As you can see in the video, Affleck reacted on Sam Harris speech about Islam. Yahoo UK added that the "Gone Girl" actor strongly disagree with Maher's opinions and branded the host, alongside Harris as "gross and racist".
In the same argument, the host insisted "he wasn't a bigot and counted himself as a "liberal".
Maher also said:
"I think Sam [Harris] and I and Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Salman Rushdie and everyone who is basically making the same point, I think we all feel frustrated because I think we feel like the people who are arguing with us are not listening."
"We're liberals! We're liberals. We're not crazy tea-baggers, y'know, and so it's kind of hard to be making this case - based on facts, based on polling, I think based on what everybody really knows... I mean, do the people arguing with us, would they really open a lesbian art gallery in Ramallah? [Laughs] Or Karachi? Or Cairo? I don't know if they would back up what they're saying with actions."
"We are not bigoted people. On the contrary, we're trying to stand up for the principles of liberalism! And so, y'know, I think we're just saying we need to identify illiberalism wherever we find it in the world, and not forgive it because it comes from [a group] people perceive as a minority."
