you'd be alarmed by some of the things being taught about israel, islam, in the history of islam.give you an example called the arabs debbie's notebook. reported on a few years ago. it was painfully pulled from public schools. but it taught that muslims accompanied columbus to america and help discover america. the public school students were this around the country. now the, let's get serious. so, problematic to say the least. >> one of the most remarkable books i've ever read was actually written by a gay american journalist to left the united states because he can do to get threat to society towards what he felt. he ended up going to tear. gloucestershire he ended up leaving amsterdam because he found the muslim community was like my gosh. over in europe they want to kill me. i am wondering, has there ever been a subsequent reporting about that? that would be something global community in in the united states would jump the pond, but you don't see that. >> i have a whole chat or in the book in the brotherhood called occupied sharia, why the left hopes the brotherhood. people mi

saying islam is the solution, it looks great on a poster. but what do you do then when you're trying to provide health care and when your job is to sort of build schools and make a modern economy function? so, you know, what kind of political and social change exactly are these movements advocating? they seem to be preoccupied, as we see with the far right here sometimes as well, with certain social issues often having to do with women and sexuality. the question about the attraction of fundamentalists, i think this is a great question, and, again, i think the answer to be a good one would have to be context-specific. but we don't else inly have the -- necessarily have the time for that, so if you'll forgive me, i will generalize a little bit. i think it depends on what is going on in the particular country. i think sometimes fundamentalists have positioned themselves as being against corruption although as we have seen now in the last few years when they get into power, they seem to just carry on the tradition of corruption they have inheri
