Sexist Islamist scholar told a TV host 'it's beneath me to be interviewed by you' during live interview

Rima Karaki (left) was conducting an interview with London-Based Islamist Hani Al-Seba'i for Lebanon's Al Jadeed discussing ISIS when the sexist comments were made. In the footage, Karaki urges Sheik Al-Seba'i to get back to the present, and asks him another question, a request which sparks a heated argument.

Al-Seba'i says: 'Are you done? Shut up so I can talk. It's beneath me to be interviewed by you. You are a woman who...' With her palm facing the Sheikh, Karaki then delivers the ultimate end to the conversation. 'How can a respected Sheik like yourself tell a TV host to shut up?' she asks. 'Either there is mutual respect or the conversation is over.'
