I Am a Youtuber but not a YouTube Troll

#youtuber #youtubetroll #firozeshakir

I am grateful to You Tube for giving me platform that I use positively ,, I am not into politics I have no agenda I dont  proselytize ..
I shoot India weft warp of a tapestry of peace hope humanity .

I became a YouTuber by accident and I use Youtube to archive my still photography as slideshows as my collection at Flickr over 500000 do not have the reach like YouTube .

I am not net savvy I dont know how to edit but I owe my video presentation to Windows Movie Make th most regressive was You Tube editor ,, I am not rich cant afford editing classes or editing apps .

I showcase only India and I am a Indian I am a Shis Muslim but I become the religion I shoot . my videos my thoughts my poems reflect my upbringing my parentage .

My parents lived in a slum my father was a tailor a boy who had come to try his luck in Bombay when he was 15 years old ..
My mother came from a Shia Syed family descendant of poet Mir Anis .
They struggled we lived as tenants of the family of late doyen actor thespian Nawab Kashmiri .at Wodehouse Road Colaba .
Their daughter educated me at Private European School the fees early 50 s was Rs 50.
Than she shifted me to Holy Name High School .

I did not complete my higher studied began working got into wrong company became a alcoholic and drug user .

However my wife my children's prayers saved me I gave up drinking drugs its been 20 years now .

I evolved I worked hard I do hgo to other peoples videos to post hate comments I am not a perfect Muslim I dont want you to be like me ..
I dont believe in conversions ,,I respect all religion I dont wear blinkers ..

The rest you can hear my voice on this video

To All Bigots Racists Shia Sufi Haters You Tube Trolls on this Platform ..

posted at youtube community forum

Blessings Salutations

I once tried this platform but gave up because of hate and abusive comments that did not spare me or my family ..

But I gave myself another chance I came back and this time I decided to moderate my  comment box ..your comments have to be approved by me ,,,I report abuse and block and delete ..

I am a Shia Muslim born bred in India ..we may all be Muslims but we are not the same we differ because we come from different countries .. what really makes us different is our parentage our upbringing or lack of upbringing ..

I am a photographer and a Youtuber like some of you .my videos are not to hurt or abuse gender or religion or community ..

For those who dont know me a Google Search on my name will show you my cyber history ,,,

I shoot and it is neither for fame or money,,,but what really hurts me deep down you dont like my views my videos move on why do you take my videos personally ,, why do you want to subjugate me with your hate animosity ,, Ok I am not a perfect Muslim like you ..to be hate filled like you I would have to disown my parents my upbringing ,,

Unlike some of you that are paid by your Wahabi and Salafi and Tabiki Masters to attack people who shoot Hinduism Sufism Shiasm..and you get away with it as you have never posted anything that one calls Original Content .. you are nothing but Shadow Mullahs wanting to destroy a beautiful platform of Knowledge Education Awareness that is YouTube .
And YouTube needs you the faceless gutless ball less gang of subscribers
I am not a Mullah and photography is not my source of income I am a reputed Fashion Designer Bollywood .

I do not belong to any religious group  political party at all .

I am happy that my mother gave me a faith in her womb I discovered Humanity through Hussain ,My Karbala is India ,,

I have no issue with your beliefs faith religion so why do you impose your belief on me I do no want to be a part of the Islam that you represent ,,you have misinterpreted the Koranic verses to suit your agenda of killing Sufis Shias Hindus Ahmedis ,,I cant be like you ..

So desist from commenting on my videos dont try to change the way I think I am a self educated Muslim luckily my parents poor did no send me to a Madrsa ,,

So be civil if you reach out to me I will reach out to you I am no a Sufi bawa I dont believe in Dua Tawiz I am not a holistic healer I cannot treat you at all.

I don't share my cell phone with strangers ..I have a Facebook page you can contact me but as I said I cannot solve your problems you have to solve them yourself..

Most of the people doing Dua Tawiz for money are nothing but fucking cheats ,,

So have a good day

Words of my Christian Guru late Fr Stephan Nazareth Wodehouse Road Cathedral.

The world is full of darkness so we must shine
You in your corner me in Mine ,

How To Manage Your YouTube Channel

I started my YouTube channel in 2008 I had just two videos I did not know how to shoot videos I swore by still photography ..I did not want to change ..I had changed from analogue to Digital.

My wife cribs as I still have my slides negs prints etc.. I have no heart to throw them out

I was inspired by video shooting watching my friends Fo Paris and Boaz Rottem who were documenting Moharam Ashura in Hyderabad with me 2012 I think..

The person who tutored me into videos was this whizkid Assad Dadan..he gave me tips .

The first thing I did was add Window Movie Maker and began making slideshows of my archives that were stored on my DVDS a huge Himalayan task I bought a DVD recorder and began uploading my finished work to Youtube ,

I did not know video editing I shot my videos mostly on my cell phone .

I first made playlists ..Shiasm Sufism Hope Hindutva than sub sets Naga Sadhus Malangs Khamakhya Street Photograpy.. my Garbage series of Bandra ..Muslim Beggars Hijras ..

As my videos were sensitive blood curdling I shut my Comment Box choked it as I cannot handle trolls mostly rabid Muslims who abused me for Shia Sufi videos calling it heresy bidat ..A healthy comment would have been fine but what they unleashed was bad words ugly language

I was certainly not a Muslim like them I was a photographer a documentarist amateur hobbyist showcasing diverse Faith Rituals Traditions of India
.
I was not a Muslim Shia or Sufi channel I posted mostly Hindu stuff that also got on their goats I dressed as a Hindu..and I told my late Naga Guru if I was not circumsized I would take off my clothes and take the dip in the Sangam.. So I had to moderate my dress code and my thoughts with the Naga Sadhus .

Well it was Assad who told me to use Cards I did than got tired but I liked End Screen Annotations I used the template for 2 videos and one subscriber ..this helped a lot .

My YouTube was linked to Twitter and Google +

I was given 2 penalty strikes one a Naga video shot at Kamakhya in 2016 and a Hijra video without nudity or exual intimacy .

So I age restricted most of my naked Naga Sadhu videos of Ling Kriya penile yoga and a few of my Hjra videos .

I age restricted videos of my Kama Mata during Moharam..and even vides of children doing Kama Matam.

I strictly follow YouTube dos and donts terms and regulations .

I had earlier deleted content I posted on YouTube Community tab for targeted harassment abuse and trolling ,,

I have given the community tab another chance ..not easy I moderate the comments and there are more vicious trolls on Youtube than Twitter

Recently Assad came home gave me another tip using 3 hashtags in the body post of my video description ,, so I began doing that and it is tough I have over 4220 videos ,,at the same time I am also reviewing my old videos adding tags changing titles .

I am not crazy about subscribers I follow just a handful.

But I must shoot a video ...it has become more important than my photography ,I hardly use my DSLR unless it is photo shooting a religious feast or big event ,,

I dont have money or resources to join a editing school..

And luckily shooting Aghoris my new documentary I have no issues of nudity ..LOL
