Hani Al-Siba’i takes for granted the devaluation of women in the Islamic culture, and chooses to berate Rima Karaki for her insolence rather than take note of the fact that time is short and make his point. It’s unfortunate, because in the first part of the interview he is talking about Christians joining Muslim groups, and adduces the example of Christians in the Sixties joining Leftist “Palestinian” groups. Those were, of course, not Islamic groups, but secular political groups made up mostly of Muslims. Al-Siba’i seems to be saying that they were really fronts for an Islamic agenda — and indeed, the Leftist “Palestinian” groups such as the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine have always been useful servants of the jihadis.
“Lebanese TV Host Rima Karaki Cuts Short London-Based Islamist’s Interview following Insolent Remarks,” MEMRI, March 2, 2015:
On March 2, 2015 on Lebanon’s Al-Jadeed/New TV, program host Rima Karaki abruptly ended an interview with Islamist Hani Al-Siba’i, who was speaking from London, after he refused to answer her questions. After stating “I will not answer the way you like, because I’m here to serve the idea in which I believe,” he went on to tell her to “shut up” and added, “It’s beneath me to be interviewed by you. You are a woman…”
The Egyptian London-based Islamist Al-Siba’i, who directs the London-based Al Maqrizi Center, has been in the UK since 1994; he fled Egypt after being convicted of plotting terror attacks.
Following is an excerpt from the interview:
Al-Siba’i: “What kind of behavior is this?!”
Karaki: “Please don’t get all worked up. We respect you and know you want to give a complete answer. Unfortunately, we have limited time –”
Al-Sibai: “I agreed with Mr. Ibrahim Harbi –”
Karaki: “Fine, go on. They’ve given us more time.”
Al-Siba’i: “I agreed with him that you wouldn’t cut me off.”
Karaki: “Enough with that, go on –”
Al-Siba’i: “You think you’re so high and mighty?!”
Karaki: “Go on, but do not call me names.”
Al-Siba’i: “I am serving the idea in which I believe.”
Karaki: “In this studio, I run the show. For your own benefit, I’m telling you that we are running out of time. If you are going to elaborate so much, we won’t have time for other questions. If we start discussing history, we won’t have enough time for our topic. Now, it’s up to you. If we have time, you will answer all the questions, but I will be the one to decide.”
Al-Siba’i: “You can decide as much as you like, but I will do whatever I want.”
Karaki: “Okay, let us hear your answer. Let’s get back to the topic rather than waste time arguing.”
Al-Siba’i: “Are you done? Shut up so I can talk. I am talking so that people can understand – ”
Karaki: “How can a respected sheikh like yourself tell a TV host to shut up?!”
Al-Siba’i: “I am respected whether you like it or not –” Karaki: “Enough. Let’s wrap this up.”
Al-Siba’i: “It’s beneath me to be interviewed by you. You are a woman who – ”
Karaki: “Just one second. Either there is mutual respect, or the conversation is over.”
Oliver says
This entire thing makes–to me, at least-no sense. He KNEW the interviewer was to be a woman. (If he did not, then their is something wrong, here).
So, why did he agree to the interview in the first place?
And, from the picture, she is wearing the Muslim headgear. So, what was his probelm?
Repeating myself, he knew it would be a woman interviewing him.
My next question-if wanted/charged with terrorist activities in Egypt, why the hell did Britain admit him?
jimmy says
yes Oliver he knew it would be a woman interviewing him but remember when he said “I agreed with him “Mr Ibrahim” that you wouldn’t cut me off” so obviously he’s made some agreement that she wouldn’t embarrass him on tv but she didn’t have to he embarrasses himself lol. and her being a Muslim don’t matter they view themselves above all women in their sick sadistic minds which is why it boggles my mind when women willfully join this sick religion who’s men like Muhammad thinks that if a woman was to lick the oozing puss out of her man’s wounds she would still never have lived up to her obligations towards him and also that if she gets raped it’s all her fault and she will receive 200 lashes and in most cases death an I could go on an on smh but not just women I don’t see how anybody could wanna join this death cult that inflicts harm on anything it touches certainly no sane person would willfully join it. and for your 3rd question your guess is as good as mine.
Mitch Thundercok says
Comprehension is lost. She pushed his buttons and is a woman. Yeesh.
He likely agreed to the interview, with disgust, to make his voice heard. But once she got uppity, the truth comes out.
Hmm, how do you think he would respond to an LGBT dude vs. an LGBT babe? I think I just confused myself.
somehistory says
So *extradite* his *superior ego* right back to Egypt so he can explain to them his *Idea in which he believes.*
She gave him too much time, imo.
tilda says
The great obscenity is that the UK has tried to eject him, and all attempts have failed.
Legion says
Either a nation — a people — controls it’s land or it doesn’t. England?
Andrew GB says
Unfortunately we are ruled by an out of touch elite who kowtow to Europe.
Arseholes like George Galloway and Harriet (dont mention PIE) Harman, B Liar etc have forbidden people to complain about the cultural clash between being British and islam. We the hoi polloi dont like it but are oppressed by legislation.
At the end of the day, i make a fuss about muslims raping and pillaging the country I might get arrested. Then what do i do for work and how do i pay my bills? On second thoughts, take an Islamic approach and let the country keep me!
blake says
He didn’t say because she was a woman, he sais “you are a woman who..”. I don’t doubt that this animal hates women, it’s just not what he said. He’s from London of all places, a haven for Islamism.
Ayatrollah says
The pious brother is not used to women getting in his face like that. Once shariah is the law and all religion for Allah, this women will understand her rights.
Kathy Brown, Esq. says
She sure will. She’ll understand she has no rights.
The prophet (pee be upon him) pedophile/rapist/murderer is the very model of a modern killing islamist (apologies to Gilbert and Sullivan). Like this filthy muslim slug. I can smell him from here.
sara says
You are not serious!!!!! what type of trash talk is this??? you came out of a woman you idiot! you uncivilized barbarian
Kathy Brown, Esq. says
Oh, he’s serious all right Sara. And he’s definitely an ‘uncivilized barbarian’, aka, a muslim.
African Christian says
@Oliver he knew he was going to be interviewed by a woman, what he didn’t like is that the woman arguing with him and cutting him off. he actually tried to make sure that doesn’t happen.
“I agreed with Mr. Ibrahim Harbi –” “I agreed with him that you wouldn’t cut me off.”

“a string of faux pearls”

Some talk shows are based on a verbal combative model where everyone yells and talk over each other,,,Hannity show is like that…If a guest on my show told me to shut up I would say the same thing the woman did…’In this studio, I run the show’…But I would have added…’Now get out’…
Oliver says
I thought only Jerry Springer and his show did things like that.
( I do not watch tv anymore).

International Women’s Day here in Canada. Fuck those guys. All of them.

Legion,
I disagree- THEY 9 THE MUZZIE GUYS) MIGHT LIKE BEING FUCKED up the butt.
I would prefer that they be given (unless they have a heart condition-) 2 Nitro pills.
just to be sure.
(If one does not have a heart condition, nitro changes the heart beat rate, and dissolves in the blood stream; but causes a fatal heart attack). (So I was told a few times by doctors)
Bezelel says
Why would he agree to do an interview at all? That’s the problem with being a supremacist, there’s always people who won’t cooperate. She handled it well and he didn’t make any point except that he’s an —hole.

BIBLE & WOMEN
Old Testament:
The pain of a woman during childbirth is God’s curse because of Eve’s transgression (Genesis 3:16).
A man can sell his daughter and she must not go free as male slaves do (Exodus 21:7)
A woman who saves her husband from an attacker, but touches the private parts of the attacker, must be shown no pity and have her hand amputated (Deuteronomy 25:12).
The daughter must receive inheritance if there is no son (Numbers 27:8)
New Testament:
1. Women must never teach or have authority over a man, because according to the Bible, Eve sinned first and not Adam (1 Timothy 2:9-14)
2. Wives must obey their husbands, like they obey God (Ephesians 5:22, Colossians 3:18)
3. Women are to be silent in church as it is forbidden for them to speak in Church and they must be obedient. If they had a question they must ask their husbands because it is a shame for women to speak in Church (1 Corinthians 14:34-35)
4. Men are the head of women just as Christ is the head of man (1 Corinthians 11:3)
5. Women must cover their heads in prayers and if they do not they must shave their heads (1 Corinthians 11:5-6)
Men are the image and glory of God, while women are the glory of man (1 Corinthians 11:7)
QURAN & WOMEN
Men and women are equal:
4: 1 O mankind! Be dutiful to your Lord, Who created you from a single person (Adam), and from him (Adam) He created his wife [Hawwa (Eve)], and from them both He created many men and women and fear Allah through Whom you demand your mutual (rights), and (do not cut the relations of) the wombs (kinship). Surely, Allah is Ever an All Watcher over you.
9: 72. Allah has promised to the believers -men and women, – Gardens under which rivers flow to dwell therein forever, and beautiful mansions in Gardens of ‘Adn (Eden Paradise). But the greatest bliss is the Good Pleasure of Allah. That is the supreme success.
Women honored:
16: 58. And when the news of (the birth of) a female (child) is brought to any of them, his face becomes dark, and he is filled with inward grief!
16:59. He hides himself from the people because of the evil of that whereof he has been informed. Shall he keep her with dishonor or bury her in the earth? Certainly, evil is their decision.
A woman is a guardian of her husband’s house and children
Bukhari :: Book 3 :: Volume 46 :: Hadith 730, 733
Muslim :: Book 8 : Hadith 3472 , 3471
Jae M says
The men of Islam seem to extremely fearful of women and thus try to absolutely control and dominate them in every way. They blame women for their own lack of self control. For instance, they insist women cover themselves up because they cannot control their lust. They blame and punish rape victims and let the criminals that rape go free (even when the woman was covered). They therefore, condemn themselves as weak willed, without any control of their own bodies, as if they were animals. They shout down any intelligent woman because they are insecure and doubt their own intelligence. That is what I see in these men. They have no respect and do not honor their women.
Galations 3:28
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
1 Corinthians 11:11
Nevertheless, in the Lord woman is not independent of man nor man of woman;
Zia'u'llah says
Unfortunately Islam was corrupted by men’s greed, the minute their prophet died. Same can be said for other belief systems, but at some point they seemingly matured and looked past their singular view of the world.
Referring to words written in a book has no meaning, when a majority of the followers ignore them, only to pick & choose parts they like.
Furthermore, I don’t agree with the notion of all violence in Islam being perpetrated by a Muslin minority. The majority seem content enough to stay silent with violent actions, therefore they are complicit.
The only branch of Islam I’d consider sane is Sufism. The rest are all throwbacks to the 7th century, which should not be allowed to take-hold in western countries.

I don’t feel the need to defend any collection of religious texts, but if I did, I would start by reading the actual passages rather than your interpretation/summary, You have inferred these are direct quotes from the Bible, but they are not.
I would say I have respect for Christians because the Church has reformed itself to be a largely benign force across the world now-a-days, focused on helping others. Regardless of my views, I don’t have to fear the Church.
I’m all for highlighting the hypocrisy, cruelty, perversion and intolerance in organized religions.
But it’s clear to see you have a very different agenda.
BC says
She flatters him by calling him a sheik and a respected one at that. Respected by whom. These guys are a joke strutting around in the silk robes. Before the Western oil men developed their oil they were camel drivers. This fellow would not last a day in the desert
Jimbo says
Sure Shabeer, women are totally equal in Islam !! you know it, we all know it. you don’t have to come here and try to convince us !! its so true. so know it here. Robert preaches this all tyhe time: how equal women are in islam !!!>>!!@@!
they have to wear that good ole hijab or burka when men dont. thats equal. they are worth half or a quarter of men in inheritance issues/ fair. women are responsible when they are raped in islamic countries, and only, repeat ONLY need 4 MALE witnesses ( not females you know ,even tho they are equal you know ??) if the ‘rapist’ is to be convicted, men can hit their wives all the the sanctity of the imams, have the clits cut off so they cant enjoy sex, cant walk outside by themselves unchaperoned…. etc etc. but that all makes them so equal with those lovely fair and respectful muslim men.
thanks Shabeer for your enlightening of us about the equality of women under islam. we all have lots to learn from a wise scholar such as yourself. hehe.
love to meet you some day. you would be a great person to have as a friend. and we could meet and discuss the virtues of all religions hey. not like islam is supremacist or anything… b/c of course islam means peace !! and women are totally equal under islam. woohoo.
El says
Where is Germaine Greer and the other so-called ‘Western feminsits’?? Where are they hiding? Hypocrites the lot of them. It looks like Western feminism has been conquered by islamism and the burqa.

voegelinian
I don’t see any useful purpose in persisting in attacking Muslims who poke their finger in the eye of Islam’s wackiest wackos. She is doing everyone a favor by putting Islam on display, front and center. Some of the most effective of anti-jihad were once Muslims. By suggesting that all Muslims are one uniform collective ummahtude, you enable the supposed victimhood of all Muslims who wish to claim that we are all just bigoted against them and that it is not about what Muslim actually do but about us and our prejudicial behavior.

Rima Karaki -you have just been shown to be nothing more than a worthless piece of shit by the tenets of Islam. If you had half a brain, you would take off you filthy slave rag coverings and get a life. Stupid Muslima, what is it going to take to make you see the filth of Islam for what it is ????
Kathy Brown, Esq. says
That’s true too Charli. Why these women who could don’t flee these hell-holes of their birth, is beyond me. Of course: They do have family and all. Who’d doubtless immediately be killed (and not humanely).
Every single one of them who even intimates they’re jihadist, needs to be killed, immediately. By our glorious military. With ROEs of THEIR choice, not Mobama’s.

Dr Phillip Chalmers says
On the Guardian Australia site, an Arabic speaker is making gains by saying the MEMRI supplied translation of his cut off remark was “You are a human who …” rather than “You are a woman who …”
Can you clarify and maybe point out where the actual words of the man betrayed male superiority or female inferiority?
Kathy Brown, Esq. says
‘Clarify’ Dr. C? You’re kidding, right?
How about:
1. ‘Are you done?’,
2. ‘Shut up so I can talk’,
2. ‘It’s beneath me to be interviewed by you’,
3. ‘Stop being so high and mighty!’
Does that ‘clarify’ this toad’s treatment of this lady-not ‘woman’, a concept inconceivable to muslims-as ‘inferior’?
You are an apologist for this cretin.
Additionally, tone and body language are all included in ‘language’ Sir. This creature’s was demeaning and opprobrious in the extreme.
Now isn’t it time for YOU to beat your wife? Molest your 8 yr. old child (boy or girl)? Kill your sister in a so-called ‘honor killing’?
Lesley says
I think I’m going to stop calling Islam by it’s Arabic name and start referring to it as the English translation of the word which is, ‘submission’.
The ideology of Submission will continue to perpetuate the ugliness that the Imam showed here and will encourage the further destruction of women’s and human rights around the world until we outlaw it.
I think if westerners start calling Islam, ‘submission’, then our citizens who think they’re so progressive because they tolerate this ideology of hatred will understand the big picture sooner.
Kathy Brown, Esq. says
Phil, you’re welcome. And indeed the whole thing is nothing but sickening, revolting, nauseating, etc.
Shake-Beer doesn’t need to have been dropped on his head tho’, you know? I mean-the shock of watching these people-all of them, not just the ‘radicals’-brings home how depraved the whole muslim ‘culture’ is from the jump. I mean, women who are mutilated and treated like garbage from birth won’t be loving…well…anything. Not wives. Certainly not ‘mothers’. And little boys who love their pets, then are forced to torture them to death (the EID festival) as the only way to become men, will be the sadistic brutes we everyday observe.
Unfortunately they can’t be salvaged. They all have to be killed. It’s us (everybody but ISIS) v. them. Alas!
