You've obviously picked up many of their views from the above.
If you have problems with generalization, you really ought to puke at those two and stop with it yourself.
What a fucking waste of time. And yes, this sort of intellectually lazy bigotry (aka, "Economic Distress") is what Trump is all about.

Maher and Harris said all religions are nonsense. The sole unique thing they said about Islam is that it is the religion causing the most violence of all religions today. They have repeatedly said that, if they were writing 200 years ago, they would say the same thing about Christianity.
Christianity was the most violent religion of the period from 1400 to the 20th century. Do you have a problem with me saying that? Does that make me bigoted toward Christians?
Islam has been the religion responsible for the most violence of any religion from 1980 to present. That is simply a fact.
If you wish to debate how US foreign policy was involved in that, we can have that discussion. But that's a different issue.
It's not a waste of time at all. You are generalizing, and it is dangerous. And yes, Trumpian.
