. >>> earlier, i spoke to fareed zakaria, host of "fareed zakaria gps." we talked about members of the u.s.- u.s.-led coalition strengthening their resolve to fight against isis. while one member seems to be backing away from taking part in air strikes. listen to this -- first, what do you make of the emirates pulling out, essentially the uae saying they will not contribute any longer to the anti-isis air campaign in the wake of these executions? >> i think it's disgraceful that they've pulled out. it's not entirely clear when they. there are reports that they've pulled out earlier, and their concern was the safety of their pilots. this is a military campaign. and of course there are risks associated with it. the idea that the united states was not providing enough search and rescue which is the ostensible claim is frankly not plausible. it is not borne out by the reporting i've done on the subject. the u.s. was providing search and rescue. this say military operation against? nasty characters. things happen. you know you cannot ensure that pilots who are

joining us now is fareed zakaria, and i'm glad to have you here. i want to listen to what the presidented a had to say today and then i will ask you about it it. >> and the vigilance and the determination on the part of the global coalition to make shurure that they degraded and ultimately defeated. >> what does this mean for the president's strategy going forward to defeat isis? >> well going forward, it is a positive meaning that the president has been trying to convince countries like jordan saudi arabia and turkey to ta take a more active role. i think that with the jordanians he was not having trouble convincing the government but they were weary, because the people of jordan were not adds engaged in the fight frankly, and they thought, well, these are fellow sunnis and they are battling a regime in baghdad which they regarded as a shiite regime in damascus which they regarded as pro-iranian, and they could not see why to engage in this, and now the jordanian people are much more likely to be engaged, and so in general the brutality of isis in

it's this intimidation. >> joining me now, fareed zakaria, the host of cnn's fareed zakaria gps. what a fascinating interview, what a great opportunity to hear from one of the leaders in that part of the world and his battle against isis. what did he have to say about how that battle should unfold? should the u.s. be doing more? does he believe that arab countries have greater responsibility? >> he said time and time again, this is our fight. but he wants help. he wants the international community, not just the united states to unify in support of arab countries, muslim countries that are fighting this particularly of course america, because america has military assets that nobody else does. he's a military man, the king of jordan so he knows very well the battlefield and he understands how we went through talking about how to do it in iraq in syria, but he kept returning to the point. this is an arab fight, this is a fight within the world of islam. he wants the international community to help to be involved to support moderate arab states like his. you know he's been there from

obama says -- fareed zakaria, mr.s that's something he's not going to do. >> lindsay graham says he's bothered by the fact that you won't admit we're in a religious war. others say the white house takes pains to avoid using the term islamic terrorist. my question is are we -- are we in a war with radical islam? >> you know i think that the way to understand this is there is an element growing out of muslim communities in certain parts of the world that have perverted the religion have embraced a violent, almost medieval interpretation of islam. and they're doing damage in a lot of countries around the world. but it is absolutely true that i reject a notion that somehow that creates a religious war because the overwhelming majority of muslims reject that interpretation of islam. they don't even recognize it as being islam. and i think that for us to be successful in fighting this scourge is very important for us to aline ourselves with the 99.9% of muslims who are looking for the same thing we're looking for. order, pe

from former commander in iraq and veteran bob bare and fareed zakaria from fareed zakaria gps. the video that was out, which we're not showing, it seems to be a constant upping of the ante on the brutality to try to attract new recruits. >> it seems like it's an attempt to shock the world to get the attention of the world. but it's also part of a very bizarre sequence of events that i think this is very much plan b or plan c. remember what happened, anderson. they took two japanese hostages. they asked the japanese for $200 million. the japanese said no. they executed one. and then they decided, what we're going to ask for is this failed suicide bomber in jordan. this is the woman involved in a failed bomb in 2005, nine years before isis even existed. everyone forgot about her and no one could figure out why isis was interested in her. i think they needed to make up some demand was the first one hadn't worked. and then that goes awry and you end up with a gruesome barbaric spectacle. i'm not sure it tells you they're smart or strategic because it feels like something that meand

we want to bring in pentagon correspondent barbara starr, also with us fareed zakaria, host of "fareed zakaria gps." barbara, what is being hit by whom and how hard? >> it's important to start with this point. king abdullah of jar dan a full wartime commander in the arab islamic world. he's responsible to his people and making it very clear that these air vix are jordan's position now to fight isis. it's our understanding, the first wave of air strikes concluded several hours ago, perhaps as many as two dozen, just under two dozen jordanian f-16s flying against targets. the jordanians are already saying it was in eastern syria mainly with u.s. air support. the u.s. flying alongside providing the traditional military support, intelligence surveillance, reconnaissance any kind of support function that the jordanians would need. that is typically how this works. the question now will be in the coming hours what success are these air strikes? the jordanians want to inflict significant damage on isis but have they been able to find those isis targets? isis has been trying to melt away. they

i want to bring in fareed zakaria host of the "fareed zakaria, gps." and good evening. he say s thas that by calling them islamic is giving them legitimacy, and what do you think about that? >> well, he is right. the critics are saying that if he can't name the problem properly, we can't fight it, so let's say we name it and call it radical islam, or radical extremist, and whatever the phrase, and so are we going to be cropping the more bombs? more drones? more special ops? he is doing all of the stuff that you would do at the military level to fight it. >> you are i sasaying that it does not matter, because the strat yes won't change? >> it won't matter at the military level, because you are going after the bad guys and isis and go ging after them in groups like them, and then the political strategy of how do you make sure that these muslim communities from which they rare emerging expel them or, you know don't succumb to them and in there he says i don't want to needlessly insult islam, and needlessly call them islamic group, and you can agree or disagree, and again,

fareed zakaria joins us tonight. ng abdullah has a lot of friends in the united states on both sides of the aisle. when king abdullah said i support the president's language here, do you think that has any sway here in the united states? >> well, i would hope it would make people realize what the president was trying to do. it's not as though barack obama doesn't know that this problem we're describing is emanating out of the islamic world. the interview he did with me, he said, look, let's not kid ourselves. this is a problem coming out of muslim communities, but i don't want to give them the legitimacy they're seeking and that's essentially what the king told me. he said, look, let's not confer on them the legitimacy they so desperately seek and don't have in his view from within the world of islam. so i think that, what i hope people understand is that, we're not trying to be college professors here. this is not accurately describing something. it's a political strategy designed to say we're not giving you the sati

joining me is now fareed zakaria, the host of "fareed zakaria, gps." we are getting word now that the uae has suspended the participation in air strikes for against isis. what do you see about this? >> well, there is more of a smoke screen than real because of the slow response to the search and rescue. and this is a shift in the war that is going well for the united states and badly for the isis. the execution, and the brutality of it is masking a reality which is that isis is not doing particularly well on the ground. it is not doing well in iraq. it has not done particularly well in syria, and though there it is more mixed. they did lose the battle of coe banny, ni-- kobani and remember that the hypothesis is that they took two japanese hostages. why would they do that? because japan is irrelevant? it is because japan is so rich and so maybe they are not doing as well on the money-making side as we think. so all nin all, maybe isis is not doing as well as we might think. >> and so the video of the pilot being burned to crowds -- why would they do th

cnn's fareed zakaria sat down with the president during his trip to inld yeah and asked him if this hado with house speaker john boehner inviting prime minister netanyahu to address congress. >> reporter: last week when it was announced that the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu is going to come to washington and do a joint session of congress at the invitation of the republican speaker of the house, many people are saying this is a rebuttal of your arguments about negotiations with iran, the possible deal with iran. do you think it's appropriate for him to come in this manner at this time to washington? >> well, you know, i'll let mr. boehner answer that and mr. netanyahu. i speak with prime minister netanyahu all the time. you know, we're declining to meet with him. i'm declining to meet with him simply because our general policy is we don't meet with any world leader two weeks before their election. i think that's inappropriate, and that's true with some of our closest allies. david cameron who's got an election coming up recently came to visit because we insisted if he want

welcome to all of you around the united states and the world, i'm fareed zakaria.have a terrific show for you today. first up is the self-declared islamic state really islamic and what's in a name anyway. >> al qaeda, isil and groups like it are desperate for jittery. legitimacy. >> h

fareed zakaria joins me now.'ve been speaking with christiane amanpour in london about the effect of what isis has purportedly done, the manner in which they have killed this man, releasing the videos showing exactly how it happened online and whether this will have the effect of angering a coalition, awaking sleeping giants or the opposite. >> i hope it does what you're suggesting. i hope when it is reported in the arab world, it is reported with that hadith, with that front and center. it is disallowed to burn a body -- even a dead body, it is considered sacrilegious. it's always been dust to dust, the body must go back into the ground. and what i hope happens is that people realize this is not happening to some faraway western crusaders. this is happening to an arab. what might change the dynamic here is that people will focus on the reality that groups like isis, al qaeda, most of their victims are locals, are arabs, are muslims. and that's sometimes forgotten because the rhetoric is all about battling the cr

bret, let's go to this idea of the use of islamic, because some of the president's defenders, fareed zakaria, for example, the columnist says that this is a semantic side show, it isn't really important, and we're focusing on the wrong thing. do you agree with that? >> no, i don't. i think it's very important to recognize that part of the reason that islamic state has been so successful politically and militarily is because it is very much islamic -- its vision, its aims its method its theology is all deeply rooted in islam, and it's simply factually in error to suppose that somehow, it has nothing to do with islam. nobody argues that it speaks for a majority or even a significant minority of muslims but you can't really confront this kind of enemy and understand why it has been as successful as it is if you don't understand the culture and the theology from which it is springing. so, what the president is doing is engaging in a semantic diversion, which takes our eye off the ideological power of this movement. >> what about this idea, dorothy, offered by the president, secretary of state to

what concerns me is not just in the prayer breakfast but with fareed zakaria he uses the word medievaly totalitarian ambition and characteristics. this is a problem with the contemporary world and i want him to engage in temporary problems even though there's a place for historical contents. >> father beck he's been incredibly careful not to use labels like radical islam and you've seen some politicians, senator kelly ayotte saying we need to define our enemy. we need to say what it is. others are saying look this is nothing to do with islam. where do you fall on that? some people of certain religions can do horrific things that have happened in christianity in the past. >> i agree with what he's saying. he's saying the war is not with islam. it's with extremism. it's existed in many religions. i think he's trying to focus the conversation -- you have 1.6 million muslims. you can't categorize them with the same brush. i think he's saying be very careful about extremism not religion. >> but that's not what he said. >> he's saying you can't categorize muslims in this way. >> when you lis

joining us is fareed zakaria, and a former extremist who is now using his life's work to battle extremeism. fareed, does the words matter? >> well, if you can say, yes, of course it is a scholar it is radical extremism. and he is not a scholar, but a political leader, and he is trying to ask, what is the most constructive way that ki frame this so that i have bringing and attached myself to the large body of muslims in countries like indonesia who are law abiding and nonterrorist and don't demean them and their faith and isolate the terrorist, and so i will not call them islamic leader and i will describe them what i want to and they are terrorists. and in other words, if you are a scholar you would say, yes, most of the violence is coming out of islam, and fair to call it islamic extremism, and the president says i won't legitimatize them by calling them islamic in a way, so in the sense, they are both right, but the president is a political leader, and not trying to get to the political factual correctness here. >> and so, what do you make of this? because as much of it being a military

fareed zakaria is here with many. there's a lot to tackle here. lots of ifs and maybes. in one sense this is from the jordanian minister saying this is a pr stunt, a way for isis to drive this wedge and have america and american hostage saying this 26-year-old was killed by an air strike. if they take credit for burning a man alive, why not take credit for a woman? >> because they're hoping it will make the united states upset with jordan. this is a miscalculation with isis. united states is very understanding of messiness of war. we unfortunately lose a lot of our brave men and women. america loses a lot of brave men and women in friendly fire. things happen in war. i don't think even if this were true and it's very important. we don't know if this is true. even if it were it's not going to make the united states feel jordan in some way let them do you think. this is war. war is hell and complicated and messy. clearly jordanians wouldn't have intended this. as we keep pointing out, how on earth would you know this is a jordanian plane? often these are multiple nationali

fareed zakaria asked president obama this when he sat down with him directly because he had been takingying that religion has a part in it. the president at the time said he didn't want to quibble over labels. how does the choice of words, the language impact the fight against isis? why does it matter? >> i think a long time ago it was pointed out how we describe things is important for the truth of the matter. i think that it is simply a fact that these are islamist which is a different word than islamic. islamic is about the religion. islamist is a politicized view of this which has a theological strain. these are extremist militants. they are extraordinarily violent. they make up probably 000.1% of the muslim population. they are muslim and they believe they have certain islamic beliefs that are related to things that are in the koran or related to things the prophet muhammad is supposed ed mohammad is to have said. >> i want to talk about this and bring this point up. it's being called disturbingly effective. isis exploits the power of social media sending up to 90,000 tweets a day

. >> our fareed zakaria with u.s.dent barack obama there. >>> police say a 3-year-old boy in the u.s. state of new mexico shot his father and a pregnant woman over the weekend while looking for an ipad. >> he apparently fired only one shot. that went through his father's hip and struck the woman in her shoulder. officers say the boy of digging across the woman's purse and came across the gun. prosecutors are deciding if the couple will face any charges. >> just received a phone gradual probation and parole. and they're interested in talking to the male who is a viced felon, by the way, why he was around a firearm. >> the boy and his younger sister are in state custody while authorities investigate. we've heard about the stories before. the kid accidentally getting hold of a gun and shooting someone. thankfully no one of killed. >> this wasn't fatal. the last one we reported on was. it is a concern. >> we also want to bring you this story -- a sum woman found herself probably the last place she wanted to be while going

i want you to listen to part of an exchange between president obama and cnn's own fareed zakaria. >> i reject a notion that somehow, that creates a religious war because the overwhelming majority of muslims reject that interpretation of islam. they don't even recognize it as being islam. and i think that for us to be successful in fighting this scourge, it's very important for us to align ourselves with the 99.9% of muslims who are looking for the same thing we're looking for. >> there's a reluctance by president obama and before him, president bush to make this a war against radical islam or anything associated with islam. a reluctance to identify this as part of the religion. what's your take on this? some people say this reveals a blindness by this administration and the previous one. >> i think the technical term is islamist in order to distinguish it from the religion but to explain that this is a political movement. it's an ideology. an islamist ideology. it's important to make that distinction. i think with that it allows us to identify exactly what we are struggling against w

second, by the way, i think fareed zakaria pointed this out, we would be allowing 0.0019% of a particular religious group to define the entire group. that makes no sense. beyond that the second reason is, it actually has the potential to alienate the people that you need on the front lines combating this problem. that's exactly what we heard from ministers and other delegates in town last week. >> grab david and george somebody, greg you're coming next. >> thanks, tony. this has been very interesting. last week the u.n. special envoy in town for syria. i believe you met with him as well. he said in a private briefing that iran has been supporting syria regime to the tune of $35 billion annually which is an astonishing figure, almost 10% of iran's gdp. i'm wondering if you can comment on that? i'm also wondering can you comment has there been evolution in iran's regional policies since the election. we've seen increased in iran and united states on the nuclear issue. in the last year and a half have you seen any difference in their regional policies. >> i haven't seen a difference. if anyt

. >>> joining us in the studio fareed zakaria, host of "fareed zakaria gps."rd from the pentagon that the iraqis are planning an assault on mosul this spring. that's iraq's second largest city. what reason do we have to believe that the iraqis are up to this? this is the same iraqi military that melted away from mosul six, seven months ago. >> that's a very good question. it's important to know why they melted away. they melted away not because they don't know how to fight and they have weapons. they know that. it's not a technocratic problem. they are composed of sunnis. they didn't want to fight for the baghdad government because they think that's a shy identify government -- shiite government that oppresses them. has that been solved? if the baghdad government has the confidence and loyalty of its soldiers look the iraqi special forces were trained in jordan and the jordanians are very good at this stuff. the kurds are very good. there are a lot of very good tighters ers fighters here. the larger question is is there an iraq to which they feel loyal. the ju

a long-standing argument among -- in foreign policy circles which surrounds the question that fareed zakaria asked not long after the attacks why do they hate us? basically, there are two camps in this why do they hate us school. there's the camp that has made the argument fairly consistently that they hate us because of western policy in the middle east. that is to say, because of american support for israel and for dictatorships like hosni mubarak's regime in europe or the late musharraf of iran or the saudi's energy policies in the middle east our involvement in the gulf war, tanker wars, obviously the more recent iraq wars, there's a list of policies that you can list and you can say, well this is the problem. if you change the policy and this is what would you hear from ron paul but you'd also hear it from people on the political left, if you change the policy you largely remove the problem, which is to say that terrorism is a function, is a reaction to western policy in middle eastern countries. and the second side of that debate has said no in fact, it's more fundamental and it's real

this out last week in his national security strategy, he laid it out in his interview with cnn's fareed zakaria he laid it out in his state of the union speech. the president is clearly very nervous about the use of military force, particularly ground forces, without a lot of allies, without a lot of legal backing, without the support of you and everybody else. sometimes that's necessary, sometimes that's smart. we could have used a little bit more of that a decade ago. but there are times when action is necessary. i'm concerned we may not be moving fast enough. >> just ask you as well, how do you think the isis leadership and other interests who are completely antithetical to our interests in the region look at what's happening in the white house and what's happening up here? >> that's a very good point and i was about to use it saying any restrictions on the authorization is going to encourage the enemy. don't encourage the enemy. but fair is fair. these guys are so busy dodging precision munitions right now that i don't think they'll spend a lot of time. what i worry about is iran, russia, c
