next it's witness stay with us. fear is a very important source of information for many people around the world when all the cameras are gone i'm still here go into areas that nobody else is going to talk to people that nobody else is talking to and bringing that story to the forefront. ok let me. just a little bit out of the. kids and my own good. how do you. end up being fired by.

the school. for kind. of talent show called the young talent show. why don't we get together and it was going to be like me saying kind of thing. we performed together as possible government for years before we killed it to small . away from j. k. . because my son my. son when i hit the house i grew up in a household where my mom is extremely religious. churches that i went to was very was appalled you go to most all pentecostal churches they are buried i believe. so i was very used to hearing music that was about praise but that was a very important theme so that definitely impacted on my idea what music is

supposed to be about. and the passion you can slice and focus. in said john. when they are alive like we've always been on the spiritual journey to we've been seeking something and i think a person for whom it was a kind of natural continuation of that journey and that search that's kind of the boards together in the first place our kind of quest for the truth you know there's an earthquake quote below like when there's a quake what were made for them let them go there would be disturbed. are you looking for as well so why are you with some of the. ok so it's not finished at all and i remember like

this before the the he is create it's great lights illustrates the levels of hate he made i was not aware of the argument of light music been around or anything like that in tow i have embraced islam. many many years ago when i met this muslim lady she said to me that the basics is that you have to cover your head and of course you know you have to wear the the the the loose clothes as well which you guys do because you don't want people to see you know your sexual out like yeah so of course and that's also i suppose to keep you know in conspicuous rights and then suddenly you got on stage a lot i thought that is that although it isn't it is it just may always a conflict in some hell there's obviously people to follow a very strict kind of possibility for the what we do is also into miscible and they will message us weekly on facebook why do you do this when you know that what you

do is forbid you know and i would like. if it was a bit and i wouldn't want to have someone like e-mailed us and say what you do is for bidding you go into how would you send people to hell is highly disrespectful and if it is offensive an answer in his long term that is used is horrible so basically what they're saying is that i think music is the is condemning it's to help basically for most of us when i think about hip hop and we think about snoop dogg in the ninety's you know you think about he's videos know the rest of it and it's very very sexual in the i mean but here you are you girls are in that music genre if you like and of course you know sexuality should not come into play because your muslim converts to me hip hop has never been this kind of sexual the rocketry art form i know it exists within and within the spectrum of hip hop but it's not helpful to me.

to go somewhere so we have no manager we have no money we've just like a lot of passion and a lot of faith. you. suddenly were like all over the world in a sly while you know this. it's beyond even what i could have even imagined way through when this please make some noise going on i think you'll give me. this is ok q but it was a chick my kid how do you know you must be puppets number one eight. hundred to one complexion don't go to come over to detention in your job if they can be called you will be. back but why don't you just take a cab or have bad luck to. you. and that if he doesn't like you they're not quite like me to pay the bills will be killed before you can buy the idea like this

like. there are many life overlaps between hip hop and islamic culture. i think for the complementary. wow i didn't know all of these for you i'm in heaven right now but we've got some more like islamic smiles like. the black man the man how about what you learned that was. all classical and small that moment. yeah it was just. one day when i got married what my husband ok but. i'm not really know my islam outside of being married. when he grateful that i did meet someone who

compatible with you know so let me be an artist never been so he's been uncomfortable with or to men say it's buy or anything because he's also an artist. yeah i'm sorry but i don't want to fish something you don't need not want you know but i have to cook and it's a lot of trouble with the house of oil let's get the whole head of. the ball who are a bit and you're right. i enjoyed living with sakineh mohammadi that was like ok to be a year because music you know worked with each other was like you know best friends are like little bits of it i think was a little bit much to both of us as well so this is good. and sometimes unfortunately when you convert to islam. is that you get married now i've had situations where you know i was speaking to barbers and they quite clearly

said if you quit what you do to now marry you it is it's harder but i mean it's just like if i wasn't on stage i probably wouldn't find the right person. i feel the buy that i was dumped to be had that problem maybe because i'm not done simply share my world with the not things like a dream so far but wait remember when you came his day would have done it's a feel disappointed that. this candidate backpack a job in it was the reason you were with the band in birmingham is that burning them is very much an enormous sum and the power as you know that's. the only place that i've heard you say as if you know music is bradford said there might be some sensitivity versus just performing to music like there was in the pool. maybe guys to do a spoken word. it's up to you guys really you know you know you're dependent i mean

i just think that market is a general rule of of music and then that's fine and it will go i just don't think it's it's bad that i can tell you very clearly with a sense of numerically that it's around is right you know for us it's going to tell you straight if the problem is the sisters so we're going to change it because i don't have a problem with the sisters and really didn't understand the whole message or market so this virtual is irrelevant that markham gazes here three of voice of the women are kind of and are quick to be to try to engage me on the people with no dissipated male tools these older people didn't and that's the real this is a problem between the older generation and younger generation that will be all ready for them is not what they have in birth but that is what is this is too crazy that we cannot force i will let you. know what we believe in the florida plates and the saints some of the band's music oh so that's what this series is

this is almost a well was they know what the sense of this is all followers or they don't know that this is what company this is a i mean if we're going down with like oh you know. now he's willing to do this what have you then that's saying to them they're absolutely right what you think about music being around you think about will you for me it's right. when i converted to islam i see the biggest concern obviously was a role of women cultures and societies of the story it's long for their own kind of you know men have used it in a way to oppress women but that's not what the law said and that's not what the prophet peace be upon him left behind. the. noise. was

a maiden. st no one at the greek the people to meet the people of the making on the street the streets make me strong enough to get. to my feet to. be come. to you you came to. me and told you he will. see you to you and you will. believe what the you know i called the other. side of the. seat you. see to me what you gentlemen know let me just what my normal bungling was michael heard that people feel as

a woman being on stage is her kind of exposing herself the voice of the woman they say is like part of her private parts that shouldn't be seen by the public. this one's daughter's. speired the fact that women are often told we'll have to force an event so that if we perform you have to sit down or the law allowed. to walk around like to grab his do you know our biggest argument to this is the fact that it almost is then someone will speak for us they say. i'm not supposed to be. errantly i'm not even the hostess stand here and hold the attention i call out why am i here

i am so out of it how do you feel oppressed is he. had to really win their own place within society when men and women listen to this is why what is. buried in there are the i have a lot of hope and you know what genesis i heard last. night and. cursed. those there was no. open space for her. not to answer and. our biggest dilemma right now is like what do we do. if we perform

only spoken word or only poetry and we would feel it would almost seem as though we've been defeated in a way and we've allowed someone to kind of come in and dictate to us what we call a do i think. my potential i gave enough is fear of failure but is fear of other people's opinions. but i think really my fears are to do with my spiritual life my potential what i can do in this world and what i could offer in this world because i think my experiences in life i'm able to give something back and it's almost as if i don't there maybe things are being frugal. arabic. and i was understood in his town is about people coming together to have

a sense of responsibility towards each other. if you have wealth you have a responsibility to make sure all of those around you are able to eat. there's so much less is so much good that you receive from giving. i just may say i hope that one of the guys happy here tonight and does that mean you don't but i hope the homeless person all day gets fed. tonight we've got a pack night for your visit entertain we've got comedians we've got singles archipelago. and we've got options and we've got time when you can actually get rid

of some of the money some of you have got to go to give me fifty pounds for that you're doing your house fifty you got damn touch. is perfect soldier brother had about running a post. we don't continue to we're going to stay. right here with me good luck to you nobody really where. they told you who's going to be . carried out here in our carry permit thank you. i'll call you guys for your pension. ok i really would appreciate if you guys know so much you can decide to support his father who if you can't leave him without life three minutes or so that's ok cause it's not easy being on stage.

before i was born i took two old one to testify that there was none but he and the other two right in the name of he the most righteous and told the souls of the voiceless can be set free. i've shed alleys requests things that backstreets is rat rolled all over me cold and exposed survivability i've sat in corners as he stands over me he wishes to offload to meet rolled my soul and so i cannot stand the very stench of welcome to the birth of the death of my chastity desperately seeking to fill my wants now too with love but all he has to offer is. so and tell my lord lave my whiteley's to rest i pray that my last where it's most smell sound in taste something very similar to this and me. thank you thank you.

thank. you thank you very much for your software to programming. i feel i have been doing this too long to be in environments like this where people pay like a lot of money is a high quality innocent entertain me personally i've never on the planet this from ever regarded myself as an entertainer not an entertainer. this is an entertainment it's not supposed to make you laugh or make you feel warm and fuzzy inside this thing. i'm never going to do them and i. will never really make much money out of. being in

morocco really exciting but it's also like a big honor because it's the first time we've had the opportunity to perform in the muslim country. but only just. i feel connected to god in many different times but especially when i'm traveling especially in travel what's a pilgrimage is just a sense of gratitude. when you're in a paradigm which is kind of being given to you by way of rules all the time you can lose the heart and the spirit and the and the reason why you became muslim in the first place.

when it comes to god always been on the journey. i've always been aware of the sushi kind of way and i've always been inclined to win but i didn't really know where to go. to such an illegal field of any lack of either so if you pop is this relationship to creativity. in some cultures music that's why big part of worship to say you'll find people using you say can fit in. touch. with think to elicit. i think if i was ill i

guess it's such that i know that god. was. the agency from which school. that i am was a living that. that. i really admired the kind of culture where women can kind of take back the reins and relationship with a lot i love the way the women get together every friday the way they play the

music and the way they sing and the way they do this is what it's about islam is a religion that should allow you to be creative and fluid in your relationships so . easy to. believe. but. never with me.

i just. wanted to take. a step. so. i don't. get. how out. i. knew. everything. he loves hip hop people in america and in palestine in jamaica people has always been used as a tool to speak to people. who god is of like the you know where you're coming from

just because your religious doesn't mean that you can't partake in this world. and still it has place where i'm comfortable in being with him every time i come to somewhere like rocco and just see different coaches expressing themselves in different ways it makes me feel more comfortable and actually i don't have to like the specifics to still belong to this specific group within london within you know crystal ball we came from these experiences isn't just music we like and we gain so much insight biennale these different countries and the like because it's in some way kind of use what we've learned. but you know we just need to think about what we do in the west we can't imitate other people we need to try and find something

that is and still frantically is long. term. mission man. yeah we. went back to take a stab. and . it's unlikely the band members to travel to the banks of the music. and share a stage with imagine a challenge. i did not. ask for at this time how does the. business updates roll to you by qatar airways
