BILL MAHER: Comparing Islam to Christianity regarding violence is liberal bull.....

Judaism isn't much better than Islam. It also doesn't have anything like the New Testament. Yes there are branches of so called Christians that aren't living by what Jesus taught. But there are very few of them and most aren't going out and murdering innocent people.

 

I'm sorry sir, but your totally wrong. The Koran is full of killing as is the Old Testament. That is why it is so easy for them to get other Muslims to join terror groups.

 

Brilliant performance by Maher. He pisses me off sometimes, but on this subject he is as sharp as a razor. Even his progressive audience was supporting Maher, not his progressive opponent.

 

I've said before, and will say again, occasionally Bill is spot on.

 

The Old Testament wasn't an open-ended prescription to wage war against unbelievers like the Qur'an is. The violence was limited to specific tribes and specific events. There is also the issue of Jesus establishing a "new covenant" with mankind that replaced the law of Moses and the old ways. I'm not a Christian, but you need to understand the difference in order to have a valid argument on this subject.

He's probably my favorite liberal.

 

I'd never considered such a thing. Perhaps it's high time, though the list is incredibly short.

 

It's not just that, I mean for Catholics, there was the 2nd Vatican, which did change how Catholics prayed in church and the like, but it was meant to placate the change in people not the religion. I was not referring to the Bible itself.

 

The difference is that we can't change what happened 500 years ago. We can, however, change what is happening now.

They both did. The religion and its doctrine changed because the people learned from the mistakes of the past. Islam is still deeply rooted in the prevailing philosophy of the 7th century .

 

To paraphrase a comment he said on Letterman a few years back: "You can't get 60 percent of the members of Congress to agree on lunch..."

No truer words.

 

you could not ban an entire religion then and you can't now, you can just go after the religious nuts from each religion when they are discovered

 

New respect for Bill Maher....on this one point anyway.

Bill was also right on the point he made about ALL Muslims as well. He asked the guy......for any Muslim, ask him/her if Allah and Mohammed is insulted if they don't believe that whatever happens to the person who did it......that they didn't have it coming to them. Great point and true.

He also gave the example of "The Book of Mormon" now on broadway in a play....and asked if there could be a "The Book of Islam?" The guy said, "probably not." He means 'probably not without a bunch of people getting killed for it.' These people do not believe in freedom of speech......that's why they'll never fit into our society or any western society that treasures freedom of speech.

 

Islamoapologists and progressives constantly tell us how small of a minority these extremists are, but are they really that small of a minority?

26% of younger Muslims in America believe suicide bombing is justified, according to Pew Research data. Are these really the immigrants we want to have in America?

 

No one, except a handful of nutters, wants to ban Islam or Muslims. We do want to go after the nutcases that will sow murder and mayhem in their twisted view of their religion.

 

Not as often as a broken clock, more like a broken calender.

 

It's worse than that. A PHD in the garbage fields, social sciences, English, history, &c, marks you as less well adapted to the common wisdom than a random man off the street. You've been pumped full of more worthless spunk than a ten dollar whore.

.

 

Grand false equivalence. The Salem Christians didn't have nukes.

Global islamic jihad is freeeeeekin GLOBAL. There is a significant percentage of muslim scumbags THAT WANT YOU DEAD. YES, YOU!

Tell me how we identify and quarantine/isolate/exterminate that 5-15%.

 

I'm not ignoring the past, I'm recognizing that the past does not affect me now, and what Islamic terrorists are NOW doing does.

Apparently very hard.

 

Screw bill maher. He's still the one who called the second amendment bull****.

Ahhhh I can't say what I want I'll get banned...

I hate forum rules.

 

Really? Then why have there been so many in the Islam faith killing in the name of their god?

 

exactly

 

This is just another instance where we see what these professors are saying and teaching their students. It just goes to show what I have said several times. Having a high IQ, or being well educated, doesn't mean you have plain common sense. I find that happens a lot. Even pointed it out in my own family, with a college educated brother in law, A niece who has a master's degree and a professor in English in Washington and my wife who was once a teacher.

 

The religions did not change, they are still what they were in the past. The people changed on how religion is viewed or implemented.

 

That's remarkably ignorant of history. I'm certain explaining it to you is of no value. You need to educate yourself.

 

Not quite. I'll put it in words you will understand: Religion evolved. All except the Muslim one, of course

 

How did the Ten Commandments evolve. Again the Bible is still the Bible, it is the people that changed.

Catholicism is still Catholicism.
