For anyone who’s still not clear that Bill Maher has some particular issues with Islam, he went off again tonight, spurred on by Rome covering up nude statues when the President of Iran showed up.
Maher said no Western nation should be catering to a more “backwards” culture and even brought up the migrant assaults in Cologne, Germany.
He said liberals need to stop pushing for a world “they way they want it to be” than it really is and mocked the folk singer who thinks he can win over ISIS with song.
Maher brought up how people always say the problem with Islam is that people are ignorant of it, but he countered, “The more you know, the more you would be afraid.”
Maher said that liberals need to stand with the actual reformers and not be enablers who keep dismissing criticism by throwing out the word “Islamophobe.”
