Comments on: Celebrity Muslim Aziz Ansari Finds Mecca of Comedy in Terrorism Jokes http://christwire.org/2010/01/celebrity-muslim-aziz-ansari-finds-mecca-of-comedy-in-terrorism-jokes/ Conservative Values for an Unsaved World Wed, 23 May 2012 23:45:21 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Truth http://christwire.org/2010/01/celebrity-muslim-aziz-ansari-finds-mecca-of-comedy-in-terrorism-jokes/#comment-184462 Truth Sat, 05 Nov 2011 11:36:40 +0000 http://christwire.org/?p=3072#comment-184462 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.

It?s pretty price enough for me. Personally, if all website owners and bloggers made just right content material as you probably did, the web might be much more helpful than ever before.

I think this article coming from a Christian site reflects negatively on the Christian religion and your integrity as an author. As it has been pointed out you have made several mistakes one bein the fact that you featured Kal Penn not Aziz Ansari. You also make some sweeping generalizations. What are we as christians to judge a man as a terrorist Or terrorist supporter by his ethnicity or religion. Aziz has provided laughs for a countless number of people and I'm sure he is an inspiration for many. This man has already accomplished so much! What have you accomplished? Let's please put more thought and time into papers in the future and as Christians try to judge people less!

This is not news. This isn't anything different than listening to the lunatic on the street corner ranting on government conspiracy or some hidden, underground civilization that lives among the rats in the sewers. There is nothing of substance in your article; your research, your logic, and reasoning are inherently flawed. As a journalist, as an American citizen, and as a Christian, I am utterly offended. This man is a wolf in sheeps clothing? Get real. Turn the lens on yourself. By distorting the facts you can get any audience to agree with you, so long as they're naive, but you're dealing with readers that are intelligent and clearly aren't buying what you have to say. If anything this shows the integrity that you have as a person and as a "journalist", as you have stated that you put a lot of research and "love" in this piece, in which case you have only accurately portrayed your ignorance and with your lack of attention to factual reporting, you have subsequently turned your every word into nothing but wasted pixels and worthless steam. After reading this I will never read anything by this publication again, because if they're willing to employ you, than clearly this can only be a mark of their lack of standards when it comes to quality journalism. Perhaps you'd find better company and reception on the street corner to spew this tasteless, filth.

I still haven't figured out if Stephenson Billings is a joke of a person or real. by the way how could any human possibly take a site that has a headline titled 'Boycott Bill Murray for a Better America' seriously.

My initial post was a gut-reaction having read only this article and some of your subsequent rebuttals. Having now read a little more about you, I have learnt that you are in fact a satirical humourist of some renown. I therefore congratulate you for writing this highly amusing piece and also for pulling the wool over so many people's (myself included) eyes.
