Following this, the YouTuber replied, Andrew should “blow himself up” and prove how committed he is to his religion.
Meanwhile, the co-host tried to point out that he is being stereotyped, however, Geordie didn’t turn around to his comment.

Followed the incident, Andrew came forward and now responded to the remarks made by Geordie as he said, “He’s very insulting, fat, vulgar, he’s a d******d, and an unlikeable person. He’s not very smart, he’s stupid.”
Tate further added, “Now after me converting to Islam, he made a piece on one of his podcasts saying I’m not true in my conversion, and then insulted all Muslims.”
The 35-year-old former professional kick-boxer continued, “Let me tell you something my friend, and True Geordie if you are watching this, this is a message directly to you.
He ended his statement by saying that Geordie shouldn’t have “insulted” Islam by making “ignorant jokes about blowing ourselves up.”

In his statement Geordie expressed, “I made a joke in questioning that ‘newfound faith’ of his, that conveniently comes at a time when he needs as many supporters as he can get. It was a stupid joke.”
He continued, “Obviously, I don’t believe that’s what Muslims actually do… It was a very stupid thing to say. It was an idiotic joke, one I’m sorry for.”
