micdotcom:Don Lemon hits a disturbing new low in interview with Muslim human rights lawyerWhen you’re interviewing a prominent Muslim American human rights lawyer in the wake of a terror attack, plenty of great questions spring to mind. “Do you support ISIS?” is not one of them. Yet that’s what CNN’s Don Lemon asked Arsalan Iftikhar, an attorney, activist and senior editor of the Islamic Monthly. Lemon prefaced the question by citing a Newsweek poll from August that found 16% of French respondents supported the Islamic State. (The poll was conducted before any videos of the group beheading prisoners were released.) Iftikhar, who had been talking at length about how Muslims are held to a double standard in always having to refute horrific acts, was taken aback. -- source link
