He's dead-fricking right.

It's easy to lose perspective when it is not around you every single day, but the hair-pulling on relatively trivial matters - from both sides - makes one virtually numb to domestic cultural issues. I simply don't give a damn about a lot of this social justice warrior crap.

These people are incredibly violent loons, they are legion, and it just so happens that this Syrian war is the first brutal Islamic war that came along after the popularization of social media.

Radical political Islam is a nasty little virus that needs to be eliminated.

It's really crazy the way we're all hemming and hawing over an NFL team's nickname while our citizens are being BEHEADED both at home and abroad by religious fanatics who are taught to wage jihad against anyone - whiteskin, brownskin, yellowskin, or redskin - who doesn't share their retarded religious beliefs.

so Maher has figured out what most of us have known for about a decade or more?


I guess that is a pretty large accomplishment for a retard.

It's still refreshing when the douchebag poster child for right wing hate himself calls ANYTHING out.

He has taken this stance since before 9/11.

Ya the thing that got him in "trouble" was his response that terrorists weren't "cowards" because they are willing to die for their cause, albeit as fricked up as that cause is. Then went on to say that is more brave than some navy guy pushing a button to launch a Tomahawk missile.

I couldn't really disagree with that statement but people blew their lid. That moment and him being a liberal have stuck with him. I do wonder who he talks about more though, Islamic frick heads or the fundamentalist "crazy"* Christians on a daily basis.

*Quoted because while I personally think they can be annoying and stupid, they aren't beheading anybody

He makes the same mistake that the Islamophobic Christians in this country make--he blames religion for anything. He will say that people do bad things because of religion, and that is absurd, especially when you consider that the two men who gleaned the highest body counts in world history did so in the name of the eradication of religion.

The truth is that people do bad things and find an ideology that justifies the bad things that they do. Often that ideology is a religion; it can be nationalism, racism, or any other type of -ism used as a scapegoat for their shameful acts.

The backward American who blames Islam for terrorist attacks is the same guy who says "I'm not homophobic--I just oppose the gay lifestyle because of what the Bible says." Nah, you just don't like gays, and terrorists just don't like people like you. The religious connection isn't the doing of the religion itself; it's the doing of the pussies who can't own up to their own flaws and need to hide behind an ideology to justify why they're scum.

In no way am I comparing being anti-gay to being a terrorist. I would never besmirch the good name of terrorism with such a comparison.

I haven't watched the video yet, but I've never been in lockstep with Maher on the issue of religion, so why would I care what he has to say about Islam? And if you do believe in his religious intelligence, don't you also have to agree with him on Judaism and Christianity? By the way, I also disagree with him on gun control and environmental issues. The only issues where I agree with him are the War of Drugs and Foreign Policy.

No, no, no, no, no!

As long as there are peaceful Muslims in this world, anyone who mentions Muslim violence committed in the name of Islam is a bigoted, hateful Islamophobe.

Don't you people read this board?




PS - Bill Maher gets no points from me for recognizing that water is wet. Besides, he will turn around and agree with those left-wing retards 90% of the time.

Heducate yourself, Maher has been the leader in this for a decade and probably at great risk to himself and others.

Salmon Rushdie has been a staple on his show for longer than you've been able to vote.

Islamic frick heads by at least a 5 to 1 margin. And almost every time he rags on Christians, it's with the caveat that "at least they don't go around beheading people who disagree with them".

Wrong, wrong, wrong. And becoming increasingly more wrong as the baby boomers die off.
