Wasted though, he's on Fox News so it's not like anyone watching is actually paying attention and/or understands anything other than 'a muslim wrote a book about Jesus'.

Well, according to some historians in their early days Jesus was a Jew and Mohammed was a Christian.
If only you had put religion in the thread title, you would already be on page 3 and running to 20 before being closed.
Back to the original subject - she had lots of pre-prepared questions and nowhere to go when the basis behind them all got kicked away in the first minute!

What's so hot about objectivity?
