for former muslims. without further ado, please welcome this afternoon's guest speaker, nonie darwish. [applause] >> it's a pleasure to be here. i'm always just enjoying meeting the ladies of clare boothe luce policy institute. thank you for inviting me again. we all watched the uprisings in the middle east with empathy and hope for the young people who, you know, put their lives in the front line in the hope of having freedom and democracy. but a year later our hopes drowned by the powerful forces that will never allow a new dawn to exist of freedom in the middle east. we should not be surprised though. since the middle east has been plagued with periodic cycles of revolutions and dictatorships, and political unrest for centuries. why should this one work and the others don't? during the uprising i was looking for a poster, any poster. i was reading all the arabic and english signs of the young people in the hope of seeing something new, a new idea. i was looking for separation of mosque and state. i wa

i'm not here to offend muslims were peace-loving muslims. i'm here to speak of an ideology and the legal system that is the official lot today and over 54 countries throughout the world even after the revolution. i think we can all agree that in america no ideology, secular or religious should be beyond questioning. american scheiffer of freedom of speech is the day freedom end to everybody. more people don't care to provide any religion and i'm talking about that because people talk about being islamophobia. >> of course not to read some of the nicest people in the world are muslims. my whole family's muslim and they are some of the nicest people that you'll ever meet, so this accusation that i am islamophobia is just a way to silence me speaking against an ideology that is a pacific and that is to respect human rights. i was born during the 1952 revolution in egypt, around that time in which my father had a prominent role in the new revolution and had the intelligence in gaza and had not entrusted him with starting a movement to destroy is

muslim brotherhood underground and. led to the party going down and accepted an officially in the political landscape but nonetheless this is as a direct this was as a direct result between the corporation between the readership of mubarak and the u.s. administration. i would urge you to remember. oh no no no no no no reason first or an irony in the let me go to our in first as he asked first go ahead oren. well it's just simply untrue that it was that the brotherhood was pushed underground due to the u.s. war on terror the underdog the brotherhood has been underground for decades going back to the era of the nazi so i mean i'm not quite sure where in the bill is getting is going these facts little you want to respond to that is specially so especially so yes absolutely i'm saying a sports especially so in. america's war on terror which is largely contributed not just needs him but across the muslim world to stigmatise islamic parties not just in egypt but in the news here in morocco and indeed across the region and con

i am not here to offend muslims, the good and peaceloving muslims.i am here to speak about an ideology and a legal system today in over 54 countries across the world. the law in egypt today is an act of revolution. i think we can all agree that in america no ideology, secular or religious, should be beyond questioning. the day and america strays from freedom of speech, that is the end to everybody. most people don't care to put aside any religion. some people promote hatred of muslims. of course not. some of the nicest people i know are muslim. my whole family in egypt is muslim, and they are some of the nicest people that you will ever meet. this accusation that i am anti-muslim is a way to silence me, in speaking against an ideology that is oppressive of rights. i was born in -- during the 1952 revolution in egypt. around that time, in which my father had a prominent role in the new revolutionary government he headed egyptian military intelligence in dos or -- in gaza. the revolution promised freedom. it promised to moxie. it promised a new constit

some muslims believe they are fully muslim, they don't pray five times a day. they might not agree with each other out what the definition of a muslim is spent just like christianity? >> absolutely. no difference. >> what is a moderate muslim? >> that's something that george bush was looking for. because of george bush divided them into good muslims and bad muslims. >> was that there? >> i don't know what's fair. basically a good muslim, according to the bush administration, was somebody who followed our policies, somebody who did our bidding, and who did not confess what he did it and what happened is there's a backlash on muslim community, and i think that a lot of them are very apprehensive about the presence of muslims among us. what we call the islamophobia, that is sort of reining in the moment in american society but and i think people are afraid if they seek muslims praying, they think it is bad because it is too serious. he takes his faith too serious a, so potentially he is a terrorist. and i think that american society can because of what we have, wh

what message am i communicating to the muslims. i am still a muslim. i am not saying i change, jesus christ changed my life, i am a new person. what a muslim praying next to me will understand, he will think i am a muslim. >> rashid said many have embraced the christian faith because they are seeking justice and truth, virtues they are not finding in islam, politics and revolution. mohammed says once they accept christ, they need help growing in the faith. >> you need to take care for mmb. jesus say go and disciple the people. >> a challenge for the global church as this new christian movement advances throughout the islamic world. gary lane, cbn news. >> discipleship is a problem faced by every country, gary lane spoke with todd nettleton voice of the martyrs about how to help these believers grow strong in their faith. >> let's start with this issue of heresy. >> it is anywhere, people are coming to know christ with very little tools for discipleship. the eastern lightning cult in china, yes, jesus is coming back, he has returned. he is a chinese wom

i am not here to offend muslims, the good and peaceloving muslims.i am here to speak about an ideology and a legal system today in over 54 countries across the world. the law in egypt today is an act of revolution. i think we can all agree that in america no ideology, secular or religious, should be beyond questioning. the day and america strays from freedom of speech, that is the end to everybody. most people don't care to put aside any religion. some people promote hatred of muslims. of course not. some of the nicest people i know are muslim. my whole family in egypt is muslim, and they are some of the nicest people that you will ever meet. this accusation that i am anti-muslim is a way to silence me, in speaking against an ideology that is oppressive of rights. i was born in -- during the 1952 revolution in egypt. around that time, in which my father had a prominent role in the new revolutionary government he headed egyptian military intelligence in dos or -- in gaza. the revolution promised freedom. it promised to moxie. it promised a new constit

a lot of muslims have celebrated the book. but there are a lot more upset about it, in particular because the book is not trying to massage the optics of islam in the american landscape. i was not interested in doing that. i don't feel that, as an artist, my job is to offer pr or propaganda, either for the good or for the bad. i have to try as hard as possible to tell my truth. and in doing so, i don't think i realized that some new people would be upset about me doing that. but there is also lots of people who have deeply embraced the book. i feel very gratified by that. tavis: how du process on your own receiving not. >> everything from frustration and anger and patience and attempt at compassion. [laughter] tavis: are other elements of their critique that have resonated with you? >> no. tavis:wow. [laughter] >> this is an important point. is a process the eternal word of god. and the christian and today you christian world has had that. it is an untenable position. within the islamic tradition, the rigidity of approaching t

but what of a muslim? what of a muslim in cairo? is there ethical struggles? is there ethical dilemmas that a young muslim has to go through in trying to realize- in this case his- his own proper patterns of action? what's the good life for him? now, to some extent, this happens in all cultures, because he's a young person trying to make sense of life. but what akmad- who we interviewed- what he brings out is that even within islam- i mean, you may be well familiar with this- but even within islam in egypt, there is major conflicts. and to put a little bit of a background on it, when we were in egypt, there were very, very few tourists there because not shortly before, the tourists in luxor had been mowed down by machine guns. and what's fueling this, of course, is the quest by fundamentalist, traditionalist muslims to overthrew what they perceive as the secular regime of mombaric. and more and more, akmad, this young person, is feeling that pressure- the pressure of the old, the old traditional, those very rigid ethical patterns of action that come out and ar

now this is the ninth month of the muslim calendar, and the muslim calendar, we must know, is a lunar calendar, so this month obviously rotates in different seasons. and this is the fasting throughout the whole of this month from dawn to dusk, which means from dawn time, the person must not eat- from the time of dawn, he must fast from eating and drinking or any kind of bread and the wrong things: back biting, telling a lie, stealing, and all those kinds of things. so this is the whole month of islam must fast. the fourth pillar is called the zakat, which means sharing one's wealth with the poor, with the needy, and this is the best kind of sharing, and it is on one's annual savings- it is not on the income, it is not a tax, rather, it is a really just obligation for sharing the wealth with those who do not have it from those who have it and who have savings. so it has a different rate according to different kinds of wealth- for example, the gold, the silver- so there are different ways upon each thing. but finally, when we put it in currency terms, it is two and a half percent on you

depicting the conflict between muslims and non-muslims is depletely wrong. if some of you don't know an attack by a muslim against a muslim is considered to be an individual attack. an attack by a muslim or jew is an attack on the prophet and it's not considered an individual problem. we believe this issue will be asked one day. and we say in government we will have very clear answers. we are advocates for peace and for rights for the palestinian people. the rights have been usurped and they were being denied of all peoples in the world to establish a state that reflects its own palestinian identity. and this will be a decision to be taken by the jordanian people through its own election of its own representatives. and a government that will engage in foreign policy. this is the general framework of our policy. with respect to the private framework before we talk about anything, we talk about ending the aggression, israeli aggression against the palestinian people. and also the return of all the rights of the palestinian people and also the return of the dis

that is not by the way simply in muslim countries. it is anyplace where muslims can and do exercise control. so some neighborhoods in european cities where muslims exercise control, notably in france, and even in sweden, shariah is practiced and enforced in contravention and suppression of local laws. some of those areas have become known as no-go zones. the proposed mosque near ground zero in new york was to be named core bone a to us. the implementation of maria and the plac-- sharishariah. >> shariah itself con takens the obligation to wage jihad among nonbelievers. it is the obligatory struggle to impose shariah world wide. that doctrine regards truces and treaties as simply temporary pauses in the struggle until muslims can resume the struggle. it permits and indeed surges diassembly for the sake of islam. there is even a word for it. the tom squire bomber was challenged at his sentencing by the judge when he professed hatred for for the united states. she asked didn't you take an oath when you became a citizen of this country? h

we are muslims. we would like to present a muslim alternative that can succeed or can fail. we have to be prepared that this is a human experience. in human experience is the can succeed but there is a 50/50 chance. hopefully, we will really determined to present an alternative that is good not only for egypt or arabs or muslims fought for the rest of the world. >> thank you. excuse me. thank you all very much for coming. i want to thank the delegation. [applause] [captioning performed by national captioning institute] [captions copyright national cable satellite corp. 2012] i appreciate that this is at the lunch hour. i ask for a gourmet lunch. we hope to see you in the future. >> more about the role of islam later this morning on c-span to. :45 the carnegie endowment looks at the role of the islamic parties in the arab world. >> this year's student can competition as students around the country, what part of the constitution was important to them and why? today's third-place winner selected the fourth amendment. >> today our fellow citizens, way of life, our very freedom c

and moderate muslims deny this fact. >> rose: rupert murdoch, the gardens of democracy, and irshad manji, when we continue. funding for charlie rose was provided by the following. captioning sponsored by rose communications from our studios in new york city, this is charlie rose. >> rose: we begin tonight with a phone hacking scandal rupert murdoch today testified before the senate inquiry for the second day running, he apologized but insisted he and other executives were misled about the extent of the phone has beening at the now defunct news of the world tabloid. >> i have explained that i am guilty of not paying enough attention to the news world. at any time that i was in charge of it, certainly to say me around the world, no. >> rose: he also faced questions about his political influence. >> has the sun got a large audience? yes. certainly. does -- do they -- do people follow everything we say? certainly not. we hope that by raising issues and so on we can have influence in things we believe in, but it is not a poli

my comments will focus on religious profiling of american muslims. americans know what it looks to be -- muslim americans work hard and play by the rules and infinitesimally small number don't, many even live the american dream and send their kids to college and earn a living just like everyone else, yet many know all too well what it means to be pulled off of an airplane, pulled out of line, denied service, called names, or even physically attacked. like other americans, muslim americans want law enforcement to uphold public safety and not be viewed as a threat but as an ally. when fbi, for example, shows up at homes and offices of american muslims, who haven't done anything wrong, it makes them feel targeted and under suspicion and it diminishes the important connection between law enforcement and citizen that is necessary to protect all of us. when muslim americans get pulled out of line in an airport and questioned for hours, ask questions and these are accurate -- questions actually asked, where do you go to the mosque? why did you give them $20

he testified last year on the civil rights of american muslims.leased that you can join us today. >> senator durbin, first, let me thank you for your leadership on the subcommittee. the fact that we have the subcommittee is a testament to your leadership in making clear that human rights are a priority of the united states senate. so i thank you for your leadership. and thank you very much for calling this hearing. it's a pleasure to be here with all of my colleagues but i particularly wanted to acknowledge senator conyers and his extraordinary life leadership on behalf of civil rights and these issues. congressman conyers was a real mentor to me when i was in the house, and still is, and we thank you very much for your leadership on this issue. senator durbin you pointed out the nation was shocked. if i could ask unanimous consent of my letter into the record along with the list of the organizations supporting the legislation that i filed s-1670. as you pointed out, senator durbin, that the nation was shocked by the tragedy that took place in san

i was a muslim. it's very discouraged in egypt to interpret or ask questions, or even read the sharia. very discouraged. he doesn't anybody dares to start asking questions and a trip of them, the first thing they tell them is, who gave you the authority? how dare you comment on the sharia. you are not achieve. i was thrown back. when i wrote my book about sharia, i really was totally ignorant about sharia. i have to study for a year and a half, and i had somebody to explain to me, a sharia expert, because i didn't want to rely completely on myself. i read everything. my job dropped at each page. i can't believe it. and why they have this. oh, my god, that's why we have not. oh, gosh your all the ills of muslim society go back to sharia. and, unfortunately, sharia is already the indication of the great men of a lot in the eighth century of time in the country who wrote the sharia law. >> thank you so much. >> you're welcome. >> good afternoon. my name is david bell. i'm from the leadership institute.

are there no muslims who are willing to live in peace with their neighbors? of course there are, and many of them resides in the united states as loyal americans. and millions more reside around the world. there are many places where they are in power, notably -- but a brave view are actually struggling to create within the religion a thheads an organizatn called the american islamic forum for democracy and is about to publish a book that is called the -- and i hope you will all buy when it's published. at princeton's name madison's program, who recently delivered a lecture, arguing that there are ways in which -- so as to oppose the classical sharia, the election is published in the november 2000 issue. the regrettable part of this story is that i'm sure as many people in this room know, first thing as a catholic, not a muslim publication, but make no mistake, as numerous as they may be, among those who pronounce doctrine, the moderates are the distinct and weaker majority. the majority is -- lightly prominent on the world stage. he said that the term nod ra

especially for non-imlawsist muslims as well as minoritieses such as christians and jews? >> why do they get the easy questions? >> yeah. >> it seems to me a very difficult question. these are countries in which for the most part there was a fair amount of religious freedom, for the most part. the restrictions on religious freedom tend to have two kind, one, minorities. for example, in many, many of these countries there are laws against changing your religion from islam to another religion. and then there were the restrictions that the state put on the muslim brotherhood at other expressions of let's call it islamist belief. now the systems are open and you can have something closer to popular sovereignty. it raises a question of religious freedom again. and it's interesting. i wrote a column in monday's "washington post" that criticized tunisia. not because it's the worst example at all of difficulties, but because it's so important because it was the first and is the model, a place everybody says tunisia has a really good chance of making it. the movie "persepolis" was

well i mean i think the first thing we need to examine the numbers the number of muslims in norway is actually is actually rather small the notion of a very small percentage of the population is going to overwhelm our i'm not sure larger percentage seems to me frankly ludicrous there are conference in europe where if you will you have millions of of muslims many of which are fully integrated and many of which are spies western values but there are minorities. among some muslim communities that have the same delusions a norwegian killer has that they're actually under some threat from being if you want from the indigenous white population but there have been radical islamist attacks in europe most recently of course includes france but where is the first large scale far right attack from what you think in your work how many people in europe sare those kind of cues that we've seen from breivik. i mean perfect who unfortunately was politically successful is not the only person who actually. has an engaged in these kind of attacks we we had the case the decade ago in the united kingdom wh

and the muslim quarter envelops where the haram is.nd you had... the wall is here, the haram is up here, and the temple would be behind where the wall was. one israeli negotiator actually put it quite well, that for israel there was a dead reality that was extremely important for them to be able to protect, which was underground. it's a dead reality in the sense that nobody lives with it every day except emotionally, psychologically, spiritually. the live reality is what people do every day on the surface where the haram is. so we were coming up with an approach that was designed to protect the dead reality for israel while also governing the live reality for the palestinians. the israelis in the end again reluctantly accepted, and yasser arafat could not accept. narrator: after arafat's denial, the talks broke down. to israelis, barak failed to deliver peace after offering unprecedented concessions. his opponent, ariel sharon, unleashed arab rage when he brought armed guards to tour the haram al-sharif. ross:it was obviog narrator: tb

that is why i'm a muslim. and that is why i'm speaking to you today. i asked the house and senate to pass the end racial profiling act and institute a federal ban on profiling based on race, ethnicity, national origin on religion on the federal, state and local levels. i asked senator durbin's subcommittee to urge the department of justice to revise the the 2003 guidance regarding the use of race by federal law enforcement agencies to apply to profiling based on religion and based on national origin. to remove national border security loopholes, cover law enforcement surveillance activities, apply to local state and law enforcement agencies acting in partnership with federal agencies or receiving federal funds and make the guidance enforcement. i want to thank the naacp, the aclu and working groups for putting together this conference. thank you for all of you to coming and listening to us. >> hi good afternoon. i'm anthony romero. national director of the american civil liberties union. i shall be brief since i testified earlier today. clearly the nee

air the americans, american muslims, south -- arab- americans, american muslims, south asian americans faced racial profiling. one example required them to properly register with the ims or face deportation. terrorist experts have since concluded that special registration wasted homeland security resources and, in fact, alienated patriotic american muslims and arab- americans. 80,000 people registered. 13,000 were place in deportation proceedings. even today, many innocent face deportation. how many terrorists were identified? none. next wednesday, the supreme court will hear a challenge to arizona's controversial immigration law. it is one example of extending state and federal measures that under the guise of combating illegal immigration have subjected hispanic americans to an increase in racial profiling. the law requires police officers to check the immigration status of any individual if they have reasonable suspicious that the person is undocumented. what is the basis? arizonas guidance cause police officers to consider factors such as house some of his trust, and their ability
