Bill Maher to 'Pretend' Muslim Rep. Keith Ellison: Koran Is a ‘Hate-Filled Holy Book’

The emotion shown by Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) at Rep. Peter King’s (R-NY) Muslim radicalization hearings garnered much attention, and we have a feeling Ellison’s appearance on Real Time with Bill Maher tonight will get its share of play as well. Maher and Ellison had an interesting conversation about Islam (Ellison converted in college) – but perhaps most interesting were the harsh words Maher had for the radical element of Islam…an opinion he had no problem sharing to Ellison’s face (or the screen it was on, anyway).

Maher went off on radical Islam, deeming “the threat, potentially, from radicalized Muslims…a unique and greater threat” – one, he said, that’s in its “medieval era.” In addition, he cited “trying to get nuclear weapons” and a “culture of suicide bombing.”

But that paled next to Maher’s criticism of the Qur’an, which he called a “hate-filled holy book…which is taken very literally” by radical Islamic terrorists.

NOTE- We still can't put Bill Maher under our 'smart celebrity' category because he is still an idiot. He might of got this one right about the Qur'an, but his 'right-wing' and 'KKK' comparisons are ridiculous. Has anyone even seen the KKK in the last 10 years? Militias aren't terrorists. Tim McVeigh was the ONE terrorist who was anti-government and just happened to be a Christian, as are most Americans. McVeigh didn't blow up a building for religious reasons.

Maher also fails to mention that all of recent acts of violence in America were committed by leftists.

*The Alabama shooter professor Amy Bishop, a 'far-left' extremist obsessed with Obama, shoots six people...

*The Holocaust museum shooter James Von Brunn was an anti-Semitic leftist...
(White supremacists are socialists and left-wingers, not conservatives or right-wingers)

*The Ft. Hood shooting was committed by Muslim soldier Major Hassan killed 13 people...

*The Little Rock Army recruiter shooting was committed by an American who converted to Islam...

*The plane attack on the IRS building was committed by Bush hater Joe Stack...

The list goes on and on and the liberals only response is 'Dr.Tiller' and 'Timothy McVeigh.' Give us a break...
