HBO’s ‘Real Time’ host Bill Maher asked female Saudi Arabian filmmaker Haifaa al Mansour about the obstacles she encountered as a female filmmaker on Friday and spoke out against the nation’s governing religion of Islam.

Maher noted that some nations in the Middle East are becoming more conservative in regards to Islam after the Arab Spring, which, in his view, isn’t necessarily a good thing.

“The problem is, the Arab Spring kind of turned into the Arab Winter,” Maher said. “[A]nd Saudi Arabia, I mean, is the most conservative of all. As people criticize me for what I say about the Muslims. I love all people. And it’s funny because the people that come up to me privately say, ‘I’m with you about the Muslims.’ It’s the American Muslims. It’s the liberals here who don’t quite get it. We’re not criticizing people. We’re criticizing a belief system that turns people into something we wish they wouldn’t be.”

It’s bill maher that is clueless- liberals ‘get it’ they get it so much infact that it’s now a central part of their agenda to kill Christianity andm orality i nthis coutnry- Radical Islam is the holy grail to these folks- they get it bill- it’s you who has your head up your butt

I think Obama should be really bold and show his support for Islam and LBGT by replacing: http://riyadh.usembassy.gov/about-us/ambassador.html with a homosexual ambassador. That would show confidence and commitment to the policies Obama pushes and supports!

I meant it’s to late for Bill. He has been unmasked.

Some are just contrarians, who don’t like anything that’s popular, just because it’s popular.

It’s the liberals here who don’t quite get it.

If only Maher would stop compartmentalizing and realize that liberals not only don't get it about mohammedan beliefs but they don't get it about their beliefs in big government and socialism

Broken clock syndrome.

Bill Maher hates everybody, including himself, and can find no reason to exempt muslims from his ire.

I think it's cute that he doesn't consider himself a "liberal." He thinks he's a big government libertarian, which is like being a tall midget or a good looking Kennedy woman.

He said that the 9-11 terrorists who slit the throats of unarmed stewardesses were “not cowards”.

Bill Maher still doesn’t get it.

Maher is like a lot of libs... he loves humanity, but he hates people.

That’s show biz.

Thanks Rufus2007.

He's right on about the above... Lots of American Muslims came here to get away from the extreme stuff...
