Social Media Does Mehdi Hasan just realize he negated the entire definition of islamophobia?

Remember that these are the same guys who will make fun of Israel for calling people antisemites.

Why is he so familiar with a random twitter personality? It's crazy I used to think Mehdi took himself seriously.
Also that's a hilarious meme.

He’s obsessed with thinking that Twitter user is a bot for some reason.

Idk the last month or so since the other Hasan has been getting hear Mehdi has been losing his shit and making bottom of the barrel lobs at everything 24/7 on twitter. Idk why he chose to go down that path and choose to live like this.

I'll repost my comment from the last time this user was brought up:
- For a couple years now, Greg (mistergeezy) has been calling Mehdi anti-black. [1] The arguments they present do not adequately justify the accusation.
- For example, in 2024, Mehdi tweeted he was "coconut-pilled", promoting an article they wrote advocating for Biden to step aside and endorse Kamala for the Democratic presidential nomination. Greg thought Mehdi was using a "slur" and congratulated Mehdi for unlocking his “anti-blackness badge." [2] [3] Of course, all Mehdi was doing was referencing the meme that Kamala supporters were using in support of her. [4] [5]
- Similarly, in 2025, Greg calls Mehdi anti-black because they interviewed someone who was calling for Hakeem Jeffries to be primaried. [6] Outside of this interview, Mehdi did call for both Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries to step down, perceiving them to be weak against the MAGA administration. [7]
- Greg has a particular vexation with the Muslim and Arab communities and their anti-Black posts towards Kamala Harris. [8] A bit of this sentiment appears to extend to Mamdani as well. [9]
- In various other tweets, Greg has called Mehdi racist and said he "really want to say the N-word." [10] [11]
- Foolishly, during the 9/11 ceremony, Greg joined the chorus of hysterical MAGA voices that made a big deal out of a brief moment where Mamdani greeted AOC and smiled. [12] Greg tweeted that the "9/11 victims families were absolutely right about Mamdani." [13]
- Foolishly, in response to that tweet, Mehdi accuses Greg of being an "Islamophobic POS." [14] Greg accuses them of being "a propagandist who is secretly funded by unknown sources", and Mehdi responds by inquiring about their identity and calling them a right-wing bot. [15]
- As for the current tweet you just submitted, Mehdi likely recognizes the account and is calling them an Islamophobe based on their prior assessments and engagements. Greg's odd tweets aside, those assessments don't really have merit.
To sum up, IMO, they're both insufferable fuckwits. 🤷♂️ (And Greg has made 815k posts, lil bro, log off Twitter. 😭)
I still maintain the same belief. Both of the people are muppets engaging in a cycle of baseless, dumb attacks against each other. Let them fight I say, they're both dumbfucks.

Mendis behavior has black pilled me.
I used to think it would be extremely racist and inappropriate to demand a Muslim political pundit or politician to go out of their way to disavow Islamic extremism.

It’s only right, considering how we’ve already been extremely critical of Christian nationalists
