On Friday’s “Real Time” program on HBO, host Bill Maher said that “almost all mainstream media” was “useless” in attacking Salman Rushdie and that liberals “should support people like Sylvanas Fardos and the majority of Muslims”. Those who came to this country because they did not want to live with such bandits and theocracy” led to this attack.
Maher said, “The person who needs to hear the attack on Salman Rushdie, the world’s strongest moral voice against Islamist violence, is Salman Rushdie. The fact that he can’t speak now also shows us that the wrong side won this round. And sorry, there are two sides to that, and no, Muslim. “There’s a lot of brave Muslims and a lot of cowardly stupid liberals. In this case, if all you can say is that stabbing is bad and I’m against it, you’re useless without thinking about the reasons behind it. And it tells almost every major media outlet.”
He later added: “This is Silvana Fardos. The mother of the teenager who stabbed my friend. Now when asked what she should say to her son, Mrs. “I can’t say anything to him,” Fardos said. “I’m done with him,” she said. Ok, this is a hero. It is courage. Sylvanas Fardos might raise the bullshit we’ve heard from so many activist writers since the Charlie Hebdo massacre, the bullshit about how these murdered cartoonists did it, because they were “shot with the fist” and yes, the room was full. corpses, but on the other hand, these cartoons are disturbing. But he didn’t. He had the courage to say, “I don’t have mercy on those who think like that, even if it’s my son.” Am I saying now that every Muslim house harbors a terrorist? No. I mean liberals, you should support people like Silvana Fardos and many other Muslims instead of crying Islamophobia every time someone says the weird right that Islam wants you to be killed if you insult the gods. in this country because they don’t want to live in such banditry and theocracy.
