Bill Maher has lost his mind.

I already knew that he was radical towards the muslim culture, but his interview with AC a few days ago was just bizarre. So bizarre that it makes Rush Limbaugh look like a novice in hatred. When he spoke on muslims and looping them with that crazy bomber in NY he said that it is plainly because we are "better". He also went on to say that muslims bring that "sand stuff" with them. Not joking. He also claimed that we (as Americans) were the "civilized" group. And if that wasnt ridiculous enough, he also said that the reason why the person in NY guy tried to bomb Times Square was because he was spoiled by american values and goods that he felt "guilty" about abandoning I guess what Bill would call an edict of the Muslim culture.

He kept on talking about americans and how we are better, but what was so eye opening was that he claimed that he doesnt know what is in the quran, but he somehow knows that the Bible somehow has less radical stuff than the quran does. And then for our american views he used the vatican to make a contrast from muslims. lol. First of all, how the heck is he going to claim what book is "less radical" without even reading one of them. And second, what does the Vatican have to do with american views.

Anyway, this guy on hollywood blvd was passing out tickets to the Bill Maher show today and I picked up a few lol!!!!!! I wonder if I should go or not.

Where is the video link I think you might be leaving some stuff out just to make him seem real biased.

Edit: nevermind lol.

He stated that our culture is better because of the equality of women. That, and the fact that we don't riot because of cartoons, were the main things that he was talking about when he made that point.Engrish_Major

"....that catches the right-wing, they're against terrorism but for guns...":roll: Good one Bill. You can almost see this guy giving himself a mental high-five every time he thinks he makes a good point.

"We" Who is "we", just because our hatred for others might be different, doesnt necessarily mean that we are "better". peaceoutmedusa

"We" the western culture U.S.A "they" the Middle East and in terms of freedom of speech and the way we treat our women yes it is usually better in the west.

Oh my god he said something good about America? Yeah that's probably something his audience hates.

Personally I don't care for the shock-"jock" types like Limbaugh and Maher. I don't care for their Atheism, Christianity or hatred for Islam.

I think he's just using comon sense, it doesn't take a genius to figure out which religion is more radical, just look at the most recent attempt in Time's Square. Christians follow the new testament which has pretty much nothing radical in it...

I don't think we should give guns to terrorists either. If people can generalize and blame any other religion why can't I do it to Islam?

[QUOTE="peaceoutmedusa"][QUOTE="Engrish_Major"] He is. A culture that values equality of the sexes, along with freedom of speech (i.e., not rioting and killing dozens because of a cartoon) is better than one that doesn't. And, he wasn't talking about Christian vs. Islam. He doesn't like any religion.JustusCF

You asked who "We" are and I was talking about peoples freedom. Yes lets bring up the atomic bomb because that has nothing to what I said.

What you are doing is somehow linking terrorists with the quran when 1, you dont know anything about the quran, and 2, you dont understand that terrorism has more to do with human evil than any type of religion.peaceoutmedusa

[QUOTE="peaceoutmedusa"] 1st of all there is a link. And secondly, why the heck is Bill Maher of all people claiming a less radical religion when he doesnt even know what the quran says in it.peaceoutmedusa

I agree with you. I didn't mean to use "radical" in such a bad way, most christians would cower down in fear and pray, as opposed to Jihad with Muslims. Christians just aren't as radical...

I get what you're saying bro, I'm not into the wars either. Don't hate Muslims, Atheists or Christians.

I'm not the biggest Maher fan, and I really am skeptical about whether or not he believes all the things he says, but there is some truth to what he is getting at. Maybe this is just my horrible ethnocentrism acting up, but when you compare western and American values to the values advocated by these radical, Islamists who believe in global jihad, the former does appear much more civilized and much more humane. -Sun_Tzu-

But bill isnt talking mostly about womens rights, and from my little knowledge of the quran, it doesnt say to kill the person who made a cartoon of muhammed. We would have muslims everywhere trying to kill them now.peaceoutmedusa

[QUOTE="Danm_999"][QUOTE="Engrish_Major"]Here's the original bit on his show. He does mention women's rights. His main points are, our culture is better because we don't threaten to kill cartoonists, subjugate women, or gas girl's schools.

peaceoutmedusa

Which was alot tamer than alot of other crap he has spewed to shock and awe in the pass. No proof that he has lost his mind, in fact I think he was being quit rational this time around.

For him to use racial statements like "brining that sand stuff" and "simply we're better" isnt being tolerant at all.
