Bill Maher on Islam spat with Ben Affleck: “We’re liberals! We’re not crazy tea-baggers”

[cpwm17]

16. The US has a terrible history of supporting aggressive wars against Muslim countries.

Bill Maher and Sam Harris support many of these imperial adventures. Torture supporting Sam Harris is a full-fledged neocon, and Bill Maher displays his imperial arrogance by dehumanizing many of the victims of these imperial adventures.

They both were major cheerleaders of Israel's atrocities against the Gaza Strip. Some bigot tried to post in GD one of Sam Harris' bigoted pieces supporting Israel's aggression against the Gaza Strip. Fortunately the post was promptly hidden.

Bill Maher has claimed that Arabs and Muslim only know violence and the only way to deal with Muslims is with violence. He openly supports Israel's ethnic cleansing campaign against Arabs because he considers Jewish lives far more worthy than Muslim and Arab lives.

Bill Maher and Sam Harris are both dangerous religious extremists.


THE MUSLIMS ARE COMING!!! by Sam Haris: http://articles.latimes.com/2006/sep/18/opinion/oe-harris18

But my correspondence with liberals has convinced me that liberalism has grown dangerously out of touch with the realities of our world -- specifically with what devout Muslims actually believe about the West, about paradise and about the ultimate ascendance of their faith.

On questions of national security, I am now as wary of my fellow liberals as I am of the religious demagogues on the Christian right.

This may seem like frank acquiescence to the charge that "liberals are soft on terrorism." It is, and they are.

A cult of death is forming in the Muslim world -- for reasons that are perfectly explicable in terms of the Islamic doctrines of martyrdom and jihad. The truth is that we are not fighting a "war on terror." We are fighting a pestilential theology and a longing for paradise.

Here it is in his book 'The End of Faith': http://www.samharris.org/site/full_text/response-to-controversy2

What will we do if an Islamist regime, which grows dewy-eyed at the mere mention of paradise, ever acquires long-range nuclear weaponry? If history is any guide, we will not be sure about where the offending warheads are or what their state of readiness is, and so we will be unable to rely on targeted, conventional weapons to destroy them. In such a situation, the only thing likely to ensure our survival may be a nuclear first strike of our own. Needless to say, this would be an unthinkable crime—as it would kill tens of millions of innocent civilians in a single day—but it may be the only course of action available to us, given what Islamists believe. How would such an unconscionable act of self-defense be perceived by the rest of the Muslim world? It would likely be seen as the first incursion of a genocidal crusade.

He plays these same games to create scenarios where torture is justified. He supported the Iraq War and supports an aggressive foreign policy against Muslims. It is clear who is a danger to this world.

He has some similarities to William Bennett who has also written on morality, and who is also morally retarded. Here's William Bennett speaking to a radio caller:

But I do know that it's true that if you wanted to reduce crime, you could -- if that were your sole purpose, you could abort every black baby in this country, and your crime rate would go down. That would be an impossible, ridiculous, and morally reprehensible thing to do, but your crime rate would go down.

One fantasizes about racist abortions and the other fantasizes about genocide - two birds of a feather.
