Bill Maher completely embarrasses Islamic apologist live on the air

[DigitalDrifter]

I watched this last night, Maher as you know is one of the very few, if only, liberal that doesn't constantly apologize for Islam and it's followers.
It will be interesting to see if Maher is allowed to go forward with the Berkeley commencement speech.

I get a laugh when the article mentions that liberals are "split" when it comes to the issue of Islam. Split my ass, you'll never see anything but constant support from liberals.

With the rise of ISIS over the last two months, the debate over Islam and Islamic extremists have made headlines in the United States. While American conservatives are mostly lined up on one side of the issue, liberals are split, which has led to heated debates on an almost weekly basis.

Ever since President Obama made the call to reengage the United States in Iraq and Syria to fight ISIS, foreign policy has once again become a major issue around the political water cooler. While Obama has stated there would be no American "boots on the ground," he has authorized airstrikes in both Iraq and Syria, and along with congressional approval, has allocated $500 million in tax payer money to arm and train rebels in Syria. The United States has long held the position that they have been fighting, not a war on Islam, but rather a war on terrorism. This topic was discussed on the October 31 edition of "Real Time with Bill Maher" on HBO.

Host Bill Maher welcomed a panel which included Rula Jebreal, a Muslim journalist and Islamic apologist. The conversation was started when Maher brought up a recent segment on his show that made headlines, which included a fierce debate against actor Ben Affleck, who called Maher's criticisms against Islam "racist." Maher is scheduled to give the commencement speech at the University of Berkeley in California, and has had push back from students and others who agree with Alleck's assessment. After Maher defended his position, Jebreal criticized Maher, stating that "this is not a war on terror, this is a war on Islam.", before noting that "my father was Muslim, he was Sufi. You don’t even know the difference between Sufi, Sunni, Shi’a, Mahdavi.” Looking disgusted, Maher simply responded with "yes I do."
“You don’t!” Jebreal shouted, before telling Maher, "for you, we are all jihadists.” "I know that in many places in the world, if you left your religion, what would happen?” Maher asked Jebel, to which she didn't have answer. “You can walk inside a door in Gaza and say, ‘You know what? I’m a Presbyterian today?’” Maher questioned. Jebreal, looking defensive, said, "maybe not in Gaza, to be honest," before she blamed Maher for generalizing all Muslims and blaming the majority for what she says is really the minority.

Could care less if he embarrasses an Islam apologist or not: he is still America's #1 asshole, and somebody seriously needs to punch the motherfucker in the face. Hard.

Why? He is entitled to his views as much as any other.

I don't know anybody who talks like the steady stream of leftist useful idiots I see on discussion groups, and most of the folks I know are liberal. Most of my liberal friends think Maher is spot-on.

To listen to some of these useful idiots here, though, you would swear they work for child protective services in Rotherham.

Sure....but is violence really the answer if you disagree with someone's social and political commentary?

Because he is an arrogant, narcissistic asshole, that's why.
