Bill Maher has always been a vocal critic of Islam, even at times making impolitic statements about the religion. On last night's episode of "Real Time," however, the HBO host took those sentiments a step further.

Maher was talking with Democratic Congressman Keith Ellison, who gained widespread attention for his emotional testimony at Thursday's congressional hearings on Islamic radicalization.
