Bill Maher: Comparing violence of Islam to Christianity “liberal bullsh*t.” Wait, what?
On HBO’s “Real Time” on Friday night, host Bill Maher entertained CSU-San Bernardino professor Brian Levin, director of the Center for Study of Hate and Extremism, who maintained that despite the events in recent days, religious extremism isn’t only a product of Islam.
But Maher took issue with that claim, calling it “liberal bullshit” and said there was no comparison.
“You know what, yeah, yeah,” Maher said. “You know what — that’s liberal bullshit right there … they’re not as dangerous. I mean there’s only one faith, for example, that kills you or wants to kill you if you draw a bad cartoon of the prophet. There’s only one faith that kills you or wants to kill you if you renounce the faith. An ex-Muslim is a very dangerous thing. Talk to Salman Rushdie after the show about Christian versus Islam. So you know, I’m just saying let’s keep it real.”
Levin referenced outspoken Islam critic Pamela Geller as an example to refute Maher’s claim. But, Maher argued there was no comparison and denied he was Islamophobic.
“I am not an Islamophobe,” Maher replied. “I am a truth lover. All religious are not alike. As many people have pointed out — ‘The Book of Mormon,’ did you see the show? … OK, can you imagine if they did ‘The Book of Islam?’ Could they do that? There’s only one religion that threatens violence and carries it out for things like that. Could they do “The Book of Islam” on Broadway?”
Levin said “possibly so,” to which Maher seem dismiss his entire argument going forward.
“You’re wrong about that and you’re wrong about your facts,” Maher said. “Now, obviously, most Muslim people are not terrorists. But ask most Muslim people in the world, if you insult the prophet, do you have what’s coming to you? It’s more than just a fringe element.”
Am I hallucinating?
They’ve replaced our Bill Maher with one from an alternate universe!
I am sick and tired of seeing crap about False Flag attacks being posted by political blogs on the right. There are pictures showing White Hat right next to the little 8 year old boy, with the backpack placed on the ground. The Saudi National that was detained was a witness, and it was a completely different Saudi that was scheduled for deportation. Any conspiracy theories based on the Saudi are obviously not true. Also, i’m sick of seeing guys like Michael Savage post conspiracy theories on Facebook. He recently posted a picture claiming a naked man that was being arrested was Suspect #1, showing that he wasn’t dead. However, anyone following the news knows that a man was stopped and forced to strip because he was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time, and he was later released. Stop listening to these wacky ideas and be critical of anything you hear. I have already started and will continue to unfollow those who believe the Marathon Bombing was a False Flag attack, as all your theories are easily disproven. Feel free to unfollow me as well.

I have a feeling they won’t even acknowledge the fact that their assumptions made an ass of them.

This is good news if it’s true, but after yesterday’s media fiasco, I don’t really trust anything the media is putting out there.
But here’s the tweet from CBS in Boston:

Please signal boost this.
