]

@@reasonablyserious Why?

[@feefs2139]

​@@reasonablyserious It's not demeaning. First of all, face covering is optional for women who don't want to be seen. It's HER choice and it makes us feel protected. I'd rather go out in the world covering my body and not be picked apart or sexualized..so that I can focus on my intelligence and actually contribute to the world. My sexiness and comfortability is at home in my sanctuary with my husband and kids. You may not understand that and that's completely fine we don't need you to understand, but you need to respect it.

We, as Muslims, believe and love Mary, as we believe and love in all the prophets ,they are massengers from same God Allah, and they have same message ,I hope you do not consider this as bias, but this is a fact, that you should follow the last books and messengers, the Qur’an and Muhammad, because it is the last book and the true message of God that has not been changed or corrupted as in bible and torah ,And God commanded us to follow The prophet who is in your time, and our time is Muhammad, the last of the prophets. Who carries the same pure message of Jesus, Abraham and...all the prophets. If you want to follow Jesus, you must follow the Quran. By the way, Jesus told us of the coming of Muhammad and commanded to follow him in the bible.

[@rahatkhan919]

Thank you Tammy and Fatima for collaborating to produce such a refreshing and thought provoking dialogue. It’s really important to build bridges and come together upon that which is common between us. I believe that every Christian household should have a copy of the translation of the Quran and every Muslim household should have a copy of at least one of the versions of the Bible, whether that be KJV or the Catholic version etc. We need to become people of understanding, God willing Insha’Allah.

[@AMMAR-911]

The prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) when he saw Omar (RA) reading the Torah and he said to him (Are you in doubt, O son of al-Khattab? I have brought it (the Quran) to you as white and pure. By Allah, if my brother Musa were alive, he would not have been able to do anything but follow me.) And he forbade him from ever looking at the Scriptures of the people of the book, and that's Omar (RA) the greatest human after the prophet (ﷺ) and Abu bakr (RA), and based on that all the scholars of Islam has said that it's not allowed for the layman to read the Scriptures of the people of the book, so what you are saying oppose what the prophet (ﷺ) taught, and what the scholars of Islam has agreed upon. Be careful of what you say Cuz any Muslim who takes your advice and after that he has an issue with his Faith or God forbid he may leave the Deen Cuz of your advice, you will be questioned about it in the day of Qiama.

[@rahatkhan919]

@@AMMAR-911 Salaam! - You are generally correct and May Allah forgive me for any unintentional erring on my part. In very early Islam Omar RA was forbidden to read a section of the Torah as Quran was being revealed in order to avoid confusion and mixing in his understanding. However, when Islam was more established Prophet Mohammed SAW ordered Zaid ibn Thabit RA to learn Hebrew, (which he learnt in 13 days!) to see if what was being quoted by the Jews of the time was correct or not (with respect to the sanctioning of the adulterer and adulteress). Scholars now have a difference of opinion on this matter, in that it is considered permissible by some to read the scriptures of other religions in order to reply to the doubts that people have about Islam. I myself live and grew up in a majority Christian country and am surrounded by Christians, I personally would consider myself ignorant if I didn’t have some understanding of their faith. For example when a Christian asks me about my hijab, I inform them of the gentle and eloquent instruction of modesty in the Quran with regards to wearing a khimaar, but it’s useful to also be able to point out that the instruction to cover the hair is more harshly stated in the Bible 1 Corinthians 11:6 where women are told to shave their hair off if they don’t cover!, people tend to take more notice when you demonstrate that you are well versed and are a person of some understanding. Finally, All actions are judged by intention, I hope I have clarified my intention and Allah knows best.

That is odd considering who the Peterson family is and the fact that they clearly lean conservative. I would assume most muslims would lean to the right, due to their conservative values. Whereas Christians are inherently liberal, which is now obviously right leaning, due to the strict fascism required by the authoritarian left.

@@sarahalderman3126 JP and his daughter have been vocal about their aversion to Islamic laws relating to gender which includes dress codes, divorce and so on.
