He was being interrupted by a woman. And he is probably used to do hour long babbles without being countered.
WikiPedia: Hani al-SibaiHani al-Sibai (or al-Siba'i) (Arabic: هاني السباعي), also known as Hani Mohammed Yusuf al-Siba'i ( هاني محمد يوسف السباعي ) and Hani al-Said al-Siba'i Yusuf ( هاني السيد السباعي يوسف ) (b. 1961) is an Islamist Egyptian Sunni scholar and lawyer who lives in London with the status of a political refugee. As a lawyer in Egypt, he was a defense attorney.
It was his defence of Islamists, that got him into trouble with the Egyptian government. Egypt proved in court he was one of the fourteen members of the shura of Egyptian Islamic Jihad. Egyptian authorities convicted him in absentia in the case of the Returnees from Albania and sentenced him to 15 years imprisonment. In response, he fled to the United Kingdom where he was later arrested and accused of membership in al-Jihad.[1][2] However, he remains in London, England as efforts to deport him have failed.[3]
In September 2005, he was one of seven Egyptians whose names were added to the UN 1267 Committee's list of banned individuals.[4] A few days later he was added to the list of Specially Designated Nationals maintained by the US Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control, as a supporter of al-Qaeda or an allied group.[5] In March 2015, Hani Al-Seba'i was cut off from a live television interview with reporter Rima Karaki, after he told her to “shut up”, “It’s beneath me to be interviewed by you. You are a woman who ….”.[6] The interview went viral shortly after being released, and was viewed by more than 2 million viewers on Youtube within a week..[7][8]
The Telegraph in 2007: Muslim terror suspect allowed to stay in UKA Muslim terror suspect -living in the UK has publicly praised the insurgents who are battling British forces in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Hani al-Sibai claimed that Islamic fighters were humiliating Western forces, adding: "In the battlefield, they are the masters."
Al-Sibai has lived in Britain since 1994, after fleeing his homeland of Egypt where he has been convicted by a military court in his absence of plotting terrorist attacks. Tony Blair, the former Prime Minister, once described the failure to remove him from the country as "not good enough".
The 46-year-old radical was refused asylum nine years ago after British security chiefs concluded he was a senior member of the terrorist group Egyptian Islamic Jihad, an allegation he denies. He has, however, been granted temporary permission to live in the UK while officials consider his latest claim for asylum.
While he waits, al-Sibai continues to speak out against the West. In a debate on al-Jazeera television last month, he declared: "There are no real men except for the people of Islam. Look at the people who give reason to hold the head of Islam high.
"In politics they are the masters. In the battlefield they are the masters. They are the ones who rub in the mud the nose of the occupation forces in Afghanistan, in Iraq, in Palestine, throughout the world."
He also contrasted Islamic extremists with pro-Western secular leaders in the Middle East, who, he said, "should be placed in public squares so that people can hit them with their shoes and spit on them".
Al-Sibai's outburst on al-Jazeera, delivered in Arabic, was spotted and translated by Memri, a US-based translation institute. An Arabic speaker consulted by this newspaper confirmed the accuracy of the translation.
Challenged about his outburst, al-Sibai insisted he was speaking as a political analyst, rather than glorifying the insurgents. He claimed his words had been "mistranslated and taken out of context".
The comments will reignite concerns over Britain's policy of sheltering extremists. Al-Sibai lives with his wife and five children in a £600,000 four-bedroom housing association home in a fashionable area of Hammersmith, west London.
When he first claimed asylum in the UK in 1994, he told officials he had been tortured in Egypt because he had acted as a lawyer for Islamist groups and was linked to the opposition Muslim Brotherhood.
He was refused asylum on national security grounds, and was jailed in 1998 pending deportation. However, human rights laws make it impossible for suspects to be returned to countries where they might be tortured or killed, and Britain was unable to obtain from Egypt the necessary assurances as to al-Sibai's welfare.
Tony Blair intervened personally to try to deport him, scrawling on a letter warning that he might have to remain in the country: "I don't believe we shld (sic) be doing this. Speak to me." Nevertheless, al-Sibai was freed after spending nine months behind bars. A High Court judge has ruled he was unlawfully detained for nine days of this time.
In 1999 he was granted "exceptional leave" to remain in Britain for five years. Before the leave ran out in 2004 he lodged a fresh asylum claim, still being processed by the Home Office. He and his family have the same entitlements as British citizens to work or claim welfare benefits.
Al-Sibai runs the al-Maqreze Centre for Historical Studies, an Islamic website, from his home. His name is on a UN "watchlist" of terrorist suspects subject to travel restrictions and freezing of assets.
"I never celebrate the deaths of any British soldiers," he said. "I am a Middle Eastern political analyst, and in this programme I was highlighting the fact that it is the Islamists, and not Middle Eastern secularists, who are seen to be defending their lands from occupation. I do not glorify, incite, or call to terrorism in any way."
Under the Terrorism Act 2006, it is an offence to "glorify" terrorism in a way which incites attacks by others. However, police sources said al-Sibai's comments on al-Jazeera were probably within the law.
Khurshid Ahmed, chairman of the British Muslim Forum, said: "People who seek to undermine our liberal democracy and our traditions and values have no business being in this country."
David Davis, the shadow home secretary, said: "Clearly this man has deplorable views, and the sooner he is removed from Britain the better."
