Did he break into a giggle while saying that? Or doesn't he consider Christianity and Judaism to be religions?

Bet this was a news bulletin for the religious bodies that object to the government’s edict that they must obey government rather than God in the matters of contraception and abortion coverage in their employee health plans.

He is such a liar.

Really?

Did he come out publically against Maher's Religulous?

Has he made any public comment ever about specific instances of people denigrating other religions besides Islam?

Not when that religion makes people fly planes into buildings believing that doing that looks good their god and gets them into their version of heaven.

Islam is disgusting. It isn’t peaceful. Any religion that converts at the edge of a sword, and threatens death if you try to leave it, is not one any thinking American can rationally support.

Just because they may not have enough clout to act that way here doesn’t mean sharia creep isn’t occurring and they do act like this in coutries where they have enough power to act that way and not get into trouble doing so.

i’m an American. and I DO denigrate some religions.
example, the bloody religion of the Aztecs.
...cutting the beating hearts out of thousands.
-
and,
i do denigrate a religion,
that teaches hatred of Jews, teaches they are literally
descendants of pigs and apes.
i do denigrate a religion, that teaches the most perfect man, has sex with an age 9 girl, when he was 56
(and he “thighed” her, etc., for 3 years before that!!!).
i do denigrate a religion, that teaches it is ok to rape, kill, and lie to, anyone of ANY other religion.
-
...on top of which, Islam is seditious by definition, and should be banned.

If Obama really rejected denigration of any religion, he would turn down all campaign contributions from Bill Maher. But we all know that isn’t true.

Hey, Barry, you don't speak for me. I DO denigrate the false religion of Islam. I just don't go around killing Muslims. Instead, I tolerate them. That's what tolerance is, you know, when you choose not to kill or imprison those who are doing things of which you disapprove.

There is no god called "Allah," and Mohammed is his false prophet. Piss be upon them.

Good thing our government doesn't fund any projects or art that denigrates any religions.

**sniff sniff** - Is that sarcasm I smell?

The Left respects all religions* and beliefs and object to the denigration of faith.

*the term "religion" excludes Evangelical Protestantism, conservative Catholicism, some branches of Orthodox Judaism, and on alternate weekends, Scientology.

There are good Muslims and there are bad Muslims.

The good Muslims are the Islamist terrorists because they read and follow the teachings of the Qur’an.

The bad Muslims are the so called moderate Muslims because they don't follow their own “holy” (sarc) book.

For this reason I don't like ANY Muslims. I don't like terrorists and I don't like hypocrites.

Islam is a “made up” religion by a degenerate. Mohammad made Allah and Islam up. Why would anyone believe a guy like Mohamed? They probably didn't, they just liked the raping and pillaging.

This dog eating Muslim does not speak for me.

Islam is not a religion, it is a killer cult.

I hate it when politicians try to say what America is or isn’t, what they like and what they don’t.

They speak for themselves and say American does this and that.Americans are individuals and Islam sucks.

A copy of that speech needs to be presented at every court challenge to Obamacare’s requirement about abortion and birth control by churches and businesses who object on religious grounds.
