Mo Amer Schools Islamophobes About All Things Muslim | The Daily Show

0:00 What's up, guys?

0:01 I'm Mo Ammer.

0:02 Before we get started, I should confess something.

0:04 Mo is actually my nickname.

0:07 My full name is Muhammad.

0:18 You're welcome.

0:20 It's the most popular name in the world.

0:22 All right.

0:22 Lots of Muslims are named Muhammad.

0:24 Muhammad Ali.

0:25 Greatest of all time.

0:26 Soccer legend.

0:27 Mosalah.

0:28 Hell, Sabrina Carpenter just changed your name to Muhammad.

0:32 We accept your apology, girl.

0:34 Be cool.

0:34 Just chill.

0:37 But for some reason, being afraid of Muslims is really trendy right now.

0:41 Islam is not compatible with Western civilization.

0:44 That's not a religion.

0:45 That's a cult.

0:46 They are here to impose their way of life on all of you.

0:50 I've said it once and I'll say it again.

0:53 Deport them all.

0:56 Congressman Randy Fine of Florida explicitly saying,

0:58 quote, "We need more Islamophobia, not less." Stand with radical Islam.

1:05 And you can Allah Akbar your butt all the way back to the Middle East.

1:12 What?

1:13 What?

1:13 Allah Akbar means God is great.

1:17 You want me to God is great my tutkas back to the Middle East.

1:21 Are you HAVING A STROKE?

1:23 YOU NEED TO TELL TO A DOCTOR ASAP.

1:27 SHEESH.

1:28 It turned up the Islamophobia all the way up

1:30 to a 10 or at least somewhere between nine and 11.

1:34 Uh I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know WE DIDN'T DO IT.

1:40 OKAY, GEORGE BUSH DID IT.

1:48 ANYWAY, this is where your old pal Mohammer comes in.

1:51 I grew up in Houston, Texas with the first name Muhammad.

1:54 So I'm kind of an expert in Islamophobia.

1:57 Although although some people assume my name was Hector Gomez.

2:03 Saludos mis amigos.

2:07 But I want to tell you something right now.

2:09 I've been hearing your Islamophobia and and I'm offended.

2:13 Not not from the hate, but because it's so inaccurate.

2:17 For example, I've been seeing you, a lot of you do this.

2:21 Here's your kryptonite, Muslims.

2:24 Here's your kryptonite.

2:26 Ma'am, you have a pig on top of a Yes.

2:29 stick right now.

2:30 What made you bring a pig out here today?

2:32 I just want to stay safe and I know they won't get close to Hogs.

2:38 Lady, you're doing too much.

2:39 All right.

2:40 You don't need that pig head to keep us away.

2:42 That hat and that eye patch are enough.

2:51 AND and and by the way,

2:53 we're definitely not intimidated when YOU LEAVE THE PRICE TAG ON.

2:58 Are you planning to return it?

3:00 I mean, that that poor guy at Home Depot is like, "Ma'am,

3:04 I told you all pig head on stick sales are final." But listen,

3:11 Islamophobes, bacon is not our kryptonite.

3:14 I mean, what do you think happens to us?

3:16 You think I walk into a Denny's and go, "WHAT'S THAT SMELL?

3:21 MY POWERS.

3:22 MY POWERS.

3:23 I LOST MY SHARIA SUPER SIGHT." OH, NO.

3:27 And for the record, we're not supposed to.

3:29 And for the record, you're not supposed to eat pork either.

3:32 Right.

3:32 That's in the Bible, too.

3:34 Leviticus uh 11:7.

3:38 I I stay at a lot of hotels.

3:39 I'm lonely.

3:43 You all give us way too much credit.

3:46 Uh, you even act like we've taken over entire continents.

3:49 Islam has conquered Europe.

3:51 They've been taken over by the Muslims.

3:53 London is basically London stand.

3:55 Germany fully conquered by Islam.

3:57 It would appear.

3:58 We lost New York.

3:59 During Ramadan, New Yorkers are now waking up to this.

4:07 That's not Iraq.

4:08 It's not Afghanistan.

4:10 That's Time Square.

4:12 Time Square.

4:17 Wait, wait, wait, wait.

4:18 Time Square.

4:19 You going to blame You're going to blame us for noise in Time Square?

4:23 IT'S TIME SQUARE.

4:26 These Muslims are keeping us up all night,

4:28 all hours in a city that doesn't sleep.

4:31 Hey, I want to be a part of it.

4:36 Islam.

4:38 Islam start.

4:41 All right.

4:41 All right.

4:41 All right, I'm getting carried away here.

4:44 Listen, guys.

4:44 Listen, listen, listen, listen.

4:46 Here's my theory.

4:47 You say you dislike Muslims, but I think you just hate New York.

4:50 You're You're not Islamophobic.

4:52 You're New York because you constantly blame us for normal New York stuff.

4:57 The New York Mets, they are on an 11game losing streak,

5:02 including Oh, right after the mayor met and hugged the team mascot, Mr.

5:08 met at City Field on April 9th,

5:10 a phenomenon people are calling the mom Donnie curse.

5:14 DON'T YOU DARE PUT THE METS ON US.

5:16 OKAY, they cursed themselves.

5:19 You think we would waste an ancient curse on the Mets?

5:23 In fact, in fact, if the Mets really want to win, okay, maybe they need Islam.

5:27 Maybe.

5:27 Yeah, maybe they need to pray five times a day.

5:30 Yeah, pray five times a day.

5:31 That's how you'll get angels in outfield.

5:37 Uh, please understand,

5:38 Muslims aren't trying to take over the streets of New York.

5:41 Well, may maybe just just one street.

5:44 Just Mr.

5:45 Brahmy, what does salam alalayikum mean?

5:47 Well, salam means peace, and it's a way to say hello in Arabic.

5:50 Oh, cool.

5:51 Oh, salam alaikum, everybody.

5:54 That's so sweet.

5:59 Yes, that's so sweet.

6:01 Peace for everyone.

6:02 That makes sense.

6:04 That makes Wait a second.

6:05 That makes sense.

6:05 Elmo's full name is El Mohammed.

6:16 That's why I've never seen him with Miss Piggy.

6:25 I mean, a message of peace and joy.

6:27 Who could be bad at that?

6:29 I wish Sesame Street would stick to teaching kids about letters and numbers,

6:34 Laura, and leave the Arabic immersion to someone else.

6:38 By the way, there's no record of Sesame Workshop posting a Jewish Heritage Day,

6:44 Italian Heritage Day, or Irish Heritage Day.

6:47 We looked Oh, you looked.

6:49 You looked.

6:50 You looked.

6:51 Well, I don't think you looked hot enough, sweetheart.

6:53 I can't say for certain, but I think we're going to Irish death

7:02 from all of us at Sesame Street.

7:03 We just want to say happy.

7:07 Chef Elmo knows what that is.

7:09 That's rigetony.

7:14 Rieton.

7:14 That was a hard R.

7:15 Elmo.

7:15 I got to say I'm a rigetony.

7:17 I don't feel comfortable.

7:20 But see, why wouldn't they celebrate multiple cultures?

7:22 Sesame Street is a diverse show.

7:24 They got birds, frogs, coked out elephants.

7:28 I mean, LOOK AT HIS PUPILS.

7:30 WHO LET THIS GUY ON A KID SHOW?

7:32 HE'S DOING LINES LIKE All right.

7:40 All right.

7:40 All right.

7:42 And that brings me to my final critique.

7:45 Islamophobes, do your research because I have.

7:50 And here it is.

7:51 Muslims invented algebra, hospitals, universities, the camera,

7:56 even algorithms, just to name a few.

7:59 And if you right-wing Christians dislike Middle Eastern people

8:02 and eating with your hands and teaching people about kindness,

8:05 I HAVE TERRIBLE NEWS FOR YOU ABOUT JESUS.

8:12 He was Middle Eastern from Palestine, spoke Aramaic,

8:15 a Seemetic language, and handed people bread with his hands.

8:19 And by the way, most Muslims aren't even

8:21 Arab and most Arab Americans are actually Christians.

8:24 And while we're at it, Muslims also believe in Jesus Christ.

8:28 He's mentioned in the Quran which has

8:29 an entire chapter named after his mother Mary.

8:31 And we also believe in the virgin birth.

8:33 Stop using lazy tropes to divide people so you can bomb other countries,

8:36 creating even more refugees,

8:37 making you more upset at Muslims in America, being doctors,

8:40 engineers, lawyers, or selling you street out of delicious cars.
