Ever since I heard that Hamtramck, Michigan is America's ONLY Muslim-majority town, I knew that I had to visit (because I love Islam!!) And it turned out to be one of the most incredible experiences that I've had within my own country, the United States of America.
My friend @JessicaKobeissi took me around her stomping grounds to introduce me to the culture that she grew up in, and I was completely amazed. So many Lebanese, Iraqis, Yemenis, Bangladeshis, Somalis, Syrians (etc) all living together in this suburban Michigan town called Hamtramck, along with nearby Dearborn.
I went during the very first day of Ramadan - the holiest month in Islam - and I even participated in the fast myself. Watch until the end to see what is breaking the fast (or iftar) at Jessica's friend's house.
The moral of this story is that America is SO BIG and SO DIVERSE, and there are many micro-communities to be discovered. Would you like to see more stories about the different communities in the USA? Please comment below and let me know - your feedback is so valuable to me. Thank you, and Ramadan Kareem to all who celebrate ❤️

you haven't been to Tristan de Cunha or Pitcairn so you still have plenty countries to visit
Allah ho akbat thats how we start are azaan and it means that allah is one and there no sharik
How can I ask you to come to my hometown? Grace us with your presence😎
Don't call it a Muslim city, brother. When called a Muslim city, most Americans would think that Muslims occupied the city. The way Hindutva activists are persecuting Muslims in India today, it seems that India is under Muslim occupation. Being a Muslim is a crime in the world because most people think Muslims are terr0rists ... do you think so ?????
Im muslim convert i live in Serbia and belive me when i say it gets soooo depressevly lonely.. Here are only orthodox christians and in my city there is only one tiny mosque and ppl that come are muslims from turkey usually that doesnt speak serbian and english only turkish. So how i make myself to be less lonely is just to watch tese videos and pray to allah. But at the end not matter how lonely i am specually on ramandan or eid i know allah is allways with me alhamdulillah.
May God be with you always brother 🙏

U have no clue bro....😂

If I'm not mistaken, you didn't have to fast at midnight. You could eat up until right before dawn.
Ramadan is fasting from sunrise to sunset. AlhamdAllah ❤
This is the transphobic city that banned the progress pride flag, right?
timezones maybe
@@alxneblue sunrise in the U.S. doesn't start at 12 a.m. He probably started fasting at 12 a.m. sharp because it became the next day and he thought that's when he should do, but yeah he could have started fasting at like around 4 a.m.

@@marcusthegreat2944 they're not Christian
Living in a multi-cultural country is beautiful. I have mixed feelings 1) I love places like china town and places like Hamtramck for its different cultures 2) I wonder if these places exist because of racism?
Muslims abroad and here in America may not know this but they are dearly loved.
This video the vibes just made me cry , living here in the US by myself missing these table and ramadan vibes with family 🥹🖤🖤🖤
Such beautiful people and everyone is so pumped up and welcoming. MashaAllah! May Allah bless all of us.
This is an awesome video. The food looked amazing. I’m I really want to travel to Dearborn now. I am a non Muslim and just completed my second year of fasting during Ramadan. I am learning more about Islam and considering converting. Eid Mubarak to all Muslims. Mashallah.
Glad to hear that.. may Allah makes everything easy for you..

@@jambouh8575 thank you. I work with 2 Muslims who inspired me to take part in the fasting. I still have questions and things I want to learn before making this decision.

Man started to fast straight at 12 a.m 😭😭😭. He's sooo humble. Actually In Islam, we start our fast right nearly 10 mins before the start of Fajr prayer time
10 min ?😂 More like 10 seconds
I stop when i hear the prayer man 😂😂
salute to fallen warriors😂😂
@@user-bq9xr9ex7b you mean when you hear the first azaan. Not the iqamah azaan I hope 😂

People don’t realize just how culturally diverse Detroit and the metro area is. Middle eastern, polish, african, hispanic, Albanian, Irish, Ukrainians, Germans, swedish, etc. there’s literally a community of storefronts and homes for each culture and it’s amazing
I worked in Dearborn for about a year doing sales and it’s a wonderful area. Being raised Irish Catholic I can’t say I didn’t experience slight culture shock for the first couple weeks just feeling like an outsider in all spaces. But the best part is that the people are all friendly and will treat you like a guest whenever they can. I was fed at just about every single business I walked into, have made good friends with a few customers from way back that I chat with to this day, and learned alot about how beautiful Islam is, especially after being raised by a xenophobic father who desperately failed to brainwash his kids into being anti-muslim catholic extremists
Wow, that must have taken ALOT of courage from your part. May Allah bless you and your father and he may God take away the hatred andalice from his heart
Agree 💯 😊
Detroit is not that diverse it's like 70% black
Thank you very much

the battle at the checkout between u and Jessica over who's paying was so funny and cute. i'm Iranian and that resonates since it's a big part of our culture's etiquette too. i've been physically thrown back into my chair by Irani friends the moment i tried to grab the check 😂

So, I grew up just west of Dearborn. The large groups of Muslims in these areas started arriving in the late 70s, early 80s with Lebanese and Yemeni refugees and then Iraq, Kosovo, Palestine etc. I volunteered in high school and college teaching English as a Second Language. All of the people I worked with were wonderful, lovely women and families! In answer to Drew's question, there are large Jewish communities in Farmington, Farmington Hills and West Bloomfield. There is nothing to fear. These families are no different than all of the other immigrant groups that have arrived in the US in the last 200 years. They are good law-abiding people who want the same freedom to raise their children in peace and safety including the freedom to pursue their faith. Embrace the diversity and be open to the beautiful exchange of experiences, perspectives and all out fun learning something new can be!
Most of them are shia Muslims right?
This was a relief
@@Sharif_iraqi No they are predominately Sunni muslims but also some Shia muslims
@@harlowesadventuresinwonder1564 I see.
I asked that question because the largest mosque in usa is shia
@@Sharif_iraqi yes because that mosque is predominately attended by Lebanonese Muslims many of whom are Shia. But in Hamtramck and Dearborn there are also Iraqi, Palestinian, Yemeni and Bengali communities which are all Sunni and they make up a larger majority.
I'm a Muslim who's lived in Dearborn most my life, and it's truly a magical place during ramadan
dd
I’m not Muslim but am a Michigander (2 hours from Dearborn) and always found it cool how there’s a whole community of Muslims, of course there’s a lot of flaws in the US and mistreatment but I love that there can be places like that, and for many cultures
@@hunterq4202 the culture of beheading unbeliever, sex slavery, child marriage of Islam is so cool
@@cyanidehappiness4280 That’s not the culture of Muslims, especially not ones in the US. That’s the fundamentalist and ultra conservatives that hold power in some Muslim countries, but there’s many different sects of Islam with varying beliefs and vast majority in the US
Lets not forget the primary victim of Islamic extremists
Also in the US, the vast majority of terrorist attacks the last decade have been by far right Christians or not motivated by religion but still culturally Christian, ironically, it is also the far right Muslims who do brutal acts, and their victims are more moderate of Muslims.
Also, child marriage is technically legal in nearly every US state. Look up “child marriages in US” and you’ll see many thousands happen, it’s primarily a thing in rural ultra Christian communities, though there’s been some Muslims who took advantage of as well the vast majority is more rural Christian type.
But again; you can’t just paint all Muslims as believers in something, why do you think there’s sectarian violence? It’s because of how differently many believe.
Many Muslims in the US also assimilate while still holding onto Muslim values, within a generation or two most who immigrated from wherever will integrate even more.
@@hunterq4202 Muhammad is the most perfect example to follow for them.
I don't deny there are many decent muslims, who don't really follow the teaching of Islam written in Quran.
Unlike Christianity which afaik never support child marriage, sex slavery, beheading, etc.
Islam do
wow the food looks amazing, and the people i love even more. no idea this kind of town was in the US , very cool
You are just phenomenal
so interesting to see this inside the U.S. I never would have thought there was a muslim-majority community in the states! please keep traveling to these interesting communities in the states it is so interesting to see as an American
Unfortunately
@@StuckInOhio10 its deeply disheartening. How many christian majority areas are there in Iran?
You Should be happy for this, at least you can know the real Islam from those Americans muslims not from the fake news of your media, 💯👍🏻
Real islam isn't much different from what's depicted by almost every western nation's media... Most American Muslims are assimilated into western culture, they've essentially went through an unofficial reformation, something Islam desperately needs. Literally read yesterday about a bomb that exploded in a mosque in Afghanistan, killing 10 and wounding 12 others. And it was planted by other Muslims... so we can drop the whole "islam is a peaceful but misunderstood religion" charade💀 and let's not act like left-leaning American news organizations haven't been running cover for islam by minimizing coverage of Islamic terrorist attacks for the last 5-10 years.
Muslims as a minority in a country welcomes Jews people and spread happiness and brotherhood among different religions. but any of the Muslim majority country doesn't even recognise Israel. Do you know why this is
I’m in Istanbul now and just had a big cultural experience last night when the local muslims invited me to break fast with them
Also had no idea about this place, can’t believe it’s USA!

Love the video Drew. Shout out to the ones breaking their fast alone. There are so many you can't even imagine. For every happy and vibrant families like these there are ones who are cold, destitute and still hungry where Fasting isn't for 30 days or for a certain number of hours but a way of life no choice of their own. Fasting brings us closer to those who don't have much and makes us more grateful for things we do have. Fasting softens our hearts and encourages us to be more generous and more charitable. EID MUBARAK everyone.
Peace Drew . Thank you for such an inspiring video . Keep up the great work.

your respect for islam even as a jew is highly admirable - but i just wanted to say that fasting actually starts sometime before sunrise with the Fajr call to prayer. still, really enjoyed the video and i am still surprised and glad to find out that places like hambramck exist

*15 Astonishing facts About Islam That you Really don't know !*
*1)* *“Islam” means “surrender” or “submission”* . “Salam” (which means “peace”) is the root word of “Islam”. In a religious context the word “Islam” means “the surrendering of one’s will (without compulsion) to the true will of God in an effort to achieve peace”.
*2)* *“Muslim” means “anyone or anything that surrenders itself to the true will of God”.* By this definition, everything in nature (trees, animals, planets, etc.) are “muslims” because they are in a state of surrender to God’s will. In other words, they are fulfilling the purpose for which God created them.
*3)* *Islam is not a new religion or cult.* It is a universal way of life and civilization. *Again, Islam is not a new religion,* rather it is the same message preached by all earlier prophets such as Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus (peace be upon them all). But God’s final message to mankind was revealed to the last prophet, Muhammad (peace be upon him), as a revival of lost teachings of previous prophets and as a reconfirmation of the eternal message. Studies show that between 1.5 and 1.8 billion people in the world identify their religion as Islam. Along with Judaism and Christianity it traces its roots through Prophet Abraham and back to the first humans Adam and Eve.
*4)* *There are five pillars of practice in Islam.* These practices must be undertaken with the best of effort in order to be considered a true Muslim: A) Declaration of faith: A statement proclaiming the belief in One God and that Muhammad is a prophet of God. To become Muslim a person simply recites this statement publicly, and in Arabic. B) Formal prayer five times a day. C) Poor-due tax: 2.5% of one’s excess wealth given to the needy once a year. D) Fasting during the daylight hours in the month of Ramadan. E) Pilgrimage to Mecca at least once, if physically and financially able.
*5)* *There are six articles of faith in Islam.* These are the basic beliefs that one must have in order to be considered a true Muslim. They are belief in: A) the One God. B) all of the true prophets of God. C) the original scriptures revealed to Moses, David, Jesus and Muhammad. D) the angels. E) the Day of Judgment and the Hereafter. F) destiny.
*6)* *Muslims believe in the one Creator of the Universe, referring to Him as “Allah”* which is the Arabic word for “God”. Muslims worldwide, even English-speaking Muslims, frequently use the Arabic word “Allah” because Arabic is the language of the Qur’an. But Allah is no different than the God of Abraham, Moses and Jesus. The Creator is the Creator regardless of what people call Him. In the English language He is most commonly referred to as “God”. Yet Jesus spoke a different language, referring to God as “Eloi” in Mark 15:34 of the New Testament. Are “God” and “Eloi” different gods? Many Hispanics call God “Dios” and many French say “Dieu”. It would logically follow then that people who refer to God as “Allah” in the Arabic language are referring to the very same God. In fact, many Arab Jews and Arab Christians call God “Allah”. And the word “Allah” is written in Arabic script on the walls of many Arab churches and on the pages of Arabic Bibles. So while the understanding of God may differ between faith groups, the various names used to describe Him does not change the fact that the one Creator of the Universe is the God of all people.
This is *Allah* Almighty, The Creator, the one and only true God. He is my God, our God:
*"Allah - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of [all] existence. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them, and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. His Kursi (Throne) extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not. And He is the Most High, the Most Great."*
(Quran 2:255)
*{Say, “He is Allah, the One. Allah, to Whom the creatures turn for their needs. He begets not, nor was He begotten, and there is none like Him.” }*
(Quran, 112:1-4)
Allah Almighty says in the Quran:
*"Say, "O My servants who have transgressed against themselves [by sinning], do not despair of the mercy of Allah . Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful."*
[Quran 39:53]
*7)* *The Islamic concept of God* is that He is loving, merciful and compassionate. Islam also teaches that He is all-knowing and the perfect judge of affairs, and will punish (or forgive) accordingly. However, Allah once said to Muhammad, “My mercy prevails over my wrath”. So Islam teaches a balance between fear and hope, protecting one from both complacency and despair.
*8)* *Muslims believe that God has revealed 99 of His names, or attributes, in the Qur’an.* It is through these names that one can come to know the Creator. A few of these names are the All-Merciful, the All-Knower, the Protector, the Provider, the Near, the First, the Last, the Hidden and the Source of All Peace.
*9)* *The Christian concept of “vicarious atonement” (the idea that Jesus died for the sins of humanity) is alien to the Islamic concept of personal responsibility.* Islam teaches that on the Day of Judgment every person will be resurrected and will be accountable to God for their every word and deed. Consequently, a practicing Muslim is always striving to be righteous while hoping and praying for God’s acceptance and grace.
*10)* *Muslims believe in all of the true prophets* that preceded Muhammad, from Adam to Jesus. Muslims believe they brought the same message of voluntarily surrendering to God’s will (islam, in a generic sense) to different peoples at different times. Muslims also believe they were “muslims” (again, in a generic sense) since they followed God’s true guidance and surrendered their will to Him.
*11)* *Muslims neither worship Muhammad nor pray through him.* Muslims worship the Unseen, Omniscient Creator, Allah.
*12)* *Muslims accept the original unaltered Torah (as revealed to Moses) and the original unaltered Bible (as revealed to Jesus)* since they were revealed by God. But none of these scriptures exist today in their original form or in their entirety. Therefore, Muslims follow the subsequent, final and preserved revelation of God, the Qur’an.
*13)* *The Qur’an was not authored by Muhammad.* It was authored by God, revealed to Muhammad (through angel Gabriel) and written into physical form by his companions.
*14)* *The original Arabic text of the Qur’an contains no flaws or contradictions* and has not been altered since its revelation.
*15)* *Actual 7th century Qur’ans, complete and intact,* are on display in museums in Turkey and other places around the world.

🔹️ *Islam and Racism*
Islam with its universal concept of brotherhood rejects all artificial and man-made marks of distinction.
Allah Almighty says in the noble Quran:
"O mankind, indeed We (Allah) have created you from male and female and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another. Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you. Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Acquainted."
*(Quran 49:13)*
No one can claim any superiority over the other based on race, color, language or wealth and this is emphasized in the last sermon of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) showing high regard of humanity irrespective of color or race:
"“All mankind is from Adam and Eve, an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a white has no superiority over a black nor does a black have any superiority over a white except by piety and good action.”
🔹️ *How to convert (revert) to Islam*
Basically to become a Muslim is very simple.. you need to say the decleration of faith oraly while you believe in it by heart with a firm conviction and unshakeable faith.
*The decleration of Faith in Islam (The Shahada)*
The Shahada (in Arabic) can be declared as follows :
*“ASH-HADU ANLA ELAHA ILLA-ALLAH WA ASH-HADU ANNA MOHAMMADAN RASUL-ALLAH”*
The English translation is :
*“I bear witness that there is no deity (none truly to be worshipped) but, Allah, and I bear witness that Mohammad is the messenger of Allah.”*
However, it would not be sufficient for anyone to only utter this testimony oraly either in private or in public; but rather, he should believe in it by heart with a firm conviction and unshakeable faith. If one is truly sincere and complies with the teachings of Islam in all his life, he will find himself a new born person.

i’ve lived in michigan for 30 years now and my mom was raised here and i’m from indiana but love the diversity of Detroit and love the diverse food choices that are available here 😊
I love seeing in all these videos how important breaking bread is for all people of all religions/cultures. I loved what the coffee shop owner said about his desire to build a bridge between cultures, that was honestly so beautiful. I want to try Yemeni coffee so badly now! Michigan is such an awesome state and I loved hearing the Michigan accent!
I live in Michigan and I love it. The Detroit River Walk has no equal anywhere. Detroit is a beautiful place to live.
As a christian, growing up i had sooo many muslim friends and i got lucky enough to learn and kind of (respectfully) partake in their traditions and religion and it has taught me so so much. I love all you guys🫀 amongst the most disciplined people I've met!
Ramadan Mubarak my brothers and sisters💌
we love you back cousin!!
Yo cousin, we love you either! You stay safe and stay healthy out there eh?
@@doctordick6172 you as well and blessings to your family :)
Respect for you bro may Allah guide you
@@retrogamer2841 thank u bro
Dude you're breaking down a lot of barriers. All some of us know about Muslim majority areas of Michigan is from what we hear on the news, a snippet about what a Muslim politician is doing or voting for, but seeing the three sisters is like seeing my sisters. It really shows that we have a lot more in common than what separates us. Good video!

I am so glad you were able to give us a closer look at Hamtramck, I've lived near it forever and never knew this much!

You are awesome....wish you experience the essence of Ramadaan which is elevating your spirituality
Mashallah very nice video Drew!
I m muslim in Borneo Malaysia. During idul fitri celebration which is after ramadan we do open house every year. Most houses do. The best part is 70% of our guests non Muslim. We are very proud and honored visited by our non Muslim friends and our extended family which is non Muslim. During ramadan there is special bazaar selling food for iftar usually held near a Church compound. The church open it's gate for Muslims to park theirs car.
One more thing if Christians do events in vicinity of mosque they would stop for five minutes respecting adhan if they heard it. So much respect and religious tolerance here. Salam to all.
You're in Miri? Heard the mosque and the church literally next to each other there
@@hydro1410 i m in sabah. Many places here where mosque and Church located side by side too
@@hydro1410 basically in sabah and sarawak, you can see church and mosque side by side. in my town which is Tawau, Sabah you literally can see our mosque facing the church and it's really cool to this
which is dominant islamic sect there ?
@@muhammadkadhaab we are sunni imam shafie. However there is strong elements of Abdul Kadir Jailani's teaching among the older generation which we called tariqat. According to them islam first brought by Abdul Kadir Jailani to Borneo which is from Iraq. I doubt about this fact.
Thank you for rdoing a video here, it makes my heart
so happy to see it.
Same it was heartwarming
I know a Muslim friend, he’s also Indonesian, and during Ramadan we walked around The Hague in the Netherlands, but he never drank any water until the sun sets. He even claimed he can hold his thirst while in Morocco during the same period
it's extremely hot in here my friend some days you can't even breathe
@@TraillerNews2019 oh, sorry. I’ve never been to the US before
4 years fasting in The Netherlands from 2003 to 2007 during my study and it was in the winter, so a lot less difficult than fasting in Indo.
its for the showing love to our ALMiGHTY ALLAH. and when we think about it we able to do it. although now a days it’s proven by doctors that fasting is good for health. Nothing is forced in islam if its risk for your health its not necessary to do it. Islam gives you all your affordable option with some good rules.

I loved this video. Thanks for share so much cool info.
I love Muslim traditions as well. Never been to the Middle East but I plan to. I'm from Texas, maybe in the future you should come down to the Rio Grande Valley and explore here. We have a majority Hispanic culture from everywhere. You should check it out.
All of the American Southwest was originally part of Mexico so from the very beginning they had amazing Hispanic cultures! And of course now the Anglo, Hispanic and Indigenous cultures together are amazing!
I invite you to read the Quran
Love Mexican food 😋
Fellow Texan??
@@SolidaridadMundialConCuba 👍
You should come to Columbus, Ohio. We have the largest Bhutanese-Nepali and 2nd largest Somali population so you know we have great food. The Midwest atmosphere and hospitality welcomes you.
Your videos are amazing and super educational! I love it!
{Please make a full video about the AMISH. Would love to learn more about them . }
God bless you Drew Binsky what a beautiful human being you are.I do love your amazing videos.Stay safe
I live in a place very close to a Jewish community and I can’t believe how muslims and jews are very similar in hospitality, tradition, respect to others! I ask how and why those communities politically falling to opposite end of spectrum! Drew you are doing an amazing job by breaking mental barriers!

Well we normal citizens pay the price of our governments who spread fear and hate against Muslims Jews and, whoever. if governments and politicians go find different jobs and let us all live peacfully TOGETHER. but basically that is a dream.

Agreed my friend. A Jew is allowed to pray in a mosque but not a church
@@danielyonas9928 actually, Islam & Judaism are more similar.

JESUS KNOCKS ON YOUR HEART AND LONGS FOR YOU TO ANSWER! HE DOESN'T WANT TO SEE ANYONE PERISH INTO HELL. GOD LOVES YOU SO HE GIVES YOU FREE WILL AND A CHOICE TO ACCEPT HIM OR REJECT HIM. TO LOVE HIM OR TO LOVE SIN/THIS WORLD. CALL UPON JESUS & ASK HIM TO FORGIVE YOUR SINS! SURRENDER YOUR WILL & YOUR LIFE TO HIM & HE WILL GIVE YOU ETERNAL LIFE IN HEAVEN! PICTURE YOUR BEST DAY ON EARTH TIMES A BILLION FOR ETERNITY, THAT'S HEAVEN! NOW PICTURE YOUR WORST DAY ON EARTH TIMES A BILLION FOR ETERNITY, THAT'S HELL! HE WILL GIVE YOU WHAT YOU WANT SO IF YOU REJECT HIM YOU WILL BE SEPARATED FROM HIM & HIS BLESSINGS (LOVE, PEACE, JOY, HOPE, REST, ETC). IN HELL YOU WILL BE ALONE WITHOUT GOD OR PEOPLE... YOU WILL BE HOPELESS, IN DESPAIR & AGONY FOREVER!
GOD'S STANDARD FOR HEAVEN IS PERFECTION AND ONLY JESUS (THE SON OF GOD/GOD IN THE FLESH) LIVED THAT PERFECT LIFE! HE LAID DOWN HIS LIFE & TOOK THE WRATH OF THE FATHER ON THE CROSS FOR YOUR SINS! GOD IS JUST SO HE MUST PUNISH SIN & HE IS HOLY SO NO SIN CAN ENTER HIS KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. IF YOU ARE IN CHRIST ON JUDGEMENT DAY GOD WILL SEE YOU AS HIS PERFECT SON (SINLESS SINCE YOUR SINS ARE COVERED BY JESUS' OFFERING). YOU CAN ALSO CHOOSE TO REJECT JESUS' GIFT/SACRIFICE & PAY FOR YOUR OWN SIN WITH DEATH (HELL) BUT THAT SEEMS PRETTY FOOLISH! GOD SEES & HEARS EVERYTHING YOU HAVE SAID & DONE. YOU WONT WIN AN ARGUMENT WITH HIM & YOU CANT DEFEND ANY OF YOUR SINS TO HIM. YOU'RE NOT A GOOD PERSON, I'M NOT A GOOD PERSON... ONLY GOD IS GOOD! WE'RE ALL GUILTY WITHOUT ACCEPTING JESUS' SACRIFICE FOR OUR SINS!
MUHAMMAD DIDN'T DIE FOR YOUR SINS, BUDDHA DIDN'T DIE FOR YOUR SINS, NO PASTOR/NO PRIEST/NO SAINT/NO ANCESTOR DIED FOR YOUR SINS, MARY DIDN'T, THE POPE DIDN'T EITHER, NO IDOLS OR FALSE gods DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO MUSICIAN OR CELEBRITY DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO INFLUENCER OR CZcams STAR DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO SCIENTIST OR POLITICIAN DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO ATHLETE OR ACTOR DIED FOR YOUR SINS! STOP IDOLIZING & WORSHIPING THESE PEOPLE!
JESUS CHRIST ALONE DIED FOR YOUR SINS & WAS RESURRECTED FROM THE GRAVE! HE IS ALIVE & COMING BACK VERY SOON WITH JUDGEMENT (THESE ARE END TIMES)! PREPARE YOURSELVES, TURN FROM SIN & RUN TO JESUS! HE KNOWS YOUR PAIN & TROUBLES, HE WANTS TO HEAL & RESTORE YOU! TALK TO HIM LIKE A BEST FRIEND! ASK HIM TO REVEAL HIMSELF TO YOU & HELP YOU TO BELIEVE IF YOU DOUBT! DON'T WAIT TO CRY OUT! NO ONE IS PROMISED TOMORROW! HE LONGS FOR YOU TO INVITE HIM IN, HE LOVES YOU MORE THAN ANY PERSON EVER COULD, HE CREATED YOU!

Its so interesting to see how Ramadan feels like. I never been to an Eid party before. I think its a great dinner to have with everybody enjoying and having a great time!
Just gate crash at one hosted by the Muslims you know! I'm sure you'd be welcomed!!!
Edit : you may even gate crash one by the people you don't know. Just tell them you're interested in Islam. Best case scenario : you eat a nice meal and have a good time socializing and getting to know about the Muslim culture. At the very least, you'll walk away after having a great dinner. I see no loss. 😏

If you want to celebrate Ramadan and Eid there is nothing better than celebrating it in Cairo Egypt and Egypt welcomes you at any time and the Egyptians are very friendly
What I love is that you're a Jew who fasts with Muslims for the experience, and I really respect anyone's point of view if he doesn't want to hurt others. Can't we all humans live and have beautiful experiences without the ambitions of some politicians? Can we do it some day? and also I am from Iraq
Islam and Judaism have much more in common then people like to admit. It baffles me as someone who doesn't have a religious belief on why people who share so much history and beliefs have such a hard time getting along. It's a bit sad honestly.

I was living at the Buddhist temple (Detroit Zen Center) when the mayor came to visit asking for permission from other religious officials for the call to prayer to sound. My teacher said he was fine with it immediately. I knew you were talking about Hamtramack before watching the video. It's amazing to watch something online that you were there for.
such a beautiful display of crossing culture and getting to experiencing it with people who have open minds and hearts
I loved this video! I live pretty close to Hamtramck, so I kinda grew up in the city. You should check out the "Banglatown" part of Hamtramck, which has a HUGE majority of people from Bangladesh (Pretty much 50% Muslim and 50% Hindu). I appreciate you coming to my home state! Stay safe on your next adventures Drew! Also, Happy Eid-Al-Fitr to all the Muslims out there who worked so hard keeping the fast for Ramadan every day! Stay safe everybody!
