the koran gave women rights equal to that of man. equal, really equal. and women in the seventh century enjoyed liberties that many women don't have today. and so i can't help but wonder is moderately taking us forward, where or is it taking a word -- taking us backwards? i'd like to share two sources of inspiration that really helped me at this moment. helpless andeling at an all-time low. the first source of inspiration --e from a verse in the iran in the koran, where our creator said, and i quote, god will not change the condition of the changeuntil they first what is in themselves. in other words, if you want to see change in your external environment, change the condition of your internal environments. change the condition of your heart and your mind. [applause] if you want to see more love in the world, have a loving heart. if you want more positivity around you, think positive thoughts. if you want more peace in the world, be the pc want to see around you. it's just that simple. and if you want to see a better government, go out and vote. [applaus

more controversy in society as you remember his case and also his controversial remarks about this koranic verse led to huge protests here in the indonesian capital one of the largest protest in indonesia in modern history and also his supporters went to the streets trying to defend him amnesty international has called a hawk a prisoner of conscience and has asked for his immediate release but as things are looking now because also the prosecutor didn't appeal the verdict it looks like a hawk will be released somewhere in two thousand and nineteen he will probably get some deductions for good behavior is basically spending his time reading a lot he's reading a lot of religious books the koran and also the bible is learning local languages and he is receiving a lot of visitors in prison that he still quite popular here among some groups here in jakarta at the moment do you think a hawk's political careers overall what's next for him. well no his political career is not necessarily over he will be released in two thousand and nineteen which is a very important political year here in indonesi

so we bring them people renowned and modern people, not, you know, the preachers that just say the koran said this and that and start decanting that. that's not enough. so, the end result is that the first pilot study of these was 25 people or more, 19 jihadists who were arrested before 9/11, and 6 islamic state people are fighters, and 13 of them have been amidsted. they're working outside. they have social projects where they're helping society, and those have been rehabilitated and are now preaching to their peers. so this approach is very general in getting to this and the question is, these are the new things. so, if you ask me what are the main thing to do with what is the drawback that we're facing, i'd call it, as i always say, i call a spade a spade. it struck me that each of you spoke in different ways about a similar issue, which is the drivers of radicalization and how this is not just about developing a pure security or a law enforcement or military approach to solving the problem, but it has to also take into account religious education, social, economic issues. admiral akr

and get this, the koran gave women's rights equal to that of man. equal, really equal., is it taking us forward or backward? right now, i was like to share to sources of information -- two sources of information that helped me at this moment when i was feeling helpless and at an all-time low. the first source of inspiration came from a verse in the koran where our creator says and i quote, "god will not change a theytion of a people until first change what is in themselves." if you want to see change in your external environment, change the condition of your internal environment. change the condition of your heart and your mind. [cheering] to see more love in the world, have a loving heart. if you want more positivity around you, think positive thoughts. if you want more peace in the world, be the piece you want to see around you -- be the peace you want to see around you. it is that simple. and if you want to see a better government, go out and vote. [cheers and applause] >> the second source of inspiration came to me from an iconic pop singer who sang "man in the mirr

them at least some of them have little or no options than to do what they are asked to do a bible koran. or chicago group in particular has been accused of killing people for the police be a surprise including from a comment as captured by the nigerian military so it's clear that these goes the brainwashed or in fact are trying to readjust to their new reality or have no option other than to do the bidding so their captors so what's the status of the negotiations to get these girls freed. well basically the nigerian government says negotiations are still continuing remember the last time more than eighty girls have been released to the nigerian government and these have been rehabilitated and released into the society the been reunited with their families the nigerian government insisted that negotiations are still continuing but at the same time we see in the book nigerian military stepping up its operations on book factions the i will look at your top options they are but no proxies and similar factions in the lake chad and these are these are area perhaps that prompted some analysts

burnings that took place that made their way to video and when those koran burnings go out in video it resulted in several demonstrations taking place at various embassies and the problem is that lives can be jeopardized. it is really important the president understand. i'm not sure he fully understood the implications of what he was doing but it is clear that it is not something he should do because when you do that, you tweet something like that out there you don't know what the consequences are going to be and it could involve lives. better not to do that and i hope he will reframe from doing that in the future. twitter makes your job harder. >> for lots of things in the intelligence community. there are days we have good days and days we -- i know what question you are going to ask. >> an account on twitter makes your job harder. >> i don't know that that is the case. i have seen things the president has put on his twitter account have real-world impact on our capacity to understand what is going on, our adversaries respond to those tweets in ways that are helpful to us to under

community in grief after zeinab i'm sorry vanished on her way to a koran class last week and this is the last image of her alive an unknown man leading her away holding her hand. police discovered her body on this trash heap on tuesday and sari is believed to have been raped several times and then strangled to death her family wants a thorough investigation. what i'm told by you. demanding that the murderer be arrested alive to be. the police shouldn't just try to lift the burden from themselves by killing some innocent person and then saying now you have justice. the law whore high court chief justice has ordered the police to take swift action in this case but with residents furious at what they see as a failure to properly investigate previous abductions there could well be more protests to come. our want to tell you now about some of the other stories making news around the world. the saudi led coalition for aiding in yemen has said it courted an attack on a saudi tanker by who think fighters over the weekend will get a coalition destroyed a boat carrying explosives near the red

it difficult to answer what is quite likely that it is that timing that he wants to show that the koran still has strings of a backlash a cow wants to make clear that the group is not technically defeated as the president has repeatedly been saying yeah amazing four years later and still so many unanswered questions about the chief book girls our correspondent adrian creech on the story for us tonight in nigeria adrian thank you very much a mezzanine floor overlooking the main wabi of the indonesian stock exchange in jakarta collapsed today injuring about seventy people no deaths reported now the building was the target of a car bombing by islamist militants back in two thousand but police have ruled out a bomb attack this tell. video captured the moment of the collapse visiting students standing on a mezzanine had no time to react. miraculously no one on the landing or in the lobby below was killed. i'm the patient with the most serious injury has a bone fracture another three people were also suspected to have broken bones. but i will need to confirm that with an m.r.i. or c.t. scan.

he had no degrees in the koran, never studied islam or islamic thought but that's where his power came from. the argument was even more mosix-inch than that.the argument was that it doesn't matter what the imams have to say. they very fact that they say it from a position of learned authority negates their position altogether. and that's why the leaders of his movement were doctors and engineers and sociologists. they work imams. they were scholars or religious leaders. that's not who they wanted. so again, i think if you understand what the argument is, and what's at stake, then suddenly things become clear. stop talking about a reformation. stop recognizing the reformation that you are living through. >> i've got a couple questions here that are framing secularism as this foregone conclusion or in one case as a challenge. can you speak more about the non's and about their relationship to religion as an implied teacher of religion? >> let's defined terms once again. there is secularismand secularization. we are not a secular country . . far from it. we are a secularized country in the
