The Muslims You Cannot See | Sahar Habib Ghazi | TEDxStanford

- As an American Muslim journalist, Sahar often finds herself being "othered" because she doesn't fit into popular perception of what Muslims are, or, what she calls, the "Muslim box" built by Hollywood, the news industry and politicians. In this talk, she explains what being Muslim means to her and how the world's 1.7 billion Muslims are "so vast, varied, and intersectional that they cannot possibly fit into a box." Sahar also warns that powerful privileged people use this box to build structural Islamophobia. As the mother of a 4-year-old daughter and a former Stanford Knight Fellow, Ghazi says it is time to change the conversation about what it means to be Muslim today.
Sahar Habib Ghazi is the managing editor at Global Voices, a trusted international community of 1400 editors, writers, and translators who report on untold stories in more than 167 countries. Ghazi has lived half her life in the U.S. and half in Pakistan, reporting for The New York Times, DawnNews TV and Geo News TV. In 2009, she produced The Disposable Ally, the first documentary series on U.S. and Pakistan relations. Ghazi was a Knight Journalism fellow at Stanford University in 2011. As a multi-media journalist, editor and podcaster, Ghazi aims to disrupt unjust dominant narratives about marginalized communities.

I am a indonesian muslim father
with 4 beautiful well educated daughters without hijab
but alhamdulillah , praying and quran reading ist common thing in the family .
Many of my coworkers usually talks bad about Muslims and are usually shocked when I tell them that I am a Muslim. Then they would usually say when they learn that I am a Muslim,"but you are different because you are so nice."
that's so disappointing ya Allah
Masha'Allah, great and courageous speech.
@@mayanksharma3905 what's your problem with Muslims exactly? Aren't you the ones fighting Muslims in India and causing them hardships? They should be fearing you not the other way around. You can't hit someone and then start crying.
@@user-qw3it6xw6s the whole world is afraid of your people
@@roshnik5137 that's due to constant brainwashing by media. Unfortunately some ignorants believe everything on tv without questioning it's legitimacy or true goal behind such propaganda. It shouldn't be a secret that big powers are after the geopolitical advantage that Muslim countries have due to their location as well as the resources in these countries and so they will use all their powers to take control of it including military power and media propaganda. Some people fall for such propaganda understandably though as they are good at it and most people readily believe news when the news describe "others" and if it is convinient for them to believe and therefore get a sense of belonging with surrounding society. It shouldn't be hard to realize though which countries did the most destruction in the last century including the destruction of many Muslim countries but you are affraid to admit it and stand up to the real problem.
@@user-qw3it6xw6s not only because of media also because of teaching also my islamiat teacher teaches that muslim can never be a frnd with non muslim only jihad
Alhamdulliah! Great discussion! I took Shahada in February (at 43) and love learning as much as I can! Thank you so much!!

omrtf, which sect of Islam you converted to? if you dont mind me asking winch religion you converted from?
Sunni
Masha-Allah Sahar wat an amazing talk, u nailed it! We need more educated Muslims like urself, may Allah swt protect u and ur family, Ameen
everything was said so beautifully ..
The other thing about women in politics, in Islamic countries is that, these countries are not democratic in any sense. Therefore, certain families hold much of the emotional appeal, hence they rule. You won’t have a Benazir Bhutto as the prime minister of Pakistan if she was not the daughter of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, who was the military dictator of Pakistan in the 1970’s. She was elected in a pseudo democratic system which was backed by the army. These things are an eyewash for the world media. Women have next to nothing rights in Islamic countries.
Zulfikar Ali Bhutto was NOT a military dictator. educate yourself please.
@@FadieFink Zulfikar was foreign and prime minister of pakistan, Web is right, in all 3 Indian nation woman get elected because they come from family of ex PM or supreme leader. also you saying educate our self, people who believe in only one book, telling who believe in million book. world scholar are right, muslim never change stay way from them.
@@SinghSaab62456 not all muslims are same.....the countries who force womens are definately not following Islam as Islam always speaks about humanity and to help them no matter of what religion they .Zulfikar ali bhutto cant be called a muslim ...he was brutal ...he betrayed the rights of Bngladeshi people and the tortures they did to Bangladeshis is beyond description...he called be called a muslim.
@@linearCompound48 chill bruh,soon going to happen ....
Something I have been wanting someone to talk about from a long, long time. Thankyou :)
interfaith harmony doesn't mean corrupting your values. It means respecting each other.
Well said
@Amandeep Wahi Of course DON'T want pagan shrines after the enlightenment of Islam . wd be a major setback and ingratitude to God the Almighty .
@@bumpkin7171 lol
Courage is what she showed..! Salute! Mashallah
Marvelous! Should be mandatory viewing - somehow! As to talking softly...this is our deen! Not all the screaming we all too often hear from mimbars/pulpits.
I don't often listen to RUclips vids, but very well structured and presented. Keep up the great work.
I agree with you.
An excellent example of an intellectual Muslim woman. You inspired me with your talk.
the problem with social media is that every single person declares itself to be the wise person to decide between wrong and right without having some knowledge of anything, please educate yourself first, all these commentators over here.
what make you think they were not educated? what knowledge did you poses to judge? was that confirmed by fact or just your opinion? or is that you just get offended over fact? your statement was so ambiguous sir, get yourself some knowledge first.
beautiful soothing powerful n logical talks.
Masha Allah.. She has explained the wider facts in such a simple way.
I love this! very well spoken
great talk Masha Allah
Excellent talk. Look forward to more like this. Thanks
Masha'Allah, May Allah bless you for your input to eradicate confusion about Islam
Bravo! Such an eloquently voiced piece. The tempo was so Much better than the majority of Ted Talks I've seen, where the speaker sounds rushed, anxious, or just desperately needs to switch to DECAF.
Well-done.l
Impressive talk👏🏼 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Well done!
lovely 😙 may allah bless u and everyone on earth... n may love prosper in everyones heart
Mashallah great talk we need the more speakers like u mam really proud of u
Brilliant talk! Masha'Allah!
Sahar Habib Ghazi, Allah Bless you, You are The Brave , realistic, person I ever seen in my short life.
Very good informative talk, thank you :)
amazing, very nice talk.
I absolutely loved this. You are so beautiful and I thank you for acknowledging us so articulately. Peace be unto you.
Moving speech straight to the point 👍👍👍
From one Pakistani Muslim woman to another, well done and well said!
What an absolutely creative response!!!
Awesome Dude.......what you just referred to as "Jihad" is not the same to Muslims......and who you just referred to as "brothers" are not the same to Muslims......so your argument is invalid. but here is something for you to ponder......No one calls you or other white English men "barbarics" because of the atrocities they have carried out all over the world (including present day India/Pakistan) during the colonial era...........because it would simply be ignorant of me to paint you with the same colour. No one calls you their brothers. So why don't you take a step back, rethink, maybe talk to an actual Muslim about Islamic matters and then come back with a more informed comment.
Awesome Dude ....Terrorrist dont have any religion ...only western world tried to associated terrorrism with Islam ...Islam is the only true religion in the entire universe !
She is Kashmiri not Pakistani. She is overall an human being. She clearly said that she was against the partition of India by British. She believes in equal right of all human being irrespective of they are any religion or no religion or LGBT ( Gay ) people. In Pakistan Gay are not allowed to marry and punished by law. So her ideology does not go with Pakistani constitution, where you can not be president if you don't belong to certain religion. Where minority are not allowed to marry by law and will be punished if they try to do so.
Awesome Dude wrong
this was AMAZING!!
you did a great job. God bless!
Ultimately she said the same thing ,however people try they will multiply and then jihad no diff between a mulla and her

Turkish invader Bhaktiyar khilji in 1193 destroy Nalanda University it was one of the most prominent university at that time
Khiljis are from Afghanistan I suppose
so you are avenging Khilji's crime in 2020?
Really!! Such a joke 😅🤣🤣
Brilliant exposition Sahar! Bravo!
Loved the talk. Don't know why she talks so softly though.
deeXaeed I agree. Muslims are supposed to act humbly. Sahar is being modest but put her case forward very well.
Agreed. Not a great speaker.
Silly Point she is a great speaker though
Yup. That's true John Doe. Yet morons think that Muslims aren't victims but oppressors.
She is extremely eloquent , her soothing voice allows the viewer to be attentive
Masha Allah bless youWell said , I hope I could see more lectures about you,
Great presentation and well put - it was a pleasure to listen to!!
u are a brave lady. .ure lecture iz an eye opener for westerns. .u are doing da best for humanity n doing da will of god
Salute and AsSaLaaMu AlaiKuMu AlaiKuM to Sahar Habib Ghazi !
Wonderful soft spoken words so very powerful, informative to express to faithfulness, loving, peaceful, sacrificial, hardworking, sincere, Proud Citizens, Muslims as a family of 1.7 billion are as religious holding and law abiding, our lives in every part of the world that we are proud of even after attempts to crush or suspect, or massacred in several countries under false pretext, islamafobia towards innocent children to adults and aged.
Allah’s blessings on the Ummah!
AAMEEN!!!
Why do people that give speeches on this channel have the most soothing voices??!😂😂
Not sure 🤣
Yes, I'm considering using this video to fall asleep.
She herself is doing exactly what she is accusing others of doing. Boxing, Painting, Erasing History. She is a Kashmiri, not once ever has she talked about of Kashmiri Pandits who were killed because they had chosen to identify themselves as 'the others'.
Beware of such apologists who erase history while accusing others of erasing history.
How did she do that exactly? The subject of this video was the discrimination against Muslims in the west and how they are perceived etc. It was not about Hindus in Kashmir. Both problems are wrong and unacceptable of course but you can't invalidate one problem because the other was not "talked" about. Smarten up.
bro that's called al taqiyaah they follow it
Islam is the peaceful religion I request every follow Islam for better life...
great talk..
informative
You touched a variety of topics. However, when you invoke Kashmir pay the same respects to the Kashmiri pundits too. Try not to be biased. Else, you and I are no different.
i would like to educate myself on what you said...would you be so kind as to elaborate a bit though?
@@LonelyLioness20 He was talking about the old Hindu élites of Kasmir, the ruling elites, who for centuries were at the top in socio-economic ladder that fled Kaélites. Until they fled, they were exploiting the rest. I personally am happy that they are gone.
Really amazed by the way Sahar presented the whole topic
well said... May Allah give hidayat to all those non-muslims and open their hearts!
Great work, Without the knowledge of Islam (Quran, Sunnah) it is not possible to show the real meaning of Islam or Muslim.
Ma'am,if a man marries four women ,if this just or fair,don't u think there is need to rewrite Koran in multiple marriages ban ,as this is nothing but a way to grow population in any country where ever they go
Marrying more than one woman is allowed , only when a man has to save the orphan children and give them fatherly love.
@@mohammadobaidullah2396 madam two goats were sold to get a woman in saudi pl read Hadid u will know who did that the fate of goats ,eaten up halal and woman traumatic life in harem,fate of a goat and woman is same in Islam,hslal
Hadith is un islamic.
A little over-simplified. First r example, the incidence of female genital mutilation is 96 percent in the Egyptian countryside. That is what people talk about, not a few westernized Muslim women living in the West.
Yeah you are right bro, i am from Egypt and this happens
Very nice talk! I think it's important to portray how close Islam (or muslims) are to other religions in terms of the common message of peace and justice. Off course, there's a minority that is radicalized due to lack of education and proper upbringing in all faiths. A rational human being must be objective in making this differentiation, so this world that we live in becomes a better place for all to coexist in peace and harmony.. Amen!
Amazing video am glad that I watched it. I believe these are the kind of people we need to spread the tru picture of Islam and Muslims and not those bearded muslim scholars for they themselves dont understand Islam
Yes it does fit in a box. Show me any country where the Majority rule of Muslims treats the non Muslims equally and with respect. - there is none.
I like this talk and I can see her point of view, BUT the 'Us vs Them' separation was initially perpetuated by Muslims. It still is perpetuated by Muslims in many Muslim nations, including so-called 'moderate' Muslim majority Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, etc etc. Religious minorities are often treated as 2nd class citizens in Muslim majority countries like Egypt and Malaysia. Christians and other religious minorities are often not allowed to build or have so much restrictions on building churches and temples. So when anti-Muslim protesters call for the banning of mosques and Islamic institutions, they have to realise that these non-Muslim protesters are simply reflecting back to them the same restrictions Muslims in another part of the world imposes on their non-Muslim citizens. It's a push back and a way of saying you can't have your cake and eat it. Also, I have witnessed the shifting conservatism in Muslims around the world, particularly in South East Asia where many Muslims will not want to sit next to a non-Muslim in a public space and have their respective meals. They perpetuate this 'Us vs Them', we are 'clean' they are 'unclean', we are believers they are the unbelievers identity separation. Muslims are the ones initiating this. Maybe it's a superiority complex they feel. Though that 'superiority complex' they have has ZERO basis.
When Muslims try to shift the blame and say they are the 'victims', they have to be very careful because very often it is Muslims who subject religious minorities in their Muslim-majority countries to persecution and discrimination. Because Muslims are also the perpetrators of discrimination, non-Muslims see the double standards and resist the narrative that Muslims are sometimes victims too. The ball is in the Muslim court for them to speak out against the unfair discrimination by fellow Muslims (around the world) against non-Muslim religious minorities, women and sexual minorities (LGBTI communities). Only then will Muslims likely to see any form of discrimination against them diminish.
Spot on; you can say it louder (I mean in capitals : ) but not more clear.
What your proposing makes sense but it will never happen. These people have an agenda. They want and expect to rule the world. A live and let live mentality is not part of what they believe. Their plan is implemented simply by over populating the coutries where they are to become the majority. Then they infiltrate the government and take over the country without firing a shot. This is called fata.
What about Israel and India where they treat Muslims as a second-class citizens.
The real problem with discrimination by muslims is they couldn't care less. If you want to know the story about the US and Muslim nation's first conflict google Thomas Jefferson vs Islam. That conflict and how it played out is why the US has what is known as the Marine Corps today. Read about it and you will begin to understand the kind of conflict that had to take place to force the Muslims to back down. Complete anialation is the only thing these people understand when it comes to stopping thier aggressive ways.
@@mr.twilight319 there are a few christians palestinians who keep being forgotten
Great talk!
Islam is a religious of peace, Love and compassion. and all other things which are attached with Muslims like hatred, terrorism and satanism, are incorrect and false conclusion. Being a Muslim I welcome all the religions to become united to face terrorism and hatred-ism.
I felt very happy to saw that Lioness of Islam Sahar Habib Ghazi for showing the true image of Islam. I really appreciate her effort.
Why is it that no matter where you go muslims are in violent conflict with their neighbours, hosts, and themselves?
India has like 5-6 neighbors but have conflicts with Pakistan, China, Nepal and Bangladesh already so what's your point?
Omg She talked so politely that her words left behind , just printed in my heart.
Her voice is so soft
Admeration and respect from Saudi fully covered girl - out of faith in God's promise not under any any male pressure-. Proud of you Sahar.
i literally fell in love wid this lady bcz of her bumble and soft voice. ❤❤❤
struggler man her name is gazi which means killer of infidel !! Be prepared
EnteBoi yes such a peaceful religion producing such messengers of peace !! Just chopping off some heads and blowing some bombs here and there but It doesn’t matter you know cause they are just believers such innocent fucks !!
Manipulation done in a "soft voice" doesn't make it any less bad.
@@vineethii5278 damn man, you really need help. Spend your time wid family and Friends.
struggler man if she carries that derogatory surname of hers I can never believe her sry.
Appears modern secular but carries an ultra racial hatred derogatory surname. Wow.
Thank you 👏👏👏👏
Great Speech! It is to much injustice in the world nowadays. And it looks like almost nobody cares about humanity and peoples getting blown tortured every day. From the bottom of my heart I hope all this blood shed will disappear in my life tyme:/
Much more organised, well structure and Presented....
Excellent Sarah

you are either separate or in the same tribe. If you are both separate and yet in the same tribe, then you share pros and cons of the overall tribe.
Dude how many FPS is this video?
Islam Mrs Ghazi is talking about exist only in the imagination of muslims who do simply not follow or are ashamed to follow islam as it was intended, founded and practiced by Mouhammad and his followers
If you want to know what is islam, how it is thought, practiced and preached in real life by faithful and authentic imams, you need to listen and read the preaches and debates from the Middle East and not what Mrs Ghazi or Mrs Sarssour are trying to promote
She was at " The Women's March". that prove's how genuine she is ????
Seeing our Honourable Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and ex opposition party’s chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia in your slide, I feel really proud as a Bangladeshi.. 🇧🇩 In your speech you also told about Architect Fazlur Rahman Khan,another Bangladeshi.... Really I’m feeling proud to be a Bangladeshi.....
Beautiful presentation
RE: Some of the comments on here about Rumi.
The average educated person may *know* that Rumi was Muslim, but she's saying that this aspect of his identity is very often de-emphasized in the literature industry and in the American conceptions of Rumi.
Why does it have to be emphasised at all?
@@rairadio7119 that struck me as well
Truly said. I appreciate. :)
well done young lady great speech we should never forget how we ended up with two world wars. hate speech should stopped at its birth live and let live
It was the voice of 1.7 billion Muslims
her hair is so beautiful ...
when Islam invaded India they completely destroyed indus civilization around Sind river and destroyed Taxila university,
Remember as you sow so shall you reap
Please update your information about indian history.........FYI The Indus Civilization was destroyed by the Aryans who are considered the earliest Hindus came to India in about 1500BC which was way before the Holy Prophet(PBUH) started to spread the message of Islam in 7th centuryCE and the Muslims came to India in the 12th centuryCE and by this time the indus valley civilization was ancient history. Thus, proving that your point that muslims destroyed the Indus Valley Civilization was wrong as it is almost impossible.
ooh 114 chapters?
Liked the speech tone alot
Bibi Sahar- Good hearing the other as you call it.
Kashmir
yeh. its all Kashmir. unfortunately politics got in the way
Concept of Nation is flawed, we are all human being and we ( all humans ) should unite in the umbrella of humanity and human rights. This will stop countries fighting between each other, will spread love and happiness.
Historically Kashmir used to be a center for learning until the Islam came and destroyed the culture and made it into a hub of jihad. But this story is not unique to Kashmir.
+andrmn Please take your hate somewhere else.
Vitasta Raina: I just stated a historical fact that anyone can verify. Why are you getting so worked up?
Perhaps you should take your intolerance somewhere else :)
Nice... well said
Great Talk by Sahar Habib.
The problem of americans is not that they don't have a woman commander and chief. Both women and men can be awful rulers. Americans need to learn who are the good guys that don't get corrupt by power and wealth. And maybe after that elect people who are somewhat decent. And not people who don't believe in climate change. Heck I'm not even sure if he knows the difference between sunni and shia muslims.
The Muslim Dude there is no difference...it is just politics. I don't care one bit about who should have inherited the leadership role over the Muslim world hundreds of years ago. Such divisions only serve the war industry and people searching for others to pick on and (falsely) blame for their suffering/problems.
What about Ahmadiyya Muslims why they are not given equal rights of Muslim in many country and in many country they are punished for being Ahmadiyya Muslims.
+Code Junkes As far as I know Ahmadis believe in innovative beliefs in Islam. They say there is another prophet coming after Muhammad peace be upon him, and even though we believe that Isa (Jesus) is coming we don't say that he is coming with any new message to his arrival. When you enter into Islam you do it by saying the shahada. Thats the declaration faith which is "There is only one God and Muhammad is His slave and final messenger" . Ahmadis have an issue with this by not embracing the fundamentals of Islam. The same like as if I call myself Christian but don't believe in the fundamentals of Christianity. With that said I'm not saying they need to be punished or anything, heck no. Its just problematic to call them Muslims thats all.
They want to call them Muslims and it is their choice, you can not take it away form them that. Now ISIS may not think you are a true Muslims because you reject slavery and sex slavery which they think as a integral part of their version of the religion. They have their scriptural evidence for that. And according to you ISIS are not true Muslim for the same reason.
This is a endless debate so believe in Humanity and Human Rights, it is their human right to call themselves whatever they want. If each human human being respects others human right and give them equal right according human rights they the world will be a great place to leave without any war or violence.
I will encourage you to study about Human Rights.
The Muslim Dude
Ahmadiyyat = True Islam.
Saudi and Qatar not accept immigrants Muslim explain why
Beautiful talk, had low theme, as it was a sorrow
religion to me is very personal spiritual thing in heart , not brought to public.
Although I am not religious, but was grown in Buddhist family. I was happy to see my parents have their Buddha to mumbling to giving them a good feelings of hopes.
Buddhists believe Buddha always stays 3" above your head, monitoring your behaviors.
Doing each good thing, Buddah will accumulate your lucks to yourself, family and future generations.
It is hard for me to see the believe of a religion turn into the violence and negative impact. If so, what is sense to have religion?
the way she defines is an amazing
Superb taqiyya
Wow...such a great speech
I have no idea what this is about. Can someone explain it to me?
NO MY DEAR THE MUSLIM BOX I HAVE WAS CREATED BY THE MUSLIM i WAS MARRIED TOO FOR 8 YEARS, i HAD A MUCH DIFFERENT OPINION OF MUSLIMS UNTIL i HAD THAT EXPERIENCE.
THAT INDIVIDUAL DOES NOT REPRESENT EVERY MUSLIM.
Being a Eurasian (Half White and Half Asian) I have never realized that being a Muslim is such a burden.
I’m half Lutheran and half Buddhist. Not sure why anyone should feel insecure in the United States about their religion. I grew up in San Francisco (1953 to 1965) my first twelve years and never had to “explain” anything to anybody about who I was and why I looked “different.”
I give my Mother most of the credit for that. She taught me to respect people. She taught me that I was special but no more special than anybody else.
And to ALWAYS be aware of the feelings of others.
Shouldn’t this be the Universal Credo by which we conduct ourselves? Isn’t cross-cultural “getting-along” a two-way street?
I’m 68 years old. Grew up in an Italian/Jewish/WASP neighbourhood in San Francisco. I don’t lack for exposure to different cultures, etc, but my complaint with Muslims: Why do so many Muslims DEMAND special treatment?
Just wondering 🤫
Well, Muslims just want to be as others.. We aren't allowed to wear hijabs because people see it as something weird.. Is it right?
Did u not get a single word of what she said ?
Muslims don’t want special treatment they want to be treated normally and without a negative view like other people.
Great Speech!
I think She didn't Wait for Applause or appreciation, bcoz She knew its not Enough...
Excellent! Loved the talk.
Taqiyya at it's best.
mike harries No
Loved it absolutely
nice topic ma'am ghazi
