    Ok. Just trying to look at this from his point of view. The fox interviewer interviews the author but continues to interrupt answers. Isn't the important thing to get his point of views of the book and criticisms? I wanted to hear his response before getting more questions, which all seem to point at his validity to write his book. I'd imagine he would be defensive. She asked about a Muslim writing about Jesus. He said that he is educated in religions and has a phd and its his job to do this. Next question: <insert criticism about him as a Muslim writing about Jesus>. The anchor made up her mind to ignore the direction of the interview and just followed the script, which is ridiculous and quite offensive. I am speaking as a Christian.

    Let's change things a little and go away from religion. I am Asian and moved to the US at the age of 7. My view and historical studies are primarily on US history. I have taken course after course on US history and if I decided to write a book on US history, my background as an Asian should not be the primary influence and spotlighted on my book, correct? I am writing on what I've studied and acknowledged along the way. My views could be positive and negative. This is what the guy is trying to say. If she read the contents of the book, she would probably find many arguments that would back Muslim and Christian point of views. Instead. She chose to take blog criticisms and kept attacking his rights to write such a book. It's his job. Funny thing is this publicity probably just helps sell more copies

    He may have said phd a lot but I think he kept trying to justify that he's writing as a professional in religion, not as a Muslim point of view. Any respectful anchor should take that and get more intake on the book, instead of interrogating the author.

    **. Wrote this on my phone so excuse potential autocorrects
