PHOENIX, AZ — Attendees at Turning Point's AmFest 2025 event experienced an awkward moment last night, as Tucker Carlson interrupted his own speech for an evening prayer to Mecca.
Onlookers were startled as Tucker halted a lengthy speech on cancel culture and looked at his phone. "Ope! Looks like it's that time again!" said Tucker to the confused audience as he rolled out an ornate prayer rug and began to kneel. "It's time to pray. That's important, obviously, and we're going to pray together, clearly. I mean, seriously, obviously. Why wouldn't we? HAHAHAHAHA!"
Sources said Carlson then began chanting in a haunting, melodic voice.
"Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allaaaaaaaahu Akbar.
Ashhadu alla ilaha illallah.
Ashhadu anna Muhammadar Rasulullah."
An uproar immediately started among the crowd, with confused audience members trying to make sense of the incident.
"Woah! What's he sayin'? Is he speaking terrorist?" said one agitated audience member. "I think he's speakin' terrorist! Get off the stage, terrorist! Booooooo!"
Carlson reportedly grew agitated as the crowd began to jeer and boo. "You're trying to censor me! This is cancel culture!" he cried. "How dare you! This is loathsome, obviously!"
At publishing time, Carlson had expressed hope for a much warmer reception at the upcoming QatarFest.
The smear machine is turned on.
Today it’s the Bee trying to be funny. Tomorrow, it’ll happen. Which is why the Bee is the nation’s Newspaper of Record.
Yup. They have TC in their sights.
Tucker loves shariah law. A perfect fit for his new home in Qatar
The Bee is funny when there’s a fundamental truth behnd the point they’re trying to make. ... so that’s why this one is a dud. Look, you can disagree with Tucker Carlson about Qatar or Dubai or Israel or Iran or Ben Shapiro or Candace Owens or Megyn Kelly or any other person, issue or topic that you want. You can call Tucker Carlson an idiot or a dupe. But it’s lazy and dishonest to call him a crypto-Muslim, as the Bee is doing here. Tucker has always expressed a strong Christian faith.
“Tucker loves shariah law. A perfect fit for his new home in Qatar”
How is it possible for someone to get warped so fast, and I am not talking about Tucker.
Follow the money. Tucker’s islamophile romance is directly proportional to it.
Babylon Bee is really going overboard with this. Pathetic.
Tucker has always expressed a strong Christian faith.
++++++++++
I seem to recall that TC is a relative newcomer to being a Christian. Believe it was after he gave up boozing. That said, I have no idea where TC is in his faith walk. Hopefully still on the right path.
Lighten up, Francis.
Great line.
It’s satire. Not always meant to be funny. It’s a bonus if it is, but it’s not required.

satire:
wit, irony, or sarcasm used to expose and discredit vice or folly (as of a person, government, or society)
So the Bee’s a bunch of defensive Zionists?
And yes, I think Carlson was off base last night.
” Tucker has always expressed a strong Christian faith.”
LOL. He’s literally expressed he was a lukewarm Episcopalian and said he was “”the least religious you can be while still claiming religion.”
This is not to mention how he claimed he was attacked by a demon in his bed in 2023, leaving four bloody claw marks on his body, and bleeding through his sheets, all while his wife and four dogs slept in his bed.
Dude has gone nuts.
Tucker Carlson was born in S.F. He used to live in D.C. and became friends with Hunter Biden. His stepmother came from the Swanson frozen food fortune so obviously he came from money.
Qatar is loaded. He's motivated by money.
Haven’t heard that he’s still attending the Episcopal Church, he’ll have a hard time fitting in now, the church is WOKE.
