Click for Source Article by Juan Cole on Maher’s Hate Speech

Bravo to Ben Affleck and Nicholas Kristoff = Correcting Maher’s chronic Muslim-hating

Maher and Sam Harris = Demonize Islam and therefore Muslims

Ben Affleck reversed their demonizing saying they want to eat and get through life.

Maher and Harris = Made cultural practices objectionable + said Muslims are unusually violent = Ridiculous charges

FACT = Islamic law clearly forbids terrorism

Maher and Harris = Neither one ever lived in a Muslim-majority society or knows the cultures = Anything they say of Muslims can be said of others — describing the human condition — far right wing white supremacist groups exist in USA + Chinese view 9ll as an anti-imperialist act — nationalism/ imperialism — Not religion/atheism.

Maher and Muslims — Maher puts himself in the company of “9ll liberals” who believe that Islam as a religion is different and decidedly worse than all other religions. + LIES hat 50% of Muslims say it is OK to murder anyone who insults the Prophet + Blames 9lll on mainstream Muslims when it was a Wahhabi political cult who spend their free time in strip clubs and Protects a Monarchical Dictator with overwhelming violence and murder.

Maher attacks all religions and promotes hate towards them, but he explicitly singles Islam as much more homocidal than other religions.

Maher = Personally unpleasant to Muslim guests, such as Keith Ellison.

Maher = Reacted to the youth of the Arab Spring gathering to overthrow their USA-backed dictator – “the Arabs are revolting” — Try substituting “Jews” to see how objectionable that is.

Maher joined an ISLAMOPHOBIC network funded by the Mellon Scaife Foundation and tied to the American Enterprise Institute = Made up of evangelical Christians, bigoted American Jews supporting Likud Party, and cynical GOP businessmen/politicians = Something to frighten working class Americans into FAKED WARS.

FACT: Maher = Donated $1 million to Obama

Maher = In Common with Islamophobic Right = Supports Bloodthirsty militant Zionism

Maher = Strongly supported Israeli MURDER of helpless little Lebanon in 2006 = Million cluster bombs on farms and homes.

Maher = Talks about NUKING Palestinians of Gaza = Interviews and fawns over Likudnik Israeli officials but combats other right wing guests.

Maher = Reacts to Muslims with his palpable hatred for them rooted not in religion but in national self-conception. = Key tactic of militant Zionism to demonize and delegitimize Muslims = Excuse for colonizing and imposing Apartheid on Palestinians

Maher = Palestinians “aren’t really human beings”

Maher = Sees the west as USA + EU + ISRAEL VERSUS Islamic fanatics ‘savages’

Maher = Knows the history of Judeo-Christian bloodthirstiness — Discounted past – Only Millions killed in last 50 years = Imperialism + Inquisition + Crusades

Maher = Unimportant, but his bigotry is widely put forward = Impacting real people

Maher = Anti-mosques = ‘fear’ Muslims are in a homicidal conspiracy

Maher = Singles out Muslims as a different and treats with discrimination

Maher = Tries to label Muslims as ‘murderers’

Maher = Uses on Muslims a centerpiece of classical Western hatred of Jews as blood libel — Allegation they stole babies of Christians and sacrificed them in secret rituals.

Maher = Argues some 3 million American Muslims are walking around like a grenade with the pin pulled out. = Same kind of Blood libel secret religious practices

Maher = Just despises Muslims – Blind Hate is so AWFUL!

Maher = Uses Crowd politics of Hate and YES a strong form of RACISM!

Maher = Lies in his accusations about American Muslims

FACT = IRAN is the least invasive nation in Modern history.

FACT = Vast majority of Muslims reject militant groups + 80% want a two-state solution on Israel and Palestine

FACT = Riots can be provoked and happen in every culture — Race-relations set off riots across America — St Louis and many others — In India Christians are killed by rioting Hindus for doing missionary work — because it is an insult to their god(s).

Maher’s Straw man = Muslims “would” kill people for insulting Muhammad. # such killings Where? When? = Singles out one theoretical motive for violence with no evidence.

FACT: Muslims are no more violent than Jews, (facts show far less violent) and have a similar semite heritage.

FACT: Muslims are sensitive to assaults on their Prophet in part because of centuries of Western colonialism and neo-colonialism that denounced their religion as barbaric = Defending the Prophet = Defending their post-colonial NATION = National Identity is common to Americans and Israelis

FACT: In Myanmar, angry Buddhists have attacked Muslim minorities — like lynchings in the Jim Crow South.

FACT: USA Murders Millions in faked Wars to profit the FEW ay the EXPENSE of the Many.

FACT: Israelis MURDERED 2,100+ Palestinians in five weeks = “MOWING THE LAWN”

FACT: Sri Lanka Buddhist attacks on Tamil Christians — A nasty violent police state

FACT: Militant Israeli Jews set fires at Muslim Mosques in Palestine + Israelis tried to “Lynch” 3 Palestinians in Jerusalem

Maher = Thinks only Muslims are thin-skinned, he should try publicly criticizing Israeli policy in America and see what happens to him. = NOW THAT IS VIOLENT!

USA = MURDERED HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF IRAQI MUSLIMS based on Faked WMDs – Proven 10 years ago to NOT EXIST and even BUSH admitted the TRUTH!

Maher = Tut-tutting over riots in the Arab world = LIVES IN A HOUSE OF LIES

FACT: In most of the world, crowd actions are common over all kinds of issues – Even Wall Street Crimes. — Race, class, sports teams – certainly isn’t confined to Muslims

Maher = Uses his position as a comedic gadfly to promote HATRED of one-sixth of humankind, and that is wrong, any way you look at it.
