It’s unfair for Bill Maher to take a slice in time and target Muslims having ‘bad ideas’ - just 60 years ago black in America had what qadianis in pakistan may be going through now. Also, Bill doesn’t cut the same slack to Muslims that he does to zionists. Just because christians now have achieved nirvana after centuries of bloodshed in dark/middle ages does not strip them off of having 'bad ideas. But the flip side to that is, there is no inquisition going on in modern times when it comes to chrisitanity. No sacraments and from the looks of it, and pope Francis is doing awesome things that Christians couldn’t have dreamed of in their lifetime.

Similarly, blacks are a lot better in American now compared to 60 years ago. That did not happen in a vacuum. People fought for their rights, they fought for equality, they shed blood. Not that blacks are not still being marginalized but they are definitely a lot better off – there are dialogues that happen every time there is police brutality or voter id laws or prison population and how most of the black kids are imprisoned due to unfair, nonsensical drug-on-war laws…but most important thing is that THERE IS A DIALOGUE OR THERE IS A CONVERSATION that happens every time there is controversy. Be it gays in army, pot, blacks, latinos, what not. This is just a society we are talking about. The point of the author is that we don’t have societies where conversation can occur because people get killed over holding opposing views. All religions have ‘bad ideas’ but question is, who has gotten rid of most of those and who still live in the dust of the history. So may be we are not nuttier, we are only a century behind. May be we’ll have a qadiani prime minister 60 years from now. But we can’t have that until we let voices like the author’s risen without fear or persecution.

You don’t like gays, no one is asking you to. What they are asking you to defend the rights of the gays and those with whom you disagree with so they can disagree with you without fear of persecution.

Majority of the muslim world view sharia laws as something they should implement as part of justice system of their respective country. Sharia laws are full of ‘bad ideas’ when it comes to equality. Until there is a fearless conversation about the merits of such law and their place in modern world fascism will continue to rule our conscious when it comes to following religion.

You offended Ahmadis. Bad. Have some respect for their sentiments.

They do not like to be called Qadianis. You have been around for a long time, (maybe with different ID or not), but you should have known better.

And talking about dialogue or one of them possibly being prime minister?

You had it going somewhat good until you started drifting and adding ludicrous ideas.

No one is persecuted in Pakistan for being gay. They may get criticized. But that is the opinion of majority,.. most likely based on strong irrefutable evidences.

You said no one is asking you to like gays. Fine, then why gays keep shoving their way of living by using mass media and ask people to accept them?

Lots of gays live in Islamic countries including Pakistan without being harmed, and they live side by side of non-gays. No one bothers them.

Similarly Ahmadi’s are not being killed on regular basis or being ridiculed. They still go to their respective places of work or worship.

Please stop reading ‘news’ from world famous news media outlets periodically.

P.S. If you are not already a mod or admin member, me calling your ideas ludicrous may get you to be a mod soon or you have your modship staying even longer. I DO have that (chamatkar) magical power.

@Roman
