it's not enough this has not sent up on christianity or judaism in the digital time if they are not separate separate from each other who don't like him and that sort of. god has not made any division among the nations with their hands on how to use that god loves all human means i mean somehow. and god has created all human beings on one equal basis for better you saw that in somehow faith and religion has been offered a lot of the almighty for the well being of him be extended rigid now that there is only one religion as a term i see how would. jesus horizon as author of the same religion i'm with him i suppose if you had to measure but in proportion to the capacity of human beings i shouted to his own. human beings of two thousand years ago. nosers has also author of the same religion. was brought in for a version of the r.v. on beings two thousand six hundred years ago. but it is not one of the you know of the prophet of islam also author of the same religion i'm going to run religion but he offered a complete speculation. isn't there any carful or differences among christians. or betwee

there's references to moses and judaism. and according to the widespread belief of scholars of islam that you could not be a muslim unless you honor judaism and christianity. you cannot exclude those two faiths from the internal composition of what the prophet was saying when this whole koran became what it is. that, i think, is my biggest advice to the muslim community in america and get smarter on your own faith. praying five times a day is a ritual that is important, but it is not islam. it is the ability to have a sense of tolerance for judaism, christianity, and all faiths of the world. that's the message that i think is not being heard by the american public. >> okay. the time of the gentleman has expired. >> thank you, mr. chairman. thank you for holding this hearing. i think it's an important time to do it. and time to carry on what this committee was originally established to do and i thank you as well for hanging the pictures in the back of the room again, to remind us of the purpose of this committee that we would

fake preachers like hagee, vicious bigots like hagee, have problems with more religions than just judaisms said this about catholicism, which happens to be the single largest religion in the united states of america. he says catholicism is a false cult system, and that was just him warming up. that was just hagee taking batting practice against catholicism. he has also said catholicism is "a godless theology of hate." now, i'm not going to take time here to argue with hagee on that, the whole godless theology of hate, but catholic voters would certainly argue with rick perry for hanging with hagee and catholic voters are the single largest religious voting block in america. 27% of american voters are catholic, and the catholic vote has gone to the popular winner in every presidential election since 1972. ridiculous rick perry is now married to the idea that catholicism is a godless cult. i will see he stays married to that statement every day his hopeless campaign for president is underway. joining me now, national director of catholic democrats, steve kroouger, thank you for joining me t

i think that's true with islam, christianity, judaism, hinduism, mormons but i think it's universal to all these religions if you just follow them too literally and too seriously at the expense of everything else, that's when you're going to have the problems. >> yes, if i may cite my own religion, the gita, the holy book was a discourse on battlefields. now if you follow that literally it literally is a call for war or a justification for war. what's happened is gandhi and all these progressive sort of reformers reinterpreted it allegorically which i think a lot of indians, i think, today sort of follow the gita not literally but you can do it that way and use it as a justification for war so you're absolutely right. that any religion taken too literally and follow too rigidly can lead to problems. absolutely. >> i really appreciated your presentation tonight. >> oh, thank you. >> i must say i'm not totally optimistic about some of the same things you are you mentioned sufism and you didn't mention wahhabism which is a great influence in egypt and you didn't mention the word fatwa and

who i think was one of the great figures of the planet center in his own right and then more about judaism and you are curled back courts. it's just continuing to me and the same amount mix -- a continuing opening of the new doors of education from the freedom movement period. c-span: who is your favorite civil rights leader? >> guest: dr. ken. c-span: what you think of him? >> guest: i admire him now more than i did when i started coming and what i started with -- and i knew he was part of this movement that had affected me and i kind of admire him, but i thought maybe he was just a baptist preacher who got carried away with turning the other cheek. c-span: who disappoints you after you get to know them more? >> guest: investor.? most of us -- people in congress, barry goldwater's republican party, which turned from the party of lincoln into the party of the white south on a dime and one year in 1964. and i hope it doesn't stay because i know all kind of republicans who like to get the party of lincoln back. southern sheriffs and politicians. c-span: j.b. stoner? >> guest: ghosh, j.b. sto
