Holy Mary Mother of God.

I agree 100 percent with Bill Maher on something.

Ellison was attracted to Islam because of "social justice"? What? Tell that to women. How much "social justice" do Muslims afford them?

The woman thing is a cultural thing, not nessecarily direction from the Quran.

Do not forget, there are passages in the bible that say it is ok to sell your daughter into slavery exodus 21:7.

I have a Quran.

It's not better or worse then the bible in these regards.

Islamic Extremists take things out of context in the Quran to justify things that are unjustifiable.

Did you listen to what Ellison said? He was absolutely dead on the mark.

Finding causation in religion is wrong. They don't do what they do because they're muslim.

Their goals are ultimately political and stem from global politics....

Bill Maher's always been pretty anti-religion in general, and that includes Islam.

No. He has never blasted Judiasim like every other religion. He knows he does that the hand that is feeding him would be snapping his neck. And to top that off, he is Jewish. So he would never hurt his own religion. Even though he claims he does not follow his religion. His religion got him to where he is today.

He's an atheist, so I don't think he's a practicing Jews But the difference is that both Christianity and Islam are proselytizing religions, so obviously he's got a lot more to talk about with those two.

You didn't watch Religiolous did you?

I was about to say.

Fantastic movie wasn't it?

I haven't seen it but I don't entirely agree with Maher's uber-atheist stance so I doubt I'd like it.
 
Re: Bill Maher tells Rep. Ellison the Quran is a ‘hate-filled holy book’ that inspire

No I didn't.

You should, it completely disproves your assertion.

Yes, it was quite funny. Even though I'm religious.

It's funny enough.

Kinda pokes fun at every body.

Though I've lost alot of respect for him after watching tis clip.

Not taht I had a WHOLE bunch to begin with.

Jon "Stew Beef" Stewart is still my man. I think Maher hits the nail on the head on some issues, misses it on others.

Jon Stewart is hands down my favorite political commentator, he's on the money 99% of the time.

Ahhh, kind of like a Middle Eastern version of Pat Robertson. :mrgreen:
 
Re: Bill Maher tells Rep. Ellison the Quran is a ‘hate-filled holy book’ that inspire

As someone mentioned earlier its scary when you start actually agreeing with Bill Maher. :confused: Of course Maher better watch what he says, he could be seeing death threats for critisizing Islam.

The woman thing is a cultural thing, not nessecarily direction from the Quran.
You are wrong,actually its the other way around, the Koran is full of stuff that puts women down as second class humans. Culturally it isnt always practiced that way. Unfortunatly its more than you'd think.

Link-Women worth less than men

Link- How women have to prove rape

Link- Wife Beating

Theres more to it than that, but I think you get the picture......

Do not forget, there are passages in the bible that say it is ok to sell your daughter into slavery exodus 21:7.
Is this all you can come up with, so when was the last time this was commonly practiced?

I have a Quran.
Apparently you dont read it

It's not better or worse then the bible in these regards.
And this statement proves you dont read it

Islamic Extremists take things out of context in the Quran to justify things that are unjustifiable.
Islamic extremists are taking the Koran quite literally, its the more moderate muslims that dont follow everything it says.

Did you listen to what Ellison said? He was absolutely dead on the mark.
This guy is a fraud and a bad actor, did anyone actually believe he was really crying & really meant it?

Their goals are ultimately political and stem from global politics....
You are misssing that mark by a mile, look at Iran.... in Sharia the laws of Islam are part of the political structure. There is no separation of Mosque and state.

I would of thought that you would of known this?

Kind of like Jews own the world and Jews own the moon threads?

He is known for saying stupid stuff... he is also known for saying a lot of sexist stuff. He really is a wacko on many levels.. However, he is funny sometimes and I like his standup.
 
Re: Bill Maher tells Rep. Ellison the Quran is a ‘hate-filled holy book’ that inspire

Bill Maher is a horrible hypocrite when it comes to religion, because he has his own religion of his own although he'd never admit it. Atheism is his religion and by religion I mean a "view of the universe and nature of existence" he approaches his atheism the same way a TV evangelical approaches Christianity, there's no room for compromise and anyone outside of their beliefs is prosecuted for it. The only difference is the name of their belief. I mean what happens when a religious guest or leader of a religious group appears on his show? He attacks them the same way a hyper religious and arrogant person attacks a person of a different religion.

Jews are a race, not a religion.

That's not what he said. He was quoting another writer, asking some tough questions about the overall tone in the Quran.

Rep. Ellison answered brilliantly, articulated how any scripture can be used for negative purposes.

Um, atheism is not a religion, but a philosophy that all religions are false. The terms atheism and religion are therefore mutually exclusive.
