Hasan Minhaj is one of the legion of today’s painfully unfunny “comedians” who think that repeating Leftist talking points and mocking their opponents is “comedy.” Here he takes on the TV series “Bodyguard,” claiming it is “Islamophobic.” (“Islamphobia,” let us remember, is a smear propaganda term designed to intimidate people into fearing to oppose jihad mass murder and Sharia oppression.)
The creator and writer of “Bodyguard,” Jed Mercurio, has responded to such criticism apologetically, while standing his ground: “Unfortunately… the principal terror threats in the UK do originate from Islamist sympathisers. I do understand that’s different from the religion of Islam, but it’s the reality of who the perpetrators are of the majority of the offenses.”
It is glaringly obvious that “the principal terror threats in the UK do originate from Islamist sympathisers,” and astonishing that this point would even be in dispute, but that is a manifestation of the degenerated state of the public discourse today, and of the effectiveness of the Left’s relentless propaganda about “right-wing extremists.” Mercurio, in stating this obvious point, has to protect himself from the Thought Police of Theresa May’s shabby little police state by adding in the caveat: “I do understand that’s different from the religion of Islam.”
Yes, everyone among the political and media intelligentsia is absolutely certain that Islam is a religion of peace. The only people who remain unconvinced are, unfortunately, the jihad terrorists, whose exegesis of the Qur’an and Sunnah has never been effectively answered by “moderate Muslims.”
“Netflix comedian Hasan Minhaj attacks Bodyguard’s ‘Islamophobia,'” by Elizabeth MacLeod, Telegraph, November 12, 2018:
Former Daily Show correspondent and American comedian Hasan Minhaj has called out the supposed ‘Islamophobia’ in hit series Bodyguard on his political comedy show, Patriot Act, both of which air on streaming service Netflix….
Minhaj compared the depiction of Muslim people in Bodyguard to Ryan Zinke, Trump’s Secretary of the Interior, exploiting, yet claiming to value protected federal land in the US.
…Minhaj jokes “you can’t idolise Teddy Roosevelt and destroy the environment… that’s like Netflix having the first Muslim talk show host and Bodyguard.”
The comedian doesn’t back down, pondering “[Bodyguard] is so good, you almost forget about the Islamophobia… You still taste it though, a little bit. ‘Why does he have to be so close to the bomb?’ But the drama is so gripping,” the comedian singing in conclusion, “oh, to be white!”
…In response to criticism, Mercurio told Radio Times in September, “Unfortunately… the principal terror threats in the UK do originate from Islamist sympathisers. I do understand that’s different from the religion of Islam, but it’s the reality of who the perpetrators are of the majority of the offenses.”

YES, Mr. HASAN MINAJ ! Islam is a terroristic DEATH CULT … proof from its own PRIMARY SOURCE TEXTS :
Koran 3.151 We will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve, because they set up with Allah that for which He has sent down no authority, and their abode is the fire, and evil is the abode of the unjust.
Koran 8.12 When your Lord revealed to the angels: I am with you, therefore make firm those who believe. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them.
Koran 8.60 Make ready for them all thou canst of (armed) force and of horses tethered, that thereby ye may TERRORIZE the enemy of Allah and your enemy, and others beside them whom ye know not. Allah knoweth them. Whatsoever ye spend in the way of Allah it will be repaid to you in full, and ye will not be wronged.
Koran 17.60 We put terror (and warning) into them, but it only increases their inordinate transgression!
Sahih Muslim 1062 “I have been made victorious by terror (in the hearts of enemies): spoils have been made lawful to me; the earth has been made for me clean and a place of worship; I have been sent to all mankind; and the line of prophets is closed with me.”
JW_Reader says
HASAN MINAJ is just playing to the Umma… he is doing his part to propagate Islam and sugar coat the evil ideology. I do not think, Mr Minaj knows much about his religion or read the quran in its entirety. As soon as he does, he will grow beard, stop telling jokes and preach hatred just like Anjem Choudhury of UK.

Everything is a PHOBIA THESE DAYS, RIGHT ISLAM?

I don’t know anything about the guy, or what he actually believes. But…I do know that if he ever opened his mouth and simply say, ‘yes it is sad that muslims believe and do murder non muslims and for that I am ashamed’ he very likely knows his arse would be on the list of muslims wacked and taken out by his Jihadist muslim brothers. That is what I imagine runs thru his head as he peddles the loveliness of Islam to others. It’s an ‘or else’ situation, and he’s likely a run of the mill coward who lives off the islamophobia bit for his livelihood.
gravenimage says
I don’t think his main audience is the Ummah–instead, it is clueless dhimmi fools.
DM says
I came here for this very reason, but you’ve done the work for me. Thanks. My goodness, when are we going to wake up to what this religion, culture, cult represents? And, good grief, are they masters of playing the victim in order to shame their victims? Talk about gaslighting. It’s a despicable religion / philosophy. The residents of the western world are utter chumps in this equation … and the Muslims sure know it. We are philosophically weak and they are feeding on it. Once again, invaders from the dark ages are ruining your world. The future is yours. Stand up or die.
John Hawk says
“Stand up or die.”
Unfortunately, most of Western Europe couldn’t stand up to Islam with two crutches and a construction crane.
mortimer says
The purpose of the ISLAMOPHOBIA SLANDER is to deceive people about Islam’s authentic JIHADIC TERROR DOCTRINE.
Islamophobia is a “DEFINIST FALLACY” or a Strawman Fallacy or a distraction strategy, a table-turning propaganda term, a Frankenword, a Cheap Shot or Conflation or Righteousness Fallacy or a Question-begging strategy to distract people from observing the worst and most violent form of religious bigotry today… which is JIHADIC terrorism, and especially, to silence debate about JIHADIC terrorism.
ISLAMOPHOBIA is a custom-made word whose purpose is to disarm non-Muslims ideologically leaving them IDEOLOGICALLY DEFENSELESS against JIHADISM.
ISLAMOPHOBIA is a verbal TRICK designed to make people feel it is immoral to discuss JIHADIC TERRORISM, and to brush off their valid concerns about terrorism.
(BTW, all jihad is political aggression!)
Islamophobia is a slanderous term custom-designed by the Muslim Brotherhood to silence people who oppose jihad terrorism and discriminatory, Bronze-Age Sharia law.
Islamophobia is a PROPAGANDISTIC TERM, and an ILLOGICAL TERM created to DENY that JIHAD TERRORISM is an AUTHENTIC PART of Islam.
el Cid 2 says
A phobia is an unfounded morbid fear. Fear of Islamic violence is not unfounded..
Peter A says
‘Islamophobia’
A control word used by Muslims and the Left to try and silence and shout down any criticism of Islam by inferring that there is something wrong with you.
A phobia is an irrational hatred or fear. There is nothing irrational about fearing or rejecting Islam which is a violent, divisive, backward, supremacist and intolerant ideology.
It wants complete control over your life, including punishment for challenging or rejecting its authority.
Women, Jews, gays and non-believers have good reason to fear islam, it has a track record of actual violence, and threats of violence to anyone who dares to challenge or criticise it.

Agree… this guy has no comedy in his routine … this is disguised propaganda, pure and simple … you would not know it is in any way ‘comedic’ without the laughtrack.
It is a painful, belligerent attack on good Americans. Who pays this fellow? Even the Leftards wouldn’t invite him back.

This is a very elaborate, slick propaganda film, disguised as comedy.
Robert Carrillo says
Yep! Everything is “Islamophobic and racist”..
Thant’s the ticket! …and the deflection excuse for ALL of their anti-everyone-but-themselves inhumanity crimes and barbarism, and DAILY behavior all around the world.
“Yea…That’s the ticket!” Excuses… And not any condemnation at all.. Not one word of it!
Just replace “The Jews”, The “Catholics” – those madcap “Presbyterians”, “LCMS Lutherans and Methodists – and Hindus – or those LDS madmen, and more, involved in all the terrorism, and BARBARISM throughout the world, and see if anyone bats an eye of astonishment or surprise. …Go ahead, I’m waiting..
Again…”Yea…That’s the ticket!” Excuses..!. And not any condemnation at all.. Not one word of it!
This IS a BRUTAL POLITICAL IDEOLOGY, masquerading as a religion, and hiding behind OUR US Constitution, and OUR Bill of Rights, and NOW sick and twisted non-humor, as cover for all of the above and more.

This guy is painful to watch ,if he was a average non-Moslem “comic” I think people would walk out.

His shows are mostly attended by virtue-signalling dhimmis. I don’t think they care if he is actually funny.
somehistory says
More of the “white” stuff. Sure, he’s a comedian and his entire “show” is a big joke. But not a bit funny.
Happy will be the day when islam is no more and its adherents and supporters have nothing to defend from justifiable criticism.
Rarely says
Linguistics.. We say “terrorism”, they say “resistance”.
Islam is a “Religion of Resistance”.
“Resisting” a state of peace and tranquility wherever islamists live is their obligation. The actual violent acts are just a manner of self-expression by those of them who are “insane” don’t you know? The sane islamists just rape and assault. It’s just a different view of the World. After all “diversity is our strength”. “Inclusion” is our motto.
Where is your tolerance?
Westman says
Watching this “comedy” video, I became more convinced that the common CURRENT goal of the fellow travelers of radical feminism, progressive globalism, leftism, and jihad sympathizers is the push to replace real, unemasculated, men of the West with government. (Watch Camille Paglia for this quote)
Of course, once the West consists of government-emasculated men, who no longer protect women or freedom, Islam will be enabled to make its move to replace government – and eliminate its old fellow travelers.
In the last episode of the UK TV series, Bodyguard, the mentally-tortured war veteran, David Budd, finally goes to the government social counselor and tells her, “I need help”. This is an obvious tip by writer Mercurio to the same people who keep saying “Islam is peaceful” to soften their SJW criticism of the show. It strangely makes some sense – if jihadists can be excused for “mental illness” then why not movie characters who show aggression towards any Muslim as part of a script plot?
James Lincoln says
Westman, you are correct.
This process is already happening in Sweden. They currently have a feminist Islamophilic government that will eventually be replaced by an Islamic theocracy.
Very, very sad.

Muslim comedians?
Oh no..no..I don’t think so.
allah won’t approve. Like allah’s hatred of female singers[“the song of a songstress”},music and musical instruments,that’s a joke too far.As that authority on islam,the great man himself famously said..
“There are no Jokes in islam.There is no humor in islam.There is no fun in islam”
Ayatollah Khomeni
{it’s a little known fact that ..shortly after he said that,he fell off his camel,fell head first into a barrel of forbidden alcohol,slipped on a banana peel,which propelled him into the air and threw him into a pig stye where he was bitten on the butt by a pig called moshe}
{Ya see?Isn’t infidel humor superior?Especially if it is Jewish-Irish?You know it is!}
islam and allah do not like comedy so there is no point pretending.
And that’s why there are no world-famous Shite Iranian comedians..and since it is hard to have a music band without musical instruments and female singers,no famous Shite Iranian bands either
Is it too soon after the 7th cent for an islamic musical:The Life of Brian Muhammed?
Singing,dancing girls,music,art,Jewish/Christian/Hindu actors:Well,there’ll be none of that.. obviously.
I’m writing the screen play…and i’ll need an actor who won’t mind wearing a dress,drink camel wee and be clinically insane ….for the role of the “prophet”,the Perfect Man.It should be easy enough to find someone who satisfies those criteria in lefty Hollyweird.
Also,a cast of…millions……………..of victims of islam..will be required..
Jews,Christians,Buddhists,Ex-muslims,Atheists,Gays,Hindus..

Thanks for that link, livingengine. That describes Muslim “humor” in a nutshell.
infidel says
I have said it before here and I’m repeating it again. This in itself is another TRUISM from the annals of the infidel:
It does not make an iota of difference to the host infidel society even if an individual Muslim is a top superstar in his realm. As long as he is part of the UMMA or Kaum, his actions will ALWAYS be (covertly and many times SHOCKINGLY overt) for the advancement of parasitic Islam in the host infidel society. And even all the love of his non-Muslim Khafir fans will not make any dent in his resolve to advance Islam. That is also the expectation from the wider Islamic community to which he has his TRUE allegiance and NOTHING in the world… EVEN THE HOST COUNTRY’s HIGHEST CIVILIAN HONOR in his name will shake that… And just because one Muslim is shining in an infidel nation and is darling of the Khafirs WILL NOT MAKE A SHIT DIFFERENCE TO JEHAAD by his extremist brothers..
infidel says
And this leads to another corollary … Even if the so called Muslim Superstar in the infidel land is a TRUE LIBERAL and RESPECTS all cultures and is not a mad Islamic fanatic, HE WILL ONLY BE A ROLE MODEL FOR THE INFIDELS, many of them, esp the naive Infidel young lib women who will drool over him and make him the PROUD representative of all Muslims. Little do they know, that such a liberal Muslim WILL NEVER BE ACCEPTED as role-model by the greater Islamic Ummah and such a Muslim will be labelled SHIRK. And this terrorism against Khafir will continue unabated. A CLASSIC example in this regard is India’s own former President.. the late Dr Abdul Kalam.. who was a TRUE MODERATE and who LOVED HINDU CULTURE, And today, not a single Indian Muslim hold him as their role-model.. It is only the foolish Hindus who celebrate this man and MISTAKENLY hold him as a rep for the entire Muslim community. Once again, the PAINFUL REALITY that Muslims like Osama Bin Laden are the TRUE ROLE-MODELS for most Muslims ESCAPES THEM..
infidel says
Most Indian Muslims do not give a damn about former President the late Dr Kalam also because he always focused on JOBS, TECH, PROGRESS, SCIENCE and was aptly called as the MISSILE MAN of India as he was the head of Missile research at India’s DRDO.. Defence Research. But since he spoke of progress and science, Muslims never have the time him or for his copious books on these matters because MUSLIMS ARE NOT INTERESTED IN SCIENCE AND PROGRESS…Not a single Muslim leader, the world over, speaks of these things..

I watched Hasan manhaj stand up comedies on Netflix indeed it’s funny but sometimes due to his leftist stance while doing comedy is quite irksome
