FAINT: Bill Maher SCHOOLS PBS Host Charlie Rose Over Islam's 'Illiberal Beliefs'

What I find kind of sick however, is that Bill Marh is "a Godless headonistic atheist" unless he's talking about a religion that you don't like. If he's right about Islam, then he;s right about Christianity as well. That's the only logical conclusion that can be reached.

... that isn't even a logical conclusion.

No, it isn't. How is this even an argument? Just because a person is right about one thing doesn't mean he is right about other similar things.

1+1=2

2+2=3

Your argument is busted.

Why is that so surprising? Maher has long been critical of Islam.

Only those who dismiss Maher as a left wing loon wouldn't know this. He's not my cup of tea, but his stance on Islam has always been supported by facts.

Islamists feed on resentment of the west mucking around in their part of the world.

That's the problem. Its too easy for an otherwise moderate Muslim to say "**** those westerners, that's what they get".

Without that, "support" would be less. Hell, they might even turn to us for help. But they're left with a choice between our meddling and nutjobs.

And now they've decided to 'muck around' in our part of the world and they react with horror when they are met with the hostility they deserve.

He's talking about religion.

Yes, he is. And being right about one religion doesn't mean he is automatically right about all religions.

Maher claimed the Saudis behead too. Any videos of this? Any proof whatsoever?

They behead with a sword. They cut the hands off of thieves. They flog with both whip and cane. It's Islamic law, surely you know that.

That's a crock - their "jihad" is unprovoked....

War to them even when it has nothing to do with religion is Armageddon..... It's a war against Islam - not a war against extremist terrorists.

We're not fighting Islam - Islam is fighting us and non-Muslims in general.

Certainly doesn't feel like were at war with one of the largest religions on the planet.

Feels like a relative handful of jackasses.

Well, if you want to ignore reality then that is fine.

Uh, right. So because you hate Muslums he's right about Islam. Let's review: Mahr is astute enough to be right about radcial Islam, but he's not astute enough to be right about Christians.

Sure; that has to be it.

You can not compare the beheadings in Saudi to Isis beheadings. It is like comparing a neck snapping hanging to stringing someone up in a tree. One is fast and humane the other is slow and cruel.

Are you serious? Did you just post this?

You are saying it's alright to murder people as long as it is done quickly. How ridiculous!
