I’d love to see you interview the younger generation like teenagers and college students from the same community!

"Nobody cares who you or what you are as long as you are a decent human being" 4:35 That is the attitude we all need to live by !!
Im a Catholic. Growing up my grandmother & my mom always wore head coverings before entering the church or at prayers even at prayers at home. We as Christians we say “peace be with u” & the listener(s) reply “also be with u” “Salaam aleikum, aleikum salaam”
I think it's very important to not confuse the practices of a culture with what Islam teaches. Islam teaches respect of women. Most people who make assumptions about Islam have never even read the Quran. There are English translations of Quran. Many Islamic countries following Is…
I was so impressed with Rola's commentary. How interesting to hear such a bright, articulate woman talking about her life as a Muslim woman. A pattern is emerging with all of Peter's interviews: we all have so much in common. I hope this series helps dispel the fear and negativit…
Peter you are so respectful for asking first, "hand on heart."
07:30 I see what you’re saying but actually, in Islam the mother is always the most important element of the family, not just in Ramadan 😀
Also Arabs are minority among Muslims e.g India has one of the biggest Muslim population in the world, close to 200 million. For a thousand years before 19th century, majority of Muslim rulers were non Arabs and mostly of Turkic / central Asian origin. It’s a global religion …
Welcome to Michigan!!!! I am so glad you chose to come here and feature the Muslim culture. I feel Muslims and Islam gets a horribly bad rap because of the media and crimes that are committed in the name of Islam. Muslims are very peaceful people. I have always lived within a hal…
Love your videos so much! Your series on Muslim women in America has been so eye opening. Thanks for all the great content!
A little comment on your closing remarks. You didn't give us an angle "into islam", but into the muslim community. This often gets confused and can become quite problematic (maybe not in this case).
That sums it up for me "Nobody cares what you are or who you are as long as your a decent human being" Its really NOT hard to just BE NICE to one another. JUST BE NICE
So proud of this woman. Even in my country, indonesia, a muslim majority country, there are many people who dont pray five times a day. And this woman lives in non-muslim majority country and still pray 5 times a day. What a person
Every religion has its own limits and values . But the people , followoing that religion are practising according to their wish and will . Means some of them respect the values 100%some 90%some45% . So we cant say anything about any religion just by meeting the people . We have t…
Hey, my home town! I frequent the bakery/ restaurant where you began the video. I am an heating and cooling service technician and have ran service calls in and around Greater Detroit/ suburbs etc for the last 27 years. I have had the unique opportunity to get up close and pers…
We love that you show many of the nuances of a religion & a culture. Years ago when I was in college I had the opportunity to become friends with some wonderful people from the middle east. I knew that the news only showed one side. Thirty years later I have current friends who …
I moved to Dearborn Heights 11 years ago from Oakland County, Michigan and she is spot on about this area being a good example of why immigration is good for America. I saw very quickly that we would not have to worry about empty storefronts and vacant houses like other areas who…
Hijab is religious not cultural .
I think it says more about a person if they judge someone for their attire than anything. I respect this sister and was just thinking how she was so respectful of others and their choice and speaking up for the Muslims, until the niqab comment. This was so sad to hear. For me…
This channel should be shown in schools. To help dispel some of the preconceived impressions we have of different cultures. Even for the teachers.
I am Moslem from Indonesia. Likely her, I don't cover unless while I am doing prayer. I practice Islam the best I can, and see other people as human no matter what their religion.
Another great video, Peter! Rola seems like a lovely lady and I so appreciated her views on being Muslim in America. This series could do so much to unite Muslims and Christians if they would just choose to watch with an open heart. I'm sharing these videos with my 71 year old…
What a wonderful woman. God bless her for opening up for us and providing insight into the muslim community. I listen to this as I sip on Kuwaiti tea, btw!
I love your video series and this one is very dear. I have two close friends whom are muslim and I have learned quite a bit of their religion from them and learning from them than the media really opens your eyes...they are such great people. They are not repressed themselves, th…
i found it so disrespectful how they were talking about the woman in niqab that walked by. if you believe in freedom, you should defend every person's right to wear what they want as long as it's not harming anyone. i don't wear the niqab but i wouldn't EVER discriminate against …
Beautiful clarity, many have such misunderstandings on other cultures...
It is so refreshing to watch these videos. Thank you Peter. You are doing a good public service for everyone.
first and foremost one thing i have noticed is that the middle eastern people are less practicing MUSLIMS as compared to other parts of the world.being born as an arab doesn't guarantee that you would be a pious muslim in fact it is quite contrary. Nowadays people including musl…
I am Muslim from Iran living in Canada, on surface you can not tell I am Muslim, but I am Muslim and follow Islamic law as much as can. I pray five times a day and I think, Islam is a very beautiful religion.
I'm eyeing that tabooleh and drooling. It looked so good. One of my favorites. Thank you Rola and Donald for your candor. ❤️
Well I’ll tell you … here in Canada I am afraid to wear a headscarf because people are getting harassed/ beaten and a family even got ran over by a car for looking outwardly “Muslim” I have worn it before and have gotten harassed by a Canada post driver for being dumb due to the…
20:42 I wanted to highlight her statement. Maybe in SOME Arab countries, wearing Niqab is more cultural, but there are so many women who wear niqab for the sole purposes of getting closer to God and do it solely striving for His pleasure. There are so many black muslims, Banglade…
Being born American, I have learned more about Freedom, and Land of Opportunities by immigrants who have settled here than from my own culture. Thank you, for making your videos.
That shisha bar looks great! Takes me back to when i worked in Damascus for a month, in the mid-nineties. I'm just sad i was really ill the whole time I was there, but I got to do a little sightseeing when I was able. I really enjoyed the shisha bar I went to. Traditional old pla…
She said she feels excluded from going into the mosque without a head scarf but her being a Muslim she knows you can’t pray or go into a mosque without being covered which didn’t make sense to me
She and her husband are lovely people.😊
So pretty much this was a video about a regular woman living in America, that has her own business
Just for clarification: Hijab is not a choice according to the Quran.
