most americans conflate arab and muslim first of all they don't even realize that iranians don't consider themselves arabs or aren't arabs or they're persian so rightly so and and and that there are many arabs are of the world you know asia and in the americas there's. so can you talk a little bit about the arab identity and the muslim identity particularly in that region of the world you know with which dominate it with what's what's important for us to know it's really a big question because you know i know we use this term the muslim world one point two one point five billion muslims around the world there are a lot of muslims around the world obviously but it's not a world and they're different and they're different cultures and different languages and different geography and so forth and most arabs as you pointed out most muslims. as you pointed out or not our there are roughly three hundred fifty million arabs now one of the things about our business that one thing that binds them beyond the common history and beyond the institution of the arab league which is modest by the way is t

discuss american opinion that he will also discuss the changing of opinion about iran in the arab and the muslim world where the polls show a precipitous decline in support. dr. james zogby as the president of the arab-american institute and is managing director of zogby research services with predictions of american presidential elections. they gained a lot of notoriety and attention for their predictions in the 1996 where the final poll came within one-tenth of the actual results. they've also achieved spectacular accuracy predicting other presidential collections. now, i want to say i think it's a real honor to be invited to speak at the economic club but how many people can say my younger brother also spoke at the dee-tal-ya economic club. and his brother who i mentioned earlier was here in the fall i believe in the timber and spoke before us. so i'm very happy to have both of you here. but they've been very successful with presidential elections but i think what is particularly significant here is that they have been very successful in conducting polls and measuring opinions outside of the

entry or as we've been seeing happening in a parallel issue of the denial of entry in permitting arab muslims to fly into the u.s. for whatever reason they end up on a no no fly list but you would start seeing a president where these individuals that bring these suits forward have just a simple denial they would no longer be able to appear for their depositions and appear for court hearings and it's important to keep in mind that it's not only government officials that are responsible will happen not to worry about it also doesn't tilt and does involve some corporations such as this one they have their hands dirty and in need to pay for what they've done it's amazing what you see you know the people at the top he's kind of mocking them at fox news so they're blaming rumsfeld i mean he really is the person at the top of this this pyramid of course they can throw people into the bus but it doesn't change what really happened so is it a question of just raising awareness pressuring homeland security i mean really what are the chances of then relinquishing their hold on this case and what can peo

first of all begin by condemning the violence and mourning the death of a wonderful friend to arabs and muslims, i knew people who knew him, he was a cal grad like myself. the irony is you are killing a fripd. but that's the nature of mob violence and the ideology of hate. and unfortunately hate begets hate and that's what we're really seeing on both sides. put out an inflammatory film and people who are willing to do the dance who will confirm what the film is saying and when does this cycle end? we see this in schools as well, unfortunately. we see it on the internet way too much as you mentioned. look at any article, i am most familiar with articles about muslims but it seems like something happens to people when they go on the net, they turn into horrible people and say horrible things because nobody knows who they are. i think it obviously begins in the home, computers should be in open spaces, parents should have the ability to see what their children are doing and this goes through high school and then just the environment that we create in our schools and our communities where it's not

pieces like before the mr machetes arrays which talks about this is a manic dehumanization of the arab and muslim male post nine eleven something that happened long before the black and latino an indigenous male in with a refuse you know the ultimate victim at the end of the day is not the person with the best it's not the person in the tank is not the person with the f. sixteen it's the iraqi mother that didn't ask for her village to be bombed it's the afghan father that was just trying to put food on the table as the afghan school child just trying to get an education so i think that it's important that we act and we recognize our own role and it's not to say that people aren't preyed upon socio economically but whether it's refusing service in the israeli military or the american military there are a million dead iraqi people five and a half million refugees birth defects or a five hundred percent and that is real life you know just because it's not boston or newtown and we refused to look at it doesn't mean that the mass graves aren't as deep doesn't mean the devastation that was brought to i

if you mixup between ethnic, the arab muslim are suny. -- or suni. you know what? i am open-minded. my favorite saying -- host: you have given us a lot there. let's get a response. guest: stressing what the calller talked about represents the real frustration. -- i think the calller was talking about represents a real frustration here did you spend a lot of time among the refugees and there is a real frustration with the united states of we are being massacred, the united states is not doing anything. just on the humanitarian level there is a rage that is horrific. the united states is not doing anything to stop the tragedy. some of president obama is close eds -- close aides, whether it is mrs. rice or others that need to protect civilians. it is interesting to watch. some of the officials have this history sitting on a policy that is sitting it out as this horrific violence goes forward and this humanitarian tragedy. there is still a question that the iranians, the bush administration and the obama administration have framed hard conflict as a regional conflict, a battle for influ

israel as a target in the middle east so the true victim in the middle east is suze aggressor of the arab muslim world and they have left for this particular bandwagon and in written you see the established church is composed of england as well as scotland. scotland has a different church from england but they are theological broadly on the same page. . .

and now producing a film on arab women in the arab spring in focusing on my life and energy on arab and muslim women because they feel this is the most important thing. if you want to stay in touch, please let me know. we need to find our voice within any other time. this is a critical time for us. that's where i get inspired. when you go to the arab world, the younger white men say the older generation was given advice and taken away and now we need to iron it and is to be part of our system and were going to work on that. so that's why i'm optimistic despite the challenge happening in the middle east. how do we create a safe in a space? the way his work as a first knock on the doors and knocking on each story saying this is overdoing. the song is still in my head. [singing] where women for women. so we do that and then recall for a community service, a community meeting where we announce in front of every man woman this is overdoing. transparency is the best thing you can do. do you approve us working in your community? if they say yes, we say. then we create safety because now it's become a

there's a whole chapter in the book about the way in which under sharia law throughout the arab and muslimworld there's lots of penalties under color of law that we would not accept in any way of being proportionate. beheading, dismemberment, lashing, stoning. so just because of to call it measure for measure doesn't mean we have to accept measure for measure. we should be able to know what measure for measure looks like. and your third point is, i just don't, i think it's patronizing to tell the victim, oh, you don't know, you don't know, you will feel a lot better with half a loaf live. i think this is what the book is responding to. you know you're one of my heroes, incredibly well-intentioned but ultimately patronizing and i don't know how many prosecutors have ever been victimized. people speak so smug about what we should be doing and very few people have actually and victimize and say look, i can totally understand why someone needs to feel satisfied. >> you want measure for measure and i think we tried to provide that in the criminal justice system. i'm a criminal defense lawyer to

true victim in the middle east which is israel, the true tyrants and true aggressor which is the arab muslimurch of scotland has leapt on to this bandwagon. very distressing it is too but in britain you see the established church, britain is composed of england and scotland, scotland has a different church from england, england has the church of england, scotland as the church of scotland but as i understand it, theological broadly on the same page, they have broadly the same view of the world, broadly this same view of the middle east and israel's role in the middle east and therefore the mainstream, the established church in britain, church of scotland, had this view of israel which is a view that i think in america is true of your more liberal churches, presbyterians, churches like that, evangelical churches are much more well disposed towards israel. in britain we don't have that kind of balance. we don't have so many evangelical churches who remain, let's put it this way, scriptural the faithful. the church of england looks down at scripture as being only believed by those who are basic

victim in the middle east, which is israel, becomes the true tyrant, true aggressor which is the arab muslim world becomes the victim. and the church of scotland has leapt onto this particular bandwagon, and very distressing it is too. but in britain you see the established church, and britain is composed of both -- consists of england as well as scotland. scotland has a different church from england, and england has a church of england, scotland has a church of scotland. but they are, as i understand it, theologically broadly on the same page. and they have broadly the same view of the world. they have broadly the same view of the middle east and israel's role in the middle east. and, therefore, the mainstream, the established churches in britain, church of england, church of scotland have this view of israel which is the view that i think in america is true of your more liberal churches, the presbyterians and churches like that whereas your evangelical churches are much more well disposed and, indeed, passionately well disposed towards's reel. now, in britain -- towards israel. now, in bri

tony blair initiated a policy of intervention legal intervention in the arab world in the muslim world and the policy was followed by the conservatives. what we use a combination of problems of integration with these us troops but it is foreign policy. or it's all about foreign policy the london mayor boris johnson he said the british foreign policy shouldn't be to blame and the islamic faith should not be to blame but clearly some are saying that the islam faith is pushing people to do this. yes i mean those people would be deeply ignorant of the is around faith or of course any other faith if they think that there's something unique about it which leads to terrorist violence though of course there isn't time london is an extraordinary experiment in multiculturalism in immigration. it's probably the most diverse area in the history of man and occasionally things do go drastically wrong that is not due to multiculturalism is alarm or foreign policy it is due to the fact that if you put a certain amount of humans in a city together some of them will turn out to be quite insane and other

supporters of islamic law and they want to impose islamic law people muslim or non-muslim, willing or unwilling throughout the arab and muslim lands. they do this trying to win people over locally. in benghazi they ran the hospital as the segment before noted. they have also reappeared in benghazi since the beginning of this year, manning checkpoints, allegedly stopping illegal immigrants and drug trade but, really aiming to recruit, they even have a facebook page, aiming to recruit young people and win the local population over to their radical agenda of imposing islam on the population and fighting western and including american interests wherever they can encounter them. >> i read this on the air yesterday. this is something from the state department, a press release, about terrorist designation for ansar al-sharia as an alias for al qaeda in the arabian peninsula. but within the press release, ironically released a couple weeks of at terrorist attack in benghazi the press release makes distinguishment between ansar al-sharia in yemen and the group in libya, almost suggesting they're different. while one group

because he was not the only one that the young generation in the arab and muslim world will look at. the arab spring gave the young generation another direction, the direction of tahrir square. because tahrir square was much more -- the liberals are they spoke in tahrir square about freedom, democracy, rule of law, human dignity. this was much more attractive than jihadi. unfortunately, tahrir square was hijacked, and the arab world is going to another season, not so much the spring, maybe the winter. but the arab spring, once again, in the short run give al qaeda a lot of opportunities. weapons from all over the place. libya is a big warehouse that now spread all over the middle east. syria, iran, so a lot of money, a lot of weapon, a lot of shelter to build their bases. but i think in the long run that people of career -- tahrir square will come there. this is a phenomenon that cannot be put back into the basement. the young generation of arabs are on the website. they can see how other nations are living. you cannot tell them stories. they know what's going on. they want to live, a

note that -- note, too, that not all arabs are muslim and not all muslims are arabs. for example, there are christian abs who arengerseted in egypt, in iran, in iraq, in afghanistan, in places like libya, where we help radicals ake over and have given way to people who just want to worship god. being persecuted. it is tragic what has happened and the blindness that has okurred. and it's -- that as occurred and it's embarrassing. and particularly embarrassing when i embrace family members who have lost lowed ones and -- in benghazi -- who have lost ved ones, in benghazi, or on 9/11/2001, when a family member told me secretary clinton advised them, what we now know is at the time she knew very ea s advised them, hey, we're going to get the guy that made that video, as if that was going to give them some comfort. they weren't out to kill someone. they weren't out to get somebody. but they do want justice. and it turned out the secretary knew at the time she said that that it wasn't about a video. or as part of confusing attempting to confuse the issues and mistakes that

[applause] so, thank you, all. we have time for a few questions, and, again, they can be either for me or montiff. i ask before you talk, wait for the microphone. thank you. anything? >> i'm curious if you got any sense of anything specific they were looking for in hiring a brand new set of faculty? so for all the faculty teaching, especially with it being brand new, were there anything -- any trends that you noticed in who they hired? >> the school has been largely staffed by people who have been around for years, and they've, well, one hire made in the administrative level, administrative ranks was a guy who is no longer there, amar, and he used to work in technology, and he had the management skills they wanted, so there is that struggle of there, and i think omar represented that. you have all these guys who, in many cases, studied overseas, don't have -- don't necessarily have the administrative chops to put together a liberal arts college, but do have the scholarship so

arabic. it's called. welcome back the brutal machete of a british soldier in london the allegedly motivated by radical islam has already spot to say in attacks on muslims extra police were sent to muslim areas after dozens of islamophobia constituents were reported including vandalism at mosques and a number of muslims including children being abused in the street my colleague bill dodd discussed the extent to which muslims and immigrants are being blamed with in editor of politics u.k. and called us to think yeah from the right wing british national party there's acts of terrorism really conducted by the far right you very generously describe the b.m.p. is a right wing party they're not right wing they're far right they're a fascist party. they perpetrate against mosques against property the threats against muslims these are also acts of terrorism these are also acts of violence by non-state actors for political means but i've got to learn from and i have to do something to do with with my how to help like honestly think that i say sure is done by right wing fanatics and i have to convert us all to. the other person who spoke in the signori completely

muslim jihad terrorists for who they are. i've identified at the outset of the so-called arab spring this administration's foreign policy blundersand how those blunders have contributed into turning the middle east into a devastating, evil, jihadist earthquake. >> so the seeking of democratic governance is an evil jihadist earthquake. at least we now know what it is, jonathan. >> uh, yeah. clearly she's forgotten that the people in the middle east, particularly in egypt and across the region, are pushing for self-determination, to be able to decide for themselves rather than, you know, living under autocratic governments. you know, this -- again, you mentioned congressman bachmann and her -- what's her -- not allegiance. but her desire, her interest in education. clearly, maybe when she leaves congress, she can take a step back and educate herself on a whole lot of things. >> yeah. professor peterson, speaking of her period in congress, she sponsored 58 bills. precisely one passed the house. she was never chair of either a subcommittee or a committee. she missed more than 10% of roll call votes. that's more than five times the c

muslim brotherhood. that is something not in doubt. it is palpable if you read the arab press. everybody knows that their popularity is in decline. my question is what is happening on the opposition side? there is also the sense that the opposition is in political disarray. they haven't gotten their act together. even if they were to participate in the upcoming elections they won't be able to translate the into victories the popular anger that is muslim brotherhood is facing. so that's my first question. my very quick second question, if i may, is about the issue of foreign support and foreign funding. i understand that many of the youth movement in the opposition want to hold onto their ideals that prompted them to take to the street in the first place but there is also a degree of reality politic that is required. the muslim brotherhood has very strong foreign supporters including very well to do arab governments in the gulf. how do you suggest that the opposition find these resources if they're unwilling to reach out and accepting foreign assistance. >> that links up well wi

>> we've seen, you know, egypt with the muslim brotherhood, libya and northern africa, now we're looking at syria, perhaps jordan and saudi could be next. the arabould be turning into a winter that i think poses a great risk to the homeland as well. i will tell you this, he does talk a tough game about going against in a military way against some of these franchises. but when he calls for repeal of the authorize for -- >> i have to go back and look at the wording, but i think he called for reworking it. that the basis for the war in afghanistan -- nonetheless. >> i watched it last night to get the specific language. and he does say we need to look at it again, but also repeal. and i think if you repeal that, i'm not for occupying countries. i don't think anybody is right now. but the idea that we can't have a counterterrorism footprint to respond to the future bin ladens of the world, i think that's dangerous. if you're talking about repealing the authorization for the military force, then you're basically tying the president's hand on his own i guess because he's not going to want sto use any special forces to go after any future threats. >> i
