The comedian and talk show host appeared Wednesday night on Jimmy Kimmel Live, where he addressed the murders of 12 people at the Paris offices of “Charlie Hebdo.” 
 
 “This has to stop, and unfortunately, a lot of the liberals, who are my tribe — I am a proud liberal,” Maher said. “I know most Muslim people would not have carried out an attack like this, but here’s the important point,” he said. “Hundreds of millions of them support an attack like this, they applaud an attack like this. What they say is, we don’t approve of violence, but you know what, when you make fun of the prophet, all bets are off.” 
 
 He said American liberals turned a blind eye to Muslim extremism. It’s not my fault that the part of the world that is most against liberal principles is the Muslim part of the world.” 
 
 Maher claimed the attacks were supported by mainstream Muslims throughout the world. It’s also mainstream that if you leave the religion, you get what’s coming to you—which is death. “I’m asking them to turn toward the truth as I have been for quite a while. “No, I’m not turning on them,” Maher said. That is what free speech is like.” 
 
 Watch Maher’s appearance posted online by Real Clear Politics: To be a liberal, you have to stand up for liberal principles. “They chop heads off in the square in Mecca,” Maher said. “Well, Mecca is their Vatican City. If they were chopping heads off gay people in Vatican City, wouldn’t there be a bigger outcry among liberals?” 
 
 When the show resumed after a commercial break, Maher’s bile had not run out, and he spent the next several minutes venting at Bill Cosby.
– Bill Maher opened his mouth on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night and added his ever-controversial two cents to the discussion of yesterday's deadly shooting at Charlie Hebdo. While "most Muslim people" wouldn't carry out such an attack, Maher said "hundreds of millions of them support an attack like this. They applaud an attack like this." Maher continued, per Raw Story, "When you make fun of the Prophet, all bets are off." The Daily Beast reports an apparently stunned audience was noticeably subdued throughout his rant, in which he said all religions are "stupid and dangerous." "It's not my fault that the part of the world that is most against liberal principles is the Muslim part of the world," he said. Asking the audience to "turn toward the truth," he proceeded to attack how Muslim countries treat women, gay people, and those who leave Islam. "They chop heads off in the square in Mecca. Well, Mecca is their Vatican City. If they were chopping the heads off of Catholic gay people, wouldn't there be a bigger outcry among liberals?" Maher said. America's politically correct liberals weren't free from his critique, either. The Daily Beast notes Maher said those who argue for sensitivity to Muslim sensibilities have transformed the US into "Pussy Nation."
