Maher: I Don’t Think Rushdie’s Attacker Was Amish — ‘Islam Is Still a Much More Fundamentalist Religion’ than Others
Breitbart ^ | August 13, 2022 | Ian Hanchett

Posted on 08/13/2022 7:36:51 AM PDT by Morgana

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher commented on the attack on author Salman Rushdie and said that he doesn’t think the suspected attacker is Amish and “Islam is still a much more fundamentalist religion than any of the other religions in the world, and that means they take what’s in the holy book seriously and that has been dangerous for a long time. It’s still dangerous.”

Maher stated, “We don’t know the motivation yet, but Sal did have some enemies in the past, as I recall. So, I’m guessing [suspect Hadi Matar] is not Amish. Sal…was giving a lecture — how about this for irony — about how the U.S. is a safe haven for exiled writers and other artists under threat of persecution. And making that speech itself is unthinkable in most Muslim countries. Salman Rushdie living in most Muslim countries without getting stabbed every day is unthinkable. So, don’t come at me with Islamophobic. ‘Phobic’ means fear, right? Well, Sal had a good reason to be fearful, and when you say ‘phobic,’ it’s just a way to shut off debate, transphobic, Islamophobic. And we should have a debate about this. Sorry, but these things don’t go away. Islam is still a much more fundamentalist religion than any of the other religions in the world, and that means they take what’s in the holy book seriously and that has been dangerous for a long time. It’s still dangerous.”

Muhammadanism has since its inception been spread by its adherents at the point of a sword. If one didn’t know better, one might suspect it was purpose-made to foment violence and extremism.

Maybe if the Gestapo over at the FBI weren’t worried about what was going on in Mara Lago they could’ve been watching out for this asshole. Another one that slipped through because they were watching the shiny object in Florida.

Maher is full of scheisse when he ascribes the issue with Islam as "fundamentalism". Such horse crap. At its core, Islam was founded on violence, and seeks "converts" through violence. Convert or I will kill you.

There are Christians, and Jews, and Hindus, and Buddhists who believe in the fundamentals of their faith. Not a problem. It is only a problem with regard to Islam, a belief system that is inherently ugly, and violent, and vindictive. The problem with Islam is Islam itself.

Remember when an FBI agent followed that fellah in Garland a few years back?

Except it's not. Islam is much more than a mere "religion"; it is an all encompassing theocracy, which is much more dangerous. Thankfully, the few Muslims I'm acquainted with are apostate and more interested in capitalism. Yet, that will all change in a few decades.

A lot understood what he said. That use of the term has been around for years.

muzzoidism is a satanic death cult.

Anyone who uses the phrase “holy quran” is outing themselves as a believer & follower of satan (aka “allah”)

It’s not rocket science.

who is the great prophet of old Judaism that they had to follow and revere as the perfect human example? Without the prophet there is no Islam.
