fillmore and his panel on Friday discussed
the book over on kidnapping a women and they had a great debate about terrorism
and Islam by I've heard people say that this is able which we would all agree
answer Obama's table was we had not extinguish mankind's darkest dimples
impulses I'm there's no mention hereof connectedness
to the religion which is always what I am seeking to do because I think that's
the elephant in the room
and that in the religion at large women are seen
as property second class at best
often as property shouldn't that be brought to light
in this debate as well do you think it is being I mean
ago night when I read about this qualifying group and they're saying i
lock my missing god is great
wet snatch the thirteen-year-old and sell her killer it is so it's beyond
comprehension now
evil this is the one I see describe I see described as
a radical sectarian or Islamic terrorist group I don't see any kind of confusion
about that
and certainly I think the binder billy's making that is not just radical
sectarian group that's right by that is not just an hour yeah I'm here to tell
you ban after getting a translation bank yeah this is a few bad apples arguably I
don't think it's a few bad apples
argument I think you have to have a clearer I and what's happening in the
world around you and
Islam as one of the great major religions is providing a
disproportionate share
%uh radical not bags killing people right now that's just
I think the happening right now in the question is what do you do then
and how do you avoid making the wrong conclusion from that which would be you
know let's
had surveillance drag nets for every Muslim walks in the Mac United States
americorps let's not
differentiate what's happening in a poor messed up country like Nigeria
and what's happening in turkey or indonesia I think it's important to be
clear about that and also
the sophistication about the differentiation between muslims
would you say a JIP what would you say that some modern Islamic my god they
just killed seven hundred people like in the day I know alas no Amanda Lee Myers
I don't think Islam has a monopoly on darkness
and not bags and crazy rhetoric and violence
I know they do no they do not good perspective is important okay
its it's not a monopoly but its
it's the Titanic getting the iceberg compared to Whitney Houston so what I in
her bathtub
the let's look at at let's look at how long we've had people running around
making excuses to her
other people and islam is a part of that tradition but so has Christianity been
but that he has been a very bad strategy based on the 14th century
I would be coming down on the Christians because that's when they were to buy a
new witness allegations antibody 88 but you're not the point is that
religions and cultures change in the 14th century was the Christians but this
important and and and I the only thing I don't have any more than he does things
you're making a guy is that it sometimes is a broad indictment and religion in
general
but if you look today you do see that while the vast majority of Muslims and I
know means terrace
it does seem that the vast majority of terrorists incidence
do involve some aspect that the Muslim world you'll see a whole lotta buddhist
suicide bombers
consul waves and the koreans they fell out alright so first of all let's
address what dinesh d'souza said at the end there
that well look you don't see buddhist suicide bombers
me yes funny except if you look over in Burma
there are many many many many many many many many attacks
up of buddhists against moslems there's a
Muslim minority population in Burma and the food is due
atrocious %uh violence against them on a regular basis in fact it so bad
has been covered by some international news organizations within the past few
years
and it is discussed in that surprise tone
BS obviously the overwhelming majority of Buddhists are kind and loving and
it's more of a life philosophy than religion in many respects n
they do kinda embrace peace a lot more than other religions do
but there is that that element specifically in Burma where they're
attacking Muslims and there's wanton violence between the two groups in the
muslims are the are the minority so they're really victimized over there
so it's nonsense is a while there's no buddhist violence of course there is
and then also to his point that well look we're not saying all Muslims are
terrorists but if your tears you're likely be a Muslim
thats definitely not true as all get to us to in a second
but to Bill Maher's point when every time I hear Bill Maher talk about this
issue
he's always fifty percent right and 50 percent wrong
and at the same token like ariana huffington and the other people on the
panel who are arguing the more progressive position
they're also fifty percent right and 50 percent wrong
now is a true when mark talks about how often times liberals will back off of
criticizing Islam because they don't want to criticize what's considered a
minority group
and group that has been victimized I think that that's definitely true like
for example
we did a story how muslims are trying to censor a perfume ad because it shows a
symbol that similar to a Muslim symbol
yeah of course liberal should speak out against that just as strong as they
would speak out against some sort of
Catholic censorship and they don't do that and that's a problem
and I think that stems from something that is also legitimate so it's
illegitimate to not criticize whenever
Islam crosses the line goes too far but it does stem from something that's a
legitimate
concern which is oftentimes moslems are too broadly
attacked where people on specific enough in their attack to me
demonize the entire community is opposed to the people who are actually doing
whatever the thing is that a problem and a purple example that is on Fox News you
had bob beckel coming out saying we should ban all Muslim
a immigrants into the country to go to our schools
because have something that because the boss and bombing and what happened with
to Muslims from fuck it better fuckin chechen ce
ban all Muslims because these to chechen guys are assholes
and has that mentality the mentality that if you're a Muslim in you do
something bad
it's part of this massive conspiracy in this in this connection to international
terrorism is this big plot
but if you're are a white Christian n you do something bad
well we give you the benefit of the doubt and we don't even talk about it
like on Fox News look at how the cover there's an attack by a Muslim
the coverage for a week straight go crazy but there's a mass shooting by a
disturbed white kid sometimes you don't cover it at all
they make it they'll cover some issue need to they happen so often they get
one mention on the move on
bought a second if you're getting so worked up about all these things in
n in some cases the number of people to die in the mass shootings from
disturbed middle-aged button a I'm sorry middle-class
but white kids who are in their teens if more people are dying from that why are
you not focusing on that
how many people die more from mass shootings in the country will 32,000
people die from gun violence in the US
every single year okay now that includes suicides and everything but still you
getting
a scope love the idea of the problem a gun violence probably like ten thousand
those are murders
and but they don't cover that at all to suggest
oh my god there's a problem we need to fix it paper sweet on the rug in there
are some good price for freedom
but when there's an attack by a Muslim its ok I got banned all moslems in this
is a fuckin problem let's invade cat-expand tomorrow
so there's this this it the liberals look at where they go let's look at
stupid
theirs is this discrepancy in how we copper these different things in
if you want to be consistent and you wanna be objective about how you cover
violence
that you have to keep do it by sheer numbers you know who is killing people
and n which group is a bigger problem based on the raw numbers
so they're both 50 percent right fifty percent wrong Mar is right that
sometimes liberals over defend moslems when they are wrong he's right about
that
but he's wrong because he also does paint with too broad a brush she does
like when he says it's not just a few bad apples
so what are you trying to say a majority of Muslims in the world
are in poco her arm that's one of the dumbest thing I've ever heard my life
a majority of Muslim sympathize with al Qaeda
to the dumbest thing I've ever heard my life now look understand something
is the percentage probably higher than the percentage of Christians they would
you know agree with the KKK for example of course in fact
there was a poll recently I think it was pew from a few years ago
nine percent of the International Muslim community sympathized with Osama bin
Laden
and sympathize with al Qaeda and jihad
yet that bad that's a problem at nine percent
is a lot especially when you're dealing with such a tremendous number of Muslims
in the world
but thats that does still mean keep things in perspective that does still
mean the ninety-one percent are law-abiding fine
happy citizens that are you know they're not breaking any laws and they're not
doing anything wrong and again is it true that maybe only one percent
up Christians might agree with the KKK I've never seen a poll on that topic
but it might be true that as a percentage up more
moslems agree with the extremists in their group but it still is true that
it is a few bad apples no matter how you do the math it is a few bad apples
and just to give you some more examples here there are sovereign there were
to sovereign citizen terrorist attacks recently the sovereign citizens are
right-wing terrorist group
they plan to a duck cops shoot 'em torture them
we cover to within the past few months maybe past year so
media gave it no coverage it was a terrorist attack
no coverage whatsoever are or how bout well the white supremacist to shop
people at a jewish
Center recently that a terrorist it was covered as a mass shooting
but it's a terrorist again this is the bias that we have in america buys that
we have in the Western world
your white guy you do issuing year long not but the guy was in alone not
he was he was a terrorist he was shooting for political ends he thought
jus run everything man oh my god this is bad I'm a white supremacist wasps are
awesome
so many go kill people I think are jewish you ended up not even being
jewish
that a terrorist attack on your bill maher: mention that okay or how bout
arm the KKK of course is the classic example love
right-wing Christian terrorist group how about the abortion clinic bombers which
happens all the time we covered a story recently about an abortion clinic bomber
who escaped and it again but you're not talking about that like its terrorism
again because you view terrorism is specifically islamic even though
plenty a white people to apply near right-wingers to a plan you Christians
do it
in fact 56 percent the terrorist attacks in the US
from the the nineteen nineties and on fifty-six percent of them were
right-wing terrorist attacks
so it's a problem in its a big problem and
look less thing here we also need to make a distinction between international
moslems
okay which again it might be a higher percentage people they're sympathetic to
extremist views
and American Muslims American Muslims are just as Americanized
as everybody else in america okay that's not me saying that that's the poll
saying that so for example
there's a poll done I believe by gallup where they ask the question
is it ever okay to kill civilians are is
is it ever okay to do harm to you or kill civilians
what group had the highest percentage of people that said it's never OK to hurt
civilians
American Muslims and other words even my group
the non-religious people the atheists we were number two i believe
but it was the American Muslims who had the highest percentage people it said
violence against
a civilians is never okay and in the worst
were I think catholics and up and what's protestants
so it's so funny that you know he and that's the point man
look Bill Maher's right did all religion is stupid all religion is wrong there's
a problem with the dogma
when you just buy into this ridiculous belief system without any evidence
on with a hundred percent on that and I go after all religions all the time
okay but the problem with what he's saying is that
he really is seen only what he wants to see its confirmation bias
so he's doing is he saying know it has to be that you know not all Muslims are
tears but if its terrorism has to be a Muslim
now that's not the case is a lot and a lot more right-wing terrorism in the US
there's plenty a Christian terrorism as I just covered right here for you
and it's time to admit and acknowledge
that yes we're all gonna disagree with and go after Boca Rahman Al Sabah been
al Qaeda and talk about other stupid and wrong and Dom
and nobody disagrees with you bill we all agree and I agree with you this
connected to the religion
but also don't pretend like you're doing that for whatever reason
Christians are these angels that are much more evolved
maybe as a percentage there a tiny tiny bit more evolved
but not that much they're pretty fuckin bad to you
