ياعمري كلامها مره مؤثر حسبي الله على الحرب دمرت ناس 💔 ان شاء الله ترجع سوريا احسن من اول قريب
The part when she mentioned that it's forbidden to learn English in Syria is nonsense, kids in school start learning English along with French from first grade.
And this driving car, bicycle and horse thing is weird too, cuz in Syria women works and drive and contribute in the society just like men!
I don't know what picture of Syria she's trying to draw here?
Because there are a lot of idiots believe her story.
exactly I was like whaaaaaat ???
Wait she actually said that?
I haven't reached that part yet.
wow
I believe she meant, in her situation it was frowned up on. Not because of the country, but in the kind of traditional conservative family that she grew up in. She grew up with a family that would marry her off at age 14, and explain babies with beans in hand. They expected her to cook and clean and be a house wife. So my understanding is that if her husband, family, neighbors realized she was learning English they would look down on her for wasting her time with "frivolous things". Obviously, not all Syrian women grow up in that kind of oppressive environment.
I am a Turkish woman and my family worked hard to give me the best education possible, along with teaching me English. But there are also Turkish women who are married off too young, and were forced to stay uneducated. So I can picture the kind of environment she meant when she said "forbidden".
she is talking about saudia arabia
Good and real story
but When she mentioned its forbidden to learn english i facepalmed...
this was nonsence, my mother entered English language collage (أدب انجليزي).
how nice you are dear, do not worry we're standing with you
how did they survive? This is really amazing ♥👍👍👍👍 The other woman stole her purse!!!!!!! HOW RUDE
wow
TED should say that Asmaa is telling her personal story and she represents herself. There is much misinformation, misleading and mismedia. Please try to correct the explanatory message of this video to keep the credibility of your community
Samah Al Jundi-Pfaff she probably lived in a jihadist cotrolled area
Nice Asma
We suffered from discrimination in arab country more than the war in Syria
that was good.God Bless her and her family.
I can't believe the Sheeple who believe her broke english bullshit. In the "Camp" this "Broken English" Muslim is playing you... She was the first one to Persecute ANY Christian in the camp. "It's not safe for woman.." So much bullshit.. she'll walk out laughing her ass off.
For people asking about her "forbidden in my country to learn English" comment, a later interview indicates that she meant her husband forbade her from it, not that it is illegal in Syria to learn English.

One could argue that she should have said what she meant more clearly. But since English is not her first language, it is understandable that some things she says will not be worded perfectly.
More generally, I'm glad that she managed to escape Syria and get to freedom and relative safety in the US. I would like the US to become more welcoming of people like her, but unfortunately it looks like the opposite is happening under Trump.
B Gergley usually when people are caught with lies they try to justify it or make sense of it. She is no different.
She is lying because learning English in Syria begins in kindergarten and has nothing to do with her husband….
She not telling the truth when said you not allowed to learn english
Indeed, she doesnt say what was the real Problem or terror their( ASSAD regime)
Are you sure that learning English in Syria is Forbidden? Do you think that the American government no nothing about your country? She is very good actress; please be yourself.
Maan Taj Al-Deen maybe she lived in an area controlled by jihadists
Her story is full of nonsense and lies. As someone who lived in Jordan as refugee and also have the chance to work with refugees I can say for sure she’s laying about learning English, women not allowed to decided for themselves, and the way she entered Jordan and how she was received. People have to know it’s not up to any policeman in Jordan to allow Syrians in or not for two reasons, Jordanian government is welcoming the Syrians refugees, there’s a certain mechanism on the ground to receive refugees and moved them from Syria- Jordan borders to the refugees camp or inside the city of Amman within few hours of their arrival, beside leaving people on the borders without food or water is not true as many international organization working there would provided her and her children with food and water. Also she talking about paying bribes in order to be let in, personally I stayed in Jordan for over five years not once have I seen or heard a government employee or a policeman taken a bribe, unlike Syria where bribes is everywhere. I think she got confused about the two countries, or she is using too many stories (true or not) to make up her own.
learning English in the bathroom, seriously? her story is based on her personal perspective, not to say that she didn't suffer (mostly out of Syria as a refugee as she states), but lying in order to gain the audience's sympathy is just uuuuuh.
These dogs smile and tell a soft language stories but their hearts are filled with hate and pride.
هذه الكذابه تفوق مسيلمة الكذاب بالخيال
ما تركت شي الا و كذبت فيه
most problems are solved now in Syria, time to go home, cause that is the fate of a REFUGEE, get a temporary home until you can return to your country and FIX it. FIX YOUR OWN country, syria needs it more than america
greet marien Dude, there arent even that many syrian refugees in the States. You are right that refugees should return home and help building the country.
No, Terrorism still striking Syria along with USA and Russia and Dictatorship of Bashar
Other lie about the Jordan!!!!
It's wonderful in lie
She is lier
She say in Syria they don't allowed to learn English
So that big lie !!!!!
