Comedian and political commentator Bill Maher is sounding the alarm on leftists after protesters in the predominantly Muslim city of Dearborn, Michigan, broke out in chants of “death to America.”
The unabashed host of HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher” made the comments during a recent “Overtime” segment of his talk show. He called out U.S.-based leftists who broke out in anti-American chants on International Al-Quds Day, which came on April 5, the last Friday of Ramadan, a Muslim tradition that occurs on the ninth month of the Islamic calendar.

Al-Quds Day was — as Maher pointed out — established by former Iranian Ayatollah Khomeini. He founded the day in 1979 as a show of solidarity with Palestinians and as a reminder to the Islamic world of their duty to vehemently oppose Israel and the United States.
The “death to America” and “death to Israel” chants started during speech by anti-Israel activist Takek Bazzi, who was attacking the U.S. as “one of the rottenest countries that has ever existed on this Earth.”
