But isn't that the problem with Islam? There is no such thing as reform within the greater religion and they have zero respect for the spiritual values of other religions. Bill Maher is absolutely correct to bring this point home. Seems you are too consumed with making everything equal rather than seeing the obvious.

"But whatever you believe or don’t, if you’re selling blanket intolerance, you don’t get to call yourself one of the good guys. You shouldn’t even get to call yourself one of the smart ones."

Aethiesim does not teach blanket intolerance, Bill. Having that intolerance makes one a bad aethiest, or a bad Christian or Muslim or Jew.
