have the word jihad in them but one of my favorite is from a young egyptian call that jihad jones. [laughter] it is a parody on the muslim stereotypes and another one is until jihad do us part which is believe it or not a romantic comedy. wrote it is also reflected in the new muslim comedies where you find a young muslim comedians telling jokes against the extremist or the religious you craft in ways that the politicians will not. and more importantly the idea of skepticism and cynicism and ridicule which can is a common denominator as the 20 of counter jihad. there are a lot of different angles but i went to close with the couple of points. we celebrate today as an extraordinary day which is the beginning of what i call the beginning of a long process. we should have no illusions on the capabilities of the arab uprising that challenges are many one of those being the basic of dividing up the political and economic spoils. my great fear is the message that resonates today is the economy stupid will also resume in this part of the world were only one country of the 22 arab countries

political tool to invoke jihad. that is what he is using it as far as to create enthusiasm among the arab tribesmen that the turkish officers are going to use to organize to fight the italians. it is the world's first air war. you saw airpower applied in a very specific way, very helpful way. not decisive. that is libya 2011. air power was first deployed in libya, italians using dirigible's and early aircraft starting platforms or reconnaissance platforms. they would go after the turks and arab positions in the desert and do very little damage to them. aircraft technology and important technology. this applies to arabs spring. the components of self-determination to those murders, in 1911 or 1912 there was a collision between a one of the great power in italy and the fading great power whose collapse in part, the ottoman empire of culturally islamic society that in comparative terms is failing to modernize economically, socially or technologically at the same pace as its competitors. that is one of the things going

so he said jihad by the sword is done. >> for many muslims and certainly in south asia as the movement was developing, extraordinarily controversial, rejected. it was seen as the equivalent of heresy. >> and that view persists. today there are millions, some say tens of millions, of ahmadi muslims spread across 195 countries. in many parts of asia and the middle east, they face severe persecution. in pakistan, ahmadis are even officially declared nonmuslim. they are legally forbidden to call themselves muslims or their houses of worship mosques. and they are frequent targets of violence. >> i go with this fear that during the night i might get a phone call that some of my very close loved ones have been kidnapped or killed or, or their properties have been looted and this kind of fear is going on and nobody can do anything. >> mahdi says it's painful, but his faith forbids any kind of retaliation. >> islam promotes peace and islam does not need any kind of blood shedding in the name of islam. >> according to esposito, despite the persecution, ahmadis have a strong missionary tradition.

especially another persian gulf states have been funding jihad is not only from within the country but from libya for example and i'll swear i. i find it very difficult to believe that. it's all too much go western style democracy employer is unwilling freedom is what we're seeing in syria basically said islamic revolution absolutely if we've been hearing constant greatly exaggerated predictions of the syrian regime's d. minus for eleven months now if a popular revolution was going to happen it would have happened already the fact is that though they may have no great love for the cucumber face president. the. general feeling of better the devil we know and you talk about the arab league do you think that the mission in syria has essentially played into the hands of days to exacting pressure on the syrian authorities and it is overstepping its mark when it makes demolishes while the mediating the arab league essentially has no credibility on the arab street and everyone knows that it's the top of the g.c.c. and so it's a means not to create momentum that the arab league itself can then

aid has dropped 70 percent after a year in the wake of that void many jihad and people labeled terrorists have set up camps. this is one here. in pakistan. and in that camp, there are many kids that are previously were going to school and now they have no school and the cost to help them go would be about one month per month per child. fifth grader 20 bucks a year. first grader five bucks a year. they get their food in the back on the mess tenth and then on the left is an extreme place where people get indoctrined into a violent islam. because of international lack of help for those kids to get implicated these kids are here. there's another camp here. osama bin ladins first assistant. spent two-years in gann tan know bay in cuba and he's running large camp and just down that the united states, 212 mash units. what's going on is they're agenda is to get people to be dependent and indoctrinate the violent islam. unfortunately we're a nonprofit in the states if we go into the camps or talk with anybody there we're affiliating with a terrorist organization and shut down by the, irs so we cre

, this also marks the beginning of a crack-up, a self-ignited blinder that blinds us to the global jihad. when did you begin to feel that strongly about general petraeus? >> i wish i could remember the exact year. there was a time in which, when he stepped to the forefront because we did not focus on him until that time so following 2006, when the policy became an american military effort to pacify the violence, and stop the civil war that was breaking out, that would thereby spark an iraqi renaissance that would make switzerland proud. this is a situation where we had a strategy that did not depend on what we could accomplish, but that we could accomplish that was there by the iraqis to accomplish. it was to be accomplished by appealing to the iraqi people in terms that were appeasing, to make them like us and want to please us. to make them want -- to buy their loyalty, which is what the sunni awakening was. it was bribery on a large scale. it was a very fuzzy-headed policy and it brought such havoc to the personnel and the military as well as the civilians over there. it was not worth

this is a man who said he wanted to wage jihad against the u.s. government. earlier this month he had pleaded not guilty, but just hours ag that all changed. antonio martinez spent weeks before making the decision to change his plea to guilty, admitting he attempted to use a weapon of mass destruction to blow up the recruitment center in 2010. the plot the government derailed with the help of an informant, who noticed alarming posts on his facebook page. >> i think the work the fbi did in this case is as good as it gets, it documented his intent, he intented to kill people and do damage and admitted that today. >> he went ahead and armed the bomb, drove the car, parked it in front of the building then went to a vantage point to see what would happen. >> the government claims martinez said it was his dream to wage a holy war against the united states. his plea agreement calls for a 25 year prison sentence. the sentence could change. it will be up to the judge. >> i wanted to get some comments from you guys about the plea today. >> martinez's defense declined t

they are not interested in the global jihad. they are concerned about the future of afghanistan alone. most have always argued the taliban had a different perspective from the arabs who use their country as a safe haven. and the ramadan statement with a long way toward confirming that. although he didn't directly address washington's demand that the taliban disassociate itself, the speech portrayed his organization very clearly as one with afghan interests in mind and not a global jihad against the rest. he talked about the abysmal poverty and the need to develop its foreign investment. he tried to reach out to the the sheikhs, uzbeks by promising that come close, all ethnicities will have participation in the regime and portfolios will be dispensed on the basis of the marriage. he said again, "contrary to the propaganda launched by our enemies, the policy of the islamic tel dan is not aimed at monopolizing power. so they've changed the line from what they had in 1996 when they captured kabul and they did try to monopolize power
