Maher, who has become known for controversial comments about terrorism and Islam—including his assertions on his former ABC show Politically Incorrect in the weeks after 9/11 that "we have been the cowards" and that America's actions precipitated the terrorists' response—took the time last night to double down on many of his causes over the course of the show.

In a later segment, Maher brought on his first guest journalist and author Asra Q. Nomani, who congratulated the host for having “dared to challenge liberals to stand by their values” and talk seriously about “Islamic extremists.” “How could [liberals] not stand up against Sharia Law, which is the law in so many Muslim countries, which is the law of oppression?” said Maher, who is often accused of Islamophobia for his statements linking the Muslim faith to extremism.

Watch Maher's interview with Nomani and the panel discussion below:

the conversion takes a long time.

Or he's so smart he knows exactly how to fake it!

5. Steele is an enigma

It was a good panel. Sometimes the chemistry is off but this one worked.
