the exclusiveness in elijah muhammad's original teachings. as abdus salam, in our interview will see, he also, over time, began to question the exclusivity in the original teachings of elijah muhammad that called for a separating of african-american peoples from caucasian peoples. of course, islam, our true- or let's say the traditional islamic doctrine is very inclusive- it calls for the equality of all people, justice for all peoples, and so we'll see later wd mohammed wrote- you know, he can certainly speak for himself- but he takes that role, learned the arabic, and developed the american muslim mission that is much more inclusive- in other, caucasians can go to it- originally not so within the movement. and of course, louis farrakhan- certainly you've heard of louis farrakhan- he, like a, you know, a lightning rod, he attracts negative attention from the media because he's a controversial and powerful figure, and he holds to elijah muhammad's teaching of a separate nation of islam, and he keeps to the quest here, at least to put it in my

israeli officials in two thousand and twelve all of that were taken without a warrant just like muhammad all of them or roughed up i mean not all but the seventy nine percent and they were denied access to an attorney and this is something that the human rights groups are saying is absolutely unacceptable a boy or a girl should be treated the same way there is a spread of specific statute that the israeli officials and the israeli police and israeli soldiers should follow and this was not the case with mohammad as it was not the case with more than two hundred other palestinians and all of them you have to understand more than two hundred two hundred of these teenagers aren't. still in confinement mohammad was arrested in connection. with. incident and his his confinement has actually been extended for two weeks and his hearing is to his next hearing is slated to happen on sunday where the judge will have to again figure out whether or not the boy is guilty or whether his confinement will be extended. to the detention of children is not the only person you see regarding palestinians in i

terms of how that's going out i think it's a double standard us thinks and it's a jumble standard muhammad right. yes i mean even the talk that iran is produced attempting to produce nuclear weapons is completely baseless and the fact that the iranian nuclear program has always been peaceful scene doesn't seem to be enough for some people in the west because they went in when it comes to western countries you're innocent until proven guilty when it comes to countries like iran you're guilty unless proven innocent and being proven innocent is literally impossible the iranians see the nuclear program as an issue of sovereignty it is both economically important because huge investments were made before the revolution and the iranians need to need to make money out of those investments and since the united states and western countries have been trying to force iran to stop its nuclear program the iranians have been adamant that they will continue because it's an as i said it's an issue of sovereignty when saddam hussein invaded iran and western countries again sorry but pathologically producer

at fordo so i think we need to focus on how we can verifiably demonstrate to the world everything muhammad has said and i think the burden or the ball is in iran's court in this regard because there's been every intention and effort for more than a decade now to try and bring them to some term of agreement on mohamed jump in. well all of iran's nuclear and so they sions are monitored twenty four hours a day seven days a week by the i.a.e.a. every single one of them including fordo and the only reason why fordo was built under a mountain was because the united states and the israeli regime were constantly threatening iran with a military attack which is itself against international law the irony is that it is iran that is constantly being attacked it is iran against whom weapons of mass destruction have been used with the help of western countries chemical weapons and iran has never produced them during the war iran never produced or used chemical weapons the iranians have throughout this whole episode they have had this support of the nonaligned movement which consists of the majority of t

he stood up, after our, you know, preacher compared martin luther king, you know, to the prophet muhammadd he stood up, he called our preacher a hypocrite, so then the people of the congregation shouted him out to leave. so i think the conversation in our congregation is that, you know he just didn't fit, in terms of kind of the idea allege, the mainstream moderate ideology that our mosque projects. >> there have been reports that his family wants him to be buried in the united states and is trying to find a way to bury him, to have a proper burial service for him, and i don't know whether the body has been released yet. do you know whats latest is on that? >> yeah, there were some reports out there that we had rejected his burial, or the family had reached out to us, rather, and to our knowledge, you know, the family has not reached out to us. >> and so you do not know anything about the details of a funeral service or burial? >> no. >> what about dzhokhar, the younger brother? had he attended services? >> you know, it was very rare for him to attend. one of our congress -- congregants r

to the prophet muhammad. >> it happened on the 18th of january.it was close to martin luther king's day. i believe it was also close to the occasion of the birthday of the prophet muhammad, according to the islamic calendar. so, you know, the theme of the sermon was about great men like dr. martin luther king, like the prophet and what drove them, their sense of mission. and what we can learn from their lives and how we can be inspired by those examples. so when the person that was giving the sermon started talking about dr. martin luther king, this man got up and objected. raised his voice, which is against the etiquette of the sermon. and people objected to it. some people might have even asked him to leave, you know, the mosque if he didn't like what he was hearing. you know, after he -- we're not sure if he left, but after the incident people sat down with him and explained to him, and he seemed to understand. and nothing happened after that. he did, you know, come to the mosque, you know, on friday. not every friday but he was here. he contin

and clint brought up the relationship and that's why he brought it up of muhammad and malvo. to take it to this extreme, this svengali over the younger one. but the difference between those two and these two is the suicide ideal. and that is a huge difference. because when they can incullcate that into someone, like they probably did know dzhokhar, he is then the radical, radical guy. i think it's interesting that the brother, who has so much influence, can do it to this younger 19-year-old. that would be a harder task because he would be doing it just with himself and maybe the internet. but there could have been some phone calls back and forth, interness connections as well that will turn up in the intelligence. it's a big -- it's big news today in law enforcement that -- the suicide bombers are here. and i also think that the pressure cooker, to get back, alex, to your great question here, are they around boston, is it the main thing. yes, but i think these guys were going to do more bombs. i don't think the marathon was the only two bombs. i don't think they made that pre

this does some similarities with the london bombings where muhammad sadiki khan had been identified by british intelligence beforehand. they had not gone back and rescrubbed data a year or two before the london attacks. when the attacks occurred, they went and looked and had him on the radar screen. they just hadn't continued to look at him as a potential suspect. i wonder whether that was the case here because clearly they -- they had looked at him at one point, they may just not have look theed at him again. >> colonel, a final word to you. that is your belief on how this has changed the game. >> has this changed the game now that something like this has happened? >> well, i think it's awakened us to the need to be ever vigilant. we've preached this since 9/11 obviously. but now it's gotten home. it's -- you know, outside of the washington/new york area, it's another major city, another major event. but it really shows this we have to be very vigilant with people that have basically grown up in this country, at least part of the time. but there is always that question, what is the gu

all these facts are jewish such as this one for example king david found as the city of jerusalem muhammad never came to jerusalem now it wasn't really the fast time dives and monuments attacked israeli cyberspace now the previous time it happened during last years gaza war now during the four days of classes hundreds of israeli websites that were suffered from forty million unique attacks. and there are around seven hundred israeli watch size repeated attacks including some high profile government websites like the websites of the foreign ministry. and the israeli defense ministry so as you can see that previous attack had some major impact so wait and see how this one develops while the come in the wake of a renewed wave of discontent crushing down on israel a deadly clashes broke out between activists and soldiers sponsored by the death of a high ranking palestinian prisoners in israeli detention that's all of it accusations he did nothing to save his life. a bit later in the program. this week saw a dramatic escalation on the korean peninsula with pyongyang threatening a preemptive nuc

all these facts are jewish such as this one for example king david found as the city of jerusalem muhammad never came to jerusalem you know it wasn't really the fast time guys and non-image attacked him. israeli cyberspace now the previous time it happened during last year's gaza war now during the four days it lasts one hundred. words from forty million unique attacks and around seven hundred israeli websites suffered repeated attacks including some high profile government websites like the websites of the foreign ministry the bank of jerusalem and the israeli defense ministry so as you can see that previous attack had some major impact so wait and see how this one. former m i five. so as the damage of these attacks is negligible certainly compared to what some governments have been doing in cyberspace it is very much matter of inconvenience to the websites that are under assault but of course it does get a lot of publicity the difference between this and real hacking real cyber attacks can be seen very starkly what happened when the u.s. and israeli governments committed an act of fiber
