Ben Affleck launched into an angry debate over religion on TV show "Real Time with Bill Maher" on Friday.
The "Argo" star appeared on a panel discussing current affairs and became incensed when the host Bill Maher and author Sam Harris began talking about radical Islamists because he felt they were stereotyping all Muslims. He interrupted their conversation, asking Harris where he got his facts from, and then told them their talk was "gross" and "racist" before launching into a tirade.
Affleck said, "How about the more than a billion people who are not fanatical, who don't punish women, who just want to go to school, have some sandwiches, pray five times a day and don't do any of the things that 'all Muslims do?' You're stereotyping. You're taking a few bad things and you're painting the whole religion with that same brush." Affleck, who was visibly angered by the discussion, added,"We've killed more Muslims than they've killed us...

Ben Affleck needs to go to Syria and talk to these poor people
Right, Ben ...” How about the more than a billion people who are not fanatical...”
Where ARE these people?
They sure are a quiet group
Ben Affleck makes his living pretending to be other people. It is not surprising that he is plagued with politically correct delusions. People who are influenced by celebrities are not only vapid but dangerous.
There was a survey done of these so called “moderates”,
and though they aren’t DOING the “radical” stuff,
they certainly didn’t disapprove of it.
Who knew Ben was afflected with such a pro-Islamic view.
The alligators will eat him last, no doubt.
I loved B-flack on “Gone Girl” — he was great — but it’s such a turn-off when he goes on these political, social and religious rants....
Since when do opinions from the Hollywood cesspool matter.... they’re called “actors” for a reason, and for sale to the highest bidder if it gets their face in front of camera....and the older they get the more they covet that camera.
Ben Affleck - walking the knife’s edge of career-icide.
'Racist'? Really!!??
Someone ought to let Ben in on the secret... Islam is NOT a race.
So, it's REALLLLLLY stupid calling people who challenge them, ‘racist’... But I forgot... that is the favorite Liberal ‘go-to’ insult when they find themselves outwitted .... which is frequently the case!
Typical low-information Liberal. Screams accusations about "painting with a broad brush" and then... paints with a broad brush using some completely unsubstantiated personal opinion.
Must be his Batman cowl is on too tight.
Just saw his new movie “Gore Girl”, would highly recommend it. Rosamund Pike steals the movie.
Instead of talking about the problem he wants to discuss peoples thoughts. I watched the video and it was a complete waist of time.
I think you meant "Gone Girl".
Gore Girl will be a movie about global warming chicks.
Muslims win if you include killing Muslims
Now if this was about Christians, how much would you bet they would all just agree that they all are extremists?
To Clarify the above ....
Muslims kill more Muslims than anyone else
Right on!
