Bill Maher Challenges Charlie Rose: “Islam is not like other religions. It is a unique threat.”
Bill Maher: I think liberals should stop booing me for pointing out that Islam is not like other religions, that it is a unique threat.
Charlie Rose: But it's not Islam you're against.
Bill Maher: Howard Dean said, “The people in ISIS... I'm about as Islamic as they are,” distancing the vast numbers of Muslims around the world from it. That's just not true.
Charlie Rose: It is true.
Bill Maher: It is not true, Charlie. There is a connecting tissue between
Charlie Rose: You mean behind every Muslim is a future member of some radical
Bill Maher: Let me finish.
There are illiberal beliefs held by vast numbers of Muslims that I don't think have
Charlie Rose: Vast numbers of Christians, too.
Bill Maher: No, that's not true.
Vast numbers of Christians don't believe that if you leave Christianity, you should be killed. They don't treat women as second-class citizens, and they don't believe drawing Jesus should get you killed.
Does ISIS kill people indiscriminately who aren't like them? Yes.
Would most Muslims do that or condone it? No.
But most Muslims in the world do condone violence just for what you think.
Charlie Rose: How do you know that?
Bill Maher: First of all, they say it. There's a Pew poll of Egypt where 82% said stoning was the appropriate punishment for adultery, and over 80% thought death was appropriate for leaving Islam.
So to claim this religion is like other religions is naive and wrong.
Saudi Arabia has also beheaded people for nonviolent crimes, including homosexuality.
Charlie Rose: They even cut the hands off a thief.
Bill Maher: Right. We're upset when ISIS beheads people, as we should be, but Saudi Arabia does it too, and they're our friends because they have oil.
This is the centre of the religion. In Mecca, non-Muslims aren't even allowed into the holy part of the city.
If people were being beheaded in Vatican City, don't you think there'd be a bigger outcry?
This is the soft bigotry of low expectations. When Muslim people do or believe things we consider extreme, it's somehow not discussed nearly as much.
Charlie Rose: I don't believe what we see with ISIS represents Islam. I don't think the Quran teaches them to do this.
Bill Maher: Well, you're wrong about that. The Quran absolutely has horrible things about how infidels should be treated.
And can we really say women are treated equally in the Muslim world?
Their testimony in court is often counted as half. They may need permission to leave the house, and women are forced to wear burqas.
And I hear liberals say, “Well, they want to.”
They've been brainwashed.

As Special Envoy for American Landowners, here is my latest report on the egregious situation happening to @Gfennchurch at the hands of @alabamapower Does this sound like America to you?
It's now confirmed by the family. Harman's wife, Khushi Kapoor, posted this morning: "Without @JohnCleese's help, my family might have been killed... He sent 8 security guards to defend Singhs Dining"
After seeing the awful attack on a Sikh family's restaurant, I really fear there's a problem in this country!
The peaceful Sikh people and community are being targeted by raging hate mobs of Islamists.
And who came to their rescue? Not the police.
It was national treasure John Cleese 👏
According to Harman's wife Khushi, John sent EIGHT security guards to protect the restaurant, but more importantly, to protect the Sikh family from harm from a scary hate mob of Pro Palestine nutters.
In her words: "Without John Cleese's help, my family might have been killed."
We MUST stand with the Sikh people 🇬🇧🤝
Imagine having 53 Republican votes, a House that sent you the SAVE America Act again and again, a President practically begging you to move it, and when Bret Baier asks why it never happened your answer is "we accomplished a lot."
John Thune actually said that… and then he followed it with "this is the way the founders designed the Senate." No, John. The filibuster is not in the Constitution, it is a Senate rule that men like you hide behind when you do not want to own a vote. The founders designed a Senate that votes. You built one that waits.
Here is the reality. Voter ID and proof of citizenship are not radical ideas, they are the bare minimum, and most Americans in every party already agree with that. The President put it plainly, the Republican Senate "can no longer be the place where things are sent to die," and he said not passing the SAVE America Act, sent up five times by the House, was devastating to the party in the midterms. Five times. How many times does the House have to do its job before the Senate does theirs?
And yet here we are with about 50 days left before the gavels change hands on January 3rd, and the man in charge is on TV defending the rulebook instead of using it. Make no mistake, the incoming Democrats are not going to be this polite about the filibuster. They will kill it the first time it stands between them and something they want, and then we will get a sad speech about norms from the same people who never had the stomach to use the power you handed them.
I have spent years in this election fight and I will say it again… voter ID alone does not fix what is broken inside the machines and the rolls. But it is the floor, and these people could not even get the floor poured when they held every card. That was a choice, made by people who are comfortable in the minority because the minority never has to deliver anything.
So who exactly is Thune working for? Not the people who gave him that majority, and not the President who asked him to finish the job.
John, you still have the votes until January. Bring the SAVE America Act to the floor, carve the filibuster out for it, and make every senator go on record. Or step aside for someone who will.
Pray, Stand, Speak, ACT.
🚨BREAKING: An English woman has been arrested after confronting a group of Muslim migrant men who were playing Quran prayers over a loudspeaker in public.
She walked up to them and said: "England is a Christian country. I don't want to hear anything about the Quran. Shut it up."
Instead of being heard, she was the one arrested by British police.
Let that sink in. She spoke up for her own country, in her own town, and she ended up in handcuffs.
Is this what Britain has become — where you can blast prayers in public, but you get arrested for saying you don't want to hear it?
I’m in tears. Hero DJ Daniel just underwent another Brain Surgery. Keep praying for this hero 🙏
If you are praying for DJ, reply with “AMEN”
He is such an inspiration
Il s'appelle Jakub Kulik, il a 24 ans, c'est le héros de Cracovie, mais des Polonais veulent le voir en prison.
Kulik a reçu 3 balles de la part d'un terroriste qui a abattu 6 personnes au hasard dans la rue.
Quand une balle a traversé le poumon du policier Kulik, il a pensé que sa dernière heure était arrivée. Mais il ne voulait pas mourir sans avoir neutralisé la menace et protégé le public.
Aujourd'hui, Kulik se remet de ses blessures et le terroriste est mort. Un Polonais vivant à Londres a déposé une zawiadomienie auprès du procureur de Cracovie. En d'autres termes, il porte plainte contre Kulik. Il lui reproche l'usage excessif de la force et, en particulier, d'avoir continué a tirer, alors que le terroriste était au sol.
C'est très britannique comme attitude. Par exemple, le Royaume-Uni envoie ses forces spéciales dans des missions derrière les lignes ennemies, puis paye des cabinets d'avocats pour porter plainte contre eux au nom de leurs ennemis. Des soldats qui reviennent du front se retrouvent avec des convocations devant la police et sont traités comme des criminels : est-ce vous avez offert aux terroristes la possibilité de discuter ? Est-ce que vous avez décliné votre identité avant de tirer ? Avez-vous fait des tirs de sommation ? Avez-vous tenté des moyens non létaux pour neutraliser l'ennemi ?
Le résultat est que les militaires sont ruinés en frais de justice pendant que les terroristes d'hier sont logés dans les meilleures adresses de Londres aux frais du contribuable.
La Pologne découvre avec révulsion cette mentalité.
La plainte vient de personnes proches de l'association Hejt Stop (Stowarzyszenie Hejt Stop) qui lutte contre les discriminations faites aux personnes transgenres. Elle exige que le procureur enquête sur les circonstances de l'échange de coups de feu avant de vérifier que chaque balle tirée par la police entre dans le cadre des règles d'engagement et de la loi sur la légitime défense.
A suivre !
Never forget the Bataclan Islamic carnage in France.
Today marks exactly 11 years since the attack, and French authorities and the media hid the worst.
130 people slaughtered. 683 maimed.
Forensic reports and victims’ accounts reveal something much more sinister:
• Men were castrated, and their testicles were forced down their throats while they were still alive.
• Victims were beheaded and dismembered. Bodies were piled on top of one another.
• Attackers gouged out victims’ eyes with their fingers.
• A pregnant woman had her unborn baby torn from her womb and left abandoned on the floor.
• Women were raped even after they had been killed.
These were not quick kills or just another suicide bombing attack, as the media tried to portray it. The victims were tortured and suffered unimaginable pain.
Zero knives were found at the scene. The attackers used their BARE hands to do all of this.
All of this was hidden from the public for years to “protect harmony.”
And now, one of the surviving masterminds behind the attack has a pending case and could walk free in the future for “good behavior.”
