The bottom line is that while Cornel West and Bill Maher may differ on certain points, when it comes to blaming America, there's no divide.

I had to laugh at West's assertion (that) there are prophetic (he must have meant pathetic) Islamic figures who argue for liberties, for tolerance, for equality -- beginning with Malcolm X … There's a whole tradition within Islam that argues for rights, tolerance and equality," West said..
Beginning with Malcolm X?. In a history of brutality and savagery that spans 1400 years, to say that it's only been fifty years since there's been a whole tradition within Islam that argues for rights, tolerance and equality is not saying very much.... Whole tradition?????!!!.
What whole tradition? When? Where?

Secondly, while ISIS follows the "Terrorist Manual" The K-ran, to the letter, to the same degree of savagery and inhumanity as its author, Mad, Malevolent, Mo', there is nothing in the Bible suggesting lynching as being part of any Christian ritual. Lynching is certainly not a Christian ritual to any degree or sort. A ridiculous analogy, if ever there was one.

Islam that argues for rights, tolerance and equality - would violate eh basic tenet of Islam which requires submission to the Islamic system.

No matter who you are.

Here’s the difference Corny, I can use the tenets of Christianity to point out the sinfulness of lynching. ISIS is perfectly consistent and faithful to the tenets of islam.

Here’s the stats on lynchings.
http://law2.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/shipp/lynchingsstate.html

A quarter of those lynched were white. Eerily, this mimics the current crime statistics of black versus white murder rates (7 : 1).

The totals from Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia are obvious indications of racism, but other places not so much.

This record of 4,743 total lynchings also covers 1882 to 1968 (84 years). ISIS likely dispatched that many in 6 months.

Muslims believe that Mohammad was perfect, inspired by their god Allah. All Muslims are to be inspired by Mohammed and do as he did. Everything ISIS is doing was also done by Mohammad. Thus, ISIS is a mainstream, majority group, not an isolated fringe.

I 100% agree that ISIS finds justification for rape, kidnapping, and the selling of women for sexual slavery right there in their “holy book”. I have seen the quotations myself. Islam represents conquest by sword or forced conversion. And as soon as the dimmer among us get hip to that, the sooner we can start eradicating the vermin. The Koran is manual written in Hell..

Yet, Maher and West did come together on one point: blaming America for its hand in exasperating the problem.

It is exasperating to see that the author seemingly does not understand the difference between "exasperating" and "exacerbating".

(Yes, there is an argument to be made that an archaic usage of 'exasperating' might have a meaning similar to that of 'exacerbating', but that argument would be a losing one.)

It’s easy to pick on colonialism, but nobody really ever considers what the alternative would have been.

Gee Cornel, maybe it is time to take an honest look at where the movement began to free black slaves and treat them as free men.

Oh wait, that would take honesty....never seen that in a dem yet, black, white or purple polka dotted.

Who does West think the first Abolitionists were?

Where are the Islamic abolitionists today?

I judge Islam by the Koran, ISIS, Al Qaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Martyrs Brigade, Al Shabab, Abu Sayef, Boko Haram, and the complete silence from “moderate” Muslims.

muslims are only as moderate as there percentage in their country's population.

Including their shari law when a controlling majority.

Present day, that include honor murders, stoning to death & head-chopping.

There's a whole tradition within Islam that argues for rights, tolerance and equality," West said.

They would be heretics in my view and in the view of the fundamentalists.

That's exactly why so many so-called Cafeteria Muslims get killed along with us Infidels. They are nothing more than heretics and apostates.

Anyone not agreeing with his established religion should leave it. So these Muslims muddle along and try to change the religion to suit their lifestyles.
The problem these heretical Muslims have is that leaving the religion carries the death penalty.

Narrated 'Abdullah: Allah's Apostle said, "The blood of a Muslim who confesses that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that I am His Apostle, cannot be shed except in three cases: In Qisas for murder, a married person who commits illegal sexual intercourse and the one who reverts from Islam (apostate) and leaves the Muslims."

Sahih Bukhari 9:83:17 Narrated Ikrima: Ali burnt some people and this news reached Ibn 'Abbas, who said, "Had I been in his place I would not have burnt them, as the Prophet said, 'Don't punish (anybody) with Allah's Punishment.' No doubt, I would have killed them, for the Prophet said, 'If somebody (a Muslim) discards his religion, kill him.' " Sahih Bukhari 4:52:260

Actually, the socialists are more like Islam. Death by Christians is actually not that many.

Death by Socialist is in the multi millions....as is death by Muslim.

Will the real murderer please stand up?

Socislam stood.

There is a big difference. The Christian bible is against such acts of violence regardless of how a few so called Christians behaved.

The Islamic bible calls for such acts of violence against all who are not Islamic.
