radical islam, islamic extremism. i'm not sure a lot is gained by saying that. >> the topic of discussion in our meeting was about what to be done in europe now. >> leaders are gathered for three days of meetings on how best to address the threat posed by isis. >> i'm not suggesting that i think america has all the answers here. >> these meetings come just days after terror attacks in denmark. >> we just have a lot more experience. we are a nation of immigrants. >> late last night, a federal judge halted the president's executive action plan. >> i disagree with the texas judge's ruling, and the justice department will appeal. >> after five days the prosecution rested and the defense began laying out its case. >> he met them the day he killed them. >> the defense picks up their case again tomorrow morning. >> snow and ice brought treacherous travel conditions to kentucky, tennessee and virginia. >> weather has been proclaimed postponed. >> this is mardi gras. >> until wednesday. >> it doesn't seem like many are staying

islam. we are at war with people who have perverted islam. >> reporter: it's really two points he was making that he didn't want to elevate terrorists by calling them religious leaders, which he says that is what they want and to emphasize again that this is not a war against islam. he thought both of those points if you keep emphasizing that as islamic, it's incorrect, first of all, and it could lead to more recruiting. that's been the administration's thinking. it's also notable to say that he also mentioned during this speech a couple times the need for communities including muslim leaders to address this to try to counter that ideology and to take responsibility carol. >> all right, michelle kosinski reporting live from the white house, thank you. the debate surrounding the use of islamic extremism has taken a decidedly ugly term. let me be clear, it is a worthy debate. but the argument for it has turned at times bizarre. here is the reverend franklin graham on fox news. >> the president

we have to separate the radical islam organization from mainstream islam. when jordan steps up and the world is now looking at jordan leading, where are we? where is this administration? >> agreed. you spoke to the king today. tell us about that conversation through the prism that you believe that america has to be willing to put boots on the ground? in what capacity and what did the king say? >> you know, basically he arctic cue latd it is a water between islam and islam. but we can as their alie provide substantial assistance. that's fuel, weapons, and expertise. it takes people with skills, especially forces to direct our air to the right targets. it takes blocking forces. it takes embedded you know, soldiers. so u.s. needs to take the lead in providing the support necessary for the tribes, the kurds. >> so the king is right though, the king is saying without america's expertise and technology, not necessary boots on the ground in battle without us providing that support being we can't push them back from that territory of the map i just showed? >> well,

lou: turning to the islamic state. we have a president who says the islamic state is not islamic.rs to the ideology of the islamic state but doesn't correlate that to a belief system that most people would consider to be the structure, the architecture of a religion. what is this president trying denying the meaning of language semantics is not an apt word because it means meaning, which obviously holds not much value for this president? >> i think there's a couple things going on here it's tough because we're trying to get inside somebody else's head. but clearly he's trying to make aoint that if you use the word islamic to describe radical islam, you are actually in fact somehow associating that radical islam with the overwhelming majority of muslims who do not hold that view. that's one point. and i disagree with that wholeheartedly because the facts are that inside the religion of islam there is a war going on between the radicals on the one side and the moderate and traditional muslims on the other, and that's not disputable either. the second thing is and maybe a little bit

we are not at war with islam. we are at war with people who have perverted islam. of course the terrorists do not speak for over a billion muslims who reject their hateful ideology. no religion is responsible for terrorism. people are responsible for violence and terrorism. poverty alone does not cause a person to become a terrorist. any more than poverty alone causes somebody to become a criminal. there are millions of people, billions of people in the world who live in abject poverty and are focused on what they can do to build up their own lives and never embrace violent ideologies. >> chief white house correspondent ed henry joins us live now. ed. >> megyn, the bottom line is this was the president as community organizer trying to bring local muslim leaders together to help them stop the recruitment of young jihadists. but he offered little urgency about christians and jews being slaughtered in realtime. instead framing the battle against isis as what he called a generational problem. we're told tomorrow's conclusion of the three-day summit will be much more fo

last fall the president said that the islamic state is not islamic.week last week he said that whatever ideology it was that caused the islamic state guerillas and fighters that exist within them to burn a soldier to death, that was all that he could state. but, you know i have before me the koran. and i have post notes here on every citation that the islamic state has used to justify their violence. christianity has had to deal with verses like duts ron any, the war verses. but one of the verses that says fight against them so that allah will fight against them with your hands and disgrace them and give victory over them and heal the breaths of a believing people. that was the title on the air force pilot from jordan. healing the chests of the believers. we're at a point in islamic history. we're at a crossroads just like christians have been and the jews have been. and we have to take passages inside our koran, those war verses and we have to take them on. and we need lick ralberals on our side. >> i agree with you, but that's precisely the point th

you write the reality is the islamic state is islamic, very islamic. you go on, yes it has attracted psychopaths and adventure seekers, drawn largely from the disaffected populations of the middle east and europe. but the religion preached by its most ardent followers derives from coherent and even learned interpretation of islam. you go on to explain that the sort of shariah law that's instituted in saudi arabia isn't real because they don't do all that you have to do. >> yeah, that's right. and this is a very important point. they reject almost all of what islam has become in the last 1,000 years or so. that includes having an interpretation of shariah law that even the very literalist clerics and kings of saudi arabia would reject. almost all muslims alive today and probably almost all muslims in history would reject what the islamic state is doing. but they do look back to the texts of early islam. they're very selective in the way they do it. they interpret it in a way almost all muslims reject but they're absolutely muslims in the sense those are

any mention of islamic extremism. take a look. >> countering violent extremism begins with political, civic, and religious leaders rejecting sectarian strife. when people are oppressed and human rights are denied, particularly along sectarian lines, or÷ ethnic lines, when dissent is silenced, it feeds silent extremism. obviously there's a complicated history between the middle east, the west, and none of us i think should be immune from criticism in terms of specific policies, but the notion that the west is at war with islam is an ugly lie. and all of us, regardless of our faith, have a responsibility to reject it. so if we're serious about countering violent extremism, we have to get serious about confronting these economic grievances. >> and with me now to discuss, republican congressman lee zelden who is a member of the house foreign affairs committee. welcome, thank you so much for coming in on a snowy evening in new york. so my first question is, what was accomplished this week at this, what i've been calling th

not islam. it's the opposite of islam. it's a heresy within islam that advocates things that no muslim scholar, liberal, secular, religious, sunni, shia would ever accept. murder ethnic cleansing, no tolerance for these things across the board. isis thinks they're islamic and we need to take that seriously. i think graham is entirely on point. but it is important for people to also know that the muslim community at large, not reflexively or out of a desire to be politically correct is rejecting these arguments because they're not consistent with our faith. >> graham you talk in your article very specifically there are points in the quran that state during a time of prophet mohammed these were the expectations, this was the law of the time of the land and these are the things specifically in the quran that this organization these people will follow and it's attracted people around the world. do you believe it is based in the text of islam this call for what isis is doing today? >> it's certainly

>> basically articulated that it is a war between islam and islam.ut we can, as their ally, provide substantial assistance. and that's fuel and weapons and expertise. it takes, you know people with skills, special forces, to direct our air to the right targets. it takes blocking forces it takes embedded soldiers. so u.s. needs to take the lead in providing support necessary for the sunni tribes the kurds. >> the king is right, though. the king is basically saying without the u.s. expertise and technology, without us providing that support not necessarily boots on the ground, but we can't push them back from that territory of the map that i just showed. >> immediately, we need to provide fuel, bombs, weaponry, and assistance. it's very difficult to find targeting data when you don't have boots on the ground. and you're doing everything from the air. yeah, they need help. but also the world is looking to the u.s. to lead. how ironic is it now that jordan is now in the leadership position. >> how ironic. if the king is probably putting his life on the l

-led airstrikes continue to advance into islamic state-held territory. christian and iraqi kurdish forces are taking part. islamic state militants attacked the yazidi minority community last year in iraq. they abducted and enslaved women. they've also threatened to kill christians who refuse to convert to islam. british authorities are working with their counterparts in turkey to try to bring three teenagers back from syria. they believe the schoolgirls went there to join the islamic state group. thousands of young people from a number of nations have fallen under the militant's spell. it's a problem governments around the world are confronting. more from nhk world's craig dale. >> reporter: spanish police led away one of four people accused of recruiting young muslims to join radical groups such as islamic state. the suspects allegedly targeted women, in particular using social media and videos to win them over. the arrests happened a week after three british schoolgirls caught a flight to turkey on their way to syria, and possibly into the arms of isla

of some part of islam.otherwise, it makes no sense for his excursion into comparative religion. but the obama white house nonsense doesn't end there, of course. the white house initially, yesterday refused to name the participants in a closed hour-long meeting with people described by the white house as american muslim leaders. now we wondered here who theythey were. what organizations they represented. the white house wouldn't tell anybody. it turns out, in the meeting in which they wouldn't describe, that they apparently covered a wide-ranging list of topics from obamacare to law enforcement the islamic state. all that from some of the participants. a few of the participants who actually did say what happened including comedian dean and the executive director of muslim advocates claiming the main topic of discussion was anti-muslim bigotry with the president. wow. i wonder why a man so convinced that other mortals are so unaware of their prestigiouses prejudices never shares a list of his own with his cit

islamism is a desire to impose islam over society. it can manifest its violently. when it does call it jihadism but also politically. it's still a problematic ideology. to impose anyone's faith over anyone else is inherently flawed and must be challenged. al qaeda didn't inspire extremism. this was this ideology that inspired al qaeda and unless and until we recognize the problem isn't these groups to take out their leaderships but the ideology that inspires them, we'll have a new isil tomorrow. >> i think that's an important point, fareed. isis can be defeated and another group will pop up. there is a core belief here that is transferable to a number of groups. >> that's exactly right. the issue is not, is this ideology real? do these people believe in it? the article in the atlantic. >> we're going to interview in a second. >> these guys really believe in this ideology. of course they do. just as believing communists and believing marxists believed in that. the question is why is it working? why is it spreading? what is the hole it's filling? and to answer that q

islam and islam needs to clean house.hy do you say that? >> they are imitateing early islam. they are quoting the sacred text the koran, and following the text to a tee based on what early islamic conquering happened at the time of mohammed. and they are applying the tactics and all of of the things, in the modern world, seems bar baric, but back then everyone was sort of doing it. they were not outrageous tactics, 1400 years ago. and these folks are applying the same types of principles in the modern world. >> in all fairness moderate muslims will say that does not represent islam. >> well it may not represent islam today. the vast majority of muslims do not approve of it. and what do we have to do to stop it. and we fwheed a leader to -- no one else is going to do it. we have to repair the damage that the president has done pulling the troops outs of iraq in the first place. and i heard that 10,000 troops to be there to support the iraqi government we need toe be arming and helping more with the jordanians. they are wil

the islamic state is islamic, very islamic. the essay is an intelligent and detailed account of the ideology that animates the islamic state. these are not secular people with rational goals, he argues, they really do believe in their religious ideology. >> but wood's essay reminds me of some of the breathless tracks written during the cold war that pointed out that the communists really really believed in communism. of course many isis leaders do believe their ideology. the real question is why has this ideology sprung up at this moment and why is it attractive to a group, a tie nye group of muslim men these days. wood describes isis as having revived traditions that have been dormant for hundreds of years. exactly. isis has rediscovered even re-invented a version of islam for its own purposes today. wood is much taken by academic, turning a blind eye to isis for political reasons. "people want to absolve islam. it is this islam is a religion of peace mantra, as if there is such a thing as islam," he says. "it is what muslims

and we are not at war with islam. we are at war with people who have perverted islam. just as those of us outside muslim communities need to reject the terrorist narrative that the west and islam are in conflict or modern life and islam are in conflict i also believe that muslim communities have a responsibility as well. al qaeda and isil do draw selectively from the islamic texts. they do depend upon the misperception around the world that they speak in some fashion for people of the muslim faith. that islam is somehow inherently violent, that there is some sort of clash of civilizations. of course the terrorists do not speak for over a billion muslims who reject their hateful ideology. they no more represent muslim than those who would represent christianity or hinduism. people are responsible for violence and terrorism. and to their credit there are respected muslim clerics and scholars not just here in the united states but around the world who push back on this twisted interpretation of their faith. they want to make very clear what islam stands for. we are joined

could you imagine the president who can't say the islamic state is islamic or radical islam and wentverend wright's church would he ever say terrible deeds in the name of mohamed? >> there is no more transformative power on <ñ%t[ñ planet than the gospel of jesus christ. christianity is the greatest thing, the greatest faith narrative on the planet. so to compare christianity to radical islam or a faith narrative that does not advance peace, love, harmony reconciliation, of course it's not historically con textualized in the way it's appropriate. something that took place a hundred years ago. listen every single faith group has extremism. but even you could argue stalin killed more in the name of atheism. >> we're going to get into this in the next segment about the crusades whether a defense of war. so mohamed is 600 a.d. a hundred years later begin, they went all over spainzxt4 and rome and france and con80e stantinople. the question is was he historically even accurate? >> jesus is biqíolove jesus is mercy, jesus is hope. this is the christianity of matthew, mark, luke and john, pe

the threat of the islamic state taking a new turn today. a group of islamic state supervisors successfully cyberattacked "newsweek" magazines twitter account and the website of the international business times. the attackers call themselves the cybercaliphate. they also posted threatening tweets threats against president obama and his family. this newest cyberattack also comes on the same day that the obama administration will have a new agency to monitor cyberthreats. the white house counterterrorism adviser, lisa monaco making the announcement. >> we have seen in the last nine months a growing list of high-profile targets. home depot jpmorgan chase target, sony pictures, and the u.s. postal service to name just a few. and we are at a transformation will moment in the evolution of cyberthreat. the actions that we take today and those we fail to take will determine whether cyberspace remains a great national asset or increasingly becomes a strategic liability. lou: a striking change of tone by the obama white house. it was only two months a

it was clearly the islamic state. then the video proceeded to talk about the crusades which we had mentioned at the prayer breakfast today, to bring up every grievance against israel the jews and every other possible infraction anybody has ever done against muslims, and that is how we act out with violence. then they proceeded to talk about koranic verses which tells the believers to have courage to fight and to make courage in their fight. and then it proceeded to tell us that there is a saying from the prophet muhammad and a fatwah that says we should participate in these just wars even against fellow muslims. so to pretend this isn't a reality of islam in the world today, that there is a true islam that is the reality of our world is to me just a dance that we're playing to our peril. >> professor, within every religion, there are arguments about what the proper tenants of a religion should be. moat kath most catholics in the united states of america support abortion rights. the pope says that is absolutely wrong,

the reality is the islamic state is islamic, very islamic. he puts the emphasis on the word very. it's attracted psychopaths and adventure seekers. why won't the president say this is an islamic movement? i get you don't want to imply all muslims have anything to do with isis but is the u.s. wrong not to acknowledge that they are a radical islamic group? >> on the one hand we're not at war with islam. you want that to be the clear not only for the people abroad as your correspondent just said but today's conference was about muslims in the united states. when people are carrying out acts of violence in the name of religion we have to deal with that. we need them to partner with us and they are. i think today's conference was a good turning point. i would like to hear the president say not only that we're not at war but we are at war with this radical interpretation and we're moving forward. i never heard the president get as close as today. >> not quite there but close. for some people are very skeptical here i want to get to the heart of this. let me place something else the pres

and it has to be be islamism. so when you say it has to be defeated by the islamic, and the only word they know of it is islam, and they know that it is the faith of islam and tlhereby they blame all of the muslims. on the muslims, there is another problem, because there are liberal muzslims out there attempting not just political reform or the democratic nature of the president referring to, but the reform of the faith, and they need the lexicon to distinguish the religion from the politization, and without that aisle will monopolize the discourse -- isil will mon op monopolize the discourse and win the debate. >> so you are saying it should be of all faith? >> well in one sense, islamism is to impose islam over all society, and that is going to man manifest violently and that is jihadism and politically, it can be manifest and that is problematic, because to desire to impose one's faith over anyone else is inherently flawed and must be challenged. al qaeda did not have extremist, but it is this extremism ideolog

so islamic state's message here is clear. but it's still unclear what the group was aiming at overall. if they really wanted rishawi in the first place, or if she, goto and the pilot kasasbeh were all pawns in an elaborate game. keep in mind islamic state isn't allied with al qaeda anymore so it begs the question why would the group push for the release of an al qaeda operative. the militants have killed many iraqis and syrian both citizen and soldier and they made shocking videos showing murders of americans, britains japanese and now this jordanian. government leaders around the world are trying to show they won't be swayed following this latest killing. >> i think we'll redouble the vigilance and determination on the part of a global coalition to make sure that they are degraded and ultimately defeated. >> translator: at this difficult time japan is with jordan. i feel great indignation towards this cruel and despicable act of terrorism. >> jordanian authorities have said their response to the pilot's murder will be quote

president, the islamic state. here is the president's response to the beheadings of american journalist james foley and steven sokolov five months ago. he said the islamic state's ideology is quote, bankrupt. then he declared the islamic state represents no religion just two weeks later the president called the claim that the islamic state kills in the name of religion quote, absurd, while vowing to fight these terrorists. he didn't call them terrorists. no more than five months later now, this president still refuses to call the islamic state what it clearly is. radical islamist terrorists. according to the clarion project, radical islam is the merger of mosque and state under sharia. the goal being the implementation of sharia law globally through terrorist acts human rights abuses bigotry toward non-muslims and overall hostility towards the west. about three-quarters of the state department's designated foreign terrorist organizations are islamist so we are led to ask why doesn't our president at least publicly

what you're teaching is not islam. islam does not see race, islam is color blind.ay you view elijah muhammad is a prophetic figure is counter to islam. >> in the name of allah. >> and then another piece of this, of course, was malcolm finding out about elijah muhammad's domestic life. >> love us alone if you don't like us. >> when malcolm found out that elijah muhammad had fathered these children outside of his marriage to clara, many of these women were women who had worked for elijah muhammad in some capacity as a secretary or other way. >> malcolm did have a blind faith in the honorable elijah muhammad, who rescued him from the muck and from the mud and that blind faith was shattered, and he went into emotional shock. >> this was the straw that broke the camel's back, so to speak, in terms of malcolm's faith in elijah muhammad as a model, as a moral leader. in the nation, we know how it feels when you aren't treated like a priority. we do things differently. we'll take care of it. we put members first. join the nation. thank you. ♪ nationwide is on your side goo

who have perverted islam.ust as those of us outside muslim communities need to reject the terrorist initiative that the west and islam are in conflict. or modern life and islam are in conflict, i also believe that muslim communities have a responsibility as well. al qaeda and isil do draw selectively from the islamist sects. they do depend on the misperception around the world that they speak in some fashion for people of the muslim faith. that islam is somehow inherently violent. that there is some sort of clash of civilization. of course, the terrorists do not speak for over 1 billion muslims who reject their hateful ideology. they no more represent islam than any mad man who kills innocence in the game of god represents christianity for judaism or buddhism or hinduism. no group is responsible for terrorism. people are responsible for violence and terrorism.
