what a freakin jerk.
There is no peace in his ways. And it's not like the girl in the second one was giving him an attitude or anything. she mentioned she felt much better with the hijab, that she just wasn't strong enough, etc. She trusted him... he humiliated her. Idiot.

Yeah dude, that girl said some very good things, and nothing inappropriate at all.

That man is a bloody fool.

Wow. Everyone on Islamica agrees. Now we just have to achieve world peace.

Everyone's right. I thought it was crazy how he put both of them on the spot interrogation style. It's not like he really wanted to have a good discussion about hijab with the sisters and see their point of view, it's more like he just wanted to "win." I wonder if he really thought that he'd inspire them to throw a hijab on right after the interview. I hope he didn't push them away from the deen.

The jewish kid at the end of one of the videos is hilarious.

EDIT: Can one of the mods delete the second "giving" in the title? I just noticed it.

If this concern was well thought of, noone would be on any social networking sites ( facebook/myspace etc ), or forums.

What? You don't wear Hijab? Does that mean you think that hijab is evil! how can you possibly not wear hijab? You give Muslim women a bad name. (to be honest, I could only watch the first minute or so of each clip, it was that painful)

Dude, it really was painful to watch.

uh....way to generalize...

generalizing about tablighis is like generalizing about muslims worldwide

the majority of the tablighis ive met HAVE been WAY better than that. maybe all your experiences have sucked but there's still like no comparison to be made.

I hate to pull the Soapbox of Righteous Indignation out from under you while you're on a roll, but the part about Tablighis was mostly tongue in cheek.

I agree w/ Jaysh. Dude needs a beatdown from one of her male relatives.

I haven't watched the videos, but in my experience with 'Nojabis', the best way is to lead by example. Especially when you're all gathered together as friends, or halaqas, or whatever, invite them over. It makes a huge change and gives them an insight into the world of Hijabis/Niqaabis. And talk to them when they ask questions, forcing anything down anyones throat isn't the best way. Wa Allahu Aa'lam.

[jinnzaman]

The best way to give naseehah to a nojabi is stapling a hijab to their head. i mean, even if they dont' want to wear hijab, they kinda still have to.

[Timbit]

Hmmm. I don't think he humiliated her and all things considered, she handled that well.
If anything, I think it was funny (not humorous funny) how he was trying to lead her, but she wasn't having any of it. Especially the end where he's all "Can you summarize this whole interview please?"

Wow, there're all kinds...

So what do you think about this guy's approach?

YouTube - Missing Hijab 2 & The Jew (revised)

YouTube - Eid Adha & the Missing Hijab

Lol, they were kinda funny.

Well the first one was - the girl seemed really clueless.

The second one was cringeworthy. I fond myself covering my face with my hands and I was watching through my fingers. A little bit mean I thought. The girl seemed really sweet and she was clearly conflicted and jumping all over the place. He should have left her alone after a while.

But y'know, car-crash telly is all the rage these days.

[displaced]

obnoxious.

if you want to ask someone a freakin' question, you should have the respect and consideration to not roll your eyes while they are answering. and that jewelry analogy is tired..so tired. I don't think being rude to a non-hijabi is "dawah." I would not have been as polite to him as she was.

furthermore, it was stupid of him to be asking why she spoke nervously. could it possibly be because she was expecting to be attacked? shocker of shockers..she was!

you don't have to wear hijab to be a good person. wearing hijab does not automatically make you a good person.

Ya, dumb...
