Bill Maher wants to know if it’s okay that he is afraid of Muslim babies. Why won’t they get off his lawn, these Muslim babies? They are trying to take over his lawn (“England”) and his old-man garden gnomes (atheists) with their adorable baby Sharia. Oh, you want this man to back down from his hatred of people who believe in something? He shall not, because he is Bill Maher. Groan.
Apparently it is a Western value, you see, to stop people from naming their child “Mohammed.” And apparently it is impossible for babies named “Mohammed” to love liberalism just as much as they love their religion.
“I would like to keep those values here,” Maher says, apparently speaking via satellite in Britain. Okay! Let’s all give Bill Maher a license to kill any baby he sees with a religious name! He seems to know precisely what the future will look like! [Salon/YouTube]

Vote Today (Tuesday) you slackers!
T'aint Tuesday yet.
Taint Tuesday? I can't keep up with all these crazy ballpark promotions…
Taint Tuesday is nowhere near as awesome as Blowjob Thursdays.
*sigh* I wish every day was Thursday.
If Taint Tuesday isn't your thing, you don't wanna know what they celebrate on Arbor Day.
Or maybe you do; this is Wonkette.
It's always Taint Tuesday at Taint Mansion.
Taint Tuesday just means there is a little extra taint in the hotdogs at tonight's game.
First Cindy Sheehan and now this?
What did Cindy Sheehan say?
I'm can't be sure what troubledog was referring to, but I found this: http://www.ihatethemedia.com/cindy-sheehan-abando...
I'm guessing troubledog is bummed to know that folks we thought weren't complete ass-hats apparently are.
Just remember: if not for 9/11, Bill Maher — along with that other, illustrious, Libertarian-Paultard comedian, Drew Carey — would be one with the Aqua Buddha in Kentucky.
In fact, Drew Carey might still be.
Does this mean Obama will have to change his name? He could change it to Brock Ramjet!
I was thinking Rooster Cogburn.
Baroque Houston Alabama
Brock O'Bamagh
That's really not going to kill those gay rumours.
Remember those?
Cast my vote for Bolt Vanderhuge!
This is just a subset of Bill's hatred of all children.
Maher could be Julian Assange's older brother…
His occasionally funny and apparently filled with racial anxiety, older brother.
Britain has separation of church and state? News to the Queen.
Someone should tell the Archbishop of Canterbury, who is probably in the House of Lords right about now.
Of course he is. Yes we Canterbury!
& that's the thing I love about that favoured expression of the Right, "U.S. America is a nation of Indians*, but governed by Swedes**".
*Extraordinarily, religiously devout.
**Socialist, atheist swine.
Thing is, the statement is true. But not for the reason the Right wants to believe. Rather, we are a religiously plural state (like India) often ruled by individuals looking to install a single faith as state religion (like Sweden, where the King is the head of the Lutheran church).
Hahahahahah.
Let’s all give Bill Maher a license to kill any baby he sees with a religious name!
Well, there are plenty of kids named Jesus in Arizona, for starters…
If we're doing religious names don't limit yourself to the supposedly divine. There are plenty of religious names out there: Mary, John, James, Aaron, Ann, Sarah, Jacob, Peter, Paul…. ok, you get the idea.
Didn't Jan Brewer already kill all the little brown Jesus kids in Arizona?
GAWD! **faceplant*
We keep losing them. I love how the other guy (is it O'Donnell?) says "yeah, it's actually worse than what Juan Willaims said." I love that they didn't let him get away with it just because he's Bill Maher.
I was expecting that maybe this was some kind of mistake before I played the clip. Nope, just straight-up bigotry. Meh.
BTW, to any conservative that may be watching, or anyone for that matter, when you hear liberals defending Islam, they usually aren't. They are usually speaking out against Christians who somehow think that they are less crazy and offensive than their Muslim brethren.
Sorry, I'll think up something funny in a minute.

Well Said! Not always true but Well Said.
The whole defending the N.Y. mosque thing has been killing me for just that reason. I can't stand the hypocrisy and bigotry of it all, but to find myself defending any damn religion is some weird twisted shit.
I gave up on Bill Maher last year when he started going in for the anti-vaccine paranoia. The guy has his moments as a satirist, but as a human being, meh. It's especially annoying to see him parroting the old "teh browns are outbreeding us!" bullshit. I mean, jeezis, my Taliban-Catholic-Red-scared mom used to worry about that shit.
I hear the same thing every time I see my very proud to be white Catholic mother-in-law. Those Mexican Catholics do nothing but breed like jackrabbits for the sole purpose of taking away her church. She's a very devout christian sort of lady and of course it is her calling to defend her church from those browns.
And of course it used to be the Irish Catholics then the Italian Catholics who were doing all the out-breeding the WASPs.
The thing is, if it weren't for non-whites (from Central and South America, Africa, and Asia), pretty soon there would be no Catholic church left at all. The US and Europe aren't exactly teeming with young white men clamoring to become priests these days.
Reminds me of Dennis Miller – just a guy who used to be funny before being overtaken by teh crazy.
Don't worry Bill. In 200-300 years you can show a clip about some young Mohammed saying they dabbled in something mystical that basically will keep them from becoming a Senator.
Oh yeah, I guess he is not afraid of Wolves.
This was just a way to keep Galifianakis from upstaging him forever. To bad he couldn't do it with the funny but, in that respect at least, I can relate.
Ahem, "too," also, idiot.
You know, I really think this "fear of a baby [insert alien color or faith here] nation" crap is some kind of subconscious acceptance of guilt for certain parts of American [and/or Western European] history. I think unimaginative people think of international migration as being identical to what mostly Anglo-Americans visited upon the Indians. It is possible, people, to live in a place which changes, but remains much the same. Sometimes, we might even learn something from the other–and get some really great Mexican food at the same time.
It's people who imagine that culture is a zero sum game like tug of war over a lava pit who live in fear of this. Sad about Maher, though. I thought he had as much imagination as a kindergartener. Guess I was wrong.
I'm going to eat some ethnic food in my culturally mixed neighborhood now, and go to bed trying not to panic that these morons gain power tomorrow.
Damn, well no point in writing anything up tonight but definite thumbs up!
I don't think my husband's grandmother is in the Klan, but I pretty sure she runs the Ladies' Auxiliary (bakes sales, coats for coons charity drives and whatnot). I make sure whenever she nags me to send pictures of my son that I include ones of him playing with his black, biracial, and Mexican friends. Fuck her and fuck Bill Maher.
Bill Mahar is picking favourites among religions now? I thought he disliked us all equally.
But yes, England absolutely is the birthplace of the seperation of church and state, in the sense that for some time, occasional Catholics were seperated from their heads, by the state. No wonder Bill's afraid of UK theocracy.
Then there was the brief period when Prostestants were beheaded or, in the case of the Oxford Martyrs, burned alive. That sort of Catholic v. Protestant tit-for-tat is an excellent role model! All we need now is to make the President the titular head of a state church.
well stuff like that is why Europe was getting sick of religions; which is why I think it's sad that they have a new immigrant group of religious nuts.
Racist troll says what? Really, get the fuck GTFO.
BTW, the burning of Prostestants was supervised by the same Thomas Moore who is the namesake of the right wing legal center. That could be a clue of the future of Christian Law in this country. Far more intrenched then the Muslins.
In Maher's world view, Christians are just idiots. Muslims are dangerous idiots.
Yeah, maybe just a little out of context, because if I remember anything about that Religulous movie he made, Maher hates all religions more or less equally. And he really likes looking
like a provocative dickpolitically incorrect.The Islamic part of the equation is almost incidental to the Arabic/Persian/Middle Eastern cultures that don't respect the women, don't respect the free speech, don't love the rule of English Law Based on the Magna Carta, but its a cheap and facile shorthand to refer to these cultures we find inferior or backward as 'Islamic," because they also happen to be Islamic.
But just like the ridiculous and backward fundy Christian cults of America, you can count on many or most of their Islamic offspring to eventually grow up and say, "This is all bullshit." So I think it's a bit silly to worry out loud about them outbreeding "us." It's just Bill being
a provocative dickpolitically incorrect. It's not as obnoxious as Sara Palin's schtick, for example.oh bill, you should have stopped at 'i don't feel like i have to apologize…'.
of course you don't. why should you? you are a self-righteous, supremely contented member of the media elite with no idea how repellent your personality – and shirt collar — are.
at least you can string a sentence together. but don't kid yourself. you do as much damage to the left as sarah palin does to the right.
and both of you channel robber barons, jesuits and probably a Merovingian somewhere.
Okay I'm curious now…how does Bill Maher do as much damage to the left as Sarah Palin does to the right? That phrase seems really hyperbolic.
False equivalency. I am thinking fuflans is the Wonkette-commenting handle for some grunt at the Politico.
I just hope s/he gets to have van de Hei lick her/his taint, for all s/he has to put up with, doing this. Spying on the Wonkettes, also.
DRUNK hyperbole. i was getting an early start on the drinking i will likely be doing today.
I'm guessing the point is that Bill comes off as just as much of a screaming ninny as some of the hysterics on the right. Agree on the false equivalency with Palin, though. Bill generally manages to be articulate and speak coherently.
Self important goof. Can't stand ya. Anyways, lots of prophet names are popular: Abraham, Jacob, Zeke, Bo, Luke, etc.
Bo and Luke Duke were PROPHETS?? Cool!
poor Bill. Does he think the members of his own tribe have assimilated properly in America, all instances, or is it just a tiny minority, blah blah blah
srsly, we have had one native born American go on a jihiadi.
&
In all probability, in America, some of these baby Mohammeds are going to be atheists.
I believe that Baby Mohammeds is part of the Saturday morning lineup on Pakistan's top children's station.
Jihad Babies
We make our dreams come true~
Jihad Babies
Your virgins are sev'nty two~
Bill Maher is a dick.
Wow. Another day, another asshole. Ugh.
I liked Bill better in "House II: The Second Story." Honestly, it's like the George Carlin comic arc. Early on, very insightful, cutting edge, and humorous. But a few years later, veering dangerously into cranky old man territory.
Well, for awhile, we had Kurt Vonnegut.
All signs point to this dude at least having been blown by Ann Coulter. So his taste cannot be said to be exactly unimpeachable.
How desperate would you have to be to want those manly, foul-mouth lips wrapped around your cock? Think of the risks!
I'm afraid of stupid old people. Brown ones can be irritating, yellow ones can be incomprehensible but it's the white ones that terrify the shit out of me (to be honest). The Cyborg known as Dick Cheny for example….brrrr….
When your heart stops, most people have the grace to lay down and let us put some dirt on top of them. Then we say a few nice things about you while Satan and his spiny peened minions drill your bunghole like there is oil somewhere beneath your colon and that's the way it is for you for…well…forever actually….
but will that walking shit stick lay down and let us get to work with the shovels?
Hell no.
Currently, medicare advantage notwithstanding, it isn't economically feasible for every toothless, scooter crushing semi-retired school bus driver to become a soulless killing machine. A lethal melding of high technology and shriveled flesh (basted in copious amounts of Ben Gay). I live in terror of the day Cyborgification is covered under Medicare because you just know every one of them dumb ass, Tea Baggers is going to insist on being immortal. Not for themselves, you understand, but for the Constitution, the founding fathers, the Country.
Then we are all truly fucked.
Bleak, Distopian, fiiled with cursing, and referencing buttsecks. Bravo!
It's Wonkette!
Mohammed being a common name in England just points to a lack of originality in baby names, that's not a threat to Western civilization.
Last time I was home, I don't remember being subjected to Sharia law. I think, though, that in civil cases, if the two parties agree, they can use any legal framework to come to a decision… i.e. two Muslims can choose to use Sharia law if they have a legal disagreement.
That sounds something akin to how tribal courts operate for Native Americans here in the United States. The courts aren't really extra-judicial, they are closer to being sub-judicial.
Oh. Like The People's Court. Well, at least you're among your peers.
Uh no it's not, it's not even close to the same. Tribal courts exist because reservations have a really tricky legal designation and as such act semi autonomous from the USA. Muslims in the UK though have no such claim so if it's true that a country with a legal system that's pretty standardized to allow Muslims to practice shar' ria is akin to Christians being aloud to stone a gay person to death because our legal system via federalism is nearly standardized. So in my dislike of fanatics of all stripes I really hope the UK outlaws Sha'ria or they really do have a problem on their hands visa vie religious fanatics just like we do.
Sounds like they allow it for civil cases, with the point being that they are still ultimately subject to laws of the United Kingdom. I'm not speaking up in defense of an extra layor of law, but the idea that this could lead to death penalties is more than ridiculous.
So you would ban arbitration in the US? Or perhaps just Home Owners Associations.
The "Muslim courts" in the UK are private arbitration panels. The parties agree to binding arbitration. Each party could have elected to go to British Court instead. There is no parallel legal system. The layer is akin to what we allow in the US.
Oh no, here come the lame Sharia lawyer jokes.
Really. Is it newsworthy that Maher says something dumb? It'd be newsworthy if he were funny for more than the five minutes at the end of his show, which are written by somebody else anyway. Sort of like Ted Sorenson and JFK.
Atheism doesn't need any champions. Who's going around saying, "The Tooth Fairy is a myth"? It's just obvious.
Why doesn't atheism need any outspoken people?
It's great to have some outspoken people as atheists. It's just nicer if they're people that are respected. We just don't need to have lots of people that can be nicknamed the "Bill Donohue of Atheism".
That's what the religious think. To them, God is as much a given as air.
I don't think atheism needs a champion, either, but it's not because it's obvious.
Honestly, it's so much easier (for me) to be thinking than wishing. But that just sounds elitist, so I immediately suck. Or I'm drunk/both.
Disclaimer: –I was baptized Catholic at age two upon the insistence of my grandmother who thought [seriously] the Devil would somehow inhabit me because my parents weren't married. There.
I was a cradle Catholic and finding my way out was a bitch but I did it. When Maher freaks out over religious names he is assuming that these children will all be ignorant religious tards and that none of them will find their own way into reality.
There you see is the true stupidity of it. My name could be Mary Anne O'Flannery but that sure as hell doesn't make me a catholic.
I wish it were that simple. It's almost sublime, to consider that the population that needs the least explanations, also has the least substantive arguments for defending anything.
Consider that every religion has a bible, or prayer, or testimony subset. Something that makes people dig in and hold out. Atheists? We're antithetical at worst. And yet your remark about its obviousness (which you'd think would have the most merit of all) has no merit in the eyes of a believer. They can only see what we see, when they stop looking at the world "that way."
The Tooth Fairy is a myth? Damn it … where do I go to complain about this? Next you'll be telling me that Santa Claus is just some wino in a red suit.
Don’t even ask about leprechauns…
So Bill, should we kill their leaders and force them to rename their children "Mo Ham to Eat?"
~
Man, that must've been some serious contact high Maher got off of Galifianakis's joint.
Bill just hates babies.
Especially and particularly Muslim ones in so-called Western nations, apparently.
All Muslim parents need to do to remove this threat to western civilization is to choose a different name for their male child besides "Mohammed". As there are thousands of names available, (according to names4muslims.com), this should be relatively easy, and ease Maher's fears of the obliteration of white culture. (Honestly, have you tried the food over there?)
If there were more Abduls, Shihabs, Masuds, and Arbazzs there would be fewer Moahmmeds, and it would most likely not be the most popular name in the UK.
Mustafa.
Um I don't think Bill Maher was referencing White culture being superior; I think you all are missing the larger point. He's talking about SECULARISM which fundamentalist Islam opposes even more virulently than evangelical christianity does. I don't like what Maher said because he didn't reference his concern over muhammed being the #1 baby lame in Lobsterbackia as being more signifying the spread of fundamentalism which it pretty well does signify.
Some folks name their baby after Uncle Muhammed, just as many Americans name their boys Joseph after Uncle Joe. It isn't necessarily a religious connection, just as every guy named Jesus isn't necessarily a christian fanatic.
Scroll through any family tree anywhere and find the multitude of common names. It is the time honored tradition of respecting our roots and honoring our loved ones, it's ignorant to make anything more of it. Like Barack Hussein Obama. Oh, scary Muslim name! Geeze.
I don't think you're getting the point. Most people are religious. Most immigrants are religious. To generalize that most of the folks moving into the UK are fundamentalist is a reach too far, which is EXACTLY what he did. He heard the name "Mohammed" which is as about a common name as (Saint) John and made some sweeping, offensive generalization.
I'm not a religious man, but you don't have to be one to know what he was getting at and how offensive it was.
After "Peace Train," "Crazy Train," and "Love Train": ladies and gentlemen, I give you "Train Wreck."
I was going to get upset about this, but then I remembered that I don't give a rat's ass about what Bill Maher thinks. I still rather appreciate his shit-stirring (or "provocativeness", for media-critic types), but most of his actual opinions — as far as I'm aware of them — seem to be greatly over-simplified and too emotionally-held.
Well it is sort of sad Europe is heading towards a theistic shift; and right after just about getting rid of 1000 years of religious zealotry/hatred/wars. It is a bit sad that yet another group of misogynist & homophobic religious kooks are in place, isn't it? The problem though is not in the names of the kids but how do you enlighten a generation? I mean compare the current generation of malcontents in Europe with to their newly immigrant parents & grandparents?
Theistic shift? Really? You got any numbers on that, or just the silly, anecdotal "the Muslins are invading!" far-right news stories?
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/4385768.stm
so the BBC is a far-right news org? it's just basic statistics on immigration & birth rates. and yes, I don't think it's so great replacing a fading homophobic & misogynist religion with a new fired-up zealous homophobic & misogynist religion. Not that I care about what the babies are called.
Welcome to reality. The U.S. and U.K. have been replacing their own homophobic and misogynist without any help from immigrants. So this bullshit about an invasion being any worse than is already happening is just that, bullshit, and xenophobic bullshit, at that.
Well, you saw what those damn baby-eating Irish did to America, replacing True American(TM) Purantinism with their liberal papists ideas.
In the worst case scenario; I haven't heard of soccer hooligans burning down neighborhood's cars every time a cop arrests one of their own; or joining training camps to kill people etc. You can't get more xenophobic than a religious nut; and I don't see anything to be happy about the fact that angry disaffected yoof of Europe from Morocco, Turkey etc are growing. Have you ever travelled/lived there? I just got back from a trip to Belgium & the Netherlands and packs of angry punks bothering everybody from gays to Africans was noticeable.
It's true. This wingnut, for instance, is weirdly popular in Germany and the Netherlands:
http://wilber.shambhala.com/html/misc/iraq.cfm
Srsly. These are the people who bought ed kowalczyk's solo album.
WHAT THE FUCK IS IT WITH YOU AND KEN WILBER?!? Is he your ex or something?
If you think he's bad (or Dawkins) you're not old enough to remember when atheists were "all represented" by the crazy Madelyn Murray O'Hair and her family — basically atheism's answer to the Westboro Baptist Church (before those nutjobs were around).
But at least the biggest douche atheist rep you can think of is still much better than religious leaders calling for holy wars, crusades, jihads etc.
Eh too much zealotry from religion to non-religion creates some pretty nasty crimes. By the way Karl Rove is an atheist so don't pretend atheists are all good people. I'll wager you get about the same ration of good/ asshat in any religious faith, including atheism.
That was a good point up until calling, or implying that, atheism is a "religious faith." It's not a religion. Just a pet peeve of mine.
So does Maher have a list of approved names?
Yes he does…and it's short and sweet:
William, Willy, Will, Bill, Billy
Willhelmina, Willa, Billie
Christine?
Well he has to find SOME way to prove he's being discriminated against!
If Bill Maher worked for NPR, he'd have been handcuffed, wrestled to the ground and stomped.
Bill Maher reappeared on my "media radar" recently (Christine OD video clips from the '90s) but now he is just an incredible dick.
maher is an unfunny whore-mongering hack that steals material and performs it poorly.
As war chief of the Wonkanog injuns, I call for a jihad on maher. what a racist cunt.
Being a 55 year old man-boy is not very attractive and no amount of metro-grooming will stave off early onset dementia. Plus everyone is jealous of the Stewart press post rally (except Colbert who may be a saint) and will say or do anything for attention.
But he thought those 9/11 hijackers were so brave.
I think that was the worst episode of Real Time ever. In the discussion with his panel, Bill basically just yelled at the two conservatives that their side of the political spectrum produces violence. Maybe some truth to that, but the way he did it, he made the conservatives sympathetic to viewers. There was no interesting discussion, just hollering and defensiveness. I was hoping they'd pause the show so that Mahr could take a few bong hits.
Wake me when an avowed libertarian DOESN'T subscribe to "liberty for me but not for thee."
Thank you. This is why I have always hated Bill Maher. Libertarianism is for the intellectually lazy.
Religions exist in the world. They are concieved to spread their ideology. These are the facts. Deal with them. (The facts, I mean. Continue to single out Muslims as scary "others.")
Bill Maher , the libtard's Dennis Miller
A muslim by any other name will still be a terroritst
Looks like Bill out Hitchens-ed, Hitchens this time.
So Bill was slobbering drunk when he did his rant?! (Sorry, couldn't bring myself to actually watch the vid…)
I'm not a bigot, but I get nervous when I see people with Muslim names doing Muslim things and looking all Muslim-y. Also with blacks, Mexicans, and orientals.
I'm frightened that God spelled backward is dog, and that there are so many of them.
Is Cletus #1 for adorable teabaggie babies here in the 'Murica? Or maybe Twyla? Or Bubba?
Bill Maher still has plenty of credit in my book. The atheism, the stonerism and, as Pop_Socket just reminded me, his brave and, might I add, fucking SOLO defense of the English language in the wake of the Two Towers incident.
Besides, Mohammed is a stupid name. Larry, Curly and MOE hammed.
Although I must confess I didn't actually watch the clip because, for some strange reason, I've got no sound on my computer.
In my opinion, that's what makes him even more frustrating. He's right about so many things that I find myself trying to defend him when he's being an asshole, and if I wanted to defend assholes I'd make it easy on myself and vote Republican.
In his defense, all babies are pretty scary, especially the 'infants in arms'. Why do they let armed infants aboard airplanes all the time?
Bill Maher is, of course, entitle to his own facts. He confuses the local arbitration groups with British courts.
But let's not let facts get in Bill's way. He has it all figured out in his head and more facts would just lead to lack of certainty.
I thought "atheist who weren't dicks" just call themselves agnostics.
So if I want to name my hypothetical kid after our nation's greatest boxer, Maher will want to kill him? Great. Why does Bill Maher hate our legendary (and antiwar activist) athletes?
As with Imus, who added a coupla black panelists as semi-permanent participants on his show in the wake of the "nappy-head hos" brouhaha, Maher will add a coupla comedians of Muslim background to Politically Incorrect. & change the show's slogan to 4 THA HALULZ.
I don't mind the muzlin baby names so much but if they grow up and don't do some cursory trimming down there I ain't fuckin' em!!!
Muslim names only work if they are your LAST name, right, Maher?
Dammit, Jack! Don't you know that our Lieberal Code requires us to only say bad things about Libertarians and wingers? I know it's true — Kevin or GreaseBunny told us so just the other day. Now you've completely ruined this site for me, thank you very much.
So if muslims named their male babies something other than Mohammed, they wouldn't be a threat to western civilization?
Separation of church and state in Britain? Isn't the monarch the head of the Anglican church?
To give her her full title, Her Majesty Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and of Her other Realms and Territories, Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith is indeed the Head of State and the Head of the Anglican church.
But Anglican is barely a religion, really, is it? It's like Catholicism but without the Virgin Mary, or the actual belief in God and/or Jesus. I believe the most sacred part of Anglicanism is "Afternoon Tea".
Bill Maher makes the rest of us non-religious progressives look like hateful loons. Personally, I'm not afraid of people of faith, I'm afraid of people with weapons.
Next we can stop parents from giving kids Christian names like John, Mark, Matthew, Mary, etc.
Not all people of faith have weapons, but an awful lot of people with weapons are people of faith.
I honestly think it is more about being frightened by fundamentalists of any religion, not just Muslims…..Christians, Muslims, Lutherans, Quakers, Shakers, Baby Makers…..they all scare the hell out of me, and I don't want to see their population grow….but at the same time, I defend their right to be as ignorant and misguided as they please, and to build whatever damn monoliths to their dieties that they want, wherever they want.
No, but Timothy Patrick Tariq Aziz Wahad Muhammad O'Brien would creep him out and the shitting bricks would come when you raise him to be a Scientologist.
Yes Sir (or Ma'am)!!
"So you would ban arbitration in the US? Or perhaps just Home Owners Associations. "
YesHell Yes.Actually there are soccer hooligans that do worse shit than burning cars. You just never hear about it because it's way scarier when muslims do stuff. If you've been paying attention to recent hooligan related violence in Europe you'd know.
As for the kids in Paris who rioted, they did so as a result of police brutality. And eventhough the lame stream media wanted to make it a huge deal it was actually a joke compared to what happened in L.A. after the Rodney King fiasco. But, you know, since it's black and north african kids fed up with taking shit from the cops, then it becomes the apocalypse for ignorant idiots like yourself.
Seriously, if you found the muzzys in Amsterdam or Bruxelles scary, I recommend that you never, ever, ever go to a poor neighborhood in Miami or New Orleans because you'll literally shit yourself. Another thing, the Turks and the Moroccans are the most moderate muslims in Europe, also. What you're doing is taking the English islamophobia and trying to apply it to Holland and Belgium and it just doesn't work.
it wasn't police brutality in Paris. some brat who did a crime got himself killed running away from the cops. cue riots by the perpetually outraged yoof and burning of hundreds of cars of innocent victims. there was no "Rodney King moment/poor innocent victim." And I've seen this repeated in Brussels & Antwerp. I know liberal and moderate people in Brussels & Amsterdam fed up with the coddling of these brats; and I can't say I blame them for feeling prisoners in their own neighborhoods & cities & countries.
I'm sorry, but as a liberal I'm not going to make excuses for xenophobic misogyinst homophobic religious nuts to get violent for any half-assed reason they (or you) come up with.
Oh my, how fucking dramatic. Give it a rest, you have no idea what the fuck you're talking about.
yeah, only having lived in the UK & Germany for a number of years, dumbass. No wonder the white-trash RepugliKKKans have taken over, if the other side is all snark & ignorance….
