Because they don't want Arabs in Jerusalem – because what they say is the Bible says that when Jesus comes back for the Second Coming, Jerusalem has to be just the way he left it." Just for the record (not that the evidence matters, of course): I'm the son of a fundamentalist pastor and have been in conservative, bible-belt Protestant circles literally all my life, and Maher is the first and only person I've ever heard utter this.
He is simply unable to form a thought which corresponds with the external universe.
Bill Maher is antireligion, it doesn't seem confusing that he would use some agitprop to insult one religion to say that they insult another religion.
