TV host Bill Maher has criticized Barack Obama for respecting Saudi Arabian medieval values while his latest visit to the country with wife for King Abdullah's funeral.

The 'Real Time' host wondered in his last show that why Obama showed that much of respect to a culture that didn't even shook hands with Michael Obama because she wasn't covered as per their country's requirements, Deadline.com reported.

The 59-year-old writer acclaimed the First Lady for her decision not to wear a headdress and with that stating that she had been trying to get there from long time but for a country having such medieval bullshit values.

Maher also commented on his criticisms he received for being intolerant and "Islamophobic" by stating that cultural relativism was completely worthless, as it was 21st century, and being friendly with women and greeting them attacks anyone's cultural values then it was completely not acceptable for him.
