Hold on. Just give me a second to breathe. In through the nose, out through the mouth. I need to sit down. This has to be some kind of sick joke.
Ok, as an avid Dave Chappelle fan, I've got to say that this one totally is throwing me for a loop. The star of the drug comedy
Something is not right in this story.
Aha! It is all making sense now. Check out this part of the story:
So he either recently converted to Islam or he was already a Muslim but not practicing until recently.
So, add to my list of grievences against Islam the demise of the Dave Chappelle show.
Hat tip Bill Dauterieve.
Question to readers: If Chappelle returns to the show as a practicing Muslim, what sort of comedy bits would he run?
Slow motion reality distorting cam: Dave walks into bar. Sees friends across floor. Waves. Walks over. Blows self and bar up.

I see you have taken the news very hard... quite the detailed report, though. To be fair, many American stars continued doing what they were famous for after converting to Islam... take Muhammad Ali as an example. Then again, there probably isn't anything "offensive" to Islam in beating the snot out of Christians, so he really didn't push the limit. Oh well, that argument is stillborn.... bitch?

Do you figure he beats women and advocates stoning for adultery? I mean, Muslim values are pretty much universal, right? It's ok to generalize because it's mostly true, right?

Two unrelated things:
(1) Didn't Wacko Jacko claim to convert to Islam sometime last year in yet another pathetic attempt to draw publicity?
(2) Not only did Muslims formerly enslave blacks, they still do so with great enthusiasm in Sudan. Of course, it's black Muslims enslaving non-Muslim blacks, so it's okay, as long as no white people are involved, so it's not newsworthy or anything.

You guys are fucking morons. Islam didn't ruin anything. You guys are ignorant backwoods assholes. Dave Chappelle is the greatest working comedian in the world, and will continue to be just that. If only you assholes actually took the time to read things, instead of just spouting your racist bullshit, things would be different. Did you shitheads even read the TIME article? He said he had been Muslim for a while but did not want the material of the show to be associated with his religion, because he feels his religion is a beautiful thing. rusty shackleford comments and idiotic sketch ideas are insulting to every intelligent, fair-minded American. Blow it out your asses you conservative right-wing bitches.

So what Chappelle is Muslim? Why do right-wingers have to almost always summarize a person's existence by their religion? What biz is it of yours, anyway? Your really beef is with Islam and a religion that happens to be other than yours. I assure you, you don't have to worry about Islam. If the Islamic religion is as false and trecherous as you say, then it will one day fall by its own weight and rot from its own lies, without any help from people like you. Yet it is the fastest growing religion despite being discredited daily by pundits. Ever heard the showbiz saying 'any publicity is good publicity.' Instead of judging religions by their follower's, why don't you all start looking at every faith with less emotion and instead with the benefit of intellect. You'd sleep better, I'd wager, after you do this with an open-mind; examining all religions (not just the one your were born into) and then pick and espouse one with the promise to yourself not to attack the others. Then many people (like me) wouldn't fire up their o'l rhetoric meter as soon as you open up your mouths or post anything.

I think it's great that you continue to affirm all the negative stereotypes about conservatives/right-wingers in general by resorting to ignorant prejudice to explain when someone is or does something different. Oh no Islam! Oh no Gay marriage! Insert random racist bullshit to remind you of your WASP superiority! And resorting to anti-Jewish jokes to characterize what a muslim comedien may be like is classic brilliance. really.
and as for trying to shift the focus of slavery from what your ancestors died in droves to keep (the civil war, in case you had a convenient case of amnesia), sorry, we still remember. it's funny how 300+ years of slavery plus another 150 and counting more years of discrimination and bigotry can leave a mark so profound on a people.

LoL, so umm....as a muslim just curious to see if this show is cancelled or not..HMMM?
Anyways, if David Chappelle chooses to cancel his show because of his beliefs, that's his life.
And if he chooses to Practice Islam, AND air the show...it's his life.
Any Muslim Brothers upset over this topic, i advise to worry about your own religion and how well you are practicing. And any Non-Muslims....Don't hate ALL muslims unless you really get to know everyone of them. Including myself

honestly, thank god for your intelligent posts at the bottom.
the kind of shit that people were posting above was ridiuclous.
"Do you figure he beats women and advocates stoning for adultery? I mean, Muslim values are pretty much universal, right? It's ok to generalize because it's mostly true, right?" Those are NOT Muslim values you prick.
and "..no wonder why you never really see any Muslims with a sense of humor".. Very funny.. Play again you pompous ass, and stop trying to be humourous, cuz you're failing miserable. You want comedy, try sarcasism on for size.
and lastly, Muslims DID enslave blacks, that much is true, but their slaves were not and are not in the traditional sense of slavery that is understood in America. Their slaves were taken as prisoners of war in the past. I don't know about the Sudan situation right now, but the slaves Muslims possessed in the past were more like workers, and treated less like dirt than how those damn Southern bastards treated them.

IF ONLY ONE COULD SEE THIS TYPE OF INTERACTION IN THE STREETS!!!
Personally, I feel this is a much bigger issue than Islam...you simply have to dismiss the ignorance of those individuals who started this raid. But their stupidity (literally) has generated POSITIVE discussions; something that is lacking these days.
The DISAPPOINTMENT is that you no longer see or have a positive icon in black culture who's not afraid to challenge the subtle racism and RACIAL DISPARITY in today's society (i.e. all ghettos, prisons, even lower tier schools are dominated by blacks/hispanics; and congress, private schools, elite universities, businesses, ALL dominated by whites [as a % of their race for those of you wanting to play the "greater-numbers" game]). AND CHAPPELLE WAS WILLING TO MAKE IT PUBLIC while reaching a large audience, but reminded us that we all - blacks, whites, hispanics, asians, indians, etc. - could be cool b/c we all like to do the same thing...smoke (j/k), and we all have strengths and weaknesses as a race.
I'm definitely proud of Chappelle, and hopefully it's just time for him to move on to BIGGER AND BETTER things like the movie he has coming out (which I have to go see). But he was definitely an Islamic icon in the black community to stir up discussion AND ACTION, which is needed. I'm not a Muslim, but I would think it's important to not simply Praise Islamic ideals, but help bring about these positive characteristics of Islam in those who need it MOST (i.e. the young ignorant boys who started this)...Two great men Malcom X and M.L. King tried to do that...GO READ THEIR AUTOBIOGRAPHY, and take action!!!
Be easy...
P.S. E-mail me if you're going to be in the Raliegh-Durham area of NC this fall, and try to make a change...starting at the universities

Islam doesn't advocate buying and selling slaves...ur totally messed...have u even read the Quran? i've read front to back, and I know for a fact it teaches equality amongst all races...what other religion can u go to their holy place and see absolutely every race worshipping together? huh? just cuz a culture/country allows it...doesn't mean islam teaches it...get ur facts straight...and stop spreading lies...As for u Venom, u are so ignorant... do u base all of your jokes off sterotypes? racist fool! i'm sorry domestic abuse is everywhere (which doesn't make it right of course)...and in islamic teachings it says ..."the best of you are those who treat your wive kindly"...i've never seen n e thing more racist in my life being applauded in this day and age....u r all sick close minded hicks...and the majority of muslims don't hate america...i love america, i love muslims, and i love dave chappelle and i applaud them all....but it's a shame in the land of the free to know that pple like rusty and venom and mountain freak keith are soo stupid when they have the knowledge available around them to know better...

Never met a right winger who I ever liked. I know how to take care of their stupidity, send them to Iraq. Lets see how much they will support war after that.
One more thing bitches, Chappelle is a married man and a father, he has obligations both to them and his faith. Its takes a big man to walk away from $50 million contracts. Best of luck to Dave in his quest to become a better Muslim.

Now don't tell me it's all right wingers who are racist. I'm conservative (not necessarily republican) and it doesn't make me racist, and I'm not racist to begin with. That applies to most conservatives that I know. If you view conservatives as some dirty, scruffy looking guy who sits on his porch drinking a six pack every night while he polishes his shot gun, you've got the wrong picture. If you are so for equality, why not find out what being conservative is about, and quit using stereotypes about us.

Saying that all racists happen to be right wingers is bullshit. It's like saying that all terrorists are Islam. There is nothing wrong with being Islam, Christian, Jewish, or any other religion that is out there. Or even not having a religion. It's all a matter of personal faith and opinion. I say good for Chapelle for being religious, and I don't demonize him or anybody else for their religion.

cool discussion. just wanted to inform the nonmuslim here that the Qur'an actually is a book that highly advocates the freeing of slaves. God commands us many times to free slaves for it is one of the greatest things one can do. the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and his companions would buy slaves from other ppl and free them (whether they were muslim or not).
about chapelle, me as a Muslim see it as a great thing that he has found peace in Islam and I wish him luck for his quest to improve himself. Whoever doesn't agree just think about what walking away from $50 million dollars and fame means. his whole extended family was pressuring him, wanting this house and those cars, and he left that pressure and walked away from $50 MILLION. how many of us Muslims today would do that. That is how strong the message of Islam is. it preaches letting go of earthly things and doing good deeds for the hereafter.
and also about the fact that he left comedy...it isn't cuz comedy is a sin under islam (as some1 commented), it's actually that the comedy he's doing is a sin. i mean he curses all the time, something islam preaches not to do. he makes skits where he drinks or does drugs, or is with a woman whose tit pops out of here blouse. that stuff woud be something not compatible with islam. just wanted to give in my two cents.
peace

Hey Dr Rusty Shackleford... another Muslim here to reply to-- for lack of a more suitable word-- your crap. Seriously man... I wonder if you were so shallow as to think that Chappelle has made no commentary whatsoever concerning Islam in all the shows and standup he's ALREADY released and performed. For example, in his "Killing 'em softly..." he cracks a joke about a Chinese guy pretending to be Arab so that Muslims will be blamed for yet another plane hijacking. And that's only one example...
Another thing... The brilliance behind Chappelle's comedy has nothing to do with his sexual jokes or foul language (which is the only thing you picked up on in your lame and misguided attempt at making Chappelle-an jokes)-- it has everything to do with his subtle communication of his strong political and racial views. To top it all off, your "jokes" are pretty much a repeat of stereotypes concerning Muslims. There's nothing original to them, nor anything funny about them. They are serious attacks against Muslims that would hold up as "hate speech" in any civilized court.
You need to learn about what Islam really is before you try to speak of it and its followers. And you need to learn from Chappelle-- be he Muslim or not... Chappelle ATTACKS existing stereotypes in an extremely original, and brilliantly hilarious manner. Unfortunately, your top ten is nothing but a failure. Do you even watch Chappelle? Even if you do, do you understand the words that are comin' outta his mouth?

Thank God I read more of the comments that followed the first ones, for I started to feel this website is sponsored by the KKK. Speaking of the KKK, they persecuted blacks and Jews based on religion (which of course was a false belief that the bible mentions Jews and blacks as inferior creatures), so would it be valid for me, as a Muslim, to point at Christians and say "Jew/black haters?" Also, Hitler and his army that burned the Jews during the Holocaust were all Christian. Does this allow me to say that Christians are Jew-haters? So before pointing the finger at Muslims and calling us all "bin ladens," maybe you should get to know Muslims a little better. Stop watching TV and meet one in real life.

hey everyone..i happend to find this site by accident..n im very disappointed..i have to ask what do youll have agaisnt Islam? i was delighted to hear that dave chapelle has converted to Islam..thats because I myself am a Muslim..but what gets me irritated is that theres so many bad rumors spreadin around the whole world about Islam..if a person is ignorant and doesnt actully kno much about Islam then he/she shouldnt be commenting on Islam. Mostly what people hear about Islam is from the news..which usually is all bullshit..if u actually try just once to research on Islam, youll be amazed..i hope someday u guys will understand..but if not then shut ur mouth up n stop bad mouthing Islam..

HAHA - I have never read so many ignorant comments in one place until now...The person who said he doesn't get African-Americans converting to Islam because Arabs enslaved them? Wow, America really doesn't offer history lessons to its citizens. The European and the crackers (White people of the U.S.) enslaved Africans and brought them over for economic purposes - Islam abolished slavery...
That Dave Chapelle is turning toward religion is a positive thing. Maybe not for mofo's who worship false democracy and money, but for those who believe will see any type of a step toward God a positive one...
Hint: books. Read people read. Turn off CNN, it's just propaganda:O

LEt's not forget. Islam was the first relegion who did not discriminate against blacks or any Slaves. HAZRAT BILAL was one of the prominent and first converts to iSLAM, and guess what, He was a black slave at the time, who after converting to ISLAM was seen and given the same SOCIAL status as an Arab or any other MUSLIMS. So far all you MUSLIMS haters. LEARN and then TALK!. What muslims did in So many hundered years (STOP DISCRIMINATION OF BLACKS), American has not yet done!

Subhanallah he converted to Islam and you guys who aint muslim shouldn't talk back against us or say discriminative things about us. He canceled his show for a good reason and it was because his show had some racial problems with Islam.
So think twice before you put up dumbass posts about Dave and him being muslim.

Spoken from the mouth of Dave Chappelle himself in his interview with Time Magazine:
"I don't normally talk about my religion publicly because I don't want people to associate me and my flaws with this beautiful thing. And I believe it is a beautiful religion if you learn it the right way. It's a lifelong effort. Your religion is your standard. Coming here I don't have the distractions of fame. It quiets the ego down. I'm interested in the kind of person I've got to become. I want to be well rounded and the industry is a place of extremes. I want to be well balanced. I've got to check my intentions, man."
Remember Allah and His rasul (sawaws) and you will be remembered when you need it the most.
Chappelle rules comedy...besides, Eddie Murphy's brother works with him on the show, can't get better than that.

DAVE CHAPELLE THE COMEDIAN AND RENEGADE. Wow a bunch racist, sterotipcal blunt comments passed off as a satirical comedy by a group of anti islamic, jew hating, christain exploting and also american exploting people. The haters on top comments only matter to the cowards who consume it and post it at their white supremecy and religous fundamentalist websites. As an american I am disgusted by the comments on top. Dave Chappelle is a renegade and the people who bash him for establing faith can't stand the fact that they are not going to have their comedy spoon fed to them anymore. Well at least you cult fundamental conforming cowards still have fox news and I doubt that your precoius bias news will be taken away from you. Not to say that I am also a liberal douche. Dave believes in what he feels he should believe in, whether its something like islam or even if he believes in getting high. Not conforming to the likes of what the corporations tell him or what the arrogant public expects of him makes him a couragous indiviual, and thats just something a few of you will never understand.

Man I haven't been back to this post in a long time. So many batshit crazy leftards fell out of the woodwork it's impossible to spank them all, so I will just say to all the islamotards and moonbat liberal traitors; take notice, your days are numbered. Soon, many of you will be found hanging from bridges and balconies, because We, the People, are sick and tired of your shit. War is coming, and you will all suffer horribly, so leave, get out, go to your precious dictators that you love so much. We're coming for you. Soon.

why are all you people wasting your time with these suck heads. Yes its obvious the person and the commenters on the very top are sterotyping middle easterns, but these guys aren't even fucking worth arguing over because their racist and sterotype comments are so extremely bias that it would make any american citizen sick to their stomach. So who cares what they say, because us americans who have common sense know its just a bunch of bull shit.

yeah dude these extremely negative people on top are really just so fucking close minded indivuals. I guess their approach is if you see an arab or a jew or just someone who doesnt fit their racist beliefs should be killed. AND the comments by that one dude implosbus fucking maxiums whatever the fuck his name is so god damn funny. Thats a good laugh! Now thats what you call a fucking warmonger LOL!!! am i right or am i right.

Hey right wing bitches and improbulus_maximus bring it on. I would love to kick the living shit out of you and all your white trash followers that sleep with their sisters and mothers. You are a disgrace to America and everyone in it. You white trash basterds should be ashamed of your selves. Give me you names and lets meet at some park or something and lets see who the really men are. Stop hinding behind you website. BITCHES!!!

"Kill All Right wing bitches" you are no better than the people at the top. Being tolerant doesn't mean beind understanding of one group, and then stereotyping another group becuase they are poorly represented. They don't represent conservatives or the right-wing. I can understand why you are mad at them (as I am too), but don't patronize one group and hate another. Treat everyone with equality.

salam all,
its funny how all the negative ppl in the beginning of this onversation have walked away. it is the unity of islam that keeps it together as well as protects it. Alhamdulillah it wonderfull to see all my brother and sisters unite and Inshallah we will continue to do so.

One of the first Muslims was black, his name was Bilal (peace be upon him). Furthermore he was freed from slavery by a Muslim convert, from ignorant pagans such as yourselves. You people should start living your own lives rather then passing judgement on others for living theirs.
"To us our deeds, to you yours, peace be upon you, we do not seek the ignorant." (Quran)

What improblus maximus said.
yes there will be a war and guess what.
your going to lose when that one day comes.
and I swear to god you will suffer the pain of the burning fire.
When that war comes, you will see what will happen. And you will regret what you said.

This is for the ignorant people out there whose minds are so bleak and primitive.....Islam is the truth!!! more than money, more than status, more than the bias media portraying it to be, believe or not, we will all die one day and find out what the real is!!!!! So before anybody says anything about islam, learn about it first, then you might realize why a man left a 50 million dollar contract to be righteous.

wow... um..I haven't read all the comments.. but I just wanted to say that I'm a CONVERT TO ISLAM. And I happen to be a WHITE American. And I love my Afro-American bro Dave Chapelle, he's a great, nice, wonderfully funny, super talented guy. So he's decided to be a practising Muslim? so freakin what. I'm really happy for him, but people shouldn't hate him or dislike him just because his faith is different than theres.. Islam is the fastest growing religion, like it or not, get used to it.

No one religion stands for slavery, MUSLIM POWER. And even if a group of a certain religion DOES practice slavery, they do not represent the religion itself.

Is there anything the Japanese can't improve? One day I hope the Japanese figure out how to flash-fry a buffallo in 30 seconds. Until then, we'll have to settle for whale burgers! Al Jazeera:
Hold on. Just give me a second to breathe. In through the nose, out through the mouth. I need to sit down. This has to be some kind of sick joke.
