Comments by "" (@MayaTheDecemberGirl) on "Asking Japanese Muslims Why They Converted To Islam" video.

@MuhammadTaha-s8z Probably it's not so much of them and most of the people probably are rather atheists. And there are many more people of other religions. For instance, I've read that there are about 230 000 of Muslims currently in Japan, but about 1,26 millions of Christians. And about 70 millions of Buddhists, about 80 millions or so of Shinto. So the proportions look different.

Exactly. At least since XVIth century. With many worlwide known saints, like st. Francis Xavier or st. Paul Miki and his companions. And so many martyrs. Also the Franciscians, like st. Maximilian Kolbe who spent six years, 1930-1936, in Japan, establishing a monastery (called Mugenzai no Sono) in Nagasaki, that survived the atom bomb attack. And currently there's also an beatification process opened of a Japanese Catholic Satoko Kitahara. She cooperated with friar Zeno Żebrowski, a friend of Maximilian Kolbe.

@mguvron6604 Yeah, because this what they celebrate is not really any Christmas at all, but just a commercial side of it, not having much to do with real Christmas.

Exactly. It's not interesting to watch another video only about muslims. So it should be equally about different religions, or about none of such topics. Not again about muslims only.

@meteora8145 This is interesting, I didn't know about it. I'll read about him. I see in Wikipedia that he was already beatified in 2017, so now his waiting for being canonized.

Why there are suddenly more videos, another one in quite a short period, about religion? And another one again only about Muslims. While generally religion is a very sensitive topic.

I've tead there's about 1,3 mln of Christians in Japan.

@Darur1308 You also don't know much about other religions. It's not so easy to be Christian also nowadays, because there's often much hate, attacks on Christian etc. And other religions for sure also face various difficulties. So if viewers are international, from different countries, have different religions, various videos are interesting for them. And people of different religions are interested for instance if it's possible to practice their religion when being in another country, like to go to church on Sunday, or to other temple in case of other religions. It definitely shouldn't be one-sided.

@Darur1308 OK, I understand what You mean. But the video is not at all about this really, but only about some people saying just that they converted, mostly because of marriage reasons, that's all. So it's not really about difficulties in practicing any religion in Japan. And I think it would be more interesting about different religions, also about Christianity of course, because it may be interesting if people are able to practice their religion if they go for a longer time to Japan. So it's not only about Muslims. For instance, in case of Christianity there are different churches, like Catholic, various Evangelical ones that differ a lot, Orthodox etc., and probably it's not so easy for everyone to find a church they belong to and that's not far, especially outside the biggest cities.

@JojoAlam-dx5gm I've read that in the USA over 60%, so above 210 millions, of the whole population are Christians. And after Christians there are Jews and Mormones (having about 2%). Not mentioning atheists. And that the USA are a country with the biggest Christian population in the world. It's only additional comment, because after all the channel is not about the US, but Japan.

Exactly. There are different viewers at this channel, from different countries, of different religions also. So definitely it shouldn't be only about islam, again.

@wilkesmcdermid7906 And it would be also interesting, to watch a video about this. By the way, in my country there's a popular YouTuber (Gabriel Hyodo), whose father is Japanese, living here since many years - but Gabriel's granpa is living in Japan and the whole family are Catholics. He had some videos also about Sunday spent in Japan, and as You say, a church was run by Japanese.

SabinaS.N.O.W. I'm also a viewer, subscribed already since some longer time, and as such that's obvious I can express my opinion, like everyone else. After all, that's the point of such public, international channels. And as I've already stated above, I think that generally religion is a very sensitive topic. So taking into account that subcribers are also different, from many different countries, of many religions, it should be about more of the religions, in a fair proportion (at least about all those biggest ones), or about none of them. That's my opinion to which, like everyone else, I'm entitled, and which I can express freely. After all, this is why there are the comment sections on YouTube channels, for everyone.

 @realnoscope Of course, I won't cry. But for me it's just boring, another video like this. It's maybe interesting only for Muslims, for all others not at all.
2
@realnoscope OK. But You know, I can watch one video about Muslims in Japan, it's OK, but not more. And also taking into account that among viewers of that channel are people of different religions (not mentioning atheists), it's also quite unfair to have more only about one of them, again. It would be more interesting to find out rather about religion, philosophy and tradition that's characteristic, specific for Japan itself.

It really looks like that. It's surprising. If it was be true, it would be clear why there's more videos about muslims again recently at the channel.

@LuGuang20 Well, Hitler and Nazists were in fact no Christians, just the opposite. They created they own, neopagan form of religion, they even had some occult practices, supported especially nlby Heinrich Himmler but others also, for instance special occult meetings and rites organized at the Wewelsburg castle.

SabinaS.N.O.W. I do watch this channel since much longer time. And if I would like to watch videos about islam, I would choose different channels. It's not the first one, but another, again, about similar topic. I want to watch this channel like I used to, but not videos about islam. And as stated above, religion is a sensitive topic. If it's only about one religion again, it shows that the channel is different that it used to be. If it would turn into a channel for muslims, for sure I won't watch. And it's also discriminatory - there are many more religions, so there should be videos equally about them also, or no videos about any religions.

Exactly.
