He did a smart thing. For him to say anything against Islam would be like painting a target on his family. He is a public figure, wouldn't be too hard for any whack job jihadist to find him. His main concern is the safety of his wife and kids. If you are feeling brave why don't you go on any radical Islamist website and start calling Mohamed a goatfucking pedophile. but be sure to leave your name and address and a photo of you doing a double biceps or preferably a most muscular. I predict someone will be at your door real soon. Think I'm kidding?
He is a libtard. Islam sucks, Ben swallows. As for your suggestion, I fear more of what the Ironmeister would do to my photo here but no, I don't think you are kidding and neither do I think you're being smart or cute with your supposition.
As a dear friend would say, don't go there.
And a smarter thing would have been for Ben not to appear on the show. But again, he's a libtard and eager to put his foot in his mouth. Or worse.
