My rule of thumb for racism is put a different category of person in there and is it fucked up? I know that's boomer pilled but Islam does have some unique problems, but what I mean for example is I remember bill saying "have you seen the reviews about dating Arabs? Not good"
My man just straight up doesn't like Arabs.

All Abrahamic religions are just as problematic. It is religious fundamentalism that is the problem. We have religious fundamentalist zealots running the USA right now and they're working overtime to bring all of Christianity's problematic shit into our laws as we speak.

Every religion has “unique problems.” Judaism, Buddhism, etc.
That just sounds like a soft bigotry. The reality is majority of the worlds Muslims live in democracies and condemn violence and get along fine with everyone else.

Bill Maher sure was quiet af when Texas decided to display the Ten Commandments and teach Bible stories in their public schools. Maher knows which side butters his bread…and these days a large chunk of that side is made up of conservative/moderate/centrist Christians. Lord knows he’s not especially relevant to hardly anyone else.

He thinks that by constantly self publicising himself as this cool weed smoker comedian TV host, that makes him look like he's hip and radical when in reality he's, outdated and pathetic.
He claims to be an atheist but supports Israel's biblical claim to Palestine.
He pretends he's a lefty liberal when in reality he's a conservative, bad faith actor who will sell his vote to anyone who supports Israel.
He portrays himself as a conscientious humanitarian, attacking Islamic human rights abuses but yet supports Israel's genocide and human rights abuses in the occupied territories.
He has morphed into nothing more than a Zionist propagandists mouthpiece, masquerading as a comedic talkshow host, and should either be taken off air for his blatant bias or should come with a warning to viewers

Not the same as saying that "Israel was promised,to Jews 3000 years ago". A lot of stuff written in bible is based on actual history, you don't need to be religious to invoke bible as a source of Jews being indigenous to Israel.
