right, what islamophobia have you faced? a lot of islamophobic abuse, it's like micro—aggression so it can be done in the street, on the train ? like what? it is like when you are in a situation where it is emotionally abusive, it is like gas lighting, did that really happen? did what really happened ? did that really happen? did what really happened? i was walking down the street and a man followed me in the street and a man followed me in the crowd and hit me. how and where? did he punch you? he hit me on the arm. i carried on walking because i just thought it's probably a rough area. and it was only when two women behind me were shocked and asked if i was behind me were shocked and asked if iwas ok behind me were shocked and asked if i was ok that i internalised what happened and because i am so used to it, so used to these micro aggression is that we internalise it. it's like we develop compassion fatigue towards certain attacks. if it does not sound outrageous is it that bad? i understand. you have lived as a white brit

industry because surely if you're one of these main superstars of the islamophobia industry that we have your main point of. concentration would be a systems selling. almost i think five billion pounds worth of weapons to the saudi government you know surely you would be aiming your resistance towards the british government since they have people from the british military helping with targeting actually in the operation theaters with the saudis where they're targeting people people in yemen but yet it seems these people these charlatans and sycophants are merely mercenaries for the one percent they want to direct people's islamophobia in a horizontal direction rather than in a vertical direction of course there has been calls now for people to come together and you know and talk and cease fires and whatnot this is after the united states have made huge huge amounts of money in weapons deals you know that trump has been the main ambassador for and of course it's after you know the british policy which is continued from philip. you know tourism is there. and her position is well you k

counterterrorism, one of the recruiting tools of terrorists islamophobia.to challenge that. you know, that is really important. it's not a sort of side issue, it's a front and centre issue. in other areas, you now find that straightforward violent burglary is the number one priority. but that's up to the professionals, the police to make those decisions. sara thornton, the head of the national police chiefs council, says investigating historic cases of sexual abuse is making it harder for forces to properly deal with crimes like burglary. her comments yesterday have been picked up by many of the newspapers today. she also suggested that police forces need to re—focus on what she called core policing — an area that she describes as ‘seriously stretched'. we need to re—focus on core policing. the public expect an effective response to organised crime, to terrorism, to the focus on the vulnerable. but they also expect the vulnerable. but they also expect the basics — responding to emergencies, investigating and solving crime, and neighbourhood policing. it is

he called islamophobia "a propaganda word". those were disclosed by buzzfeed news.and asked ministers to justify his selection for the role. communities are more than just bricks and mortar and planning processes. they are about people, people from diverse backgrounds, and good planning should foster good community cohesion. when was the secretary of state made aware of sir roger's comments that homosexuality is not normal, and comparing homosexuality to incest? when was he aware that sir roger had complained that gay men have an obsession with the young? will he now apologise to the lgbtq+ community for appointing a man that holds these views? sir roger is a leading expert on aesthetics. he was asked to take on an unpaid role as a chair of the commission looking into beauty in the built environment. he is one of the most qualified people in this particular field to do so, and i am pleased that he has accepted that role. as a public intellectual of renown, and author of over 50 books, countless articles and public lectures, he has engaged in a variety of topics, oft

many have accused us of islamophobia. this is not the case. all know that the clash of cultures and civilizations is indeed existing and when it comes anew as it happened back in 2015, it was really alarming. >> reporter: the 2015 crisis, when hundreds of thousands of mostly muslim migrants and refugees fled north into europe, was a tipping point says kovacs. while other governments debated what to do, hungary acted. b >> we havelt a fence, a physical barrier. we have reinforced our border control, thousands oarian policemen and soldiers are securing the border. over 400,000 cross the borders into hungary and passing through hungary that year. today ese numbers are basically down to zero. many say there is no need for the fence becange nobody's cote >> reporr: but you're saying they're not coming because we have a fence. >> sure, but the reason is the other way around. c they are ning because there's the fence. >> it is something that the hungarian government is extremely proud of. it's extrely proud of it's very harsh immigration policy. it's

yet trump is smeared every day as an islamophobia and a hater.k, it is the signal and the noise. look at the signal, he pointed out every day. the noise, i understand, is a grenade. [applause] you guys have been superb. you have practically maybe irrelevant in this debate and that is a sign of a great debate, when the moderator doesn't have to step in. i want to ask a couple questions that i know are on people's minds. david, i will start with you in the midterms on tuesday. critical test of this presidency. he seems to have campaigned at of a populist playbook. ,ard message on immigration some people with a shocking message on immigration. hard message on china and trade. media andtion of the so-called elites. proofn't that a powerful it your opponent here tonight, the effectiveness of those populist means have 2 -- memes have with the american voter? >> we will see how careful they are. i think donald trump's president because of something else he did. steve bannon was there. donald trump campaigned in 2016 as the one republican who would respe

few months we've had the opportunity to cover in a number of human interest subjects including islamophobia i spoke to. the this this this feeling this almost incumbent upon me at the moment just to keep going yes but it doesn't mean to say it's difficult when you have moments when you wonder why you're doing all of this why you feel like you're fighting a world sometimes to no avail i can't wait for my granddaughter to have generations to be frustrated as i am today with a country essentially as a muslim woman i think britain you will know this you travel like i have. to so many parts of the world it's one of the best places to be a muslim woman but not in the political platform not in the political arena during the month of me nineteen members of the conservative party were either expelled or suspended because of the unsavory remarks they meet regarding the muslims we also covered it disturbing rise in anti-semitism i had the privilege of speaking to holocaust survivor living quietly in london for many years what a joy it was to speak to him and i spoke to the chief rabbi with some really

but the idea that islamophobia has increased exponentially since the vote, the idea that hate crimesanswer? i mean, do we keep the borders open so that everybody who wants a place in england can come, is that what you're basically saying? no. did you hear me say that once? well, i wasn't clear, you were describing the landscape, i wasn't clear about what really actually... i need to describe the landscape, what i said from the get—go was, cameron wasn't tough enough on freedom of movement. it's easy to say that. why is it easy to say that? it's what i'm saying! but maybe it was blocked. it's all very well having an argument to something... if you're blocked, your blocked. no, you're not blocked, if you're blocked. if you actually say to them, look, we have looked into this issue properly and if we don't deal with it, i assure you my country's voting leave, he then takes the issue seriously. you touched on it earlier. yeah. you said pretty much everybody actually really felt that the uk was going to vote to stay in. my point exactly! but the thing is, that's notjust the brits. the eu

it's racism and it's anti-blackness and a lot of these things are informing how islamophobia operates, how other kinds of isms and oppressions we are seeing in the world operate. why not build these coalitions that are very diverse in genuine ways, but also inclusive where everybody in that space is able to participate and have a say in how things are operating in that space. that coalition is going to be the new face of the country, whether in 20 years, 30 years. unless we make intentional efforts, we are going to be kept apart in these different silos. we're not -- we have to go out of our way to really build these spaces very intentionally and use these coalitions to deal with the fights that we're facing. in a nutshell i would say that effort has intensified with this new administration to say what is a coalition that has both muslims and non-muslims who are african, african-american, latin, indigenous, asian, and european, white, all these different backgrounds, middle eastern but not just arab, right, whether kurdish, really thinking about these coalitions and to really intensif

islamophobia, black racism, so much more. so when this term is misused whenned a so indicates for palestinian rights are accused wrongly of anti-semitism, it diverts the attention and the work that needs to be done to struggle for quality and against all forms of bigotry and racism. and it's become a term that is just so easily now thrown around where any criticism of israel is ca called anti-semitism. that's so far from reality. luckily we are seeing some support for this even from more mainstream jewish groups like j street to legitimize that you can be critical. unfortunately those groups are not help iing being called a fo of anti-semitism on its own. i think this is our work to really put out the story of what bds is. bds is really to et me it's common sense. i don't want to buy or invest in products that are unethical. and that's whether they are made in settlements or whether they are made in sweat shops. this is just common sense. and we have to frame it within history from the boston tea party to the boycott and so o

to be the minimum you should do to clean up the mess made by racism, homophobia and sexism and islamophobia, seems like the minimum you can do, say we are going to stop looking down on you as a black person, a woman, a gay person, a muslim. we are going to start going eye-to-eye with you. that seems like a perfectly reasonable thing. that doesn't seem to be a good thing to object to. i think it is important that when these groups ask for things, recognition isn't the only thing they are asking for. they are asking for equal pay. they are asking for equal rights. they are asking for the vote. they are asking for things that are not about race, they are about practical things anyone would want to have. again, that seems to be perfectly reasonable. why shouldn't people who have been denied the vote or civil rights ask for them? that seems perfectly acceptable to me. indeed, it would be weird to think that wasn't a reasonable form of politics, to ask the state to treat me properly, and me and my kind, whatever my kind is. again, i find it a bit difficult to know why you should be against that.

and islamophobia. where is the first place donald trump went? [laughter] steve: hang on. hang on.was to bring -- [booing] [laughter] steve: bear with me. the islamic world and reached -- had reached out to us. there had been limited engagement during the obama administration. the obama administration was engaged with iran. the first summit in riyadh was set up to discuss three things they brought up. how do you eradicate islamic terrorism from the face of the earth by cutting off the financing? number two, how did the arab world come together as one with israel to stop the expansion of iran? and number three, we have to go through some form of modernity can you assist us in some way? , we have to do this ourselves. three things that they asked for, even before he won the election. how does trump get to be called a hater. he went over there and said here is how we stop the advance of radical islamic terrorism. it is boeing back on your societies today in western europe and the united states. look at the improvement we have made in just two years. look at the eradication of isis tha

a moment where islamophobia is such a high rate. you don't have to read the koran to love me. look at those and this will help people get beyond whatever fear or stereotypical they might think about. i will uplift you in so many ways. >> reporter: tlaib won her democratic primary in august and is running in michigan's 13th congressional district. if she wins next week, she'll be one of the first muslim women in congress. what was the moment where it hit you? >> i don't think it hit me yet. i think people don't realize how much of a roller coaster it is. i describe it as happy chaos. >> do you believe a muslim wave is coming to congress? >> i'm not for waves, i'm for owning the ocean. not muslims, but women. >> reporter: tlaib joins hundreds of women running for office this year. like man m candidates, she's also a mom. >> don't do that! >> she's a mom, she can't help it. >> reporter: tlaib was born in the mid-'70s in detroit to palestinian immigrant parents. her mom fatima said she always believed her daughter would live the american dream. how does it feel to have your daught

watching the revival of the white power movement, issues were immigration, fear of a brown planet, islamophobiahite supremacists it turned to anti-semitism, these twisted old tropes about jewish control of the government and the media. we saw them drawing from this deep well of twisted lodger that has propelled the movement in the u.s. >> thank you. new american nazis premiers tomorrow night on pbs and online at pbs.org/frontline. >> reverend al, doesn't seem to make a lot of sense. you see david duke sending love notes to donald trump over twitter, going thank you, mr. president, talking about his being a white nationalist. as john meechum brought up, this sort of racism, wallace tried it. it's always a strong starter but it finishes poorly. you just wonder how much longer donald trump is going to go before explicitly calling out this type of hatred and explicitly denouncing david duke and white supremacists and not with a nod and a wink like he's done in the past. >> it is a very, very serious question you raise. dr. martin luther king says the arc of the universe is long but it bends toward

islamophobia. any phobia or ism that they can when they don't get what they want.that position. susan bucher in palm beach county and walker are also going to need to resign or we will find the exact same things happening in 2020 in florida. brian: congratulations on the book and so he apropos what is going on. rick scott joins us live that will be next. a bizarre scene at this airport. why did this guy set his luggage on fire? look at that. ♪ ♪ light them up, up, up ♪ on fire ♪ light them up, up, up ♪ light them up, up, up ♪ on fire ♪ building a better bank starts with looking at something old, and saying, "really?" so capital one is building something completely new. capital one cafes. inviting places with people here to help you, not sell you. and savings and checking accounts with no fees or minimums. because that's how it should be. you can open one from right here or anywhere in 5 minutes. seriously, 5 minutes... this is banking reimagined. what's in your wallet? steve: we are back with a fox news alert. republican rick scott will be florida's next senator. a

islamophobia and its effects on students such as myself. had it not been for my stomacher internship or unparalleled experience with the policy counc council, i would have never had my first real taste of people to people diplomacy. the most powerful tool, therefore, that the national council has endowed me with is knowledge. knowledge of an unbiassed history and reframing of the middle east. i look forward to the next chapter ahead as we will be continuing my spring semester studies in morocco. i will take with me the knowledge, experiences and most importantly the power to be better and to promote morality in face of ideology. thank you so very much.
