Actor Riz Ahmed sounded off on so-called Islamaphobia during a speech at the Creative Artists Agency Amplify conference in Ojai, California, suggesting whether this will be the year U.S. authorities “round up” Muslims and deport them overseas.

Go back to Pakistan you stinking muzzie.

“claiming it was “super scary” to be a Muslim in the Western world. ”. Not nearly as scary as being Jewish or Christian in the Muslim world.
“claiming it was “super scary” to be a Muslim in the Western world.”
Then why do so many go to the western world for refuge?
These demagogues make no sense.
It’s obviously scarier to be Muslim in the Islamic world or the refugees would be going the other way.
OK, so self deport to the Eastern world.
Because it’s really scary to be a Muslim right now. Super scary.”
And why is that? What sorts of events may have caused the western world to fear Islam, and Muslims?
You mean, kinda like Muslims do to pretty much everyone else when they aren’t massacring them?
If only.
It is not a bad idea.
Considering their highly negative attitudes towards women, surely all true feminists would applaud this move.
Are they here illegally? Then of course!
Good suggestion! Let’s do it now!
Aw.. he’s an actor so he’s actin’ like a putz of least resistance.
