first interest is the west and there should be no apology but it's not by now the west can have feels own interest but if they can't control what the values mean democracy ok so i would tend to disagree with you on that ok you know be democratic but if you have an election we still don't like the outcome it sounds hypocritical why but again we're not and we're going to have a deal with them whether the government when it is time here david yuan jump in. now i just i just agree i agree with the point that you know you accept what democracy has brought but you don't need to necessarily support the government and you can you can call on that new government for standards of governance for standards of governance for its own people for standards of governance in this relationship with its neighbors yes but david then then the palestinian people are being punished for voting the wrong way right i don't see how they're being punished him and for voting the wrong way ok well what i can assure you when i say you know right c.n.n. you don't know you got gaza is under blockade ok because on the

is the west military intervention in mali still another example of the west's overall war against islam has there ever been one instance where an outside intervention in the name of fighting terrorism has ever produced peace stability and democracy and will the lessons of blowback ever be learned. to cross-talk the west's assault on the muslim world i'm joined by johnson in london he is an africa expert and in philadelphia we have daniel pipes he is a historian writer and political commentator all right gentlemen crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want if i can go to you first in london if we look back over the years here you know we've had the eight country and four years muslim country invaded assaulted whatever by western powers i mean is this a war against islam. but we would hope it's not a war against islam but there is the perception that the west has made some from the mental mistakes very much and crucially in terms of the message that's been sent around the world there's got to be a consistent approach a consistent message and somehow there's a di

to cross-talk the west's assault on the muslim world i'm joined by johnson in london he is an africa expert and in philadelphia we have daniel pipes he is the historian writer and political commentator all right gentlemen crosstalk rules in effect and means you can jump in anytime you want if i can go to you first in london if we look back over the years here you know we've had the eighth country in four years muslim country invaded assaulted whatever by western powers i mean is this a war against islam. but we would hope it's not a war against islam but there is the perception that the west has made some fundamental mistakes very much and crucially in terms of the message that's been sent around the world there's got to be a consistent approach a consistent message and somehow there's a discord between the message it sends when it's supports rebels in for example in other parts of the world in syria for example who already as we do know supportive . of course in mali it took chooses a completely different path and it's got a short consistent message especially when you have a. gentl

well first you know where i wish the west is that of the west has done a lot for me. to pull the whiskey be everything that i have you know without without the west. the very serious flaws and. states because if it threatens to attack israel so by your standard the united states should pursue what i read on rails or earlier your standard we should pursue those in gaza military militarily well that's a well that's a big lie iran has threatened no one iran hasn't attacked another country in two or three centuries. you're right it's a good thing for a while you have a line in yours or a moral right this guy are a gentleman let's change gears here michael what about drones how does this you know the west looks intensely violent in that part of the world and the legality of it is very unclear talk about drones. you mean the middle east of afghanistan precisely talking about pakistan. pakistan and i think this is the most troubled and troubling region in the entire world actually for even more so than iran because you have a government in the country that still is meant to

talking about the west assault on the muslim world. i daniel i know you have to run really soon and i want you to finish the point that you made in the first part of the program so please do. thank you. there is volatility of extremism in the muslim world there's violence there's insurrection and outside powers are getting sucked in or want to come in and it's not just western powers there's a theory now in friends among several high ranking politicians that qatar is behind the the islamist rebellion in mali qatar another western power a muslim well isn't that a way to translate that isn't that really yes i do qatar but that's that's an appendage of the west qatar don't you think that they're pretty much on the same page. confuse me its hundred percent muslim country that has islamist goals that is sympathetic to islam is a no it's not part of the worst of all it's it's it's part of saudi arabia if you can put it that way with and with an islamist agenda so what want to have is suddenly what has muslim powers like turkey and qatar and

with cornelleaking west. to give the specific introduction, professor of philosophy and christian practice in new york was a professor at princeton and before that at harvard, new york times best-selling author of numerous books, co-host in the radio show with tavis smiley. there are in this book "the rich and the rest of us." when we sat down in the studio in chicago, two days after the election, i asked cornell west and tavis smiley about the reelection of president obama. i asked them about the fact we are in the president city. he had just flown out the day before and what this next four years means. >> it is morally obscene and spiritually profane to spend billions of dollars on the elections and not have any serious discussion on poverty, trade unions being pushed against the wall, declining wages, the 1% signer doing very well. no talk about drones, dropping bombs on innocent people. we end up with such a truncated discourse as a major problems, ecological catastrophe, climate change, global warming. i

but we would hope it's not a war against islam but there is the perception that the west has made some fundamental mistakes very much and crucially in terms of the message that's been sent around the world there's got to be a consistent approach a consistent message and somehow there's a discord between the message it sends when it's supports rebels in for example in other parts of the world in syria for example who already as we do know supportive . of course in mali it took chooses a completely different path and it's got a short consistent message especially when you have a. jump in here if i can jump in here i mean there is one consistent message there muslims that's the message of western media. well this is a battle of hearts and minds and for that reason the west has failed to be able to win over there's a billion muslims out there who clearly have a voice and in this particular instance it would appear it's the west against muslim countries are on of course it would appear that the the the wars that we've seen across the middle east hasn't helped afghanistan iraq has made thing
