in the koran it's implicitly stated in the holy koran when a young mangos on jiha d and this is a spiritual endeavor to seek knowledge. it could also mean he's going into a group. but he has to get blessings from his mother first and if he doesn't do that it's shameful and disgraceful. after 911 the taliban had a high desertion rate and they were trying to get recruit groups to fight against intervention and coalition and they went in literally impoverished societies because educated women refused to allow they're sons to fight in theal bonn. you have a less educated mother here. single parent in the difficult system. the higher education a women has the more likely her son is to go on with education rather than getting into violence and drugs and certainly she won't condone her son getting into a gang or drugs. i've sometimes been criticized for that because they say all the 911 hijackers were educated and had university degrees and that certainly is true. but nobody botherd to check they're mothers and nearly all of them were i late rate an illiterate. exciting news and then i have to unf

worthy of killing the individual if they created this horrible crime in his mind according to the koran of becoming a christian. that's worth killing him for. but since he couldn't be sure that in a foreign country, in a battle with muslims that he might not be required to shoot someone who had not committed a postsy, had not committed some act that justified murder under the koran, then he could not be deployed and if he were deployed he'd have to kill american soldiers to avoid having to go kill soldiers overseas. and it's interesting because you would think that the military would be concerned about this issue and that we would try to make sure that this incident, as happened at fort hood, would not happen again. and so you would think that when this private showed up on al jazeera in uniform and told al jazeera basically the same things that major hasan had, that people like general casey would be concerned. but apparently he was more concerned about our diversity than he was about the lives of his own soldiers. and so when you had this private on al jazeera and it's not hard, you c

i mean, everything -- it relates it to the koran and they cite it for purpose and meaning and what that i have doing and justification for it as well. so when -- when i'm putting together and creating an identity, i pick a particular, you know, tribe, you know, and then figure out exactly what the aspects, the attributes for those and how i'm going to play those out. earlier, i would pick ones that i was more familiar with and make it -- some of the larger tribes so -- i mean, there's, you know, a way for me to not be known. one of the things that people don't get and it's hard to understand is exactly how important it is that their faith plays into everything that they do. so in communicating and doing any kind of communications back and forth, that's key to, you know, doing the proper greetings and whatever you're doing for that reason. but all of that plays into the legitimacy that, you know, you ultimately want to portray. >> any other comments, questions? thank you, sharon. >> thank you. >> we do have copies of unexpected patriot available in the lobby. she will be glad to sign the

him to take part in that action and that their discussions were of a more spiritual nature about the koran lucky did praise major nidal hasan after the fort hood shootings but again that's not any evidence that he was involved that the most serious allegation against a lockie is that he provided operational support to the alleged underwear bomber that you were referring to earlier but there has been no evidence and certainly no evidence that would stand up in a court of law other than hearsay to indicate that that's true that's why it would have been important to have a trial or an indictment but the obama administration is hiding behind state secrets much like the bush administration did when the center for constitutional rights of the a.c.l.u. represented father in a u.s. court the prime motivation for them representing him was to say to the government if you're going to assert the right to kill one of your own citizens we demand to see the evidence against him and that case was dismissed on state secret grounds and so the obama administration saying we have this evidence we just can't s

not to stereotype people or encourage actions such as the minister in action who wanted to burn the koran. we should not be doing that. we have to be aware this anxiety exists in the american mind after 9/11. the fact that there is an indisputable connection between radical islam and terrorism in the world but at the same time we have to preserve american principles of independence, judging people as individuals and protecting their liberty, particularly religious liberty. >> some folks heard the first part and ignored the second. >> if it was just that i think it would be forgivable in my mind and i have to work on my own level of forgiveness but what it was was there are people who are invested in attacking and trying to make a larger point and they were willing to sacrifice me and my journalistic independence to do it. the council on american islamic relations cared, bit like the idea that anybody would engage bill o'reilly to their point and say i won't play games with you. i think you were right because our look at the facts of who were in those planes and use those airplanes as inst

but if anybody says anything negative about the koran, let's make that a crime. there are well intentioned people in this capitol who are thinking that maybe we need a law like that and when people push that kind of law, they are moving to subvert our united states' first amendment rights under the constitution to sharia law. and once that were to happen, then that goal can be checked off of the goals that were established by the muslim brotherhood in 2005. they are hoping to get that done by 2015. a great way to do that is to people like me or people in the justice department, are trainers who would teach people about the ideas of radical islam as islamaphobes and continue to have courses they fund to encourage laws to prevent islama phobia and they have laws to prevent laws and even on a television program today, an a theist called crist nant a hate religion -- crist yant because he says yees us created a hell and said we shouldn't admire christmas. some of us know that jesus was not likely born in december, but more likely in the spring time when shepards are
