DW Presenter “Gaafar” to Egyptian Atheist “Muhammed”: You participated in this TV program as an atheist, What was your reaction when you were asked to leave? What went through your mind?

Muhammed: I was surprised, and scared, I didn't understand why, I didn't do anything that requires such a reaction, I mean, I just don't believe, It's something that shouldn't trigger this amount of anger. I didn't know of anything to do to make this situation better.

DW Presenter to Muhammed: Why didn't you reply back to the Sheikh and the host?

Muhammed: Because the conversation wasn't a dialogue that I could participate in, the situation was all about.. like.. there's nothing to gain from shouting.

DW Presenter to Egyptian Host “Mahmoud”: Okay let's ask the host, Mahmoud. Mahmoud, What do you comment about what he said? He felt like you were telling people he's a bad example of the youth, what's your comment?

Mahmoud: My dear, Gaafar, I would like to welcome you and the viewers, First of all, when we invited Muhammed, we thought that we're going to present an episode about atheism, we hosted a guy who said that he has ideas that I want to present. We invited him and Dr. Mahmoud Ashour from ALAZHAR and the purpose of the show was to discuss the fact that some of the Egyptian youth are becoming Atheists, so we said we're going to discuss them about that and see, but when we hosted Muhammed, we found a guy who's confused, he doesn't have any useful thoughts to present to the people. Secondly, He started talking about weird stuff. Host: okay Mahmoud..

DW Presenter to Egyptian Host “Mahmoud”: Yes but Mahmoud, What do you mean he doesn’t have anything useful to present? Who decides whether it's useful or not?

Mahmoud: He doesn't have anything to present, and he started talking about biological theories, and things that the average viewer will not understand, like he started talking about the big bang theory Host: but.. and the creation of the universe Host: Mahmoud while we're talking in the "Egyptian Street" Program Host: Mahmoud who millions watch from Egyptians and Arabs Host: Yes but Mahmoud who decides… Gaafar Listen to me, I'm telling you millions of Arabs and Egyptians watch the program, they're just ordinary people, he started talking about biological stuff that ordinary people wont understand.

DW Presenter to Egyptian Host “Mahmoud”: Why did you kick him out and not let him speak?

Mahmoud: My friend, my dear friend..

DW Presenter to Egyptian Host “Mahmoud”: Mahmoud we're colleagues not friends

Mahmoud: Okay Gaafar, When he started the episode, he was here because he had ideas as an atheist, he didn't talk about anything useful for the viewer, he didn't present anything for the viewer who's watching across the TV..

DW Presenter to Egyptian Host “Mahmoud”: Okay but Muhammed my question is very clear, your episode was watched by my viewers, and in your episode you said, "I advice you to go straight to a psychiatric hospital”!

Mahmoud: Exactly and I still agree on that Muhammad is mentally imbalanced, and my advice to him and all the Atheists is to go right away to a psychiatric hospital and going to a psychiatric hospital isn't a taboo. Atheism is an illness just like depression is, depression is a natural illness. When I say he should go there, I still agree on that.

DW Presenter to Egyptian Host “Mahmoud”: He has a freedom of speech, this is where freedom of speech starts, He has a freedom of speech to say whatever he wants. Why did you decide .. like on what basis .. on what scientific basis have you decided that he has a mental problem? Where's the proof for that?

Mahmoud: Through his behavior Host: But are you a doctor? His anxiety which you could see it in his character Host: But are you a doctor? I'm not a doctor, I'm the host I'm not a doctor, I'm the host Host: then how are you able to diagnose an illness? through his behavior that happened in front of me before we go live, and even after we did, his behavior is full of anxiety. This is a person who has zero confidence in himself, who has no confidence in his ideas. If he was right he would've had more confidence while he was there but he didn't present anything that benefits the viewer Host: but Mahmoud

DW Presenter to Egyptian Host “Mahmoud”: but Mahmoud, are you the host, the judge or the doctor?

Mahmoud: I'm not a judge nor a doctor, I'm the host, I judged him and said that through his behavior
