Tim defends the actress's tweets about Muslims in France and burkas, arguing it's about fundamentalism not racism, and pivots into a broader riff on American culture, pluralism, and immigration expectations.
- Gascón noticed a lot of people in France are wearing full burkas and isn't into it because she likes France to be French.
- The exact quote: 'How many times will history have to expel the Moors from Spain? We have not yet realized what this threat of civilization means.'
- Tim's position: if an actress does her job in a movie, it shouldn't matter what opinions she holds privately.
- Why is it shocking to Hollywood that a transwoman wouldn't automatically endorse Islam?
- Hollywood maintains a logically incoherent position: fundamentalist Islam opposes everything they believe, yet they insist everyone belongs in America anyway.
- Tim clarifies he has no interest in crusades against Islam, doesn't want American troops democratizing Muslim countries, and has Muslim friends across the spectrum.
- He doesn't want to live in a Muslim country, a Jewish country, or Israel—he prefers America with its separation of church and state.
- America has a culture that people need to agree upon to some degree, and that's the reality of the situation.
