I think this is the exact point Maher has been trying to make

Personally I have referred to many of American extremist christians and politicians as "America's Taliban"

and I thought for good reason

But now when I criticize Islam as being extremists, suddenly it is not politically correct among some liberals

seems you have proved the point

I heard a radio bit yesterday about military recruiting. Part of Shrub's 'no child left behind' was to allow military recruiters the same access to high schools as colleges and corporations. The military moved in, became volunteer coaches in various sports, and targeted poor minority students.
