Bill Maher on Islam

I will admit, Bill Maher does get Islam. He seems to know there are things about the "religion of the perpetually insulted" that are problematic, and in his own inimitable style explains it all for us. It is ironic that on the one hand we have a sodomized Gaddafi and in the other a gay performer in an Islamic country creating controversy. It is the never-ending drama that is Islam.

Maher: Gadhafi sodomy video suggests homosexuality has become sexuality in Islamic culture

HBO host Bill Maher has been no friend of religion over the years. But unlike many of the secular left in America, his attacks haven’t been just on Christianity, but he’s been critical of Islam as well.

And on the Friday night broadcast of his “Real Time” program, Maher drew another conclusion about the Muslim culture, using a video that has been circulating of former Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi ultimate demise.

“Alright, let me ask you this because I alluded to it during the monologue and I’m not going to show the footage,” he said. “We could but we’re talking about the fact that as soon as they caught Gadhafi they stuck something up his ass.”

Based on that and how that particular culture strictly interprets Shariah law in the treatment of women, Maher concluded that homosexuality has become sexuality.

“Now Groucho Marx said sometimes a cigar is just a cigar,” Maher continued. “And sometimes a stick up your ass is just a stick up your ass. But don’t these people have issues? I mean, when the first thing you do is stick something up the guy’s ass, I feel like it says something about you as a culture... the men in that culture. When you segregate the women and you cover them up and homosexuality becomes sexuality.”
