You can be happy as long as you’re a male. Females need to stay out of sight except for when the men who own them summon them. But not to worry, these are happy “moderates,” and if you think they’re misogynistic, you’re a greasy Islamophobe.
An update on this story. “The ‘Halal Version’ Of The ‘Happy British Muslims’ Video Gets Rid Of All The Women,” by Yasmine Hafiz, The Huffington Post, April 18:
It’s been just three days since the “Happy British Muslims” video was posted, and the Internet has already exploded with opinions about it, ranging from wildly enthusiastic to fiercely disapproving.
While its supporters applaud the diverse array of Muslims featured and simple, positive message of happiness, its detractors have an array of complaints that range from the depiction of co-ed dancing to the use of a pop song, Pharrell Williams’ “Happy.”
Some feel so strongly that the video is haraam (forbidden) that they have released a halal (permitted) version that takes out the elements considered to be problematic– namely, adult women.
Many other Muslims find this version far more offensive than the original video, with its myriad of negative implications about women….
Yep. But these same Muslims would almost certainly denounce any non-Muslim who has criticized Islamic misogyny as an “Islamophobe.”
Jay Boo says
Muhammad was a rapist and adulterer.
But Muslims can overlook his pig-like selfishness as long as women are considered property.
jihad3tracker says
As I said in a similar way when the first JW post about that video went up :
We are witnessing the first wave, eventually becoming a Category 5 hurricane, of young human exhuberance and energy…
Not even a billion post-teenage male Muslims will succeed in stopping young persons from felling and expressing joy.
The corpse of 7th century Islam has met its conqueror — 21st century internet communication.
Salah says
“The corpse of 7th century Islam has met its conqueror — 21st century internet communication.”
I agree 100%.
Most Muslims know next to nothing of the real Muhammad, his filthy life and his disgusting examples. This is rapidly changing thanks to the internet. The information superhighway is paving over the ignorance that has for centuries been the stronghold of Islamic dogma.
Then, we have the security issue. Muslims who DO KNOW about the filth of their “prophet” don’t dare discuss it outloud. This is also changing thanks to the internet, as you can see in the following clip:

Surely Mohammad was the prince of men perfect and saintly in every way he never did anything wrong and allah sanctioned his every decision. The sun probably shone out of his behind parts! How do we know?
The Quran tells us so. However the Quran also tells us the other side of the story but of course that is the part of the story the kaffirs do not understand.
ECAW says
Hope you’re right about the internet. It seems our best hope for a peaceful outcome, as I suggest here (at the end):

Bradamante says
I love your blog, ECAW, and hope more Jihadwatchers will visit it as well.
ECAW says
Shucks.
BlueRaven says
Good read and very good analysis. I bet no Muslim will understand your logic, because it is common sense you written which goes over the head of a Muslim. My proof lies they can figure Mo was a biggest hypocrite and he used the name Allah each time to cover his crap.
Paul Austin Murphy says
In the UK there’s a soap opera called EastEnders, set in London’s East End.
Over the last twenty years it has featured many Muslims and Muslim families. Literally almost all (bar one or two) of the Muslims have been played by Sikh and Hindu actors. For example, the current family featured on EastEnders is made up entirely of Hindu and Sikh actors. I wonder if the same is true of that silly video above.
gravenimage says
I’m not sure I’d count on that, jihad3tracker.
I’m afraid a lot of that “young human exhuberance and energy” is going into waging Jihad…
After all, recall that “Al Shebaab”—one of the nastiest Jihad groups—translates to “the youth”.
Statistically, in fact, younger Muslims are far more likely to wage violent Jihad and seek the imposition of brutal Shari’ah than did their parents and grandparents.
Sharon Hanna says
I sincerely hope jihad3tracker is right. That would be wonderful. But I’m not going to hold my breath.
Rav says
Good to see they also removed the musical instruments from the sound track.
It is amazing how many muslims are deceived what their religion really stands for. Its amazing how so many ‘intelligent’ westerners also can’t see through all these contradictions to come to a rational conclusion.
Lauren says
I guess they are happy. Look at how much Britain has let them get away with
Gay Toni says
Good for them, this is the way to go. Who wants to see women dancing, it’s not natural. Men dancing with men, now that’s natural. I love it Long Live the Village People.
Tedd R says
Sounds klike they want to get rid of women so all the Muslim men can have sex with other men
Elsp says
I have an idea for a follow up video. Picture this-a group of young Muslim males after burning a church and slaughtering a number of Christians are singing ‘ If you’re happy and you know it clap your hands and shout allu akbar’
andy says
THEIR HAPPY COZ JUST KILLING PEOPLE, BOMBING MALL. RAPING LITTLE GIRLS, BEATING SOME UNHIJAB GIRLS, LOL!!!!
Askar says
And here is what they are actually saying in their mosques:
bill says
Can somebody please send a copy of that to Cameron, and all other perosn in leadership positions
Anon says
I tweeted it to Cameron… not sure he’ll ever see it. What if thousands of people tweeted stuff like this to the politicians though every time it showed up? Just imagine 10,000 people tweeting it – and there has to be that many at least who are fed up with this enough to do it.
Maria says
It is still HARAM.
Muslims are not supposed to listen to music, especially western music.
Michael Copeland says
Islam does not tolerate music. Music is haram, forbidden.
In Islamic Law “Commanding the Right and Forbidding the Wrong” includes “Righting the wrong by hand”, such as “breaking musical instruments”
(Manual of Islamic Law q5.6).
The Manual is available as a free download:

ECAW says
This one is even better:
bill says
I am not sure what you mean by ‘better’ I think it is appalling but I am sure these two sad girls re present only a small % of muslims. However what is shocking is the number of support comments about 95 % in fact.
the irony is that the end clips of Muslims being attacked and killed seem to be all from Syria where it is Muslims killing Muslims!
ECAW's blogECAW says
I just meant a better example of Islamic loopyness.
Weren’t there four girls? It’s so hard to tell when they all look the same.
PJG says
I like this comment under the film:
“…we want to [be] accepted by non muslims but they have to accept us first and research our religion. ”
When I say “like” I mean find interesting. They won’t accept us until we accept them. And we know what that means.
mortimer says
Happiness is segregation, misogyny, pedophilia, cousin marriage, inbreeding, backwardness, wearing the 7th century dress of rape and enslavement gangs, supremacism and only associating with our own death cult.
exsgtbrown says
Islam has always been anti-woman…it’s time the Muslim women found out about it…
Vivienne Leijonhufvud (goldie) says
When the world is rid of Islam we can in live in peace and tolerance. Hurry let’s take action against these awful idiot savages.
sidney penny says
Why was there a need to make this video( which ever version)
duh_swami says
Man, did they mess up with that one. They may have got rid of the girls, but they are still listening to a songstress singing, more than one actually. Now they qualify for a molten lead ear wash. Ouch!!!!!
David says
If I was a Muslim I wouldn’t be happy at all, I’d be worried about the torments of the grave.

People should be seriously embarrassed to listen to bull crap like that, apparently one billion of them do not. For me it is impossible to imagine the level of stupidity involved on this planet.

Try to find logic in that !!

I would love to see this as a graphic on the evening news with a strait-faced news caster listing the countries one by one and then wrapping it up with your final comments.

Geppetto says
So who did the scrubbing? This goes from an encouraging display of typical, normal, western enjoyment of a rhythmic, melodic, upbeat tune to an exercise of the misogynistic nature of Islam. As Spencer refers to them, “moderate Muslims” cannot seem to break loose from the Jihad noose wrapped around their necks. Will the real Muslim moderates please stand up and expose their unprotected necks? If they exist, and they surely do, they may be in greater immediate danger than the infidels.
Along that line, can’t help but wonder what Dr. Zuhdi Jasser does to protect himself and his family from his fellow Muslim goons?
FatherJon says
Well, they’d better make hay while the sun shines, ’cause they sure as hell will not be doing any dancing once the strict global caliphate is established. All forms of dancing, singing, music associated with the kufar will be haram, interdite, verboten!
And that’s kosher!!!!!!!!!
Kaltoum says
This is just lie. No happy, joy , joy in our culture, we are not happy, we are not allow to do anything, how come I can be happy when I am not allow to do anything? No music, no sport, no wearing modern clothes, no dancing, not talking or mixing to non Muslims, not allow to marry who I want. You can’t be happy if you don’t have a freedom. My brothers get more freedom then me because my mother allow them, it is not fair.
Mirren10 says
Uh-huh.
Well, if you are really what you claim to be, and you really desire freedom, then my heart goes out to you, sweetie.
Just one question, though; if you are actually not allowed to do anything, how come you have access to the internet,to post on Jihad Watch ? Don’t your parents police your useage of the internet as well ?
Kaltoum says
This is different my mother doesn’t read or write so she doesn’t mind but she does mind if I go out, it is okay when I am at home I do wash, clean and cook and my brothers are out partying, they come back very late and my dad has to work delivering things. Oh my Gosh if I go out come back late I got in to trouble. You are lucky girl. Kuffar women are lucky they have so much freedom. They could get marry who they like even if they don’t want they don’t have to have children, me opposite, I be having arranged and so many kids even it is going to hurt me down there I be baby machine.
dumbledoresarmy says
If you are living in a Muslim country, I don’t see how you can get away; I will pray for a miracle for you.
If you are living in a non-Muslim country…bide your time, and wait your chance, and *read*. Read, read, read, as many things as you can. Read online. But cover your tracks – do you know how to “clear history” of your web browser?
“Hannah Shah”, author of “The Imam’s Daughter”, got away. She is now a free woman. She has left Islam, and she is free, and much, much happier.

PJG, this is the extraordinary contradiction in their brains, isn’t it ?
They want us to “research their religion”.
But we have; many of us have read the koran, hadith, and the life of the hideous mohammed. And we find their ‘religion’ utterly repulsive, abhorrent, and evil.
Do they *really* not see that ?

UK: “Halal Version” of “Happy Muslims” video gets rid of all the women
………………………….
Well, of course! Why would Muslim men be happy around filthy “Awras”, who are deficient and cancel their prayers?
But they missed one, or maybe two—for just a second, you get a glimpse of an elderly woman in a Hijab, and in one of the groups of children early on one *might* have been a girl.
I’m sure heads will roll over this lapse—perhaps quite literally…
