On his show last night, Sean Hannity abruptly ended an interview with a Muslim guest who didn’t like the fact that he was asked if Hamas was a terrorist organization.
Hassan Shibly is the executive director of the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) in Florida. He appeared on Hannity to discuss the plight of Hoda Muthana, a college student who left the United States to join the Islamic State.
At the beginning of the interview, Shibly started off well by saying that Muthana is now affiliated with an “extremist violent gang of monsters.”
Hannity questioned Shibly about his group’s link to some shady characters. Shibly advised Hannity to stop changing the subject.
“I’ll ask any question I want, this is my show,” Hannity replied.
Eventually, it got to the point where Hannity asked, repeatedly, if Shibly believed that Hamas was a terrorist organization. After several dodges at the question, Shibly finally came around and eventually admitted that Hamas was correctly labeled as a group of terrorists.
However, he added this: “Shame on you for just asking every Muslim what he thinks of terrorist organizations.”
But Hannity didn’t ask every Muslim that question. He asked Shibly.
Then, the interview ended.
