    Medhi Hassan is my man. Outspoken, brilliant and funny. He carries the light of Islam the way this great religion was meant to be. I was born Christian and I will remain Christian, but I have the greatest respect for Islam the way it describes our God and the way to Him. No religion is as misunderstood and back stabbed in the western world as Islam and our media makes people believe that Islam is the way IS and Saudi Arabia portrait their religion. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Can't you use some logic and think why Al Jazeera is still againist the Egyptians revolution against Muslims brotherhood and calling our revolution a Coup but the numbers of voters to Al Sisi has driven the sectarian Turkey ruler Erdogan crazy....
      Only Terrorists condemn Saudi's, and colonialist are preparing the media for another made Iraq and Syria and another Libya which is Process.
      If you think that Al Jazeera is the voice for the MiddleEast is like thinking that Hamas is not a Israilian made authority... Dear Western you are brain washed....

    I think this type of a debate, would be central to changing the lives of millions of people if organised in countries that have devastating side effects from having toxic ties with nations like Saudi Arabia. Where cutting ties would mean putting an end to cultural influences from Saudi Arabia and thus would mean revising, rebuilding and maintaining authentic cultural and societal systems of those effected nations.

      Neo Ottomans dont want Arabs to rule Mecca and Medina and they dont want Jews to have Israel.
      Indian Muslims support Turkish Ottoman empire and want Jews and Arabs gone. This is why Indian Muslims didnt want Pakistan to be created because then Pakistan will have been in the 'British' camp.

If the royal family in the UK was an oppressive totalitarian regime routinely violating human rights against its own citizens, all thanks to a foreign country supplying them with weapons and military equipment... I wonder what he'd say if that country then decided that it was best for them to keep supplying the regime with weapons as to not spark a civil war? I'd bet my left nut that he'd take his chance with a civil war in a heartbeat.
      If the only reason why there's no civil war is because your supplies help keep the crushing foot of the regime over any form of opposition, you are not keeping the peace, you are feeding and enabling a monster.

STOP TALKING ABOUT SAUDIA ARABIA leave us alone. Also They are talking and expressing their opinion in a country in which they have not live. I am from Saudi Arabia, and it is the best government in the world in terms of consideration for its people. As for their war on Yemen, did you know that Yemen, which requested Saudi assistance in its war against the Houthis, and that Saudi Arabia received Yemeni refugees, did you know that Saudi Arabia took care of their treatment? And their studies, even at university, and that they have the same right as any Saudi, and did you know that Saudi Arabia is now undertaking a project to remove mines in Yemen at a cost of $40 million?

    And every country has its own way of governing itself. Saudi Arabia is an Islamic monarchy and it runs as per the shariah law. Definitely don’t need a 2 cent journalist telling the world what to do and talk about world politics. They could have invited someone more respectable and reputable than Mahdi to speak about these issues. It’s an absolute shame!

    The Saudi/British professor just talked about her academic career.

Syrians, Lebanese, Iraqis, Yemenites, Bahrainis, Kurds would not agree with Mehdi Hasan their. And Iran was responsible for a terroist attack in France against opposition politicians. That Mehdi Hasan doesn't like Israel was also very obvious.

    @msnbc why would you get rid of this guy? He is great. This is exactly what you need for the upcoming election year. I am a black woman from Cleveland Ohio and I need him to be on TV on MSNBC, which is my favorite news channel. Who else would really appreciate somebody like him I don’t know a whole lot about all the things that he talks about, but makes me smarter, I know that I have Palestinian acquaintances in my neighborhood because of where I live and they’re very very nice. And I don’t understand why I can’t be upset because they are getting hurt by whoever it is. No one should have the right to harm them or anyone else. This is the same reason why I support Ukraine. Why did you let him leave? I’m looking at you all with the side eye now.
