The following link is a link to a twitter post by @Saudiwoman. The link shows an image of a female news anchor in Saudi Arabia. The poster states "I've never seen a woman news anchor (and without a headscarf!) on the Saudi National TV channel before!"

This Iranian-American writer and scholar, Reza Aslan, points out how dumb the media has been covering stories about Islam, and how they are using bigotry to sum up all Muslim countries together.

Did you see the follow up on CNN? The anchor (I guess that's what you'd call him) said that Aslan's *tone* reinforced the idea that Muslims are hostile people. I also recommend watching Ben Affleck's visit to Maher's show if you haven't seen that too. Coincidentally, a Palestinian-American scholar lost his tenured job at University of Illinois again for the "uncivil tone" of his Twitter account.

Wow that's truly awful that'd they'd follow up like that but it's not surprising coming from a fear-mongering giant like CNN lol. It's sad that that's the only way they could wrap out how he basically schooled them in their knowledge of violence worldwide. And yes i've seen that interview too
