American actor Giancarlo Esposito has embraced Islam during his stay in Saudi Arabia while filming a new entertainment project, according to reports.

Turki Al-Sheikh, Chairman of Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority, reportedly revealed that the actor formally embraced Islam after spending time in the Kingdom and working closely with Muslim colleagues during production.

According to Al-Sheikh, Esposito recited the Shahada, the Islamic declaration of faith, and later joined members of the production team in prayer at a mosque.

A video shared on social media reportedly showed the actor praying alongside crew members, drawing widespread attention online.

Al-Sheikh said Esposito’s decision followed a positive personal experience in Saudi Arabia, where he appreciated the hospitality, sense of community and warm reception he received while working on the project.

The development has prompted considerable discussion on social media, particularly among fans who have followed Esposito’s career across film and television over several decades.

Esposito is best known for portraying Gus Fring in the acclaimed television series Breaking Bad and its spin-off Better Call Saul. He has also earned recognition for his performances in The Mandalorian and numerous major Hollywood productions.

The actor is currently in Saudi Arabia working on 7 Dogs, a major production that forms part of the Kingdom’s growing entertainment sector.

A lot of niggers get one shotted by Muslim hospitality when they first go to an islamic country and revert. They probably think they will always be treated that way in islamic culture. It's only viable for them to treat new people with such excess because guests are so rare.

Yeah. Muslim hospitality culture is crazy and I can see people getting taken in by it. Like to the point where they will shame merchants who gouge Western tourists. But Dubai is an established tourist destination and I doubt you'll get that same level of hospitality because like you said, it's the Muslim countries that don't get many visitors that ball out for the occasional tourist. And then there was the Taliban on xitter saying it's totally a safe destination.

 

[From The Uncanny Valley]

Last chance to look at me, infidel.

 

[Fount of BadSpeak]

Well, yeah. Demons love evil. There's a reason so many washed up nobodies have gone to Saudi Arabia and sucked up mudslimes in recent years.

>formally
so, in other words, he was given the choice of either endorsing the pedophile rapist religion or receiving an unhealthy dose of steel to his throat

Even when evil niggers get paid to go endorse an evil religion, it's still somehow not their fault?

 

[Crex Crex]

Why would anyone who's grown up in the West be attracted to such an illiberal, repulsive religion? Actors are fucked in the head man.

 

[pwnest injun]

Isn't he gay? Well he's at about Zendaya/Pascal levels of fatigue anyway.

No, he's just a communist nigger.

 

[Pierre D'Olnique]

Even when evil niggers get paid to go endorse an evil religion, it's still somehow not their fault?

it'd be hard to blame anyone for taking the reasonable side in a "say this or die" situation

 

[Chad Holdenford]

Oh so that's why he was openly calling for bloody revolution and overtaking of US institutions some time ago. He was just rehearsing the needed mindset to become a muslim.

Whatever. Fuck off, Buggin Out.

 

[Escalating Violence]

You must cook meth Señior Blanco, Inshallah!

 

[TheRedChair]

Well, In the past few years, he has been wigging out pretty badly. So he became a Muslim. Not the smartest move for a rich man.

 

[los pepes]

For these types of blacks (see dave chappelle, malcolm x etc) whose sole identity for their lives is just their skin color and hating white people/america this is the inevitable pipeline. Basically the flipside of chuds embracing odinism or whatever pagan larp they can as their final outburst against mommy and daddy and the Christian americana that malds them so. Reading gus twitter spergouts over the past few years this is not surprising one single bit. In fact it was inevitable. Whether they pick this path or fedora atheism just depends on which one they view as more directly antithetical to western civilization.

 

[holyhandgrenade]

Breaking Bad was always boring and the only reason people like it is because it is "edgy". ALso isn't this guy literally a faggot?

 

[TowinKarz]

Great, now he can get half his face blown off for real instead of with CGI.



And of course he embraced it... he's an actor and they're all ignorant that the version of Islam they get shown is like the version of Scientology they get shown: The special non-abusive kind that they will then encourage the masses to sign up for - ignorant the masses will get the coach class version of it.

All the oppression with none of the fancy comped temple banquets.

 

[Quijibo69]

I think this guy has been to every comic con for the past 5 years and nobody cares. Every comic con I've been to for the last few years he's been there.

Yes, it can be pretty funny getting scammed to death in India and then crossing over into Muslim Pakistan where restaurant owners will not let you pay, merchants will just give you some item you show interest in for free or even insist you stay at their home instead of using a hotel. You can see this in some Karl Rock videos on youtube. It's honestly very awkward because you feel like you are left in debt to them and putting them under undue strain when they are already impoverished.
Cassius Clay became Mohammad Ali because of the hospitality he experienced overseas. Niggers just want to be wined and dined like royalty I suppose.

Taqiyya brainwashes many who should know better.

Now I understand why he wants to destroy the West.

 

[SpotOnTheWall]

Wallahi he has joined Bryan Cranston in the ummah

 

[EleventySeven]

Isn't he gay? Well he's at about Zendaya/Pascal levels of fatigue anyway.

Gus on Breaking Bad was gay, but Giancarlo is not.

It always amazes me that blacks think joining Islam is some way to get back at whitey. I know the dawah retards won't tell Mr. Hollywood Negro this but let's see what Mohammad said about black things.

Sahih Muslim 510a [a]

The Messenger of 'Allah said: When any one of you stands for prayer and there is a thing before him equal to the back of the saddle that covers him and in case there is not before him (a thing) equal to the back of the saddle, his prayer would be cut off by (passing of an) ass, woman, and black Dog. I said: O Abu Dharr, what feature is there in a black dog which distinguish it from the red dog and the yellow dog? He said: O, son of my brother, I asked the Messenger of Allah as you are asking me, and he said: The black dog is a devil.

The black dog is a devil and can ruin your prayer? Hmm, weird. I'm sure it's just some weird pre-Islamic tradition they're holding onto right?

Sahih Muslim 1602 [a]

There came a slave and pledged allegiance to Allah's Apostle on migration; he (the Holy Prophet) did not know that he was a slave. Then there came his master and demanded him back, whereupon Allah's Apostle said: Sell him to me. And he bought him for two black slaves, and he did not afterwards take allegiance from anyone until he had asked him whether he was a slave (or a free man)

So Mohammad was a slave trader and he bought a slave for 2 black slaves? Kinda sounds like the 'regular' slave was worth 2 black slaves, showing Mohammad thought black slaves were inferior to others. Why would Mohammad think black slaves are bad?

Mishkat al-Masabih 119 [a] [Grade: Isnad Hasan (good)]

Abud Darda' reported God’s messenger as saying, “God created Adam when He created him and struck his right shoulder and brought forth his offspring white like small ants. And he struck his left shoulder and brought forth his offspring black as though they were charcoal. Then He said to the party on his right side, ‘To paradise, and I do not care’ and He said to the party in his left shoulder, ‘To hell, and I do not care’.”

Wow, so when God created Adam's offspring, the good ones were white and they were for paradise and the black ones are bad and destined for Hell? If I thought God created black people for Hell, I'd probably treat them inferior too.

Maybe you think, "Come on, Bloodfeast Islam Man, this is just colors they're talking about. Mohammad is poet or something and just using descriptive language." Let's check one last one.

Sahih Muslim 1066g [a]

The Messenger of Allah described their characteristics and I found these characteristics in them. They state the truth with their tongue, but it does not go beyond this part of their bodies (and the narrator pointed towards his throat). The most hateful among the creation of Allah is one black man among them (Khawarij)

Wow, this is pretty explicit. Would you want to join a religion that calls people like you 'the most hateful among the creations of God'?

Enjoy worshipping a pedophile warlord who enslaved your ancestors and thought they were lesser than other races, retard.

FWIW, I'm only finding this reported in the Arab media, and fairly marginal outlets at that.
