    Good to know. Would you watch him? Sounds like things on his show will come out about like you'd expect:

    Sorry but saying bad things about Muslims and Islam is not racism.

    Nothing Maher says about Islam or Muslims is racist. He simply points out the fact that 90% of Muslims do not condemn terrorism even if they don't take part in themselves. Most Muslims in Saudi Arabia for example agree with the jihadist view on women. Condemning this is not racism

    Since I'm sure nobody who agrees with you will read what he actually said in the interview, I'll quote it directly without comment;

    Can I just say that I've disliked both of them for a while now.

    WTF? Islam is a religion, not a race.

    Would someone mind explaining to the idiot that Islam is a religion not a race?

    What Hasan isn't saying, and needs to be said for full context and understanding, is that Maher is anti-religion, broadly, and not just anti-Islam. He simply acknowledges the fact that most acts of terrorism are committed by muslims. Is that not a fact?
