(33,310 posts)like 10 years +? because I never saw that. I get very fed up with the panel occasionally, mainly because there's never a substantive discussion if there's a Dem pol or a RW pundit on. too shouty. and Bill's not the deepest thinker, but he's on OUR team. he gave Obama a million $ in '12.
Maher's very explicit in calling out the SUPPORT for terror among muslims, which is borne out by surveys, and the cruelty of passages in the Koran and Hadiths that explicitly sanction violence. at least lately.
he has a fair number of muslims on the show - like Ayaan Hirsi Ali - and yes, most of them don't have nice things to say about Islam and its misogyny. he doesn't see many ways to deal with Jihadis except through violence, and he's not alone. most every other country's leaders see it as a legitimate tool.
I have lately seen him talk against our Israel policy passionately and heatedly, so IDK where the Netanyahu accusation is coming from.
