The tension following the Paris attacks has created an extreme sense of Islamophobia in Europe. Today, it was reported that there has been 115 Islamphobia attacks in the week. Most victims of the UK hate crimes were Muslim girls and women aged from 14 to 45 in traditional Islamic dress. I couldn't think of a more poignant time to release this video.
Listen guys, I know what everyone wants to hear and how they want it to be packaged. But I have been around the world and back over the last two years. I have seen the world is not all bright colours, and smiley vlog faces. Sometimes we learn from its harshness and bitterness, so rather than create art, which people WANT to hear I have focused on what they NEED to hear.
As to the nature of the video it is not pro-religion/pro Islamic, I have no interest to promote or encourage any religious doctrines. Anisah's Song is ANTI-HATE. This story is not to promote any agenda, it is to highlight that on a daily basis people are persecuted not only for what they believe, but being who they choose to be. Islamophobia is just one example, the persecution of innocents due to their race is another, and there are many more examples. Hate Crime is wrong and as long as we live in a world that allows this, none of us will ever be free/safe.
After the video release is settled, we hope to release "Anisah’s song" as a single, to which a portion of the proceeds will be donated to organisations helping victims of violent hate crime.

PLEASE READ!! This is something very personal to me.....
Dedicated to my younger sister. End Hate Crime!
With it just being Hate Crime UK awareness week, the niqab debate raging in Toronto and just last month 16 year old Tasneem Kabir being attacked in London for wearing a hijab. I couldn't think of a more poignant time to release this video.
The title is not indicative of the nature of the video at all, I deliberately avoided a "click bate" title as this is not work I created for viriality or gimmicks. As a matter of fact, this piece is as anti viral as they can be, the video is explicit and the subject matter is very sensitive.

+Suli Breaks Its sooo sad how people treat Muslims. People need to realise how much islam is about love and caring for your brother/sister. In fact it is so sad how people treat people who are 'different' and many times people don't even realise they are doing it.
+Lucky Dutchess it's sad you hate like that and I don't think anyone cares what you think just keep your opinion to your self
I have the right to my opinion and I'm not changing!!!! And I don't have hate I have love!!! I love my ppl (Americans) so much that I don't want anyone to hurt them!!! So now we have to play search and destroy and get rid of the threat
+Lucky Dutchess well there not Muslim's they claim to but they go against all the morals of Islam I'm 12 and Islam is the only thing that has guided me
Dude you are amazing! Inspiration is in you. You and Prince EA are the best at doing these videos.
i got yelled at for defending a muslim because it's not a bad religion. I don't regret sticking up for whats right even if everyones against me.
+Sogel CSGO Thank you. We appreciate you.
My utmost respect to you Suli. You are different from the rest on UA-cam, the rest of social media in fact. Your content gives us what we need, not what we want. People like you who put out these messages to the public change the world. Keep doing what you do brother, because one day you will get the recognition you deserve.
My opinion differs from your's: this is not a matter of needs and wants, but rather one of understanding, one of educating individuals to keep them from making assumptions and reserving judgement on people who may seem unfamiliar to us. We may have different color skin, different faith, different views, but every person strives towards the common goal of making themself and people in their circle happy. Too bad this isn't recognized worldwide, the world would be a much more free and happy place.
This guy has a illmatic album cover as his profile you sir are taking this poem serious
I love you!!
Dear Suli,
You have changed my life...
Thank you for speaking your mind and giving those people who are afraid to speak up, a voice.
you are amazing and SO good at what you do. I cried watching this at BufferFestival last night. Thank you for sharing your talents with the world and spreading powerful messages! :)
Suli. I heard this last night and came to find it! This is so amazing and dang I envy your passion and drive for your work! Thanks for being you!
+Kent Heckel Thank for having time and supporting me for being me!
Being you is the most important thing in this world, so I will never stop supporting. But I wont stop pushing and challenging your creativity to make you better either. So dont let up, keep pushing!
I've translated this in Thai. Thank you for your message.
I'm glad to spread your message to my country.
Thank so very very much. That means ALOT!!
Suli, I plan on using this in a dramatic reading (high school level forensics--Taylor Mali) as the ending to our international students day festival at my college. There are so many people there that could be moved by your words. I thank you for being the amazing artist that you are
What a piece of art!
Very powerful...wow...I"m speechless.
You can't blame a whole religion just because of a small minority. This video actually made me cry, so much respect for you and your work Suli. The fact that you can hear the passion and drive in your voice and you can clearly see that you're not doing this for attention is absolutely beautiful. I can honestly say that you are the main reason I started writing my own spoken word pieces and thank you so much for inspiring me. Stay blessed x
dont ever feel less significant because your different. YES. thats the line right there. were all individual. love who you are, thank you again suli, another powerful piece, incredible
This is truly moving! END HATE CRIME!
This video have a lot of emotions, passion and soul. The message is beautifully portrayed by the amazing words of Suli.
Your words always entice me. You gained my respect a long time ago and now it only grows stronger. Keep up what you're doing, I will always listen.
I 100% agree
Thank you for making this.
You don't learn this at school...this is the prove that "talent" exist.
Good work,very touching!
Wonderful brother, shared this with my followers as its a subject that needs addressed in its fullest. Love always man 👊🏼
I was speechless for a while, mouth agape actually! wow! may Allaah preserve you!
I hope we can say something!!
"don't ever feel less significant cause you're different... never look for beauty in the eyes of those who behold" this poem will ALWAYS hold a strong form in my heart.
Suli, you're such an inspiration to me. I only wish i had your talent, you can reach the hearts of so many people with your words and it's amazing. I'm currently trying to become a poet myself and hope to become as good as you one day. You're awesome Suli
Wow, a lump in my throat from beginning to end. I can only hope to be able to express myself as eloquently as you, I have so so much respect for you, and the fact that you can share this story in order to try and improve things for others is hugely inspirational xx
Thanks Ben.
Truly inspired.. This is an eye opener for all of us xx
Suli, this was a very great video and the message was great, we all need to change.
wow this was so sad i cried.great job my brother
This gave me shivers all over. I just walked out the mosque. Thank you Suli. Some people NEED to hear this):
Listening to this again after watching the documentary you just released... the intro to the piece - the voicemail - just reminded me of when you said 'I have failed her' in the doco. It felt like i was listening to a completely different piece. I guess just as you dont read a really good book one time, you dont just listen to a really good poem/spoken word one time... Thankyou. Will do my best to translate into Turkish inshaAllah.
the fact that your words connect so well that my mind that it sends shivers down my spine as you suli speak some amazing truth I do spoken word myself and about democracy and motivational poetry. I was so lucky I was there at the time when I seen a woman with a scarf getting attacked by 3 men for her purse and I thought that could've been my mum and I had a friend with me and I managed to get the guys to back off and drew enough attention that they moved away and I almost lost my life first encounter with a knife but what mattered to me was helping another life and standing up for the wrong committed at the time. when I turn around turns out the person I saved was my sister real wake up call
Love this. Love you. Love people. Enough said.
Alhamdulillah thanks for this brother
Wow! This is so deep. I kept listening over and over again.Sorry about your sister. My deepest condolence. She would be happy and proud you did this. May God console and comfort you.
"But then again, I repent with the end of this pain" So powerful!
I have to give a persuasive speech in 12 hours and i could not find something that motivated me to talk about or something that i have not presented before, but after listening to this video, i found something i feel motivated to talk about and persasive my classmates to be inform about hate crimes and i just wanted to thank you.
love it suli, such an inspiration for me to keep sharing my messages and thoughts.
Much respect Suli, It takes some of us a whole lifetime to see the world as you have. Keep up the great work, making the world a better place my friend.
Suli, thank you..
This joint left me speechless, you're inspirational my brother
Suli I love how you speak your mind its great to have someone now a days who is not afraid of what people may say your my role model 100%
This is something I was hoping you'd make since I started listening to your art. We don't do this for the attention. We don't hide our opinions because people want us to. We don't care if we're disliked for speaking up. We will speak the truth. Good on you brother, keep this energy coming :)
Suli why are you so good man....this is pure inspiration ...
Bro this poem. Damn hit me right in the heart.
suli work is like fine wine only gets better with time.
Suli you keep talking the truth the world hears you! Things need to change.
it touched my heart , may Allah reward you with jannah inshallah
This really got to me. I know first hand what it feels like to be racially abused because the school that I go to doesn't have many Muslims and I'm one of the only ones there. But the Jews in my school get racially abused, as do the Sikhs and Hindus. What I'm trying to say is that just stop racial abuse to anyone. Doesn't matter if you're Muslim or Jewish. We should all just get along
Love this suli
This is beautiful of you to do and very touching
I watched this with my Muslim homie and she says THANK YOU
Powerful art.
Thank u bro
I've seen it at the Buffer Festival this Sunday. I was kept on the edge of my seat. It's amazing. It really is.
I would also like to say I'm glad that I could see it and meet you. I admire your work.
Need more people like you in the world 🙌🏽
this is a beautiful message. You speak the truth. thank you for spreading this message. people do need to hear this and take it because if we want a better world we need to aim for love and equality. not hate
The words bought tears in my eyes
The world needs this kind of message
Why could anyone dislike this ?
From one artist to another - beautiful. I felt it.
How come I've never heard about him ?! This is sadly beautiful because this is truth. I love you for your words, and the way you love people. You are not full of hatred and bitterness. You are full of hope and compassion. Thank you ❤️✌🏽
Beautiful Suli...thank you for bringing that to life!
Just saw you perform at the Bufferfest gala - I hope all of Canada sees this after the election we just had. You owned the night tonight! Subbed and am now a fan. Congrats on bringing some truth to the youtube landscape!
+Truth Mashup Hopeful, one day they will! Please do keep spreading the word/video!
thank you for speaking up about this subject :)
very sorry to hear about your sister.hate crime is so evil.
Thank you so much for writing this and posting it. It really feels nice to have someone talk about my culture
I don't ever make comments on youtube, but I couldn't resist, this is dope man. Keep up the great work!
Such Passion Such Power Such Great Feelings. Suli You Are So Talented And I Absolutely Love The Way You Speak With Such Wisdom. Honestly The Feels I Am Left With. You're So Talented Honestly Keep It Up. You've Got A Ton Of Support Behind You. (:
I'm glad Suli has a good mind. Hoping this videos corrects other minds as well.
Suli, your words have inspired many. Keep the good words and real spit coming.
this is so deep and beautiful..you're such an inspiration to me Suli....peace!
Wow!! Just Wow!! 👌🏾
I applaud and respect all of your work. This piece especially speaks to me however, please continue to preach the truth of what you see around the world because much of the media is failing us and much of the population needs to gain perspective. Keep spitting your passions.
Wow, such heavy emotions pour from that and I applaud you for expressing it so grippingly. Its amazing.
May Allah reward you for spreading awareness
powerful emotive stuff there man
you should be well proud
This made every hair on my body stand up
I'm crying omg
Glad it touched you!
+Suli Breaks It's heart touching to see A woman go through the exact same thing I go through everyday
I've been subscribed to you since I was 16 but didn't know you were a Muslim until I typed my name into UA-cam search. Didn't expect to find something so sad and real :'(
This is so beautifully created, edited and designed. Honestly such a great message, this is such an impactful video.
Suli... can you pls stop being so fucking good at writing? i mean you hit me right in the soft spot everytime! love you- keep up the great work
Im glad I chose to subscribe to you before I realised you were muslim, so that it wouldnt be the main reason I chose to watch your videos. I subscribed because you can articulate the truth better than anyone ive come across so far and the things you write/talk about dont contradict my own beliefs and thought and even helped me gain some perspective. I wish you every success man, Im sorry about Anisah
I feel your art Lesedi Masokwane #South Africa Soweto I am touched
U just made me tear up man 😭😭😭😩😩 I hate this society;how people are being seduced and dragged by the media,fucking media...
All my respect to your sister good piece Suli keep up the good work!
This brought me to tears
This was moving, I am so happy you brought more awareness to this issue.
am happy for yu brotha,long live!! may be this world can be tranformed,,,
This is a very powerful piece brother, keep inspiring us all. Respect.
May Allah guide suli
Aameen

🙏🏾 this is too good, thank you
dis video has got me so emotional I love ur videos but dis one really touched me
Wow, it's funny how much words can mean... This is so inspirational, and relatable and honestly it's a work of art... Well done may Allah bless you.
Speechless. Thank you!
beautiful piece... two thumbs up, my brother!
This deserves way more views then it has !!!!!!
There it not much more i can say then amazing well done this gave me goosebumps
+Suli Breaks Followed Ben Browns link...Wow! So beautifully made! So horribly true! I don't understand the IGNORANCE of the human race! I was brought up to accept everyone for who they are. Not for what they are worth. But for what they value. What is their truth. It is the new generations that MUST teach the old that we ALL have souls. Blood. Bones. That when we colour in a picture with our crayons as children we don't just use one or two colours but an assortment. Because the world is FULL of colour. Maybe I've went off course a bit but u get what I mean. I just wish everyone did. 😔All I know, is when I'm teaching my now ten ur old daughter, I know I'll be teaching her the right way. To just be open-minded and accept EVERYONE and in turn hope she teaches others to be the same. BIG LUV SULI! I LOVE IT!!!👏👏👏👏👏😘
this guy deserves more than the views he get
Touching video, highlighting a major issue in society.
this is epic. you're by far my favorite MC.
You sir, you should be the president. I have so much respect you and how you speak what's real and what really matter. Respect
I love this poem sooo muchhh
Suli You have shown the world what we Muslims pray for what we believe in. The hijab is seen as a threat , but the truth is that it is worn to show less skin. I was truly inspired suli thank you for being a role model and not judging a book by its cover this is a true human someone who does not judge what they see but what they feel.
