He doesn't realize that Muslim don't have a will of their own. They have given their will to Allah. That is what Muslim means; one who submits his will to Allah's will. They are the literal 'Slaves of Allah' with absolutely no will of their own.
If Allah says to go on killing sprees (which he does many times in the Quran) then it is the will of Allah and they do it. If they truly believe in Islam there is no choice. They have to kill the Kuffar. It is a mind control system that leaves a Muslim no choice but to kill for Allah or spend an eternity being tortured in hell. That is how they convince suicide bombers to kill themselves.

What he is getting at here is the soft bigotry of low expectations. He has a brilliant point, as do you. This is not a totally black and white issue, mind you.

Well that was interesting.

Klavan is a satirist; he definitely is an acquired taste. Now go on, acquire some of that taste! (binge watch his videos!).

I'd rather be a racist than dead. Just sayin.

It is not even racism. It is xenophobic at most.

Brilliant satire.

It goes over wayyyyy too many heads. He is a tad too punchy and calm about really serious issues.

As a comic he almost has to be, if he's doing a dead pan style humor. Doing an angry routine is not easy while still coming across as comical and not "just angry." George Carlin and Lewis Black come to mind here. My point is, angry comedy is damn hard.
