it's not all muslims and arabs and not all arabs or muslims. yeah. not trying to be condescending when i say that. i suffered from that when was owing. i didn't know. i had a friend, she was a palestinian. she's like, i'm a christian. you're an arab christian, what, did you convert? she's like, no, my family is all christian. i'm like, your family's all christian, how did that happen? she's like, because jesus is from the middle east. oh, yeah. good point. that's right. he was, was he? yeah, yeah, yeah. my name is w. kamau bell. as a comedian i found a living making humor in parts of america i don't understand and now i'm challenging myself to dig deeper. i'm on a mission to reach out and experience all the cultures and beliefs that add color to this crazy country. this is "the united shades of america." whether america as a whole wants to talk about it or not, america has always had heros who are muslims. muhammad ali, kareem abdul-jabbar, and malcolm x are examples of the best of us. they've been held up as quintessential americans. how quintessent

to muslim teachings. they engaged in these acts during the evening when observant muslims were in the mosques doing their evening prayers. as muslims during ramadan do. people as a sitting isis have excommunicated themselves best people associating themselves with isis have excommunicate themselves. the people who purport to use islam are no different than members of the kkk who have perverted christianity to support their activities in the past. this is absolutely analogous activities that are going on. host: farhana khera of muslim advocates. muslimadvocates tha.org. think you so much. -- thank you so much. guest: thank you. host: now, we take you to the house of representatives.

is muslim. that gives you a sense of how discriminated against the french muslim population is in france. and we've seen obviously a lot of terrorist attacks in france, similarly in belgium. many carried out about people who have gone through the french or belgium prison systems. i think the united kingdom has done a much better job overall of integrated tir musm populations than certainly many countries in europe, which is not to say that it's perfect. i think united states does an even better job because we have the american dream which is operated, all sorts of immigrants, including muslim immigrants. they are about as educated as the americans and have similar income. that is not something you can say about unite the kingdom muslims. european countries have been integrating muslims. it's not perfect. bear in mind, of course, the mayor of london is muslim so that speaks for itself. there aren't too many american mayors of cities in the united states who are muslim. so, being the mayor of lond

iwant to kill muslims. i want to kill muslims? and kill me. he saidi want to kill muslims?didn't answer. ithought, was i wouldn't do that, and he didn't answer. i thought, was it by imagination, i wasjust, answer. i thought, was it by imagination, iwasjust, within answer. i thought, was it by imagination, i wasjust, within a second, people on the floor. did it feel like you are being targeted? deliberately, 100%, basically, the way he was driving on the corner of it, because when we were on the floor with the old man, we were trying to give him cpr... explain, you had come out of the mosque... basically, where it happened, there is coffee, me and by friends were meeting there, we saw this man on the floor, i said let's go and see him first before we have a coffee. this was completely separate. we we re this was completely separate. we were helping him, he collapsed on the floor. a little crowd of people. some people were saying maybe he thought there was a mosque, people came out, he saw the crowd, that's why he turned on the corner... but i don't know, i somehow managed to

is very diverse community of on their there is many muslims and muslims alike and it is unfortunate. that this happened in this area where people get together and we have no problem whatsoever between communities yeah i've just been reading a lot of reports of course about what happened trying to piece together information in some of those reports especially in the british tabloids mohammad that described your mosque as the place where quote hate preacher abu hamza used to preach just to remind our viewers i mean. was the finsbury park mosque was convicted for terrorism a lot has changed since then of course does it bother you that they're bringing that aspect up at such a difficult time for you and people who go to your mosque. of course actually i mean homs i was in the mosque before two thousand and five i mean we are twelve years. ahead now two of the twelve years on people and unfortunately these tabloids media are still talking about this this this period it is unbelievable i mean the mosque now is an example for other mosque is it not just only a mosque it is a community cente

most muslims live in secular states or states with some form of -- they are also millions of muslims today who live as considerable minorities. the medina muslims are not satisfied with the status quo. their goal is to transform all muslim majority countries into islamic theocracy is and to use muslim immigrant minorities as a beachhead to transform non-muslim societies, even free ones. they have a long time horizon and already have a foothold. medina muslims use a combination of force or jihad along with the dissemination of their ideology through a mechanism known as doha. in theory doha is consistent proselytizing. it's a process of radical indoctrination. doha advocates use the cover of missionary efforts education and cultural activities. they target the individual families the education system the workspace the broader economic society as a whole. it's totalitarian like communism and fascism because different. this quest by the medina muslims to establish sharia across the globe by all means has led to weak and failed states to civil wars and the exodus of people from their hom

to be muslim. i would argue in my historian hat that this was part of the very inception of islam from the very beginning. that there was -- when the taxes were flowing in, whether you were in damascus or the money was flowing in and there was a wealth of expression of what it means to be muslim. you could be sunni, shia, et cetera but when the taxes were restricted and you have c conservetism that is bad. i grew up in south carolina so i guess i can make that connection. there are some better speaking out. we have seen american muslim leaders that have been placed on the hit list. when they do speak out there not credible. when they do speak out they're not credible and their voices are marginalized. they don't do islam the way we wanted to be done. i think what has to be done and emerge that it needs to come organically from the community and there has to be partnerships across the world and quite frankly, i think the western muslim experience, whether you are in the uk or belgium will serve as a

government and muslim communities. that's critical.ki there is a lack of trust and cooperation between many technology communities in the u.s. government and that is very problematic. i very much understand. company us are doing what they're designed to do, protect can shareholder value, expanding shareholder value, but we are now in a place where -- companies have done a lot, google, facebook, twitter in particular, have done a lot in the past two years to increase cooperation, but it was starting at pretty low point because of the leaks of edward snowedden and that alienation. we have to get back to a point where there is a cooperative relationship where easily identifiable feature which are rather indisputably associated with political violence of any sort, are rapidly reported to the u.s. government. that's not what happens today. often removed. rare he reported and the u.s. government simply doesn't have the means to monitor the internet. it's impossible so building that trust, rebuilding that trust with people wh

muslims. that is a terror attack like what we saw on london bridge. right now the people over there were quite agitated. there were some pieople who wer angry because this happened. but for the most part, everyone remained calm, just trying to figure out, ana, what exactly happened. >> exactly. and cnn global affairs analyst david rhode is joining us on the telephone. police aren't sure if this is a terror attack, they have one person in custody. presumably they are interviewing this person right now and they believe this is the driver of the vehicle they are talking to. you say this is exactly what isis wants. >> again, we don't know what happened, but if this was some sort of retaliatory attack on muslims, they do want to sow division. they do want people of different faiths, christians frankly versus muslims carrying out these kind of attacks. it's a step backwards. i mean, whoever carried this out thinks he's going to somehow, you know, slow this down or this is going to cause radical musl

he was saying i want to kill muslims, i want to kill muslims.e to run away he came back to where he drove. i hit him on his stomach, he fell down on the floor. me and there was other guys, we held him to the ground until he was... couldn't move. we held him until the police came. the police took around 20 minutes to half an hour. they took a very long time, and the ambulance as well. abdul, that's absolutely extraordinary. describe this man for us. extraordinary. describe this man for us. what did he looked like an repeat again, abdul, what he was shouting when you detained him? he was saying... when we got him on the ground, i asked him, was saying... when we got him on the ground, iasked him, why did was saying... when we got him on the ground, i asked him, why did you do that? i was very emotional and very upset. why did you do that? you killed so many people. at that time ididn't killed so many people. at that time i didn't know how many people got injured or died but i said, why did you do that, why did you do that? he said kill me, kill me

muslim enclaves. leiter you have broad experience working with their international allies and partners and i know you travel extensively and works arm in arm with both your counterparts in these european countries and the police in these european countries produce that factual? are there. zones? >> in my experience in denmark, brussels, the united kingdom, germany and france as we work with law enforcement officials i never saw anything remotely resembling a no-go zone. >> in the written testimony and by the way dr. ali can i would love to see the citation. it's a 140 cases against the one you cite specifically? i believe mr. leiter your former u.s. attorney say specifically a man was acquitted for severely raping his wife on the ground she was muslim and therefore subject to sharia law. i don't believe that is true. i believe is patently false. mr. leiter are you familiar with that case? >> a case arose, an individual is seeking a restraining order against a husband for sexual abuse and the new jerse

or a non—muslim.e going to harm innocent people, there is only a terror person who will do that. abdul, you are a very brave man. well done. thank you very much. thank you. abdul, part of the group that tackled this man, i would say undoubtedly helped to save lives overnight last night. we know one man has died, eight people in hospital, the driver of the van, also in hospital, in police custody, and he will be questioned as soon as he is released. rim, thank you so much. we will be back with you in a few moments, we've been hearing from the police in the last few minutes, we heard from the deputy police commissioner. and he had this to say. a man received first aid at the scene and sadly he has died. any causative link between that will form part of the investigation, it's too early to state if his death was the result of the attack. our thoughts are absolutely with all of those affected by the incident on seven sisters road and their family, friends and the wider community. no matter what the motiva

there are muslims who are -- gay, black, there are muslims who are arab.o ie think we as highlighted o as well we immediate to amplify the twist here there are multiparking lot muslim communities and identities that represent multiple expression and what it means to be muslim and i would argue in my support historian hat that this was part ofbe the very inception of islam from the very gipping that there was -- when had the taxes were flowing in whether you were in that's damascus and period money was flowing in. there was a wealth of expression of what it means to be muslim.y sunni, shiite et cetera, but when taxes were restrict then you have a conservatism that developed. that's not to say that conservatism is bad but equivalent of southern baptist so i guess i can make that connection. so american muslim community there are some who are speaking the. we have seen muslim leaders and american muslim leaders that have been placed on the hit list.le and inspire as well and speak out responses psychologicals for hire.ey when they do speak the they're not cre

the muslim community appeals to all sections within their own communities. hides among their own people and masquerades as islam. the muslim community is alarmed and this attack by three concerned that this attack by three people which would have required planning, and yet, was not reported. reported. it is the islamic duty of every muslim to be loyal to the country in which they live, and we are asking questions to understand how extremism and hatred has taken hold within some elements of our own communities. terrorism and extremism is hurting islam. muslims must do more to stop such attacks from happening again and we want to know how we can play a greater role in the future. that was the statement on behalf of the muslim communities. a wider statement now follows. by the wider commune until and in particular, leaders of all faiths. terrorism affects all community, and the recent attacks in the uk show the recent attacks in the uk show the indiscriminate nature of hurt, injury and death to all communities. including muslim people who feel that the religion

according to muslim council that happened nearby the mosque outside the muslim welfare house, the van ran over worshippers, leaving the mosque after midnight ramadan prayers. it also added that their prayers are with those victims, we have been hearing from theresa may, primprime minister's office, she described the crash as a terrible incident, we dean don't have much more, she said my thoughts are with those who have been injured, their loved one and emergency services on seen. london ambulance service saying that injury have been taken to area hospitals, this is unclear if it is terror related, authorities in london are continuing to investigate a possible cause. finsbury park mosque was locks so yeahlong associated with extt ideologies for many years after 9/11 attacks in u.s., but it was then shut down and reorganized. it has not been associated with radical views for more than a decade. before two today, brit app's brs terroror alert was already raisd to severe. it was raised after recent evens, including the similar attack on london bridge this month, a van plowing into pedestr

and he goes, "i want to kill muslims."resa may has described last night's attack as an act of hatred which was "every bit as sickening" as other recent terrorist incidents. today we come together as we have done before to condemn this act and to state once again that hatred and evil of this kind will never succeed. police say at least 79 people have died in the grenfell towerfire — a minute's silence for those who lost their lives has been observed across the uk. a year on from the brexit vote, and talks finally begin to settle the terms of the uk's withdrawal from the european union. and portugal declares three days of mourning as hundreds of firefighters still tackle a forest fire which has killed more than 60 people. and in the sport on bbc news, golf has another new major champion. brooks koepka shot a record equalling 16 under par to win the us open. good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one. police have said they are treating the attack on a crowd of muslims near the finsbury park mosque in north london as a

i believe the vast majority of muslims -- i call them mecca muslims because they site muhammad and his legacy from mecca. there's a third subset who eject the it military aspects of islam. i call them the reformers. they're different because they stand up to the madina muslims by openly rejecting sharia. most muslims live in secular states or states with some form of sharia. there are also millions of muslims who live as considerable minorities in nonmuslim societies like ours. the madina muslims are not satisfied with this status quo. their goal is to transform all muslim majority countries into islamic theocracies and to use muslim immigrant minorities as a beach head to transform nonmuslim societies, even free ones, such as the u.s. they have a long-time horizon and already have a foot hold. madina muslims use a combination of force or jihad along with the desemination of the ideology through a mechanism known as doa. in theory it's the call to islam and consists of postizing. it's a process of radical indoctrination. they use the cover of missionary efforts, relief work, education

he goes, i want to kill muslims. he said i wa nt i want to kill muslims.ill all muslims. after a struggle, the suspected driver was arrested. the imaam had intervened to prevent violence and the suspect was handed over to the police. why did you do that? we flagged them down, told them the situation, there isa man, down, told them the situation, there is a man, he mowed down a group of people and there is a mob attempting to hurt him if you don't take him, god forbid he may be hurt. he said he had rushed there to a help a cousin. i couldn't believe it. what i saw there, i was like, oh, cousin. i couldn't believe it. what i saw there, iwas like, oh, like cousin. i couldn't believe it. what i saw there, i was like, oh, like a field full of... flesh, people screaming. half of them were teenagers. i was telling everyone, look, you know, we can't do nothing about him. we need to focus on these people. try and get help to these people. try and get help to these people. there is one ambulance and... you know there is other people injured. we have got cars. the 47

and he goes, i want to kill muslims. i want to kill muslims. and kill me. out of the mosque... we came next, where it happened, coffee, me and my friends we re happened, coffee, me and my friends were meeting, we saw this man on the floor, we said let's go and see him... it was completely separate, an elderly man had collapsed and you we re an elderly man had collapsed and you were helping him? we were helping him, there was a little crowd of people. some people were saying, maybe he thought there was a mosque, he saw the crowd. that's why he turned on the corner of it. i don't know how i managed to escape. turned on the corner of it. i don't know howl managed to escape. can i ask you one more question, we've heard various reports there were three people in the van?” heard various reports there were three people in the van? i could only see one person come out from the van. he was a big man. very strong, big man, very strong. that's why there were other people trying to get him hold... when i tackled him, we put him on the ground until the police came and t

anti-muslim law demonstration s and pro-muslim counter protests took place in nearly two dozen cities nationwide. nats-protestsfrom new york city to seattle... there were anti-sharia law demonstrations and pro-muslim counter protests.nats - protests saturday.. hundreds of protesters marched against sharia law - a group of principles that govern the moral and religious lives of muslims.chanting: sharia law is against our freedom. it's against human rights the protest put on by "act for america", an organization some view as the largest anti-muslim hate group. but organizers say the march against sharia law is about fighting for human rights.. mos: reporter: is act anti-muslim? no act is against sharia law... degrading to woman."and not far from where many of the anti-sharia protesters were holding up signs and banners ... pro- muslim demonstrators were also taking a stand. mos: i want to stop the attack on arabs on muslims. butt sot 12:40:50 we cannot allow any group to be scapegoat. mos: i don't think muslims are here to impose sharia law on anybody. i think they're here in america be

, i wa nt to saying i want to kill muslims, i want to kill muslims, so because there was replaced todrove us so i hit him on his stomach which he fell down on the floor and then me and some other guys held him to the ground until he was, couldn't move, and we held him until the police came. the police took around i would say 20 minutes to half an hour, they took very long, and ambulance as well. abdul, that's absolutely extraordinary. just described this man for us. did extraordinary. just described this manfor us. did he extraordinary. just described this man for us. did he look like and repeat again, abdul, what it was shouting when you were detaining him. he was saying, well, when we put it on the ground, i asked him why did you do that? i was very emotional. i was very upset, you know, why did you do that? you killed so many people! at that time ididn't killed so many people! at that time i didn't know how many people were injured or died and i said why did you do that? he said kill me. i said why did you do that? you have killed so many people! for no reason! i think this man, y

i am having to justify myself to you, as a young muslim.y bag and say actually, i have curry in my bag. do i need to show you that i have food in my bag? what kind of world do we live in? the stories are not rare, whose fault is it? i think some of the language that we have been hearing that the referendum campaign is really fuelling this. some of the images that the campaign, i know there are different versions of the league campaign, but the one led by my ukip person here on the left, i'm not quite able to call him a colleague, but the one led by his leader, nigel farage, when he stood in front of that revolting poster of desperate syrian refugees saying, what was it? "breaking point". those images leave a lasting impact and they fuel some of the hate crime that we see. one week after the referendum... those posters were used in germany in the 1930s. if you look at the two posters side—by—side they are carbon copies. the evidence, the week after the campaign, recorded hate crime went up 43%. it says it all. can i bring in shailesh vara? w

we have not enlisted muslim reform, muslim reform has leaders ready to mobilize on social media, they are working with apologists, don't want to take this on. when ariana grande had her concert, we reached out and said help us spread the word of the need to reform within islam. unfortunately, it was left to that's how you come together but we need to figure out what are we fighting for? what is it that we want to protect and have our kids be around to enjoy? >> dr. jasser, what do you think about monitoring mosques here in the u.s.? >> here's the thing. we absolutely need to have more sunlight, more daylight shed on mosques and what they're teaching, what they're not, but we have to be careful not to take away their civil rights or change what it is to be american. you don't defeat bad ideas by pushing it underground, you expose them as incompatible with america, so yes the police need to be monitoring them in public space, not doing illegal wiretaps but exposing sermones and books and ideology to the light of the sociies in which they're in, and begin to have counterislamist programs

council for various eyewitnesses, the muslim councilfor britain various eyewitnesses, the muslim councils a deliberate attack, one that targeted muslims. we can now speak to muhbeen hussain, founder of british muslim youth, he's been at finsbury park mosque speak to witnesses. on the ground? i think it must be clarified that this was outside muslim welfare house. in fact there's been some wrong reporting of this, and there's been some frustration on the ground. not really anger, just emotions are high. with eyewitnesses that were there at the time of the attack, you can't confirm many things at the moment, but the idea that it was a deliberate attack is something that was on the attack. we condemned the attack as soon as it happened. we heard about victims and we have prayed for them, but going there, we saw there was real frustration, but also emotions were really high. people just witnessed that attack. that there is also solidarity which is quite potent. people are very thankful that the police are there and doing their duty as well. this is such an important time of year, of course,

defending the muslim. it's like what happened talk on the news, talk on the news, listen to everyone, so maybe say that sometimes people treat it. >> thank you. thank you. thank you. >> reporter: so this is the community, also, really that's trying to figure out what happened. i think the two big questions they are trying to figure out right now. what were the motives behind this incident? what was going through this person's head? fortunately, they have the man who was driving this van so they'll be able to question him. also, he didn't see any other people, we've heard from other eyewitnesss that said there could have been other people there, that's something for the police, although the police aren't commenting if there were more people involved. we'll have to wait for more information to come out. >> all right. cnnian lee reporng from there at the scene of the incident. >>> isamel refrequencied the earlier. it's worth pointing out you were not an eyewitness to this, but what are people in the area sayi

their goal is to transform all muslim countries and to use muslim immigrant minorities as a beach head to transform nonmuslim societies, even free ones such as the u.s. they already have a foothold. me dean no use a force along with desimilar nation through a mechanism. in theory it is the call to islam. in practice it's a process of radical indoctrine nation. they use the education and cultural activities. they target the individual, education system, workplace, broader economic society as a whole. it's totalitarian but different. this quest by the medina muslims by all means has lead to repression and in few societies to deviciveness and break down of social cohesion. we must stop not only the violent entities like isis, al qaeda and others but also dismantle the networks. above all we need to chal ledge the principals of sherrea law. >>> our next witness is ms.namoni. she lead the project, a stude student -- >> thank you so much. thank you chairman johnson and senators for this invitation to be here today. our hearts are indeed gripped with the horror of this morning's shooting. i f

let's hear from the muslim council for britain.ncident, citing witnesses and videos online. in making its statement, it says: that is the statement from the muslin council of britain, they interpreted in all the events shortly after midnight in the uk in london. interesting what they say, it shines with many eyewitnesses we have spoken to through the night, why aren't we yet calling this a terror attack? —— chines. we've heard from the prime minister that this is potentially being treated as a terrorist attack. through the night as we've been following this story, eyewitnesses say this was deliberately targeting worshippers as they left the mosque in north london. they are saying they felt it was a terrorist attack. we've heard from the muslim council for britain and the ramadan foundation that it is potentially being treated as a terrorist attack. let's listen to another man who described what happened when the incident took place. apparently they were helping an elderly gentleman that had collapsed beforehand. the van turned left

rob: if you are, as most are a good muslim and god fearing muslim, this is the time to just come out and say, you know, i join the rest of the world in condemning this. these horrible act of violence. they must be more frustrated than just about anybody else e doctor, thank you very much. >> exactly. thank you. rob: let's get to other news now a sailor's mother describes her son's urgent efforts to save his comrades abored a doomed destroyer. 19-year-old son brayden harr bon kept diving into the uss fitzgerald after colliding with a cargo ship with japan. he kept going until all of those areas ran out of air pockets. all seven sailors killed in the coalitio collision have been identified. all seven were sleeping when this happened. still no word on what caused this accident. heather: u.s. fighter jet shooting down a syrian warplane. the action was taken after the pro-assad military jet dropped bombs on u.s. backed fighters near the city of raqqa. the shootdown is the first of a syrian aircraft by the u.s. military since it began fighting isis in the country in 2014. it could bring mo

it's about people who are obviously advisably muslim. visibly muslim.bviously visably muslim. or in communities where there is a big critical mass of muslims that are targeted and have been for a long time. darren, give us some insight into the mind set. you were an early member of edl. what was going on in your life that attracted you to a message of hate? well, at the time, in 2009, basically, i bought into the narrative of them and us. personally, i felt looking back respectively, disenfranchised. i didn't — i didn't realise it then, but looking back, from the path i'm on now, i was. i wasn't happy with local governance and there was... there were... it had a big muslim population and they had one or two more extreme elements there, is that right? it was quite divided and tribal? we were living our lives and the way we were living in luton wasn't being portrayed correctly i felt via the media or local newspapers. disenfranchised and kicked in basically. vauxhall had shut a few years before that. you don't use the word "radicalised" of yourself. did y

muslims and do positive things.f the reasons i think this is an act of revenge over what happened at the mask the other day. these are people who have just finished their prayers that night and they are going home to start their fast and they got run over by a car. one person died and ten were injured, but all the communities need to get together. we need to get together and fix these problems. there is anger here in finsbury park where we are after. attack. what there is anger here in finsbury park where we sayafter. attack. what there is anger here in finsbury park where we say'ifs beeeietti the what it is the of community? it is the month of ramadan and a very holy month for muslims and we need to stick together and be strong and be very patient. we cannot now go out there and say we are looking for revenge and say we are looking for revenge and we are going to do this and that. the local community has to support the people whose families are suffering. we have to stick together and make sure that they stick toge

cannot feel complete cannot live a normal life in a non- muslim society.he australian doctor which you quote says in his letter to the australian muslim physician i have finally returned home, a country that probably never seen or knew but that was home simply because it was ruled by the banner of islam as proclaimed by the islamic state. of course, this id is hardly new throughout the middle ages we found the effects of the various schools of jurisprudence argue about not living under the muslim and the palestinians were obliged to leave the state so that they were not full by the muslims -- how do you deal with such an idea it's a very dangerous idea that you cannot be a complete muslim without living under the rule of sharia. >> as you say, this is as you say a conversation that has taken place over the course of hundreds of years and what the obligations are of a muslim in terms of migration to places where he would be ruled by an islamic government. that really speaks to one of the difficulties in dealing with the attraction of the islamic state. it i

because they were wearing muslim gash or h muslim garb or how could you tell?> yes, they were all wearing the white muslim -- i don't know the name of that, but yes. >> so -- >> there were different kind of people in there but mostly them. and because i'm so used to eing them there every day, i just assum that maybe there's someuslims between the victims i saw on the floor. >> our lee joins us now reporting from the scene of the collision. ian, it is minutes after 6:00 in the morning, very early, but still people will start waking up to this. are you getting reaction from people finding out about the news? are you seeing that or not? >> reporter: right after this incident, this attack or what sadiq khan is calling a terrorist attack, there were a lot of people out here wanting answers. there was -- the crowd at times was a big agitated because of the attack and who it targeted, but there was no violence or anything like that. but people really want to know. this is a community that is close knit. a lot of people know people who were praying at that mosque. i sp

the muslim community is doing that challenging.need to have serious questions about cuts when the muslim community was the one reporting salman abedi a multiple number of times. we need a real discussion about what is happening here and what is happening with intelligence, and the idea that when something like this is perpetrated by someone specifically in a community that the entire community is to blame but when jo cox was murdered, there was no blame on the community, it was "just some guy". but we know that there are dangers, and to what happened in preston the other day, we know there are dangers with white supremacist ideology. that is murderous. we need to talk about what we all can do rather than saying some of us are guilty by association, which we are not. baroness sheehan? let me express my deepest sympathy for the families and loved ones of the 22 people who were brutally murdered. can i pay tribute to the emergency services who came forward so fantastically for us, and the nhs which was exemplary and illustrates, if it

and he goes, i wanna kill muslims.ayor of london and the commissioner metropolitan police are there. i will say some words, the mayor will say some words. i had to leave, i'm going to memorial service, which i have to be at. the mayor will stay for some questions. we are here you are well aware because of the terrible, terrible attack which took place last night. we have a number of people in hospital, whose lives are turned upside down. we have one person who has died. as you are aware, a man has died. as you are aware, a man has been arrested. this was quite clearly a n has been arrested. this was quite clearly an attack on muslims, who looked like they were probably muslims, coming from a prayer meeting. we treat this as a terrorist attack, and we in the met are shocked as everybody in this community and across the country at what has happened. we take all forms of hate crime and violent extremism extremely seriously. wherever we possibly can we would seek to prevent attacks, and if we cannot prevent attacks, and if

also non—muslims as well.ty. has there been any sign ofan on our city. has there been any sign of an increase in islamophobic comments, graffiti, warning threats in the wake of the incidents like for example the attack in manchester? as we know, reports indicate there is a rising islamophobia and a rise in extremist crimes. in the last couple of months especially, we find there is a backlash against muslims but it is important muslims themselves come out and show what the true islam is. i myself have received comments, slurs, abuse social media and people have said to me as well that this is terrible and what you guys are doing is against humanity. for us, it is important we show respect and tell them, you are misinformed about islam. it is important to show and portrayed the true teachings of islam so i would like to thank you for allowing us to come and voice our opinion about these incidents. the problem i suppose is still fringe activity, whether it is the islamophobics or those who use the name of islam t

—— muslims. everyone's responsibility to condemn terrorism but there is clearly a problem within some aspects, a very small minority, of the muslim community that i do not think the solution is to ignore it and say that itjust is not there, because a significant portion, if not a majority of terror attacks we see, are committed by those supporting these ideologies, essentially. bob dhillon, ukip? my sympathies again go to the people of manchester. we have to go back to the 19705, when we look at british policy which has gone wrong. basically, what we have done is funded the5e terrori5t basically, what we have done is funded the5e terrorist groups in the 19705 and 19805 to overthrow ru55ian regimes in afghanistan and various other middle east countries. that is where the policy 5tarted. then, what we did secondly, wa5 where the policy started. then, what we did secondly, was the secret services were qualified people who we re services were qualified people who were replaced by cronies, by tony bla

very strong muslim community, this area. and what's happening today i think it's the people must be extremely, extremely sad and the people here are very concerned like they say, this is terror attack. it's not actually accident or incident. and the people, they want to see the media report the truth because now i think people they say, when something happening to the muslim people like the media, it's not reported, but. >>t's theelationship between the communit between the muslim community, the other minority. the black community, the other minority community, this can efl effect them, you know. >> we have to make sure that doesn't happen, right? >> hopefully, we pray for like unity and we pray for people because these people they try to separate the community. they try to make a division, you know -- hate us. i don't think they'll succeed because we're pure. we feel like, yes, this is might happen, but we're still looking for peace, we're looking for unity. we're looking for -- because we're all looking for unity, looking

and he goes, i want to kill muslims.ill me, and i said, we're not going to kill you, why did you do that? you wouldn't a nswer why did you do that? you wouldn't answer me back. these pictures appeared to show the suspect being detained by police. a 48—year—old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder. this is being treated as a terrorist attack and the counter terrorism commander is investigating. this was an attack on london and all londoners, and we should all stand together against extremists whatever their cause. after the attack on a mosque, many people walked towards the muslim power is. it was then that the van drove upa power is. it was then that the van drove up a bus lane and swerved into a crowd who were helping an elderly man who had been taken ill. a crowd who were helping an elderly man who had been taken illm a crowd who were helping an elderly man who had been taken ill. it is a reminder that terrorism, extremism and hatred take many forms, and our determination to tackle them must be the same whoever

your order is about muslims. about targeting muslims and keeping them out. >> chris, let's stop that. >> allowing those who are not muslim a carveout to come in. >> let's do a little 101, a little trivial pursuit. what is the most populous muslim nation in the world, chris? >> you tell me. these are your answers. >> no, you tell me the biggest muslim nation in the world. massive population. >> i want to give you the opportunity. >> you don't know. >> assume i know nothing. go ahead. >> it's indonesia. i will assume you know nothing. what is the largest arab nation in the world? >> you tell me. >> egypt. so if this had anything, and i mean anything, to do with race or religion, why would those two nations, the most populous muslim nations, and the most populous arab nation not be included on the executive order? explain that logic to me, because this is where your spin fails. this is where the fake news propaganda collapses, because if we had some dark dread ulterior motive those are the first two nations you woul

muslim. >> muslim first. muslim second.m last. >> reporter: hasan's report insight into the inner working of a radical group. the muslims we spoke to in east london today were horrified by the attack including a community leader at a local mosque who asked we obscure his face for security reasons. >> the first thing i thought was i hope it's not a muslim. >> how does something like that, terrorists acting that way, affect your community here? >> to be honest, we feel our community is under siege because every time something like this happens we feel that we need to come out and say it's not us. we're appalled and traumatized by it as much as anybody else. >> is there a way for you guys to see that there might be this type of behavior brewing? >> that's really difficult for anybody to see. that's difficult for a community to see. it's difficult for law enforcement to see. because if it was that easy we'd all see it. >> this is our city. >> reporter: at a vigil in london earlier this evening messages of unity and love. >> we

community so once you've been fed that that muslims cannot be trusted the muslims are inherently violent and extremist and of course you're going to have these kind of attacks taking place so i think that this be a responsible coverage from the media and responsible rhetoric from the politicians that would be a step in the right way forward. from the. news website appreciate your time. international we'll update you on our breaking news our breaking top story russia has suspended cooperation with. the details coming out. this. economy is. business to run this country business. it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been. i don't see a clear craft strap that isn't anywhere i only see that because i. think it's good for today. you have a team of four with grief. and you know divorce immediately i feel that we are in the. historical moment in the middle east and it is very difficult to predict how things will be called. breaking news the top story probably at the top of the program the russian defense ministry says it's halted cooperation with the u.s. military in syria th
