levels around japan's fukushima nuclear plant are reported to be over one and a half thousand times higher than normal as the figures roys so the fears around of the radiation impact such as food and water contamination. more on that in half an hour's time with news continues in full next looks into the rise of it is not a phobia in the u.s. and how it's being justified there in our interview that's coming right up. archie sitting down with award winning writer and journalist ian buruma named one of the top one hundred global thinkers by foreign policy magazine mr brewer is a professor of democracy human rights and journalism and bard college in new york sir thank you so much for joining us today thank you for your latest book is taming the gods of religion and democracy on three continents so i want to start our discussion by asking you about the role of islam in the modern world how

significant is it do you see a certain level of. some for being in the united states nowadays and you think it's just so there is certainly a level of islamophobia just as the all over the western world it's difficult to talk about a lot of the role of islam because it's not one thing to millions and millions of people it's a faith inside the world of islam there's also a violent revolutionary movement which is a minority of muslims who take part in it of you can sympathize with it but it's there and that causes problems and to the extent that people are worried about violence coming from those groups that worried that worry is justified is that it's alarm i would. know that would be a very mistaken and dangerous notion are you seeing a certain level of phobia when it comes to islam. well yes you do you do

occasionally meet people who have bigoted opinions on it. i think it's one of the last forms of bigotry that is more or less for spectacle and you can't be you know just semites and be respectable but you can say that you can't stand muslims and you cannot you'll still get invited to dinner is not an acceptable double standard no not in my view it's it's part of the modern world from some of the things that have been coming out of the media but he seems like that is a sentiment they're trying to fuel i don't think so. i wouldn't blame the mainstream media for god so. i think what it really is is that because of globalization. because of financial insecurity. fast moving developments in the modern world in which some people feel that they are being left behind and so on there's a lot of anxiety and it's always useful in times of anxiety when people have an

enemy to focus on immigrants in general but muslims in particular are singled out as an object of fear. but. but to come back to your question i don't think that the mainstream media been. the worst culprits in this who have been the worst i think some of them in europe some of the populist politicians who have used various. in the united states. on radio cable t.v. and so on who. use this issue to stir up. water exploit resentment now in one of your articles about china there is a place where you see nationalism is often fed by a sense of impotence and i want to ask you about this do you think there is a saying that could also be relevant to modern day united states yes but it. comes back to that same issue that people who feel they're not represented they don't

have a voice that they're not listened to they don't have a grip on public affairs. very vulnerable. leaders who promise the earth as it were if you feel you're a lonely individual who has no influence on anybody and nobody cares about it feels good to be in a crowd shouting usa usa or. in the case of america could be in china or could be anywhere and in china what i meant by. chinese nationalism being a form often an expression of a form of it's i didn't mean that in the sense of the chinese government but where people have no political voice china is awful not a democracy. there nationalism can play the same role that religion plays in other parts of the world it becomes a kind of. substitute for political. participation the united

states is a democracy do you think people have a political voice here certainly more than in china. but the huge role played by money for example has distorted the process somewhat i mean it is not received but like all democracies it has great flaws and one of the flaws i think in this country is that you have two parties and people who get elected only can only get elected if there are. huge amounts of money involved and that leaves a lot of the population sort of out of the equation who do you think is the real power in the united states who really leads the country at this point is a corporations you know still wall street is it really washington d.c. or is it the tea party is the media it's course not one thing and the fact that it's not a dictatorship means there is not one center of power but if you corporations for example do you think they have

a bit more control than they should in making some i think are probably have more control than they should that's not to say that corporations run america be too simple they certainly have a huge influence as does the street as does the pentagon and those. in congress as do the. various voices in the media i mean they all have an influence some. of these groups institutions have perhaps more influence than water and that's because of the enormous role played by money i want to talk to you about china now. we talked a little bit about some of the fear mongering in the media do you think china is really a threat to the united states why is it seen as a threat by so many people and. is their bases to i don't think it's a direct threat to the united states certainly not military a. threat they're competing and they have a comparative advantage of having

a huge population that can make things much more cheaply than people carry the united states i don't think it's a huge threat it's perceived as such again because the rise of china as an as a serious power. with the economic clubs is has been is recent and has been very fast people are fearful for many different reasons and it's it helps them to be able to focus on something in the united states it's usually an external enemy well why is it so often external and it could be part of a lack of knowledge what is it well i think it's a big well it's partly the history of the u.s. it's sort of a refuge from the dangerous outside world and one way to make people feel that they have something in common with each other that creates a kind of conclusiveness of society is of course this idea that here we are in the united states and we will have to defend ourselves against this dangerous world out

there is that the united states powerful enough to just start worrying about you know rationally you would have thought so books these things are not always rational and if there isn't an external enemy people often vent in the domestic one that's not just in america it's all over the place you mentioned japan having been seen as a threat to western economies decades ago where does it stand now where you think anybody sees the threat anymore very soon after people are making a tremendous fuss about japan buying up the will there was a big recession and japan is now seen as a more or less normal capitalist country with it is a lot and now it's japanese to be fearful and they're very anxious about trying to want to ask you about bric bloc that is made up of brazil russia india and china some experts are saying that this block is going to really become. leader in. the world's economic arena do you think that's the case or is china way ahead of

everyone else china or certainly bigger than most other places and all these countries have a long way to grow. and are very dynamic for that reason because they come from a lower. base and so the tend to be industrious and ambitious and so on the way that perhaps is less true in. a continent like europe which has been prosperous for an awful long time do you think they could become stronger than the united states in europe in terms of their. combined possibly but to stronger me in today's economies and. corporations very very often it's they have will have their headquarters in one country but most of the factories in other countries and consumers all over the place and. it's become such an international economy you know it's it's difficult it's very difficult to talk in

terms of national strength and the chinese talk in that way and it's a it's it's a nineteenth century. rather driven way of looking. thinking about an economy. the american system of course is different if you are an american corporation and you game is not to make the united states into a stronger nation states your game is to make a lot of money and make sure that the shareholders are happy how do you measure power in north korea economically is a complete backwater it's a little slum out there that nobody would pay any attention to except for the fact that they have nuclear weapons and that makes it into a power that has to be taken into account in anything much it's a pleasure. first
