you know an articulate view of mohamed morsi was quite articulate in the new york times on that subject you know what do you think about what's the role of islam and democracy and you know a tandem can they work together because western media a lot of pundits are very skeptical. they've been spectacle skeptical for a long time but i think those frameworks have collapsed with the arab spring we have seen. right left islamic religious non-religious all sorts of groups essentially what the populations want in the most sensuous terms they want more voice in the government and more representation of course depending on the country depending on the you know concert level of conservatism religiosity etc those will have an influence on the government structures and have a bigger role in the public space as people have more royce but if the rule of law prevails and you you are allowed to express your opinion and come into the political system and represent your group in a legitimate way that will be the future that should be the future of the region of course there are many. conservative forces

nations like egypt and libya however when egypt's new president spoke at the un for the first time mohamed morsi said free speech will not be accepted as a free pass to insult islam holy prophet. the obscenities recently released as part of an organized campaign against islamic sentences is unacceptable and requires a firm stand egypt respects freedom of expression one that is not directed towards one specific religion or culture but the opening of the un general assembly is usually criticized as political theater with a lot of talk this year however there was no talking with us president barack obama the leader of the country hosting the un left immediately after his speech on day one and held no bilateral meetings on day to the eighth and final speech of the always controversial iranian leader so accusations of corrupt western politics and a subtle tipping of the hat to the occupy wall street movement are we to believe that those who spend hundreds of millions of dollars in election campaigns have the interests of the people of the world at their heart in the united states and in europe their

egypt has made people nervous there let's talk a little bit about that i mean egypt's president mohamed morsi helped of the muslim brotherhood increase its footprint in the middle east so to speak but he himself says that there's no plan to export the revolution what's your take on that i think he's right i believe. in muslim brotherhood as i said has been very conservative nothing firebrand at all if it doesn't end up being exported anywhere is for be more likely to go to. syria or jordan rather than to the gulf egyptians have so many domestic problems right now but they're really not looking very much. united our arab emirates and other gulf monarchies have lost the you know they've avoided the arab spring so to speak any invented cold months has a western support for the areas being now put its allies in danger. some view it that way certainly neoconservatives in washington are ground was undermined. egypt threatens to overthrow the american. domination of the middle east but because of the goal in the very difficult position they want to eat on the side of a history of improvement in the

with anti-government demonstrators over one hundred bridges in egypt's most violent protest since mohamed morsi came to power james trysts is a former u.s. senate foreign policy analyst i spoke to him he said the threats of verticalization of egypt is very real. we were seeing a very rapid islamisation of the political structure in egypt and nobody should be surprised at this. if there was a lot of discussion about the power struggle that would ensue between morsi and the military and it seems. morsi and the brotherhood have triumphed much quicker than anybody expected and nobody should doubt what their ultimate intentions are in terms of strict enforcement of our sharia and they re creation of the caliphate the khilafat so i think this statement about jihad to recapture jerusalem should not come as any surprise to anyone i don't think the peace treaty with israel ultimately will be altered but we will see what form that takes and what it will take it i think the most important thing that strikes me is it shows the utter incoherence of american policy in the arab world by promoting the islamiza

think this is causing concern among those forty eight percent of egyptians who never voted for mohamed morsi and how much concern. to the news of the head of the governing muslim brotherhood this week called for a holy war to liberate jerusalem from israeli rule how did that go down if they do you think there's any real danger of age of actually breaking the peace accord has long had with israel. i don't think that there is an immediate term or near term danger of that happening simply because the economic price of such a move would be too much for the egyptian economy to bear. but i think if we look in the longer term future there is a risk of that happening with ken's ignore it it's not surprising that shaikh mohammed these from leader of the muslim brotherhood made that comment because this has been the official muslim brotherhood position since day one if we look at muslim brotherhood election rallies that were held before the president presidential elections we had speakers there saying we are all we must really just war against israel this is what the muslim brotherhood believes in so

this week marks one hundred days for the first democratically elected president mohamed morsi of egypt from the outset there were many doubts about whether he'd be able to embody the spirit of the arab spring and take charge of a country tainted with a collapsing economy and weak infrastructure since then morsi has dismantled the overarching rule of the military and ousted former move mubarak loyalists from his administration but what challenges does he have ahead and how we usher in a new era of equality for women and religious minorities and here to talk about all that and more i'm joined by so hard professor of law at texas. university thank you so much for coming on thank you for the time have you so you recently spoke on a panel at georgetown university called rule of law of rhetoric versus reality and egypt's transition to democracy so far when you talk about this we've observed it is a distraction for a hundred days now what is the rhetoric and what is the reality well the rhetoric is that he is going to change the country he's going to turn it around and he is going to use valu

talk were square for different reasons today let's start with those unhappy with the results of mohamed morsi first one hundred days in office what exactly has made them so disillusioned. well first of all thanks for having me. i think you are when it comes to the egyptian context and when you go to the country and you discuss with the people and the way things evolve throughout the last three months see i think there has been a growing frustration when it comes to evaluating the policies of the government and the actual president which means that i mean you just have to look at the different demands of the people that are in and that are on the square today to just understand that what they were expecting was much more respect for human rights much more accountability for the people that have been responsible for death when it comes when it came to the to their revolution as they call it in the beginning of two thousand and eleven they also asked for better prospects when it comes to economic perspectives when it comes to two to having a power of power of piracy and so on and this is why we

alarm at what they say is growing islamization that all of the country during the early stages of mohamed morsi is raul we've been. looking at live pictures coming out of karma right now are there many signs of that actually happening. i think there is obviously a growing political islam happening in this country as you can probably tell by the fact that there was a majority of parliament groups who have an islamist president on the ground we're also seeing that happening quite a bit for example recently there were two coptic children who were detained for several days because it was supposedly desecrated wrong to some kind of attacks on the christian groups and in addition as we know the fights over the constitution where the ultra conservative some of his groups want. to be based in sharia law women's rights movements to be staging massive demonstrations including second the presidential comments because he's six of the proposed constitution which is basically saying that women will become under the ruling all islamic law and basically have to reconcile with their contribution to the country

the ensuing election of the muslim brotherhood's mohammed morsi raised new questions about the country's direction and its relationship with the u.s. and in syria an ongoing civil war threatens to spill into turkey, jordan and lebanon while islamic extremists threaten to overshadow the secular syrian groups backed by the west. we pick up on some of these questions with two men who have helped us analyze foreign policy challenges in the past. zbigniew brzezinski was national security advisor to president jimmy carter and now is at the center for strategic and international studies. walter russell mead is professor of foreign affairs and the humanities at bard college. i want to start with the latest on libya with hillary clinton taking the blame for security at the benghazi consulate. where does that leave the matter of the responsibility of the white house, pote for the specific incident and the larger libya policy? >> well, i think secretary clinton was absolutely right that specific security requests don't go up from the state department to the president. so it would be a mistake to sa

and for hisham, mohamed morsi what happened in demonstration in egypt, he was in a visit, trip visit to european union in brussels, and he really said that i'm against that -- [inaudible] on the prophet muhammad, but we also don't expect attack private property, diplomatic buildings, and this is i'm against -- >> okay. >> just i want the u.n. start to enact a law to stop the abuse of the free speech against other religions. >> okay. so a question about the possibility of blasphemy law or norm established at the u.n. which gets to the point you made, bill, about the fact that this is a deeply-seeded value in a lot of cultures. and then we go here and then to julie. >> first of all, thank you very much for your insightful presentation. >> your name, please? >> my dame is dorgan. my question goes to mr.melhem. i think it was said that the muslim brotherhood is pro-business and socially conservative, if i recall correctly. where does that exactly place the next administration here in the u.s. and american perceptions as to how they actually perceive of the muslim brotherhood or morsi's f

saudi arabia and qatar have been quite proactive in extending aid to egypt both before and after mohamed morsi was elected. and i think it's important to understand what sort of aid. some of the things egypt needed right away was an ability to sell government lawns and treasury bills because it's currently paying 14% interest which is pretty high for a government and in the immediate depth of the summer when things looked terrible the qataris came in and said okay we will buy your one month issue of t-bills. obviously you get pretty good security on repayment and less government defaults on everything but that is how relieved some of the interest pressure and moved egypt out of the debt trap it was then, the worst debt trap since greece, italy or spain. the second thing the saudis and the qataris have done, they have like the world bank and the islamic development bank, there is quite development banks that helped identify investment projects to make sure they are built without corruption and that they become this. i think it's $4.5 billion that qatar and saudia arabia extended to egypt and th

both saudi arabia and qatar have been quite proactive in extending aid to egypt before and after mohamed morsi was elected. and i think it's important to understand what sort of aid. some of the things egypt needed right away was an ability to sell government bonds and treasury bills, because it's currently paying about 14% interest which is pretty high for a government. and in the immediate depths of this summer when things looked terrible, both the saudis and qataris came in and said, okay, we'll buy your one-month issue of t-bills. obviously, they got pretty good security of repayment unless the government defaults on everything. but that has helped relieve some of the interest pressure and tried to move egypt out of the death trap it's in. in a worse debt trap than greece or italy or spain. um, the second thing that the saudis and the qataris have done, they have -- like the world bank, there's an islamic development bank -- there is quite good development banks that help identify investment projects, make sure they're built without corruption and that they become effective. i think it's $

on the level of politics, the election of mohamed morsi was truly a landmark event in egypt's political history. he was the first civilian elected to the office of the presidency in egypt. he is also the first islamist to be elected as head of state in any arab country in free and fair elections, and the islamist movement in question, of course, is the muslim brotherhood, by far the largest and most well established islamist movement in the world of sunni political islam. so truly momentous change on the level of politics. however, i would argue on the level of policy we have much more durability, much more consistency. and the reasons for that are numerous, and i don't want to get too much into that. we can, of course, discuss this in the q&a session. but just to point out that this is rooted in a number of factors. first of all, the resiliency of egypt's institutions. the military, the national security bureaucracy, the judiciary, the media. they have all remained, to a certain level, very cohesive throughout what has been a very turbulent transition. all of these, of course, have aff

morsi has rejected free speech. it will be another islamic despot. >>neil: romney's initial response was a cairo situation before news of libya, where they were reacting presumably to the stupid film on mohammedhe was calling into question our embassy's initial apology which was retracted because they claim an apology was never made but we are going back to cairo so say maybe more money is the answer. that is weird. >>guest: it is very weird. there is no question that more money is not going to do anything but pay for the guys to riot at our embassy again. this is no reason to be sending that money over there right now when the government is clearly not interested in democracy and freedom as what we connect the two. when we go back to libya and the situation this, it is very clear, it has been clear from the beginning, that was a well planned terrorist attack, i talked to self experts who tell me just the gory technical details and there is no question the terrorists planned that for days and days before the attack actually occurred. so, the administration it will is trying to sort things out. would knows what they will come up with. >>neil: i am curious, we had, could just a moment here the
