Maher is one of the few standard bearers of the left to seriously address the issue of Muslim immigration. The Democratic Party and the old Republican establishment think they can continue to pretend the problem doesn’t exist. Washington Times:
Late-night talk show host Bill Maher on Friday said the idea that Syrian refugees can assimilate into Western countries and culture is a “fantasy.”
Citing polls that indicate many Muslims are in favor of Sharia law, the “Real Time” host said, “The idea that when Syrian refugees come to European countries or America that they are going to fit in is a fantasy,” Mediaite reported.
He argued that “insisting that people around the world who are not like us, are going to be like us” is a mistake in thinking, and he said people are starting to realize that now.
“We saw this, just recently, in Cologne, Germany. When all the Syrian refugees were going to Europe, I wasn’t for it, and I think a lot of people are coming around to that position,” Mr. Maher said.
