Conan O’Brien Called “Racist” After Tweet About Muslim Superhero
Last night, comedian and late-night talk show host Conan O’Brien made a huge mistake. He assumed that he’s free to poke fun at Islam the way he’s free to poke fun at Christianity, Mormonism, etc. And now he’s being called a “racist,” because, as everyone knows, Islam is a race.
After hearing about the new Muslim superhero “Ms. Marvel,” Conan tweeted:
His tweet, of course, makes joking reference to Surah 4:3 of the Qur’an, which allows Muslim men to marry up to four women. (Muhammad is the exception; he was allowed to marry far more than four women.) Not surprisingly, fans were not amused:
Some fans obviously don’t know much about Islam, since they think that Islam forbids sex with minors (Islam actually allows sex with prepubescent girls):
As usual, there were endless cries of “racist”:
Conan has since removed the Tweet, and I doubt he’ll ever joke about Islam again. Islam and its defenders have sent yet another message to the West: Islam is not here to be treated equally, so learn to respect it. If you’re at all offended that the Qur’an promotes polygamy (4:3), and the rape of female captives (4:24), and spousal abuse (4:34), and sex with prepubescent girls (65:4), and the violent subjugation of unbelievers (9:29), then you will be called a “racist,” a “bigot,” a “hate-monger,” and an “Islamophobe.”

Are you kidding me. It was a joke! Lighten up people! everyone is so up tight nowadays. I am so sick of this PC crap! Why is it Muslims’ get the golden key to the crapper. People crap on Christ and Christianity every day and that seems acceptable. And lets look at Islam! Oh my I can’t do that you may call me a racist and an islamaphobe. Personally I really don’t give a crap! I am a realist who recognizes who the true enemy of the American People, Islamic Extremists and the U.S. Government!
