She really should have asked direct questions about what was written in the book, yet she didn't wonder why.
She did not read the book.
She did not know the definition of " zealot".
She attempted to increase ratings by inspiring outrage in her audience who have not read the book.
Krauthammer, George Will, Glenn Greenwald, Rachel Maddow, Paul Gigot, Paul Krugman...there are many. Do you understand the difference between news anchors and contributors?
Maddow got a scholarship to study politics - that's all she knows. I think she was a gardener when she met her girlfriend. I would not put her in the same league with those like Krauthammer, who is a Zionist, a smart man that I often disagree with. I would never call Rachel smart, she just does what she is paid to do. She's an entertainer like Jon Stewart, who is a lot sharper than she is.
OT: She graduated from Stanford in 1994 and won both the John Gardner Fellowship and Rhodes Scholarship.
She met her partner in 1999 when she was hired to do yard work during school break. She earned a PHD from Oxford in 2001.
He's a liar too, he's no scholar on the subject and never has been. Welcome to Islam 2013.
The Atlantic covered the interview and the subsequent claims that the author is not a scholar:
"What First Things fails to note is that the sociology degree is in the sociology of religion. Aslan may not have a graduate degree in history, but he does have a Ph.D. and an M.T.S. that bear on the topic at hand. He has also published extensively on religion. Arguing he's somehow not a scholar, as John S. Dickerson did, isn't really credible."
The sociology of Religion is about the beliefs, practices and organizational forms of religion ( history), using the tools and methods of the discipline of sociology.
I find it funny that the Lefties think what this guy wrote is all the truth and it's everyone else that is wrong. When Lefties are confronted with history from David Barton, they call him a quack, but someone with ISLAM as their background is no quack to them. When is everyone going to finally wake up and realize that the Left is completely aligned with Islam in what is called the Red/Green Alliance. They are working together to destroy, Capitalism, Christianity and AMERICA! It's so damn obvious, it's hysterical when they deny it.
What parts of the book do you disagree with and why?
Her point about a Democrat writing about Reagan is not about knowledge of the topic, but about the biased point of view of the writer towards the subject of the book. Being a hardcore Democratic Party member would put into question the writer's views about Reagan and the things he said and did while in office. While the factual information may be correct, the writer's words used could cast doubt on why something was done and whether it was right or wrong based upon his/her own social/political beliefs. Being a Muslim doesn't mean he doesn't know the subject, but as a muslim, Jesus wasn't the son of God the way Christianity teaches. To Islam, Jesus was a prophet and his followers who have not converted to Islam are infidels who must convert or die. So by what standard did he write the book, Jesus from the Islamic world view or from the Christianity view?
He wrote the book from an intellectual standard. Do you have difficulty realizing what an intellectual standard is?
"Reza Aslan, a religious scholar with a Ph.D. in the sociology of religions from the University of California and author of the new book, “Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth,” went on FoxNews.com’s online show Spirited Debate to promote his book only to be prodded about why a Muslim would write a historical book about Jesus."
Watch the video. It seemed like all the interviewer was concerned with is why a Muslim is interested in the founder of Christianity.
That is pretty funny! That would be like Obama trying to write a book about uniting a country and leading them out of economic disaster!! That would be completely idiotic LMAO.. That would be a real dozy to don't you think?
Yes, that is pretty funny! That would be like GWB trying to write a book about protecting a country from terrorist attacks and leading them out of economic disaster!! That would be completely idiotic LMAO.. That would be a real dozy to don't you think?
