The Young Turks: Cenk Uygur- 'Ben Affleck Angrily Defends Islam Against Bill Maher/Sam Harris'

Source:The Young Turks- Actor & Left-Wing PC Warrior Ben Affleck, on Real Time With Bill Maher, claiming that Islam is a race. Not really, but that's what he implied when he said that criticizing Islam is racist, which is false on at least two levels.

"Ben Affleck was quick to call out what he felt was Bill Maher's "gross, racist, disgusting," ideas about Islam during a heated debate. The "Gone Girl" star appeared on "Real Time with Bill Maher" Friday and things got heavy when the late night talk show host continued his conversation about Islam, which he started the week before. "You and I have been trying to make the case that liberals need to stand up for liberal principles," Maher said to fellow panelist, author Sam Harris."* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down."

Just to correct Ben Affleck: any criticism against Islam or Muslims is not racist. Why, because Islam is not a race, but a religion. I pointed this out last night, but the far-left has decided that any criticism against Islam is racist, okay bigoted, because again Islam is not a race. 

If you want to talk about ignorance on the Far-Right which this blog has and will continue to do, great, but don’t leave out the Far-Left that has a bad habit of saying things that are simply not true.

Now why has the Far-Left decided that any criticism against Islam right or left is, well bigoted? Because Islam is not Christianity and Muslims tend to be something other than Caucasian and especially don’t tend to be Anglo or of Western European decent. There are Caucasian-Muslims, but they tend to come from Eastern and Southeastern Europe, like in the Slavic countries. 

In the small fringe world of the Far-Left, maybe 10-15 percent of the population, it’s perfectly acceptable to criticize the Christian-Right, especially Caucasians. But if you attack a non-Christian, non-western religion, you are a bigot.

The Far-Left or Fascist-Left with their whole political correctness movement has decided that outlawing speech they find offensive, is simply not practical. The whole First Amendment gets in their way on that. So what they’ve decided that if they can’t shut people up through government force, they’ll try to shut people up through protest and lawsuit and screaming at people, to prevent people even on the Left like Sam Harris and Bill Maher, from making their case.
