These conversations that we’re having aren’t really being had in any kind of legitimate way. Iranian-American academic Aslan, who released best-selling book Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth in 2013, was questioned about female genital mutilation in Muslim countries during the CNN interview. He added: “Not only does the Muslim world have something in common with Isis, it has too much in common with Isis.” On his chat show, Maher claimed that “vast numbers of Muslims around the world believe that humans deserve to die for merely holding a different idea, or drawing a cartoon, or writing a book, or eloping with the wrong person”. He was asked to appear on the news channel after comedian Bill Maher made controversial comments about Islam. Reza Aslan’s interview on CNN, in which he was asked ‘Does Islam promote violence?’, initially made headlines in September last year. An interview with an author who criticised negative stereotypes about Islam is being widely shared online again after the Paris attacks.
