CNN's Chris Cuomo on Friday fretted that a new report on ISIS and its rape culture would reinforce negative perceptions of Muslims. The New Day anchor talked to Dr. Qanta Ahmed, an author and human rights advocate.

Reacting to a front page story on the New York Times, Cuomo played a clip of a woman recounting brutal violence at the hands of ISIS. He then lectured, "This feeds the impression that these Muslims are animals, savages and their faith makes them that way. And it feeds an impression of what Islam is. What is your response to that?"

Ahmed, the author of a book on the subject of what it's like to be a woman in Saudi Arabia, swatted ths critique away:

QANTA AHMED: This is Islamism at work. We've talked a lot about this on this show. Islamism is totalitarianism. Sometimes that's hard to understand. Totalitarianism means absolute domination of the self. These Islamists are dominating to extinction girls and women. It's very calculated. Number one, it destroys the individual. That's a lady that has fortunately survived. Others will die in the process of sepsis or bleeding or hemorrhage. An entire people is being emasculated. They're being separated from their men and women and girls are lost forever. Sixty percent of Yazidis are abducted and remain in disappearance.

Back in June, Cuomo insisted, "Certain people reserve 'terrorism' only for Islamist extremists, and that's part of the bigotry that we're dealing with here in our evolution of the understanding of the threat in America."

On another occasion, he derided commentator Pam Geller's contest to draw the Prophet Muhammad: "You're throwing a stone," making an "overt provocation."
