Shady Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 He thinks that if he worked for NPR, he'd be fired. I agree with him. He probably would have been. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PI1S3DweZ_Q&feature=player_embedded Also agree with his concern. It's at the very least, a disconcerting situation in Europe/England.

I'm sure Maher would be alarmed if Jesus was the top baby name too. He is opposed to organized religion. And of course, the problem with the Muslims is that way too many of them continue to try to live up to the nastier tenets of their old book.

Jesus is a very popular name in Central and South America. It's also a fairly popular name in the Southwestern United States. Nobody really cares.

scribblet Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 Good thing it's wasn't a conservative saying that, they would've been crucified by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extremely religious Muslims are dangerous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BubberMiley Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 Good thing it's wasn't a conservative saying that, they would've been crucified by now. Sorry to pooh-pooh your victimhood complex, which you enjoy so much. But conservatives say worse things every day, and not one has ever been "crucified." Either you've never watched FoxNews or you're just plain dishonest. Now, if he were a liberal who worked for NPR, he would be fired. That much is true. But Bill Maher can tell you all about being fired because of oversensitivity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Bandelot Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 (edited) Also agree with his concern. It's at the very least, a disconcerting situation in Europe/England. Even if it is disconcerting to some, not sure what anyone can do about it. Write laws against naming your kid Mohammed? Or laws preventing muslims from having more babies? How about making more "white" babies instead? Start a baby-making war... What do you propose can be done about it?

Wow, more creative thinking 101 LOL Both sides say things, but so far I don't see anyone complaining about Bill Maher but as you know, if it were a conservative, everyone would be all abuzz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When was there a buzz before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BubberMiley Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 (edited) Uh, isn't this the same message that got Mark Steyn a trip before the human rights tribunal? He was never before a human rights tribunal. The Islamic Congress made a complaint, but the complaint was dismissed. And considering conservatives make derogatory comments about muslims every day, I would say Maher is actually drawing more heat than a conservative would. You're only aware of it because he's a liberal. Once again, the conservative victim isn't really one at all. But it must feel nice and self-righteous to be seen as one.

That's true. It was Ezra Levant that was summoned before a human rights tribunal. For doing a story on the rioting/Denmark cartoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloodyminded Posted November 6, 2010 Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 Uh, isn't this the same message that got Mark Steyn a trip before the human rights tribunal? -k I believe it was primarily his remark about "culling" the Muslim population which aroused the most controversy. However, he should be permitted freely to bloviate, in my view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
