Female TV host shuts down scholar after he says it’s beneath him to be interviewed by a woman

London-based scholar feels inferior while being interviewed by a female journalist

Lebanese TV  host Rima Karaki strong-armed her guest on the show on Memri TV after he told her it was beneath him  to be interviewed a woman, Inquisitr reported. 

London-based Muslim scholar Hani Al Seba’I was invited on the show to discuss the increasing numbers of Christians joining ISIS but the discussion was diverted after he made sexist remarks about the host.

The discussion heated as Karaki tried to cut in while he was taking the show off-topic. Instead of answering directly, Hani asked the presenter to keep quiet so he could explain himself. "Shut up, so I can talk. I am talking so that people can understand…," he said.

Karaki replied saying, "how can a respected sheik like yourself can tell a TV show host to shut up?" That's when Hani lost it and hit back saying, "it’s beneath me to be interviewed by you. You are a woman."

This angered Karaki, who then took control of the show by getting Hani's transmission disconnected.
