religion, islam specifically, has been viewed with high suspicious by the intelligentsia that has formed the modern egyptian state. we've never found our peace with islam. many will claim their problem is islamism and the kind of views that it holds. but in many cases the real problem, the root of the problem is they don't like islam. they've never found a way to deal with the idea of this religion and how it works with the modern world. i think part of this is -- which was referred to in the earlier panel, is the influence, huge influence, of french secularism on egypt. and that we -- in a sense we never read burk. we read volter and raso. this is where the foundation of the egyptian secularism comes from. so while egypt never had a model, it certainly was what they would have wanted if they could have achieved it. so in this sense i think the -- any hope of a long-term, stable democracy in egypt, along with millions of other problems that are there, will have to find a way of accommodating islam in the public square. that people are allowed to bring -- make religious-based arguments against political decisions

egypt -- excuse me, in turkey, is one that is largely moderate, accepts the secular state, do not officially call for islamic law and the formula, we want a secular state with protecting the islamic identity. so this is a clear example. a critical case study of a country that has actually restricted religious freedom when it comes to islamist movements and the reaction has been to moderate rather than to radicalize. we have a similar situation in tunisia. whether under -- both governments or presidents of the republic restricted islamist movements, indeed repressed them, exiled them, imprisoned them and have laws in the books that restrict headscarf, that restrict polygamy and restrict some of the other aspects of, or the organizational aspects of islam as in tunisia. yet again, here a party was one that is the most progressive in its moderation of the islamist ideology. rejecting political violence. accepting in the parameters of the secular state and adopting the formula that has become the standard we often see today. they say we want [ speaking in foreign language ]. meaning, we want a civic state with a

political analyst and historian peter rushton thinks this is unlikely to ease pressure on the islamic state. what we're seeing at the moment has been is the culmination of a long term effort by iran's own is to force the iranian government into a corner to force them into a position where they're left with an invidious choice between on the one who having to steer a course between on the one hand seeming to be bullied and giving in and appearing weak and on the other hand alone themselves to be provoked and allowing themselves to be forced into a confrontational position diplomatic and intelligence professionals are having their reports having burwood abused for political and or geological reasons there's a political ideological agenda in washington and tel aviv to an extent here in london as well to willfully misinterpret intelligence to slant or to spin to use the term that's become used recently just spin intelligence in a direction that forces people on the path to war we saw it in iraq where they were they were there were absolutely disastrous consequences from intelligence the intelli
