Actual “Islamophobic” hate crimes are so thin on the ground that they have to be fabricated.
“Four disappointing revelations about Hasan Minhaj’s ’emotional truths,'” by Nardos Haile, Salon, September 15, 2023 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
…But in The New Yorker profile, Minhaj’s golden-boy image is tainted by fabrications or what he calls “emotional truths” in his comedy. Basically, the comedian is not really concerned with relating faked events that he claims are true in his sets as long as the emotional truth is what is genuine and lands for the audience….
Here are four of the most disappointing revelations about Hasan Minhaj’s “emotional truths” profile:
In Minhaj’s 2022 Netflix standup special, “The King’s Jester” he tells the story of an FBI informant who infiltrated his family’s mosque in 2002. Minhaj paints the picture of an athletic white man named Brother Eric who converted to Islam to gain the trust of and embed himself in the Sacramento Muslim community. Minhaj supposedly had Brother Eric pegged as a fraud from the start and even told him a tale to take back to the FBI, which supposedly led Minhaj to be roughed up by the police against the hood of a car. But all of these claims were fake.
It turns out that Brother Eric was indeed an FBI informant in Muslim communities pretending to be a personal trainer. His real name was Craig Monteilh, and he told The New Yorker that Minhaj’s claims aren’t true. “I have no idea why he would do that,” said Monteilh, who was in prison in 2002, and didn’t begin to work for the FBI on counterterrorism measures until 2006. Furthermore, he said he had only worked in Southern California, not in the Sacramento area….

It must be hard being a muslim comedian since,as ayatollah khomeini once famously said ‘there are no jokes in islam’ …apart from the jokes that muhammed was an actual prophet,the koran has no mistakes in it and is perfectly preserved and of course,the best joke of all:islam is a religion of peace.Geddit?Boom-kaka BOOM.

Infidels are so much better at comedy.
The koran is perfectly preserved in the same way that a set of encylopedias with half the volumes missing is a complete and perfect set.
A convert to islam is like a man who buys a set of square tires but later realizes that that a square tire just won’t work.
“allah knoweth all things” boasts the koran:except for all the things allah knoweth not ..like Astronomy,Biology,Christian Theology,what Jews believe
islam is the fastest growing cult they say:and the koran is the fastest disintegrating holy book in world history:What was holy is now holey.

Thanks for reporting. I read the New Yorker piece, and as the line above notes, “Four disappointing revelations about Hasan Minhaj,” it reads as though his entire routine is lies. I don’t know his comedy, but we recognize the pattern. Woe is innocent victim me.
His lies led to the widespread persecution of a girl he fancied, but who refused him, and he doesn’t seem even a little remorseful. At least she knows how wise she was to refuse him.

comedy…the real thing…is funny. To hear poor little me lies aren’t. I wouldn’t listen to this mozlum.
mozlums are too arrogant to be funny. In mpov, it’s much like foul language and that’s not funny, either.
“comedy” is not like it once was; it was once funny.

There’s no such thing as a moslem comedian. Moslems aren’t funny, ever.
Unknown guy says
Hassan Minhaj and Mehdi hassan always criticise every other religion and culture except Islam. Hypocrites of the highest order.
