"But when you go to Lebanon, you hear: 'May your religion be cursed!' 'May your God be cursed!' May your whatever be cursed... They curse Allah! They curse your religion! Everybody curses the religion."He continued that the Lebanese "curse Allah and His religion, and you expect Him to give you success? This might be the main reason for the torment you are experiencing. The cursing of Allah has become as prevalent as the drinking of water."He said that, "in the Lebanese media they bring people who tell sexual jokes! Cash! Cash! You all saw it and know what I'm talking about. Can anything infuriate Allah more than this? "Each Lebanese must go out on the street and cut out with scissors the tongue of anyone cursing Allah. You want to get better? Start with that and you shall see how Allah will change your situation for the better."Lebanon's government resigned on Monday due to popular protests against the ruling political class.Many Lebanese citizens have accused their country's leaders, including the terrorist movement Hezbollah, of culpability due to their alleged negligence and corruption.Peter Tatchell, the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) and human rights campaigner, told The Jerusalem Post on Tuesday that "Blaming Lebanese people for this catastrophic tragedy is breathtakingly offensive – and factually absurd. Ansari is supposed to be an academic, but his irrational, bigoted rant sounds more akin to the ramblings of a foul-mouthed street thug. It is racist towards Lebanese people, as well as homophobic and sexist." Tatchell added that "The tone and content of his comments suggest someone with huge anger issues. He incites people to violence with his call for them to cut out the tongues of Lebanese who do not share his religious fanaticism. On the issue of homosexuality, Ansari should look in his own backyard of Qatar where homosexuality is just as prevalent as in Lebanon, but hidden behind a mask of hypocrisy. And, unlike racist Qatar, most Lebanese do not treat migrant workers like semi-slave labor."
