dr. amira bennison: whilst in mecca he is very much a religious preacher he talks much more about issues such as the end of time, you know about morality, about of justice and these kinds of things, but once he moves to medina he is the functioning leader of a community, he therefore has to get much more involved in the day to day running of a community. how people interact with each other; how people manage inheritance; how people greet each other even. rageh omaar: the revelations could be quite explicit - all muslims should pay a tax to support the sick and needy. or they could be general guidelines about how to treat others to promote justice and human dignity. muhammad used these principles in deciding matters brought to him as the ruler of medina. over time a moral code was revealed to muhammad based on ideas of social justice for all. in the qur'an, it was called sharia or 'the way to know god'. prof. tariq ramadan: we have three verses where the concept is revealed in one way or another, on one form or another. and in fact what was understood by the prophet and his companions is that what they were trying to implement was in fa

order to make these moral arguments and in order to have the numbers to show, i think like they did in 1963, that this is about shared values of a large group of people. >> one thing that dr understood very well is that you linked civil rights with human rights. linked it with union rights, economic rights and libbabor rights. it was a coalition effort. labor unions, civil rights organizations, religious community, retirees, students. that same coalition has to come together once again. it is not like we disappeared, but we have it rebuild and pay more attention to it. >> it is coming back. >> it is. no question. >> you can look at the movement and ref regard barber, our great leader down there. but you can look across the country. we had a choice when the tea party rose up. we can all run back to our bushing houses but we decided to adopt the motto of the three musketeers and say all for one and one for all. >> and coming together. >> and winning as a result. >> let's hope the president speaks to that and gives us a call to action we are looking for on wednesday. ben, lee, thank you so much for joining me. >> thank you, karen. >> be sure to follow us on facebook and twit

moral absolutes the president has laid out. that is a heck of a gamble the president is taking given the relationship with the senate and house. >> dr. jim walsh, go ahead and weigh in, professor. >> i am stunned. i thought i correctly predicted we would get the decision. he's made the decision that an attack should be made. i did not see the second piece coming at all. politically he's gone all-in. either he's doing this out of as david suggests out of a position of weakness or out of a perceived position of strength. he figures, oh, yeah? i'm raising you on this, and i dare you to vote against this. you know, members of congress, they like to be consulted. they want to be able to have their say, but when it comes to voting on war, they get very nervous because what no one knows is how it will go. >> i mean, i suspect some of them actually don't want this vote. >> absolutely. >> even some of the democrats, but the democratic leadership, nancy pelosi and harry reid said we will provide cover for you. there's some members of our caucus who don't like this. you're going to get support. the american people rally around any president th

treated access to lyndon johnson's white house for the moral clarity that there needed to be anti-poverty and job legislation in the united states. dr. king died advocating for 1,000 black men who are sanitation workers in tennessee. and the reason he's assassinated is because dr. king is bringing together white and black latinos to come together to washington. he's trying to bend the nation's wealth into effective legislation. some people talk about dr. king as a nonviolent activist. she's using non-violence as a tactic to bend the nation's well to save the soul of america. so we can't have a black president because he's black we are unwilling to say look this is the agenda that we need. fees one, two or three things and you have to push for this both rhetorically and public policy lies. he gave a great speech yesterday but then he told us as president of the united states she can't do anything about it. and we are supposed to say that's a good? that makes no sense. you can't find an executive order and make a speech about racial profiling. you can't say that we have to bring black and white and latinos and asians and all these peo

dr. king and the civil rights movement that they understaood our success was rooted in the fact as americans we had core absolute shared values. i think it's been the advance of moral movement. the second paragraph of the declaration of independence says we hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal my dad used to say was fancy way of saying that, you know, that god has invested all of us with human dignity. and some of the great civil rights leaders understood was that it was by discovering the dignity of others the respect that we came together and made the civil rights period one of the defining periods in american history. i do think it starts with the fact that we have in 237 years made progress but as lincoln says we're not a perfect union. but we are a perfectible union. that's why, i think on this show, this segment, we can agree that we must attack head-on this assault on human dignity. >> that echos a lot of what you had to say about this being not very dignified at all. as you talk about progress, are we moving in the right direction because 50 years ago versus now the time period juan looked at with this music and time since the

moral leader of the nation. i have the pleasure to present to you dr. martin luther king.plause] i am happy to join with you today what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation. [applause] five years ago, a great american in the shadow we stand today signed the emancipation proclamation. this momentous and decree came as the first light of hope who have been in the flames of withering and justice. it came as the daybreak to end the long nights of their captivity. but 100 years later, the negro still is not free. >> we will be able to transform the course of the nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. we will be able to work together come to pray together and struggle together, go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together knowing that we will be free one day. this will be the day we will be able to sing with new meaning my country to is of the tuthill sweet land of liberty for my father died on the pilgrims side. let freedom ring and if america is to be a great nation this must become true so let freedo

we have a moral obligation to press on because of our love for america and our love for the democratic way of life, we must keep moving. in 1956 to theo mall in 1963 to america today, drking's message endorse. endors.key -- we must keep moving. our heritage and our hope. at the time of the march, there was no landmark legislation advancing civil or voting rights. within two years after the march, there would be a historic civil rights act and a voting rights act. that is why i think it is very important congress observe this .nniversary and what followed there were signs of progress but not enough. at the time of the march, there were five african-american members at the house of -- today, 43 led by the chairwoman. progress andgn of things like that, it is not enough. that is what is not enough. [applause] at the time of the march, john lewis was the chair of the student nonviolent committee. today, he was -- is distinguished, very senior and respected member of the house of representatives, representing the district of georgia. that is a sign of progress and we want more. at the time of march, the congressional black caucus did not exist. today, it is well identified

moral traitors. we are silent about that. --m sorry to be the skunk [laughter] if dr.ing were alive today, he would step on somebody's sacred issues. when he brought the civil rights movement with the peace movement. rove labeled him a communist. the naacp who castigated him. i was on the dais and i was yce castigatedn ro dr. king. he was a man who was not just a popularreflected opinion or the consensus of the majority but he was a man who was willing to take the risk to shape it so i hope some of our leaders today that we will not be silent about these things that walk around. thank you.
