Hannity lures Muslim woman bullied at Benghazi panel to his show for more bullying

Sean Hannity asked a law student why she was more concerned about the status of American Muslims like herself than the victims of the Benghazi attacks.

Saba Ahmed, whose question during a conservative panel this week on Benghazi provoked a strong reaction from other attendees, appeared Thursday night on Hannity’s Fox News program alongside one of her strongest critics.

The Washington Post reported that conservatives in the crowd subjected Ahmed to “ugly taunting” after she asked why Muslims were not represented at the panel, but many have said video from that event does not show that level of mistreatment.

Brigitte Gabriel, president of ACT! for America, stood up following Ahmed’s comments and said hundreds of millions of Muslims were “dedicated to the destruction of Western civilization” and compared peaceful Muslims to Germans who allowed the Nazis to commit atrocities.

Hannity asked Ahmed why she chose to focus on the treatment of Muslims in America, rather than Benghazi.
