thing off with the duo with the prayer so this is the controversy fine either one of us yeah i don't know i'll i'll leave it and then um the white people you guys can also you guys can pray too so you know brandon cody cole just you guys just participate so this got him quite a bit of slack on muslims [Music]

women and yoga pants please please so this is what got him a lot of slack uh and there was this huge thing about we should ban um i'm gonna come to the super chats in just a moment yeah so we're gonna we should ban cancel hassan minhaj because of this he's mocking the concept of dua
he's mocking islam he's how can he call and he says sorry i i just after that he says to the person i think i got everything or should i ask the man upstairs for anything else so they're saying oh my god how could he say the man upstairs oh my god and how could he make this to ah white women in yoga pants was he asking for was he protecting from was he protecting from like saying they shouldn't be cancel him
so the right so people all this you know this cancel culture is so annoying it's just these like this is what i was talking about earlier on these kind of fascist uh militant left this kind of like ultra left the far left yeah i don't really support this kind of um uh this kind of a cancellation culture it's the new takfir isn't it the instead of saying kafir we say cancel them let's do a campaign cancelling them this is the problem you give people a
bit of power they can't handle it let's cancel them i've got nothing i mean the guy's just having a joke for god's sake you know haven't you got a sense of humor you're like well no well he can't he can't make a joke about doing it is it your dad's department why can't he you know if he's making a joke fair enough uh you know that's up to him i mean fair enough his joke may be in bad taste but many people's jokes are in bad taste you know what's what's the big deal why are you getting so worked up about it you know at the end of the day how can you call the god the man upstairs
have you ever read what the selfies call him you know the books that they're promoting you know and by the way the one upstairs in urdu culture this is so common uh they say all the time they used to say this you know that ask the one upstairs i mean it's okay fair enough if he said the man upstairs and they're saying man you know the big man or whatever he said upstairs look it's a joke it's not like he this is how he's worshiping god just chill out calm down people calm down honestly i you know i feel do you know what i feel i feel that
people don't have a cause to fight for in their lives like they don't have but they have an urge to want to fight for something you know they've got an itch but they don't know where the itch is [Laughter] this is the problem so they're like if anything happens they just like unleash a rage at that thing that why huh the programs move from nine to nine what you know it's like is this this karen kind of you know that
corinthians that culture isn't it this oh let's complain about everything let's just become a yeah so i'm totally look i'm not saying whether i find those jokes that funny i probably don't but my sense of humor is definitely you'd flip out at my sense of humor it's way too twisted but i feel that look it's this freedom people can make a joke it's up to them and they can make a joke and they can make a joke about dua they can make a joke about you know many of our self used to crack so many jokes and they would sometimes
crack jokes using certain verses of the quran they would they would do this now i understand other people don't appreciate it but you know you should see the you know ibn abhisheba not the other he's also in hadith the quran specialist his brother the jokes he used to crack the sarcasm using the quran and they people did condemn him but is he not in the hadith literature and is he not like so big and yeah so people need to just chill out a little that's my point yeah
yeah like um you know that this this is like i feel uh
