He looks like the most chilled out dude on the planet.

When you’re an Arab kid, your dads friends are your uncles... FACTS😂

[untitledundefined]

I don’t think his statements were meant to be broken down and analyzed to that extent. The interview is between a talk show host and a stand up comedian, not between two religious leaders.

I'm a Muslim revert of 2 years now and I relate to this show so much. Growing up in the west and trying to adopt the east is HARD! Please make du'a for me. May Allah bless Ramy and his family and grant us all Jannah. Ameen.

[hadjokhan]

In islam you are not allowed to "confess" to humans.

Allah already knows what you did. Just ask for forgiveness and dont do it again ;)

[sarandipitiqwe]

Man we pray 5 times daily not only Friday noon?!😂

[SR-ihgh]

I don’t understand the need to clarify how Muslims pray in the comments section.. Ramy said “we pray on Friday, ” which is true. He never said we only pray on Friday.

[northernsnowberry]

That "thank you" was more sincere than I think Stephen meant to evoke. <3

[MsSHINeeTVXQSuju]

Muslims (are supposed to) pray every day, lmao, Friday is just prayer in congregation. Also, confession in islam is done directly with god, lmao, you don't need an intermediary, you just ask for forgiveness from Him directly, which is more dope, no?

[skooliemom]

This guy has such a chill personality. His show looks good.

[IHappyChicken]

I adore the fact that they can have a conversation about religion. Two great men

[newonevery]

How chill is this dude?
What happens when he gets high?

[adeebifteqar]

We don’t just pray on Friday*
We pray FIVE times a day

[captainjacksparrow]

Allah help him and all of us pray everyday 5 times a day.

5 a day keeps Jahannam away... ameen

[VLF]

Dang I wanted to hear him speak longer. He’s so chill

[ar]

As a converted muslim I love Asian food. Not only that but I love the people. Peace & love.

[valorous]

You go to church on Sunday and”God i don’t know what that all was” lol epic

[TraneFrancks]

That was a great segment. Probably a bit too short given how good the guest was.

[barakamosha]

Getting a car wash before a hurricane 😂😂😂

[juanjimenez]
