It's not just Trump: Islamophobia in America is spiraling out of control

The problem with Bill Maher is that he feeds into the Islamophobia that is growing in the U.S.

For instance, we all know that there are countries in the world with Islamic governments that are backwards, but instead of criticising these governments, Bill Maher goes a step further and criticises the Islamic religion as though these Islamic governments represent every single person of Muslim faith around the world.

For example, Saudi Arabia forces women to cover in public and executes gay people, etc,, but a Muslim living in the U.S whose wife doesn't cover herself and who has a gay best friend shouldn't have his religion mocked and criticised simply because of the way that the Saudi government practices Islam.

Terrorists interpret the Islamic faith in a way that justifies carrying out terror acts and killing innocents, but a Muslim living in the U.S who doesn't interpret the faith the same way and believes that killing just one innocent person is akin to killing all of mankind shouldn't have his faith mocked and criticised because of some terrorists interpretation of Islam.


Point being that mocking and criticising an entire religion when that religion can be interpreted in different ways by different people only leads to all adherents of that faith being painted under the same brush.

Hence Islamophobia is on the rise, with people accusing any Muslim of being a terrorists etc.
