. >> announced a discussion on islamophobia and issues facing muslim-americans. this panel took place at the islamic society of north america's recent annual convention held near chicago. >> our next speaker is someone who spoke at many isna events and so i've gotten to know over the last two and a half years in my time with isna. she's an incredibly insightful and thoughtful person. she's the director of research at the institute for social policy and understanding. she's the co-author along with others, she is a former executive director of the gallup center for muslim studies, into 2000 she was appointed by president obama to the president advisory council on faith-based neighborhood partnerships. ladies and gentlemen, please welcome sister dalia mogahed. [applause] [speaking in native tongue] >> my favorite thing about coming to islamic conventions are the conversations, the conversations like to travel with old friends that i haven't seen for at least a year, the conversation i get to have with people that i just met. especially young people. and i've had se

and we keep on talking about islamophobia. islamophobia is a very important challenge if we understand that it's connected to so many other things. it's not only islamophobia and we react. we need to get the big picture behind it. and when you say this, i think that we need to come to deal with our fellow citizens but also with our government in a way which should be clear. look, two years ago when the muslims were invited to come for a celebration at the white house with the president, barack obama, to go there and to engage with the government, it's a duty. you have to go, you have to speak, you speak with whoever comes to us. we are ready to speak, and we are ready to speak with the highest level of all the governments in the world. but we have conditions. to invite -- [inaudible] celebration during ramadan, the ambassador of israel where 1,500 civilians were killed, it'a political mistake. you don't do that. if you invite us for a dinner, it's a -- [inaudible] but don't use it for political purposes. that's not the right w

in fact, it is a never-ending struggle to overcome the xenophobia and islamophobia. but in that struggle, we feel a renewed passion for our faith, a renewed commitment to our cause on earth. in that struggle is our continuous attachment to our lord, our prophet, our book, our message, our call. in that struggle, we find meaning and purpose in our life. and you know what, brothers and sisters? i've been using english way too long, because arabic has a word for struggle. and the koran has a word for struggle. do you know what that word is? do you know what the word for struggle in the koran and in the arabic language is? it's a taboo word. it's a word that has been hijacked by a small minority within our own faith and criminalized and sensationalized by the outsiders of our faith. but i don't care about those two extremes, because the word is a koranic word. it is a noble word. it is a pure word. it is a blessed word, despite the extremism of the radicals and the smear campaigns of the bigots. it is a word that has been praised by our lord and our prophet and our relig

they will run to the islamophobia charge. you are all islamophobic and by all indications we are to blame for this. this is so textbook on the left. it's always america's fault. america is bad and the rest of the world is mississippi d -- te world is misunderstood. this obscene and ridiculous approach to refugee policy and immigration -- reporter: i don't know if you were watching fox business earlier today. baggage handlers and airport workers are on strike at chicago's o'hare. mayor rahm emanuel gaved the contract to a non-union company. >> you said you worked here 1 years. >> i have been advised not to talk to you guys. reporter: by this guy here? why did you do that come here. why did you do that. hey, buddy, why don't you turn around and have the courage and turn around and talk to me instead of trying to stifle people to talk. the woman had a good story to tell and you tried to cut it off. nice job, i'm glad you did that. but you are on live television on the fox network. this guy tried to stop me from interviewing that

for many americans, especially muslim americans because we have seen an unprecedented level of islamophobiapast 18 months, and just in the days following the announcement of the election results, we saw the number of hate crimes and attacks, incidents of discrimination bullying, go up tremendously. harold, i want to ask you what you are thinking in the democratic world right now. there is a huge amount of chaos and recrimination. ellis may be the next dnc chair. give us a snapshot of how the democratic party is coping and what the road ahead looks ahead -- looks like for your party. i think people are hurt and shocked by what happened. i think the actions you see in the streets are not only a reaction to what this young lady stated, the climate, but politically speaking, the clinton family has been such an integral part of this democratic party. bill clinton has been such a supersized and outsized influence, and rightly so. the parties thinking about the future. it is clearly a transition being made. we have to think about a message. we -- donald trump was able to have a message that we foc

but, it does strike some fear in some to go on and deal with this fear and the islamophobia real in the community. reverend peoples says people need to continue to feel the emotion they have and if they need to, put that energy that -- the anxiety into creating change eventually. above all else respect your neighbor and that is the most important thing. that was the message here tonight n arlington, laura >> and last night a majority of d.c. voters approved a referendum for d.c. statehood. muriel bowser explains her plan to make it a reality. >> and anti-pot laws are going into effect and when they'll go have you done anything out of the ordinary recently? we bought a new washer and dryer from the home improvement store. i'm afraid you're suffering from fobo. fobo? fobo. fobo... fear of better options. cure fobo with black friday savings now at hhgregg. get up to 40% off storewide. all with our low price guarantee. appliances. electronics. furniture. >> all right. these are live pictures now from seattle. since the top of the show we've been letting you know about a number of protests t

and i will not compromise with sexism and i will not compromise with islamophobia. what is deeply ingrained, i hope, in all of us, is the understanding that on many of the policy issues we have discussed this morning, on his people have different points of view. there e different points of view on trade. i do not think people are terrible human beings because they disagree with me on trade. that is their view. they disagree with me on health care. that's called democracy. that is a good thing. there are areas where i would hope in the year 2016 we would have put the hind us, -- behind us, and that is to say we treat people with the quality, that in the year 2016, we are not going to discriminate against somebody because that person is a muslim or that person is a woman or that person is gay. i would hope in the year 2016 we had gone beyond that, that those are battles that have been won already and i will not retreat on those issues. on the other hand, if donald trump comes up with an idea or a program which he campaigned on that says that our infrastructure is crum

"never trump" protesters marched right into a u.s. marine corps pub crawl, and things got out of control fast, tampa police quickly human barrier between hundreds of people screaming at each other. after some tense moments the protesters kept walking. >> i can't believe the things that came out of his mouth. i still can't believe that we elected him. >> reporter: all of these protesters believe that donald trump is a racist, sexist, and divisive for the country. but not everyone out enjoying ybor felt the same way. >> i think they don't really they follow the regular

message to president elect say that america has a stronger voice against the racism, the sexism, the islamophobia, the anti-immigrant - - . >> since trump claimed the presidency early wednesday morning, thousands turned out to pro protest in cities across the country, chicago, atlanta, miami, portland, los angeles and new york. hundreds of have been arrested and one protester was shot in oregon friday. most of the protests have been please for women. for my daughter. >> inside trump tower the president elect continues to put together his transition team, and the framework for his administration. >> now it's a matter of who... to do their job. >> willing to adjust some of his campaign promises in an interview airing sunday night he told scictd minutes there are pargts of obama care he'd like to keep intact. >> are you going to make sure covered? >> yes, because it happens to be one of the strongest as ts, also with the children living with their parents for an extended period. >> you're going to keep that. >> very much try and keep that. >> a shift, perhaps, from trying to win votes, to trying to

americans, but especially american muslims in the sense that we have seen an unprecedented level of islamophobia. and just in the days following the announcement of the election results, we saw the number of hate crimes biased attacks, incidents of discrimination, bullying, just spike tremendously, even post-9/11. it's a really concerning time for our communities. >> i want to ask you what you think is happening in the democratic world? obviously, a huge amount of chaos and recrimination. keith ellison maybe going to be the next dnc chair. just give us a snapshot of how the democratic party is coping right now, and what the road ahead looks like for your party. >> i think there's ambiguity on both fronts. i think people are hurt, surprised, shocked by what has happened. the reactions, i think, you see in the streets are not only reaction to what this young lady so eloquently stated, the kind of climate that exists out there. but politically speaking, the clinton family has been such an integral part of this democratic party. my entire adult life, they have essentially been the leaders. and natio

just the rhetoric he's using, and frankly, islamophobia that have outlined comments he's made. there is no military solution alone that will solve any of these challenges. the military is there, and kinetic forces are there to support non-kinetic things taking place. diplomacy and being able to work with other states and states in the region. the type of language he has used and the type of language he has underlined in so many positions, these are exactly the kind of things that are making military operations that much more complicated, because again, it continues to lean on the idea that we're at war with a religion, and we are not. so the idea this is going to be the person that is going to be the seniormost adviser to the president when it comes to national security becomes incredibly problematic, and again, not just from the military perspective but, really, from a diplomatic perspective as well. >> nicole, what does it mean if we're looking at mitt romney as secretary of state? reince priebus says these things are worth cheering about at the end of the day. his appointmen

but islamophobia in america is nothing new. you have encountered this many, many times since 9/11. >> have i pretended to be puerto rican a few times since 9/11. si! but it used to be when i walked on a plane, i could feel the stares and suspicion. and it sucked. but at least i knew the pesident of the united states had my back. mostly because he's also a muslim. we can say it now, it doesn't matter. it doesn't matter. he's muslim, okay. who gives a [bleep]. but now that assheel in seat 21b calling floot flight attendant to get off the plane, now that guy is the president. plus i also think he's probing the lad-- groab groping the lady sitting next to him. i don't want people thinking oh, that poor little muslim boy, that little brown boy, your life is tough. no, it's all of us. it's not just muslims or mexicans or african-americans t is all of us, whether it's your citizenship, marriage rights, freedom of speech, donald trump is going to move on them like a bitch. >> trevor: that was his line, you just quoted his line. >> yeah

islamophobia, with love, kindness and compassion. our jihad will be to stand for justice, to fight alongside the oppressed, to preach the truth to power, especially to preach the truth to teernical power, because our prophets of allah has said that is the greatest jihad. our jihad, brothers and sisters, will be in attempting to make america great again by being true witnesses of allah on this earth and by demonstrating to the world who our beloved prophet -- [ speaking foreign language ] are you going to join me in this noble jihad? [ cheers and applause ] let me take it up one level, then i'll conclude. they don't like the word jihad. we have to reclaim it back, because it's our word and it's a noble word. there's another phrase they don't like. there's another phrase that has also been hijacked by the extremists within our own faith and the islamaphobes outside, but we mainstream american muslims have to reclaim the phrase because it's a koranic and islamic phrase, and that is the phrase that we say when we're happy, when we're exc

welcome and students walked out of the university of houston, protesting racism, sexism, homophobia, islamophobia and xenophobia. trump sent mixed signals with his two top white house appointments today. his chief of staff will be former republican party chairman reince priebus, who is a well-liked washington insider and a good friend of the house speaker, paul ryan. but trump's top adviser will be stephen bannon, who the southern poverty law center says has no business being in the white house. chip reid has his story. >> reporter: stephen bannon rarely appears on tv, but in political circles, he is well-known as a bomb-throwing leader of the anti-establishment branch of the republican party. before becoming chairman of the trump campaign, bannon was c.e.o. of the conservative web site breitbart news, which earned a reputation for bashing establishment republs a breitbart article from december argued that equality and diversity departments should only hire rich, straight, white men because only they can be impartial observers. the story said 70% of american judges are still white men, thank god

says our state's political and religious leaders need to speak out against the mainstreaming of islamophobia we are experiencing in california and nationwide. >>> let's take a live look at the conditions tonight. in san francisco, boy, this shot never goats old. after a couple of dry days though, more rain is on the way. here so the bay area. >> i'm meteorologist mark tamayo. probably 6:00, 7:00, we could talk the firths -- first bands of rain moving on shore. clouds, winds picking up as well. as you can see on live storm tracker 2, you see the circulation. a bit of circulation. that is an area of low pressure. that will be responsible for producing stronger winds. borderline wind advisory saturday morning. here is a closer look. you get the southerly winds feeding into the low. in terms of the organized rainfall, most of that is up to our north. just to the west of cape mendocino, we have the rain showers, but, rainfall will be increased, and all weekend long, potentially, we will have breaks in the rain. actually quite a few breaks but at least the storm totals through the weekend could be

americans, but especially american muslims in the sense we have seen an unprecedented level of islamophobiathe past 18 months. just in the days following the announcement of the election results, we saw a number of hate crimes, incidents of discrimination, bullying spike tremendously even more than post-9/11. john: i want to ask you what you think what is happening on the democratic world. keith ellison may be the next dnc chair. give us a snapshot of how the democratic party is coping right now and what the road ahead looks like for the party. harold: there is ambiguity on both parts. people are hurt, shocked about what has happened. the reaction you see on the streets is not only a reaction to what this young lady eloquently stated, the kind of climate that exists. politically speaking, the clinton family has been an integral part of this democratic party. my entire adult life, they have been the leaders. bill clinton has been such a supersized influence. the clintons remain an important part of the party but there is clearly a transition. clinton brought in a message with refocusing and

. >> if you watch cnn which some of your viewers may do, you'll know against general flynn, islamophobiaents, with senator jeff sessions, all they want to do is talk about 1986 hearings. this is just further dividing our country and fear mongering and something that the press should look at people's records and look at the fact of the matter that donald trump is interviewing a bunch of people across ethnicities, female, male, he's having democrats over today, so he's definitely trying to get the best people for his cabinet and that's something that should be praised. jon: kelly and maria elvira salazar, thank you for being our media panel today. >> thank you. melissa: terrible day for police departments across the country after four officers are ambushed an shot in three different states. coming up, we talk to retired detective about what he says the federal government can do about this to keep police officers safer on the job.

the left have really betrayed america on that front for the sake of these ideas of pluralism and islamophobiat really is on the table is the issue of just confronting an ideology. >> let me ask you this, because i do want to get to -- right down to it, because a lot of muslim americans are afraid when mr. trump talks about a muslim ban, he took it off his website for a time but now it's back on. so they say that is extreme, that's singling a group of people out because of their religion and not allowing them in the united states because of that, and that's quintessentially un-american. what do you think about that? >> what i know that we have today is a very real and serious threat by extremist muslims and this is a reality that we haven't confronted directly for the sake of political correctness and if people would hear out the concerns and fears that others have about the issues to refugees and extremists, i think we could find a path that's in the middle. but unfortunately, what happens is that this liberal honor brigade shuts down all conversation, calls you bigot or racist or islamophobe

there's a reference i think she's trying to get at islamophobia. >> so -- >> which is real. >> i am talking about the neonazi white supremacist movements. >> is that a bloc? that's no one. four people in a pick-up truck. >> few more than four and chatter increasing. >> eight web pages to nine. >> in our country the fbi considers them to be as much or at times greater domestic terrorism threat than isis which we're worried about. history in this country is lot of white nationalist violence. >> come back to planet earth. radical islam responsible for the people in new york, the bombings and shootings all over the globe. real plague that donald trump is getting serious about. to stop it, you have to name it. hillary clinton didn't have the -- >> just for the record i'm against extremism and fundamentalism in islam but you're deflecting are you not against white nationalism, alt-right and rise. >> >> straw man. anybody with brain in anymore head gets that of course the trump campaign and any human with a braen rejects that. >> except for steve bannon who built his site and career around it. >>

it is a movement with a fascist core, a movement that is based on islamophobia, xenophobia, misogyny, it's a very dangerous and with a very violent core and that's what i was talking about when i said we have an obligation to protect and defend the communities that will be most at risk. muslim communities, communities of color, immigrant communities, refugees. they will be at great risk and that becomes part of our obligation, but the importance of movements on our side has not changed and i think when we look at u.s. policy, u.s. policy towards israel has not changed a great deal since 1967 when the "special relationship" developed in the context of the cold war, the end of the '67 war, the pentagon looks at israel and says "wow, we could do business with these guys, they're good." now it was based partly on mythology, they defeated six arab armies. well, they didn't defeat six arab armies, they defeated two arab armies that were viable and functional but but that as it may, they fought pretty well, that i established a great deal and the pentagon is not interested in issues of inter

he was told to be quiet for speaking out against islamophobia. now america has elected a president who is unapologetic in his divisive rhetoric. reverend wright was told he was an embarrassment to the nation and now our nation is a joke to the world. the prophetic voice of one who dared to speak to the reality of a thriving and robust state of racism in america was mocked and reduced to jokes calling him the crazy uncle. now america has come to realize that the wisdom of the sage has been redeemed and the roosters have come home to roost. reverend wright was the proverbial bewildered uncle, then who is donald trump? our moral authority is quite critical and i think also, to echo my brother here, in addition to the role in the local community, we must also be prophetic in the diaspora. we have to be involved in palestine, we have to be involved in brazil, we have to be involved in haiti, we have to be involved in cuba, we have to be concerned about our sisters and brothers in the diaspora and ensure that as we are looking at legislation and laws t

i think there's so much controversy about him, charges not only about islamophobia but be then questions about how he had conducted himself at national security, was he a good manager, things that he said. he was even at one point thought of as potentially a vice presidential candidate running with donald trump -- sandra: made some comments on the trail. >> yeah, and he's a registered democrat, by the way. so i think, you know, flynn is just so hot right now in the intelligence community and washington, i think there are a lot of people shaking their heads including koh lib powell be -- colin powell who in the wikileaks situation put out some comments. that's all there. harris: remember that, yeah. >> but if we look at pompeo and sessions, i think this is interesting. i think sessions is, just as doug had said, going to get some questions about the racially charged rhetoric jokes that he made in the past, but he's a senator. and you've got a republican majority, and i think you've got enough democrats who want to appear to work with the trump administration that i think sessions will get

pro-immigrant, pro-woman vision that includes a vision for black lives and end to rip coulter and islamophobiaer 100 women of color came together and on the morning after the election, we wrote a letter to this country saying here is a vision forward, join us, pledged to take action, not just in the first 100 hours, not just in the first one hundred days, but beyond. i signing that pledge, people are making themselves available to get information from all of those 100 organizations led by women of color to find out how it is they can continue to take action, how it is we can continue to stand together and protect our immigrant communities, protect our muslimm brothers and sisters, and stand together for a country that needs to be led by women of color if it is going to be a country that is working and good for all of us. amy: donald trump tweeted last night -- i also see increasingly in the mainstream media like cnn, they're talking about the professional activists who are getting out there trying to delegitimize the level of protest around the country right now. that term "professional activi

. >> there's also the whole element of the propagandas for this islamophobia, and that's bannon.at a unified view of islam, that is antithetical to the notion of our democratic principles, of saying, instead of the president-elect, bannon, the whole group there saying, our primary concern is to see that our muslim citizens, like all citizens, are protected, and from there, let's look at problems of immigration, let's look at problems of terrorism. but nobody in this cohort is saying, our interest is to protect the rights of muslims in america, all our people. that should be the first thing -- >> president-elect trump, that's the first thing he said. he said, i want to be a president for all the people, all religions -- >> okay, what we're going to do, guys. this is actually a great conversation. we're going to take a quick break and get to some of these opinions i know you all want to say right after this. there is no typical day. there's nothing typical about making movies. i'm victoria alonso and i'm an executive producer at marvel studios. we are very much hands on producers.

follows an ugly campaign in which we have seen racism and cynicism normalized, misogyny mainstream, islamophobia. his nomination is a 30 year record in the senate of failing grades which was back to civil rights as a prosecutor in alabama, african-american attorney as a boy, said that the naacp and aclu were un-american organizations forcing civil rights down the throats of americans and so we have a bad record in the senate and record as a prosecutor following a campaign in which anti-semitism and racism and misogyny became the order of the day. let's be clear about this. where we have seen in recent days 701, at least, hate crimes as attested to by the southern poverty law center. we have seen parents and teachers afraid for their children and a country divided by race and religion and distrust, in which racial dog whistles are blown so we have really americans at one another in racial or i should say cowering in fear because of the climate in this country. we need an attorney general who will stand up for civil rights. >> no surprise, mike pence and other members of donald trump's transition

mitt romney has a very good record on the republican party's islamophobia going back to 2012 and i think he would be a vote of conscience inside the trump administration when you have people like general flynn who have condemned islam. i would breathe easier with mitt romney. >> i think the headline is peter beinart comes out for mitt romney here. >> strange bedfellows. >> i want to take a moment to recognize the difference in the two people we're talking about potentially up for the secretary of state gig. mitt romney. rudy giuliani, former mayor of new york city. who have had diametrically opposed views of donald trump during this campaign. let's take a walk down memory lane here. >> donald trump is a phony. a fraud. >> i am sick and tired of the defamation of donald trump. >> donald trump lacks the temperament to be president. >> he has the temperament to win. >> mr. trump's bombast is already alarming our allies. >> he is a man who's not afraid to say radical islamic terrorism. >> let isis take out assad, he said. this recklessness is recklessness in the extreme. >> donald trump has

. >> ( translated ): a lot of people kept their islamophobia hidden before, but now they feel it's okayxpress their aversion and criticism of islam in general and towards muslims in particular. it's created a new social tension which has given more justification to the jihadis in their strategy of dividing french society in order to lure back the muslim community to their cause. >> reporter: france is gearing up for a presidential election in six months' time. the latest opinion polls suggest almost a third of the electorate believe the hard-line stance of marine le pen, leader of the right wing national front, would make the country a safer place. but the divisions in society exposed by last year's attacks worry those most affected. >> candidates are playing this card, and it's a very dangerous path because the most important thing is to be precise in targeting the terrorism, the extremism, daesh, and not doing anything which could help them to recruit. >> ( translated ): i think that the most beautiful response we can give the terrorists is love, joy, happiness, culture, music. so, we

i will not compromise with islamophobia. a democracy, what is deeply ingrained, i hope in all of us, the understanding that many of the policy issues we have discussed this morning, honest people have different ones of you. there are different points of view on trade. i do not think the people who are terrible people, terrible human beings because they disagree with me on trade. there are areas that i would have hoped in the year 2016 we would have put behind us. and that is to say that we treat people with equality. that in the year 2016, we're not going to discriminate against summative because that person is a muslim or that person is a woman or that person is gay. i would have hoped in the year 2016 we have gone beyond -- those are battles that have been won already. i will not retreat on those issues. on the other hand, if donald trump comes up with an idea or program which he campaigned on that says that our infrastructure is crumbling, we can creep millions of jobs rebuilding our infrastructure, that we can put people

to not white supremacy separately from misogyny, not from xenophobia separate from racism and islamophobia, but in the way that all of those things come together. so, we are going to have to defend people against street violence, which may emerge as a greater threat than before and defend people against being deported. when we do that, it will have to be in the context of protecting and defending refugees who've come here fleeing the war and that means we have to work to stop the war that people are fleeing when they come here as refugees and immigrants and migrants, so that when we call for the cities to become once again cities for sanctuary and called on the state's based institutions, churches and synagogues and mosques to become themselves laces up refuge and century, that means at the same time we have to be calling on them to demand them and to the -- and then to the wars that put these people at risk and at the same time demand that our government change our policy of not allowing people to come here and reclaim the notion that we are a nation based on not just the rule of law but
