Celebrity Muslim Aziz Ansari Finds Mecca of Comedy in Terrorism Jokes

Has 9/11 really become just a punchline for today’s youth? One comedian seems to think so, launching a career on television, the internet and now movies with a dark and often questionable sense of gallows humor. The person in question is Muslim entertainer Aziz Ansari. While the name may be unfamiliar to you, his face is becoming more and more common in American media today. He is the star of the NBC sitcom, “Parks and Recreation” as well as a frequent guest on a number of talk shows. The substance of his comedy is comprised of agitated rants against American consumer culture, without a shred of humility or pathos. He loves to poke fun at our experiences of terrorism, whether it’s minimizing the danger of Osama Bin Laden, mocking the security measures of the Guantanamo Bay facility, or finding cheap humor in the harrowing stories of US hostages in Honduras. Ansari combines this with an overtly lascivious personality, extolling lust towards blond, white women with an almost narcotic intensity. It has become increasingly hard to separate the television personality of Mr. Ansari from the real life Islamic advocate.
In “Parks and Recreation,” Mr. Ansari plays an employee strategically placed in a bureaucratic government agency. He is lazy and corrupt, sneaking every opportunity to sleep or gamble his days away. The show feels like a bad knockoff of “Seinfled” filmed with cheap cameras. The actors never rise above the amateurish, awkwardly staring directly into the camera and speaking with a nervousness they can’t hide. It’s enough to make audiences cringe. In addition, the plots always seems to afford Mr. Ansari some opportunity to spend time around scantily-dressed blond women, and gives him ample time to recap his physical desires afterward.
“Parks and Recreation” was summed up brilliantly recently by the New York Times as a, “summer camp for lightweight one-liners.” Despite this, his character has gained some popularity among disaffected male teens and twentysomethings today. This is in part due to street slang language he employs which younger people find “cool.” He also benefits from the built-in support of the Arab-American tv watching community. When the show began to flounder in the ratings last year, the ever-resourceful Ansari picked a fight with the popular FOX crime series, “Bones.” He famously quipped about the hit FBI drama, “You know why they call that show ’Bones,’ right? Because it should be buried. Oh snap!” The fraudulent feud never really gained momentum as viewers ultimately questioned Aziz Ansari’s sincerity in the whole affair.
In his personal life, Aziz Ansari associates with rap singers Kanye West and R. Kelly, one a known anti-government activist, the other an ex-convict. In the aftermath of 9/11, security agencies were fearful that Muslim extremists would turn to the African-American community for new recruits. Coincidentally enough, watching the comedian’s agitated rants is eerily reminiscent of a YouTube cleric. Ansari is also known to be a frequent internet user and a technical expert (he originally came to New York City to train as an engineer). The hairsuit Arab has used this to his advantage, building up a captive audience on the web through popular websites such as Twitter and MySpace.
Many might find Ansari’s calculated attempts to insert himself in the lives of American’s young people disconcerting. He has an obvious disrespect for authority figures, as shown in his tv roles and personal life. He has been a frequent critic of American culture and seeks out young people (both female and male) to surround himself with. The slothfulness which he loves to portray is another unhealthy characteristic of this comic’s persona. In a day and age when the United States economy is suffering, we need our young people to be inspired to dream and aim for the stars! We need the next generation to learn that hard work is essential to our survival as a nation and that we cannot handle success without a fully-formed ethical consciousness. But is this perpetually unshaven, lazy man an acceptable role model? He has slumped down in every chair he has ever sat in. He seems obsessed with recruiting people half his age into his orbit. And what is his ultimate goal here in the United States?
As one of America’s most visible Islamic television personalities, Aziz Ansari has a responsibility to prove himself to his adopted country. He has a responsibility to be a role model not only to Muslim-American youths, but also to Americans in general. He could be that thoughtful and vigilant patriot whose allegiance is clearly to his country, not to the radical elements of his faith. He could be the hero who shows teens it’s cool to fight terror. He needs to convince his fellow believers that being a US citizen carries obligations and that closing your eyes to threats against this country is immoral, weak and at times against the law. This can be a difficult task. Would you choose your mother over your country? Would you choose your Arab heritage over the heritage and beliefs of the United States? This is a challenge that many in the Muslim community face every day, as radical elements fundraise, recruit and do even worse on our soil. Yet the Arab-American should be America’s greatest asset in the war on terror. They should be keeping the government abreast of the questionable activities and loose talk of their brethren. Self-policing is an important aspect of any thriving and visionary culture. Unfortunately, Ansari continues to be notoriously silent on issues such as these. This ultimately begs the question, when this man’s true intentions are revealed, will it be too late?

1. Aziz Ansari’s family hails from India, therefore he is not Arab-American nor is he of Middle Eastern origin.
2. Being born in South Carolina, America is not Ansari’s adopted country. It is his country. He is a native citizen of the United States. In fact, he’s a “good, ‘Ol Southern Boy.”
3. The picture you have is of the actor Kal Penn, not Ansari. If you watched Parks and Recreation and/or completed thorough research to provide the truth in your article, you would know what Ansari looks like. There is no way you completed even a simple search of Ansari without finding an accurate picture of him on the internet.
Why should we believe what you say? It seems like you do not fact check your work nor do you report the truth.

Now what you people need to do is a little research. Just because they are brown, does not mean they are the same. Every human being is an individual. What still bothers me is that people get Indians and Arabs mixed up. They look completely different, we just get some image that all arabs and indians are brown and look the same.

after reading all of this all i really got was :”i’m racesist and i don’t understand comedy”
but lets look at a few critical points
“The substance of his comedy is comprised of agitated rants against American consumer culture, without a shred of humility or pathos.”
i’m sorry but he’s a comedian not a political figure what the fuck does pathos have to do with anything here? pathos is to apeal to peoples feelings. what would that serve? and humility? well it’s not a part of his routine to be humble he’s not exactly selfrightous either. unlike some other people we know(hint hint).
“The actors never rise above the amateurish, awkwardly staring directly into the camera and speaking with a nervousness they can’t hide.”
what does this have to do with anything? so he’s a bad person because he’s in a comedy show you find to be bad most likely because you do not understand the concept behind it.
“Ansari combines this with an overtly lascivious personality, extolling lust towards blond, white women with an almost narcotic intensity.”
so because he’s not white he can not find what society has decided is a good looking woman to be attracting. you are sugesting that non-white should only be together with other non-whites? god how racesist of you once again. if he finds blodes hot then fucking let him.
“The fraudulent feud never really gained momentum as viewers ultimately questioned Aziz Ansari’s sincerity in the whole affair.”
yes god forbid a comedian should ever say something as a joke right?
“In a day and age when the United States economy is suffering, we need our young people to be inspired to dream and aim for the stars!”
thats actually a really bad idea. what happenes if people with huge dreams try to realise them whille they can’t get the money to do so? thats right they will fail.
“He seems obsessed with recruiting people half his age into his orbit.”
nobody is recruiting anyone. he simply has a growing fanbase because he’s funny.
“And what is his ultimate goal here in the United States?”
what is your goal? huh? HUH?!?!?!
here’s an idea: maybe he just want’s to have ajob he likes earn some good money and then live a decent life following the values he belive in? wait no he has to be a terrorist right? i mean he’s not out screaming about how christianity is the only way to save the world and if you’re not doing that you must be a terrorist(or at least in leauge with them…or maybe just deluded to think they don’t exists but thats only if you’re white right?)
“He could be the hero who shows teens it’s cool to fight terror.”
makeing fun of terror is the best way to combat it. it’s only goal is to create fear. if you laugh at it it has failed misrably.
“He needs to convince his fellow believers that being a US citizen carries obligations and that closing your eyes to threats against this country is immoral, weak and at times against the law. ”
what threaths? seriously i’d guess he’s one of those sane people who don’t belive that america is at war with the world so why should he preach something he don’t belive?
“Would you choose your Arab heritage over the heritage and beliefs of the United States?”
what kind of weird paradox is this? to choce the islamic belif while not enforcing it on anyone, over a belif that says you can belive whatever you want?….my head hurts.
“Yet the Arab-American should be America’s greatest asset in the war on terror. They should be keeping the government abreast of the questionable activities and loose talk of their brethren. Self-policing is an important aspect of any thriving and visionary culture. Unfortunately, Ansari continues to be notoriously silent on issues such as these.”
i’m sorry but what reason do you have to belive that this man would know anything about terror plots? do you know something FBI don’t? thats like saying you’re white…you knew hitlers plans why didn’t you stop him? shame on you for not stoping hitler.
all in all this is nothing but a retardet hate speech against a man you disagree with. and as allways since you disagree you refuse to learn about it. because you don’t know about it you fear it. because you fear it you hate it. and because you hate it you refuse to learn about it. welcome back to the never ending cycle of ignorance.

Dear Jazzy,
Thank you for your comments. While I am flattered by your close reading of my text, you have made many errors which I feel obligated to clarify.
1) Any person, whether they be a religious figure or a media personality becomes part of the political process once they start taking very extreme political stands. Mr. Ansari has undoubtedly jumped in the fray with his underhanded dislike of all the wonderful things this country provides. Also, being a media celebrity makes him a perfectly acceptable figure for a newspaper profile such as this.
2) I pointed out the poor quality of the acting in Parks and Recreation as part of my tv reviewing responsibilities here on Christwire. The article is also a guide for the tv viewing audience.
3) We do need Americans to dream AND word hard to build a better future!
4) In regards to threats against the US. We have had many, many instances of terrorist groups recruiting, fundraising and even training on US soil. The FBI and CIA have intercepted many that we probably don’t even know about. Under President George Bush, this was a constant concern of this country’s national security team. It is a battle that still wages and puts the lives of every single American at risk.
5) I find your accusation that my article is “hate speech” both specious and hurtful. I was not the won who chose to attack the United States. That was the terrorists. I am only trying to approach this dilemma with logic and foresight. What I have said here in this news article has been repeated by many, many other experts in the field in the highest positions of government.
I am glad to be able to clear up your problems for you.

“You have a clear left wing bias”
Wow Billings, did you figure that out all by yourself? I NEVER would have thought of myself as being left wing, I mean, after all, you can’t get more right-wing than voting for Obama and Coakley, can you?
“It believe it’s due to the fact you’re still a teen, angry at adults, rebelling with clothes choices and internet facebooks, all trying to understand the big world out there.”
*sigh*, once again, you’re making assumptions, fatty. First of all, yes, I am still a teen, but I am not angry at adults. Considering how one of the biggest characteristics of teens who dislike adults is contempt towards parents. If you’re like me, and you cry whenever you can’t come home from school every weekend because you’ll miss your parents too much, if you still kiss your parents goodbye in public, then you have absolutely no anger towards adults. And I’m rebelling with clothes choices? Well, that’s something new, considering how my mom buys my clothes for me. I shop in the WOMEN’S section of the store, not the MISSES. There’s a huge difference, namely that the clothing in the women’s section isn’t designed for whores. And yes, I have a facebook, which I post ALL the pictures of my cats, of my beagle, and of the school’s new baby bunnies. Boy, what a rebel!
“But have faith, you will hopefully make something of yourself some day.”
Yes, because I’m in my second year of veterinary technician school just for shits and giggles…

I agree that the man , Aziz, is a sheep in wolf’s clothing. He is infiltrating himself within the holy flock of the Lord- the United States of America, grounded on One God. And I might add, not the muslim god of those Arab hethens.
The youth of America look up to this man while never knowing where he falls in the underground terrorist movement. He should be removed from television, not glorified and popularized.

1. let’s try again then. pathos is a retorical thing used to make people agree with you. a comdians goal is not to make them agree but to make them laugh. a far better thing to use for that is logos which he uses plenty of. he isn’t trying to build a political carrer so pathos is useless and humility serves him no purpose.
2. no you pointed out that you didn’t understand the concept. it’s like me makeing a review over the bible and complain that there’s a shitty build-up of tension and that thye climax sucks and a lack of charecter devlopment in jesus. i may be right but it has shit to do with the point of anything.
3. i have allready explained why dreaming can be a bad idea in these times. ofcourse it does depend on how big your dream is and if you wait with trying to realise it until you actually have the resources.
4.you made the asumption that every muslim has detailed information that could lead to the aprihention of osama bin laden and stoping the taleban but they are simply with holding it. and thats retartdet. thats like me asumeing you know all of the secret plans of the vaticant. well you can get your terror info when you tell us about what the vaticant is up to these days.
5.”I was not the won who chose to attack the United States.”
maybe not but i was however your choice to attack aziz ansari.
also what reason do you have to asume that he is a terrorist and that he poses a treath? you simply found a man that disagrees with you and as such you disliked him and wrote a rant about he’s a bad man. that’s a hate speech in my book. do you think i fell bad for hurting you? fuck no you deserve it. treat others like you wanna be treated. and before you go on about how you have nothing but love in your heart: YOU WERE THE ONE POSTING AN ARTICLE ABOUT HOW A SINGLE COMDIAN IS AN EVIL PERSON!!! if you do not consider that to be the least bit hurtful then i will cnsider it unfair that you were hurt. btw if thats the case i’d like to know since i’ll have an article to write about you.

I find your nonchalance about the inaccurate photo accompanying your article quite disturbing from a journalistic standpoint. The man pictured IS Kal Penn, associate director of the White House office of public liaison. The fact that you haven’t corrected the mistake after multiple people have pointed out the error to you is perhaps even more troubling. As a journalist, I’m sure you’re familiar with the importance of credibility and transparency, not to mention fact-checking before publication. Your failure to catch this simple error, especially after you claim to have spent time watching the show in which Aziz Ansari appears, and your negligence in acknowledging the error deeply undermines your credibility as the “journalist” you claim to be. Any freshman in any J-school could tell you that much.

Who in the world are you to make such a fuss about “integrity”? My integrity is intact and I have no worries about that. As for the photo, it’s distracting you people from the general truth of my reporting. Why can’t you just think on that part and put your hand over the photo if you find it so offensive and terrible? You people really are crazy. And you don’t know anything about the internet. It is incredibly difficult to change something that has been published on the web. Once it’s done, it’s out there forever. You just can’t go in there and muddle things around. How would that work for the integrity of the New York TImes for instance? Whenever someone questioned something wrong in their reports, they could always sneak back in and change things and then say, “hmmmm… I don’t see anything wrong here.” The internet is made o publish things like this to protect the public and to protect the truth. You are merely doing a disservice to the public.

Mr. Billings, I work for a magazine and spend the better part of my Monday-Fridays writing for the web, so I know how exceedingly easy it is to go back and change something that has been published online. “Who I am” to question your integrity as a journalist is a fellow member of the field with a degree in our practice. Changing something inaccurate in a report online is similar to the way newspapers have done it in print all along; you don’t change the body of the text, you add an addendum to the beginning or end of the article preceded by the word “correction” or “update.” In the case of your photo, I would advise changing the image and adding to the body of the text something like “Note: The image that originally ran with this article was of Kal Penn, not e Aziz Ansari, about whom this article is written. We apologize for the mistake.”
An anecdote from my own life this week: I wrote an article about an upcoming release from a band I like and, relying on my own memory of their work, I included an error in my article. It didn’t affect the content of the article, but it was an error nonetheless. A commenter caught it, and my editor noticed before I did. He replied, thanking the guy who pointed out the mistake in the first place, double-checked to make sure I had indeed gotten it wrong, and changed the fact in the article. The documentation of the fact that an error was made and corrected is right there on the page with the story for anyone to see. It’s not sneaky to take steps, even after publication to make sure what you publish is true. It IS sneaky to leave something false on your publication when you know it’s false. It’s sneaky to tell your readers that it’s incredibly hard to change things after publication on the web when it’s actually much, much easier to do this online than it is in print. And print people still manage to do it: magazines and newspapers have a section at the front of the book that’s reserved for setting factual errors from the previous edition straight.
You mentioned protecting the truth, and I don’t see how you can do that by leaving a false statement published for others to read. I’m not suggesting that you change anything your readers ever say is wrong – you obviously deal with a lot of contention in your comments section. I am suggesting, however, that when someone points out a factual error, you take that seriously. You look it up yourself. Don’t ask your intern to do it, especially if he gave you the wrong photo in the first place. If you find out that a mistake has truly been made, take the time to rectify it in a transparent way that allows your readers the knowledge that you didn’t get it right the first time and that you’re being diligent that what you put out into the world isn’t misleading.
In our business, being convinced of your own integrity isn’t good enough. You’ve got to convince your readers, too – and not just the ones who agree with you, either.

Neither Kal Penn nor Aziz Ansari are Arabs. It seems that you are not only extremely ignorant, but also totally unwilling or unable to learn from your mistakes.
I mean, seriously, what kind of “journalist” refuses to post an admission of error and correction of such serious mistakes, including:
(a) the use of incorrect pictures of the subject of the article (picture is of Kal Penn, not Ansari);
(b) reference to incorrect religious beliefs (as I explain below, Ansari is not a Muslim);
(c) reference to incorrect citizenship status (i.e., Ansari is a natural born American, not someone who “adopted” US citizenship); and
(d) reference to incorrect ethnic heritage (Ansari is Indian, not Arab. And by the way, just fyi, Arabs are considered Caucasians for legal and census purposes in the US).
It is hard to imagine the cognitive dissonance required to write–without irony–an article about an individual’s background and motivations while using completely incorrect photographs and completely fabricated personal information.
By the way, Ansari stated in a recent interview with Rolling Stone Magazine that his parents are Muslim but he is an atheist. He essentially said Islam is not for him.
Try doing some research. How do you expect to form a thoughtful and defensible position if you’re starting out with factual inaccuracies?
Mr. Billings, I must ask: Are you simply a liar or just someone who is uninterested in the truth? Frankly, whichever is true, it is quite clear that you have embarrassed yourself. You should be ashamed of your blatant and indefensible prejudices.

Dear Sir,
Might I suggest you find a new intern who is actually capable of typing “Aziz Ansari” into google (with or without speech marks) and then clicking on the “images” option. Alternatively, you could even try doing this yourself, it’s really very simple.
However, just to save you those few seconds, here is the link to page 1 of the search results: http://www.google.com/images?hl=en&safe=off&rlz=1B2GGGL_enBE205BE205&q=aziz%20ansari&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi
Now I realise that due to the fact that both Messrs Penn and Ansari are from the Indian sub-continent may leave you unable to distinguish one from the other on account of their darker hued skin – but if you look closely, you will see that they are in fact separate individuals.
You are theoretically correct in stating that Christwire is a “Christian Website”. However, like so many of the religious right, you appear to base your faith on the teachings of the Old Testament rather than the messages in the New Testament. Given that the latter includes the teachings of Christ upon which the Christian faith is derived, it might be argued that you are not in fact a Christian. Christ preached a message of peace, understanding, reconciliation, compassion and tolerance – this in part led to his being martyred as these concepts were revolutionary and in stark contrast to the staple religious text of the time. Where is your understanding and tolerance? Just because you disagree with another individual’s beliefs or opinions doesn’t permit you as a Christian to condemn them. Ansari is an American – I believe of Sri Lankan origin – and nothing I have ever seen of him indicates that he is an antagonist or anti-American. He comments on modern society (however distasteful to you that may be) and generally points out how ridiculous much of the current media culture is.
You criticise him for his association with R. Kelly and Kanye West. Unless I’m mistaken, Mr. Ansari is free to associate with whomever he chooses, as are you and I. In actuality, my recollection of his relationships with West and Kelly are that he pokes fun at them too. R. Kelly for example he described on Jimmy Kimmel as an amazing R&B singer “slash, crazy person”. Kanye West may have been anti the Bush administration, but let’s face it, by the end of President Bush’s second term you would have had difficulty finding people in the US who though the man was doing a good job. West is also a Christian, speaking in his release “Jesus Walks” about the hypocrisy of how radio stations were happy to play songs about murder, drugs and misogyny but as West commented “but if I talk about God, my record won’t get played?”.
To return once more to the key Christian theme of forgiveness and tolerance, I presume that you supported former President George W. Bush. That is a man publicly known to have abused both alcohol and cocaine, yet you forgave him for that. Why can you not be as accepting of other persons whose behaviour you may find abhorrent? As a last point the Muslim faith recognises Christ, not as the son of God, but as a Prophet. You see? You’re not so different after all. Next time you’re tempted to write another reactionary, ill-informed and poorly researched article, based I can only assume on what someone told you, reconsider and truly think about your faith and its teachings.

“The actors never rise above the amateurish, awkwardly staring directly into the camera and speaking with a nervousness they can’t hide.”
That’s the whole point of the show! I’ve only seen bits and pieces of it, but it’s made by the same people who made The Office. The idea of The Office is that the viewer is essentially an observer in the office life of these characters; that they know that you’re there and are almost being interviewed by you.

He’s right, “Bones” should be buried. It’s a cheesy, poorly acted, unrealistic ripoff of “The X-Files”. ‘Nuff said.

Actually, no. You’re the one who’s seeing Shat everywhere, saying that he has a vendetta against you personally, and calling every new person who pops up on here Shameful.
Just in case you’re confused about the definition of “paranoid,” here’s the good ol’ Merriam Webster for ya:
Main Entry: para·noid
Pronunciation: \ˈper-ə-ˌnȯid, ˌpa-rə-\
Variant(s): also para·noi·dal \ˌper-ə-ˈnȯi-dəl, ˌpa-rə-\
Function: adjective
Date: 1904
1 : characterized by or resembling paranoia
2 : characterized by suspiciousness, persecutory trends, or megalomania
3 : extremely fearful
Now, in a calm and rational manner (and by that, I mean not yelling at me in all caps that I need to calm down), explain to me how it is that I am paranoid, by that definition above, and you are not.
I eagerly await this response, because I’m anticipating a good, hearty Epic Face-Palm of Doom as only you, Stevie, can deliver.

Dear Sir or Madam,
I know very little about you since you are so worried and afraid about revealing yourself here. You are simply an antagonist, threatening, bullying, shouting whenever you get the chance. Nor are you a copy editor, I might add. Frankly, I don’t know where you get off slathering you wacko attacks all over me. What have I done to you? I have only opened my heart and shown the love deep there inside! I am on YOUR team! I wish you kids could understand that. There is so much we can experience hand in hand. But you must give that hand to me first. One of the wonderful experiences of my life is spending time with our littlest people, instructing and nurturing, directing and sometimes gently admonishing… I do this because I want to make this world (and yes this country!) a better place than I found it. Sadly, it is descending into the most unimaginable hardcore depths on a daily basis. The perversity and sanctimoniousness of our teens today is enough to… well, i don’t know hardly what, but there are little compound of faith we can wall up and try to build a shelter of insight therein. I hope to do that too, maybe plant some seeds in the children of tomorrow. Inside my walls, there we can watch over things. We can build outside of fears of the politcally correct police and jack boot feds and your other naysayers. Think and dream, my friend! I surely do. I do! So there you have it. I hope you take it and plant it like a flower. it shall bloom!

“Dear Sir or Madam,”
As I have continually referenced to the fact that I am of the male persuasion, I’m not sure exactly why you are confused about this, but moving on…
“I know very little about you since you are so worried and afraid about revealing yourself here.”
Yes, because I am the only one who does not use their real name on here. However, whenever I do talk about aspects of my personal life you accuse me of lying.
“You are simply an antagonist, threatening, bullying, shouting whenever you get the chance.”
Once again, Stevie, you are confusing me with you. Try pointing that accusatory finger at yourself for once instead of everyone else around you.
“Nor are you a copy editor, I might add.”
Actually, not only is that exactly what I do for a living, but so do my father and my sister. Sorry, Steve-o. Granted, out of the rest of the Christ-tards on here, you admittedly have the best sense of grammar, spelling and sentence structure, however when you’re running up against the likes of Abe and Amber, that’s really not saying very much…
“Frankly, I don’t know where you get off slathering you wacko attacks all over me. What have I done to you?”
To me, personally? Nothing. But your constant attacks on homosexuals and other “minorities” pisses me off, and so I call you out on your hypocrisy. And then you throw one of your little bitch fits and go pout in your bedroom, crying because nobody loves you.
“I have only opened my heart and shown the love deep there inside!”
“There is so much we can experience hand in hand.”
“But you must give that hand to me first.”
“One of the wonderful experiences of my life is spending time with our littlest people, instructing and nurturing, directing and sometimes gently admonishing…”
“I hope to do that too, maybe plant some seeds in the children of tomorrow.”
“Inside my walls, there we can watch over things.”
And you wonder why we all think you’re a gay pedophile? “Plant some seeds in the children of tomorrow,” Stevie? Honestly…
“Think and dream, my friend!”
As an aspiring author, I do dream quite a bit, though my dreams do not consist of camping trips with twelve year old boys all of whom just so happened to forget their swim trunks, so I guess by your standards I don’t dream after all.
“I surely do. I do! So there you have it. I hope you take it and plant it like a flower. it shall bloom! ”
See both of my last two comments for this one.
Here’s an idea, instead of “planting seeds” of intolerance, why don’t you instead take a page out of that certain book and “do unto others as you would have them do unto you?” How would you like it if some asshole came up to you on the street and told you that you were a sinner for loving the person you love, or because you’re of a different ethnic, social or political class? Like I said before, Stevie, try pointing your accusatory finger at yourself for once. Not that your over-inflated ego would ever allow it, but if you did I think you’d be surprised at what you found.

As for the paranoia aspects, I think by repeatedly calling me paranoid you made yourself look paranoid to the public at large. Definitely a Catch-22 there.

1) Yes, that’s why, in case you haven’t noticed, everyone else here is agreeing with me and disagreeing with you. I think we have different concepts on the meaning of “public at large.” Generally speaking, that would refer to the majority of the general population.
2) That’s not a Catch-22.
3) So, according to your logic, me calling someone paranoid when they are, as evidenced by the definition of paranoid, paranoid, that actually makes ME paranoid and not them?
That has got to be the DUMBEST thing you have ever said, Stevie. And that’s an accomplishment. By using that very same logic, you calling Aziz Ansari Muslim in fact makes you Muslim.

“I have only opened my heart and shown the love deep there inside!”
Oh yes, because saying things like this is just soooooo loving:
“I do not believe our Lord created people to be gay like you. Going to all night orgies and humping random young ethic men in inner cities while you cry and shout is not the best thing for your soul. You will not get into heaven in your leather boots and chaps, nor your wigs and eyeliner.”
“I am excited that you are impressed and overwhelmed by my insightful writing style, but I pray that you are finished raping your soul with weird backroom hookups and anmly nitrate, that you take a closer look and heed my words. They very well may save you from that nasty case of homosexuality you have come down with.”
“Can you imagine a life living with a loving wife and your very own offspring, having a real paying job (not dancing shirtless for filthy old men, nor selling antiques),”
“And no, I do believe your flamboyant and horrific lifestyle is anything to be proud of. Do you even have an idea the horrible realms of perverts and crossdressers out there ready to drug and rape you?”
“These good men of faith were tempted away from their wives or from their manhood by grotesque devils like yourself, in your eyeliner and fancy dresses or gym body physiques, hanging out in the steam rooms, ready to pounce on any normal man with a wedding ring. God created sex but he meant it to produce children, not fornicate wildly at rave orgies where young men are lured into the most depraved of sexual positions.”
“Marriage sex is quite different I should add from the random inner city depraved encounters you are most likely in love with. Does getting pounded by some non-English speaking hairy ape really improve your soul?”
“Well Jon, you sure are fast with your fingers. I’m sure that makes you many friends in the steam room, as my friend Janice would say. I do not know what types of offensive leather crossdressing whipping gear you hide in your closet, but thanks for filling me in. An actor in Washington? Is that some sort of gay code to mean you’re a hooker or a politician? Really, I can’t keep up with the slang of these fringe groups. And by the hairy ape reference, I meant to say that you most likely engage in some horrible and painful sex acts involving Arabs or Latins, who spank and violate you. Or else you’re doing it to them which is even worse.”
“You have chosen the homosexual lifestyle and now you must stew in that hotbed of horribleness. I do not want to know any more how your lure your “friends” into these orgies. Do you realize you are turning our sons and daughters to a life of sin, prosititution, drugs and liberalism?”
“Dear Chris, please put some clothes on a get a job. Being a swinger is so 1960s. Your corruption of America’s glorious young men is painful for me to even consider. I do not know what terrible thoughts prompted you to engage in the gay lifestyle, but pumping some poor ethnic man against a motel room wall will surely not get you into heaven. Nor will stripping down to your underwear in jumping into a dark dance party of naked girls. Or whatever combo of that filth you create. Maybe some day you will meet a nice woman that you’ll want to marry. How would she react is she knew your horrible secret? How will your children learn to be proud of a father who picks up truckers at highway reststops or bargains down Thai hookers from their standard $20 fee?”
“…the clan of gay lifestylists, where women gather in motorcycle packs to run down the elderly, where effeminate males prance around in ball gowns and eyeliner, where the most unspeakable sex acts are committed in online videos for the gays of all generations to witness, where the political activism of these horrible herd of hedonists threatens the oldest tradition in the world of Marriage and our very own American institution of Christian Freedom of Speech in schools, in politics and in the media.”
“Other issues demanded by the sex-crazed sodomizers: the right for a street twink to visit his rich “sugar daddy” in the hospital so he can pull the life support plug and inherit his estate, the legalization of public displays of affection and sodomy, and the right for gays to sneak into the military so they can leer at our handsome and virile fighting men. Now that the homosexuals have taken to voting and arming themselves, is there any doubt they may achieve these goals?”
“Like many contemporary gays, she also demands expensive dinners and presents from her “dates” and takes special pride in catching the rich ones.”
“Most gay relationships last a week.”
“Once again, Rose’s most salient trait was picked up and celebrated by the gay community. Every buff beefcake I’ve ever met has been tremendously brainless. They can bump out the beats to any Madonna song on a club railing, but are incapable of telling you the difference between Acapulco and an avocado. They lack the concentration to finish reading your text message, let alone a fantastic website article you may have forwarded to them. Most homosexuals love to gallop around a conversation, yammering out a bunch of big phrases to show you how smart they are. The truth is that if they slowed down for a minute you would see that the Lady Gaga references, truckstop handjob stories and Kevin Jennings defenses don’t add up to an intellectual argument. They’re just random phrases strung together by psychotropically-medicated, carnally-motivated ridiculous libertines glazed with moisturizer.”
“Today, as this crowd ages we have to wonder what comes next for the Golden Girl generation of American homosexuals. They’re turning 40 and 50 now. Their hair is thinning, their waistlines expanding, their cachet in the cultural scene is long past. Most have settled into heavily mortgaged condos or bungalows in gentrified neighborhoods, bitter at their mid-level jobs with zero hope of becoming a CEO to make their fathers proud. Many are too old at this point to be pursuing anonymous street pickups and have settled into caustic relationships that are only monogamous out of mutual laziness. Maybe they find weekend solace in amateur photography or an overly primped shit-zu.”
“Sorry that you can’t seem to comprehend that and feel the need to throw your homosexual slander my way. It just goes to show you the maturity level of your average gay, so obsessed with themselves they fail to see the harm they’ve done to society with their disgusting habits and offensive clothing styles. I pray your mother doesn’t cry too much for your debauched and perverted soul.”
“And I am not a gay basher, I just happen to think it’s an awful lifestyle choice.”
“John, dating four indulgently homosexual men a week is the most reprehensible thing I have ever heard. Whether they are bushy-chested beefsteaks or rambunctious twinks or your run of the mill internet power bottoms, it all adds up to moral and financial hell. Gay men are little courtesans, they require constant cash to keep them happy and I do not think you have a clue what you’ve gotten yourself into.”
“In my day, rump romping charades like this would be promptly raided by the police and the lot of you would be thrown in jail. Sadly, you kinds of sassy Sallys probably enjoy prison showers with tattooed Latinos. I cry for your mothers.”
“I would never appear in Palms Springs on February 4th. Surely this is some debauched set up for the types of gang rapes of honest heterosexuals that your fragrant gays often engage in. I will not submit my Christian body to your vile, endless desires and would not allow you to profit from whatever videos would inevitably ensue from such a raunchy encounter. I know you people are always videoing your intimate copulations for resale and while I cannot really understand it, I find it both unseemly and outrageous.”
“My dear fellow, clearly the vast amount of back alley intimate encounters and motel room intercourse, hard pounding as it is, has somehow muddled that precious little brain of yours. I am a decent and whole man and I enjoy all the fruits of heterosexuality- the glorious women, the great family life, the smiles of children (even though I am not married). Heterosexuals are better corporate leaders, sportsmen and politicians. Do you ever wonder why gays never make it to the top in these fields (no pun intended)? Well, there is something inherently virile and wondrous and handsome about a straight man, those gigantic forearms and hair-thick chests of our masculine brothers surely says something that God intended for us to be leaders, on top of the world. Peace be with you!”
“I’d rather not know too much about the nefarious and sticky ways of the gays, but it is something I have undertaken to do in service of my faith. The rest of Christendom needs to be aware of the dreadful, painful sexual things you lip-gloss wearing harlots do to each other in dark barroom backrooms, if only to protect our beautiful American boys from falling into the same trap. It is quite true that you people want nothing more to clutch the most wholesome of our jocks and wrap them in nonstop fornication. I am disgusted by you.”
“The way you flaming flamboyances lust after the manly juices of America’s strong jocks is undeniably vampiric. Do you were capes and only appear at night as well?”
“Your inept tirades might make you seem smart in your flaming peer group. But honestly, take a look around you: you’re surrounded by screeching gays whose deepest intellectual discussions have to do with Elton John’s hairpiece. Or else you’ve inserted yourself in the middle of a herd of hairy, shirtless immigrants who speak in grunts and howls while they violate unknown intimate parts in 6am basement parties. Are you really happy with this sort of life? It all sounds so painful and unrequited. Please don’t send me any photographs.”
“It is part of my beat as a Christian Investigative Journalist to keep track and study the homosexuals. By doing this, I am providing a service for the faithful. Personally, I am in no way attracted to your perverse, nonstop and shirtless lifestyle. I am a Heterosexual, if that wasn’t clear already. I find the overemphasis on phallic symbols, the bright-colored clothing, the dreadful club music and especially the incredible amount of sodomy just disgusting.”
“Claire, I have to be insistent! I am trying to help these people, they don’t realize how nasty that homosexual lifestyle truly is. Where would people like these be without my help? What kind of human being would I be if I turned a blind eye to their suffering and sodomy?”
There are way, way more examples of your so-called “love”, but it’s almost midnight and I have to be practicing my blood draws and injections at 10 tomorrow.

Claire, some day when I’m gone you people will be quoting my insights… I can’t believe I wrote all that (are you sure?) but I truly stand by the content of those thoughts. I could go point by point why each and every statement is profoundly true, but it might end up sounding like some treatise on homosexual depravity. I really would rather not drench myself in that much debauchery in one day. And I find it interesting that you pick out all my insights into gay lifestyles. Why display that here? I do not believe Mr. Aziz is a homosexual (in fact, he seems to yearn deep inside for blond women) so maybe you’re just confused?
One of the first thing I’m going to have Ambiguous do when he starts on his internship is to gather up all your outrageous and mean-spirited quotes for me. I will then cut and paste them whenever you go on one of your little feminine rants. Hopefully this won’t be beyond his skillset (there’s always a learning curve with the young men).
In any event, I still think you have a lot to learn, though I do sincerely appreciate that you remember so much of my writing! If there’s a chance anyone would ever start a fan club for me, my guess it would be founded by you, Claire. Well best wishes!

Though they do count men such as Glenn Beck and Mitt Romney among their followers.

As an Arab-American I feel nothing but offended by this. Of course I will side with Aziz Ansari party because of heritage, but at the same time, I also feel as if he is no less harmful than some white, Christian comedians.
I think you, as an old, white, Christian man have missed Ansari’s humour completely. Fortunately, you are not included in his target audience.
People like you give Christianity a bad name. You target everything that’s different from what you believe in, and it gives people the impression that all Christians are like this, when in fact they are not.
Thank you for putting such a biased spin on this comedian. He has quite a following, and that’s because people purely enjoy his comedy. (Most of those people being young adults, which are his target audience.)
Most comedians are careless in their acts. In order to appeal to today’s society, the majority of it (so, not ultra-conservative, right-wing bats like you), comedians have to style their acts to ensure that they’ll MAKE MONEY. Which, I don’t know if you know, but comedians make jokes for money. The more tickets they sell, the more money they make. The funnier and more relateable they are, the more tickets they sell.
Though I am an Arab-American, I’m a Christian. And though I love Christ, and what he stands for, Christians like you make me sick and ashamed.
Thank you for making me feel like you were personally attacking my culture and background. You got an A+ in that field, even if it wasn’t your intention.
There’s such thing as loving God and spreading his word, and then there’s also taking it too far. And you have taken it past that point. You’re just attacking people and pop culture for no reason other than YOU being personally offended by it. That is no reason to generalize and make shit up about the TV show (Glee, do not get me started on that, because all hell will break loose, I swear) or comedian.
Do your research properly next time, and you might be surprised at what you find. Some of these people you attack are genuinely good, up-standing citizens of our country. And they do a hell of a lot better at showing it than you do.

“Claire, some day when I’m gone you people will be quoting my insights…”

“I can’t believe I wrote all that (are you sure?)”
Yes, you did. I would have posted the links to the articles, but if I had my comment would have been in moderation for 10 years before finally getting posted.
“And I find it interesting that you pick out all my insights into gay lifestyles. Why display that here? I do not believe Mr. Aziz is a homosexual (in fact, he seems to yearn deep inside for blond women) so maybe you’re just confused?”
Although they didn’t relate to the article itself, they’re hard evidence against your claim that you “showed us the love in your heart” or whatever crap that was that you spewed several posts back.
“One of the first thing I’m going to have Ambiguous do when he starts on his internship”
Ah, I see, so not only are you homophobic, anti-Muslim, anti-choice, and against the right to a happy life, but you also don’t respect the wishes of other people. I believe that Ambiguous stated quite clearly that he not only did not want to “intern” for you, but that he was downright repulsed by the idea. Of course, being the arrogant asshole that you are, you simply disregarded his right to say no to your little offer, and have already made “plans” for him. It can actually be taken as a threat.
“I will then cut and paste them whenever you go on one of your little feminine rants.”
Exactly what is a “feminine rant”?
“If there’s a chance anyone would ever start a fan club for me, my guess it would be founded by you, Claire.”
Perhaps I’ll start an anti-Stephenson Billings blog, instead. In fact, perhaps I’ll get a jump on that right now.

As an adult facing real world issues, you’ll start to find yourself on my side of history, agreeing more and more with my points about the inherent greatness of America, the potential of our youth and the need for a more vibrant moral foundation. I welcome the day when we can be friends, hand and in hand. And I know Ambiguous is sounding tough in his cute little message postings, but I assure you it would be a poor career choice to reject my offer. He does want to write and I have a great deal of experience in that department! Plus, I happen to be a fantastic teacher and I make many people happy. I am sure he and I can reach some sort of understanding, even if we don’t see eye to eye on such political issues. He might even enjoy himself!

CLAIM to disagree? No, I DISAGREE with you, very vehemently, you arrogant old bastard.
“but later in life when you’ve matured and calmed down a bit you’ll realize the things you learned here from me will percolate and gain fuller meaning.”
I will never, EVER, take your side on issues. I happen to love homosexuals. As I’ve mentioned on here before, my neighbors were the first same sex couple in Massachusetts to get their marriage license and my parents attended their wedding. Their happiness is very important to me. I will never become friends with someone who says horrible things about them and wants to destroy their happiness. End of story.
“As an adult facing real world issues, you’ll start to find yourself on my side of history, agreeing more and more with my points about the inherent greatness of America, the potential of our youth and the need for a more vibrant moral foundation.”
First of all, I am an adult. I’m 19 years old, and I’ve experienced the real world, thank you very much. At age 16 I was training to be a Certified Nursing Assistant at a nursing home. I cleaned feces off of people so old and infirm that they couldn’t even move, let alone do it themselves. I helped clean a man who was in his final hours of terminal cancer while his family said goodbye to him. I volunteer at an animal shelter and watched up close as two four-month-old kittens were euthanized by a lethal dose of barbiturates to the abdominal cavity and then to the heart itself. I’ve been woken up late at night by gunshots just the next street over. My highschool classmate died of a shotgun wound to the chest shortly before graduation. So don’t you tell me about the real world. I’ve experienced a much more real world than you ever will.
“I welcome the day when we can be friends, hand and in hand.”
I highly doubt you’ll be welcoming that day, considering how if you even try to touch me the cops will be on your ass faster than you can say pervert.
“And I know Ambiguous is sounding tough in his cute little message postings, but I assure you it would be a poor career choice to reject my offer.”
Why is it so impossible for you to realize that Ambiguous knows what’s best for him and knows what he does and doesn’t want to do?
“He might even enjoy himself!”
No, he won’t, because, you see, usually the person being raped up the ass doesn’t enjoy it.
“I look forward to guiding this boy to adulthood and faith. Any of you others out there that want to learn, I am here for you.”

“if you’d only take a few minutes out of every day to consider the awful state of your soul”
And what exactly is so awful about my soul?

If I need a shoulder to lean on, that shoulder will either belong to my mother or father, NOT an internet pedophile who, by the looks of it, stuffs his face with pork rinds every day and bears the sour odor of a person who has not bathed in weeks.
“Your souls are far too important to me now.”
Hounding people because you’re “concerned” about their souls is not only a form of harassment, but is also a violation of our human rights to believe what we want in regards to our own lives. Unless I’m harming other people, you have no right to tell me what to think, what to do, or how to live my life. You better stop trying to save my soul, because you don’t have the right to do so.

Mr. Billings,
You call yourself an investigative journalist? Two things:
1- You are misguiding your readers. First off, the images are not of Aziz Ansari. They are of Kalpen Suresh Modi, otherwise known as Kal Penn. He is an Indian-American.
2- You state Aziz Ansari is a Muslim, and an Arab-American. Well, Mr. Investigative Journalist, Aziz Ansari is Indian-American as well. And he’s no more foreign than you. He was born in South Carolina.
You sully the reputation of authentic investigative journalists by calling yourself one. A true investigative journalist presents researched facts, and actually “investigates.” I don’t know how you don’t wake up in the morning feeling ashamed of your incompetence as an “investigative journalist.”

Damn him for his comedy! God forbid youths of this country check out his latest stand-up special on DVD, Aziz Ansari: Intimate Moments for a Sensual Evening, available now for order at Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Aziz-Ansari-Intimate-Moments-Sensual/dp/B002TQKL0W)!
Checking the product page, I see it’s not available for immediate delivery. . . I fear a number of American young people have already ordered this Devil Video Disc! STEPHENSON, DID YOU SPEAK UP TOO LATE?! WHY DID YOU NOT LET US KNOW SOONER!?
I shudder to think how many copies of his NBC show Parks and Recreation have sold on DVD, also available through Amazon and retail stores such as Best Buy (www.bestbuy.com) and Target (www.target.com).

Why?
Because you, my friend, have invented an awesome new word, one which I may annex into a potentially awesome new moneymaking venture.
“The hairsuit Arab…”
Hairsuit! Brilliant! So much more texturally prickly than that boring old standard English version, “hirsute.”
Indeed, a hairsuit does sound like a fabulous concept and I thank you for dreaming it up. It will shine through the infomercials like the next Snuggie. But with more hair. Christ-on-a-cracker, it’s just a swell idea, Stephenson.

Aziz never bad mouths or rants on American consumer culture, anyone who watches him can see that in fact he glorifies it. Half of what he talks about is going into Starbucks and Jamba Juices, for Christ’s Sake!

also now that i read your article closer
1. ” mocking the security measures of the Guantanamo Bay facility, ”
This was infact from the movie Harold a Kumar 2, which Aziz had no part in that movie. You are thinking Kal penn, which you have a picture of on your site. instead of aziz.
2. “The actors never rise above the amateurish, awkwardly staring directly into the camera and speaking with a nervousness they can’t hide. ”
You do understand that this show is suppose to be a fake reality show. Hence all the akward staring into the camera. Think of it like that hit fake reality show “The Office”
3. i saw you comment saying that there are Muslims in India, which is correct, but if you did your research, you’d now the Indian tamil people practice Hindu and Buddhism. not Muslim.

You are a disgusting person. If you are going to spew hate juice all the the face of your readers, at least get the facts straight and correct them after your mistakes have been made clear in many comments.
“when this man’s true intentions are revealed, will it be too late?”
I attended Aziz Ansari’s show last night and don’t feel the least bit compelled to commit acts of terrorism. Also, the show was a benefit for Haiti. Hardly the kind of thing one would expect from reading your article. Aziz tells harmless jokes to harmless people, and that you suggested it is anything more than that is absurd, false, and a lie.
P.S. Parks and Rec is a mockumentary, meaningit is a scripted show shot as if it is a documentary. When the actors look into the camera and appear nervous, it is because they are acting nervous. The fact that you thought they were actually nervous proves that they are good actors. Finally, Ansari’s character on the show cannot be used to prove what you believe him to be as a human being. You have no right to call him lazy or anything else unless you know him personally.
P.P.S. You are a racist.

What are you talking about? Yes, I have watched this Parks & Rec show and it doesn’t make any sense! The acting is so bad, I don’t know where to begin. The actors are all untrained but mistake they’re always looking at the camera (this is a big no-no in film) and then they all talk away trying to steal the spotlight (and what does any of this have to do with the plot?). Any good tv producer would have cut these parts, they’re clearly mistakes why do they keep them in? The whole show is just lazy. And the camera is just unsteady and jumps around it makes me dizzy. Who are these amateurs? Two years ago the high school in my town did Pinnochio and it was so well done and honest. I really felt these kids, their hearts were really in it and could they act! I love watching children perform. And those kids could have gone circles around these goofballs. Is this supposed to be a funny show because I just don’t get it.

Like the one about Aziz Ansari and Kal Penn being two different people?

That’s what’s great about the internet; it’s written in stone. That’s why compuserve is still number one.
“You people are crazy and dont have a clue about how the internet works.”
Well, SOMEONE doesn’t have that clue. Remember, when you point your finger there are three more pointing back at you.
“I am not a racist”
At least not enough to know the race of who you’re criticizing. Or his religion. Or to pay the least bit of attention when you’ve been told a dozen times that he’s not Arab or muslim (or Kal Penn).
“this is a well thought out news article”
How is it well thought out?
In the way I’ve thought out a Felicia Day/ME/Pauley Perrette sandwich? I mean, I’ve THOUGHT IT OUT, but I haven’t done any of the research into how it could happen. (Are they unattached? Do their schedules match up with mine? Are they into slightly out of shape, middle-aged guys who live on the other side of the country?)
And much like you, if I were to do that research, the answers might undermine my sandwich/your article.
(Have they already met a slightly out of shape, middle-aged guy who lives on the other side of the country?) Maybe a Felicia Day/ME/Alison Mack sandwich.
“and I don’t care who this Kal man is anyhow”
There’s no reason you should. You should care who Aziz Ansari is, though. He’s not that “Kal man” in the pictures.
You criticized that other commenters for not watching the show before they posted. Have you?
Kal is a tall, soft spoken man with thick hair, and kind of a big head (sorry). Aziz is a short, high-energy guy with fairly short hair and sort of a small head (sorry, again).
Except for similar skin color, they look nothing alike.

Wow, the writer of this pointless article is REALLY racist. That’s the clearest (and only) message this mess of an article made clear. First of all, that’s clearly NOT Aziz Ansari in the picture you used. Just Google Image search Aziz Ansari and you’ll find PLENTY of pictures of him.
Second, Aziz is one of the most likable young comics out there and he reflects American youth. He is a comedian, so his demeanor is part of his act. He’s actually a very smart, thoughtful and kind person. He hasn’t taken advantage of anyone and got to where he is by being insanely talented and a hard worker.
Mr. Billings clearly doesn’t have a very current comedic sensibility. I would bet money on the fact that Mr. Billings is a fan of Jeff Dunham’s comedy. By the way, Dunham is a confirmed racist (by people who know him).

While some people get distracted by comedy like this guy and the Oscars and Dancing with the Stars the rest of us have too many problems to face in our daily lives. Yes, it’s the economy stupid. Worst recession since great depression. Unemployment still vastly huge. Double dip recession still major threat. Yet Washington has been mired for the past year in corruption, lunatic drives to enact a massive and monstrous health care bill that vast majority abhors, love affair with climate change freaks when the globe is experiencing the coldest temperatures in decades, massive pork barrel stimulus legislation that has cost more than a trillion and done nothing to address economic woes, mindless imposition of big government for the sake of big government, deficits far larger than all of the federal deficits in history, and taxes and fees that will soon be the largest in history and hit the middle class hardest of all.
And never has a government that has done so much damage demonstrated so much arrogance, so much swagger and so much confidence that it knows more than the people about what’s good for the country. Virginia tried to give these bozos a message in November and they ignored it. We are in a unique position to unite against the corrupt politicians and disgusting abuses of traditional American culture and shake this country up from coast to coast.
I have no interest in the uninformed, uncreative, uninspired, puppets like Aziz. Supporting and buying their consumer crap is only propping up the worst lunacy of Hollywood and Washington.
