It's not Islam, it's a cultural thing. Muhammad (ppbuh) said there should be no compulsion in religion and yet modern cultures in Islam do the complete opposite.
Ahmad has spoken before about her Syrian passport. Nevertheless, as a Saudi citizen, she was still under the rules of the Kingdom. She says she feared for her life there when she renounced Islam, which is why she decided to leave. The conversation is not about her nationality, but her experience trying to be open about her beliefs.
@cheetha123456 it means that syrian men are also very strict she has to say that because she was born in a syrian culture family..she is a brave women any ways
So what if she’s Syrian? She escaped her miserable life in Saudi. Fact. A lot of Saudi hurt national male pride on here, rather proving her point. Rana rocks!

It’s islam, not Saudi Arabia only. The Quran says الرجال قوامون عن النساء SOURAT al nisaa 34 and this is where the guardianship laws come from. In ALL Islamic nations, women live under extreme discrimination whether its uae, Qatar, Kuwait, Egypt, Libya or Pakistan! Atheists are put to death, and anyone who renounced islam is arrested and charged. Criticizing Islam will get one in prison if not killed and Christians cannot practice their faith. Evangelism is a big part of Christianity yet it’s illegal for a Christian to evangelize yet Muslims are free to practice daawa which is sharing Islam with non Muslims and that’s aparthied. Islam is aparthied for the Islamic system discriminated against all non Muslims and that’s why people are fleeing ALL Islamic countries. Whether atheist, female, or gay, they’re all fleeing Islam and Muslims, not nations only... islam is the problem here folks
Evangelism should be outlawed worldwide. It's your personal faith, no need to spread your cancer to normal rational people. You don't even know what Apartheid is. This is about religion, not race. Get an education and stop embarrassing yourself. The problem is religion, in this case Islam. Don't pretend that atheists, females and homosexuals have freedom in third world countries that are Catholic. It's all the same ignorant mythology, after all, both are Abrahamic Religions.

Your knowledge wisdom experience will enlighten you. Read not only one book...read all the good books in the world to broaden one's views. Only wisdom love compassion will set you free not any belief systems. Very happy for you Rana Ahmad
Me What evidence would you require to prove what faith she once was. Do women own their passports in Saudi? And she is scared for life but is brave and wants to highlight the plight of other women suffering in Saudi. I salute her. You seem to be afraid of her.
Me Ok. in her book she talks plenty about how she used to pray. Why would there be pictures of her out in a public place wearing the niquab? Who takes those? What would be the point? She took a nice one in front of the Kaaba though. And women in Saudi never have their passports kept by their husbands? Why would she have taken photos of her injuries? She had no faith in the justice system, and she did not want her own brother to go to jail, maybe. Why is it so hard to believe that her life was hell in that country? With a look at their laws, that sounds pretty plausible to me. Atheism is equated to terrorism in SA. Why on earth would she stay there. Your view of her story is precious, touchy and cynical. She is a brave whistle blower and is shining a light on the plight of others in the same situation., despite the possible danger. Good on her. Some would like her to stay quiet, but she isn’t going to. Not a single thing you’ve said puts her story into any reasonable doubt. Now she is free and looks really happy. I hope to meet her one day.
@Me I've read all your comments. Each and every 1 of them reveals your Total Denial of ANY of the 'facts' about that vile ideology YOU adhere to. YOU would swear black was white, that night was day. THAT is how deluded you are. The Internet is here. Information has NEVER been soooo easily accessable and with that comes knowledge. EVERYBODY now knows the truth about how backward that religion and way of life is. It is 2019 NOT the 7th century. Every1 in the entire WORLD has 'moved on' they have 'Learnt' sooo much, their minds have expanded leaps and bounds. Every1 that is except Mooslems. Now YOU may not like hearing that but it IS a simple FACT. The problem here? is that this lady here, has escaped her 'prison of a life and whats more? she's actually 'happy' possibly for the very 1st time in her entire life. Now MOST'intelligent' people would merely 'wish her well, all the best' but NOT you, NOT other mooslems. Oh no, they cant stand this young lady being 'happy' so what do you do? you slander her in anyway and every way you can think of and wish her nothing but pain and yes even Death. (and you wonder 'why' the whole world despises the way you people think?) Pft
@Feiner Fug donal trump is against muslim to enter in the USA but believe me no Saudi Muslim or citizen will be denied entry in the usa. He is sycophant of Saudi Ruler. Saudi Arabia is the real enemy of muslim world. Those arab sheikhs keep their wives and daughters like slaves but when they need to enjoy they will go to Thailand in their private jets and sleep with multiple women. They are the real culprits
@Veedu Vai Nope. But point was Saudi Arabia. This country is the biggest threat for Islamic peaceful world. 90% terrorist organisations are back by Saudi citizen. They have wealth enough and that they used in bad manner. They will not help where needed.

So much admiration for this girl! Fair play Rana, hopefully more people, not just women will follow your footsteps. Too many Muslims are brainwashed by the likes of Zakir Naik etc. He is nothing but a silly narrow minded individual. So anyway, fair play to you for escaping that hell Rana.
Commenter means well but she should not be stating where Rana is studying. There is a video that Rana has done with Richard Dawkins interviewing her where she has said her brother is looking for her to murder her to save the "honour" of the family. If you dont know what that means, watch the movie the Honour Diaries. There should be a trailer here on youtube.
If any Muslim become atheist ask them did you read whole quran I bet 98% person never read the whole quran. Because quran challenge atheist if this book is book not from your creator then prove with evidence .
Bapi Mishra Useful in the sense that cave parents were protective of their children, passing survival techniques to the next generation. But they also passed on their crude assumptions about things like, thunder and lightning. Superstition took hold becoming the will of god. So trapping humanity in religious dogmas.
It's because indoctrinated people who snap out of fairy tales should be applauded. Yes, Islam is the fastest growing religion, when one assumes that children of certain ethnicities retain their religion by culture alone. This number of course pales in comparison to the growing number of people who understand simple facts and are non believers. Furthermore, everyone knows that when religious people come to civilized countries, they become far more irreligious, even more so when it comes to generations that follow, so no, you don't have an actual point. Also, she's an author, so she's not just some random person who ran away from the tyranny of Sharia Law in Saudi Arabia.
there are hundreds of million woman who love devotion and religion. We need more devoted woman here in Europe, so we can send our not so devoted woman down to Arabia
Wow,look at you, such as brave,smart vibrant enlightened soul,God bless you, never sell yourself short,you are such an inspiration to everyone, Courage is the greatest of all virtues, you are so blessed.
@tariq Ahmed it's a saying in a way, I don't believe in God, there is only "Existence ", I am not an atheist, but anything is better than Islam, Muhammad was a sick man, there is nothing good about the koran.
fascism died because against hmanity islam is for humanity and peace it will not die you will see it your genaration and genaration to cpme and will see islam prospering and progressing 1400 years is not long journey
sjd channel ISIL and Wahabism are facist ideologically. They are totalitarian.and govern via fear.and thought controlling dodma. They are the opposite of humanist. They are the opposite of peaceful.
Dear Rana , be proud of your being an atheist , you are a unique example of bravery , wish you the best and all your dreams, which are ours as well, will come true ,
It is not as in Saudi as she is telling. There are many people from different countries working and living there and residing peacefully. She is the victim of her parents' wrong bringing-up, I guess. No offense, just a personal point of view. She is not saying anything about her parents who brought her up. She is after the government and authorities along with Islam that has nothing to do with her decision to change the path. That's an anomaly. She just wants to live a life that is not permitted by her parents as there are families, in KSA, living a liberal life. I dunno what she is talking about as in every society you are going to find some fundamentalists and progressive thinking holders. Such people never blame the religion for the transgression they intend to have for themselves; it's the people who misuse it for their personal gains, so are those who leave it by blaming it blindly.
Guys this life is not everlasting their must be another life where we all will get our regards rather it’s for good deeds or bad so in this worlds we not free to do anything or what we want we must have to follow the creator Please Read about Islam it’s a Human and Neutral Religion islam is perfect but Muslims are not 😊
Don't blame Islam, this is a cultural thing. Muhammad (ppbuh) said there should be no compulsion in religion and yet governments will kill you for leaving.
@@alokneet Pedophiles live in the Roman Catholic church. You can't blame a man for doing what was legal during his time period. Mary was 12 when she was to marry Joseph, she was 12 when she gave birth to Jesus but it wasn't looked at as wrong back then. 1800s-1930s here in the United States little girls down South with the permission of their parents could get married at the age of 16.
The true God known as Jesus Christ is not about religion at all. Grace through faith is all about relationship not religion at all like Islam or atheism. That is a religion onto it self you have to believe to understand AC isn't that's why it's a religion.
Religion, Government can control people, but not people's minds.It is only Buddhism that teaches how to control mind because it is not a religion, it is a great Philosophy. It is all about Psychology, Physics, atheism (how to chart your path without external help).By practicing Buddha's Teachings one is guarded & protected by Gods.The fault is there is no forced teachings.True achievers of grand results known as Enlightened Monks(Arhants)prefer to live in the jungle caves without interaction with public.They follow Buddha's rules"don't show off".They travel in the sky,walk on water,dive in to the earth crust,make fire,stop fire, make rain,stop rain,convert anything into gold & many more. You are granted complete freedom to think & accept or reject.One warning: it is not easy to learn,'one needs lot of time,patience & effort. If you are lazy or lack of time don't waste your time learning Buddhism.It is so time consuming to learn.May all beings be well & happy!May all beings love each other!
Leaving saudi arabia might be her right decision but i guarantee her that she is going to regret for leaving islam. Islam is the only peaceful religion in this world. No matter how it has been portrayed or perceived. But the truth is the Crystal clear that no religion other than islam has given all rights to a woman. In islam, Women empowerment is a part of the faith and it is not the fault of religion if it is not being practiced the way we had been taught by Almighty Allah through his Prophet and the Holy Quran.
Hehehe. Ok. First her real name is Alaa Aljababi and not Rana Ahmed. Secondly, there are 2 recent videos in Arabic from 2 atheists saying she cheated them and stole money from them and cheated a woman from Gaza in Palestine
Feiner Fug whatever you just wrote ... it doesn’t make sense If you are happy that Muslims hate each other, well...I am sorry to disappoint you that Muslims love each other more than any thing else ... so act happy now
h k the question was answered in the thread, if she was keen and honest to show her identity, she should be honest and corrected her identity, instead she chose to be labeled as Saudi, because that will grab more media attention, since she lied, she is not worth to listen to her, cause what guarantee that she didn’t lie twice or through the whole video !
In Saudi Arabia you get killed if you criticise the prince and king. you get killed if you are Muslim but not think like Saudi. so killing is part of government business in Saudi Arabia. women just start driving, demonstration is illegal no one can demonstrate ! and so on.. BUT how Saudi maintained to survive in these modern time?! Thanks to USA, EU and Israel. they need Saudi and Saudi is not close friend of Iran OR Russia ! Saudi is close friend of USA and EU and Israel (covertly)
Rana Ahmed, idk that name is more Pakistani, but the accent is not Pakistani, moreover, this name is used for male in Pakistan, as well as in almost every other place in the middle east. did she changed her name?
Leaving Saudi Arabia and becoming aethist is not a mean matter , other beautiful Saudi defectors women should quit hijab , abeya and niqab and dress like rana
Why does alot of ppl care about her nationality? If she's from Saudi Arabia or Syria no one cares its won't change her own story stop thinking about it and focus on the important side in her story .
Where the all young generation in middle east country especially Saudi Arabia , and Pakistan, Iran ( on going), become atheist like Rana, this is great sign that humanity and peace in earth will arise soon . First step like intermediate position
The interviewer for this piece is either stupid or working for the Fascist , Islamist garbage regime of Saudi Arabia. The young woman kept telling her that the so-called freedom for women the sadist, Islamist regime claims is just a facade for useful Western idiots like her and that zero freedom obtains there ,but she kept asking same fucking question as if she was part of the regime herself! Fuck this stupid people we see in the West!
Rana Ahmad is very rationalist and scientific. She is a great humanist in the world. Many many thanks you for your benevolent despotism as a human being. As a human being no need of god and religion (all). Humanity is the best religion. All God and all religion's are the worst enemy of mankind and best weapons used for exploitation nothing else.
Hehehe. Ok. First her real name is Alaa Aljababi and not Rana Ahmed. Secondly, there are 2 recent videos in Arabic from 2 atheists saying she cheated them and stole money from them and cheated a woman from Gaza in Palestine
Brave and intelligent woman. I wish no harm ever comes to her. People of all religions need to change for better by leaving religion. There is no place for any religion even milder ones in this age of reason.
I would suggest reading Sam Harris "The end of faith". He suggests that religious "moderates" are enablers of the religious fanatics. I believe this is true.
She's a brave & intelligent woman! My girl left me cuz i left Islam
Congrats, you dodged two bullets with one duck
Good for you! She probably would have had repercussions with her family. They'll kill them, you know!
Good for you, she doesn't deserve you!
logical approach she want to be slave

Some would like her to stay quiet, but she isn’t going to. Not a single thing you’ve said puts her story into any reasonable doubt. Now she is free and looks really happy. I hope to meet her one day.
@Me Talk about denial? Pft
@Me I've read all your comments. Each and every 1 of them reveals your Total Denial of ANY of the 'facts' about that vile ideology YOU adhere to. YOU would swear black was white, that night was day. THAT is how deluded you are. The Internet is here. Information has NEVER been soooo easily accessable and with that comes knowledge. EVERYBODY now knows the truth about how backward that religion and way of life is. It is 2019 NOT the 7th century. Every1 in the entire WORLD has 'moved on' they have 'Learnt' sooo much, their minds have expanded leaps and bounds. Every1 that is except Mooslems. Now YOU may not like hearing that but it IS a simple FACT. The problem here? is that this lady here, has escaped her 'prison of a life and whats more? she's actually 'happy' possibly for the very 1st time in her entire life. Now MOST'intelligent' people would merely 'wish her well, all the best' but NOT you, NOT other mooslems. Oh no, they cant stand this young lady being 'happy' so what do you do? you slander her in anyway and every way you can think of and wish her nothing but pain and yes even Death. (and you wonder 'why' the whole world despises the way you people think?) Pft
@Me then how about Anni Cyrus!
My salute to you brave lady
Long Life for the Secularism, is the lone response against the religious supremacy ! The right to believe as the right not to believe !
Girl want to live how she wants to live.
**Muslims gets angry**
She leaves the country so she can find that freedom.
**Muslim also gets angry**
She is so brave. Wow!
The world needs more of her.
Those western countries are supporting her and it is very good. But Those countries are also supplying weapons and everything for Saudia Arabia.
@Feiner Fug donal trump is against muslim to enter in the USA but believe me no Saudi Muslim or citizen will be denied entry in the usa. He is sycophant of Saudi Ruler. Saudi Arabia is the real enemy of muslim world. Those arab sheikhs keep their wives and daughters like slaves but when they need to enjoy they will go to Thailand in their private jets and sleep with multiple women. They are the real culprits
@Veedu Vai Nope. But point was Saudi Arabia. This country is the biggest threat for Islamic peaceful world. 90% terrorist organisations are back by Saudi citizen. They have wealth enough and that they used in bad manner. They will not help where needed.

So much admiration for this girl! Fair play Rana, hopefully more people, not just women will follow your footsteps.
Too many Muslims are brainwashed by the likes of Zakir Naik etc. He is nothing but a silly narrow minded individual. So anyway, fair play to you for escaping that hell Rana.
Why do we need a religion to live as human? Or we need a religion to live as inhuman? Think wisely
Commenter means well but she should not be stating where Rana is studying. There is a video that Rana has done with Richard Dawkins interviewing her where she has said her brother is looking for her to murder her to save the "honour" of the family. If you dont know what that means, watch the movie the Honour Diaries. There should be a trailer here on youtube.
merlinsreturn I hope she is able to transfer her studies. Or maybe that Cologne was a decoy.
Wow, be the change you want to see indeed, way to go Rana!
If any Muslim become atheist ask them did you read whole quran I bet 98% person never read the whole quran. Because quran challenge atheist if this book is book not from your creator then prove with evidence .
I love athiests..God bless you all.
God bless atheists....? God and Athiests?
If they don't believe in God how God will bless them 🤔

A nice slogan. But religion began with fear of death leading to ancestor worship.
Bapi Mishra
Useful in the sense that cave parents were protective of their children, passing survival techniques to the next generation.
But they also passed on their crude assumptions about things like, thunder and lightning. Superstition took hold becoming the will of god. So trapping humanity in religious dogmas.
She was living in wahabi idiology that is why she speaking like that
why she is treated like a celebrity just for leaving islam in west ...when islam is fastest growing religion even in western countries...
It's because indoctrinated people who snap out of fairy tales should be applauded. Yes, Islam is the fastest growing religion, when one assumes that children of certain ethnicities retain their religion by culture alone. This number of course pales in comparison to the growing number of people who understand simple facts and are non believers. Furthermore, everyone knows that when religious people come to civilized countries, they become far more irreligious, even more so when it comes to generations that follow, so no, you don't have an actual point.
Also, she's an author, so she's not just some random person who ran away from the tyranny of Sharia Law in Saudi Arabia.
there are hundreds of million woman who love devotion and religion. We need more devoted woman here in Europe, so we can send our not so devoted woman down to Arabia
Wow,look at you, such as brave,smart vibrant enlightened soul,God bless you, never sell yourself short,you are such an inspiration to everyone,
Courage is the greatest of all virtues, you are so blessed.
@tariq Ahmed it's a saying in a way, I don't believe in God, there is only "Existence ", I am not an atheist, but anything is better than Islam, Muhammad was a sick man, there is nothing good about the koran.
@tariq Ahmed Allah bless you
And I thought Nazism was dead and buried.

No. Ideology’s never die. Neo fascists and islamo fascists are always in waiting .
fascism died because against hmanity islam is for humanity and peace it will not die you will see it your genaration and genaration to cpme and will see islam prospering and progressing 1400 years is not long journey

تحية خالدة للحرة. البطلة. رنا احمد.
She is not Saudi. She is Syrian. You should get someone from Saudi Arabia to talk about our problem. She is lying about her nationality
Saudi Arabia is earth,if you visit-you can understand how nice is there
Dear Rana , be proud of your being an atheist , you are a unique example of bravery , wish you the best and all your dreams, which are ours as well, will come true ,
It is not as in Saudi as she is telling. There are many people from different countries working and living there and residing peacefully. She is the victim of her parents' wrong bringing-up, I guess. No offense, just a personal point of view. She is not saying anything about her parents who brought her up. She is after the government and authorities along with Islam that has nothing to do with her decision to change the path. That's an anomaly. She just wants to live a life that is not permitted by her parents as there are families, in KSA, living a liberal life. I dunno what she is talking about as in every society you are going to find some fundamentalists and progressive thinking holders. Such people never blame the religion for the transgression they intend to have for themselves; it's the people who misuse it for their personal gains, so are those who leave it by blaming it blindly.
God bless you Rana. Looking forward to reading your book.
Live long and prosper.
GOD bless her....😂😋😂🤣😂 she is f***in atheist..bumd azz

U had car car man manufacturers or automatic born
Double bravo to you brave beautiful smart women.
Many many thanks you for your rationalist discussions.
Guys this life is not everlasting their must be another life where we all will get our regards rather it’s for good deeds or bad so in this worlds we not free to do anything or what we want we must have to follow the creator
Please Read about Islam it’s a Human and Neutral Religion islam is perfect but Muslims are not 😊
Saudi was colonised by the West yet never modernised but Japan done it without colonization?

Don't blame Islam, this is a cultural thing. Muhammad (ppbuh) said there should be no compulsion in religion and yet governments will kill you for leaving.
@@alokneet Pedophiles live in the Roman Catholic church. You can't blame a man for doing what was legal during his time period. Mary was 12 when she was to marry Joseph, she was 12 when she gave birth to Jesus but it wasn't looked at as wrong back then.
1800s-1930s here in the United States little girls down South with the permission of their parents could get married at the age of 16.
@@alokneet It's very disturbing and disgusting in our modern eyes but the ancients saw things very differently.
I want to read that book!!
The true God known as Jesus Christ is not about religion at all. Grace through faith is all about relationship not religion at all like Islam or atheism. That is a religion onto it self you have to believe to understand AC isn't that's why it's a religion.

Jesus is fictional.

Religion, Government can control people, but not people's minds.It is only Buddhism that teaches how to control mind because it is not a religion, it is a great Philosophy. It is all about Psychology, Physics, atheism (how to chart your path without external help).By practicing Buddha's Teachings one is guarded & protected by Gods.The fault is there is no forced teachings.True achievers of grand results known as Enlightened Monks(Arhants)prefer to live in the jungle caves without interaction with public.They follow Buddha's rules"don't show off".They travel in the sky,walk on water,dive in to the earth crust,make fire,stop fire, make rain,stop rain,convert anything into gold & many more.
You are granted complete freedom to think & accept or reject.One warning: it is not easy to learn,'one needs lot of time,patience & effort. If you are lazy or lack of time don't waste your time learning Buddhism.It is so time consuming to learn.May all beings be well & happy!May all beings love each other!
@Vishnu Theagarajan Thank you! You are quoting something from Mahayana Buddhist tradition. We belong to Theravada Tradition.
Leaving saudi arabia might be her right decision but i guarantee her that she is going to regret for leaving islam.
Islam is the only peaceful religion in this world. No matter how it has been portrayed or perceived. But the truth is the Crystal clear that no religion other than islam has given all rights to a woman. In islam, Women empowerment is a part of the faith and it is not the fault of religion if it is not being practiced the way we had been taught by Almighty Allah through his Prophet and the Holy Quran.
LMFAO
this makes me grateful to be american
Hehehe. Ok. First her real name is Alaa Aljababi and not Rana Ahmed. Secondly, there are 2 recent videos in Arabic from 2 atheists saying she cheated them and stole money from them and cheated a woman from Gaza in Palestine
You seem really powerful... courageous...welcome to good life

She not saudi she is Syrian
Great to stand for liberty and freedom..
People need to stand for themselves
she is not Saudi .. She is Syrian
is Saudi an ethnicity or nationality?
would a child born of UAE parents with Saudi citizenship be considered Sauidi person?
Feiner Fug whatever you just wrote ... it doesn’t make sense
If you are happy that Muslims hate each other, well...I am sorry to disappoint you that Muslims love each other more than any thing else ... so act happy now
@Feiner Fug Its called Politics, like Government of Venezuela, Russia don't like US & UK
@Kat Jwhat s the difference if she is Syrian? Can u clarify?
h k the question was answered in the thread, if she was keen and honest to show her identity, she should be honest and corrected her identity, instead she chose to be labeled as Saudi, because that will grab more media attention, since she lied, she is not worth to listen to her, cause what guarantee that she didn’t lie twice or through the whole video !
QUESTION IS POWER
In Saudi Arabia you get killed if you criticise the prince and king. you get killed if you are Muslim but not think like Saudi. so killing is part of government business in Saudi Arabia. women just start driving, demonstration is illegal no one can demonstrate ! and so on.. BUT how Saudi maintained to survive in these modern time?! Thanks to USA, EU and Israel. they need Saudi and Saudi is not close friend of Iran OR Russia ! Saudi is close friend of USA and EU and Israel (covertly)
Rana Ahmed, idk that name is more Pakistani, but the accent is not Pakistani, moreover, this name is used for male in Pakistan, as well as in almost every other place in the middle east. did she changed her name?
Beautiful, smart and brave women. I would like to read her book in English or Polish
Good for you 💕
People must be careful not to compare Saudi culture and Islam... ISlam is universal religion just happend to be introduced by an Arab prophet...
Great girl.
Great step.
Beautiful ,strong and intelligent girl.
I Love her! Fight. Brave Rana.. keep well.
You are a bad hart women.but muslim girls is perfectly protected is allahu subahanavu tahala.(allah kareem)
I love athiests...God bless you all.
Why you keep giving God’s blessings
Sadly, half of everyone is going to dismiss her as an Islamophobe.

Leaving Saudi Arabia and becoming aethist is not a mean matter , other beautiful Saudi defectors women should quit hijab , abeya and niqab and dress like rana
She is intelligent and maritorious girl my love for her
Ma'am in Saudi Arabia a lot of want leave islam became atheist ⚛...bcz I want ask question ...
Why does alot of ppl care about her nationality? If she's from Saudi Arabia or Syria no one cares its won't change her own story stop thinking about it and focus on the important side in her story .
Be a free thinkers and liberal
I'm Leonilo I work in KSA since 1991 till 2018 their culture is very strict
why would u work in ksa when you have the whole world?
She’s Syrian..
Where the all young generation in middle east country especially Saudi Arabia , and Pakistan, Iran ( on going), become atheist like Rana, this is great sign that humanity and peace in earth will arise soon . First step like intermediate position
She’s not saudi 🤦🏻♂️
Good for her , fight for your sisters and rest of women to be free and happy.
The interviewer for this piece is either stupid or working for the Fascist , Islamist garbage regime of Saudi Arabia. The young woman kept telling her that the so-called freedom for women the sadist, Islamist regime claims is just a facade for useful Western idiots like her and that zero freedom obtains there ,but she kept asking same fucking question as if she was part of the regime herself! Fuck this stupid people we see in the West!
Rana Ahmad is very rationalist and scientific. She is a great humanist in the world. Many many thanks you for your benevolent despotism as a human being. As a human being no need of god and religion (all). Humanity is the best religion. All God and all religion's are the worst enemy of mankind and best weapons used for exploitation nothing else.
Hehehe. Ok. First her real name is Alaa Aljababi and not Rana Ahmed. Secondly, there are 2 recent videos in Arabic from 2 atheists saying she cheated them and stole money from them and cheated a woman from Gaza in Palestine
FIX the title "Syrian seeking asylum in Germany ", She is not Saudi Arabian as you claim in the title.
n7eet Saud is a dynastic tribe not a country.
Brave and intelligent woman. I wish no harm ever comes to her. People of all religions need to change for better by leaving religion. There is no place for any religion even milder ones in this age of reason.
I would suggest reading Sam Harris "The end of faith". He suggests that religious "moderates" are enablers of the religious fanatics. I believe this is true.
WOW she is amazing xx
Like the great AP says: Stay away from islam!
Rana is Syrian not Saudi !!!!
And when she will become useless you will throw her like a piece of carbage
No english translation I can't read German
So just Stop giving interviews & translate into English first
