First of all: “The media” is not an entity. It goes without saying that fundamentalists do give arsenal to the likes of those epitomised by 'Clit Eastward' maven of Hollywood( the tentpole, feature-film maestro) - of course it's ludicrously, maliciously, and viciously exaggeration. Doesn't that away from the fact that wild Philosophical distinction is there.

As a white 16 year old, it is really interesting to see the flip-side of the coin. I am never one for investigating politics, but it is really eye opening to see what people of the Muslim faith have to go through on a day to day basis. Riz has always been an inspiration to me since I saw him in Nightcrawler, and I do believe that what he is doing is truly using his platform and his voice for good. It is only when we talk about subjects that we can change them, so here's to a better future. 🧡

Seeing Lady Parts in the thumbnail next to "bad muslim representation" I knew something was fishy. So glad I clicked and watched though. Lady Parts was a really important aspect of my journey in conveting to islam simply by showing realistic portrayls of myslim women, and how as muslims we dont have to be perfect. I'm really happy to see that kind of messaging being uplifted here.

Other sexes are there, and if you're born a homosexual etc, theres nothing wrong with it. The problem is in practicing homosexuality and endorsing it as it is a worldwide phenomena. It's not, the scale is infinitesimal. Homosexuals have their rights, theres nothing wrong in being one. It's a medical condition according to DSM and is treatable in 75% cases like kleptomania, paedophilia, zoophilia, nmk syndrome

I really respect Rizwan because he is a proud Muslim even when he is working in big movies in Hollywood. He didnt abandoned his religion for his career. which is hard specially when your career is in Hollywood. He walked the hard road for holding his faith and doing what he love. Many Muslim actors or comedian who are now household name in Hollywood have become atheists to fit in. Perhaps thats why many Muslim people dont want to pursue this career to not lose their faith. But Rizwan showed that it is possible to keep both.

@@HassaanQ Sadly a lot of minority actors have no choice but to go with the flow otherwise they won't get any work. You could argue what he is doing is not changing the stereotype but the alternative to that he never works. and Kumail has bills to pay just like everyone else. The problem is not Kumail doing these stereotypical roles is that these are the only kinds of roles available to him which illustrates the structioneral problems in hollywood which Riz Ahmed is talking about. and the solution to that is to encourage more muslim writers, and directors and for muslims to empower themselves to create their own projects just like Kumail did when he made The Big Sick. Yes he is telling his own life story and he is basically playing himself in the movie but at least he is not playing another characture or stereotype. He is playing a character with actually depth. and he is the lead star. His stand up routine is based on his experiences as a Pakistani muslim. Comedians often draw on their experiences and background in order to entertain.
he could have changed him self in RIOT but he controlled his anger
I really want to see this film. Just that scene with Rizwan's character and his family talking is so relatable. It's just spot on. Rizwan Ahmed is a brilliant actor and he is right about the awful Muslim representation on screen. There is only two times iv seen positive Muslim representation on screen. One was The 13th Warrior back in the 90s and the other is a recent horror mini series called Midnight Mass.

Very true.. Glad someone mentioned. 💕💕💕🇵🇰
2:50 this guy's the villain of the movie, right? I mean he just killed a kid. He can't actually be the hero

If 1 kid could kill 10 men is it worth sparing the child only so the rest can die? Obviously this is a movie but this can too and maybe has happened in real life. It's just how much value you put on the lives of others...

As an atheist I'd like to add to this. It's not just fictional depictions of Muslims but real life as well. During the 2000s we were inundated with fears about suicide bombings in the media, and as a teenager, hearing the fear get hyped up while seeing angry aggressive Muslim groups at home and abroad baying for blood was an unnerving thing to witness. What made it worse was that the Muslims brought forward on TV were usually either terrorist supporters, or inept community leaders who often came across as pompous, self-righteous, who sometimes subtly seemed to support Islamist terrorism and always were blaming everyone else for everything. This left me a very negative impression of Muslims, made worse when a distant cousin of mine was murdered by ISIS. As an adult however, I did a community woodland project at work with a group of Muslim boys and the local imam. They were some of the nicest kids I'd ever encountered. And with the Imam - a very jovial and warm-hearted chatterbox - came the local Muslim women who cooked some spicy rice and onions for us, and it occurred to me that this was probably common practice in Muslim communities like India, Pakistan, Afghanistan etc, that perhaps it was common for such places for the locals to greet guests like this. (I could be wrong about this idk, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was true.) Another change of pace was when I began a casual intimate relationship with a Muslim girl (still ongoing), a very beautiful and talkative girl, very independent regarding her sexuality (like the girl in ladyparts here but without the face veils) but also very kind and understanding and willing to listen to me when I talked about being bullied at work. It struck me how blatant the contrast was between the warm-hearted, generous and friendly people I'd encountered, and the yahoos and weirdos wheeled out onto the media.

There's that one dot that's triggering
I am a Muslim. I live for 23 years, surrounded by various religions and cultures in my neighborhood. Majority are Islam and others like Christianity, Buddhism, and Hinduism. My neighborhood is quite harmony and peaceful. Even though most western medias , for centuries interpret Islam like is a bad thing but to us that's actually know Islam and live within the community, we know it's not true as so as the non Muslim are actually acknowledge what Islam really is. Islam is a peaceful religion. You can ask my neighbor, you can even ask my college friends from diploma and degree, even high school. They will give the same answer and not the bullshit western media tells about us. I AM A MUSLIM, AND ISLAM IS MY RELIGION

It's a pity they didn't release the dir cut of merikan sniper.............where he got popped by his friend at a gun range.
I hope Muslim will get a better representation in Western media after this. MCU's Ms. Marvel will have the protagonist to wear hijab, and I think it is really refreshing and wonder how MCU & Kevin Feige will move forward with such character.
That sniper movie supposedly depicting his life story was full of lies since he was serial pathological liar who was sued in court and lost for lying.
Its disgusting how they try to misrepresent Islam. Its disrespectful, racist and such a shame. People need to raise awareness.
GOD Bless You Riz Ahmed 💯🎯💜🌱🕊️
Love this channel
Wow, Riz always leaves me astonished! Such a clever dude. Loved The Long Goodbye. Fuck American Sniper man, you’re right, there’s no ceiling on the amount of time you can spend pointing out how prejudiced and racist that is, the less time spent on it the better.
Riz Ahmed is the Coolest Muslim Actor in the World. I want him to win the Oscars someday.
More power to you. Be safe.
