2 world has 1.6 billion muslims. how many muslims are we talking about?who are ready to strap bombs on their bodies and blow us all up to smithereens. >> 300 million muslims ready to strap bombs to their bodies? can that really be true? donald trump offers even higher percentages. >> it's 27%. could be 35% who would go to war. the hatred is tremendous. >> fox news anchor chris wallace had just told the gop frontrunner the facts. >> according to the best experts, think tanks all around the world, they say at most, 100,000 people are fighting for jihadist causes. >> wallace is right. trump is wrong. scholars and experts we spoke to agree. the number of jihadis worldwide is somewhere between 1 and 200,000, not hundreds of millions. how did they come up with those results? simple math. they added up the estimated memberships of all islamic terror networks worldwide. that works out to around .01% of all muslims around the world. but despite the consensus, the myth persists. >> you say 253 muslims want to go to war against us? >> why don't you take a look at th

-- the islamic -- the muslim -- let me tell you my experience with american muslims. young man who grew up in afghanistan, went to high school in afghanistan, graduated from high school, came i think to chicago, can't remember his american hometown, joined the army, went back to afghanistan as an interpreter, took me over to his former high school where they were having election polling wearing the uniform. his job was to guard me and the general that went with me. there were about eight or ten of us. embraced the principle. he started crying and that's my view of american muslims out there in the fight, but if you duo have a radical mosque or a radical preacher or a radical whatever, is it okay to follow them and monitor what they duo? >> so i think -- i think there's a difference between somebody who has radical thoughts or is espousing radical thoughts and then actual violence. i think as you can certainly appreciate, senator graham, having a radical thoughts is not illegal. some would actually say it's downright american. >> i agree. but it's not downright america

muslim majority countries. what i'd like to do in our discussion is talk about muslims as minorities. in the context of the united states. and within the united states, especially within the contest of what we're seeing politically, how can you reflect, could you reflect on the place for muslims here in the united states, as a minority community. >> well first of all, we have to remember that muslims have been here from the start. there's substantial historical evidence that's proven that at certain periods, about one-fifth of the slaves that were brought here were muslims. we have handwritten korans from slaves. we have arabic letters from slaves. prince ibrahim is another example of that. so we also have the earliest example of a white convert to islam as george bethune english. who got his master's degree, which was the highest degree at the time, at harvard. harvard was teaching arabic alongside hebrew. if you get the first addition, in fact some. slergss you can buy it, of noah webster's 1828 dictionary. t

muslims are faced with that. i hope it is not a muslim.o be honest, if it was a , i hope it is not a hispanic name, because it is a tragedy. 49 people dying. it is one of the worst. bad coverage of police officers about a year and a half ago, in st. louis. if you asked a police officer how they feel when they stop somewhere, they look around to to if there is not a nut target them because of the coverage they had. you know what i mean? host: you mentioned you wrote a book. i think we found it here. book of signs foundation? is this your book? caller: yes. it was published about five years ago. for people tot read it. it is a little challenging because i am giving a muslim perspective. christians beliefs may hold may be challenged through this book, but it is worth reading so you know what muslims feel. your timek you for this morning. a bit more from ap pew research center survey conducted in 2014. it asked americans to rate religious groups on a feelings thermometer, where zero reflects negativecoldest, rating and 100 represented the warm

>> to the muslims in marc,ameri have this to say, how can you have the plan against muslims? >> no one has scared american officials more. >> the head of al qaeda in yemen. >> they planned attacks on the united states. >> he is the driving force behind virtually all of the worst terrorist attacks in america since -11. >> we are facing you as men, who love that just like you love life. >> he is an american, born in new mexico. educated at colorado state university. how influential is he? dzhokhar tsarnaev, the boston marathon bomber wrote about his teachings as he lay bleeding in a back yard boat waiting to be captured. >> reports of multiple victims. >> one of the san bernardino killers the husband, say ed farouk watching sermons for years. >> we know the deadliest shooting. >> then psychiatrist, nadal hasan, who murdered 13 americans at fort hood in texas. he e-mailed about his plans. the under wear bomber. tried to blow a plaep out of the sky over detroit under orders from al laki. finally, orlando killer, omar mateen. the fbi says he appears to be swayed after watching his

and those perceived to be muslim. these hate incidents are not near statistics. they affect real people and families. most importantly our children. late last year mother told the story of her daughter sophia. sophia began collecting all of her favorite things in a bag fearing that the military would come to take her family away because they are muslim as sad as this story is the response from u.s. army veterans who have heard the story was powerful and touching. veterans posted images on social media of themselves in uniform with this message to this child. i will protect you. since the tragic events in orlando, muslim advocates along with americans from all walks of life have stood with our friends in the lgbt q community. you see, we are not willing to give up on america. the idea that a group of people diverse in every imaginable way can form a lasting bond based on the shared principle of freedom, justice, and equality for all. some would dismiss this as political correctness. to me, it is a belief in the power o

but muslims for premodern record, nobody compares to the muslims. i say that objectively as a student of history about civilization. -- and think any society others would also make that point as well. >> in terms of the context of what we see today, both within muslim countries as well as the tensions that exist in united states and the amount of islamophobia that continues to exist in this country, in many ways it is getting worse. what are your thoughts about this context? are you hopeful for the future? islamophobia is a problem globally. i think it's a problem in muslim countries. there is a lot of fear the rulers have of awakening that come from islam. islam has a profound justice -based element in its tradition. concerned,'m overall, muslims are doing relatively well in this country. i think we have dropped the ball after 9/11. i meet arguments -- you are in the meeting we had 16 years ago. i made these arguments about having a national organization to start dealing with anti-muslim rhetoric that will emerge. nobody listened to me at that time

most of. -- has a muslim. -- as a muslim. jonathan: there are lots of horrible mass shootings done by people in the united states for a variety of reasons. are we talking about preventing mass killings and violence, or are we talking about just criticizing muslims? it seems we should focus on preventing these massive attacks, rather than just saying that muslims are the problem. you've had how many instances of muslims creating -- committing acts of terror in the united states since 9/11? according to the center for american progress report about a year and a half ago, there have been twice as many right-wing perpetrators as there have been acts ofwho perpetrated terror in united states or acts of violence since 9/11. why focus on muslims?it's a media frenzy . laura: it's not a media frenzy. this is the man who is possibly going to be the next president of the united states, and these are points that he is making. the question is -- jonathan: are you saying that donald trump's opinion is somehow valid because he is donald tru

what is a muslim neighborhood? .. >> >> let me just dash i called senator flake at his home on a saturday evening when he visited the mosque in arizona and thank him. >> i sent personal thank-you letters as well. >> it was such a thoughtful gesture totally consistent. >> i think jim for having the courage to do it. >> i just want to make it clear that there have been hundreds of islamic scholars in united states and around the world that have condemned tourism routinely in in fact, there are some scholars who have taken on the narrative of isis at great peril to themselves the number of them have received death threats because of the work they're doing. so i cringe when people say they're not speaking out against their faith. >> this is an important year and glad we're having it is there a fight for the heart and soul of most radicals and muslims? is that a fair statement? >> it is about the fact that terrorism is days and to amend the underbelly of it i cringe at the thought. >> there is definitely robust discussi

or a state being ruled by muslims, non-muslims go under a status. it's the grist of a lot of islamphobic websites out there. i saw a bumper sticker a few weeks ago that said [ speaking foreign language ] in arabic, i'm a disbeliever and proud. which is again a kind of in your face statement about how, people think muslims view the other. one in english we have other and brother, but in arabic you have other and brother. in arabic you have brother and other. in arabic, you say achar, which is other. and the word brother is ach, embedded in the word other. i think that's a very interesting thing. we have to see the brother in other, but we also have to recognize the other in brother. this is something a lot of people have a difficult time doing. he had a series of meetings to talk about the problem of the ninth chapter, the last chapter revealed in the koran. the idea that those who disbelieve in god and his messenger, that they have, pay a jizia. it says [ foreign language ] until they pay a tribute with their hands and their. [ foreign word [. there

it's really quite risky, quite scary for people, especially muslim activists and lawyers, to provide aid to people accused by the government of materially supporting terrorism, to provide legal networks, financing for them, a support network and infrastructure so the u.s. government's goal of disappearing them, having us forget they even exist. the two organizations who have sponsored this event tonight our organizations i have really come to know very well over the past year. they're doing brave and important work. without them, many of the people targeted by the u.s. government would have no defenses. one of the things i think about quite a bit and i debate with myself quite a bit about and go back and forth on is when i think about these issues of civil liberties, abuses, the like. whether or not there is really anything unique about the way in which primarily muslim americans and others in the united states have been targeted with this kind of persecution. as alluded to earlier tonight, the history of the united states is one that has a continuous stream of minority groups who ha

so you're a muslim.u think that it's time for the muslim community to speak out about oppression of women? oppression of gays and lesbians and say there ought to be religious tolerance? and saudi arabia should allow the building of a temple for christian church? >> there have been talking about saudi arabia for a long, long time. >> i ask you a question sir. i don't have time to mess around here. do people like you have a responsibility to say stop oppressing women, gays, lesbians, christians and jews? >> we're doing our responsibility in maximum way. i want you to join us this fight, fight radicalism and fighting islama phobia, and injustice. yes, of course. >> they persecute these people. we're talking against all of them all of the time. >> do you condemn it? >> of course i condemn saudi arabia. >> and united arab emirates, and algeria? >> i condemn those supporting terrorism in iraq, in afghanistan, in beirut, everywhere. of course i condemn that. sean, my question from you, are you on the same page?

the air is an argument that the muslims are the latest in this continuum, the cururrent exampme that hasas replaced communists d other groups as this favorite group from the u.s. govovernment to target and demonize to justify abuses of power. there is an argugument that one should look atat it that way.. i actually think there are some unique attributes about this persecution that distinguish it from those other prior examples. i think is very difficult to compare injustices quantitatively to see which arae better or woworse. it's not profitable to do that, there are unique attributes to the way in which the civivil liberties are being justified. the first of those unique attributeses is all of the civil liberties abuses are taking place within the context of multiple wars. the reason why that is so important is because the number one tactic of the government in vogue, true since e the historyf war was begun, is the enemy of the war has to be dehumanized, has to be completely demonize to the point of almost subhuman state of nonexistence. the reason for this is even the most sociopat

in fact, if anything, the war with isis is all about muslims versus muslims. this is what the ideology is built on. if you track -- talk about ideas and ideology, but practically speaking like the way ideology of isis has matured and become kind of framed was a reaction to the events that happened after the iraq war, not the iraq war itself. for example, how sunnis reacted to the presence of americans on the ground and start declaring these people as apostates. they started to appropriate events in islamic history to the context of what's going on here, so it's not at all about what's going on in the west. it's about what's going on on the ground in the muslim world. >> do you agree sort of portraying this war as a war against isis and islam plays into the hands of isis or not? >> i agree with what hassan was saying. i think, if anything, the victim of isil is islam itself. they have definitely declared war on our scholars, our sunni and shia sects. that's the biggest tragedy. i don't think -- and i think that our best allies in this are normative muslims that

fueling isil's notion that the west hates muslims. making young muslims in this country and around the world feel like no matter what they do, they're going to be under suspicion. and under attack. it makes muslim-americans feel like their government is betraying them. it betrays the very values america stands for. we've gone through moments in our history before when we acted out of fear and we came to regret it. we've seen our government mistreat our fellow citizens. and it has been a shameful part of our history. this is a country founded on basic freedoms. including freedom of religion. we don't have religious tests here. our founders, our constitution, our bill of rights, are clear about that. and if we ever abandon those val values, we would not only make it a lot easier to radicalize people here and around the world, but we would have betrayed the very things we are trying to protect. the pluralism and the openness, our rule of law, our civil liberties, the very things that make this country great. the very things that make us

we need a lot more moderate muslims, and law abiding muslims and good muslims like him, and they haveblic and they have to talk to the communities, and that is is going to eliminate a lot of the fear, and a lot of the deranged fear that is out there that every muslim is a terrorist. and i think that with people like him and others, that would help. >> juliette, i know that you want to make a point on this? >> well, i mean, i would agree with bernie. and people who know my background and his know that we are probably different politically and from different parties even, and the fact that people have been in the law enforcement and national security for a long time like both of us are consistent in this that integrating and reaching out to the communities, arab and u muslim, and part of the law enforcement partnerships is es ssential, and not alienatg them in anyway, because it is harmful to the homeland security, and that is across the spectrum, and this anti-islam, and the keep them out, and the trump rhetoric is just is such an outlier from anybody who has been in the our orbit, and
