- Bill Maher: Van Gogh, was assassinated right here? He was a Dutch Filmmaker, he made a ten-minute film, it was deeply offensive... to Muslims. Lots of people think that free speech goes right up to this point and then right up to when you're talking about religion, you're talking about the Prophet, all bets are off.
- Fatima Elatik: Freedom of speech. It goes both ways, freedom of speech.
- Bill Maher: It goes both ways but the people who actually usually do the killing...
- Fatima Elatik: Yeah
- Bill Maher: -for it wind up on the Muslim side. Do you think that says something about the different cultures?
- Fatima Elatik: I don't want to have this image of Muslims as someone if they don't like something they kill you, because it's not.

- Fatima Elatik: The way I perceive things in the Koran, it's not about killing infidels or homosexuals...
- Bill Maher: But you have read it there.
- Fatima Elatik: Of course I've read the Koran!
- Bill Maher: And you've read those passages. What did you think when you read them?
- Fatima Elatik: I explain them within the time they emerged.
- Bill Maher: But that's not how people read Holy Books. They don't go "Well that was good for then". People read Holy Books and say "This is the Word of God, it's forever!" That's how most people do it.
