>> well, islam -- islamic teaching is balanced between the economic and the wealth and the spiritual well-being. so both have to go hand in hand. and when people focus only on the economic advancements without the spirituality islam says that will take them eventually to their own direction. >> imam, you know that as this program proceeds we're going to be talking about what the koran says about jesus. >> yes, sir. >> and i think our audience is going to be quite surprised about what the koran does say about jesus. and how much it reveres jesus, while not, of course, assuming that he is the son of god. but that he is a prophet and he is a divine prophet, if a sense without actually having divinity we'll get to that? a moment. but you see opposite a gentleman that has been sitting patiently. he's southern baptist and he's a pastor here in washington, d.c., correct? >> true. >> do you have thoughts on anything we've been talking about here? notably the impact on current affluence on spirituality? >> yeah, i think in an important sense what you're saying is true. i think in the deepest

being muslim, one of the basics of islam is to be tolerant. you do not impose your belief on the others. not at all. >> but if there is a stereotype against the arab world, there is certainly a stereotype in the west toward islam. >> this is what we have to deal with. me and you, to just wipe out this picture about muslims and islam. we look to oman as a peaceful country, as an oasis that is open to all people and all nations. we believe it is based on openness and bridging though relations with all nations and all countries, having cooperation with them based on mutual interests, based on benefits for all people. we believe in a dialogue. that is the ultimate of all people. when i talk about oman, we have to let people know about what is taking place here. the good development, the coexistence, the tolerance. this generalization, the stereotypes, the bad picture about the people here in the middle east. people tended to be the enemy of what they ignore. they look to the whole area that is a closed area, an area of intolerance. if we talk abou

we are not at war with islam. we are at war with al-qaeda, its affiliates, and its adherence, and that's how we concentrate our effort. >> senator lieberman? >> thanks, mr. chairman. i want to ask two questions that come off of the report that our senate committee did after our extensive investigation of the killings of fort hood. the first builds on what chairman king was pursuing. we found that major nadal made statements either informally and in a lecture he gave to other members of the army at walter reed which were provocative, talking about really showing he had radicalized the violent islamist extremism, and yet, none of the person -- personnel in the army who heard the statements reported them or attempted to do anything to raise the question about whether this individual really should be in the u.s. army before doing somebody great damage. one of the recommendations in our report was the pentagon begin to train members of the u.s. military and signs of radicalization to islamist extremism, both obviously

the islamic countries will form of government. it is not a better thing in terms of trying to bring new blood in the mixture. on the other hand, it does not have the power to go too far. i do not think we have to worry about an islamic re revolution taking place. >> when people talk about this, they worry about will it be a secular government or islamic government? it does it make any difference in the long run, or is the best of both possible worlds a little bit of both? that is the way those countries operate. >> if you accept what is quite clear now, that you cannot have democracy -- you cannot have free elections in this part of the world without islamic parties playing a very important part, then the best thing that can happen is a coalition governments that put secular parties to work. we should not have any illusions that you can both have elections and keep the islamic out of the political approach. take a let's enlarge the canvas a little bit, because the united states and pakistan came to be at another crossroads because

many muslim americans claimed of a continuing rise of anti-islamic discrimination. peter king sponsored hearings on what he called the radicalization of american muslims. there was acrimonious debate in several communities over proposed bans again sharia or islamic law. at the same time, the 9/11 anniversary highlighted many projects where diverse faith communities have come together in new ways. several humanitarian disaster stretched the resources of fa faith-based groups. they continued efforts in haiti after last year's devastating earthquake and cholera epidemic and offered aid in japan. they helped millions affected by a major famine in east africa. there were also challenges here at home with deadly tornadoes, severe flooding and a rear east coast earthquake that caused an estimated $15 million worth of damage at washington national cathedral. ♪ but 2011 brought some occasions for celebration as well. christians commemorated the 400th anniversary of the king james version of the bible, and in rome on a record-breaking timetable, pope john paul ii was beautifi

although a more radical islamic party came in a strong second. the real tension in egypt now is over the role of the military, how long will it stay in power? the headlines said it all. osama bin laden, the most notorious terrorist in history shot and killed by american forces. the discovery that he had been hiding in plain sight in a military town in pakistan was an important milestone in the fight against terrorism. but the arab spring had shown that the al qaeda ideology was already a spent force in the arab world. relegated to remote corners like yemen and somalia. it's the worst drought the region has seen in 60 years and it's left more than 10 million people in desperate and dire straits. where this summer we were the first american network to report on the looming disaster there. a dying child, a mother grieving, a father helpless. they are the victims of what aid officials are calling the worst humanitarian crisis on earth. drought, combined with a deadly insurgency by al qaeda-linked rebel groups, led to the first famine of the 21st cent

that connect this is to islamic terrorism. recognizing the november 5, 2009, attack on fort hood, texas, as an act of radical islamic terrorism and jihad anwr al awlaki connection. mr. al-awlak simbings no longer with us but the bottom line was at the time this happened, they were directly connected and this man preached, taught, encouraged violence. islamic terrorist violence. hasan's presentation to the d.o.d. on jihad justification. he would argue with his fellow soldiers about the justification for reason for having jihad against the american military. mr. hasan was a member of the united states army, he was a major, he had been serving in the medical corps, he was a doctor, psychologist, scrift, he was trained -- psychiatrist, he was trained with american taxpayer dollars and he was preaching jihad to soldiers. and there's lots of evidence. one of the bills -- one of the -- i had a bill which was included in this recent defense bill we just passed which said that this guy was telling people that he believes in this kind o

in a lot of the debate about islamists is looked at as some sort monolithic force whereas islam and islam ism in egypt and the parties represented are a very very broad church even with individual parties. and how do you think that the rest of the world would react to an extremist muslim government were to come to power inside egypt. well i think it's very it's unlikely that we'll have an extremist muslim country government i mean it depends how you define extremist but the the forerunner at the moment in the elections is the freedom and justice party or the freedom just parties coalition which is. the same suggests it's. democratic coalition and it's not just made up of islam it's the biggest party in the coalition is is the freedom and justice party which is which is set up by the muslim brotherhood but you have a whole wide range of secular liberal parties and not a coalition two and it's very unlikely that the freedom and justice party will form a coalition and even said it expressed it. openly that they will not form a coalition with the with the salafist extremist islamists they're

what is is the strict islamic -- does the strict islamic political party mean and what do they want? >> there are a number of them and their representation in the parliament may actually be higher, since we are still in the early stages of vote but it looks likes between 60 and 65% of the parliament could be a combination of muslim brotherhood and these others who are more extreme. let's be clear, the muslim brotherhood was founded by a person from that party and it may be variations on a theme and for those who hope that democracy in egypt would mean a western-style, free, open society, one that would uphold its peace treaty with israel, i think this is very, very bad news. not final, to be sure. but certainly a bad sign for the direction of the next egyptian government. >> eric: they want to impose sharia law, no loans, no alcohol, no shaking hand with women and want women to wear veils and had women candidates but put photos of flowers over their faces and don't want to show the faces of their women. you are talking about me potentially the most radical conservative islamic state

regime the islamic bloc won six city%.ore and want o'sharia law won 20%. this underscores how well-organized -- organized the muslim brotherhood is. this the first round of many elections. already it appears the ideas of freedom that hundreds of thousands risked their lives for in tahrir square might be lost. islamists played smart, lying low as the revolution began and only mobilizing their political base as the world lost interest in egypt over the summer. the military junta in charge has made it clear they are unhappy with the rums that include voting from parts of cairo, it is possible once ruled parts of egypt vote later in the year the it lack mick bloc will win larger majorities. -- the brotherhood is faced with a big challenge with power comes responsibility. they will now have to run a country of more than 85 million, a lot of hungry mouths to feed in a place notoriously poor and without oil resources. the brotherhood have held a few rallies which gives insight. it is anti-american and anti-israel. one rally ended

presence in afghanistan and as you point out one of those is the increasing islamic radicalization of pakistan and to the extent that the pakistan government is identified or is it is considered by many pakistani militants to be a part of the problem in fact to be allying itself in aiding the united states that has brought many of these domestic militants within pakistan in open warfare with their own government so that's the main preoccupation of the pakistanis right now and i think that they fear that a continued large scale u.s. presence in afghanistan will continue the political deterioration within pakistan part of the problem here is that as has been pointed out the americans are not going to entirely go away the americans are going to maintain a presence in afghanistan they're not going to allow the taliban to overthrow the regime in kabul what they need to do and what the president has made clear they're going to do in a subtle way is to get their presence down to a manageable level the problem is that we lack credibility the pakistanis have no faith whatsoever that the u.s. i

prosecutor luis a compliment and his request for arrest warrants were more market off the saif al islam and that office intelligence chief was granted i went through the pages of the arrest warrant application most of which were redacted but a lot of pages so consider probably for use of articles to support the case one of which was which against every twenty fifty one basin information bush your self said he got the empty seat but those who raised questions risked being accused of taking the side of a man seen as a brutal dictator already labeled by some world powers as the bad guy international law even cheerleaders of the intervention admit tends to be sacrificed. the us. to do something which is not politically correct i don't believe so much international law is just a tool used. for political purposes regardless julia's point is simply this with such legal systems in place any claims first and foremost should be farly investigated the point he hopes will be heard before the next humanitarian war is waged thus are still your r t brussels our six minutes past the hour here and what'

aircraft and other battles in the region earlier the islamic republic threatened to stop oil shipments through the channel if western backed sanctions hit its fuel exports america's valen to use its navy stationed in the persian gulf to stop the iranians from hindering passage political analyst chris bambery believes the west is putting world peace on the line with its stubbornness over sanctions. that americans could probably force using the military which in the gulf could probably force open the straits of hormuz but that would mean war with iran and that would be a huge huge escalation and would threaten world peace and therefore i think the iranians are really challenging the americans sensing the american weakness we know that both from british sources that there are plans to attack iran and israel is egging on america to attack iran over the question of its nuclear program but i think again in a comparison with iraq in two thousand and three iran is in a much stronger position iranian nationalism should not be should not be underestimated even opponents armitage about would rall

as groups have taken root elsewhere in tunisia and also libya's rulers say they'll build an islamic state how do you think it will change the face of the region. well i mean in many arab countries especially tunisia libya and egypt to many north african countries. secularism has been imposed by through tarion rulers so there's definitely an islamic awakening but i don't think i don't personally think . it will necessarily conflict with democracy egypt's foreign think i think continue. yeah i think i think modern islamists in north africa in tunisia libya and in egypt could very well. lead the transition. and there have been there have there have been statements by another party in tunisia and the muslim brotherhood in egypt that they are committed to democracy committed to present of democracy and personal freedoms. so i think think i. like i miss them it's driven democracy it's not really a snowboard and could have been had it's something that could very much work all right we have to leave it there egyptian journalist are some of the thanks for your insights. the head of the arab

with political islam. the challenge that turkey faces today is that now that the military has lost its political powers, society has to find a new and much more democratic order to establish the checks and balances that existed before on political power. and this is the challenge in many ways that turkey faces today. to replace the military with the right constitutional democratic norms of checks and balances. and here direct work is not very clear. now, the third feature of the church model is the market state relationship. the turks economy has started its program of economic liberalization back in 1980 and there was another episode of global trade integration with the customs union, with e.u. at the end of 1995. so today what we have in turkey in terms of the market straight relationship is the business calamity independent of the government. and i think that is one of the core characteristics of the turkish model, especially when they compare with some of the countries where this model could essentiall

it's the absence of the application of islamic code.le, a gentleman leaves his catholic faith to marry a muslim woman. now, if that had been the reciprocal, literally all hell would have broken loose within the muslim islamic community. that's a taboo no-no situation. they show the good side of all of this, but they're not showing what's happening underground. now, again, i would like to had hear from the imams of this country to come out and just say, you know, we don't want any part of sharia law to apply to america or american laws. we want to follow all american laws with regard to how we treat women, honor killing, mutilation, so on and so forth. >> david, let me interrupt. i want to go back to this man who was irish catholic who converted. i happened to have that man and his wife on the show. he talked about initially how his parents didn't know quite how to feel, but he did end up converting so he could marry her had. i want to play just this one clip from them. >> it's amazing that people think you cannot be american and muslim

islamic parties are doing very well.dn't think they would do as well as they appear to be doing. and it's even more radical islamic groups. and according to these two percentages that have come out, the students who were at tahrir square who led the revolution, free thinking type of people, they got a small percentage. the group that would like to be in the ninth century, they got more votes and then the muslim broke ho brotherhood got even more still. throughout middle east, egypt as an example forks decades you've had secular dictatorships and there are certainly problems with dictatorships. but they were generally secular and pro america. and they were pliable. now we're having a much more complicated probably more islamic, more conservative populous that is being empowered. a populous that was deliberately miseducated by the dictators. and one of the problems is they miseducate their people. so how do you transition from a dictatorship that taught their people badly deliberately to keep them in control and then throw

in islamic law, in reliance to the traveler and warm peace in islam. describes jihad as a war against non-muslims. you can break that cycle. it has to be both, has to be concise. have to say the truth, work the truth. >> we're doing that here and we will not leave as my colleague said, your soldiers, your son and the other soldier and the soldiers at fort hood, we will not leave them behind. i think you have a chorus of support here today and i think by the end of this hearing we will have a resolution to honor all of those who fell in this type of action. chairman, i thank you. i think we've learned a lot and we're ready to move forward as quickly as possible. with that, i yield back. >> i recognize mr. turner for five minutes. >> i thank you for your testimony mr. long. your elegant and spot on. i want to thank you for your service. and shining the lighten which problem. jihad is not clearly understood. and even the tools of jihad are not. takia -- >> yes, sir, i'm very well aware of that. >> the term for deceiving and fooling the enemy, the useful t

this administration is so interested in protecting radical islam and not offending radical islam, that that memo was trash canned and never went anywhere. and the only way this private was stopped was not by our intelligence community, not by our justice department, not by our state department, not with all the information they could have, it was stopped by a gun dealer who just believed something was wrong. and he notified law enforcement. and now we know from the 9/11 commission, we have known since the commission came out with its report, there are hundreds of mentions of things like jihad, islam, not that there is any war on islam, there is not. thank god that most -- the vast majority of muslims know we aren't at war with them and they aren't at war with us. but it is insanity not to protect ourselves and educate ourselves on that small percentage -- it's a large group of radical islamists who have declared war on us. this administration, though originally after 9/11, the bush administration, the independent 9/11 commission that was appointed, came out, saying this was a result of
