A female Lebanese TV host has won wide-spread support after standing her ground against an Islamist scholar following his sexist comments live on air.
Rima Karaki was conducting an interview with London-based Islamist Hani Al-Seba'i for Lebanon's Al Jadeed on the weekend of International Women’s Day, discussing reports of Christians joining Islamic groups such as ISIS in the Middle East when the scholar went off [SIZE="5"]on her.
He then raises his voice, adding: 'I will not answer the way you like, because I’m here to serve the idea in which I believe.'
Karaki politely explains that they have limited time on the show, but Al-Seba'i refuses to listen, telling the TV host he would not be interrupted and that he will answer as he pleases.
