Good interview.

Why doesn’t she put a damn hairpin on that annoying bit of hair that keeps flopping over her left eye? It was annoying me more than her I think.
Anyway the interview is basically good but her pronunciation and stammering or is it the repetitious mannerisms without getting to the point that’s annoying or is it just that her English is difficult to understand but I frequently struggled to understand what the f**k she was talking about.

Quite true. Anyway thankful to her for having the interview.

I was initially under the impression that she’s from NZ, until she mentioned towards the end being from England
As for her hair, yeah, she could use a couple of hairclips and keep her hair in place

We face the horrors of Jihad here everyday, but you have a problem with an Anti-Jihadist *not wearing a hairpin*? Priorities, please.

Don’t fret gravenimage I’ve still got my priorities firmly in place but I do question if that women had similar priorities.
Robert was at his usual unassailable best but I would like to know what it was she didn’t agree with, she did say she didn’t agree with everything that Robert said without illuminating us on what that might be; I suppose that was a blessing in disguise because her delivery was so painful to listen too.

OK, Greg.
Infidelsays
11:00 was a fantastic question: if they were just putting stuff together from real texts like Jewish, Christian, Zoroastrian and other texts, couldn’t they have put together something nice?
12:30 leads to a fascinating possibility that the Meccan pagans who Mohammed was supposed to have fought and islamized were actually the pre-Abbasid Arabs who had to be converted to the newly minted religion of the Abbasids, and that their customs and practices were not obliterated in the 600s
18:00 The discussion on Uthman and Abd-el Maliq seems to suggest that this concoction of islam began more during the Umayyad, rather than the Abbasid era. However, it definitely didn’t happen during the Rashidun caliphate. It does however beg one question: if it was invented by sunnis who rejected Ali’s leadership of the caliphate, why do shi’a muslims buy into that version of the Qur’an, rather than rolling their own? Particularly since the Umayyads, who were followers of Uthman, were the ones who overthrew Ali? In this context, the claims of Waseem Rizvi, the Indian shi’a leader who denounced certain verses as being invented by Ali’s usurpers, seems to gather more weight
21:00 The goats ate all the real peaceful verses, which is why the halal method was invented to slaughter them, and that practice spread to other animals ?
22:30 Isn’t Mohammed buried at Medina, rather than Mecca?
24:00 Also, if anyone was doing a business in Syria, why would they return to Mecca, as opposed to try and establish their own cult right there in Syria? The only route Mecca would be on would be if there was trade going on b/w Damascus and Shiba (Yemen)
34:00 The purpose of forcing people to outwardly convert to islam is simple: to convey the impression that muslims are growing in number. It’s the same reason behind the adhaan – to make it seem like an entire locality is muslim, so that the call to prayer is broadcast live, disrupting muslims and non-muslims alike. It’s not to actually convince people about the greatness of the allah-muhammad cult, since that is practically unenforcable, since nobody knows what’s in everyone’s minds
35:00 That’s the problem w/ assuming that any other religion, even Judaism, is like Christianity. Every religion is different and unique. Like while Buddha is considered the founder of Buddhism, he’s not worshiped as a God (except for those Indian Vaishnavs who consider him the 9th incarnation of Vishnu), and Buddhism is essentially an atheistic religion (which is one of its appeals to a lot of Western atheists). It’s therefore a mistake to project any religion’s attributes to other religions
37:00 Great question: what will happen when the Woke cult meets shariah?
47:30 Her reaction to ‘Reliance of the Traveller’ was hilarious!
My only suggestion for Kay: she should give more time to her questioners
