Bill Maher, always true to form, has come out and spoken the truth on Islam-again. Appearing on Jimmy Kimmel on Wednesday, Maher discussed the terror attacks on Charlie Hebdo and pointed out that Muslim extremists were behind the slaughter of 12 people at the Paris publication.
Maher went a step further and stated something that no liberals ever want to acknowledge: Millions of so-called “moderate” Muslims support attacks such as the one carried out on the satirical magazine. Maher stated “Hundreds of millions of them support an attack like this, they applaud an attack like this. What they say is, ‘We don’t approve of violence, but you know what? When you make fun of the Prophet, all bets are off.”
That is the truth that many liberals refuse to acknowledge, let alone talk about in public. Liberals are too scared of being perceived as “racist” and of being accused of having the fabricated condition of “Islamophobia,” which actually does not exist in the way people who use the word think that it does.
Justified criticism of a backward, violent and destructive religion is not the same thing as a “phobia.” That being said, if a person is frightened of Islam, they have every right to be, because the Koran, the holy book of Islam, dictates that all non-believers be killed, and that is pretty scary stuff.
Feeling fear at the very real possibility of being executed for a lack of belief in Allah is not related to “discrimination” against anyone, and it is entirely unrelated to race. Any religious book with such grim instructions should be regarded with fear, but that should not ever turn into active discrimination against any individual.
A person can criticize a book and still regard all non-violent human beings as worthy of respect. Respect, though, does not equal blind acceptance of all beliefs and behaviors. Respect does not dictate that a person cannot be asked to change. Someone can respect a person at a base level and, at the same time, ask them to renounce a deeply flawed religion that is creating mass havoc around the world.
In addition to the Koran being an incredibly bloody and sadistic book, it also justifies the denigration of women, instructs men to marry little girls, and states that all homosexuals must be executed. It allows for the immediate murder of anyone who leaves the religion, as well.
People who consider themselves “moderate” Muslims often claim that extremists have “misinterpreted” the Koran. However, with literally dozens of passages urging the slaughter of non-believers, there is no room for misinterpretation. The Koran dictates the behavior of the terrorists at Charlie Hebdo earlier this week, and therefore, anyone who supports the Koran must be considered at least somewhat complicit in the killings.
Bill Maher is one of the only liberals who has the guts to come out and say what many know to be true in their hearts. They are just too afraid of what their friends will think to face the facts about the Koran and about Islam.
There is no justification for supporting the Koran. In addition to it being a mythological tome full of made up nonsense about a God who does not exist, it is being used as a tool of vast destruction. One cannot support human rights and support the Koran at the same time.
Kudos to Bill Maher for speaking the truth again. He is certainly a brave soul among a nation of cowards, or as he terms it, “p******.”
