Islamophobia isn’t just a right-wing problem, @MehdiRHasan notes. Liberals have pushed dangerous anti-Muslim talking points. “This hate unites bigots regardless of their ethnicity or their political allegiance,” @WajahatAli adds. “I’ll give you one quick example: “Bill Maher.”

Bill Maher is a bigot through and through. He is not an example of anything on the left because his politics are the antithesis of progressive.
You can be a Democrat, vote Democrat, and still be a racist.
Imho, one of the most contributing ingredient for #Islamophobia is refusal of Muslims to openly and outrightly (without seeking any justification) condemn violence in the name of Jihad. No better example than Afghan Taliban? @WajSKhan @AdilNajam @nadeemmalik
Congresswoman Ilihan, where is the @TheBlackCaucus when you need their support the most concerning apartheid; have they forgotten the era of Jim Crow?
I don’t think your average liberal (oxymoron?) wants to take responsibility for that moron Bill Maher
Muslims do not respect or follow any of our rights or our constitution.
Maybe you’re wrong and @billmaher is right?? Just a thought.
Yes, and if Bill Maher was spouting similar vitriol against Israel or people of the Jewish faith as he does against Islam or Muslims he would’ve been off the air decades ago.
