Bill Maher is really turning into a vile racist

181. Yes but Muslim is not a race, it is a religion chosen by people of all races, Muslims are not all

Arabic, nor Persian, there are of course millions of Indonesian, African, 23% of US Muslims are black, another 26% are from South Asia.
To claim that a chosen behavior is an inborn characteristic is not really accurate. I know people in many faiths who were born in another faith, I have never met anyone who was born white who did not remain white. Born Asian, die Asian. Born Catholic, die B'hai, Muslim, Baptist, whatever, the world is your buffet of options, religions wise. Some individuals run through a number of them in a lifetime.
This particular area of verbiage is where many of the people who defend religion end up sounding like anti gay bigots from the far right wing, because they suggest that religion is also inborn and immutable which it very clearly and demonstratively is not. They do so in order to co-opt teh gay.
Islam and Christianity both seek converts. The practice of each of those faiths makes the choice of religious faith not only explicit but a very basic element of the faiths. If religion is like race or sexuality, an inborn characteristic, then why do both Muslims and Christians seek to convert not only one another but those in other faiths to their own faith?
