about a shut down of muslims entering america changing the demmeics rate. if you woke up from a 24 hour nap, this is what he said reading from his own press release >> donald trump is calling for a total and complete shut down of muslims entering the united states until our country's representatives can figure out what the hell is going on now, donald trump's press release says "there is great hatred towards american". few says it cannot identify the report he is researching. our countries did find concern muslims concerned westerners as immoral, but there's no hatred mentioned.
6:32 am
25% of the polls agree that violence against muslims in united states is justified in accordance with jihad. it has been criticised which studies islam aphobia. it called the poll deeply flawed with a history of fear monday angering about islam and muslims. house speaker paul ryan is amongst republicans criticising donald trump saying, this is not conservativism. here is more of what he had to say >> what was proposed yesterday is not what this party stands for and more importantly, it's not what this country stands for. not only are there many muslims serving in our armed forces dying for this country, there are-- dying for this lindsay graham was less
6:33 am
diplomatic telling an interviewer if americas want to make great again tell "donald trump to go to hell". he is way down in the polls and has little to lose from confronting donald trump. the question is whether any front runners will really embrace his politics of fear next week in l.a. turning to answer that is tom doherty, who served former new york governor. what is your reaction?
6:34 am
trump, that was the brand. as we get close to the caucus the party recognises enough is enough one of the leaders of the party ted cruise, he refused to condemn donald trump. isn't that part of the problem, that you still have some opportunism out there from others? i think that jab bush called him unhinged. i think chris christie tea had remarks on it. i think twitter is part of the
6:35 am
dialogue today. that's where people get their messages out. i think the fact that party leaders have spoken out about this sends a signal that we've had enough. to the trump point, this is only solidifying his small base. he is not growing a party or a base of support that you need to win an election as far as winning the nomination, would you acknowledge that if he wins iowa new ham pshire he goes unscathed. >> i don't think he will win any of those it's still damaging to the republican party to have him doing what he is doing >> i don't think so. in a funny way, guys like land say graham who months ago would have been considered to the right, to the far right, ryan who has been criticised to the right, i've always thought he was a moderate reasonable republican, comments like this condemning this i think makes the party looks good what about the argument
6:36 am
that, perhaps, this is the republican party's own fault, its own doing. if you look back at the past couple of months, the party was silent when there was then carson on meet the press saying that he does not believe a muslim should be a president. the party was solid when he was saying maybe we need to monitor mosques. it seems that the republican party is stepping up >> there's no question about that. if you look at the immigration press conference came out, for the moment it was said it is outrageous, it is not who we are. it has taken longer for others to come on board, but americans have a short memory when it comes to politics. the next step is io are wa and it will be forgotten won't it take a massive delusion of negative dumped on donald trump to stop him and if so who does it?
6:37 am
lot of super packs starting to do that. remember, though, tlgs is less important in caucus states. a lot of those states are social media, grass roots, door to door efforts. new ham psire is different and that can hurt him one of the key constituent s is evangelicals. maybe that will res nature with some of them because that is a group that may be most afraid of muslims or religion unlike their own >> >> i think it will go to ted cruise. i think the same will hold true is south california. you have a candidate from the left and right. i think the center right candidate is ted cruise if it is, you look at him, donald trump, ben carson, these are the top three anti
6:38 am
establishment candidates. the republican party has essentially shot out if any one of these three wins them >> i don't think they will win the nomination, but we have always had this battle within the party. it has been the establishment whereas the right wing of the party and ultimately it has always been the establishment for more reasonable republican as i like to call them that wins the nomination let's assume ted cruise wins, iowa a repeed yeggs to donald trump, and perhaps an establishment candidate battling those two two. who is it?
6:39 am
establishment candidates up against ted cruz for the denomination who you mention out there in front criticise iingdonald trum but ted cruz habitue done. >> clearly he has taken it upon himself to say i don't want to go head to head with donald trump now the republican consultant, thanks to come. coming up with security experts say that maligning muslims is a dangerous idea that may amount to aiding the enemy. later, a donald trump's plan for a wall of a different kind. in cyber space. >> the only live national news show at 11:00 eastern. >> we start with breaking news.
6:42 am
>> we are scared. >>...have an organized right-wing movement trying to kill others. homeland security secretary is trying to reassure muslim communities that they are not being targeted by u.s. authorities. his efforts came after the presidential donald trump, a total and complete shut down of muslims entering the united states. johnson rejected this, saying it is illegal, unconstitutional and un-american. he told people earlier at a mosque that america should not throw a net of suspicion over
6:43 am
american muslims and an entire religion. >> reporter: good evening. the u.s. secretary of homeland security at this virginia mosque to send a message to the muslim community that they are not the enemy. in an exclusive interview with us that there is a rise of islam aphobia. >> we have seen incidents already. i heard about incidents in the meeting i just had here that were horrible. so i am concerned. >> reporter: one reason comments from the republican presidential candidates like donald trump who is now calling for all muslims to be banned from entering the united states. >> it's common sense and we have to do it >> reporter: the chief imam here says it is the worst it has been. it is worst than it was after the september 11 attacks and he says it is muslim children paying the price >>
6:44 am
>> what i'm worried about, this kind of talk is impacting the average american who does not know us, who the children go to the same school as our children. >> reporter: another presidential candidate paul is pushing a bill to stop immigration from 34 countries, all muslim majority countries except one. >> because that one is on the list shows that it is not just based on muslims. >> reporter: at the mosque where they've increased security, there is growing concern but also hope. >> some people have said the same people about the jewish community. there's some people have said the same thing about president kennedy, can he be trusted, where is his loyalty?
6:45 am
america had regard to look at before. america is going through this now which it shall over come >> reporter: a hope to the end of politics of fear, but one that won't be realized in this election cycle meanwhile secretary johnson said donald trump's rhetoric on the campaign trail of muslims hampers the republicans. here is what he said. >> working with the muslim community not driving them away, not vilifying them, not . those of us in government have to speak out about this proposal and this idea this is important because a new report suggests that i.s.i.l. is increasing the number of foreign recruits to fight and train in the territories the controls in iraq and syria. aas many as 31,000 foreign
6:46 am
fighters, most from western countries including the united states gone over. a security consulting firm, richard bar et is the senior vice president is here in the stowed ye. you've heard the homeland security secretary say that the rhetoric of donald trump actually harms attempts against i.s.i.l. does it do that on the ground in terms of where i.s.i.l. is?
6:47 am
after muslims and stereotypes that's helping i.s.i.l. as a result >> yeah. that's the way they so it. they see it very much black and white, you're either with us or against us. what donald trump says they're all against us, they're with i.s.i.l. in this report, talking about the number of fighters, how do they compare? how much worse are the sympathys in europe compared to the united states? we know there's worse. >> we've been trying to track these numbers stance the start of the syrian war in 2011. by the middle of 2014 we thought a few gone from europe, very few from the united states, but it's a growing problem. we see almost double those figures, particularly in europe. in the u.s. the increase is much, much less. still only about 150 people or so who have gone from here, but in europe it's many thousands. that is obviously of great concern to the european authorities
6:48 am
perhaps to correlate with the fact that american muslims generally are seen as much better integrated in society here than in europe, but that's still 150 people from here that the government has to keep track of. >> we don't know who is coming, staying there, going to get killed. 40 or so have come back. it's a huge devotion of resources if you're going to follow all of those. clearly you need to find out why people have gone and why people have come back a report that says i.s.i.l. may become more dangerous as it does. what does that mean?
6:49 am
overseas. let's do that as a projection of our ability there have been some analysts in the united states that have suggested that eventually i.s.i.l. might implode because it's not good at governing and that the people in the territories that controls will rebel against the taxes, they're leaving by the tens of thousands. is that true and doesn't that then bolster the idea that, perhaps, the united states should just be patient in addition to the air strikes and everything this can do but be patient because eventually i.s.i.l. is going to have its own problems with the people >> a good point about governance. many of them who want to live-- who lived under the islamic state will want to stay there. they don't want some local war lord. i.s.i.l. offers some stability. that that's a condemnation of the alternatives because if they're not even worse than-- not even better than i.s.i.l.
6:50 am
that's not saying much for them that would suggest , let's assume it's the territories, there is a crucial value in making sure that the people who go back in, who occupy that land not only in the united states and the other allies trust them, but that the local populations can entrust them to be engaged in good governance. >> crucial. the population has to have some sense of ownership of the government around they. they have to be involved, apartment and be supportive of that what do you make of the rhetoric of donald trump and the idea from some quarters in the united states that he is an example that america is losing its spine. losing its nerve. we saw that americans are more engaged in anti muslim rhetoric than after 911. what is that about?
6:51 am
wonderful democracy as the united states which has absorbed many people, but i doubt whether many would agree with him that thank you for coming in. we appreciate it. >> thank you coming up why donald trump wants help from bill gates with a different kind of ambiguous plan, one that could impact something you do every day. >> welcome to al jazeera america. more reporters, more stories, more perspective. >> from our award-winning news teams across america and beyond. >> we've got global news covered. sure, tv has evolved over the years.

6:55 am
may be in certain areas closing that internet up in some way here is the thing. donald trump's plan is not all that different from what hillary clinton has said on the campaign trail. she says silicon valley needs to do a better job policing jihadist on line saying shut them down. our correspondent has been following this. it may not be so simple. is it possible?
6:56 am
they try to make it easy. that said there are ways, technical ways to sort of clamp down on certain patterns that up see within your user base. we could do that here that would suggest that some of this monster is silicon valley's own making, how they design their platforms >> certainly. we're talking about in this case it is the one thing that silicon valley companies are not built to do. they're not built to limit their users or patrol them. thinking about redit, wide open platform for commentary, all kind of racist and violence and sexism is perpetrated there, but those founders built it to be open forum. in this same way twitter is designed to be as open as possible. i think we've seen with revelations about n.s.a. surveillance, the world that these companies are is that one that lends itself towards collaboration with the n.s.a. or the government when they are trying
6:59 am
they should be able to agree on this. you've got these actors, whether they're officially associated with a group, it gives you a very interesting sort of raw look at how they're thinking, how they're communicating and we've seen trams in the past use social media connections to flesh out the relationships among people in a group. facebook has been a very useful way of sort of understanding the social connections between people in terrorist organizations and in gangs. chicago pd uses facebook to try to figure out who's doing what and where they're going to meet. to turn all of this off may not be the best way to keep tabs on what's going on out there thank you for that. always great having you here >> thanks that is it for our show today. thanks for joining us. the news continues here on al jazeera america.
