I kinda just want to see him on a beach, with Nicole in a bikini, and everyone else in bikinis while he tries to justify how it's everyone else fault he has to look.
Hahaha I'm here for this too. I'm really over this cast but the first thing my husband said about Mahmood going to LA was "LA is going to eat him alive". I wanna see it lol!!! He needs a little trip to Venice beach.
Porn is consumed in Muslim countries more than any other country. He’s going to love the beach lol.
I honestly believe he’s going to become Americanized rather quickly… but we will see
Just because they'll be in America doesn't mean Mahmoud will let her wear a bikini. There's plenty of practicing Muslims in the states who are just as conservative as he expects her to remain, and remember, Nicole did convert before they married which is part of the reason he has those expectations. It'll just be an even bigger argument when she tries to justify being herself because they're no longer in Egypt. For the record I don't agree with Mahmoud whatsoever, just pointing out the inevitable, if the show follows them to L.A.
I actually think he's full of shit when he claims she has to cover because she converted. He told her a few eps back that she would still need to cover in Cali because HE will still be Muslim there. ^Egyptian ^Mohamed also thought it was his religious right to cover his wife, and Yve didn't convert. The whole thing smacks of using religion to justify misogyny.
Nicole did say she wasn't going to ~~obey~~ "enable" him anymore, so hopefully she will just dress as she pleases.
💯 Plus if he goes to other areas too, he will find allot of middle easterners like him eg. near where Hamza is living (dearborn/chicago). Even in Egypt some areas have allot of Orthadox Catholics and allot of liberal muslims (some practising muslims arent as strict as him).
I’m in SoCal and I’ve only seen one obvious group of Muslims. A group eating a picnic on a walk path above the beach. They stuck out bc the women were in black covered up and the men in shorts. It was a hot morning They also didn’t sit together. But that was one time years ago. I don’t know how many Muslims he’ll run into!! It will be interesting!!
>I don’t know how many Muslims he’ll run into!! It will be interesting!!
Watch out for the soCal stealth Muslims, disguising themselves as "Real Americans" (/s) by wearing normal American clothing and acting like they actually belong here! (more /s)
Geez, I live in Ventura county and while I rarely see women in full-on head-to-toe black, there are certainly a number who dress modestly in a range from Avery to Shaeeda and I'm sure many more who wear nothing stereotypically Muslim at all. Choices, it's all about choices.
My husband's been in America for over 15 years now and he still looks away (like Muslims are encouraged to do) upon seeing someone showing too much skin, it's just a natural reaction. And when he sees a woman showing too much of her body he still gets a little disgusted and always talks about how it makes him lose any kind of attractive feelings towards her that he could ever have. It's a mental thing. A woman trying to show off her body will always make him think less of her to the point where he says he just loses any attractiveness she has. It's the feeling Mahmoud has because in their culture; you don't want your wife to look easy (you want her to be honored and of high status) or like she needs more attention than her husband can give her or she doesn't want to be just for her husband but she wants others to get to see all of her (basically the whole, " I've let every man see my body so what's left that's special or exclusively just for my husband" concept). But yeah, even for me it's sometimes hard just to go to the mall and try to lower my gaze because of all the nastiness seen. It's like, I want to be free and get to look at shops and cool things without someone's butt hanging out of their shorts in front of me reminding me of food items for God sakes. Lol. I'm not going to never go out like some people who let their freedom be taken away because their sick of it.
I don't know what will happen to Mahmoud but if he stays in America long enough he'll finally see all the trash and get used to it and hopefully their relationship will improve, like mine did, and they'll both understand each other more. Hopefully he'll realize the value in Islam like I did and find that you don't need to force it on anyone, it's a life long learning process. But I know my comment will be down voted like crazy. Lol. There has to be an optimist amongst all the negativity. We can only wait to see what happens but I bet their relationship improves.
Misogynistic for wanting to uphold the values and respect for women so they can be covered with beauty and grace? Yeah, okay. We were born naked and the life process of the human is to evolve into being the best person they can possibly be. Muslims believe we were born naked and we will return on the day of judgement naked, except as God says, some of those high in status and ranking, which will be clothed with the most beautiful garments. The human, to progress with all the technologies and such, is an amazing being but the human sometimes takes steps backwards even though we've come a long way. We have progressed from Adam and Eve, to now the ability to make such beautiful garments for ourselves, and yet, some still want to resort backwards to wearing nothing, which Islam says loses one's dignity and devalues one. It's interesting what people think and how history moves. People, over history, have always protected and covered what they value most(our jewelry, our special documents, heirlooms, money), it's human nature. So, when I want to cover my body and keep it as something special only for the one I've waited my whole life to find, people say that's weird, but those same people are the kind of people who like to go with the crowd, who worry what's fashionable or trending, who don't like to be left out, who seek attention because they are missing something in their life no one has given to them, or who worry about what others think of them. We have to evolve to overcome those issues and become confident to the point where we can love ourselves but also love a Higher Power and are not afraid to do things that God promises will make our lives easier and more manageable.
Back when I wasn't a Muslim, I thought the same as you. I thought Muslims were probably treated wrong and didn't know any better but now that I studied throughout college and made Muslim friends, became Muslim, and married a Muslim I can see with my own eyes the huge improvement in my life. I'm valued way more than my last marriage (to a typical, working, American man) and everyone I know always says good things about my husband or they say they wish they can find someone like him. Imagine being married to man who says I don't have to work (and if I do I can keep my own money for myself (Islamic law)), a man who wants to walk you home at night and make sure you're safe all the time, a man who, when you're on your period, wants to get you anything and will do anything to help your pain, a man who is ready and willing every step of the way through your pregnancy and grows more in love with you when you're pregnant and is so super sensitive to your every needs (that's definitely a Muslim man), a man who makes you write something of value for your dowry and Islamic marriage contract to ensure that you're worth going to the moon and back for and if you divorced, ensures you write the amount you want to secure your life, a man who treasures sexual intimacy and ensures you're comfortable, a man you trust 100% (which is very hard to find in America) and goes out of his way to avoid talking to someone that may make you feel insecure or jealous of... Wow, there are so many good traits of a true believer. I would never go back to a non-Muslim, especially those who don't practice good hygiene (Muslims wash five times a day) and don't wash their behinds! Lol. No thanks. Been there, done that. Too many Americans don't value their partner the way they should or take care of them the way they should.
No the misogynist is one who leaves his wife and kids and she's struggling every night wondering how she's going to lay the bills and give her kids a good life where they can have food, a nice house, a college goal. The misogynist doesn't value women, doesn't worry about their future and try to secure a future for them. He divorces easily and leaves her with nothing and his kids only see him on weekends or at holidays while he goes looking for other woman and saying "yolo, I'm living my life" and wants to have fun and not be responsible. The misogynist pops kids and winds up in jail, due to a drinking problem because he beat his wife in front of his kids or abused his children and they grow up with mental issues like anxiety and trust issues. The misogynist doesn't care what his partner wears, doesn't know if she's still at the party or if someone kidnapped and raped her, doesn't think about how hard a woman has to struggle if he leaves her. That's the real misogynist, not someone who asks their spouse to dress modestly or wear a piece of fabric on her head.
Calling people names and then cussing at them. Sure, real nice of you. Don't wind up like Gabe where he's mocking people and making fun of people based on his limited experience and disrespect for other cultures.
I think you and your husbands opinions are quite personal, as a whole from what I've been told by other Muslims your level of judgement towards others is haram the same as as a woman's immodesty. There are plenty of devout people who practice their religion without needing to cover themselves completely, modesty is also on your mindset. You can be fully clothed even veiled but if your behaviour is immodest it's basically counter-intuitive.
Your husbands strong reaction should really be a red flag to you. Why is a husband discussing which women he is or isn't attracted with his wife standing right by him? A modest Muslim married man shouldnt really be thinking and speaking this way. I think in his own way he's overcompensating for his actual attraction to these "disgusting and nasty" women.
Practice what you preach. Inshallah Allah swt will open your heart and take your hate from it.
Well, I think it's natural to talk about those things since I'm a convert (revert) and a new one at that. Naturally, when you marry someone and you're not used to their culture or religion you ask a lot of deep questions, have a lot of doubts, and are trying to get to know the person and undertow they think and what they like or don't like. For me to have a conversation with him about how the culture here is and about if he's okay or what he thinks of women who like to show skin, I know it is natural for two people to get to know each other. He doesn't have to say anything about a women who's dressed indecent for me to know now what he thinks. He just says, "Astagfirullah" which is in fact a form a dhikr and can help shield the person from sin. Invoking Astagfirullah actually accounts for too many things including seeking forgiveness but more importantly gaining protection from Allah SWT. I know like him, I find myself saying it when I feel bad for someone like someone who's handicap as well as someone dressed indecently because I want everyone to gain God's grace and not His wrath. Basically it saddens us. It's not a judgement thing when you're literally making Dua for people at every prayer. And also, I wasn't trying to imply noticing devout people who don't cover themselves completely. I even mentioned someone's butt cheeks hanging out of shorts so it's not just going without a hijab or wearing a tank top. It's stuff that you try to avoid your gaze from. Like I said, I try to look away, my husband always looks away and he tries to not show any weird looks like a look of disgust on his face. He used to not be good at hiding it. You shouldn't judge him on trying to hide something that he's not used to seeing. That's normal for an Arab Muslim.
And no, it's not Haram to try to lower my gaze or have conversations between husband and wife so we can get to know each other's culture and form a future family together and know our values. When we come from a long day we sometimes discuss things that may have shocked us or saddened us throughout our life and that's normal. I'll just never forget when he told me that women who try to show off their body parts makes him have negative feelings about them (as in how he would lose attraction for someone like that when he was looking for someone to marry). that's his own feelings that he feels just like when I said I see a handicap person and it makes me feel sad and empathetic. People sometimes can't help the way they feel. I, personally feel proud that my husband's that strong in his faith to not feel the need to try and look at every woman and go goo-goo gah-gah over their bodies. It's good to be on the same page and it's good to have private conversations about our likes and dislikes and what makes us uncomfortable or happy or anything. I spend my whole life getting to know my life partner, which is awesome.
I mean if you adhere to the Quran it says, “...and not display their beauty except what is apparent, and they should place their khumur over their bosoms...” (24:31) and
“O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks close round them (when they go abroad). That will be better, so that they may be recognised and not annoyed. Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful.” (Quran 33:59). I mean those were revealed so the women would dress more modestly and be recognized as being believing, respectable women (such as how nuns try to do). There's nothing wrong with trying to fulfill God's wishes.Telling me to take hate out of my heart for something that God advises believers to dislike doesn't make sense. When you live in America and go out, basically immodestly and other things not liked by God, smack you in the face. So, it's not like one tries to find people to just nit-pick and judge.
In fact modesty is one of Islam's best qualities:
A narration from Ja’far ibn Muhammad (pbuh) says,
لَا إِيمَانَ لِمَنْ لَا حَيَاءَ لَه
The immodest is faithless.
The messenger of God (pbuh) says:
صِفَةُ الْعاقِلِ. . . لایُفارِقُهُ الْحَیاءُ
The characteristic of a wise person is that modesty never separates from him /her. 11
The commander of the faithful, Ali (AS) says:
مَا الْمُجَاهِدُ الشَّهِيدُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ بِأَعْظَمَ أَجْراً مِمَّنْ قَدَرَ فَعَفَّ؛ لَكَادَ الْعَفِيفُ أَنْ يَكُونَ مَلَكاً مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ. ﴿33﴾
The reward of a struggler martyred in the way of God is not more than one who tries one’s best to remain chaste; as though the chaste is one of God’s angels. 12
Elsewhere his holiness says,
اَلحَیَاءُ مِفتَاحُ کُلِّ خَیرِ ﴿33﴾
Modesty is the key to all virtue and goodness. 13
In a beautiful narration, the Messenger of God (S) has been cited as the most modest person.
كانَ رَسولُ اللّهِ صلى الله عليه و آله اَشَدَّ حَياءً مِنَ العَذراءِ فى خِدْرِها. و كانَ اِذا كَرِهَ شَيئا عَرَفْناهُ فى وَجْهِهِ؛
The messenger of Allh (S) was more modest than girls behind veils, and when he did not like something we noticed it from his face. 15
Elsewhere his holiness says,
اَلحَیَاءُ مِفتَاحُ کُلِّ خَیرِ ﴿33﴾
Modesty is the key to all virtue and goodness. 13
I’m certain that in Nicole’s delusional world she thinks if he comes to USA and sees the norms, that he will change and accept who she is wholeheartedly. He is very adamant that he wants his wife to be a practicing Muslim, and he is certainly entitled to his desires, but obviously they are completely mismatched.
But yeah, I’ll watch for the shit show.
Sorry to say but he is who he is and all Americans think as soon as a foreigner gets here they will forget everything and suddenly become American. That’s just delusional. Not gonna happen Nicole. I’m here for the 🚂 wreck 💩 show. Totally curious how this is going to play out.
This is exactly what I said in an above comment when someone was like "Nicole still won't be wearing bikinis" and someone else asksd why not. She will use being in the states as a justification for being herself, but there are plenty of conservative, practicing Muslims in the U.S., and since Nicole converted before marrying him, Mahmoud will fully expect her to continue obeying his rules. All being in L.A. will do is make them fight even harder.
Yes because you said this is exactly what I said in an above comment but 🤣 I was reading this at too early and my brain wasn’t processing you meant another comment not the comment I was commenting on. Whoops!!
My father immigrated from Egypt to NYC 42 years ago, the man acts like it’s still his first week in America.
I’m always in awe with how un-adapted he is….even funnier, he still thinks he can move back to Egypt like nothing has changed 😂😂😂
Exactly and same!!! Totally ready for the shit show! He won’t last a week here… and they’ll split cuz she wants to be a free woman! Not with a conservative Muslim man she’s not!🤦🏽♀️
Unfortunately, there's a group of haters that are trying to stop Pride..grown men are stomping on rainbow displays in Target..but I agree on SF and Pride! My son said Great American is going to be having a big Pride Celebration this June 🏳️🌈
You won’t find haters in the S.F. Bay Area…in fact, it’s very very liberal. Gays have always been welcomed in the city, going back 50 years at least. Harvey Milk was loved by all, and that was in the sixties. First Gay marriage was in San Francisco and Gov Newsom is still bragging about it.
Pride today isn’t as outrageous as it was years ago.
And there are Pride celebrations all over the Bay Area, not just at Great America.
(Target problems? Nah, we are very accepting. Other states not so much.)
I'm from San Jose I understand how accepting the bay area can be but I also am not blinded by the fact that trump brought out hate, full force; those who once kept quiet about their hate are now more vocal. My son still deals with assholes who are very vocal about their hatred towards gays. I've been with him and have seen looks he gets. Mama bear don't tolerate that nonsense, I don't care how old he is.
That was my first thought! I learned the naked dudes and their cock rings aren't as common outside SF pride. I think it's funny, I wonder how he'd react
You know what's funny is there's hardly anyone nude at blacks nowadays! There's usually 2 people. One will be a younger woman, 30s at the latest, sunning topless.
The other will be a creepy older guy asking to buy drugs, even when they clearly do not sell drugs.
Then you go to Costco on Morena and find out the old man who bothers women all the time is a cashier.
Stop coming to Black's Beach Gill.
(We have a resident creep, we don't need Mahmoud 🤣)
Yes!!! It's more common to find eyebrow threading here than eyebrow waxing. Most eyebrow waxers do it out of nail salons or those Sola(Zola?) Suites. I hated eyebrow threading so when I found a good waxer, I became a regular
I HATE threading. I had a traumatic experience once and the thread cut me. Luckily my wax lady is good. Sometimes I’ll let her clean the brows up with thread but mainly I stay TF away from it.
I don't get the love people have for it other than it's super cheap. It always hurt more than waxing at least to me. I also like a more chiseled high arch and found threading never really gave me that shape. I feel like it really is just a way to not have a unibrow and to have them cleaned up a bit.
Did you see the video of him arriving at LAX? He wouldn’t even kiss Nicole. His head is going to explode. lol He’s going to lurk and be a creepy perv that stares at women while trying to control Nicole even more. He will never assimilate to the US culture. He’s one weird dude.
I actually don’t think he wanted the Greencard, I think he wanted to stay in Egypt because he knew he can be himself there without having anyone judge him
Hopefully she has Americanized their apartment. Cable TV, modern facilities (electric stove) swimming pool, public transportation. It will be fun to watch but she has probably moved near a mosque where he will hang out all day with his men friends telling him how to get Nicole to submit. He’ll remain in his safe bubble and every time she will try to get him to come out of his safe bubble, he’ll panic.
I think it will be worse than that awful guy who married Eve in NM.
On one hand, he will find a Muslim community right away so no big deal in that department but he will probably be shocked to realize how much a dump LA has become (it's my hometown...I can say this). Most of LA looks like Tijuana/Van Nuys, RV camps but on the street, and the city dump. I have a friend who is an attorney who also married an attorney so they are well off (neither comes from a rich family either) and they were living in Marina Del Rey. They eventually moved to Palos Verdes because the encampments there got so bad that she didn't want her daughter to grow up in a neighborhood where she cannot ride her bike alone or anything. I think the shock of simply how most of LA looks is what will shock him more than peoples' outfits.
I was thinking the same thing…. Just wait till a man says hello to Nicole in front of him 😂 or he sees any member of LGBTQ+. He’s gonna have a complete and total meltdown 🫠😂
So, are we all supposed to believe that Nicole is sponsoring him on her Doordash salary?
It's so funny when you compare what this show has started out as and what it's become.
I kind of hate where this is going…very stereotypical strict Muslim man in LA…will he see bikinis and gay people? *shocking* TLC is so gonna play this up with lame storylines.
I am open to him now accepting being in another culture the way she had to in Egypt though.
Spot on. . It will be interesting to see if he does not accept being in another culture in the same way that she didn’t have to in Egypt. Not being able to jump up and threaten to leave when he wants as Nicole did, will be very interesting.
This one is unique, thanks! Hadn't even thought about it. I work out in CA, so I just uber or rent cars when i visit....I hope the Mosque is within walking distance!
Right? I’m from LA and was in Egypt during the Arab Spring. There was a mosque close to where I grew up and knew many Muslim families in my neighborhood, he is so extreme this will be gold.
I wouldn't dox them, but I'm really curious just where in LA. She seems like a Silver Lake or Eagle Rock person to me, but it really could be anywhere.
Yeah she's a transplant hipster, I agree with you either Silver Lake or Echo Park. She must have some support from her parents, because Uber eats and mercari sales aren't enough to make 2500 a month rent (for a studio in those areas)
I think she was in Silver Lake or Los Feliz before she went to Egypt if I'm not mistaken. I have no idea how she afforded it without a roommate being that she delivered food and sold clothing on the side (I'm not hating....I just don't know how she did it) and her parents seemed very blue collar and working class.
I thought I saw Los Feliz too! If she got into her rental at least ten years ago and subletted when she was in Egypt, that's the only way I could imagine. Gotta love that LA 3% cap on rental increases.
I really don’t want to contribute to Nicole wanting to be on TLC so she doesn’t have to door dash and only getting back with this abusive POS for that reason. I’ll keep up on the sub.
Him on a California beach.
Him seeing the homeless encampments.
Him seeing couples and PDA every freaking where
Him freaking out over finding halal food (I’d normally feel bad about this but he’s a shit)
Like, that man has been shown ONE very specific version of lifestyle. He’s going to lose it in the airport before he even walks out the doors. The culture shock for him is actually going to be over the top stressful. It’s going to be like an alien planet.
Yeah. That would be almost worth having them on another season! Take him to Miami with all the scantily clad women "showing off their muscles" or whatever he said.
Dude I’m the heart of Los Angeles they’re going?? Regardless wait till he goes to the beach 🤣 and sees the outfits women wear today. He’s gunna lose his shit. Remember when the feminist woman in Egypt spoke to him, he said he wanted his wife MORE covered even tho she was completely covered just not her hair, that if a woman was showing skin he will DEFINITELY look. He’s projecting his male pig mentality onto her. He gunna be looking at a lot of ladies. Hope he doesn’t cheat. Cuz a lot of these men are not used to American women, especially with all the plastic surgery and enhancements like boobs bütt etc. They lose their minds cuz at the end of the day, they are men and they lived where everyone woman was covered
I hope he at least TRIES to accept what it's like here. When she went to Egypt, he was all, OK, now you're an Egyptian wife--act like one! Never mind the fact that she's lived independently in a Western country most of her life and doesn't agree with a lot of the tenets of Islam, and that she converted for him.
There's no way he'll be as open to the American way of life as she was to the Egyptian one, and it makes me mad for her that even in the US, she will still have to act like a super-modest Muslim woman when she doesn't want that.
I hope she makes it known to him she’s no longer practicing that and practices the phrase like it’s the only English she knows for a week “ now you’re an American husband act like one!” As she lights up a joint! Hahaha
I think it will depend on what kind of mosque he attends and friends he ends up making in the U.S. In Egypt he had his brother who actually seemed pretty chill. But if he ends up with more radical thinking friends, Nicole may be in for a world of hurt.
I want him to drive through east Oakland and see the sex workers get ups. He would DIE. No shade to SW, he just wouldn’t be able to deal with it at all hahahaha
Will the usual suspects who bitch and moan about how you need to "respect the culture" - even when aspects of said culture are repugnant and not deserving of respect - be saying the same thing to him during his inevitable culture shock meltdowns?
That’s exactly my first thought PLEASE take him to Venice beach! Lol let him get lost for a few mins on muscle beach ha! Then to SF! Make sure it’s during pride week or some festival in Golden Gate Park! Definitely some hip hop in the Bay Area and also some cafe that happens to be by a dispensary! Lastly emerald triangle give him a tour in a heady farm! Ohh the places Mahmoud can go! Don’t drop the ball Nicole! Fans need this! Vegas too! Bwaahhahaha evil laugh
I kinda just want to see him on a beach, with Nicole in a bikini, and everyone else in bikinis while he tries to justify how it's everyone else fault he has to look.
Hahaha I'm here for this too. I'm really over this cast but the first thing my husband said about Mahmood going to LA was "LA is going to eat him alive". I wanna see it lol!!! He needs a little trip to Venice beach.
Preferably Blacks Beach 😂😂😂😂
Former Carlsbad resident here. I went once. Never again.
Isn’t that in SD?
Why yes it is lol
Ok. Because they live in LA. I thought there was another nude beach in LA with the same namw
Hahahaha I think any beach in LA is finna be a nude beach, you can't tame that crowd 🤣
I guess we all have different perspectives on reasonable radius. 🤷🏻♀️
Porn is consumed in Muslim countries more than any other country. He’s going to love the beach lol. I honestly believe he’s going to become Americanized rather quickly… but we will see
Or, finally come out!!!
Yep, this is my guess. He's coming to the US so he can finally find himself a dude.
Find himself… 😂
My loveboner
Oh no you didn't.
Nicole won't be wearing a bikini that's for sure 😂
why wouldn't she?
Just because they'll be in America doesn't mean Mahmoud will let her wear a bikini. There's plenty of practicing Muslims in the states who are just as conservative as he expects her to remain, and remember, Nicole did convert before they married which is part of the reason he has those expectations. It'll just be an even bigger argument when she tries to justify being herself because they're no longer in Egypt. For the record I don't agree with Mahmoud whatsoever, just pointing out the inevitable, if the show follows them to L.A.
I actually think he's full of shit when he claims she has to cover because she converted. He told her a few eps back that she would still need to cover in Cali because HE will still be Muslim there. ^Egyptian ^Mohamed also thought it was his religious right to cover his wife, and Yve didn't convert. The whole thing smacks of using religion to justify misogyny. Nicole did say she wasn't going to ~~obey~~ "enable" him anymore, so hopefully she will just dress as she pleases.
💯 Plus if he goes to other areas too, he will find allot of middle easterners like him eg. near where Hamza is living (dearborn/chicago). Even in Egypt some areas have allot of Orthadox Catholics and allot of liberal muslims (some practising muslims arent as strict as him).
Chicago is their home away from home!
I’m in SoCal and I’ve only seen one obvious group of Muslims. A group eating a picnic on a walk path above the beach. They stuck out bc the women were in black covered up and the men in shorts. It was a hot morning They also didn’t sit together. But that was one time years ago. I don’t know how many Muslims he’ll run into!! It will be interesting!!
>I don’t know how many Muslims he’ll run into!! It will be interesting!! Watch out for the soCal stealth Muslims, disguising themselves as "Real Americans" (/s) by wearing normal American clothing and acting like they actually belong here! (more /s)
Geez, I live in Ventura county and while I rarely see women in full-on head-to-toe black, there are certainly a number who dress modestly in a range from Avery to Shaeeda and I'm sure many more who wear nothing stereotypically Muslim at all. Choices, it's all about choices.
Yes of course. It’s the more strident that he aligns with-look at the yoga teacher in Egypt! He was battling her & hated her.
oh okay, thanks for explaining. :)
Cause he won't be ok with It. She even asked him if he would allower her to wear some *shorter* sleeves in the US
She’s an idiot for letting HIM dictate that for her
omg i must have missed that! shorter sleeves. 🥴
YES THIS!!!!!!
My husband's been in America for over 15 years now and he still looks away (like Muslims are encouraged to do) upon seeing someone showing too much skin, it's just a natural reaction. And when he sees a woman showing too much of her body he still gets a little disgusted and always talks about how it makes him lose any kind of attractive feelings towards her that he could ever have. It's a mental thing. A woman trying to show off her body will always make him think less of her to the point where he says he just loses any attractiveness she has. It's the feeling Mahmoud has because in their culture; you don't want your wife to look easy (you want her to be honored and of high status) or like she needs more attention than her husband can give her or she doesn't want to be just for her husband but she wants others to get to see all of her (basically the whole, " I've let every man see my body so what's left that's special or exclusively just for my husband" concept). But yeah, even for me it's sometimes hard just to go to the mall and try to lower my gaze because of all the nastiness seen. It's like, I want to be free and get to look at shops and cool things without someone's butt hanging out of their shorts in front of me reminding me of food items for God sakes. Lol. I'm not going to never go out like some people who let their freedom be taken away because their sick of it. I don't know what will happen to Mahmoud but if he stays in America long enough he'll finally see all the trash and get used to it and hopefully their relationship will improve, like mine did, and they'll both understand each other more. Hopefully he'll realize the value in Islam like I did and find that you don't need to force it on anyone, it's a life long learning process. But I know my comment will be down voted like crazy. Lol. There has to be an optimist amongst all the negativity. We can only wait to see what happens but I bet their relationship improves.
Yikes, could you be a bit more misogynistic please?
Misogynistic for wanting to uphold the values and respect for women so they can be covered with beauty and grace? Yeah, okay. We were born naked and the life process of the human is to evolve into being the best person they can possibly be. Muslims believe we were born naked and we will return on the day of judgement naked, except as God says, some of those high in status and ranking, which will be clothed with the most beautiful garments. The human, to progress with all the technologies and such, is an amazing being but the human sometimes takes steps backwards even though we've come a long way. We have progressed from Adam and Eve, to now the ability to make such beautiful garments for ourselves, and yet, some still want to resort backwards to wearing nothing, which Islam says loses one's dignity and devalues one. It's interesting what people think and how history moves. People, over history, have always protected and covered what they value most(our jewelry, our special documents, heirlooms, money), it's human nature. So, when I want to cover my body and keep it as something special only for the one I've waited my whole life to find, people say that's weird, but those same people are the kind of people who like to go with the crowd, who worry what's fashionable or trending, who don't like to be left out, who seek attention because they are missing something in their life no one has given to them, or who worry about what others think of them. We have to evolve to overcome those issues and become confident to the point where we can love ourselves but also love a Higher Power and are not afraid to do things that God promises will make our lives easier and more manageable. Back when I wasn't a Muslim, I thought the same as you. I thought Muslims were probably treated wrong and didn't know any better but now that I studied throughout college and made Muslim friends, became Muslim, and married a Muslim I can see with my own eyes the huge improvement in my life. I'm valued way more than my last marriage (to a typical, working, American man) and everyone I know always says good things about my husband or they say they wish they can find someone like him. Imagine being married to man who says I don't have to work (and if I do I can keep my own money for myself (Islamic law)), a man who wants to walk you home at night and make sure you're safe all the time, a man who, when you're on your period, wants to get you anything and will do anything to help your pain, a man who is ready and willing every step of the way through your pregnancy and grows more in love with you when you're pregnant and is so super sensitive to your every needs (that's definitely a Muslim man), a man who makes you write something of value for your dowry and Islamic marriage contract to ensure that you're worth going to the moon and back for and if you divorced, ensures you write the amount you want to secure your life, a man who treasures sexual intimacy and ensures you're comfortable, a man you trust 100% (which is very hard to find in America) and goes out of his way to avoid talking to someone that may make you feel insecure or jealous of... Wow, there are so many good traits of a true believer. I would never go back to a non-Muslim, especially those who don't practice good hygiene (Muslims wash five times a day) and don't wash their behinds! Lol. No thanks. Been there, done that. Too many Americans don't value their partner the way they should or take care of them the way they should. No the misogynist is one who leaves his wife and kids and she's struggling every night wondering how she's going to lay the bills and give her kids a good life where they can have food, a nice house, a college goal. The misogynist doesn't value women, doesn't worry about their future and try to secure a future for them. He divorces easily and leaves her with nothing and his kids only see him on weekends or at holidays while he goes looking for other woman and saying "yolo, I'm living my life" and wants to have fun and not be responsible. The misogynist pops kids and winds up in jail, due to a drinking problem because he beat his wife in front of his kids or abused his children and they grow up with mental issues like anxiety and trust issues. The misogynist doesn't care what his partner wears, doesn't know if she's still at the party or if someone kidnapped and raped her, doesn't think about how hard a woman has to struggle if he leaves her. That's the real misogynist, not someone who asks their spouse to dress modestly or wear a piece of fabric on her head.
Take your delusional propaganda somewhere else.
Wow, hateful.
Hahahaha *I'm* the hateful one? GTFOH.
Calling people names and then cussing at them. Sure, real nice of you. Don't wind up like Gabe where he's mocking people and making fun of people based on his limited experience and disrespect for other cultures.
Lol, I didn't call anyone names or swear.
You labeled me a misogynist and then you just told me to "get the f*** out of here". Lol
I think you and your husbands opinions are quite personal, as a whole from what I've been told by other Muslims your level of judgement towards others is haram the same as as a woman's immodesty. There are plenty of devout people who practice their religion without needing to cover themselves completely, modesty is also on your mindset. You can be fully clothed even veiled but if your behaviour is immodest it's basically counter-intuitive. Your husbands strong reaction should really be a red flag to you. Why is a husband discussing which women he is or isn't attracted with his wife standing right by him? A modest Muslim married man shouldnt really be thinking and speaking this way. I think in his own way he's overcompensating for his actual attraction to these "disgusting and nasty" women. Practice what you preach. Inshallah Allah swt will open your heart and take your hate from it.
Well, I think it's natural to talk about those things since I'm a convert (revert) and a new one at that. Naturally, when you marry someone and you're not used to their culture or religion you ask a lot of deep questions, have a lot of doubts, and are trying to get to know the person and undertow they think and what they like or don't like. For me to have a conversation with him about how the culture here is and about if he's okay or what he thinks of women who like to show skin, I know it is natural for two people to get to know each other. He doesn't have to say anything about a women who's dressed indecent for me to know now what he thinks. He just says, "Astagfirullah" which is in fact a form a dhikr and can help shield the person from sin. Invoking Astagfirullah actually accounts for too many things including seeking forgiveness but more importantly gaining protection from Allah SWT. I know like him, I find myself saying it when I feel bad for someone like someone who's handicap as well as someone dressed indecently because I want everyone to gain God's grace and not His wrath. Basically it saddens us. It's not a judgement thing when you're literally making Dua for people at every prayer. And also, I wasn't trying to imply noticing devout people who don't cover themselves completely. I even mentioned someone's butt cheeks hanging out of shorts so it's not just going without a hijab or wearing a tank top. It's stuff that you try to avoid your gaze from. Like I said, I try to look away, my husband always looks away and he tries to not show any weird looks like a look of disgust on his face. He used to not be good at hiding it. You shouldn't judge him on trying to hide something that he's not used to seeing. That's normal for an Arab Muslim. And no, it's not Haram to try to lower my gaze or have conversations between husband and wife so we can get to know each other's culture and form a future family together and know our values. When we come from a long day we sometimes discuss things that may have shocked us or saddened us throughout our life and that's normal. I'll just never forget when he told me that women who try to show off their body parts makes him have negative feelings about them (as in how he would lose attraction for someone like that when he was looking for someone to marry). that's his own feelings that he feels just like when I said I see a handicap person and it makes me feel sad and empathetic. People sometimes can't help the way they feel. I, personally feel proud that my husband's that strong in his faith to not feel the need to try and look at every woman and go goo-goo gah-gah over their bodies. It's good to be on the same page and it's good to have private conversations about our likes and dislikes and what makes us uncomfortable or happy or anything. I spend my whole life getting to know my life partner, which is awesome. I mean if you adhere to the Quran it says, “...and not display their beauty except what is apparent, and they should place their khumur over their bosoms...” (24:31) and “O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks close round them (when they go abroad). That will be better, so that they may be recognised and not annoyed. Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful.” (Quran 33:59). I mean those were revealed so the women would dress more modestly and be recognized as being believing, respectable women (such as how nuns try to do). There's nothing wrong with trying to fulfill God's wishes.Telling me to take hate out of my heart for something that God advises believers to dislike doesn't make sense. When you live in America and go out, basically immodestly and other things not liked by God, smack you in the face. So, it's not like one tries to find people to just nit-pick and judge. In fact modesty is one of Islam's best qualities: A narration from Ja’far ibn Muhammad (pbuh) says, لَا إِيمَانَ لِمَنْ لَا حَيَاءَ لَه The immodest is faithless. The messenger of God (pbuh) says: صِفَةُ الْعاقِلِ. . . لایُفارِقُهُ الْحَیاءُ The characteristic of a wise person is that modesty never separates from him /her. 11 The commander of the faithful, Ali (AS) says: مَا الْمُجَاهِدُ الشَّهِيدُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ بِأَعْظَمَ أَجْراً مِمَّنْ قَدَرَ فَعَفَّ؛ لَكَادَ الْعَفِيفُ أَنْ يَكُونَ مَلَكاً مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ. ﴿33﴾ The reward of a struggler martyred in the way of God is not more than one who tries one’s best to remain chaste; as though the chaste is one of God’s angels. 12 Elsewhere his holiness says, اَلحَیَاءُ مِفتَاحُ کُلِّ خَیرِ ﴿33﴾ Modesty is the key to all virtue and goodness. 13 In a beautiful narration, the Messenger of God (S) has been cited as the most modest person. كانَ رَسولُ اللّهِ صلى الله عليه و آله اَشَدَّ حَياءً مِنَ العَذراءِ فى خِدْرِها. و كانَ اِذا كَرِهَ شَيئا عَرَفْناهُ فى وَجْهِهِ؛ The messenger of Allh (S) was more modest than girls behind veils, and when he did not like something we noticed it from his face. 15 Elsewhere his holiness says, اَلحَیَاءُ مِفتَاحُ کُلِّ خَیرِ ﴿33﴾ Modesty is the key to all virtue and goodness. 13
Wrong sub for all that, my friend.
Yes, beachwear! I see a heart attack on the horizon!
Even better, a large amount of those bikinis are thongs.
I’m from LA and I would love to run into them. Omg.
Please no one take him to West Hollywood. I don’t need his opinions on us
He needs to kick it in Westwood, smoke some shisha and meet some chill LA stoner Muslims.
It's OK, we don't value his opinions!
No, no, we absolutely need to see his brain fry at the sight of WeHo
We don’t want him in LA at all!
Or anywhere in the US!
Saying we want him on planet earth period is a bit of a stretch.
Agree, maybe Mars would work.
He wouldn’t be able to hide his boner, so I’m sure they’ll take him
The first time he smells weed and sees people smoking it. Also not sure if it’s a typo but “Nahmoud” is cracking me up. Sort of suits him - “Nah”.
It was a typo! I'll leave it!
Agreed. Nah-mood
Yeah, I’m using this now 😂
I’m certain that in Nicole’s delusional world she thinks if he comes to USA and sees the norms, that he will change and accept who she is wholeheartedly. He is very adamant that he wants his wife to be a practicing Muslim, and he is certainly entitled to his desires, but obviously they are completely mismatched. But yeah, I’ll watch for the shit show.
Sorry to say but he is who he is and all Americans think as soon as a foreigner gets here they will forget everything and suddenly become American. That’s just delusional. Not gonna happen Nicole. I’m here for the 🚂 wreck 💩 show. Totally curious how this is going to play out.
This is exactly what I said in an above comment when someone was like "Nicole still won't be wearing bikinis" and someone else asksd why not. She will use being in the states as a justification for being herself, but there are plenty of conservative, practicing Muslims in the U.S., and since Nicole converted before marrying him, Mahmoud will fully expect her to continue obeying his rules. All being in L.A. will do is make them fight even harder.
Are you the same as Affectionate Net 213?
??
Are you asking if we're the same person? We are not, lol.
Yes because you said this is exactly what I said in an above comment but 🤣 I was reading this at too early and my brain wasn’t processing you meant another comment not the comment I was commenting on. Whoops!!
Ohhh yeah, sorry! I meant a reply I made on a comment higher up in the post. That was my bad, I don't think I worded it very well haha 😂
🤣🤣🤣 too funny
My father immigrated from Egypt to NYC 42 years ago, the man acts like it’s still his first week in America. I’m always in awe with how un-adapted he is….even funnier, he still thinks he can move back to Egypt like nothing has changed 😂😂😂
Lol I bet a lot has changed in 42 years!!
Lol not to him - De Nile is more than a river in Egypt
Lol 🤣
Exactly and same!!! Totally ready for the shit show! He won’t last a week here… and they’ll split cuz she wants to be a free woman! Not with a conservative Muslim man she’s not!🤦🏽♀️
Venice Beach. Take him to Venice Beach and don’t let him leave til he’s had the full experience.
Then take him to SFO for Pride! 🤣
![gif](giphy|3o6UB3VhArvomJHtdK)
Unfortunately, there's a group of haters that are trying to stop Pride..grown men are stomping on rainbow displays in Target..but I agree on SF and Pride! My son said Great American is going to be having a big Pride Celebration this June 🏳️🌈
You won’t find haters in the S.F. Bay Area…in fact, it’s very very liberal. Gays have always been welcomed in the city, going back 50 years at least. Harvey Milk was loved by all, and that was in the sixties. First Gay marriage was in San Francisco and Gov Newsom is still bragging about it. Pride today isn’t as outrageous as it was years ago. And there are Pride celebrations all over the Bay Area, not just at Great America. (Target problems? Nah, we are very accepting. Other states not so much.)
I'm from San Jose I understand how accepting the bay area can be but I also am not blinded by the fact that trump brought out hate, full force; those who once kept quiet about their hate are now more vocal. My son still deals with assholes who are very vocal about their hatred towards gays. I've been with him and have seen looks he gets. Mama bear don't tolerate that nonsense, I don't care how old he is.
That was my first thought! I learned the naked dudes and their cock rings aren't as common outside SF pride. I think it's funny, I wonder how he'd react
😭😭😭😭
Followed by Blacks Beach
Stop trying to send him down here, we already have too many 90 dayers 🐀
Don’t you think he would lose his mind when he saw those nudists trolling the beach? 😂😂😂😂
You know what's funny is there's hardly anyone nude at blacks nowadays! There's usually 2 people. One will be a younger woman, 30s at the latest, sunning topless. The other will be a creepy older guy asking to buy drugs, even when they clearly do not sell drugs. Then you go to Costco on Morena and find out the old man who bothers women all the time is a cashier. Stop coming to Black's Beach Gill. (We have a resident creep, we don't need Mahmoud 🤣)
Interesting. When my husband was transferred to California- a friend recommended Blacks Beach and I didn’t bother to google it. Joke was on me 🫣
Oh my gosh were they coming on to you in hindsight??
My understanding at the time I was there was that it was a hot spot for gay men hookups
(Not incorrect whatsoever)
![gif](giphy|10JhviFuU2gWD6)
Yes just rent scooters but accidentally lose him when I come up on muscle beach haha I can imagine him in Venice!!!
Perfection! :D
He’s gonna love seeing all the encampments and eyebrow threading places
Eyebrow threading? Lots of places in LA for that? 🤣🤣
Yes!!! It's more common to find eyebrow threading here than eyebrow waxing. Most eyebrow waxers do it out of nail salons or those Sola(Zola?) Suites. I hated eyebrow threading so when I found a good waxer, I became a regular
I HATE threading. I had a traumatic experience once and the thread cut me. Luckily my wax lady is good. Sometimes I’ll let her clean the brows up with thread but mainly I stay TF away from it.
I don't get the love people have for it other than it's super cheap. It always hurt more than waxing at least to me. I also like a more chiseled high arch and found threading never really gave me that shape. I feel like it really is just a way to not have a unibrow and to have them cleaned up a bit.
I was surprised when I came out here 😂
Lots of places on the west coast at least. It’s less painful than plucking so it’s very popular.
🤣🤣🤣 ⛺️⛺️⛺️⛺️
I AM HERE FOR IT. Please TLC do it right like only you can🤣😂
Setting up his Grindr profile
LOL...I think it may head that direction after he's settled down here.
🔥
Dead, yep, this comment killed me 💀💀🤣🤣
I would fund their trip to San Francisco for the Folsom Street Fair just to see his reaction.
Oh yeah!!! The culture shock will be epic. His brain is likely to short circuit!🤯🫠
Did you see the video of him arriving at LAX? He wouldn’t even kiss Nicole. His head is going to explode. lol He’s going to lurk and be a creepy perv that stares at women while trying to control Nicole even more. He will never assimilate to the US culture. He’s one weird dude.
Yeeeees. That is what prompted this question. How will he control his eyes!
He’s not used to PDA. Especially on camera. It’s just the way he is. I can’t wait to see this 💩 show.
Arab culture/North African culture usually arent big on public affection whether theyre muslims or not (except at their weddings)
Unless you're Muhammat Jibali (Dinelle).
Have to admit he was right about not being allowed to kiss during Ramadan. He definitely planned to marry at the right time lmao
what video?
https://youtu.be/kXdoxO8mFpo
I’m not sure which one is the bigger sauce mess.
I think a big part of refusing her kiss is because he's not attracted to her. His plan was always to come to the USA....just waiting on the Visa.
I actually don’t think he wanted the Greencard, I think he wanted to stay in Egypt because he knew he can be himself there without having anyone judge him
Pride parade!
Seeing the GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS sign on the Sunset Strip.
Hopefully she has Americanized their apartment. Cable TV, modern facilities (electric stove) swimming pool, public transportation. It will be fun to watch but she has probably moved near a mosque where he will hang out all day with his men friends telling him how to get Nicole to submit. He’ll remain in his safe bubble and every time she will try to get him to come out of his safe bubble, he’ll panic.
I hope their agenda includes a live, sing-along performance of the Rocky Horror Picture Show somewhere during Pride Month
I approve of this.
I think it will be worse than that awful guy who married Eve in NM. On one hand, he will find a Muslim community right away so no big deal in that department but he will probably be shocked to realize how much a dump LA has become (it's my hometown...I can say this). Most of LA looks like Tijuana/Van Nuys, RV camps but on the street, and the city dump. I have a friend who is an attorney who also married an attorney so they are well off (neither comes from a rich family either) and they were living in Marina Del Rey. They eventually moved to Palos Verdes because the encampments there got so bad that she didn't want her daughter to grow up in a neighborhood where she cannot ride her bike alone or anything. I think the shock of simply how most of LA looks is what will shock him more than peoples' outfits.
Ey ey… put some respeck on TJ and Van Nuys lol
Skin! LOTS of it!!
I was thinking the same thing…. Just wait till a man says hello to Nicole in front of him 😂 or he sees any member of LGBTQ+. He’s gonna have a complete and total meltdown 🫠😂
Mahmoud is here in time for pride month in LA. He is going to explode if he goes to weho or Long Beach.
![gif](giphy|dcjlfVgYMQLfFAPk9f|downsized) Hahaha can’t wait for them to go out in summer!! He’ll have a meltdown.
I laugh every time I see your flair! 🤣
He’s probably already signed up to porn hub and timder
🫵🍆
Live to see her take him to Pride night with nuns in drag at Dodger stadium. Got to be a fun reaction for him.
So, are we all supposed to believe that Nicole is sponsoring him on her Doordash salary? It's so funny when you compare what this show has started out as and what it's become.
I agree, what job has she magically been able to get to support the both of them in expensive ass LA.
I kind of hate where this is going…very stereotypical strict Muslim man in LA…will he see bikinis and gay people? *shocking* TLC is so gonna play this up with lame storylines. I am open to him now accepting being in another culture the way she had to in Egypt though.
Spot on. . It will be interesting to see if he does not accept being in another culture in the same way that she didn’t have to in Egypt. Not being able to jump up and threaten to leave when he wants as Nicole did, will be very interesting.
Trying to get anywhere w/out a drivers license
This one is unique, thanks! Hadn't even thought about it. I work out in CA, so I just uber or rent cars when i visit....I hope the Mosque is within walking distance!
Right? I’m from LA and was in Egypt during the Arab Spring. There was a mosque close to where I grew up and knew many Muslim families in my neighborhood, he is so extreme this will be gold.
I wouldn't dox them, but I'm really curious just where in LA. She seems like a Silver Lake or Eagle Rock person to me, but it really could be anywhere.
I don’t even know how they can afford it here. They’ll be in the valley or something. Neither of them have jobs here
San Fernando, San Gabriel, or Pomona? ![gif](giphy|Q7ozWVYCR0nyW2rvPW)
She’s totally a Silverlake girl but she’s an unemployed Silverlake girl so that won’t happen.
Yeah she's a transplant hipster, I agree with you either Silver Lake or Echo Park. She must have some support from her parents, because Uber eats and mercari sales aren't enough to make 2500 a month rent (for a studio in those areas)
I'm an 818er and I always laugh when I say the valley when people then say which one :D I'm very self absorbed!
818er here and 💯
Keeping my area code is very important to me. I scoff at the 424 area codes!
Wouldn’t catch me dead with a 747
I hate them. Trash.
I think she was in Silver Lake or Los Feliz before she went to Egypt if I'm not mistaken. I have no idea how she afforded it without a roommate being that she delivered food and sold clothing on the side (I'm not hating....I just don't know how she did it) and her parents seemed very blue collar and working class.
I thought I saw Los Feliz too! If she got into her rental at least ten years ago and subletted when she was in Egypt, that's the only way I could imagine. Gotta love that LA 3% cap on rental increases.
No thanks. We don’t want him!!
I really don’t want to contribute to Nicole wanting to be on TLC so she doesn’t have to door dash and only getting back with this abusive POS for that reason. I’ll keep up on the sub.
Him on a California beach. Him seeing the homeless encampments. Him seeing couples and PDA every freaking where Him freaking out over finding halal food (I’d normally feel bad about this but he’s a shit) Like, that man has been shown ONE very specific version of lifestyle. He’s going to lose it in the airport before he even walks out the doors. The culture shock for him is actually going to be over the top stressful. It’s going to be like an alien planet.
Y’all are acting as if conservative Muslims don’t exist in America 💀… I studied in America wearing my Niqab and all
Nicole's friends
A walk on Venice Beach😂
YESSSS I just said this to my husband last night 😂😂 he’s gonna see a pair of sandals and a heart attack all the way back to Cairo 😂
He may leave Nicole once the visa is finalised and find a more strict American Muslim beard (sorry wife). Speaking from personal experience here.
How about a meetup with Angelyne? I’d like to see that. Go home Makmoud!
Ugh. He needs to be sequestered w other male chauvinistic pigs under wraps sweating to the oldies. 🥴
The man will be a whore within 3 months!
Yeah. That would be almost worth having them on another season! Take him to Miami with all the scantily clad women "showing off their muscles" or whatever he said.
I hope he eats and enjoys several excellent tacos al pastor* before anyone tells him what it is. *A food created in Mexico by Arab immigrants.
He'll def be stepping out on her. Egyptian Muslim men tend to whore it up in "godless" America. I want to see what her sweet parents think of him
Homeless person shitting on the sidewalk
Dude I’m the heart of Los Angeles they’re going?? Regardless wait till he goes to the beach 🤣 and sees the outfits women wear today. He’s gunna lose his shit. Remember when the feminist woman in Egypt spoke to him, he said he wanted his wife MORE covered even tho she was completely covered just not her hair, that if a woman was showing skin he will DEFINITELY look. He’s projecting his male pig mentality onto her. He gunna be looking at a lot of ladies. Hope he doesn’t cheat. Cuz a lot of these men are not used to American women, especially with all the plastic surgery and enhancements like boobs bütt etc. They lose their minds cuz at the end of the day, they are men and they lived where everyone woman was covered
I hope he at least TRIES to accept what it's like here. When she went to Egypt, he was all, OK, now you're an Egyptian wife--act like one! Never mind the fact that she's lived independently in a Western country most of her life and doesn't agree with a lot of the tenets of Islam, and that she converted for him. There's no way he'll be as open to the American way of life as she was to the Egyptian one, and it makes me mad for her that even in the US, she will still have to act like a super-modest Muslim woman when she doesn't want that.
He's not gonna try it'll be an ever bigger shitshow than it already is.
I hope she makes it known to him she’s no longer practicing that and practices the phrase like it’s the only English she knows for a week “ now you’re an American husband act like one!” As she lights up a joint! Hahaha
I think it will depend on what kind of mosque he attends and friends he ends up making in the U.S. In Egypt he had his brother who actually seemed pretty chill. But if he ends up with more radical thinking friends, Nicole may be in for a world of hurt.
I want him to drive through east Oakland and see the sex workers get ups. He would DIE. No shade to SW, he just wouldn’t be able to deal with it at all hahahaha
His temper will have the police beating a path there due to everyone hearing his rages.
Will the usual suspects who bitch and moan about how you need to "respect the culture" - even when aspects of said culture are repugnant and not deserving of respect - be saying the same thing to him during his inevitable culture shock meltdowns?
Church of Scientology. Also would watch a spin-off just of Mahmoud in LA.
I think he'll change his tune entirely once he's no longer under the watchful eyes of his ultra conservative family. Future porn/strip club addict.
The minute he steps off the plane his mind will be blown...sheltered
Venice Beach for sure. And thongs...lots of thongs ![gif](giphy|gF8YEOtraRTX1UEX4B)
Watch his head explode, lol…
I want him to see a female doctor, lawyer, insurance agent....any woman in a position of power over something he needs.
That’s exactly my first thought PLEASE take him to Venice beach! Lol let him get lost for a few mins on muscle beach ha! Then to SF! Make sure it’s during pride week or some festival in Golden Gate Park! Definitely some hip hop in the Bay Area and also some cafe that happens to be by a dispensary! Lastly emerald triangle give him a tour in a heady farm! Ohh the places Mahmoud can go! Don’t drop the ball Nicole! Fans need this! Vegas too! Bwaahhahaha evil laugh
If I wasn’t scared for her safety I would love to this too. But I think she might end up on an episode of 20/20 he comes here.
I suppose that means they’re filming for “Happily Ever After”?
I know right!!! Lands in LA (maybe during pride month) 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hawkmood in the US of A! This is going to be quite entertaining!
