[video=youtube;bOlpK6Yj5a4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOlpK6Yj5a4[/video] [QUOTE]A video has gone viral of a Lebanese television presenter who cut short an interview with a London-based Islamist scholar after he told her to “shut up”. Rima Karaki, a TV host and university professor, told the scholar: “In this studio, I run the show.” . During the discussion about reports of Christians joining Islamic State (Isis), which aired on Al-Jadeed TV on 2 March, Sheikh Hani Al-Siba’i, an Egyptian scholar, told Karaki: “Are you done? Shut up so I can talk.” The presenter responded by saying: “How can a respected sheikh like yourself tell a TV host to shut up?”[/QUOTE] [URL="http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/mar/09/lebanese-tv-presenter-cuts-short-interview-with-sexist-islamist-scholar"]Source[/URL]
Why did they cut him off at the "you are a woman who _____" part. Context is everything and by cutting off part of it, its impossible to know the exact context of what he was saying. see this post: [url]http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1455265&p=47301393&viewfull=1#post47301393[/url]

Context is everything and by cutting off part of it, its impossible to know the exact context of what he was saying.[/QUOTE] There's enough content before that to deduce his argument was solely that she was a woman and he didn't like being told what to do by one. What a twat.
watched this before, telling a TV host to shut up is stupid as fuck plus that guy is an idiot so lol
Good on her, he seemed like a dick sitting on his high horse IMO.
The guy had to flee from Egypt to London because he had some shady ties with a group suspected to be affiliated with Al-Qaeda. Man what a total d-bag.
I wouldn't say she absolutely destroyed him by any definition actually, he just sounds like a massive pig and she told him to shut up and have some respect...
Just so you know, Memri TV is an Israeli funded channel (no bias from me, I enjoy most of the content) that sometimes aims to paint Arabs and Muslims in a bad light. The translation in this video was shoddy and a lot of the things he said don't sound as bad in Arabic as they do in English. The woman did interrupt him. He also didn't say 'woman' at the end, he was cut off do we have no idea what the rest of his sentence was. I assume he was trying to say 'I am beneath being interviewed in such a manner'.
I like how her voice cut through everything and had a sense of authority, as opposed to his off-topic mumbling. [editline]11th March 2015[/editline] "Listen here u little shit"
The translation is retarded or it was on purpose. He never said "You are a woman". First she wanted to remind him of the time, then they get into an argument and then she tells him to continue and immiediately interrupts him again as soon he started to speak.
