secular countries where significant muslim minorities are also struggling to find a good way to live with them france for example is banning not just full face veils there is also talk of banning their regular head scarves like the one you are wearing right now or. are the french right to enforce their vision of secularity in their own country. what the french actually are doing is the other coin the other face of the same coin forcing on woman a dress code i think the dress code should be women's right in forcing women to put it on and in forcing women to take it off is this is but the c. act of massaging me so what. france is claiming to do in name of secularism could be contested by other secularist as we have seen and said no this is not actually secularism that this is a distorted understanding of secularism this is actually forcing a state religion on people yeah it's the same thing you know what for instance for instance if we take example of turkey when turkey knitted to emancipate women the only way they could do it is too bad legally now it's lifted but it does seem like so

, appear to be who muslim, we have seen a rise in targeting people believed to be muslim. s a direct result of the inflammatory and antimuslim statement that the president and the administration has made simply no basis for it, the amount of time is mute and one person is subject to discrimination based on their faith, that alone was reason to to court and challenge this. that alone is why it is unacceptable for any part of ban to go forward. host: i want to get to other things happening, we have other callers that want to talk to you. the house passed two immigration "new york ding to times," legislation would increase prison sentences for reentering the country illegally and pressure sanctuary comply with federal immigration officials, including federal funds. talk a little about the bills bills e sanctuary cities and what are their chances in the senate? guest: sure. is the debate around so-called sanctuary cities, it's not new. in many ways a term , because for omer some people, it suggest local olice and law enforcement who adopted policies that say, we want to adopt

it's about muslim and non-muslim interaction. lots of other americans are supportive of that frustration. >> laura: welcome to the club, everyone is disappointed all the time. we don't hear immigrants traditionally saying we will not assimilate. what frustrates me, i know muslim americans who hear this and go crazy. they say she does not represent us. they hate hearing her words. she doesn't want to assimilate. she says defamatory words. it's nastiness and hate. it's not positive stuff. >> is very radical. she was specifically inciting hatred and violence. if these words were coming out of any other person, they would say they overstepped their lines. you have to understand her background. she is a lady who comes from a long line of terrorists. her family members sit in our israeli jails for terrorism. she called him her hero and mentor. how she listens to his voice while laying in bed and thinking about issues in this country. and then she gives this speech. it is the number one organization listed in the muslim brotherhood plan

countries and all in all other countries muslim woman drive so what we want this is the discourse that we are posing here is we want to end this monopoly off interpret islam in misawa genest way we want to say no this is not islam this is not even sharia because sharia is a dynamic process and this is so we go back to and review history and history of the development of. the schools legal thought in islam and see how it developed and see how the process sharia itself needs to be contextualized i see this as taking the of the debates a woman as being. as islam being. inherently. misawa genus religion to another realm where we we have alternative. discourses to the dominant monic massage of this discourse on islam today so that's why we we ask for more revisiting of history more revisiting of. schools of thought schools of thought including fuck and so no one claims a monopoly of that's so that's why in a way there is an opportunity to to to build a new feminist a new again literary an interpretation of islam and shadi our. secular countries with significant muslim minorities are also st
