so sharia is the islamic jurisprudence that is the laws that have evolved from 7th century islam. so i would be deceptive o lying to you if i said sharia was compatible with american law. my sharia is the islam of american patriots that i know that are muslims that reject political islam is, but the sharia of saudi arabia, of the pakistani islamic law, of egyptian law, of the muslim brotherhood, of hamas, the shia theocracies are incompatible with american law. as we are finishing up the holiest month of ramadan, we just finished, it it's our holiday this weekend. my personal sharia tells me how to pray, fast, how to follow the pietistic laws and sharia that gets involved in criminal law, that gets involved in prohibiting siege. mark: and governance. >> and punishments and the inequality of men and women. torture of dissidents and all the other things that are done under the name of sharia in iran and saudi arabia and other theocracies or quasi theocracies, as americans try to get their head around what is sharia, i would tell you look at our own history. america was founded on a

these kinds of things we understand islam within that within the christian islam has. shown many dimensions . in which people can operate in gravity and our it is our reductionist approach not just by non muslims but increasingly by muslims that islam is exclusivist and it's this aspect of islamic law what can and cannot be done dominate everything from break i'm going. to i'm back to school i found someone slashed the pigs and. there was group all. quite radical muslims running roaming the campus. in those days. and i think it was . of course it is a difficult climate to be controversial in this country because. you know that i feel that the controversies that attacks are really generated for political reasons. that's a political project in terms of wanting the country to remain. and the milly's in particular in the muslims in particular to be a certain kind. really a certain kind of muslim you know from servitude to dishing no. i think with all fundamentalists and conservatives it's a is about control conformity power and the having the sole power and authority to de

it is the first one in the uk that i am aware of, particularly in relation to islamic state, but note more broadly. is it more likely than not that in this particular case it was the mother who was influencing the two younger kids, and not the other way around? is that probably what happened, in your opinion? i think de-radicalisation of women is generally viewed... women are generally viewed as being manipulated into participating in these groups, and in some cases this is true. we have to be very cautious with how we generally view these stereotypes, because a lot of the time, in many cases, women are independent agents who wants to participate in and of their own choice. we have to look at this with caution. we know the cliches of white men might be attracted to islamic state, as it was, and the idea of heaven, 70 virgins or whatever, all that kind of stuff. —— we know the cliches of why men. but what about women to be well, if we compare isis to previous terrorist organisations, like al-anda, they really restricted the roles of women in the organisation, but if we look at islamic

the islamic. iran ladies and gentlemen is a difficult environment not only for us reporters this is due to the country's ever present censorship which according to the range and constitution should not even exist there are many educated people in iran who express themselves very well but openly talking about the burning issues in the country can be risky quite risky we saw it in the video. provinces eva columb feels the need to express himself he took a stand which means he is sticking his finger into open wounds earlier this year he agreed to speak to the watchable. to daughter veliz person language department the both the existing the mystic political and social realities that led to a recent nationwide protest shortly after professor was arrested and sentenced to eighteen months in prison by a revolutionary court yet he makes no secret of his closeness to president has on the warning on the contrary he advocates for reforming iran's current ruling system instead of abolishing it outright he bel

since amy covering the islamic state. she sent me videos it was very beautiful q. is how you can if you use windows so yes maybe it's. around thirty five german women and their children are waiting in northern syria to return home their fates are all very similar. left germany in twenty fourteen friends brought her to rocca via turkey she gave birth to a child and found work in a shopping center. for two years it's also not full time so much plan and everything. and. everything from the new the holes is the bed. because i know in germany it's not the life you know and when you go old said you must close everything because i know she claims she was unaware of any atrocities she says the war and the bombs took their toll and when rocket fell her own life fell apart but islamic scholar marwan abu doubts the women's ignorance he considers them dangerous. it is hard to believe they arrived in rocca and the modus operandi of the i.s. was of course not just to welcome people but to question them closely then they had to swear of savoy. before. and only then did they get a

, summarizing. >> isis is not islamic. it is very islamic. and truth be told it is unnecessary. every interpretation, regarding how it is, isis's ideology and inherence is worse than al qaeda, a strand of revisiting the needs to be redressed and understood. ec is downplaying the ideological role in the pulse nightclub and special agents doubled up with a higher-level operative, and a massive amount of reporting had nothing to do with that technology at all. and other coverage of it, it is because he was a homosexual and that is absolutely correct. very islamic interpretation but they refer to text more than 99%, the way they skew the text and understand the nuances of the ideology and relying on the extreme, imams were not scoring the same way and was a thorough understanding to refute the ideology. and it was all ideology, had a lot more to do with this position but it transitioned for radical ideas. it is essentially correct. >> you raise a couple points, there is a deep -- in the muslim community in the united states an

this is the news coming to you live from berlin the brides of the islamic state want to come home a group of german women and their children waiting for a ticket back to the west after this function of the self-styled khalaf it's now authorities must decide if they're terrorists or victims also coming up another immigration voice in the european union this and his center writes the democratic party told the polls in the election in slovenia. and germany's president asks gays and lesbians for forgiveness. apologizes for decades of suffering in the nazi era in post-war germany. hello i'm terry martin thanks for joining us the struggle to defeat the so-called islamic state has been one of the most protected struggles of recent years the extremist militia captured swathes of syria and iraq and subjected them to a reign of terror while drawing international condemnation and repulsion the group also proved attractive to some a group of german women who joined islamic state were picked up last year by kurdish forces after the collapse of the fall of its defacto capital rocka they're being held b

versus the bad islam this is the game they are playing and this is not really a visit to islam it is rather it really about the calm of muslims because when they close down the mosques this is not like the mosque of radical extremist groups this is like in very randomly like mosques of his step communities of the religious community but it is coming to environment politics is going to be an issue as such i'm going to be touched upon because why does this put a story in terms of the e.u. when the e.u. itself stands by the right to free speech the right to worship the rightful minority faiths and minorities to be protected and e.u. lol. absolutely i mean we again when it comes to politics of religion the e.u. doesn't really interfere because every single european nation state the member state of the european union has its own regime of how to handle issues of religion and there are various kinds of relationships here between state and church institutions or religious communities so they do not breed into fear in these terms what it would becomes very problematic here obviously is that

>> isis is not islamic, it is very islamic, essentially. i think it caused a lot of controversy. i think it is unnecessary controversy, i think all rehave interpretation and every should be considered valid, regardless of how irrational it is. i think isis ideology and adherence, worse than al qaeda, is a strand of religion that needs to be addressed and understood. is the down playing of the role, like mateen, who goes into pulse nightclub and called a 911 operator, pledges allegiance, he says revenge for higher level. you see reporting that says no it had nothing to do with ideology until transcripts were released, it is homophobia. other coverage it was because he was an ouight home sexual. i-- homosexual. i think it is cotorrt ay that is what it represents, islamic intrperation but they refer to sex more so than 99% of the moderate-- the way they skew the text. to counter that, understand the nuances of the ideology, i think this is where we make mistake with relying on main stream, not necessarily quoting the sa basis they weren't and don't know how that basis is a thorough

various measures taken against foreigners against immigrants against islam and sounds of all this is just one more . one more matter. and their policy. and that's what will interest far right movements across europe particularly in france the netherlands and here in berlin where the alternative for germany party made a polymer entry breakthrough in last year's election on a platform of opposition to islam dominant came al-jazeera. free harvest from georgetown university says the austrian government is trying to interfere in religious offense is a message that is intended to be sent out to the austrian electorate i think there are many groups outside of of austria and other european countries who may applaud them who may try to to kochi what they are doing but we have to understand that also the state church relation is very different in very in various countries throughout europe so austria has a kind of very specific understanding of most security and secularism should look like and what they are doing at the moment is trying to interfere into religious affairs so why do the united

for one brief shining moment i would argue they created their islamic caliphate. so for them in terms of their propaganda narrative that could become a showing bacon but you know. the islamic state is going to continue and it's going to be something we're going to have to deal with and our western liberal societies are going to have our values challenged as i constantly threaten us at home and abroad as we have to come to an agreement where we will a great a compromise some of our civil liberties in return for security and the ability to strike back at these people as the effect of us leaving the room and. that's it you should've asked me that first would probably still be talking as well and. look the short answer is that we're going to know what the real full impact of tearing at the lamp is going to be for a little while yet we're already starting to see the signs one thing i can tell you it has done is help russia help russia unknown slip. there's a very there i've heard many expressed within the american national security. community that in many ways you know

this is where america met islamic state in the greater sahara.he continent in since somalia's black hawk down. five nigerians also died. questions are still being asked in washington. insecurity and instability are rife across the sahel. boko haram has been causing chaos in north—eastern nigeria and the countries bordering lake chad for years. northern mali was overrun by islamists five years ago, and now groups affiliated with al-qaeda and the so—called islamic state are dividing and growing, competing for influence across the region. libya has become a key route for sub—saharan african migrants trying to reach europe by sea. agadez has been at the heart of the sahara's people—smuggling business since libya's collapse into chaos. it used to be a thriving tourist town but most visitors are now on their way to, rather than from, europe. tour guides have become traffickers. the money bankrolls islamist groups directly, and corrupt officials off their cash cow. are you frustrated by the amount of corruption that allows this to happen? yes, of course

an islamic state.sisi at the beginning was reluctant and we were pushing him and the army to take over. so we had to be clear. what is happening in egypt is not really portrayed well outside. i must put it to you that in the elections, after the toppling of hosni mubarak in 2011, elections were held in 2012 and the muslim brotherhood, who had refashioned themselves as the freedom and justice party won 47% of seatsin parliament and, also, other islamist parties brought the support of muslim—based parties to more than 70%. this is an illusion. we did not have democratic elections in egypt because there is no democratic elections in any country. it is money and power. do you think that trump was elected democratically? let me speak! also i was in exile in the us for 20 years. so i witnessed bill clinton campaign and 0bama. is that democracy? it's money. money and power. so money brought mohamed morsi to power is what you're saying? yes. the united states supported... i saw hillary clinton in cairo, in tah

so when one hundred percent man is talking about liberalization talking about moderate islam talkingbout a more tolerant islam these are rhetorical this is retired that is dominant in europe and in the us and it has been received with much reservation in the arab world so in terms of these activists have been arrested i think the key problem is this mohammed mr mann is basically saying to them don't get over excited i let you drive and i gave you the right to drive but you guys are pushing this case weight and way too fast and this big hysteria that you have you need to calm down so i need to teach you a lesson and put in prison for a bit ok all the main issues here that we're going to discuss the next half hour or so do you know where these women are what sort of conditions they're living under and what's the point do you know when they'll be released. well we don't really have any information about where these women have been now i mean in which prison they are we don't have information from saudi arabia and that is a complete sign. from actually the government also about where the
