I'm sorry, explain to me how making money by fooling bigoted assholes is anything except funny as hell? Unethical, sure, but I respect the hustle.
It sounds like you're mad cause you could have fallen for it, given your apparent /r/atheism attitude you're displaying here.
Also, it does sound like he didn't know what was going on with the videos. The onus is still on the bigoted dipshits who gave him an audience.
He's not a bystander though, he is encouraging racist ideas and thoughts. I see spreading hate as a bad thing, and the fact that Alex Jones or this guy got rich off it makes me actually more angry, not impressed by his hustle.
Islam isn't a race
Race isn't a real thing, scientifically speaking, it is a social construct (like 'justice', or the 'Easter Bunny'). 'Racism' is actually a shorthand for ethnocentrism.
But racists treat it like one.
Because it feeds the hatred, purely for money. There is nothing even remotely funny about it. We know the followers of right wing ideologies, be they British white fascists or Pakistani Islamists are stupid and easily fooled, but also potentially violent, and a lot of innocent people are likely to get hurt from them, in part because of the stupid propaganda hate they have consumed.
