(1,893 posts)How quickly would an ugly remark like that be hidden if it were referring to Jews? But if it's directed toward Muslims - no problem.

Note, I don't agree with Bill, I am just saying where I think he makes that assumption.
Another poster pointed out this pew poll: http://www.pewforum.org/2013/04/30/the-worlds-muslims-religion-politics-society-beliefs-about-sharia/

(28,876 posts)Seriously, what should we do about our "Muslim problem"?
I too would like to see evidence that "100's of millions" of Muslims support murder for a cartoon.

(13,598 posts)It is certainly true that hundreds of millions of Muslims - probably over a billion - believe that blasphemy should be illegal, and that virtually no Muslim-majority country protects freedom of speech..
I suspect that the number who believe it should be a capital crime is lower, but still probably in the hundreds of millions. However, unlike the number who support criminalising it, that's just a guess, not evidence-based.
I don't know how many support these particular murders (or have even heard of them), but it would surprise me if it was as many as one Muslim in 8 (which is what "hundreds of millions" means).

(3,829 posts)As Bill Maher has said on his show before: Muslims only believe in violence and the only way to deal with Muslims is with violence. Note his strong support for Israel's atrocities in the Gaza Strip and any other atrocity by that apartheid nation.
