students start by learning to read the koran in arabic, one character at a time. maryani, who also worked as a prostitute for over ten years, runs the school. maryani says when living a desperate life, the sound of koran readings from the mosque provided a spiritual respite. this inspired maryani to start practicing a more principled way of life. maryani started by scraping a living as a street musician and eventually met some other waria which led to work at their beauty parlor. it was a local imam who proposed to maryani the idea of starting an islamic school for waria. seeing maryani's determination to study islam, he volunteered to serve as the school's teacher and reach out to other waria. maryani's home became the venue for the school. sadly, the imam recently passed away, but another imam now carries on his work. maryani also gets support from abdul, a local religious leader of great authority. he's a religious adviser to the state governor and firmly believes islam is a tolerant and humanitarian religion. maryani is holding a ceremony to mark 100 days sinc

everything in the koran is for its time and place for the seventh century. doesn't apply today and i wish that was the mainstream interpretation. i have to tell you credible polls show 10 to 15% of muslims around the world, about 160 million muslims that believe subscribe to the brotherhood of osama bin laden brandes islam. it is was a business i said earlier in the theological ammo is there. i hope the modern interpretation and i pray and i hope everyone in this room and watching at home prays that the moderate interpretation went south but i'm not optimistic because the brotherhood and there built by the gatekeepers not only in america but around the world and i think if there's going to be a reformation in islam i pray that it happens. it's going to be ugly and you will have to go to the carotid and the hadith do with a fine-toothed comb. i don't think islam is ready for that right now. see erick you talked about the obama administration pulling that aid because they thought it would be the muslim brotherhood were interjected into the political discussion

i never take you know never to never judge a book by the cover i want to actually read the koran and understand it and in the course of the journeying to places like the west bank with my father in two thousand and two and then traveling to somalia myself. all these you know these trips ultimately leading to iran in two thousand and eleven all these trips really opened my eyes to the islamic world and i saw islam as a continuation of the judeo christian tradition i see it you know very much for the prophet muhammad as a last prophet in that lineage and the koran is a very sensible book if you read it frankly it makes a whole lot of sense regarding their interpretation of jesus when they look at the prophet too as a prophet and obviously the abrahamic. lineage from abraham to moses are all very much respected in the koran and of course that any book can really be misinterpreted interpreted in different ways obviously your experiences worldwide that force you to see these myths firsthand and have them be constructed around someone who's very well versed in a lot of different engines wh

says i will forgive all of your sins that's what's written in the koran at the. head of chechnya ramzan kadyrov took a radical step to resolve the problem of blood vendettas he appealed to the people to forgive each other he also instructed the moms to use all possible means to reconcile sworn enemies i am the first week so forty nine reconciliations and after two years there have been five hundred forty five am to live with the one rule anyone committing the. knows that he will be killed. we asked them to bury the hatchet not just once not just ten times but a hundred we came in every time of day or night to plead with them to come to terms . but they scolded and cursed us they spat at us and shoot us away. they didn't even allow us to approach their home. and we put we hold no grudge against them we took an understanding view of the state of their mind. has two sons according to coke asian tradition children display strict to be dns to their fathers and help their parents to do the chores. third son hussein used to help to when he was born the entire tree guy o

>> we have this problem from our childhood because we couldn't read the koran, it was in arabic.ost people in iran don't know about islam or the koran because it is in arabic and they're tired of the wrong rules of islam and want to hear the message of jesus, his message is grace and love, completely different from the teaching of the koran. >> there's a lot of pressure from the international community to help you. you feel god intervened in your lives to get you out, so as you come to the u.s. for asylum, you can get the message out, tell people of your experience and opportunities that are there. >> yes, because of all these international pressure on iranian government, they had to release us, and also many christians. they were supporting us either by praying and sent letters to prison which made a huge difference and their behavior completely changed. and also we heard even pope from vatican sent letters to iranian government, because of all of these activities and pressure, the iranian government had to release us. >> i hope people get the book and read it. it is a remarkabl

with quotes from the koran, correct jack?e, great past governor, but listen to me. if he doesn't answer i'm going to answer you because you don't know what you're talking about ahmed malik. i found 109 times where the koran speaks for the people of islam to kill without mercy. now put it on the screen for me please. ...seize them and kill them [unbelievers] wherever you find them.. surah 4:89. ...strike terror into the hearts of the enemies of god and your enemies and others...surah 8:60. ...when the sacred months are over slay the idolaters wherever you find them. arrest them; besiege them; and lie in ambush everywhere for them...surah 9:5. believers, make war on the infidels who dwell around you. deal firmly with them, surah 9:123. get this one, when you encounter the infidels, strike off their heads, behead them, surah 47:4. i hope that answers you mr. malik. well you know you have the proof there jack and that's what we need is to have the proof of anything that we say. i want to make something clear that jack has a love
