border town wounding a number of residents. for days syria's military and rebels have been fighting for control on a town on the syrian side of a border. a giant panda cub born a week ago at the zoo in washington has died. the cub's birth was seen as a big step in conservation, the first to be born at the zoo since 2005. zookeepers heard the mother in distress this morning, they ran in to do cpr, but the panda couldn't be saved. >> this is devastating. this is devastating for all of us here. it's hard to describe how much passion and energy and thought and care has gone into this. >> they're investigating but it's still not known what caused the cub's death. what started out as a sweet 16 party in the netherlands turned into a birthday brawl literally. a teenager apparently went on facebook to invite her friends to her downtown celebration. the invite went viral, between 3,000 and 5,000 people showed up. police arrested 34 people. more violence this weekend over the anti-islamic film

that's been so offensive to muslims. thousands of hezbollah supporters in a lebanon town protested against the film and the leader of lebanon's shiite muslim movement called for a new protest tomorrow. this after other protests broke out in nigeria, bangladesh, and germany. and meanwhile, a leading figure from the sunni islam world has called for calm in the wake of continuing violent protests. ali gomas spoke with elan lee and called for his followers and muslim followers to act more as the prophet muhammad would. ian joins me by phone. he's in cairo, egypt. will this have any impact in lessening the violence? >> don, it definitely will have some impacts on lessening the violence, especially in egypt and the surrounding countries. this is one of the leading figures of sunni islam. his voice does carry quite a bit

of weight, but there will be extremist groups who want to exploit this video and political organizations that will want to use it to advance politically. so there are those who are going to still go out despite his maesage of peace, despite his message of calm. there are those who will want to exploit this, but he is devil, the grand mufti is going on a media campaign trying to spread his message throughout the islamic world to tell people to calm down, to show patience, to show tolerance for this video and to combat it with education and sharing a belief with others. gee said he was concerned about this film some time ago, correct? >> that's right. he told me that -- these kind of videos will get violent responses in the middle east.

it doesn't come as a surprise because these kind of films, these kind of insults towards islam carry heavy sentences in these countries, and when this video first came out, he was afraid that, you know, this would cause a stir. this is what he had to say to us. >> translator: i was one of the first to warn about the dangers of this film. in a statement to the muslim world, i asked people to deal with the situation the way prophet muhammad dealt with issues, through patience and wisdom. >> he also talked to you, ian, about the film being a vehicle of hate, not of expression of free speech. is that valid? >> like i said earlier, these kind -- this kind of video, if it was produced in many countries in the middle east, the producer could get the death penalty for it. so this is definitely something that muslims take very seriously, these things they find very insulting. but when you talk to the

protesters on the street and you bring up something like freedom of speech, many people don't understand the concept of freedom of speech that people in the west have because for many of them, they have been living under dictatorship for such a long time they don't understand what it means and what the responsibilities are, and many people thought that this video was sanctioned by the u.s. government because like in many countries like egypt, films have to go through government censors and governments have to approve them before they're released. so a lot of people thought that the u.s. government had to approve this video before it was released. so there's a lot of miscommunication between the two, and that's the one thing that the mufti was trying to go for, to try to educate the people here and over in the west to try to cross the divide that is separating them right now. >> they're not even aware you can just on your cell phone upload a video to youtube or anywhere, facebook, and have it seen around the world.

tonight a discussion about the prophet muhammad, a discussion that will lost likely make a lot of you very uncomfortable, but why should it? i'm here in the united states which prides itself on freedom, especially the freedom of expression, yet through the technology of television people around the world can see this, including radical islamists, who in the past few days have attacked and murdered people all in the name of the prophet muhammad. and to be clear, our motive here is to educate and to understand, not to incite or instigate. that said, one of the big stories this week was about this. it is the new iphone and on this thing you can take pictures, you can shoot videos, and then when you're done, there are buttons that allow you to tweet it. you can facebook it or send it right to youtube for the entire world to see. anyone anywhere at any second is capable of broadcasting something insulting. so my point is that you cannot stop the march of time. so as i watch the violence overseas i wondered in what

century are these protesters living? and then i read william's article on slate.com called internet videos will insult your religion. ignore them and get over it. welcome, william. thanks for joining us. it's not just democracy or the u.s., it's technology, and no matter your religious beliefs, william, you cannot stop progress. >> no, and, don, you just made the point. you don't require a network anymore to broadcast hateful speech around the world. all you need is a video camera, an internet connection, literally two people were responsible for creating and disseminating this movie on the internet that has inflamed the muslim world. >> and you write that the filmmaker wanted to prove that islam is a violent religion and the protesters played right into his script, especially since most of them, william, had never even seen the video. they're being manipulated in more ways than one. >> we have our crazies over in this country who want to inflame

passions in the muslim world and get people angry, and then we have radical clerics over in the muslim world who are happy to collaborate in this with each side hating the other and trying to incite their populations against each other. >> so the next time it will be something else, another video, another cartoon, or what have you. william, i want you to listen to this. >> since our founding the united states has been a nation that respecting all faiths. we reject all efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others. >> let me state very clearly, and i hope it is obvious, that the united states government had absolutely nothing to do with this video. >> okay. so that was part of the psa that the u.s. government spent about $70,000 of ad time to run on tv in pakistan. not once did it mention free speech. so here is a question, by being so sensitive and not telling some of these people, as you say, just to get over it, has

the u.s. become enablers prolonging the inevitable that these handful of protesters or however many there are are ultimately fighting a losing battle. >> i wouldn't be so hard on the administration. they are trying to convey something very complicated. look, we are at the beginning of a big, long international conversation with the muslim world, and what we're trying to convey is just because we allow something to be broadcast, to be put on the internet in this country does not mean that the government or the american people support it. that's a very complicated idea that we're trying to convey to people who live in countries where that kind of thinking has not been allowed. >> you also write to the protesters, you said the hatred and bloodshed will go on until you stop taking the bait. mockery of your prophet on a computer with an internet address somewhere in the world can no longer be your master nor can the puppet clerics who tell you to respond with violence. in writing that in america we take these words, interpret them

as tough love, but do you worry that what you have written will incite radical islamists to do more violence? >> no, quite the opposite. the point i'm making is that since we can't stop it, we can't stop somebody with an iphone from making a video, we can't stop someone with an internet connection from disseminating it, the place we can stop this is for the people who might -- the people who are the targets of this, who they're trying to offend with the anti-muslim stuff, to ignore it. simply ignore it. nobody came to watch this movie when it was put in a theater in the united states. nobody. why can't the muslim world treat it the same way? >> william, thank you very much. very interesting article and we appreciate you joining us. >> thank you. >> all right. so if the prophet muhammad, if it's off limits, if so, why? this is america. a muslim, a christian, and a jew walk into our studio for an honest conversation that is no joke. ♪ well, he's not very handsome ♪ to look at [ sighs ]

muhammad off limits? >> i don't think muhammad is off limits. i think the people who often speak about islam and on behalf of islam, people who push themselves as experts generally aren't very familiar with islam and aren't able to indicate who muhammad is to muslims. i think the problem is we don't have a conversation about islam that we deserve and so what happens is you get extremists voices from both sides filling in the gaps leaving the vast majority of muslims and the vast majority of americans in the dark. >> no matter how civilized a conversation we have here tonight or on television, it won't stop what happened. it's not stopped being the protests. >> well, i think we have to be fair when we look at the protests what's happening. the overwhelming majority of muslims from the grassroots to muslim leaders and religious leaders and political leaders have condemned the violence, have condemned the protest. if you look at the people protesting, a smaller percentage of them are protesting violently.

wile there are people with extremist opinions, i don't think the protests are about the prophet muhammad. i think they have to do with feelings of humiliation and being basically not treated with dignity, not treated as part of society as being able to politically participate. there are a lot of feelings of marginalization and alienation. i think this is an excuse for people to come out and vent those feelings. these kind of gestures are pushed by extremist voices in order to push their own cause forward. >> i hear what you're saying, but as most of us look at it around the world, especially the western -- in western culture, we don't see many people coming forward who are maybe secular muslims, are people who are more -- in the middle for lack of a better term, not radical islamists who come forward to denounce these sorts of activities. we see the people who are out on the streets, and we hear the words that you're saying, that it's a handful, it's not a lot of people, but i don't think

most people believe it because we don't see the other side. we don't see a counter weight that's as big or that can counter those protesters. >> well, i think the counterweight is there. we're just not paying attention. we tend to show things that feed into a narrative of what we expect the muslim world to be. 10,000 or 20,000 people on the street is not a huge number of people. there's been protests in libya, 30,000, 40,000 people and invest been coming out protesting against the killing of ambassador stevens. protesting against extremism, against radicalism. every major religious leader pretty much across the board has condemned calls for extreme action and radicalism. it's just a question of what we're paying attention to. >> i want to read something from "the new york times." columnist roger cohen writes this. he says the muslim world -- the

muslim world cannot have it both ways. it cannot place islam at the center of political life and in extreme cases political violence while at the same time declaring that the religion is off-limits to contestation and ridicule. is there a belief in the muslim world you can't disorderly conduct u-- you can have it bot ways that the prophet muhammad cannot be depicted in any way at all? is it a sense the muslim world wants it both ways? >> i don't think ronger cohen is being fair or accurate. the prophet muhammad is a deeply contested figure. most of the dageer divisions in islam today have to do with interpreting the prophet muhammad's legacy. i think the difference here is the caricatures being made are blatantly offensive. it's not about meaningful criticism and debate. it's about mockery and humiliation. for a small percentage of muslims, a small percentage, that kind of caricature and mockery is not separate from the country of treatment their countries and societies have received. for egyptians storming the u.s.

embassy, is it about the prophet muhammad or about what they perceive american foreign policy to be? i agree there needs to be more of a conversation about religion, more of an honest conversation, but i think as you see democracy spreading across the muslim world, we'll see that happen and maybe this is actually the first stages of that process happening. >> as a muslim, do you think the prophet muhammad should be depicted in any way? is it okay to depict him -- to make a caricature of him or to depict him in any way? >> i mean, honestly i believe in freedom of speech. as long as someone is not inciting violence directly, it's fair game. people should be allowed to make the point they want to make. from a religious point of view and a moral point of view, muslims find negative depictions of religious figures to be offensive, but i find it offensive and that doesn't mean i'm going to go to the streetsw. i think based on what's happening across the muslim

world, the overwhelming majority of muslims are not concerned enough to get into the streets, whether to protest peacefully or among the even smaller minority that are pushing things violently. we're just looking at a radical fringe. >> do you think most muslims worldwide think it's okay to depict the prophet muhammad? >> i don't think they agree with the ability to depict him, but at the same time there are differences within islam. a lot of shia muslims don't have the same taboo around depicting the prophet muhammad in images. there are also movies that are made about the prophet's life and sacred figures in islamic thought. i think this has a lot more to do with political grievances, with anger, with democratization, with opening up a political process for the first time and really these are societies where people are beginning to see their chance to really influence society. so it's going to be messy amolo the way. this is one of the bumps along the way. >> thank you very much.

we're not done yet. jesus isn't off limits. his depiction is used in movies and shows all the time. why do fire shootings, rioting, and deaths happen at the mere mention of muhammad? see what a christian and a jew have to say next. you don't have to be in front of a television to watch cnn. you can stay connected, you can do it on your cell phone or you can do it from your computer at work. just go to cnn.com/tv. now, that's what i call a test drive.

a parody of the prophet muhammad has led to deadly uprisings across the muslim world. how is it images of jesus can be made in parodies without violent consequences but not muhammad. is depicting one more acceptable than the other? two men with a lot of say on this, have a lot to say on this is bishop jim swilliy and rabbi botic. >> muslims need to understand in any free and open society everything is gob to be fair game. what they really need to understand is no one can insult islam accept muslims itself. it is the behavior on the part of the religious people who profess a certain faith that

will ultimately determine how that faith is depicted. if a catholic priest is found doing something illegitimate with a child, he's disgraced his faith. if a rabbi does something that is wrong within judaism than he has aligned his faith. those who burn embassies and do so in the name of the prophet muhammad are the blasphemiers. we really need to tell our islamic brothers and sisters, lovingly and candidly, that you run the risk of allowing the world to see your religion as violent by not condemning this violence. >> that's part of our discussion that we had this week as we were putting the show together and that i had earlier with mr. mogul and we'll have a little later on. before i let you respond, bishop, i want to play this. this week the idea came out that jesus may have had a wife and it

didn't take long for the late night shows to go to town to have a little bit of fun with it. check it out. >> wouldn't that be something if jesus was married? he could turn water into wine but he can't take out the garbage. maybe jesus wasn't even his name. maybe that's just what his wife used to yell every time he came home late and it stuck. >> well, now, jesus -- it sounds like maybe i got you at a bad time. i'll check you another team. >> take the tigers at 1 1/2. >> will do, jesus. >> jesus was married. there is some pure uncut sitcom bait. he can raise the debt but heaven help him when he forgets to put down the toilet seat. yes, kevin james is jesus in "the king of kings." >> so, rabbi, to your point, this was all over the networks but there have been no

uprisings, no burning effigies of kimmel, letterman, or stewart. are we looking at profoundly different cultures or is there something to be said about letting words just be words as the rabbi said? >> well, when i see those i can't help but laugh because those guys are hysterically funny. when i watch any portrayal of jesus from anything, even my boys like "south park" and a lot of these irreverent, "family guys" they have jesus parodies -- >> but to the rabbi's point, if you laugh at it, you laugh at it. you don't have to be offended. >> for me personally they're not talking about the jesus i know. in my mind they are skewering an image that people have about jesus that really is attacking organized religion much more than it is the actual jesus. >> are you offended by that at all? >> no, because i know who jesus is, and like -- in some settings

where i am, it's very ecumenical, i know christians don't like when you're sort of in that setting where you say all the faiths are accepted and embraced because there's a great feeling among evangelicals that anybody that's not a christian is -- they're not going to heaven, they're not right, they're going to hell. my feeling is that in all due respect, jesus is a big boy. you know, you bring him to the party, he can take care of himself. if i really do believe he's the king of kings and the lord of lords someone doing a mel brooks parody or whatever, it's a nonissue. >> but as i was saying, you can't stop the march of time because you caupload this onto anything and if you want to live in a free and democratic society, that's part of living in a free and democratic society. >> absolutely. >> then again we're looking at it in a western way. >> because when you deal with islam, you're talking about national identity. you're not just talking about religion. you're talking about this is what you would call a muslim

country. it's the same thing, it's like someone insulting your mother or insulting your family or your school or whatever except that when it comes to religion you're dealing with the mysteries of god. >> rabbi, you heard the jokes. we laughed at them. there were no burning effigies, nobody issued a fatwa or anything for any of those guys. so then what gives here? >> the book of mormon playing a couple blocks from where i'm sitting right now that's utterly blasphemous or the mormons and they're not at the barricades. there's two very important points. first of all, a lot of our arab brothers and sisters are living in countries where forget about criticizing the prophet mohammed, if they spoke out about their own leaders they might be beheeded. try speaking out in skauaudi ara against king abdullah. there's an a suppression of the free some of speech. in the hebrew bible upon which all religions are built, there

are no perfect people, no one is infallible. everybody is subject it criticism. >> in a relationship, what happens when it's her fault? well, there is a book with that title that aims to give women the upper hand. it is the same book the author, a high school girl's basketball coach, and a counselor says got him fired. we're going to talk to him next. that's one smart board. what else does it do, reverse gravity? [ laughs ] [ laughs ] [ whooshing ] tell me about it. why am i not going anywhere? you don't believe hard enough. a smarter way to shop around. now that's progressive. call or click today. [ grunting ]

a suburban chicago guidance counselor is without a job after writing what he refers to as a dating advice book. his book "it's her fault" advises women on what to do to

get the upper hand in their relationships. the school board say the how-to book contains offensive content regarding women and sex. they voted to fire craig and the professor counselor is not taking the matter sitting down. brian craig joins us from chicago along with his attorney, steven richards. you were also the girls' basketball coach. >> i was the coach before this all came about and i resigned before then for reasons that had nothing to do with the book. >> what does your book have to do with your job? >> absolutely nothing. >> nothing. obviously you feel you were unjustly fired. i want to read -- let's get to the book. let's talk more specifically about it. in the foreword to your book you say you have spent most of your life surrounded by women. you coach the girl's basketball team. you're a husband, a father, marriage counselor, you apparently liked your job as a

high school counselor so why even write the book? >> well, i wrote the book for one reason. i wanted to empower women and i wanted to encourage men and women to do whatever they have to do to foster positive relationships. that's the main reason why i wrote it. >> okay. you say that the firing violates your first amendment rights, but you have some very risque things in the book which is among the reasons that the board voted 6-0 to fire you. i'm going to read a quote from the book here. it says he's your man, go ahead and let him turn you every which way, let him touch your hair if he asks, real or not, give him oral sex without making the ugh face. so, listen, do you think -- just honestly for me as an adult, not a big deal, but do you think parents, especially those of young girls, would approve of you counseling them or coaching their kids with such a risque book out there? >> well, you know, i have been at the district for eight years and i have been a great

counselor and i formed tons of relationships with students and parents, and, you know, of course, i assume that with my character and me being a role model that that stood higher than anything, you know, and people can pull parts from the bible and make it sound sinister. what the media did actually was pulled a lot of parts. the media pulled a lot of parts, every part they could and made it into something that it's not, and from all of this, you know, anybody who bought the book assuming it was a sex book was highly disappointed, you know, because it's not that at all. >> so one more, you said the media is picking stuff out of the book. let's do another one. here is another quote from the book. you say if you take nothing else away from this conversation, take this, you as a woman have the power. the trick is making the man think he has the power some of the time. why give women the power? why write that? >> well, i state in the foreword, i have a daughter, i have a niece, i have a sister, i have a wife, i have tons of

friends and family who are females and for those people i would definitely break man law to let women know. women are smarter. we do a lot of things. we're not as smart in a relationship area as women can be. >> you've represented yourself well, so well your attorney didn't have to say one word. the attorney is steven richard and, of course, brian craig is the one who is suing and who was fired. come back when there is some movement on this, okay? >> thank you. >> thank you. sometimes even when you do everything right, things can go horribly wrong. just ask jill biden. >> i've seen joe up close. i have seen how -- >> we get our hands around that one next. we'll talk about it.

homicide of young people in america has an impact on all of us. how can we save these young people's lives? as a police chief, i have an opportunity to affect what happens in a major city. if you want to make a difference, you have to have the right education. university of phoenix opened the door. my name is james craig, i am committed to making a difference, and i am a phoenix. visit phoenix.edu to find the program that's right for you. enroll now.

all right. sometimes even when you do everything right, things can go horribly wrong. just ask the vice president's wife. >> so this election is personal to me, and it's deeply personal to the man i'm about to introduce. i've seen joe up close. i've seen how -- >> did you see that? we had that thing up in front of her hands. ben, she was reading the prompter an innocent moment that turned kind of dirty.

it was funny. she went with it. >> got even worse. she said things that are probably not appropriate to repeat on cnn. listen, you have to cut jill biden some slack because it just goes with becoming a biden. she was gaffe-free premarriage and now i understand her wedding vows she actually had to say in sickness and in health through gaffe after painful gaffe. i understand actually the next line in the speech, i'm glad we didn't have to hear it, she said joe biden has an amazing ability to arouse the base unlike mitt romney who wants to give voters the shaft. totally not the way she wanted it to come out. >> so listen, there are some off script moments that stuck out. a lot of people jumped on mitt romney's comments he made on hidden camera. >> this is true. one of the ones that didn't get as much coverage was when he said that he wishes that he was born of mexican parents, he'd

have a better chance of winning the election. then he said i say that jokingly but seriously it would be better if i was latino. so first of all he doesn't even know what jokingly means because then he said he actually did mean it seriously. but also maybe you should look inward at your policies, try to have actual positions that more people are in favor of instead of hoping could you magically switch races. >> yeah. >> what's his plan to court more older medicare voters? if only i were a giant bottle of prescription pills. i'd have a much better chance. >> let's talk about "saturday night live." looks like it's going to be a real player this season like last night. take a look at this clip and i want you to weigh in. >> why are you saying anything during this romney tailspin? i mean, let's review. on monday a secret tape is released where romney insults half the country and then that same day he stands by those remarks. on wednesday he does a town hall for hispanics in brown face and friday paul ryan gets booed by

the aarp and instead of just enjoying that, you go, hey, everybody, remember my campaign slogan? yeah, i can't do that. don't make this hard on yourself. you're like the criminal who gets away with murder and then starts sending the cops puzzles to figure it out. >> does he have a point, ben? maybe candidates should have comedians as advisers. >> that's not a bad idea. we would definitely them avoid these problems, but i think maybe obama is doing it on purpose. i think he likes a challenge when he runs for president. four years ago he became the first african-american to become president in this country with a very sordid past when it comes to race. i think now he thinks i just have to run again against mitt romney, bring on challenges. i bet you next week he will come on the news and he will say, oh, fellow americans, mitt romney would be a better president. and then check the polls. i'm still up! i'm still up, baby. >> ben, thank you, sir. always funny. >> thanks for having me. it is the last pga tour

event and one of its biggest, the winners, the losers, and $11 million check. goodness, we'll go live to east lake golf club next.

tiger who? rory who? most of the attention was on those two superstars heading into the tour championship in atlanta, but now the spotlight is on tournament and fed ex champion brandt snedeker who takes home more than 11 million bucks. joining me now a patrick snell. patrick, everyone was talking about tiger and rory earlier this weekend. this was a major upset, was it? >> let's just say that brandt snedeker is a name to be

reckoned with now in the world of golf, don. i'll tell you a little bit about how tiger and rory fell short in just a few moments but lets pay trib fwut snead kerr. he's been $1.44 million for an extra $10 million bonus thrown in thanks to fedexcup title as well, but he was coolness and calmness personified, never really got into a flap and tell me how he is going to be spending that money now, he wants to help others, gives to charity, feels that very important. one person who simply doesn't need it and not going to go out and buy a new car, don. >> so, what a year for him. he makes his first ryder cup team and now this but i have to ask you about tiger and rory. great years, but they couldn't handle snedeker this weekend at all it appeared. >> they really couldn't. snedeker finished at 10 under par for the championship.

tiger woods was 2 under par, eight shots back. rory 1 under, nine shots back. when you factor in this little stat, that woods was the co-leader after round one, it really was a surprise, or was it? tiger has shown in recent month these can't string four good rounds together and seriously maintain a serious challenge for a title. rory mcill roy has been red hot. he came into this tournament looking for a third straight victory. did he play well. he was five under going into the final round, three shots back but didn't really make a move as i expected on sunday. both these two blockbuster names, if you like, don, ahead of this tournament, failed to make a serious impact on it, both of them playing second fiddle to that man, snedeker, looking forward to the ryder cup, team usa going into battle with team europe, don. >> good assignments. thank you, we appreciate it. aly if the for the history books, the space shuttle "endeavour" made its mark this week, becoming the final shut toll take to the skies this time on the back of a 747.
