Yeah, it's not a good look. But he was not only targeting that religion. The guy made an entire documentary dedicated to shitting on all religions. It's worth noting that he probably hasn't said those kinds of things recently. That article is from 7 years ago. I'm not saying he's got all defensible views but I don't know if it was really fair to characterize him as an islamophobe. Again, he was also shitting on Christianity constantly.
Religious is from 08 and DID attack every religion.
I was watching from 12-17 and islamaphobia was on full display in most episodes. He would defend himself as you would expect but he didn't hit all religions like he did Islam during that time.
I quit watching him after the N-Word incident because I expected a much different handling of it than apologizing to Ice Cube...
