This hypocritical Hinduphobic White Collar Jihadi, Mehdi Hassan, who lectures non Islamic countries on democracy and human values was an ex-employee of Aljazeera, a mouth piece of the autocratic Qatar government, a country in which there are no religious minority rights, women's rights or LGBTQ rights Mehdi Hassan also spreads the propaganda of the 'peaceful' religion which spread 'peaceful' bomb blasts and other acts of violence all over the world including the most recent attack on Salman Rushdie in NewYork. Now he has penetrated the American media space to further spread 'peace' in the garb of a left of center journalist. He talks for minorities in America while being conspicuously silent about the millions being tortured or persecuted for blasphemy in the muslim world. And the irony is all this while, this political islamic pawn has not grown balls to say a word against China, which is peacefully torturing innocent Uighur muslims :D

What a fraud. - Trump is the only President not to start a false war to please the war-profiteers and deep state true fascists. - Trump is the President talking about closing the border from illegals stealing MILLIONS pf jobs from the American poor...and as the Black unemployment is almost DOUBLE the national average. - Trump helped to make America oil independent. Biden is now begging dictators for production he squashed in America. Is Hasan really this stupid???....YES he is. He's the same goof who said..."Non-Muslims live like animals" and "Mohammed flew to heaven on a winged horse".

Although Mehdi Hassan wasnt giving it his best he wasnt serious but he did do well over here. Good for him, Id much rather see him debate with seriousness
The problem here is that the 'opponents' of MH are often unclear or uncertain of their positions, hesitating and lacking conviction - especially the first two. MH is good at what he does, speaks very quickly (as usual) but this exercise doesn't prove you can 'win' every argument - just appear to do so temporarily. The test is fun to watch, but that is about as much as you can say.

I recently saw his session with Vivek Ramaswamy. It was very disgusting to watch media spokespersons like him trying with every ounce of their minds to extract a non-existent point of fault with possibly the most forward and very articulate republican, just for the sake of "winning the argument". Its even more cringey to see it done for the furthering of democratic agenda. Winning an argument is a fool's shortcut to quick public appeal and pseudo-respect which wanes as soon as any knowledgeable person takes them to the toaster. What should have been uplifted is the virtue of unbiased media and critical thinking and a teeny bit of common sense and sense of situation. It can go a long way to show the person's deep standing honesty and loyalty to his/her scruples.

I'm not sure how much of a free-speech fan I am. Quick answer I'm a fan of free speech. Docters are one example if they say I don't have cancer and the cancer kills me they should be held to account. if they say in there professional opinion I don't have cancer then that could be accurate and they may have used due diligence. Someone could also give their opinion. I'm a doctor you don't have cancer when their doctorate is in archeology . As far as I know I don't have cancer but this analogy makes my point well.
