    ....I was being purposefully ironic in light of opposing views being expressed on a similar format.

    What everyone really wants to know is, will One Direction release a statement about all of this?

    He was dead right on a good few things such as:

    - France freedom of expression fail when they banned the burka and its also illegal to deny the holocaust
    - we as Irish calling other people terrorists when we allow US planes landing in Shannon on their way to torturing and murdering innocent people

    Miriam O'Callaghan is an awful interviewer and always has been. She is too biased

    Disagree wholeheartedly on the bolded bit. I thought she was exceptional tonight, and is regularly very good!

    WIT lecturer put him in his place plenty of times

    She def knows her stuff

    At least Miriam and her challenged him as opposed to his interview on Newstalk

    Shane Coleman was painfully sensitive during that interview.
    Ehm, uh,.. stuttering at the start of every sentence in fear of saying something that could be misinterpreted.

    No - it's more like freedom of speech + a large dose of cop on.
    And rightly so.

    Not at all, it's still the same, in opposition to freedom of expression.

    Painfully sensitive is very nice way of saying it

    Reminded me of Tubridy interviewing Ronan Keating and not mentioning the affair

    Shane didn't have the guts to challenge him at all

    Was very impressed with WIT lecturer. She didn't take his guff

    I'm actually a big fan of Shane but he absolutely bottled it.

    And who is the judge of cop on? On boards, it's moderators as it is their site. But in society, in life?

    Was a little bit tabloid to wheel on such a hateful, hateful person like him at such volatile time.

    Normal Muslims all over the country must have been rocking back and forth with their heads in their hands.

    Bit unfair. He was essentially ranting in a paroxysm of hatred. How can you reason with that?

    What do you mean 'normal Muslims', this guy is the spokesperson for the Islamic cultural centre and a trinity professor. This is what normal Muslims believe.

    Ye i felt she was completely taken aback by him as if she never heard such bluntness before. Her voice was shaking as she closed the show.
    Vincent Browne would of handled it better i.e. told him what a fool he is.

    Say what you want about the man. He won the argument. I dont agree with him or his ideology, but he made a few very good points.

    If that's what a Trinity Professor thinks then I think we may need to re examine who the **** we are bringing into this country.

    Please don't. I am sufficiently terrified.


    When will people realise and understand that freedom of expression has never harmed anybody, nor ever will.
