“Religious people, and that’s most of America, care a lot more about dead bodies,” he said. “When you’re not a religious person like me, a dead body is just a fucking body that’s dead and it just doesn’t bother me that much what we do to them.”

Finally reaching his politically incorrect point, Maher said, “If they were real Taliban, if they were people who burn down girls’ schools you know, and do honor rapes, threw acid in people’s faces, I’m not that upset about pissing on them, dead or alive.”
