American right-wing blogger Pamela Geller clashed with British imam Choudhary just days after gunmen Elton Simpson, 31 and Nadir Soofi, 34, attempted to storm the controversial cartoon event in Garland, Texas.
Geller, 56, has received death threats and Islamic State militants have called for her "slaughter" since the exhibition.
During a heated live Fox News interview, host Sean Hannity questioned Choudhary on his views about the cartoon drawing event and if he thought Ms Geller should die.
The imam replied: "We’re not talking about Mickey Mouse or Donald Duck.
“You’re talking about people who deliberately had a competition to insult the prophet … knowing full well this carries the death threat in Iran.
"If you saw the cartoons that Charlie Hebdo drew [sic], you would understand the anger."
The cleric then went on to say that Geller would be fully aware that many Muslims consider blasphemy a crime that is worth capital punishment. » | Rebecca Perring | Thursday, May 07, 2015
