Jon Stewart on Bassem Yusef's show

[jafar00]

Jon Stewart visited Cairo and went on Bassem Youssef's show. Bassem if you don't know already has a political satire show in Egypt modelled after Jon Stewart's successful Daily Show.

He has been arrested a few times for lampooning President Morsi like the time Morsi wore a Pakistani outfit when he visited Pakistan....

I liked most Jon's message of tolerance. Like most Americans who travel to the Middle East (as tourists not as invasion armies!) he found Arabs to be the most warm and hospitable people you could ever meet. A stark contrast to his rival Bill O'Reilly who is full of hate and venom.

Have a watch and maybe laugh, then think...

Speaking of "tolerance" - maybe you should condemn that shitty Morsi lead Islamist crap running the show over there and arresting people for satire. You state O'reilly is full of venom and hate - but when I hear him speak of Islam and such, I also hear the TRUTH. Unless of course you're willing to point out any lies he has made?

O'Reilly, Jonathan Stewart - let's add in another in Bill Maher. Is this "venom and hate"?


HBO’s ‘Real Time’ host Bill Maher asked female Saudi Arabian filmmaker Haifaa al Mansour about the obstacles she encountered as a female filmmaker on Friday and spoke out against the nation’s governing religion of Islam.

Maher noted that some nations in the Middle East are becoming more conservative in regards to Islam after the Arab Spring, which, in his view, isn’t necessarily a good thing.

“The problem is, the Arab Spring kind of turned into the Arab Winter,” Maher said. “[A]nd Saudi Arabia, I mean, is the most conservative of all. As people criticize me for what I say about the Muslims. I love all people. And it’s funny because the people that come up to me privately say, ‘I’m with you about the Muslims.’ It’s the American Muslims. It’s the liberals here who don’t quite get it. We’re not criticizing people. We’re criticizing a belief system that turns people into something we wish they wouldn’t be.”

But he also observed that compared to other religions, Islam gets a pass on some of its practices.

“But, you know, Mecca is the capital of the country,” he continued. “And they routinely put people to death … the religious capital, but it’s equivalent to like the Vatican, right — with Catholicism. And, if at the Vatican, they were putting people to death for homosexuality and apostasy, and, you know, adultery — things like that, I feel that there would be a big outcry. I feel that liberals would be upset about that and it is the center of the religion. It’s a ‘mecca.’”

In case anyone is unaware of that game Jafar was seen playing. It involves jafar placing his Left thumb in his mouth, and
