Bill Maher Was Spot On Last Night And A Great Asset To Left-Liberals

[Joel thakkar]

1) Islam is not a race. It is a religion. Thus, i don't think he is racist. If you say he is anti-religion, it should be a compliment.

2) Fareed Zakaria actually agreed with him on many points and said "Islam has a cancer in it"..

3) Fareed also agreed on the pew research surveys that maher cites often and said that he will agree to the survey finding and not dispute it.

3) Only thing Fareed disagreed with Bill was that : the method from which the cancer should be removed from Islam. He said telling people : "your religion is motherload of shit and craziness" is not the best way. From what i get, fareed wants muslim to reform their religion and throw away fanatical ideas. While, on the other hand, Bill thinks that religion itself is a bad concept and would be better if muslims became atheist or more like salman rushdie or taslima nasreen.

4) If someone is so glad with "Fareed Zakaria's" stand on this issue..you will love how he is a self proclaimed "pro" capitalist who always spews his agenda for drastic cuts in social security, medicare and tax cuts for the big companies.

5) Just because bill makes anti-islam or anti-Christianity comment...doesn't mean that he is not anti-Hinduism or anti-Buddhism..both religons are not mainly in news in USA...while Christianity and Islam is..

6) His "Chocolate Jesus" may be taken literally or in context of joke..but don't forget he was a strong supporter of obama, both in 2008 and 2012. He also donated $1 Million for obama Super Pac in 2012 and yes, he has always stood for black rights..whether it in Ferguson or Chicago or in any deep south town..He also criticized cops arresting/beating/shooting black people and always stands for drug reforms and legalization which helps the black community..Oh yes, a racist who is also dating black woman...she must be attracted to him due to his racist anti-black stands..right ?

7) Few peoples quote his old interview with Israel president "Netanyahu" and says he is a Zionist and anti-muslim...but if those people had time to see latest episode where he specifically said with senator elizabeth warren - "We are Pro-Israel but not like conservatives/republican". He said in the context where he and warren both supports the "US-Iran" deal and don't oppose it like Israel's prime minister "Netanyahu" or Republicans.

8) He also said that "Hillary has my vote but not my money" and offered $1 Million to Senator warren if she runs for presidency. Thus, nice way to alienate a guy who has supported obama in his last 2 campaigns and supports senator warren who is a true liberal unlike hillary who is more of a centrist.

9) Also, he has also exposed american hypocrisy by bombing one by one muslim country and then expecting them not to chant "anti-american" slogans. He has always said that USA should stay out of middle east war and middle eastern countries should solve the problem on their own.

10) Also the argument that Muslims feel threatened by the way bill maher speaks is bull-shit...yeah as if he is beheading them like isis or discriminating them in any way or threatening to kill them / blow them up.. He is not even protesting against anyone..while muslims protested against him during that "Berkeley" incident.

11) Also, a bigot is a person who cannot tolerate opposing views..if he is a bigot, why he keeps on inviting people like fareed, ben affleck, rula jebreal, reza aslam on his show when he knows that they will have opposing views ? It is a proof that he likes to have a debate with people who have opposing views. This is a virtue of a liberal and completely opposite to a bigot. Oh and by the way, his famous and most intense critic "Reza Aslam" is a good friend of him in real life and he personally has said that bill is not a bigot.
