“At 15, I Was Forced to Marry a Man Twice My Age”

We were a poor family. There were so many of us, and we grew up very poor. We'd never been on holiday. We couldn't even go to the next town because that's how poor we were.

Then, only a couple of weeks later, my father got tickets for everybody and said we were going to Bangladesh.

I thought, "Oh, okay." We couldn't afford to do anything like this.

But I think all my extended family paid for the tickets because the honour affected them. The shame affected them too, and they needed to regain their honour.

They thought by taking me to Bangladesh, they could get me married off.

Interviewer: Who was the guy you were set to marry?

We lived in the city, and my father would keep going away to the village and coming back. He was going to all these places to find someone who would suit me.

The first time I remember seeing this person, my mum tapped on the window and said:
"That's the guy that you're going to be getting married to

Interviewer: How did it make you feel?

Numb. Angry. Everything at the same time. It's like if you can be numb and angry and outraged all at once.

Interviewer: Did you have a chance to speak to your future husband before the wedding?

No, not really. I think my parents were too afraid for me to say anything afraid of me saying something and probably tarnishing it, which I probably would have.

The wedding was massive, like you see in the Bollywood movies. Hundreds and hundreds of people.

I remember being in my room, drenched in gold, wearing a sari and everything. I didn't want to come out, knowing there was another man there that I didn't even know.

His whole family was celebrating, laughing, joking. You could smell all the amazing food.
And I'm just sat there thinking:

"Wow, I'm just this little china doll that's been all pampered up and is going to get married to this stranger."

I knew there was a horror story coming. It felt like the music in a horror film getting more intense.

A lot of people would ask:

"Why didn't you say something? Why didn't you go to the police? Why didn't you scream out?"

You cannot do that over there. You wouldn't know where to go

And you wouldn't even know what to say because it's normal out there.

I remember asking one of my uncles:
"What happens to girls when they say no, and they shout, and they scream?"

He told me:
"You'd get taken to the village and locked up in this little cellar."
So I kept thinking to myself:

"Right, Reebs, just play it out the way that they want to. When you get home, you can do what you want."

That's all I had to repeat to myself.
For a 15-year-old to be thinking that way, you've got to imagine how much I was drowning.

Interviewer: How did your parents feel seeing you that upset at your own wedding?
My mother never wanted it to happen. Never.

But she's a woman. She's silenced. She's not allowed to speak in that country.

And it was heartbreaking for my mum because I could see her. I could see her breaking.

“Muslim Panel Gets Shut Down After Ex-Muslim Exposes the “Ugly Truth” About Islam”

Ex-Muslim : Sit for one second. I'm going to say this, and I promise you, I'm going to be done.

Muslims don't have a faith. Let me explain to you.

If you are any intelligent person that understands history and understands religious studies, you will see how many holes are in the narrative.

When you take the text and look at it, you will see that there's no way this can be from God.

You can't be a prophet and marry a six-year-old. If you are the prophet for all times, then your actions should apply for all times.
Ex-Muslim: Let me tell you something. For people of color, Black people, Islam is not for us. no.

According to them, Black people cannot go to heaven.

One of Muhammad's slaves the slaves he loved to trade were Black people.

Ex-Muslim: Most Muslims don't even know their faith.

I grew up in it. I grew up around it. Some of my good friends were Muslims.

They are so strongly indoctrinated that it is not about what the book says.

Right now, I've been posting this because of some things that I've seen coming.

You don't understand what is happening right before you.

You cannot fight an ideology with prayer. You fight it with an ideology.

Ex-Muslim: If you see a Muslim telling you there is radical Islam, it's a lie.

It's not radical Islam. Islam is just radical.

“Martha MacCallum Challenges Socialist Leader After He Says Capitalism Is Why Immigrants Come to America”

Martha MacCallum: Your family came to America from Peru. Why did they come?

Gustavo Gordillo: The economic situation in Peru was terrible, and much of that was caused by capitalism and American imperialism.

Martha MacCallum: So people come to America because they don't like American imperialism?

Gustavo Gordillo: In many Latin American countries, coups and instability have pushed people out.

Martha MacCallum: You'd think they would want to go somewhere that wasn't imposing that on them.

She then challenged Gordillo over his views on the U.S. political system and capitalism.

Martha MacCallum: The Senate gives smaller states equal representation by design. That's part of how the system works.

Gustavo Gordillo: The Senate is an undemocratic institution. Most Americans are unhappy with the political system because it's not working for them.

Martha MacCallum: And what about landlords? You argue that a 12% return on investment is too much. How much should they make?

Gustavo Gordillo: No one has a constitutional right to a double-digit return on their investment.

Martha MacCallum: But they're running a business.

The idea that no one should be allowed to make a double-digit profit goes against the idea that you can build something and succeed.

“Elon Musk says we should move on from race and slavery - Don Lemon says it’s not that simple”

Elon Musk: I think we want to look to the future rather than the past. If you study history broadly, everyone was a slave. Everyone.

We are all descended from slaves. It’s just a question of when. Was it more recent or less recent?

What future do we want? Do we want to make this part of our constant dialogue forever, or do we want to move on and treat everyone according to who they are as an individual?

Don Lemon: I agree with you, that's the ideal. But the evidence shows that's not what's actually in practice.

There's an ease that you have in society that many people of color don't. There is a legacy of slavery and racism that still continues on in this country.

Elon Musk: What advantage does the color of my skin give me?

If we keep talking about it non-stop, it will never go away. If we keep making that the central thing, it will never go away.

I think we want to get away from making everything a race or gender issue and just treat people like individuals.

Don Lemon: If people say and believe that they are treated a certain way in this country, why don't you believe them?

I've had incredible opportunities as a person of color, but I've also been discriminated against, and I know that that's real.

For someone to say that isn't happening and I should just move forward and ignore the past is insulting.

Elon Musk: Don, you keep putting words in my mouth.

I'm saying that we as a country should move beyond questions of race and gender.

We should treat people like individuals and base our opinions on their character and their skills.

Don Lemon: I don't think anyone would disagree with that.

“Bill Maher exposes the chilling stat about British Muslims that leftist activists are completely ignoring.”

Bill Maher: Ayaan Hirsi Ali wrote an op-ed in the New York Times and said when it comes to the pay gap, abortion access, and workplace discrimination, progressives have much to say.

But we're still waiting for a march against honor killings, child marriages, polygamy, sex slavery, or female genital mutilation. She was calling out the four Democratic women senators who would not even bring her issue to the floor.

Maajid Nawaz: This is a real problem. We have surveys that look at British Muslim attitudes to homosexuality.

One in The Guardian reported that 0% of British Muslims said homosexuality is morally acceptable. A later ICM poll said 52% of British Muslims said that they would ban homosexuality.

Yet at the same time, you've got leftist activists who are very concerned about gay rights within white communities. There are gay Muslims who need our help, feminist Muslims, liberal Muslims, ex-Muslims.

Bill Maher: I'm always so confused about this.

These are liberal principles. In Chechnya, a spokesman for their leader said, “If such people existed in Chechnya” meaning gay people “law enforcement would not have to worry about them as their own relatives would have sent them to where they could never return.”

Maajid Nawaz: The link between these attitudes and ISIS throwing gays off the top of buildings must be recognized. If you have these attitudes towards gays, women, or ex-Muslims and you see what ISIS is doing to them, that's the link we need to be making.

Bill Maher: Most Muslims are not ISIS, of course. But size matters. How big is the number of those who are jihadists people who are actually violent versus islamists, versus conservatives?

Maajid Nawaz: After three jihadist attacks in the UK, the security services said we only have the capacity to monitor 3,000 suspected jihadists at any one time.

Then they said, however, we really need to be monitoring 23,000, because that's how many there are out there in the United Kingdom. 23,000 jihadists ready to attack.

Around those 23,000, imagine how many more are ideological bedfellows.

“Mehdi Hasan TORCHES Bill Maher for Calling Himself a Free Speech Liberal While Dining With Trump”

Mehdi Hasan: So, Bill Maher claims to be a liberal I laugh out loud when he says that. He recently had dinner with Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago. Let's hear how that went.

Bill Maher: I told him parts of his plan for Gaza were wacky, but I supported the idea that Gaza could be Dubai instead of hell.

I told him he was wrong when he tweeted that I was critical of all things Trump not true, check the tapes. Moving Israel's embassy to Jerusalem? Loved it.

The border did need to be controlled. I'm glad the cops are getting their morale back.

Mehdi Hasan: Bill Maher has been the face of the “free speech, free speech, free speech” brigade for years.

Gianmarco Soresi: Of course.

Mehdi Hasan: And only because it hurt his bottom line.

Gianmarco Soresi: Hurt his bottom line.

Mehdi Hasan: He's always been strongly pro-Israel. He's one of those guys who's liberal except on Israel.

But he's been obsessed with the woke left and free speech, and here he is having dinner with the most anti-free-speech politician in modern American history.

Caller : My husband put us in $4.5M Debt

Caller: I’m a stay-at-home mom of two young kids, and my husband is a business owner.

I’ve been living with my head in the sand for the last couple of years while he managed the money.

I recently discovered how poorly he’s been doing, and we are in a world of debt right now.

Dave Ramsey: What caused you to suddenly become aware?

Caller: He called me one day and said, “I’m going to tell you before you get home to see the mail today, but we got a foreclosure notice on our house.”

It was due to a second mortgage he took out on our house in order to purchase a warehouse for his business.

I naively thought, okay, I’m going to fix this. I’m going to cash out one of my 401(k)s, pay that off, get the house out of foreclosure, and then we’re going to move forward and do everything right from here on out.

But as I started to dig deeper, I realized the trouble that the business was in. He has a huge overhead and is not making enough to sustain that.

Dave Ramsey: What is he now saying?

Caller: He feels like he just needs to keep pushing forward with the business, and things are going to turn around any day, any week, and he’s going to be able to fix all of this.

Meanwhile, things are not getting better. Things seem to be getting worse.

Twice this month, he’s not been able to make payroll for the employees. I found out about some IRS debts and property tax that's delinquent.

Dave Ramsey: Why are you having to continue to pull the thread on the sweater?

Co-interviewer: What’s the total debt?

Caller: Including mortgages? About $4.5 million.

We owe about $880,000 on our house, about $3.3 million on the warehouse, plus $120,000 in credit card debt, a $115,000 personal loan from my parents, about $100,000 in property tax, and $140,000 in cars.

Dave Ramsey: Are the cars on the market for sale?

Caller: No.

Dave Ramsey: They need to be today.

The thing about business is this: you do have to be an optimist to operate a business. But there’s a difference between being an optimist and refusing to face reality.

Mehdi Hasan & Bassem Youssef TEAR Into Bill Maher Over His Obsession With Israel

Mehdi Hasan: Before we finish, I've got to throw one last name in here: Bill Maher.

Bill Maher recently said, "Israel's never started a war, it's always attacked first," and called claims of colonization and genocide antisemitism.

He said, if he has to be on one side of MAGA Trump or Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, and Nick Fuentes he'll be with Trump.

Bassem Youssef: He's adopting your same side.

Mehdi Hasan: The thing that pisses me off is Bill Maher saying Joe Kent said, "The Jews made us do it." He didn't say that. He referred to Israel.

It's actually antisemitic to conflate Jews with Israel, which is what Bill Maher's doing.

It's always about Israel, and then they say it's about antisemitism.

Bassem Youssef: What is really pissing me off is, why are we still speaking about Bill Maher in any other capacity other than that he is a 100% pro-Israel asset?

Mehdi Hasan: I think you're actually doing him a favour with that argument. I don't think he needs to be paid.

He's an ideologue. He's believed this stuff all his life. I think he's a hardcore Zionist in his heart.

Bassem Youssef: Bill Maher has a famous documentary called Religulous. He went and made fun of all religions.

He went to the Muslims and made fun of them. Then he went to the Christians and made fun of them.

And when he went to the Jews, who did he make fun of? Neturei Karta the anti-Israeli Jewish group.

Mehdi Hasan: For him, Israel is everything.
He's a noted atheist, but he's fine with the Jewish state run by theocrats.

Bassem Youssef: He's an atheist who's like, "Well, it was given to them by God!"
What is wrong with you?

Mehdi Hasan: My biggest objection to Bill Maher is not his Zionism, it's not his Islamophobia, it's not his racism, it's not his misogyny.

It's the fact he's not funny.

Bassem Youssef: He's not funny at all.
Mehdi Hasan: It's like when Henry Kissinger got the Nobel Peace Prize.

Bassem Youssef: That's the perfect analogy.

Gianmarco Soresi Says Comedians Who Cozy Up to Politicians Are No Longer “Independent” They’re Propagandists”

Mehdi Hasan: Do you feel comedians can speak honestly?

Gianmarco Soresi: That's what comedians should be doing.

But if you're having presidents and political figures on your podcast, then you have to be held to different accounts.

If we're going to wade into each other's territory, we need to be held to the same standards.

The problem is comedians suddenly being invited to things. I go, "Then you're not a fucking comedian anymore, you are a propagandist."

Mehdi Hasan: Joe Rogan was at the inauguration. Theo Von. But they're proudly independent media.

Gianmarco Soresi: Once you've turned up at the inauguration of a president, whether Democratic or Republican, how independent are you?

When you criticize someone publicly, it's harder if you know them, get dinner with them, or text them.

I don't think comedians have the strength to be cozied up, go to the events, drink the wine, hang out, party, go on the jet, and then be honest about their critiques.

Mehdi Hasan: You've been critical of the anti-woke comedy movement. Who are they?

Gianmarco Soresi: Joe Rogan is certainly the face of it. A lot of comedian podcasts have been cozying up to politicians.

Some comedians got burnt by the woke movement, COVID, and people getting in trouble for old jokes. So they found a new "free speech safe space."

But now the rebellious group is the fucking president.

You're not punk anymore. You're not cool anymore. That's the fucking principal.

You're going out there talking about how cool the principal is and saying he believes in free speech when he doesn't.

That's where I go: you're no longer a comedian. You have to admit what you are.

You're supposed to be out here critiquing those in power.

The problem is comedians got too rich, too powerful, too famous, and now we're watching huge comedians toe the line for the president.

Mehdi Hasan: Joe Rogan has had Chamath, Thiel, Musk all these billionaires. These are the richest men on the planet. You're supposed to be making fun of them.

Gianmarco Soresi: They're not asking themselves, "How are these people using me?"

A lot of comedians believe, "If I talk to this guy, who knows, maybe I sway him a little."
And I go, that's where you've become blind to what people in power do.

They do what they want. You're being used.

And maybe you agree with them on some things.

At the end of the day, Bill Maher and Trump have a lot more in common than not.

The Ayaan Hirsi Ali: “No Society Can Be Both” Islam and Western Values Cannot Be Compromised

Peter Robinson: We need to be wide awake. This really is a clash of civilizations, and there is something within Islam which has demonstrated for all 14 centuries an animus, an aggressiveness toward the West.

The problem is Islam itself. How do you deal with that argument?

Ayaan Hirsi Ali: I think, again, you have to go to the political blueprints. If you take the American Founding Fathers, it's about 200-and-something years old. It's a relatively young philosophy...

Peter Robinson: Oh yes. By comparison to Islam, it's young, yes.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali: Even if you take classical liberalism, these are relatively young ideas. And then, even younger, you get to communism and all the rest of it.

So if you think of Islam as a political philosophy, it's really one of the oldest ideas, one of the oldest governing principles.

It's not Western, and it doesn't make logical sense to the Western mind of today.

But today, it seems to me that there are very few people in the West who really think they understand the layeredness of Islam.

That's why we need qualifiers like “radical,” “extreme,” and “fundamentalist.”

I think first we have to acknowledge: yes, this is an old political philosophy. It's been around for a long time, and we don't understand it. Part of it is also we don't want to understand it.

If you get deep into the values and principles promoted from within the political Islamic doctrine, and you put them next to our Western political ideas...

you get to a place of zero-sum games.

Peter Robinson: Either it's that, or it's that. They're incompatible. No society can be both.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali: Yeah. No society can be both. The contemporary Western mind is taught to collaborate, cooperate, compromise...

Peter Robinson: Pluralism.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali: Pluralism, tolerance all, to me, fantastic ideas and a fantastic attitude toward the world. But sometimes you get to a place where it is impossible to compromise.

And I think deep down, the contemporary Western mind it's not that we don't get it, it's that when you get it, then what?

[Sa'ad @hesis_saad]

@_Jeffery0 Pluralism , tolerance, multi culturalism are western ideas and are completely unheard of in Islamic countries

“Bill Maher and Salman Rushdie Clash Over Islam: “There’s Been a Deadly Mutation”

Bill Maher: Turkey's President said, "Women are not equal to men, our religion has defined position for women, motherhood."

I can't imagine a Western government leader saying that.

What we've said all along, and have been called bigots for it, is when there's this many bad apples, there's something wrong with the orchard.

Salman Rushdie: There's been a deadly mutation in the middle of Islam.

This is not a random mutation.

Governments from the Sunni side, the Saudi government;

on the Shia side, the Iranian government have been putting fortunes of money into making sure that extremist mullahs are preaching in mosques around the world, building schools in which a whole generation is being educated in extremism.

But in a way, we're a side show. This is a project to seize power in the Islamic world.

Whether it's the Taliban, ISIS, Boko Haram, or Al-Shabaab, what they're trying to do is create a mindset which allows them to conquer the world of Islam.

Paul Begala: That's critical for Americans to realize. It's not about us. The real fight is not Islam versus the West, it's within Islam. It's between the terrorists and the tolerant. It's between Al-Qaeda and Malala.

Kirsten Powers: Yeah, but it is Americans who are being beheaded by ISIS right now.

Bill Maher: There should be a distinction, because obviously the vast majority of Muslims would never do anything like this. But they share bad ideas.

Sam Harris said, "Islam is the mother lode of bad ideas," and everyone went fucking nuts, but it is!

These two guys who shot up the cartoonist the other day were revenging the prophet.

A bad idea! Martyrdom, a bad idea! Women as second-class citizens, a bad idea! And unfortunately, the terrorists and the mainstream share a lot of these bad ideas.
