* The Islamist "far-left" host has criticized Israel's war on Hamas and his once (at the age of 30) compared non-Muslims to 'animals' and homosexuals to 'pedophiles' - resurfaced. <small>At the time of his "apology" which came a decade later, he still has been 'regularly speak on platforms alongside Islamist clerics who incite hatred against minorities.'<ref>[https://www.meforum.org/61616/nbc-hires-islamist-linked-journalist NBC Hires Islamist-Linked Journalist with a History of Hate], ''Middle East Forum'', Oct 5, 2020.<blockquote><small>Hasan has also appeared to despair over Muslims "losing battles" against the Jews, whom, he warned, had "out-thought" Muslims.
Welcomingly, in 2019, Hasan apologized his past comments. Although he must have been around 30 years old when he expressed his hatred for non-Muslims, atheists and homosexuals, he attributed his bile to the folly of youth.
He perhaps elicits less sympathy upon accompanying his apology with a complaint that his previous hatreds have been used to "smear" him as an "extremist." Well, indeed.
And yet Hasan's behavior since his "apology" does not fit the pattern of a man who has left his extremism behind. He continues to regularly speak on platforms alongside Islamist clerics who incite hatred against minorities.
Hasan's behavior does not fit the pattern of a man who has left his extremism behind.
Last November, for example, Hasan was happy to share a stage with Dawud Walid, who preaches about the evils[sic] of Jews. A few months earlier, Hasan moderated a debate at a conference with Hatem Bazian, who has complained about Jews in "control" of universities and was censured by his employer for tweeting anti-Semitic cartoons.
The conference, hosted by the Islamic Society of North America, also featured dozens of the most extreme clerics in America, such as Hussain Kamani, who claims that Muslim men may fulfil any sexual desires "with a female slave that belongs to him." When Muslim husbands are learning to "train their wives," beating them, Kamani concedes, should only be a "last measure."
Hasan's regular appearances at Islamist events are cause for concern.
Is Hasan not merely a Muslim journalist, but an Islamist activist? Certainly, his speeches in the past suggest some Islamist leanings. And his regular appearances at Islamist events, as well as his long-standing employment by Al Jazeera, the key media arm of the despotic, terror-financing Qatari regime, are cause for concern.
