and what islam teep teaches because people unfortunately judge islam by what they see on tv the crimesommitted by these people and that's all they know. most americans have never been overseas, been to a muslim country, met a muslim in their life. they see this violence on tv and think it represents islam. the violence has been completely contradictory to islam, completely denounced by all muslims, most of the victims of these violent groups are muslims themselves and we are completely against it. it has thog to do with islam, that these groups are because of political problems national problems ethnic problems they use religion to justify their crimes. so i think we american muslims in particular you know, have a very difficult, are in a difficult position and we have a difficult task, to explain islam and to distance ourselves and to explain that those extremists have nothing to so with the true islam and with the true teachings of our religion. >> when we pick it up, i want to pick it up right there. in the years following september 11th the implication that the current president ba

of islam around the world. but islam is becoming a key issue in a republican presidential primary. ben carson has made remarks whether a muslim can be president of the united states. what do you makes of this discussion? >> i am going to go ahead and be blunt. it's a disgrace and rather falling what he said. ben carson i think believes what he says and i don't think he's just pandering to his base and i find his comments very troublesome. the fact is before even america, god founded as a country, as we know it today, islam existed here. islam came and arrived with the arrival of the first african slaves some of whom were muslim, practicing and they brought islam with them. not 100 years, 200 years, way longer. that's a fact. as i said before, there's a multiplicity of interpretation. with him speaking about islam as a big monolith one thing, is troubling, he's suffering from a severe case of islamophobia, an exaggerated fear of islam and muslims which is not really founded and based in reality. >> yet ben carso

>> it depends on what you mean by islam. islam is a vast set of commitments and ideas and, you know, they're 1.6 billion muslims on earth who holds to those ideas in varying degrees. some nominally and some are, you know, right next door to or even right of the omar, that the crucial case of extremism now is isis or the islamic state. now, if you're going to talk about sharia law, the law that mandates the cutting off of hands from thieves or throwing gays from rooftops -- >> is that in the karon? you know it's not in the karon, sam. you know that and it's -- i've had -- >> dean, let him finish. sam, finish your thought and, dean, you can respond. >> dean, you're going to get a chance to talk. >> but it's this kind of obscurantism that you'll hear 307g up from dean which gives some colonels of truth to the people that -- genuine bigots like ben carson or even worse like the person who stood up at trump's rally who was obviously a bigot, should have been shouted down by trump. but what's sipster here is when you have seemingl

to launch airstrikes against the islamic state group in syria. for the first time since the war in syria, the russian foreign ministry confirms that russian military experts are indeed on the ground. moscow says it has delivered weapons to the syrian regime to combat terrorism. ,or more on this, sean walker the guardian's correspondent in russia. what do we know about russia's presents in syria? >> we know russia has supported president assad. in recent weeks and months we have been seeing this buildup of circumstantial evidence, people posting things online. soldiers, what appears to be russian soldiers, posting selfies from syria. russian aircraft seen in syria. we have had reports of prefabricated housing transported to syria in what looks like the first stages of building a russian military base. today we have confirmation that russia's advisors are in syria. what we are hearing from the foreign ministry, we have always given weapons to the syrians, always had advisors there to train them and that is what is happening now. if you look at what

i absolutely would not agree with that. >> i want to ask about islam, if you thought islam is conductiveo the constitution and you said must almolims muslims, you would have a muslim being president. >> i would have problems with somebody that embraced the doctrines associated with islam. if they are not willing to reject, you know, sharia and all the portions of it that are talked about in the koran, if they are not willing to reject that and subject the that to american values and the constitution, then of course i wouldn't and i will ask you, would you be willing to do that? would you be willing to advocate for somebody that would do that? probably not. >> i don't assume because somebody is muslim, they would put their religion ahead of the u.s. constitution and the u.s. constitution says no religious tests. >> except i already said before that that anybody from any religion from any background, if they are -- i told you what the criteria were. i told chuck todd what the criteria were. he's asking this out of that context. >> you don't think in any way you said anything that could hav

besides the islamic state just does not come from nowhere. it was initially forged as a tool against undesirable secular regimes. having established a foothold in iraq and syria, the islamic state has become dominant. and if goes further than that. the situation is more than dangerous. in these circumstances it is irresponsible to make loud declarations of the threat of international terrorism while turning a blind eye while supporting terrorists including the process of trafficking illicit trade in arms. it will be equally irresponsible to bring troops apt place them in one's service in order to achieve political goals in hopes of later dealing with them or in other words liquidating them. to those who do so, i would like to say dear sirs, no doubt you're dealing with rough and cruel people, but they're just as you are, and you never know who is manipulating whom. there isn't data on the most moderate opposition is the best proof of it. we believe that any attempts to play games with terrorists and to arm them is not just short-sighted, this

of course, there is good people of the islam people. there is not all muslim people they are bad, i believe. but where is the good people? where is their voice? nothing. few. few. >> logan: with everything that has happened here to the christians, what has been lost? >> sharaf: they lost our dignity here. i'm sorry to say that. we don't have dignity in our country, in our land. >> logan: most everyone we met welcomed u.s.-led air strikes here, but they also said it is not nearly enough. taking back mosul, a city of about 1.5 million people, is widely understood to be a difficult prospect. archbishop warda believes the iraqi army can't do it alone, and as long as the city remains in the hands of isis-- who he refers to as da'esh, its arabic name-- no christians will be going home. >> warda: for me, da'esh is a cancer. it's a disease. so, sometimes, you take some hard measures, unfortunate measures to deal and to treat this cancer. >> logan: so you want to see a major military offensive to retake mosul? >> warda: yeah, to get iraq to its

the islamic revolution has had a lot of influence in many parts of the islamic world.re are a lot of different areas where iran can play a very prominent role . >> so we were really interested in talking to government officials and business owners and regular working people about politics about the economy, i didn't -- i hadn't really scheduled to do a lot of cultural things. but everybody told me you have to go to this little area on thursday night. thursday night in the eastern world is like friday night in the western world. people had their cars and they were shiny and nice and they would be driving, windows open, music playing, young guys would be on a motorcycle, for better way of saying it, cruising for girls, i don't know. we would go to an art gallery opening and they were shows this exhibition about artists who were pushing the boundaries of graphite, drawing. and it occurred me you are pushing the boundaries of this particular strain of art, in a country that is built on not pushing the boundaries of anything. of listening to what the authorities tell you yo

issue raised in the summit is islamic state recruitment. around 30,000 foreign fighters are now in syria. what are they planning to do to talk about? laura: the human secretary-general -- the human -- the u.n. secretary-general called into data a 70% increase in the number of foreign terrorist fighters from 140 different countries and going to conflict regions around the world. there was a lot about the need to try to confront the ideology, confront the mindset, and what to do you do. one of the most eloquent people, as he has been all this week, was the king of jordan. the jordanians who had to deal with the problem of is -- of the islamic state. he said it was a responsibility of muslim teachers to confront those distorting the faith. jane: thank you for joining me from new york. one more issue raised that the introducingek was the prospect of a prisoner swap. it was suggested that tehran would release 3 americans if the u.s. freed a number of iranians jailed for violating sanctions. among the citizens is a correspondent for the washingto

he has repeatedly warned the sunni-dominated islamic state group is dangerous.he popular mobilization forces are set to have more than 100,000 fighters. sistani ordered junior and senior high school students were ordered to take part in training during their summer break. it's believed that some children participated in the fight. training instructors are former members of the iraqi military. some also fought against islamic state militants. 27-year-old haidar al budairy is one of them. he has fought with the militants 16 times. he shares his experience with the trainees every time he returns from a battle. >> translator: i've been back and forth between battlefields and my hometown. i feel proud to see young fighters being nurtured. >> reporter: haidar joined the fighting after his older brother wounded his leg on the battlefield. haidar said he wanted to help shia people as a member of the militia in place of his brother who could no longer take part. popular mobilization forces have become a mainstay in the fight against islamic state militants. their ability

islam is the most important issue in turkey.arrator: most inhabitants of istanbul are muslims, but here, too, we find striking contrasts. some combine their religion with westernized lifestyles. this dovetailing of this consumer society with islamist lifestyle in turkey i think is something that has arisen specifically from the conjuncture of globalizing economics in turkey as well as a relative freedom of expression, and an increasingly educated islamist community-- and increasingly urbanized. i think that it can be, in a way, an export of turkey to other places in the middle east, and i think that it has been. narrator: but many people are fundamentalists and find their identity in islamic traditions. but they are fighting against another tradition here. beginning in the 1920s, one of ataturk's most significant changes was the formal separation of church and state. since that time, religion is supposed to be a matter of individual choice and conviction. secor: i think that turkey has the potential to be a great model of a stat

besides the islamic state itself did not just come from nowhere. it was also initially forged as a tool against undesirable secular regimes. having established a foothold in iraq and syria, the islamic state has become active in other regions. it's seeking dominance in the islamic world. it goes further than that. the situation is more than dangerous. in these circumstances it is hypothetical and irresponsible to make loud declarations about the threat of international terrorism while turning a blind eye to the channels of financing and supporting terrorists, including the proceeds of trafficking and illicit trade in oils and arms. it will be equally irresponsible to try to manipulate extreme groups and place them among service in order to achieve political goals in the hope of later dealing with them or, in other words, liquidating them. to those who do so, i would like to say dear sirs, no doubt you are dealing with rough and cruel people. but they are no way primitive. they are just as clever as you are. you never know who is manipulating whom.

the islamic state and others. iranians have been very useful in iraq and syria, along with the hezbollah allies . we refuse to acknowledge that, but perhaps we will. >> the fact that we are on the same side in iraq, does that open possibilities? >> yes, of course it does. if we look at the last 15 years of u.s. involvement in the region, united states took out iran's two biggest enemies in afghanistan and iraq. we happen to be on the same side as iran when it came to, at least in the initial parts of the invasion. we have not been able to ingoing since then because of various geopolitical and domestic political constraints, but this presents on opening and the fact that we have a deal enabling greater connections between not just at the diplomatic level, but the iranians and american people. it presents openings, because as we know, you know, hassan rouhani, the current president of iran, he was elected. it wasn't a fair election, but it was a competition among chosen candidates. it was fair to argue he was not th

they will allow us to see if attacks against the islamic state organizations are feasible. annette: mark, a year ago, it was a very different story with paris rolling out military involvement in the fight against the islamic state group, saying they would only serve to benefit ashore all aside. ssad.shar al-a mark: this was part of the reason why the french president just ate a u-turn compared to a year ago. the other reason he mentioned is the terrorist threat. he says that friends -- france has proof that some of the terrorist plots carried out or were foiled, originated in syria. therefore, he says, we need to know more and this is why he has decided that tomorrow france will begin reconnaissance flights. eventually, france might launch airstrikes in syria if they find the right target. there is a refugee problem, a terrorism problem, and we need to address it at its root and that is syria. however, when he was asked several times, what do you make -assad, he said he needs to go. the political situation means syria without him at some point. he rolled out categorically t

and france are bombing the jihadist and islamic state in syria and britain might join them. any diplomatic resolution would mean all those powers and others agreeing and finding a way to enforce their plan. the chances are not great. the exodus of syrian refugees towards europe is one factor that has put syria at the top of the have the diplomatic agenda. it cannot be ignored. the other factor is the continued rise of the jihadist and islamic state and the threat they represent in the middle east and further away. in a country that's being destroyed by war, the regime has learned to ignore pronouncements by britain and its friends about president assad's future. western powers have almost no influence on what happens inside syria because of anywhere reluctance over more than four years to get involved. but president putin of russia is different, looking eager to use his country's military might to restore its status as a major middle eastern power. he says his army is the only force fighting isis effectively. he's backing syria and upstaging the west. what about the attitude
