  • Traveling is a big topic for Muslim comedians because we have to go to the airport, looking like this.

  • Ok, let me tell you something right now.

  • It's really weird to me that people are scared of me in an airport.

  • Cause if everybody think about it, I'm the most scared guy in the airport.

  • I am most likely to get shot over a misunderstanding, in an airport, right?

  • The TSA thing that my heart is already racing, man.

  • I put my bag on the conveyor, but there is a little voice in my head.

  • Oh my god, what's gonna happen now?

  • What's gonna happen now?

  • There's an argument in myself.

  • Nothing's gonna happen now, stupid.

  • There's nothing in your bag.

  • Yeah, but still...

  • It's a good point!

  • I saw you were nervous, but you've got that scary signs in the airport chasing around.

  • If you see something, say something...

  • It's pretty ambiguous set of instructions.

  • If you see something...

  • Say something...

  • I am in (the) airport and...

  • I see a lot of things.

  • I should say something.

  • What should I say?

  • "Something."

  • Ok, here we go.

  • (Arabic: God is the greatest!)

  • I am doing a good job in the airport.

  • I am gonna die in (the) airport.

  • Is that fair?

  • I followed the airport instructions.

  • Go test me, bro.

  • Then you get to the gate.

  • You should be able to calm down.

  • Calm your nerves at the gate.

  • Oh, no.

  • The US government thought it's a good idea to put a TV screen and every boarding gate in America, join 24/7 news coverage of CNN.

  • "Still you shit happening right now."

  • I was just minding my business at the gate trying to chill out and there was a TV screen above my head.

  • Showing an Isis beheading .

  • Everybody at the gate looking at Isis.

  • Looking at me.

  • Looking at Isis.

  • Looking at me.

  • Isis, me.

  • I just wanna be like, "I didn't do it."

  • I'm in Chicago with you.

  • Look, it says live.

  • It's happening right now.

  • How can that be...

  • Damn, it says recording, aren't you?

  • It could be me?

  • Hypothetically, theoretically, it's not me!

  • And by the way, if this is me, you have bigger problems: I am already at the gate.

  • Ridiculous, man.

  • They start pretending TSA works.

  • If it did, we wouldn't be so nervous at the gate.

  • And the thing is, it really gets on someone's nerves because the thing bothers me when everybody is staring at me.

  • Seriously.

  • The passengers are staring.

  • The employees are staring.

  • The dogs are staring.

  • Alright, I wanna make this very clear.

  • I'm not a terrorist.

  • I never been a terrorist.

  • I never want to be a terrorist.

  • I am, however, "terrorist-ish."

  • Don't get scared, I'll tell you what that means.

  • It means when I'm standing there, and everybody is staring at me.

  • Give me real me dirty looks.

  • His little voice goes off on the back of my head like...

  • You know what?

  • I'm not terrorist but if I was...

  • Kill all you racist mother fuckers.

  • Stop staring at me.

  • It's just hair on my face.

  • All it means exactly (is) I eat spaghetti in public.

  • A lot of shampoo and conditioner.

  • And find the split ends for years.

  • And the only worse of all, that is the moment I am going to get on the plane.

  • People are in shock.

  • There is a middle of conversations they said, " Where are you from? What do you..."

  • "I'm gonna die."

  • "Honey, I love you."

  • "He's so (sc)ary."

  • "He keeps staring at me."

  • "He punches in son of the face."

  • And I'll be honest, New York City.

  • Can I be totally honest with you?

  • Totally honest?

  • I don't really understand what these people are so scared of.

  • I don't get it.

  • Cause think about it.

  • If I was a crazy Muslim fundamentalist terrorist about to hijack the plane, this is probably not the disguise I would go with.

  • Doesn't exactly slip you under the radar.

  • Of course everybody's are real nice to me once the plane safely lands.

  • And they just slinging over and smiling...

  • I'm just waiting for an honest answer that end the play.

  • "Excuse me sir, I thought you gonna kill us."

  • "Sorry about that."

  • "Everybody I was about to go to the bathroom", and I was gonna stab you.

  • My name is Azhar Usman and thank you for your listen.
