It’s not our fault what came – we didn’t go into Egypt. We wound up with the Muslim Brotherhood.

[Glenn Greenwald]
Well we did – what do you mean? We’ve been going into Egypt – we were supporting and propping up Mubarak for 30 years even as we were cheering for the Tahrir Square demonstrators as if we were on their side. It was our government that kept Mubarak in power; just like we have done across the entire Muslim world.

[Bill Maher]
I’m just -

[Glenn Greenwald]
It’s amazing for you to say that look at all these Muslims, the minute you give them a little bit of freedom they go wild and start being all violent. How can you be a citizen of the United States, the country that has generated more violence and militarism in the world over the last five or six decades and say look at those people over there, they are incredibly violent. We play a significant role in what has been happening in the Middle East [Whoa] because we have been interfering and dominating that region in order to have access to their oil.

[Bill Maher]
I wasn’t talking about violence. I was taking about theocracy. That’s doesn’t happen here.

[Glenn Greenwald]
Oh, ok that doesn’t happen here but at the same time Iran isn’t invading lots of other countries and occupying them for a decade. Nor are fundamentalist Muslim countries like the United States is. These things are interlinked because we’re continuously interfering in that part of the world. And so to say –

[Bill Maher]
So it’s all our fault?

[Glenn Greenwald]
It’s not all our fault, but when you send your military for 6 straight decades into other countries to bomb them, kill their children and women and innocent men, prop up dictators.

[CROSSTALK]

[Glenn Greenwald]
Yeah, you take responsibility for your actions and say to the extent of that region –

[Bill Maher]
That religion goes back a 1,000 years before our revolution. So, I don’t think we can take all the blame.

[Glenn Greenwald]
I don’t think we should. I think we should take a lot of it. And there’s been lots of bodies and corpses that have piled up in the name of Christianity and Judaism as well.

[Bill Maher]
Not recently. That’s a false –

[Glenn Greenwald]
Have you heard about the occupation of the West Bank and Gaza for the last 50 years — motivated in part by extremists views by Judaism? Or the wars in Europe? Or generals in the United States saying we have to go invade and destroy Iraq, a country of 26 million people, because our God is bigger? Lots of religions, not just Islam, produce violence.

[Woman]
If I could just make one quick point about Egypt?

[Bill Maher]
Well, it’s that silly liberal view that all religions are alike because it makes you feel good.

[Glenn Greenwald]
No, it makes you feel good to say our side is better.

[Bill Maher]
No, it makes you feel good to put a crown on your head and say, ‘I’m a good person, how do I prove that?’

You get to ignore the responsibility that your own government has for the violence and instability in the world by saying, Look, it’s that primitive religion over there that’s to blame.
