It is interesting that you mention Bill Maher. I used to watch his show because he was funny and irreverent, and he usually had interesting guests. But I ended up thinking, wow, this guy is really an over-the-top Islamophobe. The only effect that had on me was to make me more curious about Islam, which is partly why I have subscribed to Islam Today (full disclosure: I am not religious, but I grew up in the US, immersed in a Christian dominated society).
He is a vehement anti-Muslim bigot, and worse, he refuses to engage with Muslims on these critical issues. He'll demonize us to no end, but will never have an actual Muslim academic on his show because he knows he'll get intellectually decimated. And that's bad for his ego.
And thank you for subscribing to Islam Today! Truly grateful. I hope you find it an educational and enlightening experience. And reach out with any topics you'd like to see covered. ❤️✊🏽
" . . . reducing all violence in Nigeria to “Muslims killing Christians” is not only ignorant, it's the reason white nationalists perpetuate the lie. This is just ONE of the ways they set up the marginalization of people who aren't white. "Christian vs Muslim" is a convenient way to add insult to injury. Ironic coming from a population who seems to be in the news an awful lot lately for sexual abuse of children. Let's "reduce the Muslim population of jihadists" as we steal more of Africa's natural resources.
This needs to spread all over TikTok since that’s where the youth is. They’re the future and they need all the information not just what this regime finds suitable to its narrative. It’s a matter of life and death for all not only in Nigeria but here as well. Parents can’t allow this government to send their children and the future of our country to die just to line TDump and Co.’s pockets
I'm flabbergasted by that. Imagine discussing something as serious as mass murder and genocide, and refusing to provide evidence for your claim. Just absurd.
Nigeria has more ph.d’s per capita than the United States. I’ve met some at conferences. Incredibly nice, intelligent people. They deserve so much better.
This administration evidently intends to leave a legacy of death, destruction, and distrust on a global scale and so far, they've been terribly successful.
Does he truely think anyone will believe he gives a damn about anyone else than himself?
There are countries where christians are being subjected to mistreatment and harassment. But those are countries where christians is the minority, and in those contries muslims are treated worse. And most of those countries are not muslim majority countries.
One of those countries is Israel, where christians is being spat on for example. But muslims and especially palestinian or arabs in general is being treated as second rate citizens. Even inside what is called Israel.
Another country is India, christians is being physically attacked, beaten up. But also there, muslims are treated worse. They are treated as the socalled "dalit" caste. Hindu extremeists are doing literally what they want to them. Beating them up, burning their house, their belongings. Sexual assults, and killing them. Without any consequenses. Once in a blue moon the people responsible goes are arrested and later convicted. But then they are released by the authorities and celebrated.
To the people on the ground it appears to make no difference which religion one espouses. "Extremists rebels, people excluded from what passes for a stable economy" are intent on shifting that economy to benefit themselves. Are they egged on by the corporate honchos trying to clear the ground to take advantage of mineral and petro deposits? Would not be the first time - typical colonial tactic.
Oil. It's always oil
Excellent back story to this horrible story, Qasim. You make sense out of what this regime is doing, thank you, and will reStack ASAP 🙏
So true. And Trump and the white 'Christian' nationalists here in the US don't give a shit about black Christians in Africa.
They don't give a shit about people of color anywhere--unless, of course, there is a way they can profit from more political performance.

Maher is truly a hollow man. Over-inflated ego with nothing inside.

A world view created out of lies is poison.

I’ll be sure to make a video to post
"I won't reveal my source of this shocking statistic" means "this statistic is 100% made up".
I'm flabbergasted by that. Imagine discussing something as serious as mass murder and genocide, and refusing to provide evidence for your claim. Just absurd.
bill maher is not a Democrat.

You are the best at calling the utter hypocrisy of DonOld and his minions.
I have assumed that a large part of violence in Nigeria stems from the oil industry forcing people from their homes at gunpoint.
