That depends on who you consider “us” Bill. I sure don’t consider myself one of your kind.

Islam is nothing compared to leftism.

I’m reminded how Jimmy Page got away with bedding a minor and got away with it. He was too big to fail.

Same deal essentially with these performers. They are guests, all eyes are on them, and of course they won’t get arrested. They help soften the Public Image of the govt.

There are Useful Idiots.

But you can bet your bottom dollar that any regular Joe doing Burr’s stand up at at a local venue will be treated less kindly. And it won’t make the MSM.

I mostly agree with you. However, After the Ottoman Empire lost in WWI, Attaturk did much to secularize Turkey.

It was only after the Muslims became wealthy because of oil that we have our current problems with jihad.

Well, that and the coddeling of Islam by our “Intellectuals”.

I’ll be honest with you guys, I cannot f@#*%&#g believe any of you have any idea who I am.

I can remember a time when people didn't openly cuss like this let alone reprint the words in an article.

What? We have “amputation and flogging Fridays” in our town squares across our country for thieves and other criminals? We enslave Filipinos and lower muslims like Pakis? A special “holy” city where muslims are not allowed or the punishment could be death? Is that how they are “just like us”, Bill? You’re just an infidel whore to the Saudis, a curiosity like a dancing monkey. When they are no longer curious, they’ll want to cut your throat.

A huge, sometimes fatal, mistake most people make is to believe that everyone thinks like them and that deep down we’re all the same.

We are not.

How many of the punch lines involve killing the Jews?

So true.

Islamics and Leftists are too scared to tell jokes about Muhammed.

Islam has been around 1400, and could never conquer the West, or Christianity. (Pushed back in 1571.)

Leftism has been around for 150 years, and they have already destroyed the West and Christianity. Islam is not 1% of the threat that leftism is. And most of the damage they do these days is because of the left.

> Burr painted a portrait of a region where people were, well, “just like us” <

Bill Burr has made a career of pretending to be edgy. And to be honest, he is a funny guy.

But how about some ‘Mohammed marrying a child’ jokes, Bill? Let’s see just how edgy you really are.

Should I assume he didn’t torch Riyadh like he did Philly in his infamous rant?

Burr used to be funny a while back, but since he came out as a full blown democrat wokester, his schtick has been very flat and not funny at all.
