In an appearance to promote the upcoming season of his HBO talk show, liberal commentator Bill Maher slammed politically-correct liberals for not truly standing up for free speech in the aftermath of the attack on the Charlie Hebdo offices. Maher referred to the aforementioned liberals as a “pussy nation,” adding that they must stand up for their principles.
[…] Maher made his comments to ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel on his late night show Wednesday night. “This was really big shit,” Maher said. “And we have to not avoid who did this.” “Well, we presume…” Kimmel said before Maher cut him off. Watch:
Let it not be said that Islamists have the market cornered on moonbat religious idiocy.
Whereas earlier we shared MSNBC equivocating lawsuits with murderous slaughter, similarly Catholic League President Bill Donohue essentially says, yeah, well those horrible cartoonists deserved it; they had it coming; they asked for it….
(Via TR) Bill Donohue, President of the Catholic League, decried the violence of the Charlie Hebdo massacre on his organization’s website, but contended the French satirical magazine brought the attack on itself by publishing offensive cartoons. Donohue started by saying that the killing, “must be unequivocally condemned” but “neither should we tolerate the kind of intolerance that provoked this violent reaction.”
“Those who work at this newspaper have a long and disgusting record of going way beyond the mere lampooning of public figures, and this is especially true of their depictions of religious figures. For example, they have shown nuns masturbating and popes wearing condoms. They have also shown Muhammad in pornographic poses. (more…)
You won’t hear about this in the MSM, not because it’s not historic and not because it’s not intensely important, but rather because Fattah El Sisi is a genuine “moderate Muslim” leader – and the Obama administration hate him.
The U.S. administration loathe him – Because el Sisi took down their man Mohammed Morsi, the now jailed leader of the Muslim Brotherhood and former extremist President of Egypt.
President Obama despises Fattah el-Sisi. Obama never called him to congratulate him on his massive election victory; President Obama and John Kerry were furious that el-Sisi stood up and supported Benjamin Netanyahu, and pressured Hamas to concessions and peace, then el-Sisi began destroying the Sinai terror tunnels to Gaza. El Sisi retains a massive 82%+ approval rating in Egypt.
HatTip to Sharon: (Via American Thinker) In a historic event that set Cairo ablaze, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah elSisi made an unannounced appearance at the Coptic Cathedral where Christmas Eve Mass was being celebrated by the Egyptian Pope Tawadros II. The Coptic Church celebrates Christmas on 7 January because of its use of the Julian calendar instead of the Gregorian. It was the first time ever that an Egyptian President was honoring a Coptic Christmas celebration with his presence.
Liberalism is a mental disorder.
Cue the audio visual demonstration of MSNBC pundits who find an ideological comparative between radical islamists killing French satire cartoonists and Jerry Falwell suing Hustler magazine.
Yes, they actually bend the moral relevancy continuum to equivocate mass slaughter and a lawsuit. This must be what they mean by “Leaning Forward”…. until you reach the point where you can actually shove your own head up your butt.
Let it not be said that no Muslim Leaders have been trying to fight openly against the extremist Islamists. On New Year’s Day, a week before the Charlie Hebdo attacks, Egyptian President Fattah El Sisi called for all muslim nations to displace violent jihad and bring Islam into the 21st century.
El Sisi has been fighting against the extremists, and confronting their financiers in Qatar, for two years… Meanwhile the Obama White House and the liberal MSM have undermined him at almost every turn.
JERUSALEM—In a speech on New Year’s day, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi called for a “religious revolution” in Islam that would displace violent jihad from the center of Muslim discourse.
“Is it possible that 1.6 billion people (Muslims worldwide) should want to kill the rest of the world’s population—that is, 7 billion people—so that they themselves may live?” he asked. “Impossible.”
Speaking to an audience of religious scholars celebrating the birth of Islam’s prophet, Mohammed, he called on the religious establishment to lead the fight for moderation in the Muslim world. “You imams (prayer leaders) are responsible before Allah. The entire world—I say it again, the entire world—is waiting for your next move because this umma (a word that can refer either to the Egyptian nation or the entire Muslim world) is being torn, it is being destroyed, it is being lost—and it is being lost by our own hands.” (more…)
