Bill Maher Goes Off, Asks Dem Rep. Why Obama Won’t Say “Islamic Extremism.” By Josh Feldman. Mediaite, October 30, 2015.
Bill Maher’s nasty new Islamophobia recruit: “Real Time” turns ugly on “barbaric” Muslim beliefs. By Sarah Burris. Salon, October 31, 2015.
Burris:
Gabbard says it is “crazy” and simplifies aid as giving someone a house and a skateboard which won't fix violence.
Bill
Maher hates religion, but he really hates Islam. On Friday evening’s “Real Time,”
the host spoke to Democratic Representative Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii about their
shared quest against Muslims.
Gabbard
told Maher she believes it is “crazy” that Secretary of State John Kerry says
that extremism comes from poverty — and that President Obama won’t say “Islamic
extremism” instead using the words “violent extremism.” She thinks it’s
important to “identify our enemy so that we can defeat them.” Secretary Kerry’s
comments are particularly absurd to her because she thinks that giving someone
a house to live in and a skateboard isn’t going to solve the problems of
violence abroad.
Maher
went on to attack liberals for what he says is a refusal to discuss the
“barbaric” beliefs by some Islamic people in the west and Gabbard agreed. She
thinks liberal philosophy “gets in the way” of being able to address it.
Apparently, when Gabbard went to Iraq she was tasked to train the Kuwaiti army
on counterterrorism, women weren’t even allowed on the base.
Gabbard
went on to say “words mean things” which is presumably why the liberals she is
attacking refuse to paint an entire group of people as the same.
