Fox News amazed that a Bible Scholar,Who is a Muslim Wrote about Jesus.

Reza Aslan, a MUSLIM, who holds four degrees, one in the New Testament, is fluent in biblical Greek, and has been studying the Bible for two decades, and just happens to be a Muslim, defends himself against Green's Islamophobia.

"But it begs the question, why you would be interested in the founder of Christianity?" She asks.

"Because it's my job as an academic. I am a professor of religion. It's what I do for a living," Aslan answers.

Green goes on to quote an opinion piece about Aslan's book that attacks him as a Muslim (the piece was published on the Fox News website, btw).

"To be clear, I am a historian. I am a PhD in the history of religions. This is a piece of history," Aslan incredulously responds. "I'm not sure what my faith has to do with my twenty years of academic study... I think it's strange that instead of debating the merits of the book, we're actually discussing the right of the scholar to actually write it."
