Bill Maher Blasts Obama for Avoiding Phrase ‘Islamic Extremism': ‘Words Do Matter’ (Video)

TW: “I’ve been trying to convince liberals, some of them, that they need to go back to school on this issue of Islam and what it means to be a liberal,” HBO host says

During Friday’s episode of “Real Time,” host Bill Maher blasted President Barack Obama for avoiding the phrase “Islamic extremism.”

The president and the White House have been criticized in the past for refusing to label terrorist group ISIS as “Islamic extremists,” instead opting for “violent extremists,” a choice Maher called “crazy” on his HBO talk show. “Words do matter,” he said.

“I’m a proud liberal. I’ve been trying to convince liberals, some of them, that they need to go back to school on this issue of Islam and what it means to be a liberal,” Maher said in an interview with Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard. “And you, I think, are on the same page.”
