what really is a scary throughout the course is to a five so we pick up things like koran. turbans prayer rugs things that are really not part of our american custom so when we know that they're coming from the middle east which even even. more concerning to me is the fact that we've got it in a president in the. in the white house that has not even wanted to disclose the fact that he is a stranger he's actually a usurper and he gave an old he swore certain things and he's not committed to it so he's obviously not committed to the constitution. our government has been getting infiltrated for the last few decades and even before that that's the way they want to take over the government that's the way they want to take over the system that's the way they want to take over the country. and these are the trails that most of the migrants. that take place take place along. last year they reported two hundred eighty. because. they just. report. that had not yet been found. because it is really difficult. this. time. because one. the. the. all right i got a question. do you have pi

factor and have a greater level of equal justice for every american but also we are taught in the koran that god created humanity from a single-payer, male, female and made us into different nations and tribes who know each other, not despise each other. i don't have any use for las vegas is 11 group is exalted above another group. even if i'm the group that is savory. so i don't really subscribe to that kind of thinking either. so that's another issue. but at the end of the day, you know, i believe we need action orientation, human equality and that is kind of why i am not an award with that kind of thing. >> host: in the book you write this as a direct quote, i don't want to defend or support anything because i happen to be muslim. the uri to called upon to do that. it's true. just go you could look at this whole issue of my status as a muslim. you can go one of two ways. you can try to ignore it and say it's my individual and private business or you can say, look, if my colleagues and information about what islam is coming a bit on how to do it the muslim community, the muslim world,

i knew knowing, never knew anything about the koran, but to look into this and see if i could find something that gave me a new outlet to express my spirituality, islam. >> let me try this one out, there is a moment in time and you just alluded to it when you become aware of the inconsistencies that you find in the bible and you begin olook at it more of a historical document and begin to look at it. what's the choice you made and why did you make it to continue to pursue the bible on a historical track, as opposed to continuing along with what you had been taught? >> as a thing of devotion, yeah. well, i remember you know, i remember something that one of my priests said to me, which was that if it's true, then you shouldn't be afraid of it. and that was eye-opening for me. it made me realize that if what i think the bible says, and what we know is true about the history of this man, you know, jesus of nazareth, conflict, then it's the history that's correct. >> hmm. >> and that the truth in -- truth should not in any way change who you are, what you think. and what's fascinating is that ha

if you are muslim, and you relate to your relationship with the koran and the religion, there are differences of interpretations. as far as americans are concerned and the western world is concerned, the fundamentalist jihad or terrorist attack against people, there is no misunderstanding. host: another question related to 9/11. do you believe capturing and/or killing -- an important objective after 9/11, or could the bush it ministration have abandoned that goal? guest: very important. very important to do what the president said we would do, bring him to justice one way or the other. it was a powerful and meaningful demonstration of our resolve to get the perpetrator of the heinous, brutal, barbaric act. at the end of the day, the network continues to expand. it is a reality the international community will have to deal with. if there is any suggestion of a previous individual talking about a misunderstanding of words, a war on terror, a war against terrorism might have been misunderstood. we are really at war against a mindset, and ideology, a belief system. for many reasons, that the leas

kinds of desecrations of this type of taken place there was a in afghanistan where they were burning korans even though that said it was accidental but it ends up on video and it's counterproductive to. american interests and image worldwide now considering the fights in the middle east have often been in muslim countries how haven't american muslims fared in these wars well there have been american muslims who have fought and died in various combat situations around the world i personally know of an american muslim who served on d.-day in world war two hit the beaches on d.-day so muslims have been in the military they continue to be in the military thousands estimates upwards of eleven thousand muslims in the in our military so these issues will continue to come up and again it's just the responsibility of the top officials to make sure that these things don't happen while protecting religious freedoms for all of the military personnel and has military leadership been responsive to this for the most part responsive it's a huge bureaucracy so sometimes it's hard to access that bureaucracy

they come from meats and breads they are fed up with the koran to open it needs to stay in one of the ward off your debts or to attack and trying and on government buildings to attacks on him and it's an acceptable way of protest. this was not the way which has been show was an out by the odd that movement i can really i can promise you that i have talked to many keep it from use in western ukraine. they want a peaceful solution. shorty elicited the fact that the authorities the police offices of been accused of brutality by the eu. peaceful protests to be seen in ukraine received lots of green material from the past week so no it was all to please me as it ought to determine that all of the latch that today in ukraine. i think that everybody dies is a depressant. not too much. i did a few years since long time that there might yet very very. it cost escalation and pops who can stop it. who can stop that those who can stop that are part of the government to cut off ukraine and the president datuk all that today is the fast with the utility to state how we go all out back to the table

and that is what, you know, but i also said, we are thought in the koran that got created humah humanity from a single pair and made us into different nations and tribes so we can know each other, not despise each other. and i don't know have anything for a group that says one group is another even if i am in the favored group. i don't subscribe to that thinking so that is another issue. but i believe we need action orientation, human equality and that is why i am not on board with that kind of thing. >> in the book you write, and this is a direct quote, i don't want to have to support or defend anything just because i am muslim, but you are often called upon to do so. >> yeah, here is the thing. you can look at the issue of me being a muslim one or two ways: you can ignore it and say it is my individual business. or you can say if my colleagues needs information about what islam is, need perspective on dealing with the muslim. i am going to use this moment in time to serve to improve on this idea of inclusion in america and so that is kind of what i have done. i have decided that whethe

that is kind of what -- and i also said, in islam, we are taught in the koran that god created humanity from a single pair, male and female, and made us into different nations and tribes so we would know each other and not dispise each other. i don't have any use for a philosophy that says one group is above another group even if i am in the group that is favored. i don't subscribe to that kind of thinking. so that is another issue. but at the end of the day we need action and equality and that is why i am not on board with that kind of thing. >> host: in the book you write, and this is a direct quote, i don't want to have to defend anything because i am muslim. but you are often called upon to do that. >> guest: yes, you can look at the issue of my status as a muslim in one or two ways. you can try to ignore it and say it is my individual/private business. or you can say if my colleagues need information about what islam is or perspective on dealing with the world i am embrace that because this is about liberty and justice for all and i am going to use this moment in time that i am abl

many is triable, it's certainly not mandated in the koran. i was around people in women in black who were very much covered, and there was me in a western suit. so it was an eye-opening experience. but i also found the opportunity to interact with women from all over the arab world was what i wanted to do. that's why i was there. i moderated a panel on discrimination in sports, which ended up being very much about racial and ethnic discrimination and not furthering opportunities for women and girls. i think there's a lot of work to be done, but that's what i do. >> host: in your most recent book women's history for "beginners." you open it by saying read through a basic history book. say a state approved u.s. history textbook intended for middle school classrooms, and you're left with the impression that all of human history was achieved by one sex. >> guest: yeah. well, and unfortunately that continues. the biggest challenge for me, let's say as an american educator, is that women's history and women's studies frighten people because the ass

it's the reason thomas jefferson got his own copy of the koran that the library of congress still has. he wanted to see for himself. he was so well-read. he couldn't believe there was a religion that had a book, a holy book for a basis that would allow anyone to interpret it in such a way as to kill innocent men, women and children. there have been, to be sure, purported christians over the ages that thought it was their duty to go about and brutalize people who were not christians, but anyone who studies the teachings of christ about how we're to individually act knows those would not have been christians doing the kind of iolence that they did. it's not supported by the bible . what is supported in the bible is if you do evil, be afraid because god does not give the government to sort in vain. individually we're not supposed vigilantes, but there is in an orderly society a need to have a government that will punish evil and encourage good conduct. and this little experiment in he democracy in a republican rm of government is so fragile, and it bothers me when i read and hear those w

if we went to some sort of -- is it possible in the koran technologcurrenttechnology to pe of theft -- i see a lot of blank looks. >> at the breaches that we are talking about in neiman marcus and target is done by people infiltrating the system in the computer network. >> i thought they came in with a card. it's difficult to decide and again these are very complex of the gated criminals and they have inserted the code into the system that was able to collect. >> abated by penetrating thetheg the system from outside through a computer link not t buy a car that they insert. >> the investigation at this point is indicating its from transnational criminals from outside of the borders of the united states. >> i would hope since everybody agrees this is a problem and the federal government should legislate we can come up with the best practice set of recommendations to present to the committee and then let us only in the way that we can, and we will try to move on something hopefully in this congress. with that i am going to yield back 34 seconds to the chair. >> thank you very much. the c

well, sufis have a quite traditional view of the koran and women's rights. would like to see fuller coverage that gives all angles of the story. but certainly islam became the news because of negative news events. and it's much harder to get into initiatives that are happening within islam and within between religions that are positive developments. such as the common word initiative that's happening within islam. i know that tony blair's faith foundation is very involved trying to encourage engagement as well as look at the role of relidge only in foreign policy, an area he believes has been underassessed for many years when people look at the ideologies and different economic circumstances but not looking at religious causes and the outshoot of the tony blair initiative and all of that was all these initiatives to bring young people together to talk religion. and that's very interesting, but it's quite hard to sell as ews stories. >> 9/11 wasn't the thing which was given a boost to islam and the coverage of islam. the truth of the matter is barry gunther,
