Religious scholar Reza Aslan did his best to explain, based on his knowledge of religion, the bigoted mistakes the media makes when dealing with militant muslim groups like ISIS.

The debate started after Bill Maher's comments on his program recently about Islamic violence and oppression.  He blamed liberals for being silent about the treatment of women and gays in Muslim nations. Aslan called Maher's comments 'unsophisticated' and the CNN anchors couldn't seem to wrap their minds around what he was saying.

According to a U.S. State Department report (Huffington Post), groups like the Tamil Tigers have committed more suicide bombings than Al Qaeda, the Taliban or Hamas put together and they're a Hindu organization.  The Lord's Resistance Army is a Christian terrorist organization that has kidnapped, killed and displaced over 500,000 civilians in Uganda.  However, these groups don't get the headlines like the 'war on terror' which has prompted us to paint all Muslims as terrorists who wish to eliminate Christians and Jews from the face of the planet.

Watch the video and you be the judge.
