This Muslim-American Woman Fulfilled Her Dream Of Being A TV Reporter | Megyn Kelly TODAY
I am also a Muslim American and a hijabi, and I also want to be a tv reporter. She is such an inspiration to me!!
Muslims are trying to get more in media than other processions, in many countries such as West, India etc. so that they can control the bad press on Islam. This is a trojan horse.
Frenemy u copy n paste the same comment everywhere, if u hate yourself this much and have no life, go to psy gangam style and comment there, too many haters will read ur comment and u can create your media terrorist convention and post hate speech content. I would enjoy reading original hatred comments cz I'm tired with all old used ones... try harder. Luv ya, assalamu Alaikum!
Michel Martinez We both know what is TRUE, and we both know YOU'RE dead WRONG!!
Ayoub : " psy gangam style" ? whats that ? is that a youtube channel ?
India a Hindu country has a new TV sereies started called "Mariam Khan - Reporting Live"
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mariam_Khan_-_Reporting_Live
Looks like muslim world is encouraging muslim women to go in to news reporting., all over world. ("Marium Khan is a muslim name)
It's a scarf.....who care what she is wearing.....as long as she does the job! Good for the station that hired her! This is the way change will happen!!! Beautiful woman!
ua-cam.com/video/7d16CpWp-ok/v-deo.html
People who aren't nasty and hateful and have some sense wouldn't care what she's wearing...thankfully those hateful nasty people are finally becoming the minority,not only in this country but all over the world...most of mainstream media would want us to believe otherwise....and while there are alot of negative things happening in this world we cannot give up,because in the end love,compassion,and tolerance WILL win and I think this story and other stories like it prove that...LOVE ALWAYS WINS IN THE END :)
wendy kemp no, the hijab being used for Islamic purposes is evil.
Wendy kemp. U are the most good person in the world. 🖒
For most western people, they are not able to accept the head scarf. The nuns have been wearing it for 2000 years but still.
It's a scarf people - how could anyone discriminate because her scarf. It's prejudice and it's wrong. So beautiful:)
Its a scarf representing a repressive religion, and not representative fashion wear.
no religion in the workplace
Avis Wrentmore That's naive. This is about pushing muslim culture into our American culture. When you are allowed to enter this nation you are rightly expected to assimilate. You don't come here to push your culture on us.
Bruce Berry maybe it’s fashion wear for her. Who are you to say what represents fashion. She is happy I don’t see oppression
R Hawk Fashion? Is that how were spinning it now? If I go to a muslim country I'll be beaten for NOT wearing one. It has no place in western culture and she should be respectful of that.
I’m a Muslim in South Carolina, when I was in school. My teacher said girl take that thing off your head. I said no. People are not going to Respect you for who you are... keep pushing 🧕🏾💜🙏🏾
Ali Alghamdi thanks 🙏🏾❤️❤️
@@naceemamcmath8548 dont give up, God is with us
love you girl from a bro to a sis !
Salman The Nub thanks a lot ❤️❤️❗️🙏🏾
All the Best to You and pls don't give up as Allah Will always be with you. Insha Allah. Ameen. ❤💕❤💕😘
But i don't see a headscarf on your picture though
It's not offeneding anyone, she's not harming anyone nor is it a bad example for children. Why do you care what a reporter looks like you're aren't there to watch the reporters you're there to get your news.
Daisy Salinas it offends me that she is spreading that nasty, poisonous, Satanic, lie and sin-filled religion known as Islam all over the place.
Peashooter Winmo Be kind and love your neighbor. She doesnt talk about her religion or is trying to spread it. Wearing a head scarf is a symbol of her religion, her doing that it not rubbing it in your face. Respect that and don't cause a situation of argument.
Peashooter Winmo You do realize that this nasty religion ordered us to respect everybody and spread peace?! it told us to support our parents even if they are athiests?! tell me one reason to say that Islam is nasty or satanic ...
Daisy Salinas As a journalist, she needs to keep her religion at home. She is already presenting herself as biased.
Muslims are trying to get more in media than other processions, in many countries such as West, India etc. so that they can control the bad press on Islam and muslims; And do Taquiya on an industrial scale.. This is a trojan horse.
So happy for her! Love from all Christian Americans 💕❤👏
Kristeel epsy thnkyou bby❤
Love for all my Christian American sisters and brothers (we all share the same Abrahamic DNA💜) for being kind to fellow countrymen..💟
See verses 9:5 and 9:29 of the Koran.
Hi I am an india muslim , hop al of u r well. Basically we all r from adam and hawa by faith. So god bless all of u.
@@nghtwtchmn129 I saw them and they seemed fine lol.
May i just say she has an AMAZING SET OF TEETH.
Its Indian spices that make your teeth look like that...
@@matloob66 ☺☺
Ok you made me smile.
I went to high school with her and she actually won best smile in the year book lol
U r lookin 4 what u r lackin.
I don't want to offend anyone, but Muslim-American is like saying Christian-American; it's a religion not her ethnicity.
Yes you are right!
THANK YOU! No wonder people think muslim is a race. Smh.
Quackgoestheweasel although I get what you’re saying, it’s to point out that they’re not mutually exclusive.
It can be cultural a lot of times not just religious so it can be ethnic
I initially thought the same but mentioning Muslim-American is important here because she faced discrimination because of one aspect of her Muslim identity.
Amazing story. She is staying modest on the job. Thank you.
Ha ha ..."she is staying modest on the job"....how dumb can you get. She is saying being a slave is good.
cndvd You're a slave... A slave of brainwashing
@@cndvd who is a slave because I don't see that figure as one of them she worked hard for her dream and the support of her family. That shows freedom like a million of Muslim female around the world
@@YonikMalik ......Really ? Mandatory to cover your hair ? Hair that naturally grows on your head and you can't show it in public....you got to wake up....it's wrong ! So so wrong.
And it's because a woman could show more "beauty" is the reason, to cover. That is so so backwards.
I am an indigenous Canadian woman wearing hijab and I have been fired from jobs for praying in a corner at work on my break. I have been told to back to my country 😳 I'm Metis/First Nations my family has been here for thousands of years.
I have been physically attacked, sworn at by white Canadians. I have on the other spectrum been victim to immigrant against immigrants bullying as they think I'm from Afghanistan or Morocco or Syria.
I'm still wearing hijab but I feel very sad Canadian society has such a misunderstanding of peaceful Islam.
Narjaa Narjas salam im somali and im a muslim too and im sorry. Me and my mom have experienced discrimination too because we wear hijab. Don't let it bring you down
Carrot Cake Thank you beautiful sister 🙏🏻
Canada understand Islam very well. Islam is not a religion of peace.
Sister , if hijab is too difficult to wear where you live. Just don't wear it. It's not that important. You can be Muslim without hijab.
Dont worry about them , ignorance cant be helped , they are all losers , you are not an immigrant Canada is your land , Be strong and dont worry about ignorant people .
Yes we need more of this! Be proud of your faith and religion and never give up on your dreams.
Hi Mike
ahha be proud.. when they are proud they should live in islamic country
@@TheKroate78 It’s the other way around buddy. We’re the ones who have destroyed their countries for oil and other natural resources.
@@TheKroate78Stop embarrassing yourself with your stupid views!
@@TheKroate78Go back to europe you emigrant! If you live in America and are white you are a immigrant!
I'm glad we have representation of muslim hijabi women in journalism. She is so beautiful.
basic core they don’t allow that over there 😂
basic core when people of those religions want one ❤️
@@TheEverythingYoville They do
The comments section just surprised me, their is always good and positive people out there 👍😊
same
It’s mostly just Christians saying we are satanic
I love mother Mary (Maryam PBUH), the most purified, pious woman God ever created and she is the role model for all Muslim women for wearing their head scarves.💚💛💜
Good for you, it must be nice in Pakistan!
@@rocknaura It is actually. Better than the US and London , at the very least.
May Allah reunite us with our Mother Maryam (as) in jannatul ferdous. Ameen
@@SummeRain783 and the Lord bless you and your people in your country. Amen
Celestial Venus Why?
Hats off to Tahera’s mom.
What an upbringing, my heartfelt blessings to the mom and daughter. You guys have made the entire Muslim community in the world proud. May Allah Ta’ala bless you all profusely and abundantly.
Thank you
she has an amazing smile 💜🌸 , I don't know what's their problem with our hijab !! , after all this progress in science and technology people still judge others according to their outer appearance .
@ward hassan ikr
I am looking for a decent Muslim girl to create a family
@@анамура that sounds really weird my friend 😐
Islam is true.Only one religion without picture of god.other religions has god's image. That the image of living things as god.only one religion, Islam predict the coming events in the world till end of the world.Any one can say the past. But prediction of future is the courage and that is the symbol of true.
Humble n simply beautiful... peace
She has such a beautiful face
….and she would look even more beautiful without the head scarf.
@Bruce Berry, It’s her choice so why don’t you just respect that
Abdiaziz Mohamed ..... in the same way that Allah/Mohammed does not respect those who choose to leave the Islamic cult.
Bruce Berry you don't know much about islam or Prophet Muhammad. Islam says to respect everybody else belief. And islam is a Religion not a cult.
Bruce Berry
That's the point of the hijab
Only her family and husband are suppose to see her beauty..which I found absolutely beautiful
Congratulations Tahera you are an inspiration to others. Best of luck!
As a tichel wearer, I can identify with the kick-back that she may receive from some. But she has incredible skill and looks classier than many who are on air today. You go, girl.
Laila Hajizadeh
Google it
I'm Muslim from Egypt . Love u
I am proud to be Muslim. She is inspiration to all of us sisters. Keep going inshallah. Love you sis😗😗😗

Tahera means purity, cleaneness, fair and prudence... Luv the name and luv the hardwork, may this forever be an example for a more free beautiful brave world, USA is setting an Example, they have more Islam than there is in Morocco and many muslim countries.
@PolSmokesPot ! they mean the fair values of opportunity, tolerance that is in Islam but not practiced by those countries they mentioned...
From a particular theoretical view maybe.. since discrimination is the topic at hand I highly doubt anyone should have the notion that the US can be viewed as a role model for other countries. We simply have too much to learn, too much to apologize for. So while of course this is a great story and gives one hope, it is only one instance and not representative of the state of the country as a whole; we still have a long way to go.
She is beautiful

^^^^^ severly brainwashed
Frenemy that is hands down the dumbest comment i’ve ever read
Same Mashallah ❤️
Frenemy you know that nuns were scarfs to right
So beautiful and good inspirations from the rest of women in the world, proud of u
*yaas I'm living for all these Muslim women break barriers - not letting the media bring you down! diversity & inclusion is what makes a country great*
I loved her smile♥️😍
That's what United States of America is all about. Freedom, long live U.S.A.
John Goldman Britain got there long before lol
So that newer world freedom may be a step ahead of that of the older world
Gorgeous young lady!
Good luck!❤
Miss hello
basic core leave her alone , why have u got so much hatred in u bro just chill
@basic core hello?
I don't live in the US, but based on the Americans I had met, this is what I had always imagined it to be - civilised, tolerant, inclusive, etc. But then Trump came along, and dark clouds began to gather. Let's hope he is a passing cloud.
cafeespresso99
*Im Jewish and ppl have a right to wear any garments they want.*
Dark clouds formed under the last president obama with his unAmerican, anti-Christian rhetoric. Now the sun is rising.
Trump has improved America greatly and we love him. He's pro-American, pro-safety, pro-prosperity. He has created millions of jobs. People are not only working again, but were getting raises. Our future is so bright we have to wear shades!
But glad you don't live here and please don't come.
I am looking for a decent Muslim girl to create a family
Good luck sweeties 😢😢😢😢😢😢 beautiful story.
lupe avalos no say bad luck to the Satanists they are evil
Assalam wa alaikum from Turkey.....Congratulations to you....
Matloob Alam it's Wa alaikum salam brother ..
Awesome! At least some things are moving in the right direction in the good ol' USA.
shmad1111 No, its just more muslim infiltration of our culture.
Assimilate or go back to your muslim countries.
Enslavement of women is great ...that what it means. That's the right direction for good ol' USA ? Sounds like stupidity at it's highest level.
If you think this is progress, you need to read verses 2:222 and 4:34 of the Koran.
Words matter. Always be positive , have a good day ♥️
Wow congratulation for you ms.Tahera Rahman I am so happy for you to salute for TV station that hire her as a reporter thank you
Finally, America is becoming progressive. We had female reporters since black and white tv.
@basic core
Islam sick cult
basic core tf that isn’t the Quran....
@basic core u made up verses? wow thats low.
basic core The problem is you’re not showing the complete verse. You’re just showing what helps your case. Please spew your hatred elsewhere. 🙄
What a beautiful smile 😁
She is so beautiful Mashallah.
I request u to watch these amazing revelations from the Quran

I am so proud of this girl she kept her faith an moral
It really boggles my mind each time I see or hear someone question our hijab!? smh soooo if we were naked and wore low cut clothing boobs hanging out or what ever if that is a CHOICE or an option for a woman then WHY cant it be our choice to dress modestly!!!? When do we think we have the right to tell someone what they can wear and what they cant and WHY or how could it ever be an obstacle for employment! I'm soooooo happy to see this sister follow her dream I hope more women like us do the same! We cover our heads not our minds, We think freely and have educations and we are more than just our "scarfs" we are WOMEN!!!! Congratulations!!!
"We cover our heads not our minds" God bless take notes everyone
Ok , i take objection only to to the use of the word 'Modest' here.
So all non- hijabis are immodest?
I am a Muslim from Egypt. I want to complete half my religion by marrying a girl or an American woman or an foreign Muslim country
@Lady on google merci
@Lady on google you man or woman
I must say she’s smart, beautiful and talented as well. Good job breaking the barrier and opening the way for many other young women with dreams like yours. 👋🏻
Never give up to your dreams
She is so beautiful Ma Sha Allah
People are wierd if there is no problem in how much u want to expose of ur body...saying its personal freedom...why is it a problem of how much i want to cover of my body???
She is a muslim girl doing her job which is reporting news
She isn’t on a fashion show to wear clothes that pleases viewers.
Just listen to the news not watch the clothes
I remember in my old days seen the first black person on TV and now this ......America is great
Mashallah, proud of u. You are an amazing Muslim. Wishing u all the best.
Good on her!!! As a hardcore Shinto believer, I too wanna have my freedom of practicing my religion everywhere I go!!!!

In France for example they make such a big deal of the scarf it is just crazy...some brands had to retrieve their scarf line just to calm down the craziness around it..
I do believe in oneness of God. He is Allah SWT; He is The Real King Of Universe...
Having journalists from diverse backgrounds, rich/ poor, different cultures, men/ women, LGBT, religious/ non-religious is vital to create balanced dialogue and have less biased media coverage.
Masha Allah good
MashaAllah Very Very Nice!
Good to see Megan Kelly developing in to a human after her crazy attitude toward Muslims during her Fox News days.
Khalid A
Welcome to Fox News
@Khalid, Agreed. It’s an incredible transformation .
You dumb. She does these for money and success.
Come on Guys, Megyn (as we all do) deserves a second Chance. Don't forget, she left Fox for a reason! She's obviously trying to do better..
Sam megyn must be biting her tounge all the time. She hates muslim and is forced to pretend to be nice to one, just so that she can stay at her current job.
May Allah bless you and your family
I am also a Muslim hijab
who is an aspiring TV Reporter and she is my best inspiration
Host: "what is that mean to you, to see that your family watching you do it?"
Her: I feel blessed that not everyone gets to see that
I'm a Muslim and I want to thank.. American and European communitys for this opportunitys to all human beings and especially Muslims. LOVE Y'ALL
They pretend to like Muslims because the law enforces them to be respectful otherwise; repercussions and legal battles will occur. People employ fake nice strategy to pay their bills. Just because someone smiles at you, it doesn’t mean they have your best interest in mind. 😁 Behind the curtains, they NEVER like other religions. You must adapt to Western culture if you don’t want to be discriminated. 😁
MashAAllah
Even @ Indonesia as the the largest muslim countries in the world it's very2 rare to see hijab reporter. God bless U
Beautiful video thank you for sharing
I´m happy to see her happy. I just hope that she will be one of the reporters who at least try/strive to tell us the truth.
so proud of you mashallah!!!!!
Happy to see You here!
Mother Mary who is mother of mankind also wearing hijab
Eve is the mother of Mankind.
Mary is the mother of Jesus.
Described by Megyn Kelly as a "Muslim American'.
Does she also describe members of the Catholic Church in America as 'Catholic Americans"?
How about Jewish folks or members of any other faith?
she suffered a d struggled so much because of a head scarf ? 😂🤣 this is idiocy
Am Muslim women this is really nice 😊 👍 good work
i'm very happy for you!.
SO happy for her ❤❤❤
It's a scarf not a hijab.
If she is wearing a bikini and covering her head is it still hijab? Hijab means covering it's not just the hair.
@@AbuRobot well said
Good for here . She looks like a beautiful woman with a scarf on her head. Awsome
Mashallah she is so beautiful in the hijab
❤❤❤ Beautiful story thank you

I'm a nurse student and a lot of patients asked me why I wear hijab? And they even told me that I should quit it....
be strong sister, keep istiqoma
Jimmy # it doesn’t matter as long as she is wearing in a modest way who even care if it’s a hijab or a scarf or !!!
Why is it so hard for a hijabi woman to get her dream job?Us media criticizes other countries for woman’s right however they want to be but looks no one cares about her choice because she is covered.Why is it so challenging for a hijabi girl?She is not a woman ? If people think about it in a logical way this doesn’t make any sense. This should woman’s choice however they want to be not someone else to compel them if you don’t dress like this or that you can’t get this job. I think no one has they right to compel people by any excuses this should be illegal
Her smile 😍😍 4:42
Congratulations!
how refreshing! an educated muslim woman.
