Bill Maher Destroyed Again And Again By Reza Aslan
Рет қаралды 5,321,106
9 жыл бұрын"Religious scholar Reza Aslan took some serious issue on CNN Monday night with Bill Maher‘s commentary about Islamic violence and oppression. Maher ended his show last Friday by going after liberals for being silent about the violence and oppression that goes on in Muslim nations. Aslan said on CNN that Maher’s arguments are just very unsophisticated.
He said these “facile arguments” might sound good, but not all Muslim nations are the same. Aslan explained that female mutilation is an African problem, not a Muslim one, and there are Muslim-majority nations where women are treated better and there are even female leaders."* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down.

Gavan Cohen 1: The old Testament says almost word for word the same thing. 2: "Idoloters" was not meant to include Christians, Jews or Zoroastrrins. 3: There were rules of fair combat established, such as no killing of women, children or civilians. None of which excuses the killing of people based on religion. Killing people just because of their religion is never justified. But, a lot of things led up to Mohamed's war with the polytheists of Saudi Arabia. It should be read in context. And, of course, Jews and Christian did the same thing.

Yet you have no problem with muslim government taxing non-muslims extra for refusing to convert to islam, but wanting to stay ALIVE - comparing it to possible jail time? And the Islamic penalties for refusing to pay jizya, are far more harsh than any secular governments would be....they'll seize your property, your wife, your kids....your life....... Show me what tax code is as equally despicable as Q9:29? Please answer

Amar Sahbi You're trying to equivocate, so let me help you: Islamic Govt: Taxes all, plus it taxes non-muslims extra to remain alive and in the house of islam Secular Govt: Taxes all - based on income/wealth, irrelevant of faith Islamic penalty for refusal to pay jizya, or leave the land: death, enslavement, ...exile if you're lucky Secular penalty for refusal to pay taxes or leave the land: possible jail time, fine, probation, maybe deportation The question isn't why there is punishment for not paying taxes, quit trying to redefine it - The question is why islam singles out non-muslims to pay extra tax, simply for not being muslim, and wanting to stay alive?

Why is Aslan getting so much hate? He's straight up correct. It's an Arab culture problem, not a Muslim religion problem. I'm neither Arab nor Muslim and I understand this. Blaming Islam for how horrible Iran et al are is like blaming Christianity for how horrible Nazi Germany was, or blaming atheist for how evil North Korea is. Religion doesn't make governments evil, it's simply a convenient way to sway people to your perspective by slowly feeding them lies through the medium of something they hold dear. Christians do no make governments evil. Muslims do not make governments evil. Atheists do not make governments evil. Greed and misinformation make governments evil.

Really? Can they vote to choose to not wear a Hijab if they want to in Iran? Can they choose to walk unaccompanied by a male as well? Can they choose to leave Islam without any repercussions? You need not answer. We both know women are the property of their husbands and even if they are allowed to vote, it is a vote only as to who is the next oppressive theocrat to run their lives, never a vote for true emancipation or freedom and that's all there is to it. In fact, a woman in Islam does not even have the right to divorce her husband unless he approves it first (talaq). So what is this lie you are trying to pass on us here about America? America in 200 years has advanced more than Islam in 1200.

dstacey331 As an atheist who has made KZfaq videos about the mistaken thoughts of theists, I feel compelled to agree... but it's not entirely accurate. Belief in a god without evidence is certainly foolish if you value truth, but I imagine that theists like Reza value several things more than truth. He has publicly admitted that he doesn't agree with many of the thoughts and tenants of his fellow Muslims, but the errancy of his scripture still hasn't caused him to dismiss his faith because it's not all about whether his holy book is mistaken or even whether his god really exists.

dstacey331 Yeah, _we_ believe that truth ought to be most valued, which is why we're atheists. But there's nothing objectively more valuable about truth than things that aid survival such as social reputation or advancing one's career. Is John Green of the Vlogbrothers irrational? How about Francis Collins of the Human Genome project? It's true that irrationality and theism have a close relationship, but I don't believe that you have to be irrational to believe in a god.

Give a good reason why anyone should pour their efforts into religious books based on tripe, and you may start to have a point here. Is it not the case that the vast majority of the wrong done around the globe is in part due to religious enabling; that someone got it in their head that God was on their side, or told them to do something revolting? Islam, Judaism, Christian, Catholic, who gives a damn? They're all man made, and all equal glimpses of the same untruth.

And two because religion/Islam has an important role to play when talking about Middle Eastern politics. Therefore a more civilised, nuanced understanding of Islam gives you a better understanding of the region. I get it. It's all a load of rubbish so why bother study a bunch of fairy tales?

simoneleone Religious people know their texts, atheists don't and make no serious attempt to like Pro Jektor proved. The Atheist understanding of religion is superficial, ignorant, unsophisticated, and largely based on conjecture. This is because the atheist deliberately takes the most cynical perspective on religion to justify their disbelief in God. So I can't take their views seriously when religion and politics are intertwined to come pursue any kind of objective truth.

Yes, some people, anecdotally, cite under-reporting in India. Sorry, that does not explain the 1200% to 1500% difference between rape rate in India and the the countries above. Actually, India as a society is so sensitive when dealing with such incidents that it is the only major country that discusses rape as headline news on prime-time television. It makes those who don't look at data feel like India is some kind of haven for rapists. The truth is much the opposite.
@Little_Lizard 9 жыл бұрын
Anand C Are you fucking kidding me?! The only reason the statistics are in your favour is because Indians do not report rape! This is because of the stigma surrounding it, as in India it is perfectly acceptable to blame the victim, if not kill them. If you honestly believe the U.S. has more crime than that third world shit hole than you're living in a fantasy world.
@anandc8999 9 жыл бұрын
Jack Daniel Huh, I have heard the under-reporting argument before. Sorry, it does not explain the rape rate in the US being more than 1400% higher than that of India's. Do you have any cold hard numbers based on cold hard research that can explain the gargantuan difference between the rape rates? If not, you are just one of the countless people from the western world who have fallen prey to media frenzy and anecdotal hearsay about India. Next time, you could do well to check facts and numbers. I say again that India is the only major country which, as a society, is so outraged by rape incidents that they discuss these incidents as headline news on prime-time television. The western media picks it up and a narrative is built that India is a haven for rapists. This explains your grossly fallacious perception too even though the opposite is true i.e. India is the only major society that treats this issue so sensitively and that the rape rate itself is dramatically lower (about 1200% to 1400% and more) than that in major nations of the western world.

And our constitution is based on 6 government-sanctioned religion i.e Islam, Protestantism, Roman Catholicism, Hinduism, Confucianism and Buddism and the law of the land (except Aceh) is secular and does not favor one religion over the other. Even though the LGBT communities are not celebrated, they are not banned either and there are even parks in central Jakarta where transgender communities freely mingle.

Where's the conversation between Aslen and Maher in this video? Not to say that Aslan is wrong but it seems like you show'd clips of Aslan making his arguments without Maher there to defend his side, and on top of that you yourself commentated on them without letting Maher defend himself. It's generally better to bring up your arguments in a debate where the other side can respond, not wait until the debate is over and make snark comments and showing discussions about the discussion.

Sure some muslim countries aren't as bad as others but why are so many muslims in so many countries capable of such bad things? BECAUSE THE RELIGION GIVES THEM THE JUSTIFICATION.

You think that is because Christianity is peaceful? Meanwhile if 1.5 muslims were violent you'd be dead already because they don't kid around as ISIS demonstrated quite well.

***** Well, I beg to differ. Numerous learned people who know the Quran say it definitely CAN be used in very negative ways. The problem is that too many muslims and muslim countries allow the fundamentalists to run the show. So called "moderates" have done little or nothing to stop this. They've allowed it to intermingle if not dominate their politics. As I've said to others, western nations took control of the Christian fundamentalists long ago. We've made their violent "by the book" religious laws socially unacceptable and illegal. They still have too much say in my opinion but at least we don't let them burn people for being witches and other nonsense.

whois wat By religion, Buddhist and Jain women reported the lowest prevalence of sexual violence in their lifetime (3 and 4 percent), while 5% of Sikh women, 6% of Christian women and 8% of Hindu women reported experiencing sexual violence. The highest prevalence rate (11%) of lifetime sexual violence was reported by Muslim women. A 2014 study in The Lancet states, "Whereas an 8·5% prevalence of sexual violence in the country [India] is among the lowest in the world, it is estimated to affect 27·5 million women in India [given India's large population]". en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_in_India en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_in_India#cite_note-nfhs2-72 Citation number 72 has the PDF source for that 11% statistic. I'm not comparing this to other countries but it would seem that rape is a huge problem in India, particularly for Muslim women.

The state of women in India these days is that they're a 100% equal to men. I can confirm this because I live in India and don't get my facts from CNN or Fox News. Rape on the other hand in India is exactly similar to how rape is a problem in the United States, South Africa or Sweden.

What annoys me about a lot of left leaning people is that they're quick to lump groups when it's convenient to their narrative but they then want to tell others not to judge groups by an individual when it's convenient.

Qas Wara In the Muslim countries where it is practiced, FGM is often justified by a controversial saying attributed to Mohammed that seem to favor sunna circumcision involving "minor" cutting of the clitoris. The authenticity of these sayings are unconfirmed, and some scholars have refuted them. Even if true, they only permit the practice; they do not mandate it. Of course, I would consider the non-consensual removal of anything without absolute medical need from anyone "harmful." In July, 1997 the Egyptian government overturned a ban on the practice of FGM. This event was celebrated by some Muslim figures, particularly Sheikh Youssef al-Badri, an outspoken proponent of the circumcision of Muslim women. Later the ban was reinstated, an act celebrated now by feminists and under assault by a few Muslim activists, again, led by Sheikh al-Badri.
@MrQaswara 9 жыл бұрын
***** Of coarse it matters when it started. It simply is not part of Islam at all. You also failed to provide a citation. Oh and by your logic, we need to call it a christian practice because this practice is popular in central and south african countries where the majority are christians, while muslims are minorities in those nations. Also, Im sure there are some atheists who live in africa who also participate in this action, does this mean we should also call it an atheist practice?
@ChrissonatorOFL 9 жыл бұрын
Qas Wara Shame on those atheists that possibly do. As most atheists, including myself, abhor MGM/FGM as being an absolutely unnecessary practice, outside absolute medical need, where all non-medical alternatives have been explored. Most cultures that still do circumcisions, do it due to one of two reasons: religion or obsolete medical education.. An atheist supporting it would probably fall into the latter category.

His literally made Fox shit themselves, and now his just destroyed CNN! Lol! This guy is amazing.. Keep educating America 👍👍🙌

Maher's three main points, as I understood them, were: 1) Liberals who advocate equal rights for women and LGBT people at home are often too reluctant to condemn cultures that oppress those groups. 2) Criticism of Islam should be allowed, and should not be conflated with bigotry toward Muslims. 3) “Extremist” views are not held by a small minority of Muslims, but rather by a plurality of citizens in many, if not most, Muslim countries. Tell me why this doesn't make sense?

Religious beliefs should be no more protected than any other beliefs. What if I told you I believe in unicorns? Or Santa Claus? You would laugh at me, criticise me, but those would be my beliefs. Don't you see? Criticism and judgement of beliefs through reason, logic and evidence is the way forward, not keeping our mouths shut and letting ignorance run rife. Oh and by the way, religions criticise gay people for being gay all the time, so yes, I will criticise religion.

octavius simplicitous Basically the entire second and third paragraph was about the dumbest fucking thing you can do to an argument. Combine ad hominem, red herring (irrelevant points to shift focus from the argument), and strawman (misconceive the argument and rebut incorrectly because in a way that's more convenient for you) all in one. Don't do that. All you've done is _kind of_ loosened up the argument for one country, Bangladesh, _maybe,_ although not so much for Turkey, considering almost all the contemporary politics there only adds to vestige against your side of the argument, and nothing about the second half of my comment, although you talk as if my objective rebuttal is still wrong. But what the hell was the rest for? You have no idea what you're talking about, you're just ranting at some made-up image in your head you've developed for anyone that says "There's evidence this stuff isn't really a good idea". It's very simple --Stop ignoring the evidence that the farther you are from the fundamentals of really any of the three main monotheistic religions, the more civilized society on average you have, and don't be hypocritical by having your own blanket statements in your head to preconceive people as "hateful bigots".

Circumcision is genital mutilation too if you want to go there. Why we don't talk about that? Is that because it's a "Jewish" thing? I would also refrain from calling it "mutilation". It's actually a cultural practice. Yes we can criticise these practices without being so pejorative. Christians used to have practices we today see as abhorrent standards.

Of course not all places are like this, but it doesn’t change the fact that in many places Islam is used as a foundation for oppression and control. Yes there are secularists, but just because a person chooses not to fully practice all tenets of their faith does not change the fact that those tenets exist.

***** Yes. I considered that years ago when I was a teenager. Then, I became an adult. Of course you can practice science and also praise your god of choice, but it would be more consistent to apply the scientific method in all areas of life. The default position is to say "I don't know." Once you make that leap of faith and start believing in the supernatural, you lose your critical thinking credibility. It's no coincidence most people become part of the religion they were brought up in, and they can't all be right. That fact alone should be enough for people to realize how silly it is to divide ourselves by what god(s) we believe in or don't believe in, but culture is so intertwined in most religion that it complicates the enlightenment process.
