Rima Karaki is a Lebanese TV host who isn't afraid of a fight.more...
Things got heated Monday when Karaki was interviewing Hani Al-Seba'i about the phenomenon of Christians joining Islamic groups like ISIS. Al-Sebai is a Sunni scholar who fled to London after he was sentenced in an Egyptian court to 15 years in prison for being a part of the Egyptian Islamic Jihad. The United Nations considers the group to be an affiliate of al Qaeda.
But despite Al-Seba'i's extreme ties, Karaki didn't back down when he disrespected her on Al-Jadeed TV after she politely tried to redirect his historical tangent. Instead of taking his guff, she cut off his microphone when she decided she'd had enough.

Christians. That is utter bullshit. Any non-Muslim that has joined ISIS has first converted to Islam therefore they are Muslims.
