Hasan, Mehdi

Islamist posing as a civilized person who reports "news"

Oct 29, 2024

Not to be confused with an other popular jihadist/islamist Hasan Piker, Mehdi Hasan is a Muslim who said a number of things about non-Muslims and homosexual people in general that would be considered ‘hate speech’ by leftists if he were not brown and Muslim. This can be seen in “NBC’s Mehdi Hasan calling non-Muslims animals and cattle, and comparing homosexuals to pedophiles” by on Rumble (no date). As Hasan himself admitted, he made

stupid offensive analogies to animals

made stupid, bigoted characterizations of non-Muslims and engaged in

homophobic discourse

Mehdi Hasan was a topic for public conversation for 5 minutes over the following exchange on TV that can be seen in this post [archive here]…

As Libby Emmons reported for the Post Millennial (October 29, 2024) in “Ryan Girdusky banned from CNN after joking he hopes Mehdi Hassan's 'beeper doesn’t go off' in response to suggestion Trump supporters are Nazis”,

Political commentator Ryan Girdusky has been banned from CNN after making a quip that he hoped fellow political commentator Mehdi Hasan's "beeper doesn't go off." The two were engaged in a heated discussion on NewsNight with Abby Phillip about Israel and the war in Gaza and the Middle East.

First Hasan intimated that Girdusky and those who back Israel are Nazis, saying, "If you don't want to be called Nazis, stop doing, stop saying—" He was drowned out by the others on the six-person panel, including Girdusky. Hasan has been outspoken in defense of Palestinians against Israel. Palestinian terror group Hamas launched an attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, and Israel has been fighting them ever since.

"You're called an antisemite more than anyone at this table," Girdusky said, breaking through the noise. Hasan agreed that was true and claimed that Girdusky had called him that as well.

Girdusky denied the allegation, saying, “No, not by me, I never called you an antisemite—"

"Well, I'm a supporter of the Palestinians, so I'm used to it," Hasan said.

"I hope your beeper doesn't go off," Girdusky said, attempting to continue on to make his point. But it was not to be, the panel devolved into accusations that Girdusky was saying Hasan should be killed. Earlier this fall, beepers carried by members of Lebanese terror group Hezbollah exploding, injuring many, killing a few, and making it clear who was a member of that group.

Emmons also reported,

"Oh, wow," said one panelist, apparently gob smacked by the remark. "You just said I should be killed, on live TV," Hasan said.

Girdusky apologized as Hasan accused him of being "a racist, violent person inciting violence" against him.

It is the opinion we, the editors of the CWE that this apology will be the end of his career. Had he stood firm, he would have had a chance of gaining an audience on the right. Emmons also reported,

The panel ganged up on Girdusky, accusing him of saying that Hasan should die. Everyone tried to gain the floor and Girdusky was instructed to "stop talking." Then they brought it back to making comparisons between Donald Trump and Hitler. Panelist Ashley Allison instructed Girdusky to apologize but said, "I don't accept that apology."

Also,

When the panel came back from a commercial break Girdusky was no longer on the panel. He was sent off at the request of the network. Hasan was also not there, though Philip said he left of his own accord. Phillip said she wanted Hasan to remain on the panel, "In fact we really wanted him to come back and finish the show."
