When guest Professor Brian Levin tried to allege that religious extremism isn’t only a product of Islam, the longtime critic of Islamist extremism pounced:
“You know what, yeah, yeah,” Maher said. “You know what — that’s liberal bullsh*t right there … they’re not as dangerous. I mean there’s only one faith, for example, that kills you or wants to kill you if you draw a bad cartoon of the prophet. There’s only one faith that kills you or wants to kill you if you renounce the faith. An ex-Muslim is a very dangerous thing. Talk to Salman Rushdie after the show about Christian versus Islam. So you know, I’m just saying let’s keep it real.”
The host also felt compelled to pre-empt a reflexive criticism that is a part of the political correctness that conditions nearly all public conversations.
“I am not an Islamophobe,” Maher said. “I am a truth lover. All religions are not alike. As many people have pointed out — ‘The Book of Mormon,’ did you see the show? … OK, can you imagine if they did ‘The Book of Islam?’ Could they do that? There’s only one religion that threatens violence and carries it out for things like that. Could they do “The Book of Islam” on Broadway?”
Professor Levin replied ‘possibly so,’ implying that such a show was foreseeable in the United States and Maher duly refuted it.
“You’re wrong about that and you’re wrong about your facts,” Maher said. “Now, obviously, most Muslim people are not terrorists. But ask most Muslim people in the world, if you insult the prophet, do you have what’s coming to you? It’s more than just a fringe element.”
