LONDON, Ont. -- A 17-year-old Muslim student sparked the testiest exchange and the loudest cheers and jeers at a speech by controversial U.S. conservative Ann Coulter at the University of Western Ontario Monday.

After a wide-ranging speech attacking gay rights activists, the mainstream media and the Barack Obama administration, Coulter took questions from an audience clearly divided in its support for her style of attack conservatism.

Fatima Al-Dhaher, a political science student from London, rose and spoke about comments Coulter made after the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

The firebrand Republican had suggested Muslim countries be invaded, their leaders killed and all Muslims converted to Christianity. She later suggested Muslims denied air travel take �flying carpets� instead.

�As a 17-year-old student of this university, Muslim, should I be converted to Christianity? Second of all, since I don�t have a magic carpet, what other modes do you suggest,� Al-Dhaher said to loud and sustained applause.

�I thought it was just American public schools that produced ignorant people,� Coulter replied, prompting her own round of applause.

Coulter then noted many Japanese were converted to Christianity after the Second World War and �we haven�t heard a peep out of them.�

To shouts of �Answer the question,� Coulter finally replied �What mode of transportation? Take a camel.�

�Are you going to convert her now?� another student shouted out.

�No, there are some people I just as soon not convert,� Coulter retorted.

Al-Dhaher, who left the session soon after, said she came to the speech because it�s important to hear all sides of the political spectrum.

But Coulter disappointed, Al-Dhaher said and raised one of the criticisms that has marked the conservative�s otherwise entertaining speeches.

�She just spewed all this nonsense, it was a comedic act.�

Coulter did not disappoint her many fans in the crowd of 800 with either her politics or her humour.

Little of Coulter�s speech touched on Canadian issues, but she did predict Americans would eventually �punch back� against the historic health-care deal � and a blow to Republicans � passed this week.

�I don�t know how we�re going to have the punchback, but four years of (Democratic President) Jimmy Carter brought us (Republican President) Ronald Reagan.�

Her 45-minute speech was loosely focused on political correctness, which gave her full reign to attack liberals of all stripes.

Liberals constantly complain their rights are being attacked in the same way blacks� rights once were, she said.

�In America everybody wants to be black. The feminists want to be black, the illegal aliens want to be black, the gays want to be black,� she said.

Yet none of the complainers have anything serious to complain about, Coulter said.

�There are only two things gay men can�t do. Number one, get married to each other. Number two, throw a baseball without looking like a girl.�

But her jokes often had a serious point as well.

�Every Democrat in the past several election cycles that has run for president has sworn to attack gay marriage, but only Republicans get attacked for gay marriage.�

Backed by the mainstream media, liberals have turned political correctness into a weapon that attempts to silence people with opposing views, Coulter said.

Liberal pundits suggest Obama�s race helped him win the election, but conservatives cannot do the same, she said.

Feminists blame the Conservatives for an array of ills, but turned suddenly silent when former U.S. president Bill Clinton had sex with intern, she said.

�Political correctness has nothing to do with offending people or not offending people. It is purely about power,� she said.

id hate fuck her into being pro-gay marriage

It's so liberating to watch someone who is a public figure and has absolutely zero interest in running for public office.

It's great because they can speak their mind, throw in an occasional joke, and not get bent out of shape when someone takes you out of context in an attempt to marginalize you.

The best part is that with every Fatima whatshername, comes more and more attention, publicity, and demand for a person who will shamelessly tell it like it is.

she's like a train wreck... can't help but to rubberneck

she's ugly

Mz. Coulter on the other hand....

If you can't see that what some of Coulter (and Limbaugh) say is intentionally extreme and over the top then I don't know what to do for you.

Despite what this country is turning into, its OK to tell a joke once and a while.

And further, I seriously doubt those jokes are good-humored. It's one thing to poke fun, its another to intentionally piss off and offend different cultures.

if you watch what she says when she says it, instead of when it is replayed and cut up or better yet, written out in an article, you will see that most of the time it is just a sarcastic remark at the end of her point to drive it home

Like I said originally, I just enjoy watching people get all bent out of shape over what she says because all it does is further her popularity and put more money in her pocket.

are you saying that Christians should try to convert everyone?

lol she really is like a comedian. Shes a deluded bitch and I find myself disagreeing with almost everything she says. What a cunt.

Id still show her the hairy side of my hand and fuck her every way but the Christian way tho!

lol @ what comes out of your keyboard
