Bill Maher and Sam Harris Claim Islam Is the Problem and that many Muslims are in support of Islamic extremists but Ben Affleck disagrees and condemns Islamophobia saying you can’t judge other Muslims because of extremists actions . Bill Maher: The idea that someone should be killed if they leave the Islamic religion. Ben Affleck: You’re stereotyping. You’re taking these things and painting the whole religion with that. Ben Affleck: More than a billion people aren’t fanatical. They just want to go to school, eat some sandwiches, pray five times a day. Ben Affleck: The people who would actually believe and enact that you murder somebody if they leave Islam is not the majority of Muslims at all.

Matt Damon: "10 and 8... At 16 and 14 years old, we were going to New York together to audition for stuff..." "And here we are 40 years later, and it's like, we should make every single movie we can together." "It's not a friendship that could ever be replicated, just because we grew up together, which meant we were together all the time." "One of the great things about writing with him was always the fact that there was a deep and abiding love and respect underneath everything that was never in question." "It's very helpful when you're working creatively with someone because you're not worried about their feelings." "For me, it's like this, my closest friend for 40 years, 45 years. Who else would I want to hang out with and do this stuff?"

Matt Damon claims The Odyssey set was so intense, Ben Affleck was the only visitor in six months. Ben Affleck : “Christopher Nolan is a really serious guy I admire. He believes a film set is a place to work, so I was grateful he let me visit. My kids loved it.” Matt Damon: “you were the only guest in six months of shooting” Ben Affleck: “that's really sweet” Jimmy Fallon: “really?” Matt Damon: “The workload was incredible. It was such an ambitious project that the amount of work that needed to be done left no time for anything else. I’ve never worked on a movie that required every single person to give maximum effort.” “I told Ben here afterward that every location on that movie would have been the hardest location on any other movie I’d ever done, and every day of work was harder than any day on any other movie I’d ever worked on. Really.” Ben Affleck: “It reminds me of when we were kids, talking on the phone: ‘So, what’s going on today? You shooting your movie? What’s it like?’.”

“Ben Affleck Explodes After Sam Harris Calls Islam ‘The Mother Lode of Bad Ideas.’” Ben Affleck: So you're saying Islamophobia is not a real thing? That's bigotry. It's gross. It's racist. Sam Harris: I'm not denying that people are bigoted against Muslims. But we have to be able to criticize bad ideas. Islam, at the moment, is the mother lode of bad ideas. Ben Affleck: Jesus! That's just an ugly thing to say. Of course liberals want to criticize bad ideas, but you're painting an entire religion with one brush. Nicholas Kristof: The picture you're painting is incomplete. Plenty of fanatics are Muslim, but so are the people standing up to them. Ben Affleck: What about the more than a billion Muslims who aren't fanatical and don't do any of the things you're talking about? Bill Maher: Do you really believe those billion people don't hold any of these beliefs? Ben Affleck: They don't. Bill Maher: That's just not true, Ben. Bill Maher: The idea that someone should be killed for leaving Islam is that just a few bad apples? Ben Affleck: The people who actually believe and act that you should murder someone for leaving Islam are not the majority of Muslims at all.

Bill Maher leaves his guest visibly dumbfounded after yanking him out of his liberal bubble. Patton Oswalt couldn’t believe what he was hearing: “I’m sorry, I don’t remember [the left doing] that.” That’s when Bill Maher told him why his blind spot was so massive: “Because it doesn’t get into the Blue Sky Bubble.” OSWALT: “I hate to admit this: this country is not as mature as it thinks it is. We elected Obama, and clearly the country freaked out. And we’re still living in that freakout. We are not as progressed and evolved and intelligent as we think we are because we keep freaking out about this stuff.” MAHER: “The left freak out, too. The left freaked out about a lot of bullshit too.” OSWALT: “What did they freak out about?” MAHER: “Gender, race, parenthood, schools, homelessness, crime, the border, education. We stopped being a scientific people.” OSWALT: “But the left certainly stayed scientific.” MAHER: “No, they didn’t.” OSWALT: “Why not?” MAHER: “Because they think gender bullshit that they went way too far with… What makes us a great country is that we respect minorities. We don’t think they’re lesser just because they’re lesser in numbers. That’s not what we started to teach, which was that every baby is — I don’t know — let’s not even put it on the birth certificate. That’s what they wanted.” OSWALT: “Were we teaching that? Yes. When were we teaching that? Teaching it. It was a law here in California, see.” MAHER: “Yes.” OSWALT: “When were we teaching that?” MAHER: “Teaching it — it was a law here in California.” OSWALT: “To teach what?” MAHER: “Don’t put sex on the birth certificate. ‘We’ll see.’ Now, we’ve passed that period now.” OSWALT: “I’m sorry, I don’t remember that.” MAHER: “Because it doesn’t get in the Blue Sky bubble.”
