He'll get the liberal artsy pass because he is an Atheist.

...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.
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.

He’s just desperately trying to remain relevant.
Maher is part of the whole ‘excuse me if I’m Jewish, self-deprecating, hunkered shouldered brigade’. Disgusting. I hate to see a Jew APOLOGIZING for being ‘Jewish’. Seinfeld’s humor is based on it.
Why not be proud????
“Isn’t something like this supposed to get him fired?”
This is great - the left is going to go nuts over this. I hope he goes to “The View” so we can watch Joyless go hysterical. Maybe she won’t come back this time.
Isn’t he an atheist?
Not to worry Bill once they take over they cut off your head so you will be dead. Doesnt he know the White house is full of Radical islamic supporters he should get with the program and submit Obama would want it that way Bill
He'll get the liberal artsy pass because he is an Atheist.
NOW they'll cancel him...
Hey give Maher some credit. He can read a poll as well as the next finger-in-the-wind hack.
Guess it would be too much to say, “Proud American.”
Who the hell self identifies as a “westerner” anyway?
Oh well, he opposes Sharia law - I guess its a start.
Perhaps he’s starting to grow up. Then again next week he’ll probably pop off with something so completely outrageous it will negate his brief moment of sanity.
"Like Mark Steyn says, worse comes to worse, “we” can decide that if we can’t beat ‘em, we can join ‘em: grow out our beards, take an extra wife, etc"You're aware they marry 9 year olds, right?
Wonder if CAIR has been heard from yet? They lodged complaints concerning Juan Williams remarks. But Maher is right on this one and I wonder if any of his fellow libs will openly agree with him and support him.
I’m convinced that if a speeding diesel locomotive whizzed by Bill Maher, it would take him an hour or so to realize that a speeding train just whizzed by him. Maybe even longer...
overly surprised that he had one lucid moment in his life
He probably had some better than average weed before he said that ... about the only way I know of to get him close to lucid.
(but he is right in his statement ... for a change)
Maher is an idiot, but there is no reason why we should not rejoice when he actually speaks the truth once in awhile.
Is this the poke that finally broke the PC bubble; the hole in the dyke has been breached, and Islam is no longer being white-washed? I can only hope. I wonder if Maher will have a fatwa put out on him now?
Stay tuned. This just might get interesting now.
Wish he would invite Mark Steyn on the show.
