The host of HBO’s ‘Real Time with Bill Maher’ said of the tragic terrorist attacks in Paris: “bombing [ISIS] over there is what is causing the Paris thing to happen!”
On Friday evening, the City of Lights turned pitch black. Terrorists—in the form of masked suicide bombers and gunmen—massacred at least 160 people in a series of coordinated attacks across Paris.
An estimated 100 people were killed inside Le Bataclan, a concert hall in the 11th arrondissement, after a trio of terrorists armed with AK-47’s detonated explosive vests during a show by the American rock band Eagles of Death Metal. The suicide bombing followed a hostage standoff between the attackers and French police stationed outside the venue, with the madmen executing hostages one by one inside.
One eyewitness inside the Bataclan told the New York Times that one of the gunmen blamed the French president, yelling in French, “This is because of all the harm done by Hollande to Muslims all over the world.”
Friday night’s edition of HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher, which is filmed live, saw the political satirist address the people of Paris during his opening monologue.
“Before we get to the hilarity, we hope, I just want to see one thing to the people of Paris,” Maher said, before launching into an abbreviated version of French national anthem “La Marseillaise.”
“Now I’m not a very good singer,” added Maher, “but that’s my way of saying: We’re with you.”
Then, Maher welcomed journalist and author Asra Q. Nomani—a Daily Beast contributor, who is Muslim—for a sit-down interview prior to his panel. And Maher, as is his wont, laid into radical Islam.
“How could [liberals] not stand up against Sharia Law, which is the law in so many Muslim countries, which is the law of oppression?” Maher said.
“I am absolutely sure that ISIS thinks that everything they do—every horrific crime, every atrocity—is an act of justice, and an act for god,” he continued, later adding, “First of all, I’m not ‘demonizing,’ I’m characterizing. How did we get to this place where just describing something is demonizing, and I’m not so sure it’s a very small percentage. Maybe it’s a small percentage who carry out terrorist acts, but it’s not a small percentage who believe in some of the illiberal ideas that support terrorists.”
During the panel portion of the broadcast, Maher got into the Paris massacre.
“When the Charlie Hebdo thing happened and the week after everyone said ‘Je Suis Charlie,’ not really. They didn’t really stick with them like Asra and I were just talking about,” said Maher. “I’m going to ask you this question that people asked after 9/11, because I don’t think we still know the answer: Why do they hate us?”
The panel then fell silent—before panelist Dylan Ratigan brought up the U.S. funding Saudi Arabia as one reason that Islamic terrorists are upset with America.
“That’s not what terrorists say,” said Maher. When you capture one, or when they leave a note, you know what they say? Because you’re in Muslim lands. I have a crazy idea: Why don’t we get out of Muslim lands?”
Maher then shifted the discussion to ISIS, with the host contending that you “can’t completely wipe out all your enemies.” Later on, in what is sure to be the most controversial line of the night, Maher suggested that bombing ISIS in the Middle East is what caused the Paris attacks to happen.
As if Maher gives a crap.
Bill Maher is normally pretty tough on Muslims.
Given the option of hating Muslims and hating America, his choice is clear.
Years ago Bill Maher beat up his black girlfriend.
That’s like saying bombing Berlin caused The Holocaust.
This yellow-bellied coward, Maher, is part of the problem.
This is what the Spanish left said after their train stations were attacked, and it worked. The Spanish conservative Gov’t was thrown out ... they never get it ...
Billie boy would rather sit on his hands due to fear than confront the Muslim enemy terrorists. What a wimp.
Leftists are by default cowards. Maher is simply more evidence to the fact.
And the Menendez brothers only did what they did because their parents didn’t give them enough and the shark fishing trip they had just returned from wasn’t nearly as fun as their parents had said it would be.
Let the Menendez brother go free! It was their parents’ own fault they were killed!
“That’s not what terrorists say,†said Maher. When you capture one, or when they leave a note, you know what they say? Because you’re in Muslim lands. I have a crazy idea: Why don’t we get out of Muslim lands?â€
We’ll get out of their lands if they’ll get out of ours...

“Asymmetric Warfare
“The 9/11 terrorist attacks and the war in Afghanistan are among the best-known recent examples of asymmetric warfare: conflicts between nations or groups that have disparate military capabilities and strategies. RAND investigates political and military responses to - and the impacts of - counterinsurgency, terrorism, and other forms of irregular warfare.”
We were cleaning the savages’ clocks in asymmetrical warfare in Iraq and Afghanistan, a country where the Russians bailed.
The critical difference between civilized countries and Islamic tribes is we do not intentionally target noncombatants, as they just did in Paris and have done in so many other places.
After the Moscow theater massacre and Beslan elementary school hostages outrage, however, the Russians are exterminating armed muslims like vermin, along with their mosques, their support network and anything they touch.
It took Obama over one hundred days to decide to drop the hammer on bin Ladin, counting from the date that we knew his precise location.
Obama claims to be have been fighting terror for seven years, but the Russians have been `cleaning house’ in Syria over just a few weeks.
There is a reason Obama and Putin do not agree on Syria. The Russians are serious about fighting terror while Obama is not. Our armed forces deserve a lot better than Barack Hussein Obama.
So in other words he is blaming Obama without saying his name.
This guy is random noise.
Yeah, and we invaded Afghanistan and Iraq, and then the Mozzies went and flew the planes into the Twin Towers....oh wait.
So according the Bill Maher we had better not do anything to ISIS or they will attack us. What a bunch of BS.
OK, so drop a nuke or ten on them to kill all of them, as opposed to some of them. Wow, that was easy.
Sick of these pathetic losers.
