Reza Aslan is a fundamentally dishonest actor. He is an ideologue who is willing to deliberately lie to promulgate what he believes is the correct world view - an "ends justify the means" sort of philosophy. It's frankly pretty annoying that CNN gives him a platform so frequently.
EDIT: which isn't to say that Maher isn't facile and frequently obnoxious. But at least he actually believes what he says he believes.
