    Not true. Jon Stewarts whole stick is Jewish Comedian and he's spoken out against some of the artrocities carried out by them. But to be fair, not as much as he probably should have.

    Also, Al Jazeera America and RT do exist you know. Also, PBS are pretty good at not showing any bias.

    was referring to mainstream american tv

    Paul Jay, of the TheRealNews, asks if Bill Maher has the courage to defend his Islamophobic views (end of video).

    It'd be great to see Maher debate his views on Islam with a person who knows what they're talking about, like Deepa Kumar, instead of seeking cheap applause.

    I couldn't see Bill Maher ever having a proper debate with a religious scholar or anyone like that about Islam. I seriously doubt he knows anything about Islam or the the complexities of the Islamic world beyond what he sees on television. Know it alls like him usually actually know very little about what they're trying to condemn. He's just a smart arse.

    Never could warm to Maher honestly. A very smug individual and really no better than the right wing sensationalist commentators he makes fun of.

    In case you need a bit more Sam Harris in your life, here he is in conversation for 3 hrs with Cenk Uygur :)

    Yeah, a good start would be: when you see a thread with his name in the title, you don't open it.

    But that's not always possible in this world of Islamic extremists, is it?
