IN ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF HOW THE SAME RELIGIOUS DOCTRINE CAN
HAVE SEVERAL DIFFERENT INTERPRETATIONS, WE HAVE A
MUSLIM PORN ACTRESS WHO BELIEVES SHE IS A MUSLIM AND SAYS
SHE IS A PRACTICING MUSLIM.
HER NAME IS NADIA ALI SHE IS DEFINITELY A COURAGEOUS WOMAN.
SHE IS ORIGINALLY FROM PAKISTAN, AND WOULD NOT GO BACK, AND
I DO NOT ADVISE HER TO.
SHE IS TRYING TO CHANGE THE MUSLIM RELIGION BY DOING PORN.
HERE IS WHAT SHE HAS TO SAY -
WE'RE GOING TO SHOW YOU THE PORN SHE WAS IN.
JUST KIDDING.
SHE IS IN A HIJAB.
SHE GETS SPANKED BY A SWITCH.
IT IS A ROUGH PORN.
IT IS ROUGH.
IT WAS JARRING TO SEE A WOMAN IN A HIJAB HAVING SEX,
ESPECIALLY ROUGHLY.
I DID NOT KNOW HOW I FELT ABOUT THAT.
I WAS VERY INTERESTED, VERY INTERESTED, THEN ALL OF A
SUDDEN I LOST INTEREST.
IN ALL SERIOUSNESS, IT WAS LIKE HER HUSBAND BEING ROUGH
WITH HER.
SHE TOOK THE KEYS TO HIS CAR ñ
AND DID NOT LISTEN TO HER.
IT IS A TO BE LITTLE PORN.
QUESTION WE TALK ABOUT WHAT THE POINT IS?
INSTEAD OF TALKING ABOUT WHAT YOU DON'T AND DO LIKE IN PORN?
THE NAME OF THE PORN IS WOMEN IN THE MIDDLE EAST.
HERE IS THE DESCRIPTION:
WE'RE HAVING FUN UNTIL THEY BROUGHT BIN LADEN INTO THIS.
I THINK SHE JUST LIKES DOING PORN, AND THERE IS
NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT.
BUT SHE ALSO WANTS TO ñ I FEEL LIKE SHE IS TRYING TO GIVE THE
FINGER TO FUNDAMENTALISTS THAT HAVE TOLD HER TO KNOW HER ROLE.
SHE DOES NOT THINK OF HER WORK AS ANTI-HIJAB PORN, BUT IN A
CULTURE WHERE IT IS CONCEIVABLE FOR A CLERIC TO BAN WOMEN FROM
TOUCHING BANANAS AND CUCUMBERS DUE TO THEIR PHALLIC
RESEMBLANCE, SHE HOPES TO
INSPIRE CHANGE.
I THINK THAT IS A TURKISH RULE.
YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL, THESE CUCUMBERS AND SLIPPED INTO
PLACES YOU CANNOT IMAGINE.
THEY ARE MENTAL.
HERE IS WHAT SHE SAYS, "I'VE BEEN TOLD, YOU ARE NOT A MUSLIM,
YOU ARE A DISGRACE TO PAKISTAN, PAKISTAN WON'T ACCEPT YOU.
BUT I DO COME FROM A MIDDLE EASTERN BACKGROUND AND I AM A
MUSLIM, NOT THE WAY MY PARENTS
ARE, BUT BY PRACTICE.
I PRAY TO TIMES A DAY, BUT I'M STILL A PRACTICING MUSLIM."
THEN SHE SAYS, GROWING UP SHE WOULD HEAR RUMORS LIKE, THAT
GIRL IS A SLUT, DON'T LET THE
HIJAB FOOL YOU.
ALL THOSE WOMEN IN A HIJAB, THEY ALSO HAVE SEX.
NOBODY EVER TALKS ABOUT IT, BECAUSE YOU ARE SO WORRIED ABOUT
THEIR RIGHTS, AND ALL THE THINGS
THAT ARE PROBLEMATIC, AND YOU DON'T THINK LIKE, HEY AT SOME
POINT A LOT OF THEM ARE MARRIED, AND THEN THEY GO HOME AND
THEY GET IT ON.
ARE THEY ALLOWED TO BE INTO SOMETHING?
I'M SURE THE HUSBAND IS INTO SOMETHING, DOES HE PLAY IT
OUT WITH HIS WIFE?
I DON'T CARE WHAT YOUR RELIGION IS.
YOU COULD BE THE MOST FUNDAMENTALIST MUSLIM,
CHRISTIAN, WHATEVER IT IS, AND PREACH ABOUT HOW SELF-RIGHTEOUS
AND AWESOME YOU ARE, BUT THE REALITY IS WE ARE ALL FREAKS.
WE ALL LOVE SEX, IT FEELS GOOD.
THERE IS THE CONNECTEDNESS, SOMETHING INTIMATE ABOUT DEALING
WITH THE ONE YOU LOVE, BUT ALSO
SOMETHING WRONG AND AWESOME, AND ANIMALISTIC ABOUT IT IN A
NON-LOVING RELATIONSHIP AS WELL.
THE JUDGMENT IS WHAT DRIVES ME CRAZY.
DO I THINK HER DOING PORN IS GOING TO CHANGE THE CULTURE?
PROBABLY NOT, THEY HAVE REJECTED HER, BUT I LIKE THAT SHE IS
SPEAKING OUT AGAINST THE CULTURE.
I LIKE WHAT YOU ARE SAYING ON BOTH FRONTS AND I AGREE.
I THINK SHE FEELS EMPOWERED, SHE IS IN AMERICA, SHE CAN DO
WHATEVER SHE WANTS.
SECONDLY, I SUPPORT HER COMPLETELY ON HAVING A
DIFFERENT INTERPRETATION OF HER RELIGION.
PEOPLE THINK, NO, ONLY ONE INTERPRETATION IS ALLOWED.
THAT'S LIKE, YOUR OPINION THAN.
FOR EXAMPLE, AMONG CHRISTIANS THERE ARE THE NUNS TO FIGHT
AGAINST THE DEATH PENALTY AND MAKE IT THEIR LIFE'S CAUSE, AND
THEN THERE ARE A TON OF EVANGELICAL CHRISTIANS WHO
SAY, KILL HIM, KILL HIM ADMIRED THERE ARE A WIDE VARIETY OF
OPINIONS IN CHRISTIANITY.
I KNOW THAT BECAUSE THIS IS NOT A MUSLIM COUNTRY THAT IT
SHOCKS SOME PEOPLE, BUT THERE IS A WIDE VARIETY OF OPINIONS
ON HOW YOU INTERPRET ISLAM.
THE STEREOTYPE HERE IS, THEY ALL ISIS, THEY ALL WANT TO CUT
PEOPLE'S HEADS OFF.
NO, THERE ARE A TON OF PEOPLE WHO THINK JUST LIKE CHRISTIANS.
IT LITERALLY SAYS, YOU SHOULD NOT SLEEP WITH A MAN, BUT
IN ANOTHER PART IT SAYS YOU SHOULD LOVE PEOPLE THE
SAME, TREAT PEOPLE THE SAME, SO I'M GOING TO INTERPRET THE
NICE PART INSTEAD OF THE MAIN PARTS.
IN ISLAM THERE IS BEING GREAT TO THE POOR, AND BEING EQUAL, AND
I'M GOING TO GO FOR THAT INTERPRETATION INSTEAD OF
THE UGLY INTERPRETATION.
IT SEEMS FOREIGN TO US, AND SO MUCH OF OUR INTERPRETATION
OF ISLAM IS ROOTED IN NEWS OF AL QAEDA, AND ISIS, AND THE
WARS IN THE MIDDLE EAST, PEOPLE CANNOT WRAP THEIR MINDS
AROUND, YES THERE ARE DIFFERENT INTERPRETATIONS.
WE ARE ATHEISTS, AND WE DON'T AGREE WITH ANY OF THOSE
INTERPRETATIONS, AND WE THINK IT IS SILLY AND HYPOCRITICAL
THAT YOU COULD DO EITHER INTERPRETATION REASONABLY,
BUT YOU CAN, AND PEOPLE DO.
SO FOR THE PEOPLE WHO DON'T AGREE WITH HER, SAD DAY
THAT YOU DON'T AGREE WITH HER THAT SHE IS MUSLIM.
AS LONG AS SHE THINKS SHE IS MUSLIM, SHE BELIEVES IN GOD AND
BELIEVE IN REACHING THAT GOD THROUGH ISLAM, IT DOES NOT MAKE
YOU ANY LESS MUSLIM IF YOU HAVE
SEX.
OTHERWISE, 1.6 MILLION PEOPLE ARE IRONICALLY SCREWED.
