Very awkward to watch. This woman is quite ignorant on the subject.
I think it's peculiar that he mentions that Jesus, peace be upon him, was crucified, even though the Qur'an states he wasn't.
I love how calm this man is by the way. "Ma'am...may I finish my sentence, please?".

I didn't think it peculiar at all. He's quite aware the Bible, the Torah and the Qur'an, despite the claims of the fervent followers of each would have us believe, are not three historically accurate books.

Yup...I think seconds in he realized he was dealing with a dullard looking to incite.

I find it peculiar how one can identify himself as a Muslim, who believes the Qur'an is the word of God, yet believe that it is somehow not correct.

I was wondering why any intelligent person would go on FOX News but I guess any publicity is good publicity when you're promoting a book.

He was on Bill Mauer, and I think he went on FOX just to make them look dumb.....

Depends on how one interprets it, doesn't it? Allegory versus literalism, I suppose.
I would certainly expect a level of intellectual intransigence as not peculiar would be the antithesis of impartial research. When it comes to any faith there needs be a required component of cognitive dissonance - if not, they'd be empirical.

I think he is able to separate his personal faith from what evidence is brought forth by scientifically researching historical records.
Sorry, but that b---- was so dumb.... All she was trying to do was promote the hate for the Muslim religion that is here in America..... This proves more then ever that Fox is the worst of the worst when it comes to news.... I wonder if there was anyone involved with that program that even knew who he was, or had read his book.....

Clearly she hadn't read the book, because all she could do was quote what other critics and scholars were saying.

And only those who defended resurrection as a matter of historical fact, as opposed to religious faith.
I guess if you identify as a muslim, you can't write about christianity. It just isn't done, kind of like a trekkie who speaks Klingon, writing a book about Tolkien Elvish.

That's like saying that if you're white you must suck at basketball.
