and of course killing someone is against the koran. how would you justify any of the killing, be it 9/11 or any later, how do you -- what struggle is it and who are we struggling against and how is the cause so powerful that you break with the prohibition of killing innocent people including children. >> you're absolutely correct that the term jihad means struggle and in the koran it means both struggle in terms of ritual struggle and also quite -- there's a technical term for fighting. but the muslims view jihad, when they toefld the legal literature on warfare they developed the term jihad because they thought when you fight, when you fight the field it's different when you fight for god. that's why the struggle for something more noble is the struggle for god that's why christians call it just war, because war is a problem. when you talk about just war it's equivalent to jihad. this is the equivalent of jihad from the islamic tradition. from the perspective of al qaeda, you know, when they are fighting, they are not, they don't beli

there was a report that a koran had been flushed down a toilet at guantanamo bay. and there were riots in three countries and people were killed. dead. gone. now, a lie can race around the world in 30 seconds. and while the truth is -- i think mark twain said the truth is still pulling its boots on. and what do you have to do? you have to find out, did that happen? we can't lie. terrorists can lie. they have media committees, terrorists do. they sit down and plan media things so that they can have events that advantage them in the world by using the free press and the media. we can't do that, and we don't. but what happened? well, people died. and weeks later "newsweek" magazine, that had carried the report that the koran had been flushed down the toilet at guantanamo, found out the truth, and the truth was it hadn't. it had not happen. it did not exist. and they ran a little thing in "newsweek" that said, oh, to the extent our article was inaccurate, we're sorry. well, sorry? they're dead. i mean, the basic lead in the news business is if it bleeds it leads. and g

there is, in fact, a chapter in the koran that talks about women who discuss and argue with the profit mohammed. that's how active they were. they went to war. in fact, women, one of the profits' wives was the commander of an army. in the early years of islam, women, were more actives than they were in the following years. for centuries, most modern societies, and i have to adhere that not all islamic societies, modern majority countries, are necessarily hom ogenius, but i think that's patterns that continue in these societies. for instance, sex segregation. what is sex segregation? it's the division of the social space into the world of men, that's the world of politics, the outside world, the streets, the world of money, and whatnot. the inside is the world of women. what is considered the private. now, progressively over the course of the last 14 centuries, women were segregated further and further. it is only in the middle of the 19th century that some men and some women thought that the societies being deprived of the contribution of half its population in the public arena so you

the burning of korans. by the united states forces on the ground. in afghanistan. and then the u.s.soldier who went awol and killed 17 afghan civilians. that tested this relationship even further. if you step back and look at this, just through president stepping back from the relationship with president karzai you messaged before the candidate in 2008, president obama said he would pull back from iraq and focus on afghanistan and focus on getting osama bin laden, and he did get bin obviously, and he has brought united states troops home from iraq, but, he sent more united states troops on the ground to afghanistan, something he talked about in 2008 and we now have 90,000 united states troops on the ground in afghanistan. by the end of 2012, with this status of forces agreement that jennifer was reporting on, we are expected to have 65,000 united states troops on the ground and reduced downed to 65,000 by the end of this year. and, then, most all of u.s. forces out bit end of 2014. this is a lost work to do but i remember a year ago tonight, being here, reporting from the white hous

. >> the koran troubles started in what should have been a harmless operation of the chief investment officer -- the trouble started in what should have been a harmless operation of the chief investment officer. if a bank lends money to accompany this unit would be responsible for buying the insurance policy. that is how it should work, but the unit made deaths that have blown up in the brakes face -- main estimates -- bets that have blown up in the bank's face. in a surprise conference call the chief executive jamie diamond describes these as self inflicted mistakes, and he described them as not up to his standards. mr. diamond has been a tough critic of the role to reduce risks at thankbanks. he may find it harder to argue his case. >> millions of egyptians have been watching the country's first live debates between the presidential candidates. they are two of the 13 candidates vying to be the first democratically elected candidate. >> this is how many egyptians started their weekend, glued to television screens, watching the country's first-ever presidential debates. good it hits t

incidents in afghanistan from racy pictures of war to the burning of korans. we'll keep an eye on that, and we'll get that live report from the pentagon to you as well. first, a warning now to women. there's a suspected kidnapper on the move. he tried to snatch two in atlanta, and police believe he will strike again. this is what he is believed to look like. in a sketch the victims helped the police create. this man is suspected of dragging one woman at gunpoint right off her front porch and then throwing her in the trunk of his car. she escaped by clawing her way through the liner, struggling with the latch, and theb jumping out of the trunk as the car was speeding away. the would-be kidnapper struck again just about 20 minutes later. grabbing and punching a woman who was walking to her car. she escaped, and is now actually on the phone with us now, but she still fears for her safety and her life and so she does not want her name or her picture shown. first of all, how are you feeling? >> i'm feeling fine right now. thank you. >> okay. so you are walking to y

the sergeant, the burning of the korans and this agreement is meant to say, look, we understand these things happen, but there is a u.s./afghan partnership, a strategic relationship and that continues. >> given what we have been reporting on, though, to an fly on the wall of the conversation between president obama and president karzai, but what conversation is he really walking into, what ultimately is the goal walking out of that? >> i think that both karzai and president obama are serious about the long term national interests of their country. karzai whom i've spoken to many times has his complaints with the united states on tack tactical issues. but on the the question of should afghanistan be tied allied with the united states, he's very clear and has been clear from day one. so i suspect he, too, needses to right things because his public opinion has been veering in a dangerous direction. for president obama, i think what he's trying to signal as to all the regional players there, don't think that we're leaving. we're still going to be a presence. you have to take us into accou
