ok since you've got to go back to you in washington what is the future of the muslim brotherhood now. you need chips so they're going to be allowed to run in the elections well i think there is a. huge demand now and really the most important thing and i don't know if the military will do this i don't know if they're up to it there needs to be a national reconciliation between the different parties and yes the muslim brotherhood should be and deserves to be included in the political process but by the way the last opinion poll that i'm aware of by the zajac be group play support for president morsi of twenty eight percent so it's not that there's huge massive support but they are a factor in egyptian society and they should be included the question is what will their leadership decide will they decide to remain outside and attempt to reinstate morsi by force which you know facing the egyptian army is a losing proposition and will only divide the country i hope that they will really enter the political process as they deserve to as do other groups as do for example coptic christians an

four young men, all muslims, all british-born.or violent jihadism to emerge from among britain's muslims was not unexpected by close observers of that population. the 3 million-strong muslim community began immigrating in substantial numbers during the 1960s onward, mainly from south asia, but younger generations have been born in the uk, and many have become deeply disaffected amid the country's economic troubles. >> so youth unemployment is a significant issue. at the same time there's significant numbers of people going into higher education and into university, so what you then have are very highly skilled, highly trained young difficult to secure employment in the graduate jobs market, which again creates huge degree of frustration. >> mainstream muslim leaders say they fear the impact of violent extremists upon such alienated young muslims. the spokesman for one of the country's biggest mosques is salman farsi. >> there are certain groups that are extremely divisive and they can influence young people from our community and

but i will still keep saying that the muslims are all brothers who will follow. the cairo suburb of sources similar to many of the capitals districts they will have a poor area of high rise buildings where cops and muslims live together. this neighborhood was quite peaceful until april fifth two thousand and thirteen when two coptic teenagers painted a swastika on the wall of an islamic school. the muslims were offended not by the nazi symbol but that it was him blazoned with a christian cross an angry mob started to gather near the church. at the time someone from the mosque behind the church came and told us there was some sort of fight he suggested that we all stay together all the christians gathered around the church to defend. in about fifteen twenty minutes i saw some cars people got out and started shooting all over the place there are so full of holes outside on the church. people we saw were people falling down beaten by other people there were a lot of injured somebody also threw a tear cuss grenades. during the conflict almost all of the christian men

members of the muslim brotherhood have been arrested overnight. it was the handling of the economy, one of the driving forces behind the protests that ultimately led to morsi's down fall and the demise here certainly short time of the influence of the muslim brotherhood. the current political turmoil could create even more economic uncertainty. i want to bring back john out after abu dhabi. we have seen the rush hour. things appear to be working this morning after hours after what was a military intervention. this morning the installation of a transitional president. it is important, isn't it, what happens next as this economy is concerned? your thoughts? >> yeah, indeed. i think your point is well taken here. nobody seems to be in big shock. we have to wait and see how this plays out in tahrir square, for example. the business community was looking for a smooth transition. look where we were 12 hours ago. this could be a prolonged transition and would have been messy here negotiating with the muslim brotherhood. the business leaders i spoke to ov

he criticizes the muslim brotherhood saying they let the economy deteriorate. >> they are not muslims or brothers, but now they are being called out. even simple people know the truth. they used to hand out sugar and oil to the poor to court votes, but once in power, everyone could see their exploited people. >> the village stree is dotted with shops but t only ones still open are those selling staples. the people here cannot afford more than that. the muslim brotherhood recruited many voters in places like this but now they have lost that support. she makes fruit foxes out of palm leaves. they don't have many good things to say about the brotherhood. >> every muslim knows what they're doing is not islam. it does not not mean insulting and attacking others. it is a belief inside of us. it is also not islam is to attack the army, not at a time when tngs really need to get better in e country. click s i sferi frothe stagnant economy. no one can afford the furniture anymore so they make the fruit rocks is instead and he struggles to sell those. many people here use to make a living from

the muslims were ascended not by the nazi symbol but that it was him blazoned with a christian cross an angry mob started to gather near the church. at the time someone from the mosque behind the church came and told us there was some sort of fight he suggested that we all stay together all the christians gathered around the church to defend our watch. about fifteen twenty minutes i saw some cars people got out and started shooting all over the place there are still bullet holes outside on the church. people we saw were people falling down beaten by other people there were a lot of injured somebody also threw take us grenades. during the conflict almost all of the christian men the full source went to protect the church they barricaded the surrounding streets and boarded up all the churches windows and doors. if there'd been no response to the shooting they would have broken into the church six people were killed they were shot in the heads or the heart because it means they were professionals let's be honest there are plenty of weapons in this country . they had silenced firearms wh

the muslim brotherhood was democratically elected. united states chose to work with it, much to the chagrin or much to the anger of the egyptian military, which has a much longer and much deeper relationship with the united states' military and with the u.s. government. we didn't hear much coming from washington in the early days of this uprising because anything washington would have said would have been used against it. if it came out in support of the protesters, then they would have labeled as american spies. if it came out in support of morsi, then these people in the crowd would have said that the united states is propping up the muslim brotherhood. but last night's speech which antagonized many egyptians and apparently antagonized many in washington as well was very aggressive. president morsi, ex-president morsi, was banging his fist on the podium. he was waving his finger at the camera talking about violence, not talking about inclusion. talking about how he was the legitimate leader of this country and that no one should dar

the muslim brotherhood is outraged over this coup.arlier with a senior adviser to the group. >> i don't know how the rest of the world is watching this and letting it slip by. the voice of the people has been derailed by its own military -- that took up a political position to side with a certain faction and remove a democratically elected president in egypt. i can't believe in one year we managed to resurge back the military inside egypt. >> how do you think the muslim brotherhood supporters are going to react to what has happened? there have been calls for calm and there are those who have been speaking of taking somewhat darker action. >> no violent action at all. we're sticking to peaceful means and peaceful mechanisms. we're an organization committed to a peaceful nature and we are committed to non-violent roots of containing the mechanism of how this country is governing. we're not going to let this country die again into a administrative dictatorship. >> you have it there. speaking earlier saying that the brotherhood of the ors

muslims around the world begin their holy month of ramadan this week.prayer and fasting. it lasts about 30 days. observers abstain from food, drink, and other pleasures, from sunrise to sunset, with the goal of purifying the body and focusing the mind on spiritual pursuits. observing ramadan is one of the five pillars of islam. it is also a time when christians pray for the islamic world, asking god to reveal to them the truth about jesus christ. joining us now is tom doyle, the middle east director for e-3 partners ministry, and author of the book "dreams and visions, is jesus awakening the muslim world?" tom, it is great to have you back. there is war in syria, and major powers like the u.s. and russia and europe are trying to manage that outcome, and some would say it is naive, even a fantasy to think that prayer can make a difference in the world events, but what do you say? >> there is the physical war we're seeing on the ground, but the bigger war is the spiritual war raging overhead. that's what we see happening in egypt right now, syria. so alth

egyptian prosecutors issued an arrest warrant for the muslim brotherhood leader after monday's deadly clashes as rival political factions failed to agree on a transition plan leaving the country in deadlock. russia uncovers evidence that syrian rebels not government troops have used chemical weapons and despite those findings being played down by washington congress puts military aid to opposition fighters on hold. and without a word snowden widely expected to receive political asylum in venezuela so i dare ready for the fugitive whistleblower is growing across latin america speaks to the worst foreign minister about what's behind the support. this is our take on the line from the russian capital on marina joshie welcome to the program now the egyptian prosecutor's office has ordered the arrest of the muslim brotherhood's leader mohamed body along with nine other senior officials are accused of inciting violence at a rally on monday in support of the ousted president mohamed morsi well over fifty people were killed in the clashes that followed that rally artist policy or joins us live

muslim brotherhood has shifted towards more extreme islam the usa happens to be the greatest and this storm just on the close to the most dictatorial bustin of dictatorship which is you know which is a well how do you set out feet. bucked up by a one hundred feet reaches establishments. which issues fact was that give relief just let it get. renewed just backing down with a just incentive to suicide bomb was all over that we didn't that is in iraq and also in syria they have been but i don't know why then why didn't they reckon i spent let's think time advocating democracy they backed up that's what we did to invade batarang i guess that will of the battering the people would who have been counting want democracy human rights and political reform so they can't have it both ways they can say they are democrats and at the same time not most. likely i want to jeffrey toobin jeffrey in new york jump in are you in between the two go ahead yeah you know i think i think i saw a design or something here and i think it's that the i think political islam is encouraged growing what democracy the

what does the muslim brotherhood do now? >> well, we do what we do best, we stay on the streets and we stick to our principles. until the scene changes and if it doesn't, who knows? at the end of the day, we are committed. [ indiscernible ] people need to elect their leaders. they need to change the course of their country according to their will. [ indiscernible ] >> so as far as you see, you plan to continue to have demonstrations in the streets? you intend to have all your members out in the streets for as long as possible? >> for as long as feasible, yes. [ indiscernible ] it has to be through the democratically elected representatives of the people, not through self-appointed representatives. >> appreciate your time tonight. thank you very much. i want to go to ivan watson and ben wedeman, with christiane amanpour. ivan, what is the latest that you've been seeing? what's the latest there? >> anderson, this is the biggest party we've seen in tahrir square since 2011 when hosni mubarak was overthrown. helicopters circling

for the lido of the muslim brotherhood his deputy and two of the party leaders some nine top muslim brotherhood officials there are currently investigations into some six hundred and fifty muslim brotherhood supporters now most of them have been released four hundred fifty of them that there are some two hundred that are still being held in custody and all of that is being perceived by the muslim brotherhood in the pro morsi supporters as a crackdown on the brotherhood and it's evoking a lot of anger. although the newly appointed prime minister said that he wants to bring in muslim brotherhood party members into the cabinet how the muslim brotherhood reacts to this sort of offer and. you know the muslim brotherhood has rejected this outright they say that the whole process is to try and form some kind of interim cabinet an interim government is ego and we hear the same kind of rhetoric coming from the muslim brotherhood that we've heard from the beginning and that is that they have nothing to do with the interim president and any kind of negotiations to try and push forward some kind of politic

there are deep divisions in the muslim brotherhood. i wouldn't anticipate them speaking with one voice. you have forces that want to engage in civil disobedience and take a more modern track. and others that want to engage in violent protests. you have seen the mainstream leaders of the group say they are willing to spill their blood for their cause and i think that is going to be important to watch. president morsi views himself as the president of egypt. i think it will be important to keep an eye on them in the coming hours, especially as this protest starts to break up and to see if the military can continue to contain the violence as they are trying to do clearly. >> i would guess that as these crowds begin to disperse as they no doubt will, after those jumping and screaming have won the day and the government has been ousted. they will come in and get attention and act post haste. >> and they should. as your previous guest just mentioned, the islamist camp is not unified and many moderates would like to join the process and becom

but among them, you have christian, muslims who are not particularly thrilled with the muslim brotherhood, you also have secular egyptians who didn't like the muslim brotherhood. you also have the military which has had a large stake in the economy here in running the country. so just in the opposition, it's very fractured. and you have the muslim brotherhood. there is a pragmatic wing. some don't think they're islamist enough. they're good at holding protests, but not very good at unifying. muslim brotherhood is still the strongest group here and could easily win the next elections. >> connor, this is bob. i understand that when the military announced the road map for peace, that it was developed by a coptic christian. that's amazing to me given the fact the muslim brotherhood has been killing people and the coptic christians put the road map down, don't you find that rather shocking? >> reporter: the coptic christian community is a powerful community here in egypt. they're a large community. people don't think of them here, but they are a large powerful and sometimes wealthy community h

into the cabinet how the muslim brotherhood reacts to this sort of offer and. you know the muslim brotherhood has rejected this outright they say that the whole process is to try and form some kind of interim cabinet an interim government is illegal and we hear the same kind of rhetoric coming from the muslim brotherhood that we've heard from the beginning and that is that they'll have nothing to do with the months thirty interim president and any kind of negotiations to try and push forward some kind of political roadmap what we are hearing from and so is that he wants to within the next fifteen days amend the constitution he says there will be some kind of referendum to ratify it within the next four months they will be parliamentary elections at the beginning of next year and a presidential poll following that it's also important to note it's not only the muslim brotherhood that's rejected it it's the alice salafist a new a party which is the second largest islamic party here has also withdrawn from talks following monday's killings in which as i say more th

he remained part of the muslim brotherhood.therhood, and was unable to perform his duties as president of all egyptians. >> here is the question, did officials say to you he is not coming because he is not rejecting those comments about jews being descendents of pigs and apes? >> this is not the time of language you use in diplomacy. >> i know it is not, it is awful, but did they raise -- >> oh, yes, everybody said. >> what did they say? >> basically, they had serious concerns with that. >> and they said that basically morsi is not coming to washington, as a result of that? >> no, as i said before. there had been no date set for morsi to come to washington. there had been hopes. >> there was a lot of talk in the interview that i did, we spent more than an hour or two together. he kept talking about, he will be here by the end of march. it never happened. and that is what people said to me, it never happened in part because of those comments that he didn't back away from. all right, so what is going to happen next in your opinio

morsi's a member of the muslim brotherhood.

he didn't say it a week ago -- >> look, the muslim -- >> and international inclusion. >> the muslim brotherhood said they wouldn't run for public office -- >> that's true. there is a lot of distrust but the fact of the matter is there are supporters for the other side, as well. as a practical matter beyond the head of the emotion of the moment, as a pack ticket matter, it will be very, very important what happens next. it's going to be really important that the next bit of this process looks to be transparent, does not look like it's been run by the military, although the military is the umpire. >> i want to bring back some guests. we haven't heard you from you, what is your view of what is going on and what happens now? if the muslim brotherhood can be rounded up and officials rounded up, they still do have support in segments of the country, what -- that's not going to disappear. what happens not political process? >> that's the big question at the moment. what happens now? because people are out there celebrating. there's a very festive spirit, but a few people only are not just having the s

christians and muslims together. they know that they have won. they know the people's power has succeeded for a second time in sweeping a president from office . not after 30 years of ictatorship but one year after democratically-elected office. he hatred in this crowd. because of extreme policies and his failure to tackle the economic crisis, they know they have won here. huge roars go up every now and then. perhaps the news that mansour the head of the constitutional court will be put in as the new interim president. for now, this is a victorious crowd. they believe that the ideals of the revolution are back on track. >> now in other developments, several television stations including al jazeera's live egypt has been taken off air. they stormed the building and arrested the presenters, guests and producers. let's listen in to the audio that we got from that interrupted live broadcast. we are joined on the phone by the coordinator for the committee to protect journalists. joins us on the line from new york. what do you make of this closure of th

>> we hope of uniting, not to exploit muslim brothers but to include them. i hope that the new government can realize that. >> morsi supporters say he is a freely democratic leader. adly mansour was appointed by the military. is this just a power grab i the old guard? >> yes and no. you have the revolutionary people. i hope now with a new strategy, neil politics, that he will not do the same politics of the old system, but i can understand the point of view from the muslim brothers. >> can you explain exactly why there is so much widespread support for this man? >> it is not a lot of support, as you are seeing. when you do not have a president, then this judge can be a president. now you have a new way. >> thank you for the analysis. appreciate it. now we go to our correspondent in cairo. give us details about the latest report of clashes. >> i can tell you what i'm seeing right in front of my office. there are several thousand supporters of the muslim brotherhood 200 meters away. on the other side, about 100 meters away, the opponents of morsi coming from t

the muslim brotherhood is a terrorist organization. the issue right now and they want their money back. they have disbanded the constitution and the muslim brotherhood is being to push back. we have to remember that the muslim brotherhood is tied at the hip with iran. >> we have witnessed protesters denouncing the administration because it is backing morsi and the brotherhood. what role if any can the u.s. have to influence those in egypt particularly if they are unstable for some time. is this a time to consider holding back on military and financial aid as senator mccain is suggesting? >> this administration was in support of and the ambassador did make positive statements. they did make positive statements about the old regime a week ago and morsi. they were in support of it. they were hard to walk that back. we have to continue the 1.5 billion. we have to keep some level of influence. there is a great connection between the u.s. military and the egyptian military as corrupt as the military is. we have to keep our fingers in the pie

first of all the place where the muslim brotherhood was camping is a very. broad connects cairo from east to west this is a key place where most traffic goes through so it's becoming very in knowing for the military to. muslim brotherhood there so they were trying to disburse them early by dong well there is zero coverage by any news agency that is is what has been putting us all under alarm and concern because there is no other party portraying or manifesting or conveying the muslim brotherhood and islamic side now we need enough human rights activists people who will stand among groups i have a part of a group called no to violence that is putting people on the ground to witness what's happening now going back to the civil war issue we have to understand that the civil war issue is plausible but it starts with the media and the mainstream demonization of any side whether it be in the muslim brotherhood or. supporters it is very critical that each party does not demonize the other we can see a lot of use of the word predator isn't. about the people the chan

but people in this square are muslims, proud to be muslims, but they blame the muslim brotherhood for manipulating religion, using it like a panner on its chest, a superman "s" that gave them the power to do whatever they wanted. i think that backfired against them. the question now is will this set the tone for other of the new arab democracies if they say well, the islamists who took power weren't particularly successful, brought the country backwards, now is there going to be egypt setting the way for a different type of -- a new phase in the arab spring. >> when i think of egypt and we all do, we think of it as an ancient culture, an ancient country, real country, not something divided up or created or coneffected by the europeans, by churchhill or after world war i. there's a real country of egypt that preceded islam. what is egypt today? is it egypt or just part of islam? >> well, if you ask the people here right now, they are reclaiming egypt and it is not just the egypt of a specific group. the group that saw history began with islam 1400 years ago. there were slogans in this

this is a prominent cleric and muslim brotherhood supporter. the jets legitimate president is mohamed morsi. he alone has the right to appoint a prime minister or agree to others being appointed. with regard to the military and the person they're calling the interim president, they are all thieves. it is not right to appoint ministers or prime ministers and we reject these appointments altogether. >> meanwhile, the prosecution office has ordered the arrest of the leader of the motte -- muslim brotherhood movement. the arrest warrant is seen as part of a broader crackdown on members of the brotherhood. hundreds of members and other islamic groups have been detained, along with the former president's top advisers. >> egyptian armed forces shot dead more than 50 supporters of mohamed morsi during a protest where the deposed leader is believed to be held. meanwhile, saudi arabia and the united arab emirates have offered $8 billion in aid to the interim government to shore up the economy and counter qatar's support of the muslim brotherhood. sharif

the court was the muslim brotherhood's most obstructive enemy. last year, he scrapped a law which stop former members of the mubarak regime from standing elections. and putting an ally into the presidency might be the easy bit for the egyptian army. they have an even worse inheritance from the one that made president morsi's job so hard. egyptians are impatient for better lives. top priorities are keeping the peace and the economy. the generals and the new president need to come up with results quickly. a honeymoons here are short. >> many egyptians to support democracy will not call what has happened a military coup even though soldiers took power from elected president. they include egypt lost most internationally recognized leader. >> they know they have been called by the people to avert civil war. it is a painful measure. nobody wants it done. his owni undermined legitimacy by the client himself a few months ago as the pharaoh. this is not a democratic process. >> there is no point of having a election and if you want change, you go to the s

social manifestation of islam the muslims in java are not practicing the same way the muslims in the local practicing but the we live in the same god in the same prophet in this holy book their prayer their fasting the privilege is the same but this social and cultural manifestations are extremely important and i would like to give you one example the country of kyrgyzstan this is a small nation in central asia and they converted to islam around three hundred years ago they are in the magic people so three hundred years well we can check history that's what i feel is they told me but. what's more important is that diversion of islamists very liberal very guilty terror and with regards to rights afforded to man and women and they're now experiencing a sort of islamic revival there are thousands of mosques being built around the country but the problem is that most of those mosques are sponsored by saudi arabia and saudi arabia in addition to the money for the mosques sons preachers and sons literature and tries to promote its own there is a radical brand of islam that is totally forei
