Is Bill Maher an Islamophobe?

Wow! This is incredible! Even Bill Maher gets it. I guess that makes him an Islamophobe. Wait until Joy Behar and Whoppi Goldberg find out.

From Weasel Zippers:

Bill Maher Stands by Comments About Being Worried Islam Taking Over the World: “I Don’t Need To Apologize For Being A Proud Westerner”…



"'(Mediaite)- 'Bill Maher showed up on CNN to talk about comments he made on Real Time regarding the ‘alarming’ number of ‘baby Mohammeds’ in England. Maher told Wolf Blitzer that he felt no need to “apologize for being a proud Westerner,” or for being worried that “Muslim people in these [Western] societies are having babies” at a faster clip than non-Muslims.

He clarified:


And when I say Westerner, I mean someone who believes in the values that Western people believe in that a lot of the Muslim world does not. Like separation of church and state. Like equality of the sexes. Like respect for minorities, free elections, free speech, freedom to gather. These things are not just different from cultures that don’t have them. … It’s better. … I would like to keep those values here.


Maher feared that “we can project ahead” to the possibility of England “losing those values.” While he and Blitzer didn’t discuss the Sharia law issue that arose Friday night, they did discuss another topic that had come up during the same conversation: whether Maher would’ve been fired from NPR, as Juan Williams had been, if he worked there. “Probably,” Maher said. Here, the two seemed to agree.
'


Here’s what he originally said:


(Mediaite)- Those who accuse the once libertarian Bill Maher of becoming too much of a liberal apologist might want to clean their ears. Maher made a Juan Williams-esque confession on his program when he apprehensively noted that Mohammed has just become the most popular baby name in Britain. “Am I a racist to feel alarmed by that?” Maher asked his panel. “Because I am. And it’s not because of the race, it’s because of the religion. I don’t have to apologize, do I, for not wanting the Western world to be taken over by Islam in 300 years?”


300 years? I think their intentions are for a lot sooner than that.

I can't stand that leftwing atheist thumbsucker, but, even a fool like Maher knows a threat when he sees one.

Unlike some leftwing fools like diogenASS that think radical Islamists are just harmless peaceful western loving muslims extending the olive branch of fellowship, forbearance, reverence and tolerance.
